AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Organization and Formation of the Company

AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.

The Company uses the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in its portfolio and uses these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution^®(HTD^®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. The Company uses the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which it has at least a 10% ownership interest, for which it is the property or asset manager and for which it currently intends to hold long-term. The Company uses the term “joint venture” to describe all joint ventures, including co-investment ventures, with real estate developers, other real estate operators, or institutional investors where the Company may or may not have control, act as the managerand/ordeveloper, earn asset management distributions or fees, or earn incentive distributions or promoted interests. In certain cases, the Company might provide development, leasing property managementand/oraccounting services, for which it may receive compensation. The Company uses the term “co-investment venture” to describe joint ventures with institutional investors, managed by the Company, from which the Company receives acquisition fees for third-party acquisitions, portfolio and asset management distributions or fees, as well as incentive distributions or promoted interests.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company owned an approximate 96.4% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining approximate 3.6% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests. Certain properties are owned by the Company through limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties.

Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had significant investments in three consolidated and five unconsolidated co-investment ventures. On July 1, 2008, the partners of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) contributed their interests in AMB Partners II, L.P. to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. in exchange for interests in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture. No gain or loss was recognized on the contribution.

On July 18, 2008, the Company acquired the remaining equity interest (approximately 42%) in G. Accion, S.A. de C.V. (“G. Accion”), a Mexican real estate company. G. Accion is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and has been renamed AMB Property Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“AMB Property Mexico”). AMB Property Mexico owns and develops real estate and provides real estate management and development services in Mexico. Through its investment in AMB Property Mexico, the Company holds equity interests in various other unconsolidated joint ventures totaling approximately $27.9 million. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the additional equity interest in AMB Property Mexico was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized

Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of future results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007 and its Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Qfor the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate and leasehold interests are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, an adjustment to the carrying value of the property is made to reduce it to its estimated fair value. The Company also regularly reviews the impact of above or below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs for acquisitions, and records an intangible asset or liability accordingly. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on aproperty-by-propertybasis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be fully recoverable. For properties held for use, impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s 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. For properties held for divestiture or contribution, impairment is recognized when the carrying value of the property is less than its estimated fair value net of costs to sell. As a result of leasing activity and the economic environment, the Company re-evaluated the carrying value of its investments and recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, on certain of its investments. No such impairment was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Comprehensive Income. The Company reports comprehensive income in its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income was $8.0 million and $81.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Comprehensive income was $147.5 million and $221.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

International Operations. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries formed in the United States, Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe. Other than Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe, the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity or property is located, mitigating the effect of currency exchange gains and losses. The Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. The Company translates income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. These gains (losses) are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. The Company also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value of the net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions. As prescribed in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and certain indefinite lived intangible assets, are no longer amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The Company tests

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

annually (or more often, if necessary) for impairment under SFAS No. 142. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company performed a test for impairment and determined that there was no impairment to goodwill and intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes long-term derivative contracts and real estate.

(1)		The fair value at September 30, 2008 reflects a loss on impairment of an investment of $3.4 million recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities, but not with respect to its nonfinancial assets (such as real estate, which is not subject to annual fair value measurements) as those provisions of SFAS No. 157 have been deferred. SFAS No. 157 had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows with respect to the provisions of SFAS No. 157 that were adopted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 159 with no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),Business Combinations, which changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but, at a minimum, it will require the expensing of transaction costs.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, which clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161.


3.	Development Activity

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 57 projects in the development pipeline, which are expected to total approximately 17.9 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $1.5 billion upon completion. Four of these projects totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet with an aggregate estimated investment of $79.6 million are held in an unconsolidated co-investment venture. The Company has an additional 14 development projects available for sale or contribution totaling approximately 3.5 million square feet, with an aggregate estimated investment of $455.8 million, including one project with an estimated total investment of $23.8 million that is held in an unconsolidated co-investment venture. As of September 30, 2008, the Company and its development joint venture partners have funded an aggregate of $1.2 billion, or 79%, of the total estimated investment and will need to fund an estimated additional $328.3 million, or 21%, in order to complete the Company’s development pipeline. The development pipeline, at September 30, 2008, included projects expected to be completed through the second quarter of 2010. In addition to the Company’s committed development pipeline, it holds a total of 2,590 acres of land for future development or sale, approximately 87% of which is located in North America, including 79 acres that are held in an unconsolidated joint venture. The Company currently estimates that these 2,590 acres of land could support approximately 46.0 million square feet of future development.

Properties Held for Contribution. As of September 30, 2008, the Company held for contribution to co-investment ventures 23 properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million, which, when contributed, will reduce the Company’s average ownership interest in these projects from approximately 98% to an expected range of15-20%. As of September 30, 2008, properties with an aggregate net book value of $76.7 million were reclassified from properties held for contribution to investments in real estate as a result of the change in management’s expectations regarding the launch of an appropriate co-investment venture. These properties may be reclassified as properties held for contribution at some future time.

Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. Some of the loans are cross-collateralized by multiple properties. The secured debt is collateralized by deeds of trust or mortgages on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $2.5 billion, including $1.8 billion held in consolidated joint ventures for each period. As of September 30, 2008, $730.9 million of the secured debt obligations bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% while the remaining $651.1 million bore interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%).

On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement for a $305.0 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160.0 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second note has an initial principal borrowing of $40.0 million with a variable interest rate of 81.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has an initial principal borrowing of $84.0 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has an initial principal borrowing of $21.0 million and bears interest at a variable rate of 135.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.

On June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS assumed, and the Operating Partnership was released from, all of the Operating Partnership’s obligations and liabilities under a 328.0 million Euro facility agreement.

On September 4, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a $230.0 million secured term loan credit agreement that matures on September 4, 2010 and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.35% at September 30, 2008. The Company is a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the term loan facility. The term loan facility carries a one-year extension option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be increased up to $300.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which was 130.0 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the base rate on the term loan was fixed at 2.7% through December 11, 2009 through interest rate swaps. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, the Company’s cost of debt will increase.

As of September 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and had an average term of 4.4 years. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to its unsecured senior debt securities. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants at September 30, 2008.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $403.4 million outstanding in other debt which bore a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% and had an average term of 1.5 years. Other debt also includes a $70.0 million non-recourse credit facility obtained on August 24, 2007 by AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which had a $60.0 million balance outstanding as of September 30, 2008. The Company also had $343.4 million outstanding in other non-recourse debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a $325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2008, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the Operating Partnership also obtained a $100.0 million unsecured money market loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in June 2008. In June 2008, the Operating Partnership obtained a new $100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in September 2008.

The Operating Partnership has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility which bore a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% at September 30, 2008. This facility matures on June 1, 2010. The Company is a guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and the facility can be increased up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating, with an annual facility fee of 15.0 basis points. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, the Company’s cost of debt will increase. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below investment grade, the Operating Partnership will be unable to request money market loans and borrowings in Euros, Yen or British pounds sterling. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar. The Operating Partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008, was $114.2 million and the remaining amount available was $407.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $28.5 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens

and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2008.

AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008, equaled approximately $518.3 million U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.2%. The Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things. The extension option is also subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, the Company’s cost of debt will increase. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable quarterly, which is based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15.0 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008, was $329.2 million, and the remaining amount available was $189.1 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. Management believes that the Company, the Operating Partnership and AMB Japan Finance Y.K. were in compliance with their financial covenants under this credit agreement at September 30, 2008.

