EXHIBIT 99.3
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition
and results of operations in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements.
We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the
completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997, and elected to be taxed as a real
estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, with our initial tax return for the year ended December 31, 1997. AMB Property Corporation
and AMB Property, L.P. were formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public offering.
Managements Overview
The primary source of our revenue and earnings is rent received from customers under long-term
(generally three to ten years) operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements from
customers for certain operating costs, and from partnership distributions and fees from our private
capital business. We also produce earnings from the disposition of operating assets that no longer
fit our strategy, from the disposition of projects in our development-for-sale program and from the
contributions of properties to our co-investment joint ventures. Our long-term growth is driven by
our ability to maintain and increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties,
and by our ability to continue to acquire and develop new properties.
National industrial markets continued to improve during 2006 when compared with market
conditions in 2005. According to Torto Wheaton Research, availability dropped 10 basis points in
the fourth quarter of 2006 to 9.4%, and availability for the year dropped 50 basis points. We
believe the strongest industrial markets in the U.S. are the coastal gateway markets tied to global
trade, including Los Angeles, our largest market, Miami, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle,
and to a lesser degree Northern New Jersey/New York (with the exception of the Exit 8A submarket).
While we believe that the broader Chicago market is showing signs of stabilization, certain
submarkets, like the OHare submarket, are relatively strong. We believe Dallas continues to
recover, and Atlanta continues to suffer from a large increase in supply. We believe the operating
environment in our U.S. on-tarmac business remains good with improving cargo volumes and
essentially no new supply.
Investor demand for industrial property (as supported by our observation of strong national
sales volumes and declining acquisition capitalization rates) has remained consistently strong over
the past several years. We believe we capitalized on this demand for industrial property by
accelerating the repositioning of our portfolio, through the disposition of non-core properties,
which was effectively completed in 2006 with our exit from the Charlotte and Memphis markets. We
plan to continue selling selected assets on an opportunistic basis or that no longer fit our
strategic investment objectives, but we believe we have substantially achieved our repositioning
goals.
Occupancy levels in our portfolio continue to outperform the national industrial market, as
determined by Torto Wheaton Research, by pricing lease renewals and new leases with sensitivity to
local market conditions. During the prior periods of decreasing or stabilizing rental rates, we
strove to sign leases with shorter terms to prevent locking in lower rent levels for long periods
and to be prepared to sign new, longer-term leases during periods of growing rental rates. When we
sign leases of shorter duration, we attempt to limit overall leasing costs and capital expenditures
by offering different grades of tenant improvement packages, appropriate to the lease term. In our
stronger markets, we are increasing rents as opposed to occupancy.

