AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2006
(unaudited)
|
|
1. |
Organization and Formation of the Company |
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the
Company), commenced operations as a fully integrated
real estate company effective with the completion of its initial
public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected
to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT)
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the Code), commencing with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current
organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain
its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling
interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the Operating Partnership), is
engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of
industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout
North America, Europe and Asia. The Company uses the terms
industrial properties or industrial
buildings to describe various types of industrial
properties in its portfolio and uses these terms interchangeably
with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses;
distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput
Distribution®
(HTD®)
facilities; or any combination of these terms. Unless the
context otherwise requires, the Company means AMB
Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other
controlled subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company owned an approximate
95.3% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership,
excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 4.7% common
limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated
investors and certain current and former directors and officers
of the Company. Certain properties are owned 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. 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.
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into
co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These
co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an
additional source of capital and income. As of March 31,
2006, the Company had investments in seven consolidated
(including one consolidated joint venture in liquidation) and
two unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures.
AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(AMB Capital Partners), provides real estate
investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty
Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of
businesses that include development projects available for sale
or contribution to third parties and incremental income
programs. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, also
conducts a variety of businesses that include development
projects available for sale or contribution to third parties.
AMB Capital Partners, Headlands Realty Corporation and IMD
Holding Corporation are wholly-owned direct or indirect
subsidiaries of the Company and the Operating Partnership.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company owned or had investments
in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint
ventures, or managed buildings, properties and development
projects expected to total approximately 119.2 million
rentable square feet (11.1 million square meters) and
1,094 buildings in 42 markets within eleven countries. The
Companys strategy is to become a leading provider of
distribution properties in supply-constrained submarkets located
near key international passenger and cargo airports, highway
systems and seaports in major metropolitan areas of North
America, Europe and Asia. These submarkets are generally tied to
global trade.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Of the approximately 119.2 million rentable square feet as
of March 31, 2006:
|
|
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, the Company owned or partially owned
907 industrial buildings, principally warehouse
distribution buildings, encompassing approximately
89.8 million rentable square feet that were
94.7% leased; |
|
|
|
the Company managed, but did not have an ownership interest in,
industrial and other properties, totaling approximately
1.5 million rentable square feet; |
|
|
|
through unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company had
investments in 85 industrial operating properties, totaling
approximately 12.8 million rentable square feet, and in two
industrial development projects, expected to total approximately
0.3 million rentable square feet; |
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, the Company had investments in
45 industrial development projects which are expected to
total approximately 12.4 million rentable square feet upon
completion; and |
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, the Company owned six development
projects, with a total estimated investment of approximately
$293.1 million and approximately 2.4 million rentable
square feet, that were available for sale or contribution. |
|
|
2. |
Interim Financial Statements |
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 of
America have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a
normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of
the Companys consolidated financial position and results
of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of future results. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate
and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances
indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the
carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair
value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or
below-market leases,
in-place leases and
lease origination costs for all new acquisitions, and records an
intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for
financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a
property-by-property
basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable.
Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than
the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected
future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on
assumptions regarding current and future economics and market
conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment
analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying
value of the Companys long-lived assets could occur in the
future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent
that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount
of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to
earnings. The Company believes that there are no impairments of
the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of
March 31, 2006.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Reclassifications. Certain items in the consolidated
financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to current classifications.
Comprehensive Income. The Company reports comprehensive
income in its Statement of Stockholders Equity.
Comprehensive income was $27.5 million and
$45.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
International Operations. The U.S. dollar is the
functional currency for the Companys subsidiaries
operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional
currency for the Companys subsidiaries operating outside
the United States and Mexico is generally the local currency of
the country in which the entity is located. 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
as a separate component of stockholders equity.
The Companys international subsidiaries may have
transactions denominated in currencies other than their
functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and
liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate,
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the
functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of
the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the
average exchange rate for the period. These gains (losses) are
included in the Companys results of operations.
The Company also records gains or losses in the income statement
when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency
other than the entitys functional currency, is settled and
the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less
than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the
transaction was initiated.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. The Company adopted
SFAS 123R, Share Based Payment, on January 1,
2006. The Company opted to utilize the modified prospective
method of transition in adopting SFAS 123R. The effect of
this change from applying the original expense recognition
provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, had an immaterial effect on income before minority
interests and discontinued operations, income from continuing
operations, net income and earnings per share, as described in
further detail in Note 13. The effect of this change from
applying the original provisions of SFAS 123 had no effect
on cash flow from operating and financing activities. The
Company recorded a cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle in the amount of $0.2 million as of
March 31, 2006 to reflect the change in accounting for
forfeitures. The Company values stock options using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as
an expense over the vesting periods. Under this standard,
recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all
options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. In
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company will
recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year
vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R, related stock
option expense was $2.1 million and $2.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock
and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting
periods. Related restricted stock compensation expense was
$2.7 million and $2.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The expense is
included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Results for
prior periods have not been restated.
Had compensation costs for the Companys stock-based
compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123, the Companys pro forma
net income available to common stockholders would have been
reduced by $0.2 million and pro forma basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been $0.54 and $0.52, respectively
for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2005, the Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) issued
EITF 04-5,
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General
Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar
Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. Under
this consensus, a sole general partner is presumed to control a
limited partnership (or similar entity) and should consolidate
that entity unless the limited partners possess kick-out rights
or other substantive participating rights as described in
EITF 96-16,
Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor
has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority
Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto
Rights. The Company adopted the consolidation requirements
of this consensus in the third quarter 2005 for all new or
modified agreements and adopted the consensus for existing
agreements during the first quarter of 2006. There was not a
material impact on the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of
$293.1 million. As of March 31, 2006, the Company and
its joint venture partners had funded an aggregate of
$548.1 million and needed to fund an estimated additional
$484.1 million in order to complete its development

Discontinued Operations. The Company reported its
property divestitures as discontinued operations separately as
prescribed under the provisions of SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets (SFAS No. 144). During the
three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company divested
itself of three industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
0.3 million square feet, for an aggregate price of
$14.7 million, with a resulting net gain of
$7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2005, the Company divested itself of 24 industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 1.5 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $142.1 million, with a resulting net
gain of $27.9 million.
Properties Held for Contribution. As of March 31,
2006, the Company held for contribution to a
co-investment joint
venture five industrial buildings with an aggregate net book
value of $266.3 million, which, when contributed to a joint
venture, will reduce the Companys current ownership
interest from approximately 100% to an expected range of
20-50%. These assets
are not being held for divestiture under SFAS No. 144.
Properties Held for Divestiture. As of March 31,
2006, the Company held for divestiture four industrial buildings
with an aggregate net book value of $31.2 million. These
properties either are not in the Companys core markets or
do not meet its current strategic objectives, or are included as
part of its
development-for-sale
program. The divestitures of the properties are subject to
negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions.
Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost
or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
The following summarizes the condensed results of operations of
the properties held for divestiture and sold under
SFAS No. 144 (dollars in thousands):

certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of
March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the total gross
investment book value of those properties securing the debt was
$3.6 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, including
$2.5 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, in
consolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2006,
$1.7 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest
at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.1%
while the remaining $308.6 million bear interest at
variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%).
As of March 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $962.5 million in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.3% and had an average term of 5.0 years. These
unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in
notes issued in June 1998, $225.0 million of medium-term
notes, which were issued under the Operating Partnerships
2000 medium-term note program, $325.0 million of
medium-term notes, which were issued under the Operating
Partnerships 2002 medium-term note program, and
approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due
2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private
placement, in exchange for the cancelled $100 million of
notes that were issued in June 1998 resulting in a discount of
approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt
securities are subject to various covenants. Management believes
that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in
compliance with their financial covenants as of March 31,
2006.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $63.5 million
outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 7.3% and had an average term of 3.8 years. Other
debt includes a $65.0 million non-recourse credit facility
obtained by AMB Partners II which had a $40.0 million
balance outstanding as of March 31, 2006, and the Company
also had $23.5 million outstanding in other non-recourse
debt.
The Operating Partnership has a senior unsecured revolving line
of credit in the amount of $500.0 million. The Company is a
guarantor of the Operating Partnerships obligations under
the credit facility. The three-year credit facility includes a
multi-currency component under which up to $250.0 million
can be drawn in Yen, Euros or British Pounds Sterling. The line,
which matures in June 2007 and carries a one-year extension
option, can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain
conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a
margin, based on the Operating Partnerships long-term debt
rating, which was 60 basis points as of March 31,
2006, with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points. The
Operating Partnership uses its unsecured credit facility
principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and
general working capital requirements. The total amount available
under the credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing
base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility,
which is generally based upon the value of the Companys
unencumbered properties. As of March 31, 2006, the
outstanding balance on the credit facility was
$383.4 million and the remaining amount available was
$91.2 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of
$25.4 million.
The outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros
and Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2006, equaled approximately $192.8 million
and $30.6 million in U.S. dollars, respectively. The
revolving credit facility 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 revolving
line of credit agreement at March 31, 2006.
On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary
of the Operating Partnership, entered into an unsecured
revolving credit agreement providing for loans or letters of
credit. On December 8, 2005, the unsecured revolving credit
agreement was amended to increase the maximum principal amount
outstanding at any time to up to 35.0 billion Yen, which,
using the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2006,
equaled approximately $297.2 million U.S. dollars, and
can be increased to up to 40.0 billion Yen upon certain
conditions. The Company, along with the Operating Partnership,
guarantees the obligations of AMB Japan