On July 16, 2007, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Operating Partnership, each acting as a borrower, and the Company and the Operating Partnership, as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500.0 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to July 2011 and to allow for borrowing in Indian rupees. The Company and the Operating Partnership guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Operating Partnership that are selected by the Operating Partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to their credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The line, which matures in July 2011, carries a one-year extension option, which the Operating Partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be increased up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which was 60.0 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, the Company’s cost of debt will increase. If the Operating Partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below investment grade, the Operating Partnership will be unable to request borrowings in any currency other than U.S. dollars. The borrowers

intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and general working capital requirements.

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.

6.	Minority Interests

Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, limited partnership interests in AMB Property II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 22.3 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company exercises significant rights over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. These joint venture investments do not meet the variable interest entity criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51.

The Company holds interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company determines consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46) or EITF IssueNo. 04-5(EITF 04-5),Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights andSOP 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

For joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined under FIN 46 where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, it does not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. Based on the guidance set forth inEITF 04-5,the Company consolidates certain joint venture investments because it exercises significant control over major operating decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. The Company is the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) in a number of the Company’s consolidated joint venture investments. In all such cases, the limited partners in such investments (or equivalent of limited partners in such investments which are not structured as partnerships) do not have rights described inEITF 04-5,which would preclude consolidation. The Company consolidates certain other joint ventures where it is not the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) because the Company has control over those entities through majority ownership, retention of the majority of economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rightsand/orsubstantive participating rights. For joint ventures underEITF 04-5where the Company does not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where it exercises significant influence, the Company uses the equity method of accounting and does not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. In such unconsolidated joint ventures, either the Company is not the general partner (or general partner equivalent) and does not hold sufficient capital or any rights that would require consolidation or, alternatively, the Company is the general partner (or the general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override the presumption of control.

The Company has consolidated joint ventures that have finite lives under the terms of the partnership agreements. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate book value of the joint venture minority interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was approximately $282.1 million and $517.6 million, respectively. The Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests was approximately $590.0 million at September 30, 2008 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2007. However, there can be no assurance that these amounts will be the aggregate settlement value of the interests.

respective joint venture agreements. There can be no assurance that the estimated liquidation values of the assets and liabilities and the resulting proceeds that the Company distributes upon dissolution will be the same as the actual liquidation values of such assets, liabilities and proceeds distributed upon dissolution. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures will affect the Company’s estimate of the aggregate settlement value. The joint venture agreements do not limit the amount to which the minority joint venture partners would be entitled in the event of liquidation of the assets and liabilities and dissolution of the respective joint ventures.

10.	Segment Information

The Company has two lines of business: real estate operations and private capital. Real estate operations is comprised of various segments while private capital consists of a single segment, on which the Company evaluates its performance:


	•	Real Estate Operations. The Company operates industrial properties and manages its business by geographic markets. Such industrial properties are typically comprised of multiple distribution warehouse facilities suitable for single or multiple customers who are engaged in various types of businesses. The geographic markets where the Company owns industrial properties are managed separately because it believes each market has its own economic characteristics and requires its own operating, pricing and leasing strategies. Each market is considered to be an individual operating segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon property net operating income of the combined properties in each segment, which are listed below. In addition, the Company’s development business is included under real estate operations. It primarily consists of the Company’s development of real estate properties that are subsequently contributed to a co-investment venture fund in which the Company has an ownership interest and for which the Company acts as manager, or that are sold to third parties. The Company evaluates performance of the development business by reported operating segment based upon gains generated from the dispositionand/orcontribution of real estate. The assets of the development business generally include properties under development and land held for development. During the period between the completion of development of a property and the date the property is contributed to an unconsolidated co-investment venture or sold to a third party, the property and its associated rental income and property operating costs are included in the real estate operations segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss is included as gains from sale or contribution of real estate interests or development profits, as appropriate.

	•	Private Capital. The Company, through its private capital group, AMB Capital Partners, LLC (“AMB Capital Partners”), provides real estate investment, portfolio management and reporting services to co-investment ventures and clients. The private capital income earned consists of acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from the Company’s co-investment ventures and AMB Capital Partners’ clients. With respect to the Company’s U.S. and Mexico funds and co-investment ventures, the Company typically earns a 90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 7.5% of net operating income on stabilized properties, 70.0 basis points of total projected costs as asset management fees on renovation or development properties, and incentive distributions of 15% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 20% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis or at the end of a fund’s life. In Japan, the Company earns a 90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management priority distributions of 1.5% of 65% of the committed equity during the investment period and then 1.5% of unreturned equity, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 10% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 13% internal rate of return to investors at the end of a fund’s life. In Europe, the Company earns a 90.0 basis points acquisition fee on the acquisition cost of third party acquisitions, asset management fees of 75.0 basis points on the gross asset value of the fund, and incentive distributions of 20% of the return over a 9% internal rate of return and 25% of the return over a 12% internal rate of return to investors on a periodic basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 2, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company evaluates performance based upon private capital income.

(1)		The markets included in U.S. markets are a subset of the Company’s regions defined as East, Southwest and West Central in the Americas. Japan is a part of the Company’s Asia region.
(2)		Property net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as rental revenue, including reimbursements, less property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. For a reconciliation of NOI to net income, see the table below.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the operating performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio on a segment basis, and the Company uses NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess regional property level performance. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations. Further, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

The following table is a reconciliation from NOI to reported net income, a financial measure under GAAP (dollars in thousands):

11.	Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Lease Commitments. The Company has entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities and office space with remaining lease terms of one to 55 years. Buildings and improvements subject to ground leases are depreciated ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.

Standby Letters of Credit. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had provided approximately $36.5 million in letters of credit, of which $28.5 million was provided under the Operating Partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.

Guarantees and Contribution Obligations. Excluding parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” as of September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $696.9 million as described below.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $33.2 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2008, the Company also guaranteed $25.9 million and $177.1 million on outstanding loans on six of its consolidated joint ventures and four of its unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.

Also, the Company has entered into contribution agreements with its unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution agreements require the Company to make additional capital contributions to the applicable co-investment venture upon certain defaults by the co-investment venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable co-investment venture’s debt

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

obligation and may be greater than the Company’s share of the co-investment venture’s debt obligation or the value of its share of any property securing such debt. The Company’s contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. The Company’s potential obligations under these contribution agreements total $260.6 million as of September 30, 2008.

On May 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a 142.0 million Euros364-daymulti-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately $200.1 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at September 30, 2008) and related guarantee as loan guarantor with the Company’s affiliate AMB Fund Management S.à. r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, certain of the Company’s European affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its European affiliates and ING Real Estate Finance N.V. The facility agreement provides that certain of the affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to 142.0 million Euros (approximately $200.1 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at September 30, 2008) all of which are repayable 364 days after the date of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts owed under the facility agreement are guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and there were no borrowings under the facility agreement at September 30, 2008. AMB Fund Management S.á. r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS has indemnified the Operating Partnership for all of its obligations under the guarantee.

Performance and Surety Bonds. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $11.3 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of its development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. The performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.

Promoted Interests and Other Contractual Obligations. Upon the achievement of certain return thresholds and the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be obligated to make payments to certain of its joint venture partners pursuant to the terms and provisions of their contractual agreements with the Operating Partnership. From time to time in the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into various contracts with third parties that may obligate it to make payments, pay promotes or perform other obligations upon the occurrence of certain events.

Contingencies

Litigation. In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. Management does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability would have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flow. The Company carries environmental insurance and believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice.

