Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 55
5. | Please revise in future Exchange Act periodic filings to disclose, either in the notes or on the face of the consolidated statements of operations, amounts attributable to the parent for income (loss) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, or tell us how you have complied with ASC 810-10-50-1A. |
In past filings, we have not separately disclosed amounts attributable to Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. for continuing and discontinued operations as the income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests was not material. As such, the income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily from continuing operations and therefore further disclosure of the breakout of continuing and discontinued operations for Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. was not required under ASC 810-10-50-1A.
In future Exchange Act periodic filings, we will disclose in the notes to our consolidated statements of operations the amounts attributable to Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. for income (loss) from continuing operations and discontinued operations to the extent that separate disclosure is material to an understanding of operating results.
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), page 56
6. | Please revise in future Exchange Act periodic filings to present, either in the notes or on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), the amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to each component of other comprehensive income, or tell us how you have complied with ASC 220-10-45-12. |
2
In regards to our past filings, there was no income tax expense or benefit related to derivative contracts or foreign currency translation and therefore the allocation to other comprehensive income was not necessary. In our future Exchange Act periodic filings, we will present in our notes to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) the amount of income tax expense or benefit allocated to each component of other comprehensive income, if applicable and to the extent material to an understanding of our results.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Long-Lived Assets, page 66
7. | We note your disclosure that costs incurred in acquiring real estate properties are expensed as incurred. Please tell us, and clarify in future Exchange Act periodic filings where significant, how you account for costs incurred in acquiring land or properties that are considered asset acquisitions. |
We capitalize costs in acquiring land or properties that are considered asset acquisitions, although such costs are generally not significant. Generally, we do not have properties that are considered asset acquisitions. We will disclose in future Exchange Act periodic filings how we account for costs incurred in acquiring land or properties that are considered asset acquisitions.
8. | We note your disclosure that for land parcels you intend to sell, you estimate the future undiscounted cash flows based on estimated fair value. Please tell us whether you consider costs to sell the assets in your analysis. |
For land parcels we intend to sell, we consider costs to sell the assets in our analysis regarding future undiscounted cash flows. We estimate the future undiscounted cash flows for land parcels we intend to sell, which includes the net proceeds from dispositions including the costs to sell the assets. In future Exchange Act periodic filings, we will modify our disclosure regarding land parcels we intend to sell to clarify this point.