Finance Y.K. under the revolving 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 revolving 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. Generally, borrowers under the
revolving credit facility have the option to secure all or a
portion of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility
with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding
such real estate assets. The revolving credit facility matures
in June 2007 and has a one-year extension option, which is
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the
payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding
commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the
borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on
the credit rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt and was 60 basis points as of March 31, 2006. 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 20 basis points
of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of
March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the outstanding
balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in
effect on March 31, 2006, was $226.8 million in
U.S. dollars. The revolving credit facility 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 revolving credit agreement at
March 31, 2006.
On November 24, 2004, AMB Tokai TMK, a Japanese
subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into a secured
multi-advance project financing, providing for loans in a
maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to
20 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
March 31, 2006, equaled approximately $169.8 million
U.S. dollars. The financing agreement is among
AMB Tokai TMK, the Company, the Operating Partnership,
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Sumitomo) and a
syndicate of banks. The Company and the Operating Partnership
jointly and severally guarantee AMB Tokai TMKs
obligations under the financing agreement, pursuant to a
guaranty of payment executed in connection with the project
financing. The financing is secured by a mortgage on certain
real property located in Tokai, Tokyo, Japan, and matures on
October 31, 2006 with a one-year extension option. The rate
on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which is
based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnerships
long-term debt and was 60 basis points per annum as of
March 31, 2006, except that AMB Tokai TMK has
purchased from Sumitomo an interest rate swap, which has fixed
the interest rate payable on a principal amount equal to
13 billion Yen at 1.32% per annum plus the applicable
margin. In addition, there is an annual commitment fee based on
unused commitments, payable quarterly, which is based on the
credit rating of the Operating Partnerships long-term
debt, and was 20 basis points of the amount of unused
commitments as of March 31, 2006. The financing 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 the Company, the Operating Partnership and
AMB Japan Tokai TMK were in compliance with their financial
covenants under this financing agreement as of March 31,
2006. In addition, Sumitomo, AMB Tokai TMK and the
Operating Partnership signed a commitment letter on
November 24, 2004, pursuant to which Sumitomo committed to
purchase bonds that may be issued by AMB Tokai TMK in an
amount between 10.0 billion Yen and 15.0 billion Yen
(such amount to be determined by AMB Tokai TMK). The bonds
would be secured by the AMB Ohta Distribution Center and
would generally accrue interest at a rate of TIBOR plus
1.10% per annum; because the swap purchased by
AMB Tokai TMK from Sumitomo is coterminous with the
maturity date of the proposed bonds, AMB Tokai TMK will
have fixed the interest rate payable on, in general, a principal
amount equal to 13.0 billion Yen at 2.42% per annum.
The bonds, if issued, would mature on October 31, 2012. As
of March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on this
financing agreement was 19.5 billion Yen, which, using the
exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2006, equaled
approximately $165.6 million U.S. dollars and is
accounted for as wholly-owned secured debt.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
On February 16, 2006, the Operating Partnership and certain
of its consolidated subsidiaries entered into a third amended
and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million
unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the
then-existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit
facility that was to mature in June 2008. The Company, along
with the Operating Partnership, guarantees the obligations for
such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Company
or the Operating Partnership that are selected to be borrowers
by the Operating Partnership from time to time under and
pursuant to the credit facility. The four-year credit facility
includes a multi-currency component under which up to
$250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong
dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The
line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year
extension option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million
upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee
equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the
borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit
rating of the Operating Partnerships senior unsecured
long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of
March 31, 2006, with an annual facility fee based on the
credit rating of the Operating Partnerships senior
unsecured long-term debt. The credit agreement contains
affirmative covenants, including financial reporting
requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios by
the Operating Partnership, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on
mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company
and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their
financial covenants under this revolving credit agreement at
March 31, 2006. 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, 2006, the outstanding balance on this facility
was approximately $123.9 million.
As of March 31, 2006, the scheduled maturities of the

Minority Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures and
Preferred Units |
Minority interests in the Company represent the limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, limited
partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P. and
interests held by certain third parties in several real estate
joint ventures, aggregating approximately 43.8 million
square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting
purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company
exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such
as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset
management, investment activity and changes in financing. These
joint venture investments do not meet the

No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite
lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of
March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate
book value of the minority interests in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets was approximately
$899.6 million and $853.6 million, respectively, and
the Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of
these interests were approximately $1.3 billion and
$1.2 billion, respectively. However, there can be no
assurance that the aggregate settlement value of the interests
will be as such. The aggregate settlement value is based on the
estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and
the resulting proceeds that the Company would distribute to its
joint venture partners upon dissolution, as required under the
terms of the respective partnership 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 partnership
agreements do not limit the amount that the minority partners
would be entitled to in the event of liquidation of the assets
and liabilities and dissolution of the respective partnerships.
Effective January 27, 2006, Robert Pattillo Properties,
Inc. exercised its rights under its Put Agreement, dated
September 24, 2004, with the Operating Partnership, and
sold all 729,582 of its 5.00% Series N Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units in one of the
Companys subsidiaries, AMB Property II, L.P., to the
Operating Partnership for an aggregate price of
$36.6 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.
Also on January 27, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P.
repurchased all of the 5.00% Series N Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Limited Partnership Units from the Operating
Partnership for an aggregate price of $36.6 million and
cancelled all of the outstanding series N preferred units
as of such date.
On March 21, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., repurchased
all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single
institutional investor for an aggregate price of
$42.8 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.
In addition, the Company

On December 31, 2004, the Company formed AMB-SGP Mexico,
LLC, a joint venture with Industrial (Mexico) JV Pte Ltd, a real
estate investment subsidiary of the Government of Singapore
Investment Corporation, in which the Company retained a 20%
interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the
Company recognized a gain of $1.3 million from disposition
of real estate interests, representing the additional value
received from the contribution of properties to AMB-SGP Mexico,
LLC.
On June 30, 2005, the Company formed AMB Japan Fund I,
L.P., a joint venture with 13 institutional investors, in which
the Company retained an approximate 20% interest. The 13
institutional investors have committed 49.5 billion Yen
($420 million U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at
March 31, 2006) for an approximate 80% equity interest. The
Company contributed $106.9 million (using exchange rate in
effect at contribution) in operating properties, consisting of
six industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
0.9 million square feet, to this fund.
Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, the Company
and the other parties to the joint ventures may be required to
make additional capital contributions and, subject to certain
limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt.
The Company also has a 0.1% unconsolidated equity interest (with
an approximate 33% economic interest) in AMB Pier One, LLC, a
joint venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier
which houses the Companys office space in
San Francisco. The investment is not consolidated because
the Company does not exercise control over major operating
decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property
managers, investment activity and changes in financing. The
Company has an option to purchase the remaining equity interest
beginning January 1, 2007 and expiring December 31,
2009, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the
operating agreement. As of March 31, 2006, the Company also
had an approximate 39.0% unconsolidated equity interest in
G.Accion, a Mexican real estate company. G.Accion provides
management and development services for industrial, retail,
residential and office properties in Mexico. In addition, as of
March 31, 2006, the Company also had an approximate 5%
interest in IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a
Canadian income trust specializing in aviation-related real
estate at Canadas leading international airports. This
equity investment is included in other assets on the
consolidated balance sheets.