General Uninsured Losses. The Company carries property and rental loss, liability, flood and terrorism insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms, conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and current industry practice. In addition, a significant number of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity. As a result, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war, that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although the Company has obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that it believes are commercially reasonable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to collect under such policies. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, a property.

Captive Insurance Company. The Company has a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party policies. The captive insurance company is one element of the Company’s overall risk management program. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. Arcata establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, the Company believes that it has more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking statements, including those in this report, are qualified in their entirety by this statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “AMB,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMB Property Corporation, AMB Property, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include AMB Property, L.P. and their controlled subsidiaries. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the “operating partnership.” The following marks are our registered trademarks: AMB^®; and High Throughput Distribution^®(HTD^®).

THE COMPANY

We acquire, develop and operate industrial properties in key distribution markets tied to global trade in the Americas, Europe and Asia. We use the terms “industrial properties” or “industrial buildings” to describe various types of industrial properties in our portfolio and use these terms interchangeably with the following: logistics facilities, centers or warehouses; distribution facilities, centers or warehouses; High Throughput Distribution^®(HTD^®) facilities; or any combination of these terms. We use the term “owned and managed” to describe assets in which we have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the property or asset manager and which we currently intend to hold for the long-term. We use the term “joint venture” to describe all joint ventures, including co-investment ventures, with real estate developers, other real estate operators, or institutional investors where we may or may not have control, act as the managerand/ordeveloper, earn asset management distributions or fees, or earn incentive distributions or promoted interests. In certain cases, we might provide development, leasing property managementand/oraccounting services, for which we may receive compensation. We use the term “co-investment venture” to describe joint ventures with institutional investors, managed by us, from which we receive acquisition fees for third-party acquisitions, portfolio and asset management distributions or fees, as well as incentive distributions or promoted interests.

We operate our business primarily through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “operating partnership”. As of September 30, 2008, we owned an approximate 96.4% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in itsday-to-daymanagement and control.

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust and expect that we have qualified, and will continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our corporate administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. We manage our portfolio of properties generally through direct property management performed by our own employees. Additionally, within our flexible operating model, we may from time to time establish relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide some property-level administrative and management services under our direction.

Investment Strategy

Our strategy focuses on providing industrial distribution warehouse space to customers whose businesses are tied to global trade and who value the efficient movement of goods through the global supply chain, primarily in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained infill locations with dense populations and proximity to airports, seaports and major highway systems. According to the World Trade Organization, global trade has grown by more than three times the world gross domestic product growth rate over the past 30 years. Infill submarkets typically offer substantial consumer concentrations, proximity to large clusters of distribution facility users and significant labor pools, and are generally located near key international passenger and cargo airports, seaports and major highway systems. When measured by annualized base rent, on an owned and managed basis, a substantial majority of our portfolio of industrial properties is located in our target markets, and much of this is in infill submarkets within our target markets. Infill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.

In many of our target markets, we focus on HTD^®facilities, which are buildings designed to facilitate the rapid distribution of our customers’ products rather than the storage of goods. Our investment focus on HTD^®assets is based on what we believe to be a global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD^®facilities generally have a variety of physical characteristics that allow for the rapid transport of goods frompoint-to-point.These physical characteristics could include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We believe that these building characteristics help our customers to reduce their costs and become more efficient in their delivery systems. Our customers include air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies that have time-sensitive needs, and that value facilities located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure, such as major airports and seaports.

As of September 30, 2008, we owned, or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 158.4 million square feet (14.7 million square meters) in 49 markets within 15 countries. Additionally, as of September 30, 2008, we managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial and other properties totaling approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet.

Of the approximately 158.4 million square feet as of September 30, 2008:


	•	on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned or partially owned approximately 129.6 million square feet (principally, warehouse distribution buildings) that were 95.4% leased;

	•	on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated co-investment ventures, we had investments in 57 development projects, which are expected to total approximately 17.9 million square feet upon completion;

	•	on an owned and managed basis, which include investments held on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned 14 development projects, totaling approximately 3.5 million square feet, which are available for sale or contribution;

	•	through non-managed unconsolidated joint ventures, we had investments in 46 industrial operating properties, totaling approximately 7.3 million square feet; and

	•	we held approximately 0.1 million square feet through a ground lease, which is the location of our global headquarters.

Operating Strategy

We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and is best operated by local teams in each market. We manage our portfolio of properties generally through direct property management performed by our own employees. Additionally, within our flexible operating model, we may, from time to time, establish relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide some property-level administrative and management services under our direction. We intend to continue to increase utilization of internal management resources in target markets to achieve operating efficiencies and expose our customers to the broadening array of AMB’s service offerings, including access to multiple locations worldwide andbuild-to-suitdevelopments. We actively manage our portfolio, whether directly or with an alliance partner, by establishing leasing strategies, negotiating lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.

Growth Strategies

Growth through Operations

We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space, striving to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. We believe it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, however, our past results are not necessarily an indication of our future performance. See Part I, Item 1: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.

Growth through Development

We think that the development, redevelopment and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties generally provide us with attractive investment opportunities at higher rates of return than may be obtained from the purchase of existing properties. Through the deployment of our in-house development and redevelopment expertise, we seek to create value both through new construction and the acquisition and management of redevelopment opportunities. Additionally, we believe that our historical focus on infill locations creates a unique opportunity to enhance value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses, within our value-added conversion business. Value-added conversion projects generally involve a significant enhancement or a change in use of the property from industrial distribution warehouse to a higher and better use, such as office, retail or residential. New developments, redevelopments and value-added conversions require significant management attention, and development and redevelopment require significant capital investment, to maximize their returns. Completed development and redevelopment properties are generally contributed to our co-investment

ventures and held in our owned and managed portfolio or sold to third parties. Value-added conversion properties are generally sold to third parties at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. We think our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.

The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Many of our employees have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with local, national or international development firms. Over the past several years, we have significantly expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in co-investment ventures and development joint ventures, providing us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites.

Growth through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment

Our acquisition experience and our network of property management, leasing and acquisition resources should continue to provide opportunities for growth. In addition to our internal resources, we have long-term relationships with leasing and investment sales brokers, as well as third-party local property management firms, which may give us access to additional acquisition opportunities because such managers frequently market properties on behalf of sellers. In addition, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.

We are generally engaged in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and other transactions, some of which may be significant, that may include, but are not limited to, individual properties, large multi-property portfolios or property owning or real estate-related entities. We cannot assure you that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate.

Growth through Global Expansion

Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested in markets outside the United States based on annualized base rent. Expansion into target markets outside the United States represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial property markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our focus in the United States on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments extend our offering of HTD^®facilities to customers who valuespeed-to-marketover storage. We think that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo, shipping and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investments, our in-house expertise and our strategic alliances with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally. For a discussion of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and international markets, please see Part I, Item 1: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Growth through Co-Investments

We co-invest in properties with private capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or other joint ventures. Our co-investment ventures are managed by our private capital group and typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Generally, we will own a10-50%interest in our co-investment ventures. As of September 30, 2008, we owned approximately 78.9 million square feet of our properties (49.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

Management’s 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. We also generate earnings from our private capital business, which consists of asset management fees and priority distributions, acquisition and development fees, and promoted interests and incentive distributions from our co-investment ventures. Additionally, we generate earnings from the contributions of development properties to our co-investment ventures, from the disposition of projects in ourdevelopment-for-saleand value-added conversion programs and from land sales. Our long-term growth is driven by our ability to:


	•	maintain and increase occupancy ratesand/orincrease rental rates at our properties;

	•	continue to develop properties profitably and sell to third parties or contribute to our co-investment ventures; and

	•	continue to raise third-party equity in our co-investment ventures and to grow our earnings from our private capital business through the contribution of properties or from the acquisition of new properties.

