The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 4 AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, SQUARE FEET AND PERCENTAGE DATA) 1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION 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 (the "IPO") on November 26, 1997. The Company expects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, acquisition, renovation, expansion and development of industrial properties and community shopping centers in target markets nationwide. Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and its other controlled subsidiaries. The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed shortly before consummation of the IPO. AMB Institutional Realty Advisors, Inc., a California corporation and registered investment advisor (the "Predecessor") formed AMB Property Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary, and merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") in exchange for 4,746,616 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the Company and the Operating Partnership acquired, through a series of mergers and other transactions, 31.8 million rentable square feet of industrial property and 6.3 million rentable square feet of retail property in exchange for 65,022,185 shares of the Company's Common Stock, 2,542,163 limited partner interests ("LP Units") in the Operating Partnership, the assumption of debt and, to a limited extent, cash. The net assets of the Predecessor and the properties acquired with Common Stock were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 69,768,801 units. The purchase method of accounting was applied to the acquisition of the properties. Collectively, the Merger and the other formation transactions described above are referred to as the "Formation Transactions." On November 26, 1997, the Company completed its IPO of 16,100,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") for $21.00 per share, resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $338,100. Net of underwriters' commission and offering costs aggregating $38,068, the Company received approximately $300,032 in proceeds from the IPO. The net proceeds of the IPO were used to repay indebtedness, to purchase interests from certain investors who elected not to receive shares or units in connection with the Formation Transactions, to fund property acquisitions, and for general corporate working capital requirements. As of March 31, 1998, the Company owned an approximate 95.9% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 4.1% limited partner interest is owned by nonaffiliated investors. For local law purposes, properties in certain states are owned through limited partnerships and limited liability companies owned 99% by the Operating Partnership and 1% by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company's overall ownership of the interests in the properties. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership formed AMB Investment Management Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("AMB Investment Management"). The Operating Partnership purchased 100% of AMB Investment Management's non-voting preferred stock (representing a 95% economic interest therein). Certain executive officers of the Company collectively purchased 100% of the Investment Management Subsidiary's voting common stock (representing a 5% economic interest therein). The Operating Partnership accounts for its investment in AMB Investment Management using the equity method of accounting. AMB Investment Management was formed to succeed to the Predecessor's investment management business of providing real estate investment management services on a fee basis to clients. 5 AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, SQUARE FEET AND PERCENTAGE DATA) As of March 31, 1998, the Company owned 155 Properties, consisting of 118 industrial properties (the "Industrial Properties") and 37 retail properties (the "Retail Properties") located in 28 markets throughout the United States. The Industrial Properties (comprising 415 buildings), principally warehouse distribution properties, encompass approximately 44.0 million rentable square feet and, as of March 31, 1998, were 94.6% leased to over 1,000 tenants. The Retail Properties (comprising 37 centers), principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, encompass approximately 6.8 million rentable square feet and, as of the same date, were 94.6% leased to over 900 tenants. The Industrial Properties and the Retail Properties collectively are referred to as the "Properties." 2. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications with no effect on results of operations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1997, represents the results of the Predecessor, an investment manager. The Predecessor's revenues consisted primarily of fees earned in connection with real estate investment management services. As such, information presented for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is not comparable given the differences in lines of business between the Company and the Predecessor. The interim results of the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. 3. DEBT In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Company assumed certain secured debt with an aggregate principal value of $517,031 and a fair value of $535,613. The difference between the principal value and the fair value was recorded as a debt premium. The debt premium is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments using the effective interest method. As of March 31, 1998, the unamortized debt premium was $17,542. As of March 31, 1998, debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums, consists of the following: Secured debt, varying interest rates from 7.01% to 10.39%, due November 1998 to January 2014......................... $592,569 Unsecured credit facility, variable interest at LIBOR plus 110 basis points, (6.79% at March 31, 1998) due November 2000...................................................... 312,000 -------- Total Debt........................................ $904,569 ========