Property II, L.P. repurchased all of such units from the
Operating Partnership. |
In December 2005, AMB Property Corporations board of
directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase
program for the discretionary repurchase of up to
$200.0 million of its common stock. AMB Property
Corporation did not repurchase or retire any of its shares of
common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
The Companys only dilutive securities outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were stock
options and shares of restricted stock granted under its stock
incentive plans. The effect on income per share was to increase
weighted average shares outstanding. Such dilution was computed
using the treasury stock method. The computation of basic and

The Company operates industrial properties and manages its
business by geographic markets. Such industrial properties
consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable
for single or multiple customers, and are typically comprised of
multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in
various types of businesses. The Companys geographic
markets for industrial properties are managed separately because
each market requires different operating, pricing and leasing
strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon property
net operating income of the combined properties in each segment.
The other U.S. target markets category includes Austin,
Baltimore/ Washington D.C., Boston and Minneapolis. The other
U.S. non-target markets category captures all of the
Companys other U.S. markets, except for those markets
listed individually in the table. The international target
markets category includes China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico
and the Netherlands.

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

Commitments and Contingencies |
Lease Commitments. The Company holds operating ground
leases on land parcels at its on-tarmac facilities, leases on
office spaces for corporate use, and a leasehold interest that
it holds for investment purposes. The remaining lease terms are
from two to 57 years. Operating lease payments are being
amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related
leases or 40 years.
Standby Letters of Credit. As of March 31, 2006, the
Company had provided approximately $35.8 million in letters
of credit, of which $25.4 million was provided under the
Operating Partnerships $500.0 million unsecured
credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be
issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees
and other commitments.
Guarantees. Other than parent guarantees associated with
the unsecured lines of credit, as of March 31, 2006, the
Company had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of
$118.9 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As
of March 31, 2006, the Company guaranteed $24.6 and
$2.3 million on outstanding loans on two of its
consolidated joint ventures and one of its unconsolidated joint
ventures, respectively.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of March 31, 2006,
the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an
aggregate amount of $1.0 million. These bonds were issued
in connection with certain of its development projects and were
posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction
of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such
as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are
commonly required by public agencies from real estate
developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and
expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of
the improvements and infrastructure.
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.
Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the
occurrence of certain events, the Company may be obligated to
make payments to certain of joint venture partners pursuant to
the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with
the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal
course of the Companys business, the Company enters into
various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to
make payments or perform other obligations upon the occurrence
of certain events.
Contingencies
Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time
to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating
to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management
does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may
ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its
properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.
The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with
respect to the properties that would have a material adverse
effect on the Companys business, assets or results of
operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a
material environmental liability does not exist. The existence
of any such material environmental liability would have an
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and
cash flow. The Company carries environmental insurance and
believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and
deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the
circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such
coverage and current industry practice.
General Uninsured Losses. The Company carries property
and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism insurance. The
Company believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and
deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the
circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such
coverage and current industry practice. In addition, certain of
the Companys properties are located in areas that are
subject to
23
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
earthquake activity; therefore, the Company has obtained limited
earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however,
certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts
of war that may be either uninsurable or not economically
insurable. Although the Company has obtained coverage for
certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and
insured limits that it believes are commercially reasonable,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
collect under such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the
Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits
and cash flows from, a property.
Various properties that the Company owns or leases in New
Orleans, Louisiana and South Florida suffered damage in 2005 as
a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Although the Company
expects that its insurance will cover losses arising from this
damage in excess of the industry standard deductibles paid by
the Company, there can be no assurance the Company will be
reimbursed for all losses incurred. Management is not aware of
circumstances associated with these losses that would have a
material adverse effect on the Companys business, assets,
or results from operations.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, the Company
formed a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National
Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance
coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible
under the Companys third-party policies. The Company
capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory
requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on
projections derived from the past loss experience at the
Companys properties. Annually, the Company engages an
independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of
future projected claims, related deductibles and projected
expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs.
Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate.
Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that
if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are
less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the
property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers)
and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses,
including losses, deductibles and reserves, are greater than
premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As
with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and
actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent
year. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has
more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost
than would otherwise be available in the market.

Stock Incentive Plans |
Stock Incentive Plans. The Company has Stock Option and
Incentive Plans (Stock Incentive Plans) for the
purpose of attracting and retaining eligible officers, directors
and employees. The Company has reserved for issuance
18,950,000 shares of common stock under its Stock Incentive
Plans. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had 7,738,877
non-qualified options outstanding granted to certain directors,
officers and employees. Each option is exchangeable for one
share of the Companys common stock. Each options
exercise price is equal to the Companys market price on
the date of grant. The options have an original ten-year term
and generally vest pro rata in annual installments over a three
to five-year period from the date of grant.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R Share Based Payment on
January 1, 2006. The Company opted to utilize the modified
prospective method of transition in adopting SFAS 123R. The
effect of this change from applying the original expense
recognition provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, had an immaterial effect on income
before minority interests and discontinued operations, income
from continuing operations, net income and earnings per share.
The effect of this change from applying the original provisions
of SFAS 123 had no effect on cash flow from operating and
financing activities. The Company recorded a cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle in the amount of
$0.2 million as of March 31, 2006 to reflect the
change in accounting for forfeitures. The Company values stock
options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and
recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods.
Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is
applied to all options granted after the beginning of the
24

STATEMENTS (Continued)
year of adoption. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R,
the Company will recognize the associated expense over the three
to five-year vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R,
related stock option expense was $2.1 million and
$2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company awards
restricted stock and recognizes this value as an expense over
the vesting periods. Related restricted stock compensation
expense was $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The expense is included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of
March 31, 2006, the Company had $7.5 million of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options
granted under the Stock Incentive Plans which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
Results for prior periods have not been restated.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006,
the Companys income before income taxes and net income for
the three months ended March 31, 2006, is $0.4 million
higher than if the Company had continued to account for
share-based compensation under the original provisions of
SFAS 123. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 would have remained at
$0.27 and $0.26, respectively, if the Company had not adopted
SFAS 123R, compared to reported basic and diluted earnings
per share of $0.27 and $0.26, respectively.
SFAS 123R requires the cash flows resulting from tax
benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the
compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax
benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company
does not have any such excess tax benefits.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company
uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee
termination within the valuation model. Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatility of the Companys stock.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the
option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of the grant. The following assumptions are used for
grants during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively: dividend yields of 3.5% and 4.5%; expected
volatility of 17.9% and 17.5%; risk-free interest rates of 4.6%
and 3.8%; and expected lives of six and seven years,
respectively. Following is a summary of the option activity for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
As of March 31, 2006, there was $32.3 million of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based
compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.1 years. The total fair value of shares vested, based on
the market price on the vesting date, during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $9.3 million and
$8.2 million, respectively.
Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company applied APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and related interpretations in accounting for
its Stock Incentive Plan. Opinion 25 measures compensation cost
using the intrinsic value based method of accounting. Under this
method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the stock at the date of grant over the amount
an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Accordingly, no
compensation cost had been recognized for the Companys
Stock Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2001. Had
compensation cost for the Companys stock-based
compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at
the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123, the Companys pro forma
net income available to common stockholders would have been
reduced by $0.2 million and pro forma basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been $0.54 and $0.52,
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
Some of the information included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the
safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
there are important factors that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements, and you should not rely on the forward-looking
statements as predictions of future events. The events or
circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not
occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as believes,
expects, may, will,
should, seeks,
approximately, intends,
plans, pro forma, estimates
or anticipates, or the negative of these words and
phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify
forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or
intentions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as
guarantees of future performance or results, and will not
necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at
which, such performance or results will be achieved. There is no
assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in
forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on
assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise
and we may not be able to realize them.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and future events to differ materially from those set
forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions or in the real estate
sector; |
|
|
|
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers or renewal
at lower than expected rent; |
|
|
|
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in
effecting acquisitions on advantageous terms and the failure of
acquisitions to perform as we expect; |
|
|
|
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and
renovation (including construction delays, cost overruns, our
inability to obtain necessary permits and financing and public
opposition to these activities); |
|
|
|
risks of doing business internationally, including
unfamiliarity with new markets and currency risks; |
|
|
|
a downturn in the U.S., California or the global economy or
real estate conditions; |
|
|
|
losses in excess of our insurance coverage; |
|
|
|
our failure to divest of properties on advantageous terms or
to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures; |
|
|
|
unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired
properties or otherwise; |
|
|
|
risks associated with using debt to fund acquisitions and
development, including re-financing risks; |
|
|
|
our failure to obtain necessary financing; |
|
|
|
changes in local, state and federal regulatory
requirements; |
|
|
|
increases in real property tax rates; |
|
|
|
increases in interest rates and operating costs or greater
than expected capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
environmental uncertainties; and |
|
|
|
our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. |
Our success also depends upon economic trends generally,
various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk
factors discussed under the heading Risk Factors and
elsewhere in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005. We caution you not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our
analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of
the dates
28
indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking
statements, including those set up in this report, are qualified
in their entirety by this statement. We assume no obligation to
update or supplement forward-looking statements.