Global Market and Economic Conditions

Recent market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions and slower growth through the third quarter of 2008. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and declining real estate market have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. In the third quarter, added concerns fueled by the failure of several large financial institutions and government interventions in the credit markets led to increased market uncertainty and instability in the capital and credit markets. These conditions, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment have contributed to unprecedented levels of volatility in the capital markets.

As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. As of September 30, 2008, we had $722.9 million available for future borrowings under our three multi-currency lines of credit and had cash and cash equivalents of $285.9 million. In addition, our current maturity schedule is laddered and geographically diversified. While we believe that we have sufficient working capital and capacity under our credit facilities to continue our business operations as usual in the short-term, continued turbulence in the global markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers. If these market conditions continue in the long-term, they may limit our ability, and the ability of our customers, to timely replace maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

In addition, a continued increase in the cost of credit and inability to access the capital and credit markets may have adverse effects on the occupancy of our properties, the disposition of our properties, private capital raising and contribution of properties to our co-investment ventures. For example, an inability to fully lease our properties may result in such properties not meeting our investment criteria for contributions to our co-investment ventures. If we are unable to contribute completed development properties to our co-investment ventures or sell our completed development projects to third parties, we will not be able to recognize gains from the contribution or sale of such properties and, as a result, our net income available to our common stockholders and our funds from operations will decrease. Additionally, business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers may adversely impact our business and financial condition. Furthermore, general uncertainty in the real estate markets has resulted in conditions where the pricing of certain real estate assets may be difficult due to uncertainty with respect to capitalization rates and valuations, among other things, which may add to the difficulty of buyers or our co-investment ventures to obtain financing on favorable terms to acquire such properties or cause potential buyers to not complete acquisitions of such properties. The market uncertainty with respect to capitalization rates and real estate valuations also adversely impacts our net asset value.

The recent global market and economic conditions have also adversely impacted the market price per share of our common stock since the close of the quarter. Since September 30, 2008, our market equity has decreased significantly from $4.6 billion to approximately $2.1 billion as of November 6, 2008. The factors impacting the price per share of our common stock are listed in the “Business Risks” section of our Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007 and in Part II, Item 1A. of this report.

Real Estate Operations

Real estate fundamentals in the United States continued to weaken in the third quarter of 2008 as the national economy slowed further. We are anticipating that the U.S. and global economies will weaken further for the remainder of the year and into 2009. Customer decision-making has continued to slow, as commitments for new space are being eliminated or put on hold with only time critical leasing decisions being made. According to data provided by Torto Wheaton Research, availability in the United States was 10.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, up 40.0 basis points from the prior quarter and 140.0 basis points from the third quarter of 2007. Also, according to Torto Wheaton Research, absorption was negative 8.3 million square feet in the third quarter of 2008, whereas construction completions were 44.5 million square feet, up from 42.8 million square feet in the prior quarter.Year-to-date,absorption was negative 50.7 million square feet, the worst since the third quarter of 2002. We believe that net absorption for the fourth quarter of 2008 will remain negative with the possibility of positive absorption in the second half of 2009.

We think the strongest industrial markets in the United States continue to be the major coastal markets tied to global trade, including Southern California, which is our largest market, Seattle and New York/Northern New Jersey. While demand has weakened notably across the U.S., due primarily to the weakening economy, we believe our coastal markets will continue to outperform other U.S. industrial markets, particularly in the infill submarkets where our industrial properties are concentrated. Outside the United States, we believe that the Toronto and central Mexico markets will continue to experience steady demand and occupancy levels, and that customer demand for distribution facilities in our Europe infill markets will remain relatively healthy. In Japan, we expect that customer requirements for upgraded distribution space to modern, large floor-plate facilities will continue to support demand in our infill markets. With the continued growth of trade flows into and out of China, we believe demand should remain steady in China’s seaport and gateway markets.

The table below summarizes key operating and leasing statistics for our owned and managed operating properties for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

(1)		Schedule includes owned and managed operating properties which we define as properties in which we have at least a 10% ownership interest, for which we are the property or asset manager and which we currently intend to


		hold for the long-term. This excludes development and renovation projects and recently completed development projects available for sale or contribution.

(2)		Rent changes on renewals and rollovers are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the net annualized base rent (ABR) due the first month of a term commencement and the net ABR due the last month of the former customer’s term. If free rent is granted, then the first positive full rent value is used as a point of comparison. The rental amounts exclude base stop amounts, holdover rent and premium rent charges. If either the previous or current lease terms are under 12 months, then they are excluded from this calculation. If the lease is first generation or there is no prior lease for comparison, then it is excluded from this calculation.

(3)		On a consolidated basis, for the Americas, Europe and Asia, occupancy percentage at period end for 2008 was 95.1%, 78.7% and 96.1%, and trailing four quarter rent change on renewals and rollovers at period end for 2008 was 4.4%, n/a and 11.9%, respectively. On a consolidated basis, for the Americas, Europe and Asia, occupancy percentage at period end for 2007 was 96.3%, n/a and 89.2%, and trailing four quarter rent change on renewals and rollovers at period end for 2007 was 4.3%, n/a and (7.8%), respectively. Properties in Europe are primarily held in the unconsolidated co-investment venture AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS.

Although the economy continued to slow, we were able to improve occupancy levels. Our owned and managed portfolio occupancy at September 30, 2008 was 95.4%, up from 95.2% at June 30, 2008, while average occupancy was 95.3%, up from 94.6% in the second quarter of 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, rent on renewed and re-leased space in our operating portfolio increased 4.8% on an owned and managed basis, excluding expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. Rental rates on lease renewals and rollovers in our portfolio increased 4.1% for the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 2008. During the quarter, cash-basis same store net operating income, with and without the effect of lease termination fees, grew by 3.0% and 3.5%, respectively, on an owned and managed basis. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar, cash-basis same store net operating income without the effect of lease termination fees increased 1.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash-basis same store net operating income, with and without the effect of lease termination fees, increased by 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively, on an owned and managed basis. See “Supplemental Earnings Measures” below for a discussion of cash-basis same store net operating income and a reconciliation of cash-basis same store net operating income and net income.

Development Business

Our development business consists of conventional development,build-to-suitdevelopment, redevelopment, land sales, and value-added conversions. We generate earnings from our development business through the disposition or contribution of projects from these activities.

Despite the cyclical downturn in the U.S. and global economies, we believe that, over the long-term, customer demand for new industrial space in strategic markets tied to global trade will continue to outpace supply, most notably in major gateway markets in Europe and Asia. To capitalize on this demand, we intend to opportunistically develop in many of our global markets and expand into new markets around the world that are essential to global trade. 63% of our 2008 development starts are outside the United States. However, given the uncertainty of the global economy, we have reduced our 2008 development starts, and we expect that our development starts in 2009 will be reduced further from 2008 levels and will be more heavily focused on emerging markets. We also will continue to redevelop existing industrial buildings opportunistically by investing significant amounts of capital to enhance the functionality of the properties to meet current industrial market demands. In addition to our committed development pipeline, we hold a total of 2,590 acres of land for future development or sale, approximately 87% of which is located in North America. We currently estimate that these 2,590 acres of land could support approximately 46.0 million square feet of future development. Our long-term capital allocation goal is to have approximately 50% of our owned and managed operating portfolio invested innon-U.S. marketsbased on owned and managed annualized base rent.