operating properties for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

The information for 2005 is presented on a consolidated basis while the information for 2006
is presented on an owned and managed basis. Management believes that the difference in
comparability between the information for 2006 and 2005 is not significant. |
At December 31, 2006, our operating portfolios occupancy rate was 96.1%, on an owned and
managed basis (97.0% on a consolidated basis), an increase from both the prior quarter and December
31, 2005. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 4.1% in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and decreased 0.1% for the full year. 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) grew by 1.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and
2.6% for the full-year 2006, on an owned and managed basis. Excluding lease termination fees, same
store net operating income grew 3.0% and 3.2% in the quarter and for the full year (decreased 0.5%
and increased 1.6%, respectively, on a consolidated basis), respectively, on an owned and managed
basis. See Part II, Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations Supplemental Earnings Measures for a discussion of same store net
operating income and a reconciliation of same store net operating income and net income. We
currently expect that same store growth in our operating portfolio, excluding lease termination
fees, will be about 3% to 4% for 2007, on an owned and managed basis. Market rents continue to
rebound from their lows and in many of our hub and gateway markets are back to or above their prior
peak levels of 2001.
We believe that industrial market rents in the San Francisco Bay Area are improving. While
market rents in the San Francisco Bay Area were up 10% to 15% in 2006, rents still have not yet
fully recovered to normal levels. Rents on lease renewals and rollovers in the San Francisco Bay
Area declined 21.0% in the fourth quarter of 2006 and 13.2% for the full-year 2006, on an owned and
managed basis. Without the effect of the San Francisco Bay Area, rents on renewals and rollovers
for the full-year 2006 would have been 2.0%, on an owned and managed basis, which we believe
reflects the generally positive trends in U.S. industrial space availability.
We expect development to be a significant driver of our earnings growth as we expand our land
and development pipeline, and contribute completed development projects into our co-investment
program and recognize development profits. We believe that development, renovation and expansion of
well-located, high-quality industrial properties should generally continue to provide us with
attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the
purchase of existing properties. We believe that our development opportunities in Mexico, Japan and
China are particularly attractive given the current lack of supply of modern
2
industrial distribution facilities in the major metropolitan markets of these countries. Prior to
our global expansion, our development pipeline was $106.8 million at the end of 2002. As a result
of our global expansion and increased development capabilities, we have increased our development
pipeline to approximately $1.3 billion at December 31, 2006. In addition to our committed
development pipeline, we hold a total of 1,735 acres for future development or sale, of which 92%
is in North America. We believe these 1,735 acres of land could support approximately 30.5 million
square feet of future development.
Going forward, we believe that our co-investment program with private-capital investors will
continue to serve as a significant source of revenues and capital for new investments. Through
these co-investment joint ventures, we typically earn acquisition fees, asset management fees and
priority distributions, as well as promoted interests and incentive distributions based on the
performance of the co-investment joint ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will
continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment joint
ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. As of December 31,
2006, we owned approximately 64.3 million square feet of our properties (51.6% of the total
operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment
joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment joint ventures or
new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.
By the end of 2010, we expect to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating
portfolio invested in non-U.S. markets (based on owned and managed annualized base rent). As of
December 31, 2006, our non-U.S. operating properties comprised 14.1% of our owned and managed
operating portfolio (based on annualized base rent) and 7.4% of our consolidated operating
portfolio (based on annualized base rent). Our North American target countries outside of the
United States currently comprise Canada and Mexico. Our European target countries currently
comprise Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Our Asian
target countries currently comprise China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. We expect to
add additional target countries outside the United States in the future.
To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our
stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. As a result, we cannot rely
on retained earnings to fund our on-going operations to the same extent that other corporations
that are not real estate investment trusts can. We must continue to raise capital in both the debt
and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments. See Liquidity
and Capital Resources for a complete discussion of the sources of our capital.