GENERAL
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate
company effective with the completion of our initial public
offering on November 26, 1997, and elected to be taxed as a
real estate investment trust under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with our
initial tax return for the year ended December 31, 1997.
AMB Property Corporation and AMB Property, L.P. were
formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public
offering.
Managements Overview
The primary source of our revenue and earnings is rent received
from customers under long-term (generally three to ten years)
operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements
from customers for certain operating costs, and from partnership
distributions and fees from our private capital business. We
also produce earnings from the strategic disposition of
operating assets, from the disposition of projects in our
development-for-sale or contribution program and from
contributions of properties to our co-investment joint ventures.
Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to maintain and
increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our
properties, and by our ability to continue to acquire and
develop new properties.
National industrial markets continued to improve during the
first quarter of 2006. According to Torto Wheaton Research, the
positive trend in demand began in the second quarter of 2004 and
reversed 14 prior quarters of negatively trending, or rising,
space availability. We believe the protracted period of rising
availability created a difficult national leasing environment
which is now improving, particularly in large industrial
property markets tied to global trade. During the
three-and-a-half year period of negatively trending industrial
space availability, investor demand for industrial property (as
supported by our observation of strong national sales volumes
and declining acquisition capitalization rates) remained
consistently strong. We believe we capitalized on the demand for
acquisition property by accelerating the repositioning of our
portfolio through the disposition of non-core properties. We
plan to continue selling selected assets on an opportunistic
basis or that no longer fit our strategic investment objectives,
but believe we have substantially achieved our repositioning
goals.

Our industrial operating portfolio occupancy rate was 94.7% at
March 31, 2006, which includes vacancies at properties
acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2006, as
compared to 95.8% at December 31, 2005, and 95.1% at
March 31, 2005. The acquired vacancy accounted for
35 basis points of the decline in occupancy during the
first quarter of 2006. Rental rates on industrial renewals and
rollovers in our portfolio decreased 11.5% during the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, as compared to declines of 4.3% in
the prior quarter and 8.6% in the first quarter of 2005. These
rental rate declines occurred as leases were entered into or
renewed at rates consistent with what we believe to be current
market levels. We believe this decline in rents on lease
renewals and rollovers is largely concentrated in the
San Francisco Bay Area, where approximately half of the
square feet that renewed or rolled in the first quarter of 2006
was in leases that commenced between 1999 and 2001 when rental
rates were at their prior peaks in most of our markets. Without
the effect of the San Francisco portfolio, the decline in
rents on lease renewals and rollover was 3.3% during this
quarter, which we believe reflects the improving trends in
national industrial space availability. We believe that
relatively high levels of national industrial space availability
caused market rents for industrial properties to decline on
average between 10% and 15% from their peak levels in 2001 to
2005 based on our research data. We believe market rental rates
are growing in a number of our markets. Occupancy levels in our
portfolio were 460 basis points in excess of the national
industrial market, as determined by Torto Wheaton Research, by
pricing lease renewals and new leases with sensitivity to local
market conditions. During periods of decreasing or stabilizing
rental rates, we strove to sign leases with shorter terms to
prevent locking in lower rent levels for long periods and to be
prepared to sign new, longer-term leases during periods of
growing rental rates. When we sign leases of shorter duration,
we attempt to limit overall leasing costs and capital
expenditures by offering different grades of tenant improvement
packages, appropriate to the lease term.
We expect development to be a significant driver of our earnings
growth as we expand our land and development pipeline, and
contribute completed development projects into our
co-investment program
and recognize development profits. We believe that development,
renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality
industrial properties should generally continue to provide us
with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of
return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing
properties. We believe that our development opportunities in
Mexico and Japan are particularly attractive given the current
lack of supply of modern industrial distribution facilities in
the major metropolitan markets of these countries. Prior to our
global expansion, our development pipeline was
$106.8 million at the end of 2002. During our global
30
expansion, we have increased our development pipeline to
approximately $1.0 billion at March 31, 2006. In
addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total
of 1,433 acres for future development or sale. We believe
these 1,433 acres of land could support approximately
25.0 million square feet of future development.
Going forward, we believe that our
co-investment program
with private-capital investors will continue to serve as a
significant source of revenues and capital for acquisitions.
Through these
co-investment joint
ventures, we typically earn acquisition and development fees,
asset management fees and priority distributions, as well as
promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the
performance of the
co-investment joint
ventures; however, we can not assure you that we will continue
to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our
co-investment joint
ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our
development pipeline. As of March 31, 2006, we owned
approximately 56.9 million square feet of our properties
(47.7% of the total operating and development portfolio) through
our consolidated and unconsolidated
co-investment joint
ventures. We may make additional investments through these
co-investment joint
ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan
to do so.
By the end of 2007, we expect to have approximately 15% of our
operating portfolio (based on consolidated and unconsolidated
annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of
March 31, 2006, our international operating properties
comprised 4.5% of our consolidated annualized base rent. When
international operating properties owned in unconsolidated joint
ventures are included, our annualized base rents from
international investments increases to 7.4%. Our North American
target markets outside of the United States currently comprise
Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey and Toronto. Our European
target markets currently comprise Amsterdam, Brussels,
Frankfurt, Hamburg, London, Lyon, Madrid, Milan and Paris. Our
Asian target markets currently include Beijing, Busan, Nagoya,
Osaka, the Pearl River Delta, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and
Tokyo. We expect to add additional target markets outside the
United States in the future.
To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust,
we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually
at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely
on retained earnings to fund our
on-going operations to
the same extent that other corporations that are not real estate
investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both
the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs,
acquisitions and developments. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources for a complete discussion of the sources of our
capital.