We believe that our historical investment focus on industrial real estate in some of the world’s most strategic infill markets positions us to create value through the select conversion of industrial properties to higher and better uses (value-added conversions). Generally, we expect to sell to third parties these value-added conversion projects

at some point in the re-entitlement/conversion process, thus recognizing the enhanced value of the underlying land that supports the property’s repurposed use. Value-added conversions involve the repurposing of industrial properties to a higher and better use, including office, residential, retail, research & development or manufacturing. Activities required to prepare the property for conversion to a higher and better use may include such activities as rezoning, redesigning, reconstructing and retenanting. The sales price of a value-added conversion project is generally based on the underlying land value, reflecting its ultimate higher and better use and as such, little to no residual value is ascribed to the industrial building. Due to dislocation in the housing industry, we do not believe that this is the optimal time to market certain value-added conversion projects, in particular, those intended to include a residential component. We remain committed to the viability of this development activity and believe that a well-timed approach to executing value-added conversion transactions will enhance stockholder value over the long-term.

Private Capital Business

Since our initial public offering in 1997, we have formed eleven co-investment ventures and raised over $3.1 billion of private capital from third parties as equity in such co-investment ventures. Eight of these co-investment ventures are still active in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan: AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, AMB-SGP, L.P., AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P., andAMB-AMS, L.P.

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 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 ventures; however, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so. Through contribution of development properties to our co-investment ventures, we expect to recognize value creation from our development pipeline. In anticipation of the formation of future co-investment ventures, we may also hold acquired and newly developed properties for contribution to such future co-investment ventures.

Equityholders in two of our co-investment ventures, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, have a right to request that the ventures redeem their interests under certain conditions. The redemption right of investors in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. is currently exercisable, and as of September 30, 2008, this co-investment venture had $172.1 million of outstanding redemption requests based on the co-investment venture’s net asset value at June 30, 2008. The redemption right of investors in AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS is exercisable beginning after July 1, 2010. Although such redemption rights generally do not require the co-investment ventures to allocate newly acquired capital to cover redemption activity, there can be no assurance that such allocation will not occur and will not occur in such magnitude that will affect our contribution of properties to the ventures.

As of September 30, 2008, we owned approximately 78.9 million square feet of our properties (49.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We may make additional investments through these co-investment ventures or new co-investment ventures in the future and presently plan to do so. Given the current economic environment, however, the pace of new private capital commitments has slowed significantly.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the preparation of financial statements, we utilize certain critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies included in the notes to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The analysis below includes changes attributable to same store growth, acquisitions, development activity and divestitures. The same store pool includes all properties that are owned as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and excludes development properties stabilized after December 31, 2006 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties that have been substantially complete for at least 12 months). As of September 30, 2008, the same store industrial pool consisted of properties aggregating approximately 100.9 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions, and expenses may vary materially from historical results. Acquisition and disposition activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased $18.5 million from the prior year for the three-month period due primarily to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $122.7 million if AMB Partners II, L.P. had been contributed as of July 1, 2007. The increase of $0.7 million, had AMB Partners II, L.P. been contributed at September 30, 2007, was primarily due to higher rent levels during the third quarter of 2008. The increase in rental revenues from development of $1.3 million is primarily due to an increase in the number of projects in our development pipeline and increased occupancy at several of our development projects. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from development projects that have reached certain levels of operation but are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in these revenues of $3.7 million reflects the number of projects that have reached these levels of operation and higher rent levels during the third

quarter of 2008. The increase in revenues fromnon-U.S. industrialproperties of $8.4 million was primarily due to the acquisition of 2.2 million square feet of operating properties between September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The increase in private capital revenues of $1.9 million was primarily due to an increase in asset management fees as a result of an increase in total assets under management, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition fees.

Total costs and expenses	$	124.8		$	119.6		$	5.2			4.3	%

Same store properties’ operating expenses decreased $4.8 million from the prior year for the three-month period primarily due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $33.8 million if AMB Partners II, L.P. had been contributed as of July 1, 2007. The increase in development operating costs of $0.9 million is primarily due to an increase in the number of projects in our development pipeline and increased operations in certain development projects. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, 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. The increase in these costs of $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to an increase in the number of projects that have reached these levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in property operating costs fornon-U.S. industrialproperties of $3.7 million was primarily due to the acquisition of 2.2 million square feet of operating properties between September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $6.4 million was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate year over year as well as recognizing $4.3 million of depreciation expense resulting from the reclassification of $76.7 million of properties from properties held for contribution to investments in other real estate. The decrease in other expenses of $2.0 million is primarily due to a loss on our non-qualified deferred compensation plans during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a gain during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we sold one completed development project and a parcel of land totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $2.7 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $0.6 million. In addition, we contributed one completed development project totaling 1.3 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., one completed development project totaling 0.5 million square feet into AMB SGP-Mexico, LLC and one completed development project totaling 0.3 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., all unconsolidated co-investment ventures, for a total of $171.4 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $27.4 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we sold two completed development projects totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $26.3 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $8.5 million. In addition, we contributed three completed development projects totaling 0.9 million square feet into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, and one completed development project totaling 0.5 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., both unconsolidated co-investment ventures, for a total of $217.9 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $39.8 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008, as well as growth in our unconsolidated assets under management. Other income decreased $12.2 million from the prior year for the three-month period primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 we recognized a gain on currency remeasurement of approximately $4.7 million, compared to a loss of approximately $0.5 million in the same period of 2008. Other income also decreased due to the recognition of a $3.4 million loss on impairment of an investment, a loss on our non-qualified deferred compensation plans and a decrease in interest income. Interest expense increased $3.0 million as result of increased total consolidated debt at September 30, 2008.

U.S. industrial same store rental revenues decreased $17.1 million from the prior year for the nine-month period due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $402.5 million if AMB Partners II, L.P. had been contributed as of July 1, 2007. The increase of $2.1 million had AMB Partners II, L.P. been contributed at September 30, 2007, was primarily due to higher rent levels during the nine-month period in 2008. Other industrial revenues include rental revenues from development projects that have reached certain levels of operation but are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in these revenues of $12.3 million reflects the increase in the number of projects that have reached these levels of operation and higher rent levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in revenues fromnon-U.S. industrialproperties of $16.1 million was primarily due to the acquisition of 2.2 million square feet of operating properties between September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The increase in private capital revenues of $38.8 million was primarily due to the receipt of an incentive distribution of $33.0 million for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an incentive distribution of $1.0 million in connection with the sale of the partnership interests in AMB/Erie, L.P., including its final real estate asset to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and an increase in asset management fees as a result of an increase in total unconsolidated assets under management, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition fees.