6 AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, SQUARE FEET AND PERCENTAGE DATA) Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust on certain Properties. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for one loan of $5,623 which bears a variable interest rate at LIBOR plus 275 basis points, or 8.44% at March 31, 1998, or prime plus 50 basis points at the borrower's option. The secured debt has various financial and non-financial covenants. Additionally, certain of the secured debt is cross-collateralized. The weighted-average fixed interest rate on secured debt at March 31, 1998, was 8.01%. The Company has a $500,000 unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as agent, and a syndicate of twelve other banks. The Credit Facility has a term of three years, and is subject to a fee that accrues on the daily average undrawn funds, which varies between 15 and 25 basis points of the undrawn funds based on the Company's credit rating. The Credit Facility has various financial and non-financial covenants. Interest capitalized related to construction projects for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was $1,253. There was no capitalized interest for periods prior to the Formation Transactions. The scheduled maturities of the secured debt as of March 31, 1998 are as follows: 1998...................................................... $ 53,712 1999...................................................... 10,965 2000...................................................... 14,427 2001...................................................... 38,582 2002...................................................... 63,675 Thereafter................................................ 411,208 -------- $592,569 ========
The 1998 maturities included $35,000 of secured debt that was assumed in connection with certain property acquisitions, and which was repaid in full subsequent to March 31, 1998. 4. MINORITY INTERESTS Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and interests held by certain third parties in 11 real estate joint ventures that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because (i) the Company owns a majority interest, or (ii) the Company holds significant control over the entity through a 50% or greater ownership interest combined with the ability to control all major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers and changes in financing. The following table sets forth the minority interest ownership held by certain joint ventures ("Minority Interest -- Joint Ventures") and the limited partnership interests' in the Operating Partnership ("Minority Interest -- Limited Partners") as of March 31, 1998. Minority Interest -- Joint Ventures....................... $ 52,867 Minority Interest -- Limited Partners..................... 70,896 -------- $123,763 ========
5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY On March 9, 1998, the Company and the Operating Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3425 per share of common stock, payable on April 3, 1998, to stockholders and unitholders of record as of March 18, 1998. 7 AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, SQUARE FEET AND PERCENTAGE DATA) 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1998, no adjustment to net income available to common stockholders was necessary, as the Company's only dilutive securities outstanding for such period were stock options issued under its stock incentive plan. The effect of the stock options was to increase weighted average shares outstanding by 410,223 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock method. The Predecessor had no dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1997. 7. PRO FORMA INFORMATION The following summary unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1997 has been prepared as if the Formation Transactions, the IPO (as described in Note 1) and property acquisitions and dispositions during the year ended December 31, 1997 had occurred on January 1, 1997. In the opinion of management, the pro forma financial information does not purport to present the consolidated results that would have occurred if the aforementioned transactions had been consummated on January 1, 1997, nor does it purport to present the consolidated results of operations for future periods.

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP As of March 31, 1998, the Company owned a 95.9% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 2, 1998, the Operating Partnership filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350,000. If such transaction is consummated, the Company anticipates that it will use the net proceeds from the issuance to repay borrowings on the Credit Facility and for general working capital requirements. In April 1998, the Company repaid approximately $35,000 in assumed debt related to properties acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. 9 ITEM 2.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company invested $296 million in real estate, consisting of (i) $272 million in operating properties comprising 56 industrial buildings and two shopping centers, including $37 million of capital provided by Institutional Alliance Partners for their share of consolidated joint ventures with the Company, (ii) $22 million for the acquisition of two development projects, and (iii) $2 million of additional acquisition costs for an existing property. In addition, the Company initiated development of three development projects with a total estimated cost of $88 million, including the $22 million of acquisition costs included above, bringing the expected cost of developments in process at March 31, 1998 to $211 million. INCREASED PRESENCE IN KEY MARKETS The Company continued to execute its research-based target market strategy by expanding its presence in key markets nationwide and initiating significant investments in two newly targeted markets. Major markets targeted by the Company's research for significant expansion during the quarter included the following: - BOSTON: The Company more than tripled its presence in this market through its $85.7 million investment in 22 industrial buildings comprising 2.9 million square feet in three transactions. Since entering the Boston market approximately six months ago, the Company has grown its portfolio to 35 industrial buildings aggregating 4.2 million square feet. The first quarter acquisitions included a transaction structured through the Company's UPREIT Alliance Program, allowing the former owner, the Campanelli Companies, to exchange properties for equity interests in the Company while retaining management and leasing responsibilities. - ORLANDO: The Company expanded its portfolio in this market to become a leading property owner in the broader industrial market with a total of 17 buildings totaling over 1.5 million square feet. During the quarter, the Company invested $30.3 million to purchase 11 industrial warehouse buildings totaling 791,386 square feet located in the Orlando Central Park ("OCP"). The Company is now the largest owner in OCP, the dominant industrial park in the Orlando market. 