Critical Accounting Policies
In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain
critical accounting policies. Except for SFAS 123R
discussed below, there have been no material changes in our
significant accounting policies, which are included in the notes
to our audited financial statements included in our Annual
Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. The Company adopted
SFAS 123R Share Based Payment on January 1,
2006. The Company opted to utilize the modified prospective
method of transition in adopting SFAS 123R. The effect of
this change from applying the original expense recognition
provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, had an immaterial effect on income before minority
interests and discontinued operations, income from continuing
operations, net income and earnings per share, as described in
further detail in Note 13 to the consolidated financial
statements. The effect of this change from applying the original
provisions of SFAS 123 had no effect on cash flow from
operating and financing activities. The Company recorded a
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the
amount of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2006 to reflect
the change in accounting for forfeitures. The Company values
stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and
recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting periods.
Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is
applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year
of adoption. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the
Company will recognize the associated expense over the three to
five-year vesting periods. Under SFAS No. 123R,
related stock option expense was $2.1 million and
$2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively. Additionally, the Company awards
restricted stock and recognizes this value as an expense over
the vesting periods. Related restricted stock compensation
expense was $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The expense is included in general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Results for prior periods have not been restated.
THE COMPANY
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, acquires,
develops and operates industrial properties in key distribution
markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We use the
terms industrial properties or industrial
buildings to describe various types of industrial
properties in our portfolio and use
32
these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics
facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities,
centers or warehouses; High Throughput
Distribution®
(HTD®)
facilities; or any combination of these terms.
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate
company effective with the completion of our initial public
offering on November 26, 1997. Our strategy focuses on
providing properties for customers who value the efficient
movement of goods in the worlds busiest distribution
markets: large, supply-constrained locations with proximity to
airports, seaports and major highway systems. As of
March 31, 2006, we owned or had investments in, on a
consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, or
managed buildings, properties and development projects expected
to total approximately 119.2 million rentable square feet
(11.1 million square meters) and 1,094 buildings in
42 markets within eleven countries.
Of the approximately 119.2 million rentable square feet as
of March 31, 2006:
|
|
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, we owned or partially owned 907
industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution
facilities, encompassing approximately 89.8 million
rentable square feet that were 94.7% leased; |
|
|
|
we managed, but did not have an ownership interest in,
industrial and other properties, totaling approximately
1.5 million rentable square feet; |
|
|
|
through unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 85
industrial operating properties, totaling approximately
12.8 million rentable square feet, and two industrial
development projects, expected to total approximately
0.3 million rentable square feet; |
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, we had investments in 45 industrial
development projects which are expected to total approximately
12.4 million rentable square feet upon completion; and |
|
|
|
on a consolidated basis, we owned six development projects, with
a total estimated investment of approximately
$293.1 million and approximately 2.4 million rentable
square feet, that was available for sale or contribution. |
We operate our business through our subsidiary,
AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which
we refer to as the operating partnership. As of
March 31, 2006, we owned an approximate 95.3% general
partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding
preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating
partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete
responsibility for and discretion in its
day-to-day management
and control.
Our strategy is to become a leading provider of industrial
properties in supply-constrained submarkets located near key
international passenger and cargo airports, highway systems and
seaports in major metropolitan areas of North America, Europe
and Asia. These submarkets are generally tied to global trade.
Our investment strategy generally targets customers whose
businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the
World Trade Organization, has grown more than three times the
world gross domestic product growth rate during the last
20 years. To serve the facilities needs of these customers,
we seek to invest in major distribution markets, transportation
hubs and gateways, both in the U.S. and internationally. Our
investment strategy targets markets that are generally
characterized by large population densities and typically offer
substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of
distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When
measured by total consolidated and unconsolidated annualized
base rents, 94.7% of our portfolio of industrial properties is
located in our target markets, and much of it in
in-fill submarkets
within our target markets.
In-fill locations are
characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land
for competing projects as well as physical, political or
economic barriers to new development.
Further, we focus on
HTD®
facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid
distribution of our customers products rather than storage
of goods. Our investment focus on
HTD®
assets is based on what we believe to be a global trend toward
lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains.
HTD®
facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics
that allow for the rapid transport of goods from
point-to-point. These
physical characteristics could include numerous dock doors,
shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and
more space for trailer parking. We believe that these building
characteristics
33
represent an important success factor for time-sensitive
customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding
companies, and that these facilities function best when located
in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such
as major airports and seaports.
We are self-administered and self-managed and expect that we
have qualified and will continue to qualify as a real estate
investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with
the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered
and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees
perform our corporate administrative and management functions,
rather than our relying on an outside manager for these
services. We manage our portfolio of properties in a flexible
operating model which includes both direct property management
and Strategic Alliance
Programs®
in which we have established relationships with third-party real
estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide
property-level administrative and management services under our
direction.
Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1,
Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone
number is
(415) 394-9000. We
maintain regional offices in Amsterdam, Boston, Chicago, Los
Angeles, New Jersey, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo and Vancouver.
As of March 31, 2006, we employed 321 individuals: 160 in
our San Francisco headquarters, 64 in our Boston office and
the remainder in our other regional offices. Our website address
is www.amb.com. Our annual report on
Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q, current
reports on
Form 8-K and any
amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 are available on our website free of charge as soon as
reasonably practicable after we electronically file such
material with, or furnish it to, the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Information contained on our website is not
and should not be deemed a part of this report or any other
report or filing filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Operating Strategy
We base our operating strategy on a variety of operational and
service offerings, including
in-house acquisitions,
development, redevelopment, asset management, property
management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research.
Our strategy is to leverage our expertise across a large
customer base, and complement our internal management resources
with long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real
estate management and development firms in our target markets.
We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business
and best operated by local teams in each market comprised of AMB
employees, local alliance partners or both. We intend to
continue to increase utilization of internal management
resources in target markets to achieve both operating
efficiencies and to expose our customers to the broadening array
of AMB service offerings, including access to multiple locations
worldwide and
build-to-suit
developments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly
or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies,
negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of
property improvements.
Growth Strategies
|
|
|
Growth Through Operations |
We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent
increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space by
working to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and
to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale
inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global
portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2006,
our average industrial property base rental rates decreased by
11.5% from the rent in place at expiration for that space on
leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount
excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage
rents and straight-line rents. Since 2001, as the industrial
property market weakened, we have focused on maintaining
occupancy levels. During the three months ended March 31,
2006, cash-basis same-store net operating income (rental
revenues less property operating expenses and real estate taxes
for properties included in the same-store pool, which is set
annually and excludes properties purchased or developments
stabilized after December 31, 2004) increased by 0.3%
on our industrial properties. Since our initial public offering
in November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases
in industrial property base rental rates of 4.4% and maintained
an
34
average quarter-end occupancy of 94.9% in our industrial
property operating portfolio. While we believe that it is
important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past
results are not necessarily an indication of future performance.
See Supplemental Earnings Measures under this Item
for a discussion of net operating income and Part I,
Item 1: Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for detailed segment information,
including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment
in each segment and total assets.
|
|
|
Growth Through Development |
We believe that development, redevelopment and expansion of
well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue
to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a
higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of
existing properties. We believe we have the
in-house expertise to
create value both through new construction and acquisition and
management of value-added properties. Value-added conversion
projects represent the redevelopment of land or a building site
for a more valuable use and may include such activities as
rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. Both new
development and value-added conversions require significant
management attention and capital investment to maximize their
return. Completed development properties may be held in our
portfolio, sold to third parties or contributed to our
co-investment joint
ventures. We believe our global market presence and expertise
will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a
diverse range of development opportunities.
We believe that the multidisciplinary backgrounds of our
employees should provide us with the skills and experience to
capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development
opportunities. Many of our officers have specific experience in
real estate development, both with us and with national
development firms, and over the past two years, we have expanded
our development staff. We pursue development projects directly
and in joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to
pursue development projects independently or in partnerships,
depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.
|
|
|
Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital
Redeployment |
We believe that our acquisition experience and our network of
property management, leasing and acquisition resources will
continue to provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our
internal resources, we have long-term relationships with
third-party local property management firms, which we believe
may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities, as
such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers.
We believe also that our UPREIT structure enables us to acquire
land and industrial properties in exchange for limited
partnership units in the operating partnership or AMB
Property II, L.P., thereby enhancing our attractiveness to
owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a
tax-deferred basis. Going forward, we believe that
AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., will serve
as our primary source of capital for acquisitions of operating
properties within the United States. In addition, we seek to
redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that
better fit our current investment focus.
We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a
number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include
acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, large
multi-property portfolios or other real estate companies. We
cannot assure you that we will consummate any of these
transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be
material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital
for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations,
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities, other forms of
secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or
preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating
partnership (including issuances of units in the operating
partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of
properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired
properties and private capital from our
co-investment partners.
|
|
|
Growth Through Global Expansion |
By the end of 2007, we expect to have approximately 15% of our
operating portfolio (based on consolidated and unconsolidated
annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of
March 31, 2006, our international operating properties
comprised 4.5% of our consolidated annualized base rent. When
35
international operating properties owned in unconsolidated joint
ventures are included, our annualized base rents from
international investments increases to 7.4%. Our North American
target markets outside of the United States currently comprise
Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey and Toronto. Our European
target markets currently comprise Amsterdam, Brussels,
Frankfurt, Hamburg, London, Lyon, Madrid, Milan and Paris. Our
Asian target markets currently include Beijing, Busan, Nagoya,
Osaka, the Pearl River Delta, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and
Tokyo. We expect to add additional target markets outside the
United States in the future.
We believe that expansion into international target markets
represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in
industrial property markets with high population densities,
close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor
pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our
international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the
U.S. on supply-constrained submarkets with political,
economic or physical constraints to new development. Our
international investments extend our offering of
HTD®
facilities for customers who value
speed-to-market over
storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose
business is derived from global trade. In addition, our
investments target major consumer distribution markets and
customers. We believe that our established customer
relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics
industries, our underwriting of markets and investments and our
strategic alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers
will assist us in competing internationally. For a discussion of
the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and
international markets, please see Part I, Item 1:
Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
|
|
|
Growth Through
Co-Investments |
We co-invest in
properties with private capital investors through partnerships,
limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our
co-investment joint
ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically
operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our
other operations. Typically, we will own a
20-50% interest in
our co-investment joint
ventures. We believe that our
co-investment program
will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions
and developments; however, we cannot assure you that it will
continue to do so. In addition, our
co-investment joint
ventures typically allow us to earn acquisition and development
fees, asset management fees or priority distributions, as well
as promoted interests or incentive distributions based on the
performance of the
co-investment joint
ventures. As of March 31, 2006, we owned approximately
56.9 million square feet of our properties (47.7% of the
total operating and development portfolio) through our
consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store
growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures.
Same store properties are those that we owned during both the
current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development
properties stabilized after December 31, 2004 (generally
defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for
which we have held a certificate of occupancy or where building
has been substantially complete for at least 12 months).
As of March 31, 2006, same store industrial properties
consisted of properties aggregating approximately
79.7 million square feet. The properties acquired during
the three months ended March 31, 2006 consisted of
32 buildings, aggregating approximately 2.1 million
square feet. The properties acquired during the three months
ended March 31, 2005 consisted of six buildings,
aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet. During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, property
divestitures consisted of three buildings, aggregating
approximately 0.3 million square feet. During the three
months ended March 31, 2005, property divestitures
consisted of 24 industrial buildings, aggregating
approximately 1.5 million square feet.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues increased
$0.5 million from the prior year on a
quarter-to-date basis.
The properties acquired during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 consisted of 41 buildings, aggregating
approximately 6.9 million square feet. The properties
acquired during the first quarter of 2006 consisted of 32
buildings, aggregating approximately 2.1 million square
feet. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from
development projects that have reached certain levels of
operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool
of properties. In 2005 and 2006, we continued to acquire
properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the
Netherlands, resulting in increased international revenues. The
increase in private capital income of $1.8 million was
primarily due to increased asset management fees from additional
assets held in
co-investment joint
ventures.