Same store properties’ operating expenses decreased $3.1 million from the prior year for the nine-month period primarily due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, on July 1, 2008. Same store operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $110.9 million if AMB Partners II, L.P. had been contributed as of July 1, 2007. The increase of $1.7 million had AMB Partners II, L.P. been contributed at September 30, 2007, was primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance expense. The increase in development operating costs of $1.1 million is primarily due to increased operations in certain development projects. Other industrial expenses include expenses from divested properties that have been contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, 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. The increase in these costs of $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to the contribution of one operating property totaling 0.8 million square feet and an increase in the number of projects that have reached these levels of operation and are not yet part of the same store operating pool of properties. The increase in property operating costs fornon-U.S. industrialproperties of $6.8 million was primarily due to the acquisition of 2.2 million square feet of operating properties between September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $7.9 million was due to the increase in the net investment in real estate year over year as well as the recognition of $4.3 million of depreciation expense resulting from the reclassification of $76.7 million from properties held for contribution to investments in real estate. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $8.2 million is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, resulting from increased employee headcount. The decrease in other expenses of $5.0 million is primarily due to a loss on our non-qualified deferred compensation plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Development profits represent gains from the sale or contribution of development projects including land. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold four completed development projects and a parcel of land totaling 0.1 million square feet for approximately $15.7 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $2.9 million. In addition, we contributed four completed development projects totaling 2.7 million square feet into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., two completed development projects totaling 0.9 million square feet into AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., one completed development project totaling 0.1 million square feet into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, and three completed development projects totaling 1.4 million square feet into AMB SGP-Mexico LLC, all unconsolidated co-investment ventures, for a total of $499.4 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $73.4 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we sold seven completed development projects totaling 0.4 million square feet for approximately $71.9 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $14.7 million. In addition, we contributed twelve completed development projects totaling 3.0 million square feet and two land parcels into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB DFS Fund I, LLC, and AMB Japan Fund I, L.P., five of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. As a result of these contributions, we recognized an aggregate after-tax gain of $74.8 million representing the portion of our interest in the contributed assets acquired by the third-party co-investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we contributed an operating property for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. As a result, we recognized a gain of $20.0 million on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we contributed 4.2 million square feet in operating properties into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, contributed a 0.2 million square foot operating property into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and contributed an operating property aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet into AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC, for a total of approximately $524.9 million. As a result of these contributions, we recognized gains from the contribution of real estate interests of approximately $74.8 million, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash. The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to the contribution of AMB Partners II, L.P. (previously, a consolidated co-investment venture) to AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an unconsolidated co-investment venture, as well as growth in our unconsolidated assets under management. Other income decreased $20.1 million from the prior year for the nine-month period primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 we recognized a gain on currency remeasurement of approximately $5.5 million, compared to a loss of approximately $6.4 million in 2008. Other income also decreased due to the recognition of a $3.4 million loss on impairment of an investment, a loss on our non-qualified deferred compensation plans and a decrease in interest income. Additionally, other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included insurance proceeds of approximately $2.9 million related to losses from Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. Interest expense increased $3.5 million as result of increased total consolidated debt at September 30, 2008.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from prior dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we divested ourselves of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $7.5 million, with a resulting net gain of $1.9 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.0 million associated with the sale of one redevelopment project. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006.

In addition, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased all 510,000 of its outstanding 8.00% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units. As a result of the redemptions and repurchase, we recognized a reduction of income available to common stockholders of $2.9 million for the original issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. No repurchases were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Balance Sheet Strategy. In general, we use unsecured lines of credit, unsecured notes, preferred stock and common equity (issued by usand/or the operating partnership and its subsidiaries) to capitalize our wholly-owned assets. Over time, we plan to retire non-recourse, secured debt encumbering our wholly-owned assets and replace that debt with unsecured notes where practicable. In managing the co-investment ventures, in general, we use non-recourse, secured debt to capitalize our co-investment ventures.

We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of properties will include:


	•	cash on hand and cash flow from operations;

	•	private capital from co-investment partners;

	•	net proceeds from contributions of properties and completed development projects to our co-investment ventures;


	•	net proceeds from the sales of development projects, value-added conversion projects and land to third parties;

	•	net proceeds from divestitures of properties;

	•	borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities;

	•	other forms of secured or unsecured financing;

	•	assumption of debt related to acquired properties;

	•	proceeds from limited partnership unit offerings (including issuances of limited partnership units by our subsidiaries); and

	•	proceeds from equity (common and preferred) or debt securities offerings.

We currently expect that our principal funding requirements will include:


	•	development, expansion and renovation of properties;

	•	acquisitions;

	•	debt service;

	•	dividends and distributions on outstanding common and preferred stock and limited partnership units; and

	•	working capital.

To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, we must pay dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income. 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 may need to continue to raise capital in both the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions and developments.

If the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below its current levels, the borrowing cost of debt under our unsecured credit facilities and certain term loans will increase. In addition, if the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below investment grade, we may be unable to request borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars or Japanese Yen, as applicable, however, the lack of other currency borrowings does not affect our ability to fully draw down under the credit facilities or term loans. In the event the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below investment grade, we will be unable to exercise our options to extend the term of our credit facilities or certain term loans. However, our lenders will not be able to terminate our credit facilities or certain term loans in the event that the operating partnership’s credit rating falls below investment grade status. None of our credit facilities or such term loans contains covenants regarding our stock price or market capitalization, thus a decrease in our stock price is not expected to impact our ability to borrow under our existing lines of credit and term loans. Based on publicly available information regarding our lenders, we currently do not expect to lose borrowing capacity under our existing lines of credit and term loans as a result of a consolidation, merger or other business combination among our lenders. However, our access to funds under our credit facilities is dependent on the ability of the lenders that are parties to such facilities to meet their funding commitments to us. We continue to closely monitor global economic conditions and the lenders who are parties to our credit facilities, as well as our long-term debt and credit ratings and outlooks, our customers’ financial positions, private capital raising and capital market activity.

Should we face a situation in which we do not have sufficient cash available to us through our operations to continue operating our business as usual, we may need to find alternative ways to increase our liquidity. Such alternatives may include, without limitation, divesting ourselves of properties, whether or not they otherwise meet our strategic objectives to keep for the long-term; issuing and selling our debt and equity in public or private transactions; entering into leases with our customers at lower rental rates; or entering into lease renewals with our existing customers without an increase in rental rates at turnover.

Cash Flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $240.0 million as compared to $216.9 million for the same period in 2007. This change is primarily due to gains

from sales and contributions of real estate interests, net, changes in our accounts receivable and other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities and an increase in operating distributions received by unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Cash used in investing activities was $640.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $437.2 million for the same period in 2007. This increase is primarily due to an increase in cash paid for property acquisitions, a decrease in net proceeds from divestiture of real estate and securities, a decrease in capital distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures, an increase in loans made to affiliates and the purchase of additional equity interest in G. Accion, offset by an increase in repayment of mortgage and loan receivables and a decrease in additions to land, buildings, development costs, building improvements and lease costs. Cash provided by financing activities was $455.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $331.4 million for the same period in 2007. This increase is due primarily to an increase in borrowings on other debt, an increase in net proceeds from issuances of senior debt, an increase in borrowings on unsecured credit facilities, a decrease in the repurchase of preferred units, a decrease in payments on secured debt and a decrease in distributions to minority interests. This activity was partially offset by a decrease in the issuance of common stock and preferred units, an increase in payments on other debt, an increase in payments on unsecured credit facilities and a decrease in borrowings on secured debt.

Subject to the above discussion, we believe our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under our unsecured credit facilities, are adequate for us to meet our 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.

Development Completions. Development completions are generally defined as properties that are substantially complete and 90% occupied or pre-leased, or that have been substantially complete for at least 12 months.

Property Divestitures. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we did not divest ourselves of any industrial properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold an approximate 0.1 million square foot industrial operating property for a sale price of $3.6 million, with a resulting net gain of $0.7 million, and we also recognized a deferred gain of approximately $1.1 million on the divestiture of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for a price of $3.5 million, which was disposed of on December 31, 2007. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from prior dispositions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we divested ourselves of one industrial building, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $7.5 million, with a resulting net gain of $1.9 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.0 million associated with the sale of one redevelopment project. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized approximately $0.4 million in gains resulting primarily from the additional value received from the disposition of properties in 2006.