for a more detailed discussion of our capital markets transactions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities
and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going
basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ
4
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following
critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
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. We also regularly review the impact of above or
below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for all new acquisitions, and
record 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 our long-lived assets could occur
in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired,
the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to
earnings. As a result of leasing activity and the economic environment, we re-evaluated the
carrying value of our investments and recorded impairment charges of $6.3 million during the year
ended December 31, 2006 on certain of our investments.
Revenue Recognition. We record rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis
over the term of the leases and maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. If customers fail to make contractual lease
payments that are greater than our allowance for doubtful accounts, security deposits and letters
of credit, then we may have to recognize additional doubtful account charges in future periods. We
monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of our customers on an on-going basis by reviewing their
financial condition periodically as appropriate. Each period we review our outstanding accounts
receivable, including straight-line rents, for doubtful accounts and provide allowances as needed.
We also record lease termination fees when a customer has executed a definitive termination
agreement with us and the payment of the termination fee is not subject to any conditions that must
be met or waived before the fee is due to us. If a customer remains in the leased space following
the execution of a definitive termination agreement, the applicable termination fees are deferred
and recognized over the term of such customers occupancy.
Property Dispositions. We report real estate dispositions in three separate categories on our
consolidated statements of operations. First, when we divest a portion of our interests in real
estate entities or properties, gains from the sale represent the interests acquired by third-party
investors for cash and are included in gains from disposition of real estate interests in the
statement of operations. Second, we dispose of value-added conversion projects and build-to-suit
and speculative development projects for which we have not generated material operating income
prior to sale. The gain or loss recognized from the disposition of these projects is reported net
of estimated taxes, when applicable, and are included in development profits, net of taxes, in the
statement of operations. Lastly, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, requires us to separately report as
discontinued operations the historical operating results attributable to operating properties sold
and the applicable gain or loss on the disposition of the properties, which is included in gains
from dispositions of real estate, net of minority interests, in the statement of operations. The
consolidated statements of operations for prior periods are also adjusted to conform with this
classification. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated financial position, net
income or cash flows. In all cases, gains and losses are recognized using the full accrual method
of accounting. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the requirements of the full
accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting
criteria are met.
Joint Ventures. We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. We
determine consolidation based on standards set forth in 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 or FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities FIN 46. Based on the guidance set forth in EITF 04-5, we consolidate certain
joint venture investments because we exercise significant control over major operating decisions,
such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity
and changes in financing. For joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined under
FIN 46 where we are not the primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate the joint venture for
financial reporting purposes. For joint ventures under EITF 04-5, where we do not exercise
significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where we exercise
significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting and do not consolidate the joint
venture for financial reporting purposes.
Real Estate Investment Trust. As a real estate investment trust, we generally will not be
subject to corporate level federal income taxes in the U.S. if we meet minimum distribution,
income, asset and shareholder tests. However, some of our subsidiaries may be subject to federal
and state taxes. In addition, foreign entities may also be subject to the taxes of the host
country. An income tax
5
allocation is required to be estimated on our taxable income arising from our taxable real
estate investment trust subsidiaries and international entities. A deferred tax component could
arise based upon the differences in GAAP versus tax income for items such as depreciation and gain
recognition. However, we believe deferred tax is an immaterial component of our consolidated
balance sheet.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective October 1, 2006, we deconsolidated AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., on a
prospective basis, due to the re-evaluation of the accounting for our investment in the fund in
light of changes to the partnership agreement regarding the general partners rights effective
October 1, 2006. As a result, our results of operations presented below are not comparable between
years presented.
The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions,
development activity and divestitures. Same store properties are those that we owned during both
the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties stabilized after
December 31, 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 December 31, 2006, same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating
approximately 71.2 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2006 consisted of 73
buildings, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2005
consisted of 41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. During 2006, property
divestitures and contributions consisted of 50 buildings, aggregating approximately 7.5 million
square feet. In 2005, property divestitures and contributions consisted of 150 buildings,
aggregating approximately 10.6 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of
operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties
and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical results.

U.S. industrial same store revenues increased $12.3 million from the prior year despite the
decrease of $12.8 million in same store revenues due to the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P., effective October 1, 2006, attributable primarily to improved occupancy
and increased rental rates in various markets. The properties acquired during 2005 consisted of 41
buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2006
consisted of 73 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.6 million square feet. Other industrial
revenues include rental revenues from properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated
joint venture, and accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated
financial statements, and development projects that have reached certain levels of operation and
are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. Non-U.S. industrial revenues
increased approximately $29.4 million from the prior year due primarily to the stabilization of
three properties in Japan and the continued acquisition of properties in France, Germany and
Mexico. The increase in private capital income was primarily due to increased asset management and
acquisition fees from additional assets held in co-investment joint ventures, which were partially
offset by a decrease in incentive distributions of approximately $3.9 million. During 2006, we
received incentive distributions of $22.5 million, of which $19.8 million was from AMB Partners II,
L.P., as compared to incentive distribution of $26.4 million for the sale of AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund I, L.P., during 2005.

Same store properties operating expenses increased $6.4 million from the prior year, despite
the decrease of $2.5 million in same store operating expenses due to the deconsolidation of AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., effective October 1, 2006, due
7
primarily to increased insurance costs, utility expenses, repair and maintenance expenses, and
other non-reimbursable expenses. The 2005 acquisitions consisted of 41 buildings, aggregating
approximately 6.9 million square feet. The 2006 acquisitions consisted of 73 buildings, aggregating
approximately 6.6 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested
properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture, and accordingly are not
classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, and development
properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store
operating pool of properties. Non-U.S. industrial revenues increased approximately $6.0 million
from the prior year due primarily to the stabilization of three properties in Japan and the
continued acquisition of properties in France, Germany and Mexico. The increase in depreciation and
amortization expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The 2006
impairment loss was taken on several non-core assets as a result of leasing activities and changes
in the economic environment and the holding period of certain assets. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense as a result
of higher values assigned to option and stock awards and executive departures, additional staffing
and expenses for our international expansion, and the acquisition of AMB Blackpine. Other expenses
decreased approximately $2.4 million from the prior year due primarily to a decrease in losses
associated with our deferred compensation plan and a decrease in certain deal costs. Fund costs
represent general and administrative costs paid to third parties associated with our co-investment
joint ventures.