Same store properties operating expenses showed an
increase of $1.6 million from the prior year on a
quarter-to-date basis
due primarily to increased real estate taxes, insurance and
non-reimbursable costs. The properties acquired during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of
41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million
square feet. The properties acquired during the first quarter of
2006 consisted of 32 buildings, aggregating approximately
2.1 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include
expenses from development properties that have reached certain
levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store
operating pool of properties. In 2005 and 2006, we continued to
acquire properties in China, France, Germany,
37
Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased
international operating costs. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense was due to the increase in our net
investment in real estate. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was primarily due to additional staffing
and expenses for new initiatives, including our international
and development expansions and increased occupancy costs due to
the expansion of satellite offices. Fund costs represent general
and administrative costs paid to third parties associated with
our co-investment joint
ventures.

The $0.9 million increase in equity in earnings of
unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily due to a gain from
the disposition of real estate by one of our unconsolidated
joint ventures during the quarter. The $3.0 million
increase in other income was primarily due to an increase in
bank interest income and dividend income related to two of our
investments. Development profits represent gains from the sale
of development projects and land as part of our
development-for-sale
program. The decrease in development profits was due to
decreased disposition volume during the three months ended
March 31, 2006. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we sold one land parcel for an aggregate
price of $4.7 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
$0.7 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2005, we sold two land parcels and a 24,000 square foot
development project, for an aggregate price of
$42.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
$17.9 million. The increase in interest expense, including
amortization, was due primarily to increased borrowings on
unsecured credit facilities and other debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we divested
ourselves of three industrial buildings, aggregating
approximately 0.3 million square feet for
$14.7 million, with a resulting net gain of approximately
$7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31,
2005, we divested ourselves of 24 industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 1.5 million square feet for
$142.1 million, with a resulting net gain of approximately
$27.9 million.

In December 2005, we issued 3,000,000 shares of 7.0%
Series O Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The
increase in preferred stock dividends is due to the newly-issued
shares. In addition, during March 2006, AMB Property II,
L.P., one of our subsidiaries, redeemed all 840,000 of its
outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Partnership Units and we recognized a reduction of income
available to common stockholders of $1.1 million for the
original issuance costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use unsecured
lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common
equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its
subsidiaries) to capitalize our 100%-owned assets. Over time, we
plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our
100%-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes. In
managing our
co-investment joint
ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to
capitalize our
co-investment joint
ventures.
We currently expect that our principal sources of working
capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and
renovation of properties will include:
|
|
|
|
|
retained earnings and cash flow from operations; |
|
|
|
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities; |
|
|
|
other forms of secured or unsecured financing; |
|
|
|
proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating
partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units in
the operating partnership or its subsidiaries); |
|
|
|
net proceeds from divestitures of properties; |
|
|
|
private capital from
co-investment
partners; and |
|
|
|
net proceeds from contribution of properties and completed
development projects to our
co-investment joint
ventures. |
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will
include:
|
|
|
|
|
working capital; |
|
|
|
development, expansion and renovation of properties; |
|
|
|
acquisitions, including our global expansion; |
|
|
|
debt service; and |
|
|
|
dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred
stock and limited partnership units. |
Cash flows. For the three months ended March 31,
2006, cash provided by operating activities was
$52.1 million as compared to $47.6 million for the
same period in 2005. This change is primarily due to increases
in rental rates, partially offset by an increase in general and
administrative expenses primarily due to additional staffing and
expenses for new initiatives, including our international and
development expansions and increased occupancy costs related to
the expansion of satellite offices. Cash used in investing
activities was $309.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, as compared to cash used for investing
activities of $72.5 million for the same period in 2005.
This change is primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from real
estate divestitures and an increase in funds used for property
acquisitions, offset by less funds used for additions to
interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by
financing activities was $165.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to
$85.1 million for the same period in 2005. This change is
due primarily to an increase in borrowings, net of repayments,
offset by the cost of the repurchase of preferred units during
the three months ended March 31, 2006.
We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our
cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our
unsecured credit facilities and our ability to access private
and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet
our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. The
unavailability of capital could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay
dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
Capital Resources
Dispositions of Real Estate Interests. For the three
months ended March 31, 2006, we did not initiate any such
sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we
recognized a gain of $1.3 million from
39
disposition of real estate interests, representing the
additional value received from the contribution of properties in
2004 to AMB-SGP Mexico,
LLC.
Property Divestitures. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we divested ourselves of three industrial
buildings aggregating approximately 0.3 million square
feet, for an aggregate price of $14.7 million, with a
resulting net gain of $0.7 million.
Development Sales and Contributions. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006, we sold one land parcel for
$4.7 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
$0.7 million.
Properties Held for Contribution. During the three months
ended March 31, 2006, we held for contribution to a
co-investment joint
venture five industrial buildings with an aggregate net book
value of $266.3 million, which, when contributed to the
joint venture, will reduce our current ownership interest from
approximately 100% to an expected range of
20-50%. These assets
are not being held for divestiture under SFAS No. 144.
Properties Held for Divestiture. During the three months
ended March 31, 2006, we held for divestiture four
industrial buildings, which are not in our core markets, do not
meet our current strategic objectives or which we have included
as part of our
development-for-sale
program. The divestitures of the properties are subject to
negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the net
carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was
$31.2 million. Expected net sales proceeds exceed the net
carrying value of the properties.
Co-investment Joint
Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into
co-investment joint
ventures with institutional investors. These
co-investment joint
ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us
with an additional source of capital to fund certain
acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as
well as private capital income. We generally
consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting
purposes because they are not variable interest entities and
because we are the sole managing general partner and control all
major operating decisions. However, in certain cases, our
co-investment joint ventures are unconsolidated because we do
not control all major operating decisions.
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected
as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2006, we owned approximately
56.9 million square feet of our properties (47.7% of the
total operating and development portfolio) through our
consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We may make
additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint
ventures in the future and presently plan to do so. Our
consolidated co-investment joint ventures at March 31, 2006