Gains from Sale or Contribution of Real Estate Interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we contributed an operating property for approximately $66.2 million, aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet, into AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. We recognized a gain of $20.0 million on the contribution, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed property acquired by the third-party investors for cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we contributed operating properties for approximately $524.9 million, aggregating approximately 4.5 million square feet, into AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P. and AMB-SGP Mexico, LLC. We recognized gains of $74.8 million on the contributions, representing the portion of our interest in the contributed properties acquired by the third-party investors for cash.

Properties Held for Contribution. As of September 30, 2008, we held for contribution to co-investment ventures 23 properties with an aggregate net book value of $693.8 million which, when contributed, will reduce our average ownership interest in these projects from approximately 98% to an expected range of15-20%. As of September 30, 2008, properties with an aggregate net book value of $76.7 million were reclassified from properties held for contribution to investments in real estate as a result of the change in management’s expectations regarding the launch of an appropriate co-investment venture. These properties may be reclassified as properties held for contribution at some future time. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as of September 30, 2008, we recognized additional depreciation expense and related accumulated depreciation of $4.3 million.

Properties Held for Divestiture. As of September 30, 2008, we held for divestiture nine industrial projects with an aggregate net book value of $81.3 million. These properties either are not in our core markets or do not meet our current investment objectives, or are included as part of our development-for-sale or value-added conversion programs. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Properties held for divestiture are stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Co-investment Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We determine consolidation based on standards set forth in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46) or EITF IssueNo. 04-5(EITF 04-5),Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights andSOP 78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. For joint ventures that are variable interest entities as defined under FIN 46 where we are not the primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. Based on the guidance set forth inEITF 04-5,we consolidate certain joint venture investments because we exercise significant control over major operating decisions, such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, asset management, investment activity and changes in financing. We are the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) in a number of our consolidated joint venture investments. In all such cases, the limited partners in such investments (or equivalent of limited partners in such investments which are not structured as partnerships) do not have rights described inEITF 04-5,which would preclude consolidation. We consolidate certain other joint ventures where we are not the general partner (or equivalent of a general partner in entities not structured as partnerships) because we have control over those entities through majority ownership, retention of the majority of economics, and a combination of substantive kick-out rightsand/orsubstantive participating rights. For joint ventures underEITF 04-5where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions, but where we exercise significant influence, we use the equity method of accounting and do not consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. In such unconsolidated joint ventures, either we are not the general partner (or general partner equivalent) and do not hold sufficient capital or any rights that would require consolidation or, alternatively, we are the general partner (or the general partner equivalent) and the other partners (or equivalent) hold substantive participating rights that override the presumption of control.

Third-party equity interests in the consolidated co-investment ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2008, we owned approximately 78.9 million square feet of our properties (49.8% of the total operating and development portfolio) through our consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

AMB Pier One, LLC, is a joint venture related to the 2000 redevelopment of the pier that houses our global headquarters in San Francisco, California. On June 30, 2007, we exercised our option to purchase the remaining equity interest held by an unrelated third party, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the joint venture agreement, in AMB Pier One, LLC, for a nominal amount. As a result, the investment was consolidated as of June 30, 2007.

As of September 30, 2008, we also had a 100% consolidated interest in G. Accion, a Mexican real estate company, which has been renamed AMB Property Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“AMB Property Mexico”). AMB Property Mexico owns and develops real estate and provides real estate management and development services in Mexico. On June 13, 2008, we acquired approximately 19% of additional equity interest and on July 18, 2008, we acquired

the remaining equity interest (approximately 42%) in AMB Property Mexico, increasing our equity interest from approximately 39% to 100%. Through our investment in AMB Property Mexico, we hold equity interests in various other unconsolidated ventures totaling approximately $27.9 million. In addition, in August 2008, one of our subsidiaries sold its approximate 5% interest in IAT Air Cargo Facilities Income Fund (IAT), a Canadian income trust specializing in aviation-related real estate at Canada’s international airports as part of a tender offer for interests in the income trust. These equity investments of approximately $2.1 million (valued as of December 31, 2007) were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007.

Common and Preferred Equity. We have authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which the following series were designated as of September 30, 2008: 1,595,337 shares of series D cumulative redeemable preferred, none of which are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series L cumulative redeemable preferred, of which 2,000,000 are outstanding; 2,300,000 shares of series M cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; 3,000,000 shares of series O cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding; and 2,000,000 shares of series P cumulative redeemable preferred, all of which are outstanding.

In December 2007, our board of directors approved a two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate price of $87.7 million at a weighted average price of $49.64 per share. We have the authorization to repurchase up to an additional $112.3 million of our common stock under this program.

Debt. In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend over the long-term to operate with an our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio of approximately 45% or less. As of September 30, 2008, our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization ratio was 44.9%. (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 ventures with secured debt at a loan-to-value ratio of50-65% per our co-investment venture agreements. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. Regardless of these policies, however, our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our management could alter or eliminate these policies without stockholder approval or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies. For example, decreases in the market price of our common stock will cause an increase in the ratio of our share of total debt-to-our share of total market capitalization.

As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.4 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $2.4 million. Of the $1.4 billion of secured debt, $791.9 million is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 1.1% to 10.7% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 5.4%) and final maturity dates ranging from December 2008 to November 2022. As of September 30, 2008, $730.9 million of the secured debt obligations bear interest at fixed rates with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%, while the remaining $651.1 million bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%).

On February 14, 2007, seven subsidiaries of AMB-SGP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is one of our subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement for a $305.0 million secured financing. On the same day, pursuant to the loan agreement, the same seven subsidiaries delivered four promissory notes to the two lenders, each of which matures on March 5, 2012. One note has a principal of $160.0 million and an interest rate that is fixed at 5.29%. The second is a $40.0 million note with an interest rate of 81.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate. The third note has a principal of $84 million and a fixed interest rate of 5.90%. The fourth note has a principal of $21.0 million and bears interest at a rate of 135.0 basis points above the one-month LIBOR rate.

On September 4, 2008, the operating partnership entered into a $230.0 million secured term loan credit agreement that matures on September 4, 2010 and which had a weighted average interest rate of 5.35% at September 30, 2008. We are the guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the term loan facility. The term loan facility carries a one-year extension option, which the operating partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be increased up to $300.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a

margin, which was 130.0 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the base rate on the term loan was fixed at 2.7% through December 11, 2009 through interest rate swaps. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, our cost of debt will increase.

As of September 30, 2008, the operating partnership had outstanding an aggregate of $1.2 billion in unsecured senior debt securities, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and had an average term of 4.4 years. The unsecured senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. The covenants contain affirmative covenants, including compliance with financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations. In March 2008, the operating partnership obtained a $325.0 million unsecured term loan facility, which had a balance of $325.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2008, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. In February 2008, the operating partnership also obtained a $100.0 million unsecured money market loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in June 2008. In June 2008, the operating partnership obtained a new $100.0 million unsecured loan with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4% and subsequently paid off the entire balance in September 2008.

We guarantee the operating partnership’s 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.