The $12.4 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was
primarily due to gains of $17.5 million from the disposition of real estate by our unconsolidated
co-investment joint ventures during 2006 as opposed to $5.5 million of such gains during 2005 and,
effective October 1, 2006, and the deconsolidation of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.,
which resulted in an increase of approximately $5.1 million. These increases were partially offset
by an increase in expenses by our unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in other income was
primarily due to increased bank interest income and an increase in property management income due
to the expansion of our property management business. The 2005 gains from disposition of real
estate interests resulted primarily from our contribution of $106.9 million (using the exchange
rate in effect at contribution) in operating properties to our then newly formed unconsolidated
co-investment joint venture, AMB Japan Fund I, L.P. Development profits represent gains from the
sale of development projects and land as part of our development-for-sale program. The increase in
development profits was due to increased disposition and contribution volume during 2006. During
2006, we sold five land parcels and six development projects totaling approximately 1.3 million
square feet for an aggregate sale price of $86.6 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $13.3
million. In addition, during 2006, we received approximately $0.4 million in connection with the
condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the
joint venture partners share. During 2006, we also contributed a total of ten completed
development projects into unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. Four projects totaling
approximately 2.6 million square feet were contributed into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P, two projects
totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet were contributed into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, three
projects totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet were contributed into AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund III, L.P., and one land parcel into AMB DFS Fund I, LLC. As a result of these
contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $94.1 million, representing the portion
of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During
2005, we sold five land parcels and five development projects, aggregating approximately 0.9
million square feet for an aggregate price of $155.2 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of
$45.1 million. In addition, during 2005, we received final proceeds of $7.8 million from a land
sale that occurred in 2004. During 2005, we also contributed one completed development project into
an unconsolidated joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, and recognized an after-tax gain of $1.9
million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the
third-party co-investor for cash. The
increase in interest expense, including amortization, was due primarily to increased
borrowings on unsecured credit facilities and other debt.

During 2006, we divested ourselves of 39 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 3.5
million square feet, for an aggregate price of approximately $175.3 million, with a resulting net
gain of approximately $42.6 million. During 2005, we divested ourselves of 142 industrial buildings
and one retail center, aggregating approximately 9.3 million square feet, for an aggregate price of
$926.6 million, with a resulting net gain of $113.6 million. Included in these divestitures is the
sale of the assets of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P., for $618.5 million. The
multi-investor fund owned 100 buildings totaling approximately 5.8 million square feet. We received
cash and a distribution of an on-tarmac property, AMB DFW Air Cargo Center I, in exchange for our
21% interest in the fund.

In December 2005, we issued 3,000,000 shares of 7.0% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock. In August 2006, we issued 2,000,000 shares of 6.85% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock. The increase in preferred stock dividends is due to the newly issued shares. In addition,
during the year ended December 31, 2006, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries,
repurchased all 840,000 of its outstanding 8.125% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited
Partnership Units, all 220,440 of its outstanding 7.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Limited Partnership Units, all 201,139 of its outstanding 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 729,582 of its outstanding 5.00% Series N Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result, we recognized a decrease in income
available to common stockholders of $1.1 million for the original issuance costs, net of discount
on repurchase.

U.S. industrial same store revenues increased $11.2 million from 2004 to 2005 on a
year-to-date basis attributable primarily to improved occupancy and increased rental rates in
various markets. The properties acquired during 2004 consisted of 64 buildings, aggregating
approximately 7.6 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2005 consisted of 41
buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. Other industrial revenues include
rental revenues from properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture, and
accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements,
and development projects that have reached certain levels of operation and are not yet part of the
same store operating pool of properties. In 2004 and 2005, we continued to acquire properties in
China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased international
industrial revenues. The increase in private capital income was primarily due to increased asset
management fees from additional assets held in co-investment joint ventures and incentive
distributions for 2005 of $26.4 million for the sale of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, asset
management priority distributions from AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., and acquisition fees from AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P.