10 - NORTHERN NEW JERSEY: The Company expanded in this national distribution market, increasing its holdings to six buildings aggregating 1.8 million square feet. Through a co-investment transaction in its Institutional Alliance Program, the Company invested $23.4 million during the quarter for a 50% interest in three industrial buildings comprising 821,712 square feet. - Further investments were made in the Company's existing markets, including $26.0 million invested in a 290,204 square foot community shopping center in Seattle, $15.0 million in a 312,106 square foot industrial investment in Minneapolis, and $6.0 million in a 113,700 square foot industrial investment in Atlanta. EXPANSION INTO NEW TARGET MARKETS During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Company research targeted two new industrial markets where it intends to establish a significant presence: - PORTLAND: The Company invested $29.3 million in its entry into this key regional distribution market, acquiring two industrial portfolios comprising five industrial buildings totaling 676,104 square feet. The Company, together with its Alliance Partner, Trammell Crow, will manage and lease the properties. The Company targeted Portland for its strong economic growth, economic diversification and Pacific Rim location. - MEMPHIS: The Company invested $13.6 million in its entry to this key distribution market, with the purchase of a 50% interest in seven buildings comprising 858,322 square feet through a co-investment with an Institutional Alliance Partner. The Company targeted Memphis as a growth market with a prime location in a critical industrial distribution state. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY - MIAMI: The Company worked with Development Alliance Partner, The LEFMARK Group, on two community shopping center projects in South Florida. The first is the planned 248,900 Springs Gate Retail Center, a community shopping center to be built in Coral Springs and anchored by Regal Cinema, one of the largest theater chains in the country. The project is currently 60% pre-leased, and completion is anticipated for May 1999. The second is the renovation of the 259,400 square foot Northridge Shopping Center located in North Broward County. The center will be renovated and re-configured and is expected to be completed in September 2000. The property is currently 90% leased to tenants, including Walgreens, Publix and Target. - DALLAS/FORT WORTH: The Company commenced construction on an $18.3 million, 205,000 square foot air cargo facility at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport with its Strategic Alliance Partner, Trammell Crow Company, with whom the Company will develop and manage the project. This transaction represents the last parcel of land available on the tarmac for an air cargo facility, and the property is expected to be 100% pre-leased prior to completion. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES During the quarter, the Company continued to position itself for future growth through its Strategic Alliance Program. The Company added four new alliance partners: the Campanelli Companies, a prominent Boston developer, for the acquisition and development of industrial properties in greater Boston; The LEFMARK Group, for continued renovation and development of community shopping centers in South Florida; Trammell Crow Company, for development, management and leasing of industrial properties in five selected major distribution markets and near major airports nationwide; and a prominent national insurance company, for co-investment in retail and industrial properties nationwide. Through the Company's UPREIT Alliance Program, the Company completed its first two UPREIT transactions during the quarter, totaling an aggregate of $100.4 million and adding 3.2 million square feet to the portfolio. 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The discussion below is presented as follows: (i) results of the Company and its Predecessor for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and (ii) results of the Properties for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. COMPANY AND PREDECESSOR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPANY AND PREDECESSOR -- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 Rental revenues. Rental revenues, including straight-line rents, tenant reimbursements and other property related income, totaled $74.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Predecessor's revenues consisted primarily of fees earned in connection with real estate management services. As such, no such rental revenues existed for the Predecessor for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Property operating expenses and real estate taxes. Property operating expenses, including asset management costs and real estate taxes, totaled $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Predecessor's expenses consisted primarily of salaries and other general and administrative costs. As such, no such property operating expenses existed during the three months ended March 31, 1997. General and administrative expenses. The Company's general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the Predecessor's investment management expenses of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Investment management expenses of the Predecessor consisted primarily of salaries and other general and administrative expenses. The $1.2 million, or 31%, decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the change in the operations of the Company, from an investment manager to