Common and Preferred Equity. We have authorized for
issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which
the following series were designated as of March 31, 2006:
1,595,337 shares of series D preferred;
220,440 shares of series E cumulative redeemable
preferred; 267,439 shares of series F cumulative
redeemable preferred; 510,000 shares of series I
cumulative redeemable preferred; 800,000 shares of
series J cumulative redeemable preferred;
800,000 shares of series K cumulative redeemable

redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding;
2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable
preferred, all of which are outstanding, and
3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable
preferred, all of which are outstanding.
On September 24, 2004, AMB Property II, L.P., a
partnership in which Texas AMB I, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and our indirect subsidiary, owns an
approximate 1.0% general partnership interest and the operating
partnership owns an approximate 99% common limited partnership
interest, issued 729,582 5.0% Series N Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of
$50.00 per unit. The series N preferred units were
issued to Robert Pattillo Properties, Inc. in exchange for the
contribution of certain parcels of land that are located in
multiple markets to AMB Property II, L.P. Effective
January 27, 2006, Robert Pattillo Properties, Inc.
exercised its rights under its Put Agreement, dated
September 24, 2004, with the operating partnership, and
sold all of its series N preferred units to the operating
partnership for an aggregate price of $36.6 million,
including accrued and unpaid distributions. Also on
January 27, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P. repurchased
all of the series N preferred units from the operating
partnership at an aggregate price of $36.6 million and
cancelled all of the outstanding series N preferred units
as of such date.
On March 21, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., repurchased
all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single
institutional investor for an aggregate price of
$42.8 million, including accrued and unpaid distributions.
In connection with this repurchase, we reclassified all of our
outstanding 840,000 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock as preferred stock.
In December 2005, our board of directors approved a new two-year
common stock repurchase program for the discretionary repurchase
of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. We did not
repurchase or retire any shares of our common stock during the
quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Debt. In order to maintain financial flexibility and
facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we
presently intend to operate with an our share of total
debt-to-our share of
total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less.
As of March 31, 2006, our share of total
debt-to-our share of
total market capitalization ratio was 34.4%. (See
footnote 1 to the Capitalization Ratios table contained in
Part 1, Item 2: Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Liquidity and
41
Capital Resources below for our definitions of our
share of total market capitalization, market
equity and our share of total debt.) However,
we typically finance our consolidated co-investment joint
ventures with secured debt at a
loan-to-value ratio of
50-65% per our joint venture partnership agreements.
Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization
in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior
unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our
organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness
that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or
eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or
circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply
with these policies.
As of March 31, 2006, the aggregate principal amount of our
secured debt was $1.9 billion, excluding unamortized debt
premiums of $11.2 million. Of the $1.9 billion of
secured debt, $1.4 billion is secured by properties in our
joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and
bears interest at rates varying from 0.7% to 10.4% per
annum (with a weighted average rate of 5.7%) and final maturity
dates ranging from October 2006 to January 2025. As of
March 31, 2006, $1.6 billion of the secured debt
obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.1%, while the remaining $293.4 million
bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average
interest rate of 3.4%).
As of March 31, 2006, the operating partnership had
outstanding an aggregate of $962.5 million in unsecured
senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest
rate of 6.3% and had an average term of 5.0 years. These
unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0 million in
notes issued in June 1998, $225.0 million of medium-term
notes, which were issued under the operating partnerships
2000 medium-term note program, $325.0 million of
medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating
partnerships 2002 medium-term note program, and
approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due
2015, which were issued to Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private
placement, in exchange for the cancellation of $100 million
of notes that were issued in June 1998 resulting in a discount
of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt
securities are subject to various covenants.
We guarantee the operating partnerships obligations with
respect to its senior debt securities. If we are unable to
refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay
them with proceeds from other capital transactions, then our
cash flow may be insufficient to pay dividends to our
stockholders in all years and to repay debt upon maturity.
Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at
the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to
make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest
rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to
that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased
interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends
on, and the market price of, our stock.
Credit Facilities. The operating partnership has a senior
unsecured revolving line of credit in the amount of
$500.0 million. We are a guarantor of the operating
partnerships obligations under the credit facility. The
three-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component
under which up to $250.0 million can be drawn in Yen, Euros
or British Pounds Sterling. The line, which matures in June 2007
and carries a one-year extension option, can be increased up to
$700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the
borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the
operating partnerships long-term debt rating, which was
60 basis points as of March 31, 2006, with an annual
facility fee of 20 basis points. The operating partnership
uses its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions,
funding development activity and general working capital
requirements. The total amount available under the credit
facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in
the agreement governing the credit facility, which is generally
based upon the value of our unencumbered properties. As of
March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the credit
facility was $383.4 million and the remaining amount
available was $91.2 million, net of outstanding letters of
credit of $25.4 million. The outstanding balance included
borrowings denominated in Euros and Yen, which, using the
exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2006, would equal
approximately $192.8 million and $30.6 million in
U.S. dollars, respectively.
On June 29, 2004, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of
the operating partnership, entered into an unsecured revolving
credit agreement providing for loans or letters of credit. On
December 8, 2005, the unsecured revolving credit agreement
was amended to increase the maximum principal amount outstanding
at
42
any time to up to 35.0 billion Yen, which, using the
exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2006, equaled
approximately $297.2 million U.S. dollars, and can be
increased to up to 40.0 billion Yen upon certain
conditions. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee
the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the revolving
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 revolving 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. Generally,
borrowers under the revolving credit facility have the option to
secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the revolving
credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in
entities holding such real estate assets. The revolving credit
facility matures in June 2007 and has a one-year extension
option, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of
the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The
rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which
is based on the credit rating of the operating
partnerships long-term debt and was 60 basis points
as of March 31, 2006. 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 20 basis points of the outstanding
commitments under the facility as of March 31, 2006. As of
March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on this credit
facility, using the exchange rate in effect on March 31,
2006, was $226.8 million in U.S. dollars.
On November 24, 2004, AMB Tokai TMK, a Japanese subsidiary
of the operating partnership, entered into a secured
multi-advance project financing, providing for loans in a
maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of up to
20.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect
on March 31, 2006, would equal approximately
$169.8 million U.S. dollars. The financing agreement
is among AMB Tokai TMK, us, the operating partnership, Sumitomo
Mitsui Banking Corporation and a syndicate of banks. We, along
with the operating partnership, jointly and severally guarantee
AMB Tokai TMKs obligations under the financing agreement,
pursuant to a guaranty of payment executed in connection with
the project financing. The financing is secured by a mortgage on
certain real property located in Tokai, Tokyo, Japan, and
matures on October 31, 2006 with a one-year extension
option. The rate on the borrowings will generally be TIBOR plus
a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the operating
partnerships long-term debt and was 60 basis points
per annum as of March 31, 2006, except that AMB Tokai TMK
has purchased from Sumitomo an interest rate swap, which has
fixed the interest rate payable on a principal amount equal to
13.0 billion Yen at 1.32% per annum plus the
applicable margin. In addition, there is an annual commitment
fee based on unused commitments, payable quarterly, which is
based on the credit rating of the operating partnerships
long-term debt, and was 20 basis points of the amount of
unused commitments as of March 31, 2006. The financing
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. In addition, Sumitomo, AMB Tokai TMK and the
operating partnership signed a commitment letter on
November 24, 2004, pursuant to which Sumitomo committed to
purchase bonds that may be issued by AMB Tokai TMK in an amount
between 10.0 billion Yen and 15.0 billion Yen (such
amount to be determined by AMB Tokai TMK). The bonds would be
secured by the AMB Ohta Distribution Center and would generally
accrue interest at a rate of TIBOR plus 1.10% per annum;
because the swap purchased by AMB Tokai TMK from Sumitomo is
coterminous with the maturity date of the proposed bonds, AMB
Tokai TMK will have fixed the interest rate payable on, in
general, a principal amount equal to 13.0 billion Yen at
2.42% per annum. The bonds, if issued, would mature on
October 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2006, the
outstanding balance on this financing agreement was
19.5 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect
on March 31, 2006, equaled approximately
$165.6 million U.S. dollars and is accounted for as
wholly-owned secured debt.
On February 16, 2006, the operating partnership and certain
of its consolidated subsidiaries entered into a third amended
and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million
unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the
then-existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit
facility that was to mature in June 2008. We, along with the
operating partnership, guarantee the obligations for such
subsidiaries and other entities controlled by us or the
Operating Partnership that are selected to be borrowers by the
operating partnership from time to time under and pursuant to
the credit facility. The four-year credit facility includes a
multi-
43
currency component under which up to $250.0 million can be
drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore
dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in
February 2010 and carries a one-year extension option, can be
increased up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and
the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the
outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally
LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the operating
partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt, which was
60 basis points as of March 31, 2006, with an annual
facility fee based on the credit rating of the operating
partnerships senior unsecured long-term debt. 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. 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, 2006, the outstanding balance
on this facility was approximately $123.9 million.