Same store properties operating expenses increased $4.0 million from 2004 to 2005 on a
year-to-date basis due primarily to increased insurance costs, utility expenses, repair and
maintenance expenses, and other non-reimbursable expenses. The 2004 acquisitions consisted of 64
buildings, aggregating approximately 7.6 million square feet. The 2005 acquisitions consisted of
41 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.9 million square feet. Other industrial expenses include
expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture,
and accordingly are not classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial
statements, and development properties that have reached certain levels of operation and are not
yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. In 2004 and 2005, we continued to acquire
properties in China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands, resulting in increased
international industrial property operating costs. The increase in depreciation and amortization
expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate during the year. 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 the expansion of
satellite offices. Other expenses increased approximately $2.4 million from the prior year due
primarily to greater losses on our non-qualified deferred compensation plan in 2005 and an increase
in certain deal costs. Fund costs represent general and administrative costs paid to third parties
associated with our co-investment joint ventures.

The $7.0 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was primarily
due to a gain of $5.4 million from the disposition of real estate by one of our unconsolidated
co-investment joint ventures during the second quarter of 2005. The increase in other income was
primarily due to increased bank interest income. The 2005 gains from disposition of real estate
interests resulted primarily from our contribution of $106.9 million (using exchange rate in effect
at contribution) in operating properties to our newly formed unconsolidated co-investment joint
venture, AMB Japan Fund I, L.P. The 2004 gains from disposition of real estate interests resulted
from our contribution of $71.5 million in operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment
joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. Development profits represent gains from the sale of
development projects and land as part of our
development-for-sale program. The increase in development profits was due to increased volume
in 2005. During 2005, we sold five land parcels and five development projects, aggregating
approximately 0.9 million square feet for an aggregate price of $155.2
10
million, resulting in an
after-tax gain of $45.1 million. In addition, during 2005, we received final proceeds of $7.8
million from a land sale that occurred in 2004. During 2005, we also contributed one completed
development project into an unconsolidated joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, and recognized an
after-tax gain of $1.9 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property
acquired by the third-party co-investor for cash. During 2004, we sold seven land parcels and six
development projects as part of our development-for-sale program, aggregating approximately 0.3
million square feet for an aggregate price of $40.4 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $6.5
million. During 2004, we also contributed one completed development project into a newly formed
unconsolidated joint venture, AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, and recognized an after-tax gain of $2.0 million
representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party
co-investor for cash.