a fully integrated real estate company, and the formation of AMB Investment Management. In connection with the Formation Transactions, AMB Investment Management assumed employment and other related costs of certain employees who transferred from the Predecessor to AMB Investment Management for the purpose of carrying on the investment management business. PROPERTIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The historical results of operations of the Properties for periods prior to November 26, 1997 include Properties that were managed by the Predecessor and exclude the results of four properties that were contributed to the Company in the Formation Transactions that were not previously managed by the Predecessor. In addition, the historical results of operations include the results of Properties acquired after November 26, 1997, from the date of acquisition of such Properties to December 31, 1997. The historical property financial data presented herein show significant increases in revenues and expenses principally attributable to substantial portfolio growth. As a result, the Company does not believe the year-to-year financial data are comparable to prior periods. Therefore, the analysis below shows (i) changes resulting from Properties that were held during the entire period for both years being compared (the "Core Portfolio") and (ii) changes attributable to acquisition and development activity. For the comparison between the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Core Portfolio consists of the 77 Properties acquired prior to January 1, 1997. The Company's future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties. No assurance can be given that the past trends of revenues, expenses or income of the Company will continue in the future at their historical rates, and any variation therefrom may be material. 12 Following is a summary of the Properties' historical property operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------- 1997 1998 ---------- ---------- Rental revenues.............................. $ 54,871 $ 74,602 Property operating expenses, before depreciation and amortization.............. (19,439) (20,252) -------- -------- Property operating income(1)............ $ 35,432 $ 54,350 ======== ========
- --------------- (1) Property operating income is computed as rental revenues less property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. PROPERTIES -- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 Rental revenues. Rental revenues, including straight-line rents, tenant reimbursements and other property related income, increased by $19.7 million, or 36%, for the three months ended March 31, 1998, to $74.6 million as compared to $54.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Approximately $3.1 million, or 16% of this increase, was attributable to the Core Portfolio, with the remaining $16.6 million attributable to Properties acquired in 1997 and 1998. The 6% growth in rental revenues in the Core Portfolio resulted primarily from the incremental effect of rental rate increases, changes in occupancy and reimbursement of expenses. In 1998, the Company increased average contractual or base rental rates on the Properties by 16.4% on 52 new and renewing leases totaling 1.3 million rentable square feet (representing 2.6% of the Properties' aggregate rentable square footage). Property operating expenses and real estate taxes. Property operating expenses, including asset management costs and real estate taxes, increased by $0.9 million, or 4%, for the three months ended March 31, 1998, to $20.3 million as compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Core Portfolio operating expenses decreased by approximately $3.1 million, while operating expenses attributable to Properties acquired in 1998 and 1997 increased by $4.0 million. The change in Core Portfolio operating expenses and real estate taxes relates to (i) Core Portfolio real estate taxes and insurance expense increased by approximately $0.2 million from 1997 to 1998, while (ii) Core Portfolio other property operating expenses (excluding real estate taxes and insurance) decreased by approximately $3.3 million from 1997 to 1998. The large decrease in other property operating expenses is attributable to lower asset management costs in 1998 as compared to 1997 that resulted from the change in ownership structure. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company expects that its principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of the Properties will include its Credit Facility, permanent secured debt financing, proceeds from public and private unsecured debt offerings, proceeds from public and private equity offerings (including issuances of Units) and cash flows provided by operations. Management believes that its sources of working capital and its ability to access private and public debt and equity capital are adequate to continue to meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as agent, and a syndicate of twelve other banks. The Credit Facility has a term of three years, and is subject to a fee that accrues on the daily average undrawn funds, which varies between 15 and 25 basis points of the undrawn funds based on the Company's credit rating. The Company uses the Credit Facility principally for acquisitions and for general working capital requirements. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 to 120 basis points (currently LIBOR plus 90 basis points), depending on the Company's debt rating at the time of such borrowings. As of March 31, 1998, the outstanding balance 13 on the Credit Facility was $312.0 million and bore interest at LIBOR plus 110 basis points (6.79% as of such date). Monthly debt service payments on the Credit Facility are interest only. The Credit Facility matures in November 2000. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The total amount available under the Credit Facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility. Currently, the maximum amount available is approximately $460 million. Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company received credit ratings for its unsecured debt of Baa1 from Moody's Investors Service, BBB from Standard & Poor's Corporation and BBB+ from Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. As a result of the receipt of the investment-grade credit ratings, the interest rate on the Company's unsecured revolving Credit Facility was reduced by 20 basis points to LIBOR plus 90 basis points. In connection with the recent property acquisitions and the Formation Transactions, the Company has assumed various mortgages and other secured debt. As of March 31, 1998, the aggregate principal amount of such secured debt was $592.6 million, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $17.5 million. The secured debt bears interest at rates varying from 7.01% to 10.39% per annum (with a weighted average of 8.01%) and final maturity dates ranging from 1998 to 2014. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's total outstanding debt was approximately $922.1 million, including unamortized debt premiums of approximately $17.5 million. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The total amount of debt to be repaid in 1998 is approximately $53.7 million, including normal principal amortization of approximately $5.6 million and $35.0 million of assumed secured debt, which was repaid in full subsequent to March 31, 1998. In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the rapid deployment of capital through market cycles, the Company presently intends to operate with a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio of less than 45%. Additionally, the Company intends to continue to structure its balance sheet in order to maintain an investment grade rating on its senior unsecured debt. The Company intends to keep the majority of its assets unencumbered to facilitate such rating. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was approximately 29.9%. LIQUIDITY As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $28.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $148.0 million of additional available borrowings under the Credit Facility. Additionally, on April 2, 1998, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million. If such transaction is consummated, the Company intends to use cash from operations, available borrowings under its Credit Facility and net proceeds from the anticipated issuance of the senior unsecured notes to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and to provide for general working capital requirements. On March 9, 1998, the Company and the Operating Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3425 per common share, payable on April 3, 1998 to stockholders and unitholders of record on March 18, 1998. The anticipated size of the Company's distributions, using only cash from operations, will not allow it to retire all of its debt as it comes due. Therefore, the Company intends to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds from future debt and/or equity financings. No assurance can be given, however, that future financings will be available to the Company or that the terms of any such financings will be favorable from the Company's perspective. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS In addition to recurring capital expenditures and costs to renew or re-tenant space, the Company is currently in the process of renovating, expanding or developing 10 projects at a total estimated cost of $211.0 million. The Company presently expects to fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility or debt or equity issuances. Other than these capital items, the Company has no material capital commitments. During the period from January 1, 1998 to March 31, 1998, the Company 14 acquired 56 industrial buildings and two retail centers, aggregating 6.9 million rentable square feet for a total cost of $272.1 million. The acquisitions were funded through borrowings under the Credit Facility, cash, debt assumption of approximately $83.5 million, co-investments by Institutional Alliance Partners of approximately $37.0 million and the issuance of LP Units with a value of approximately $25.8 million at the date of issuance. The Company expects that its funds from operations and availability under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet expected capital commitments for the next 12 months. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Management believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO"), as defined by NAREIT, is an appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998. The 1997 FFO was prepared on a pro forma basis (giving effect to the completion of the Formation Transactions, the IPO, and certain 1997 property acquisitions and dispositions) as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------ 1997 (PRO FORMA) 1998 ---------------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARES) Income from operations before minority interests......... $ 24,327 $ 29,188 Real estate related depreciation and amortization: Total depreciation and amortization.................... 11,766 11,786 Furniture, fixtures and equipment depreciation......... (43) (104) FFO attributable to minority interests(1)(2).............

- --------------- (1) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in March 1995 (the "White Paper") defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analyses. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the White Paper, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund cash needs, including the ability to make distributions. (2) Represents FFO attributable to minority interests in consolidated joint ventures for the period presented, which has been computed as minority interests' share of net income plus minority interests' share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization of the consolidated joint ventures for such period. Such minority interests are not convertible into shares of Common Stock. 15 TENANT RETENTION RATES AND RENT INCREASES The following table sets forth information relating to tenant retention rates and rent increases on renewal and re-tenanted space for the Industrial Properties and the Retail Properties for the periods presented.

Holders of the LP Units may redeem part or all of their LP Units for cash, or at the election of the Company, exchange such LP Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. This redemption/exchange right may not be exercised prior to April 1999.