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

Our secured debt and joint venture debt include debt related to
international assets in the amount of $385.6 million. Of
this, $250.5 million is associated with assets located in
Asia and the remaining $135.1 million is related to assets
located in Europe. |

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from
operations, will not allow us to retire all of our debt as it
comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with
net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as
property divestitures. However, we may not be able to obtain
future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to
obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all would
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price
of, our stock.
Developments. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we initiated seven new industrial
development projects in North America and Asia with a total
estimated investment of $218.8 million, aggregating an
estimated 2.9 million square feet. As of March 31,
2006, we had 47 projects in our development pipeline
representing a total estimated investment of $1.0 billion
upon completion, of which two industrial projects with a total
of approximately 0.3 million square feet and an aggregate
estimated investment of $25.8 million upon completion are
held in unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we held six
development projects available for sale or contribution,
representing a total estimated investment of $293.1 million
upon completion. Of the total development pipeline,
$548.1 million had been funded as of March 31, 2006
and an estimated $484.1 million was required to complete
current projects. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash
from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or
equity issuances, net proceeds from property divestitures and
private capital from co-investment partners, which could have an
adverse effect on our cash flow.
Acquisitions. During the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we acquired 32 industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 2.1 million square feet for a
total expected investment of $153.4 million. We generally
fund our acquisitions through private capital contributions,
borrowings under our credit facilities, cash, debt issuances and
net proceeds from property divestitures.
Lease Commitments. We have entered into operating ground
leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities
and office space with remaining lease terms from two to
57 years. These operating lease payments are amortized
ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or
40 years.
Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the operating
partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with
institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are
managed by our private capital group and provide us with an
additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development
projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital
income. As of March 31, 2006, we had investments in
co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of
$2.6 billion, which are consolidated for financial
reporting purposes, and net equity investments in two
unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of
$27.3 million. As of March 31, 2006, we may make
additional capital contributions to current and planned
co-investment joint ventures of up to $135.3 million (using
the exchange rates at March 31, 2006) pursuant to the terms
of the joint venture agreements. From time to time, we may raise
additional equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III, L.P., an open-ended consolidated co-investment
joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which
invests through a private real estate investment trust. This
would increase our obligation to make additional capital
commitments. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement
of this fund, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total
equity commitments to the fund until such time our total equity
commitment is greater than $150.0 million, at which time,
our obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity
commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash
from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or
equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures,
which could adversely effect our cash flow.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, we formed a
wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National
Insurance Ltd., which provides insurance coverage for all or a
portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party
policies. We capitalized Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in
accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. established annual premiums based on
projections derived from the past loss experience of our
properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to
perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims,
related deductibles and
47
projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management
programs. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. may be
adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata
National Insurance Ltd. have a retrospective component, so that
if expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are
less than premiums collected, the excess may be returned to the
property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the
customers). Conversely, subject to certain limitations, if
expenses, including losses, deductibles and reserves, are
greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be
charged. As with all recoverable expenses, differences between
estimated and actual insurance premiums are recognized in the
subsequent year. Through this structure, we believe that we have
more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost
than would otherwise be available in the market.
Potential Unknown Liabilities. Unknown liabilities may
include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
liabilities for
clean-up or remediation
of undisclosed environmental conditions; |
|
|
|
claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our
predecessors prior to our formation or acquisition transactions
that had not been asserted prior to our formation or acquisition
transactions; |
|
|
|
accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business; |
|
|
|
tax liabilities; and |
|
|
|
claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our
predecessors and others indemnified by these entities. |
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Standby Letters of Credit. As of March 31, 2006, we
had provided approximately $35.8 million in letters of
credit, of which $25.4 million was provided under the
operating partnerships $500.0 million unsecured
credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be
issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees
and other commitments.
Guarantees. Other than parent guarantees associated with
the unsecured lines of credit, as of March 31, 2006, we had
outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of
$118.9 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As
of March 31, 2006, we guaranteed $24.6 million and
$2.3 million on outstanding loans on two of our
consolidated joint ventures and one of our unconsolidated joint
ventures, respectively.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of March 31, 2006,
we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate
amount of $1.0 million. These bonds were issued in
connection with certain of our development projects and were
posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction
of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such
as grading, sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are
commonly required by public agencies from real estate
developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and
expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of
the improvements and infrastructure.
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations.
Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the
occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make
payments to certain of our joint venture partners pursuant to
the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with
us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we
enter into various contracts with third parties that may
obligate us to make payments or perform other obligations upon
the occurrence of certain events.
SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES
FFO. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is
the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider
funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), to be a
useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO is
defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less
gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for
investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and
adjustments to derive our pro rata
48
share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of
non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by
NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating
performance because historical cost accounting for real estate
assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value
of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as
reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses.
However, since real estate values have historically risen or
fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors
and analysts have considered presentation of operating results
for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to
be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental
measure of operating performance for real estate investment
trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and
amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by
GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required
GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the
understanding of operating results of real estate investment
trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of
operating results among such companies more meaningful. We
consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our
comparative operating and financial performance because, by
excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously
depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate
depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public
compare the operating performance of a companys real
estate between periods or as compared to other companies.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not
represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those
measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance.
FFO also does not consider the costs associated with capital
expenditures related to our real estate assets nor is FFO
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash
requirements. Further, our computation of FFO may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other real estate investment
trusts that do not define the term in accordance with the
current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than we do.

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

Same store properties are those properties that we owned during
both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding
development properties prior to being stabilized (generally
defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties for
which we have held a certificate of occupancy or building has
been substantially complete for at least 12 months). |

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk |
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our
future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing
market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching
projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing
activities with projected cash outflows for debt service,
acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to
stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The
majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which
minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure
to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection
with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings
and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval,
thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could
adversely affect our cash flows. As of March 31, 2006, we
had three outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate
notional amount of $144.7 million (in U.S. dollars).
The table below summarizes the market risks associated with our
fixed and variable rate debt outstanding before net unamortized
debt discounts of $0.4 million as of March 31, 2006

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased
or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest
expense on the variable rate debt would be $3.7 million
(net of swaps) annually. As of March 31, 2006, the book
value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated
debt (both secured and unsecured) was $3.7 billion based on
our estimate of current market interest rates.
As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, variable rate debt comprised
29.8% and 17.7%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt.
Variable rate debt was $1.1 billion and
$592.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2006 and
2005. The increase is primarily due to higher outstanding
balances on our credit facilities. This increase in our
outstanding variable rate debt increases our risk associated
with unfavorable interest rate fluctuations.
Financial Instruments. We record all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an
offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For
revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies,
we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign
currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial
instruments in effect at March 31, 2006 were three interest
rate swaps hedging cash flows of our variable rate borrowings
based on U.S. Libor (USD), Euribor (Europe) and Japanese
TIBOR (Japan). The following table summarizes our financial
instruments as of March 31, 2006:

International Operations. Our exposure to market risk
also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The
U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries
operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional
currency for our subsidiaries operating outside North America is
generally the local currency of the country in which the entity
is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and
losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into
U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We
translate income statement accounts using the average exchange
rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions
using the rate on the transaction date. The gains resulting from
the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income as a separate component of stockholders equity and
totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated
in currencies other than their functional currency. In these
instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at
the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities
are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the
53
period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the
average exchange rate for the period. For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, gains from remeasurement and the sale of
two foreign exchange agreements included in our results of
operations totaled $0.1 million.
We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a
transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other
than the entitys functional currency, is settled and the
functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than
expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the
transaction was initiated.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our chief executive officer, president and chief
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives, and our management is required
to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have
investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As we do
not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls
and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily
substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect
to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As required by
Rule 13a-15(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of
our management, including our chief executive officer, president
and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that
were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this
report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer,
president and chief financial officer each concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