During 2005, we divested ourselves of 142 industrial buildings and one retail center,
aggregating approximately 9.3 million square feet, for an aggregate price of approximately $926.6
million, with a resulting net gain of approximately $113.6 million. Included in these divestitures
is the sale of the assets of AMB Alliance Fund I for $618.5 million. The multi-investor fund owned
100 buildings totaling approximately 5.8 million square feet. We received cash and a distribution
of an on-tarmac property, AMB DFW Air Cargo Center I, in exchange for our 21% interest in the fund.
During 2004, we divested ourselves of 21 industrial buildings, two retail centers and one office
building, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $200.3
million, with a resulting net gain of $42.0 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes,
preferred stock and common equity (issued by us and/or the operating partnership and its
subsidiaries) to capitalize our 100%-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse,
secured debt encumbering our 100%-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes. In
managing our co-investment joint ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to
capitalize our co-investment joint ventures.
We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for
acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:
|
|
|
retained earnings and cash flow from operations; |
|
|
|
|
private capital from co-investment partners; |
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from contribution of properties and completed development projects to our
co-investment joint ventures; |
|
|
|
|
borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities; |
|
|
|
|
other forms of secured or unsecured financing; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities offerings; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited
partnership units by our subsidiaries); and |
|
|
|
|
net proceeds from divestitures of properties. |
We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:
11
|
|
|
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. As of December 31, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $335.9 million
as compared to $295.8 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 regional
offices. Cash used for investing activities was $880.6 million for the year ended December 31,
2006, as compared to cash used for investing activities of $60.4 million for the same period in
2005. This change is primarily due to an increase in funds used for property acquisitions and
capital expenditures, and a decrease in proceeds from property divestitures (mainly due to the
divesture of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund I, L.P., portfolio in 2005), offset by less funds used
for additions to interests in unconsolidated joint ventures and an increase in capital
distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities
was $483.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to cash used in financing
activities of $101.9 million for the same period in 2005. This change is due primarily to an
increase in borrowings, net of repayments, issuance of common stock upon the exercise of options
and issuances of preferred stock, offset by the cost of the repurchase of preferred units for the
year ended December 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
Property Divestitures. During 2006, we divested ourselves of 39 industrial buildings,
aggregating approximately 3.5 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $175.3 million, with a
resulting net gain of $42.6 million.
Development Sales. During 2006, we sold five land parcels and six development projects
totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet for an aggregate sale price of $86.6 million,
resulting in an after-tax gain of $13.3 million. In addition, during 2006, we received
approximately $0.4 million in connection with the condemnation of a parcel of land resulting in a
loss of $1.0 million, $0.8 million of which was the joint venture partners share.
Development Contributions. During 2006, we contributed a total of nine completed development
projects and one land parcel into unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. Four projects
totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet were contributed into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P, two
projects totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet were contributed into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC,
and three projects totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet were contributed into AMB
Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. In addition, one land parcel was contributed into AMB DFS
Fund I, LLC. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate
after-tax gain of $94.1 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed
property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. These gains are included in development
profits, net of taxes, in the statement of operations.
Properties Held for Contribution. As of December 31, 2006, we held for contribution to
co-investment joint ventures, nine industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $154.0
million, which, when contributed to a joint venture, will reduce our current ownership interest
from approximately 100% to an expected range of 15-50%.
Properties Held for Divestiture. As of December 31, 2006, we held for divestiture four
industrial projects, which are not in our core markets, do not meet our current strategic
objectives or which we have included as part of our development-for-sale program. The divestitures
of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. As
of December 31, 2006, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was $20.9
million. Expected net sales proceeds exceed the net carrying value of the properties.
12
Co-investment Joint Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment
joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures are managed by our
private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain
acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We
generally consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because they are not
variable interest entities and because we are the sole managing general partner and control all
major operating decisions. However, in certain cases, our co-investment joint ventures are
unconsolidated because we do not control all major operating decisions and the general partners do
not have significant rights under EITF 04-5.
Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the
consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2006, we owned approximately 64.3 million
square feet of our properties (51.6% 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 December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

property managers, investment activity and changes in financing. We have an option to purchase the
remaining equity interest beginning January 1, 2007 and expiring December 31, 2009, based on the
fair market value as stipulated in the joint venture agreement. As of December 31, 2006, we also

8.5% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for $100.2 million, including all accumulated
and unpaid dividends thereon, to the redemption date.
In December 2005, our board of directors approved a new two-year common stock repurchase
program for the 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 year ended December 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 December 31, 2006, our
share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 34.2%. (See footnote 1 to
the Capitalization Ratios table below for our definitions of our share of total market
capitalization, market equity and our share of total debt.) However, we typically finance our
co-investment joint ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of 50-65% per our joint
venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to
maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies,
however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur.
Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or
circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.
As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.4 billion,
excluding unamortized debt premiums of $6.3 million. Of the $1.4 billion of secured debt, $1.0
billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse
and bears interest at rates varying from 2.9% to 10.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of
6.2%) and final maturity dates ranging from February 2007 to January 2025. As of December 31, 2006,
$1.0 billion of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.1%, while the remaining $386.1 million bear interest at variable rates (with a
weighted average interest rate of 4.7%).

As of December 31, 2006, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.1
billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%
and had a weighted average term of 4.8 years. These unsecured senior debt securities include $300.0
million in notes issued in June 1998, $225.0 million of medium-term notes, which were issued under
the operating partnerships 2000 medium-term note program, $275.0 million of medium-term notes,
which were issued under the operating partnerships 2002 medium-term note program, $175.0 million
of medium-term notes, which were issued under the operating partnerships 2006 medium term-note
program and approximately $112.5 million of 5.094% Notes Due 2015, which were issued to Teachers
Insurance and Annuity Association of America on July 11, 2005 in a private placement, in exchange
for the cancellation of $100.0 million of notes that were issued in June 1998 resulting in a
discount of approximately $12.5 million. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to
various covenants. Also included is a $25.0 million promissory note which matures in January 2007.
We guarantee the operating partnerships obligations with respect to its senior debt
securities. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them
with proceeds from other capital transactions, then our cash flow may be insufficient to pay
dividends to our stockholders in all years and to repay debt upon maturity. Furthermore, if
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the reluctance of
lenders to make commercial real estate loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing,
then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. This increased
interest expense would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow
and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.
Credit Facilities. On June 1, 2006, the operating partnership entered into a third amended and
restated $550.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that replaced its then-existing $500.0
million credit facility, which was to mature on June 1, 2007. We are a guarantor of the operating
partnerships obligations under the credit facility. The line, which matures on June 1, 2010,
carries a one-year extension option and can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain
conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the operating
partnerships long-term debt rating, which was 42.5 basis points as of December 31, 2006, with an
annual facility fee of 15 basis points. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency
component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros, Yen or British
Pounds Sterling. The operating partnership uses its unsecured credit facility principally for
acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of December
31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $303.7 million and the remaining
amount available was $234.6 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $11.7 million. The
outstanding balance included borrowings denominated in Euros, which, using the exchange rate in
effect on December 31, 2006, equaled approximately $303.7 million U.S. dollars.
On June 23, 2006, AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership and as the
initial borrower, entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a 45.0
billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility, which, using the exchange rate in effect on
December 31, 2006, equaled approximately $377.9 million U.S. dollars. This replaced the 35.0
billion Yen unsecured revolving credit facility executed on June 29, 2004, as previously amended,
which using the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2006, equaled approximately $293.9 million
U.S. dollars. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan
Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the
operating partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from
time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to
use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for
other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the
credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit
facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The
credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option. The credit facility can
be increased to up to 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on December 31,
2006, equaled approximately $461.9 million U.S. dollars. The extension option is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the
outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally
TIBOR plus a margin, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnerships long-term
debt and was 42.5 basis points as of December 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 15 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the
facility as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on this credit
facility, using the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2006, was $320.9 million in U.S.
dollars.
On June 13, 2006, the operating partnership and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries
entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement for a $250.0 million unsecured
revolving credit facility, which replaced the third amended and restated credit agreement for a
$250.0 million unsecured credit facility. On February 16, 2006, the third amended and restated
credit agreement replaced the then-existing $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that
was to mature in June 2008. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations for
such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by us or the operating partnership
16
that are
selected by the operating partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to the
credit facility. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up
to $250.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian
dollars and Euros. The line, which matures in February 2010 and carries a one-year extension
option, can be increased to up to $350.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an
extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is
generally LIBOR plus a margin, based on the credit rating of the operating partnerships senior
unsecured long-term debt, which was 60 basis points as of December 31, 2006, with an annual
facility fee based on the credit rating of the operating partnerships senior unsecured long-term
debt. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and
development of properties and general working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2006, the
outstanding balance on this facility was approximately $227.4 million. The credit agreement
contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of
specified financial ratios by the operating partnership, and negative covenants, including
limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.
Mortgages Receivable. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, we hold a mortgage loan receivable on
AMB Pier One, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. The note bears interest at 13.0% and matures in
May 2026. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the note was $12.7 million. We also
hold a loan receivable on G. Accion, an unconsolidated joint venture totaling $6.1 million with an
interest rate of 10.0%. The loan matures in March 2010.

total debt to total consolidated debt as of December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

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

The anticipated size of our distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow us
to retire all of our debt as it comes due. Therefore, we intend to also repay maturing debt with
net proceeds from future debt or equity financings, as well as property divestitures. However, we
may not be able to obtain future financings on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain
future
financings on favorable terms or at all would adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our
stock.

Capital Commitments
Development Starts. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we initiated 30 new industrial
development projects in North America, Europe and Asia with a total expected investment of $914.3
million, aggregating approximately 10.4 million square feet. During 2005, we initiated 30 new
industrial development projects in North America, Europe and Asia with a total expected investment
of $522.4 million, aggregating approximately 7.0 million square feet.
Development Pipeline. As of December 31, 2006, we had 45 industrial projects in our
development pipeline, which will total approximately 13.7 million square feet, and will have an
aggregate estimated investment of $1.3 billion upon completion. We have an additional ten
development projects available for sale or contribution totaling approximately 3.0 million square
feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of $199.2 million. One of these ten projects totaling
$13.0 million and approximately 0.2 million square feet is held in an unconsolidated joint venture.
As of December 31, 2006, we and our joint venture partners had funded an aggregate of $814.5
million and needed to fund an estimated additional $481.0 million in order to complete our
development pipeline which includes projects expected to be completed through the fourth quarter of
2008. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we acquired 835 acres of land for
industrial warehouse development in North America and Asia for approximately $293.2 million.
Acquisitions. During 2006, we acquired 106 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately
9.8 million square feet for a total expected investment of $834.2 million (includes acquisition
costs of $814.1 million and estimated acquisition capital of $20.1 million), of which we acquired
70 buildings through one of our unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures. We generally fund our
acquisitions through private capital contributions, borrowings under our credit facilities, cash,
debt issuances and net proceeds from property divestitures.
Lease Commitments. We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels,
primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 55 years.
These buildings and improvements are amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related
leases or 40 years. Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable operating leases
in effect as of December 31, 2006 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 December 31,
2006, we had investments in co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.9 billion,
which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in four
unconsolidated co-investment joint ventures of $236.0 million and a gross book value of $2.5
billion. As of December 31, 2006, we may make additional capital contributions to current and
planned co-investment joint ventures of up to $168.2 million (using the exchange rates at December
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
unconsolidated co-investment joint venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, which
invests through a private real estate investment trust. This would increase our obligation to make
additional capital commitments. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of this fund, we
are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity commitments to the fund until such time our
total equity commitment is greater than $150.0 million, at which time, our obligation is reduced to
10% of the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from
operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from
property divestitures, which could adversely effect our cash flow.
Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, we formed a wholly owned captive insurance
company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd., (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a
portion of losses below the deductible under our third-party
policies. The captive insurance company is one element of our overall risk management program.
We capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata
established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our
properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of
future
20
projected claims, related deductibles and projected expenses necessary to fund associated
risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Like
premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by
customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, we believe that we have more
comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the
market.
Potential Contingent and Unknown Liabilities. Contingent and unknown liabilities may include
the following:
|
|
|
liabilities for environmental conditions; |
|
|
|
|
claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our
formation or acquisition transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation or
acquisition transactions; |
|
|
|
|
accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business; |
|
|
|
|
tax liabilities; and |
|
|
|
|
claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others
indemnified by these entities. |

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Standby Letters of Credit. As of December 31, 2006, we had provided approximately $22.1
million in letters of credit, of which $11.7 million was provided under the operating partnerships
$550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under
certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.
Guarantees. Other than parent guarantees associated with the unsecured debt, as of December
31, 2006, we had outstanding guarantees in the aggregate amount of $48.2 million in connection with
certain acquisitions. As of December 31, 2006, we guaranteed $26.8 million and $83.2 million on
outstanding loans on two of our consolidated joint ventures and two of our unconsolidated joint
ventures, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, we guaranteed $87.3 million on
outstanding property debt related to one of our unconsolidated joint ventures.
Performance and Surety Bonds. As of December 31, 2006, we had outstanding performance and
surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $11.4 million. These bonds were issued in connection with
certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the
construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading, sewers and
streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate
developers. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due
or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.
Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain return
thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, we may be obligated to make payments to certain of
our joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements
with us. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts
with third parties that may obligate us to make payments, pay promotes, or perform other
obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.

SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MEASURES
FFO. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure.
However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating
performance. FFO is defined as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or
losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related
depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and
unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of
non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a meaningful supplemental
measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in
accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably
over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate
values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors
and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use
historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure
of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost
depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. We believe
that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in
improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the
investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful.
We 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.
The following table reflects the calculation of FFO reconciled from net income for the years
ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

SS NOI. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings
measure. However, we consider same store net operating income, or SS NOI, to be a useful
supplemental measure of our operating performance. For properties that are considered part of the
same store pool, see Part I, Item 2: Properties Industrial Properties Owned and Managed
Market Operating Statistics, Note 6, and Owned and Managed Operating and Leasing Statistics
Owned and Managed Same Store Operating Statistics, Note 2. 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 expense, 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.
The following table reconciles SS NOI from net income for the years ended December 31 (dollars
in thousands):