We may from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchasesand/orexchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Credit Facilities. The operating partnership has a $550.0 million (includes Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollar denominated borrowings) unsecured revolving credit facility, which bore a weighted average interest rate of 4.9% at September 30, 2008. This facility matures on June 1, 2010. We are a guarantor of the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The line carries a one-year extension option, which the operating partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and the facility can be increased to up to $700.0 million upon certain conditions. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating, with an annual facility fee of 15.0 basis points. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, our cost of debt will increase. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below investment grade, the operating partnership will be unable to request money market loans and borrowings in Euros, Yen or British pounds sterling. The four-year credit facility includes a multi-currency component, under which up to $550.0 million can be drawn in Euros, Yen, British pounds sterling or U.S. dollars. The operating partnership uses the credit facility principally for acquisitions, funding development activity and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008, was $114.2 million and the remaining amount available was $407.3 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $28.5 million.

AMB Japan Finance Y.K., a subsidiary of the operating partnership, has a Yen-denominated unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing limit of 55.0 billion Yen, which, using the exchange rate in effect at September 30, 2008, equaled approximately $518.3 million U.S. dollars and bore a weighted average interest rate of 1.2%. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations of AMB Japan Finance Y.K. under the credit facility, as well as the obligations of any other entity in which the operating partnership directly or indirectly owns an ownership interest and which is selected from time to time to be a borrower under and pursuant to the credit

agreement. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and for other real estate purposes in Japan, China and South Korea. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility with certain real estate assets or equity in entities holding such real estate assets. The credit facility matures in June 2010 and has a one-year extension option, which the operating partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things. The extension option is also subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments under the facility at that time. The rate on the borrowings is generally TIBOR plus a margin, which was 42.5 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, our cost of debt will increase. In addition, there is an annual facility fee, payable in quarterly amounts, which is based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s long-term debt, and was 15.0 basis points of the outstanding commitments under the facility as of September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility, using the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2008, was $329.2 million, and the remaining amount available was $189.1 million. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and maintenance of specified financial ratios, and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and limitations on mergers or consolidations.

On July 16, 2007, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the operating partnership, each acting as a borrower, with us and the operating partnership as guarantors, entered into a fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement for a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that replaced the existing $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The fifth amended and restated credit facility amends the fourth amended and restated credit facility to, among other things, increase the facility amount to $500.0 million with an option to further increase the facility to $750.0 million, to extend the maturity date to July 2011 and to allow for future borrowing in Indian rupees. We, along with the operating partnership, guarantee the obligations for such subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the operating partnership that are selected by the operating partnership from time to time to be borrowers under and pursuant to our credit facility. Generally, borrowers under the credit facility have the option to secure all or a portion of the borrowings under the credit facility. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $500.0 million can be drawn in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, and Euros with the ability to add Indian rupees. The line, which matures in July 2011, carries a one-year extension option, which the operating partnership may exercise at its sole option so long as the operating partnership’s long-term debt rating is investment grade, among other things, and can be increased to up to $750.0 million upon certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding commitments. The rate on the borrowings is generally LIBOR plus a margin, which was 60.0 basis points as of September 30, 2008, based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt, with an annual facility fee based on the credit rating of the operating partnership’s senior unsecured long-term debt. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below current levels, our cost of debt will increase. If the operating partnership’s long-term debt ratings fall below investment grade, the operating partnership will be unable to request borrowings in any currency other than U.S. dollars. The borrowers intend to use the proceeds from the facility to fund the acquisition and development of properties and general working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on this credit facility was approximately $373.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%, and the remaining amount available was $126.5 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.

On June 12, 2007, AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS assumed a 328.0 million Euro facility agreement, and we were released from all of our obligations and liabilities related to this facility agreement. On June 12, 2007, there were 267.0 million Euros (approximately $355.2 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at June 12, 2007) of term loans and no acquisition loans outstanding under the facility agreement.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2008, we had $285.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $722.9 million of additional available borrowings under our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2008, we had $23.6 million in restricted cash.

Our available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. The invested cash is invested in money market funds that invest solely in direct obligations of the government of the United States or in time deposits with certain financial institutions. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

At any point in time, we also have a significant amount of cash deposits in our operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions, and, as of September 30, 2008, approximately $228.1 million on a consolidated basis. These balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or be subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

Our board of directors declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 of $0.52 per share of common stock, and the operating partnership paid a regular cash distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 of $0.52 per common unit. The dividends and distributions were paid on October 15, 2008 to stockholders and unitholders of record on October 6, 2008. The series L, M, O and P preferred stock dividends were paid on October 15, 2008 to stockholders of record on October 6, 2008. The following table sets forth the dividends and distributions paid or payable per share or unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

(1)		In April 2007, the operating partnership redeemed all of its series J and series K preferred units.

(2)		In April 2007, AMB Property II, L.P. repurchased all of its series I preferred units.

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

Cash flows generated by our business were sufficient to cover our dividends and distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Cash flows from our real estate operations and private capital businesses, which are included in “Net cash provided by operating activities” in our Cash Flows from Operating Activities and cash flows from our real estate development and operations businesses which are included in “Net proceeds from divestiture of real estate” in our Cash Flows from Investing Activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were sufficient to pay dividends on our common stock, distributions on our preferred stock and common and preferred limited partnership units of AMB Property, L.P. and AMB Property II, L.P. and distributions to minority interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Cash Flows from Operating Activities alone were not sufficient to pay such dividends and distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as shown in the table below. We use proceeds from our businesses included in Cash Flows from Investing Activities (specifically, the proceeds from sales and contributions of properties as part of our real estate development and operations businesses) to fund dividends and distributions not covered by Cash Flows from Operating Activities.

(1)		Includes total estimated cost of development, renovation, or expansion, including initial acquisition costs, prepaid ground leases, buildings, and associated carry costs. Estimated total investments are based on current forecasts and are subject to change.Non-U.S.dollar investments are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2008 or 2007, as applicable.

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 subject to ground leases are amortized ratably over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or 40 years.

Co-Investment Ventures. Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment ventures are managed by our private capital group and provide us with an additional source of capital to fund acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income. As of September 30, 2008, we had investments in co-investment ventures with a gross book value of $1.2 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and net equity investments in five unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $354.9 million and a gross book value of $6.2 billion. As of September 30, 2008, we may make additional capital contributions to current and planned co-investment ventures of up to $116.0 million (using the exchange rates at September 30, 2008) pursuant to the terms of the co-investment venture agreements. From time to time, we may raise additional equity commitments for AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment venture formed in 2004 with institutional investors, most of whom invest through a private real estate investment trust, and for AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, an open-ended unconsolidated co-investment venture formed in 2007 with institutional investors. This would increase our obligation to make additional capital commitments to these ventures. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, L.P., and the management regulations of AMB Europe Fund I,

FCP-FIS, we are obligated to contribute 20% of the total equity commitments until such time when our total equity commitment is greater than $150.0 million or 150.0 million Euros, respectively, at which time, our obligation is reduced to 10% of the total equity commitments. We expect to fund these contributions with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt or equity issuances or net proceeds from property divestitures, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Captive Insurance Company. In December 2001, we formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (Arcata), which provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the 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 establishes annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Like premiums paid to third-party insurance companies, premiums paid to Arcata may be reimbursed by customers pursuant to specific lease terms. Through this structure, we think that we have more comprehensive insurance coverage at an overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

Potential Contingent and Unknown Liabilities. Contingent and unknown liabilities may include the following:


	•	liabilities for environmental conditions;

	•	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; and

	•	tax liabilities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Standby Letters of Credit. As of September 30, 2008, we had provided approximately $36.5 million in letters of credit, of which $28.5 million were provided under the operating partnership’s $550.0 million unsecured credit facility. The letters of credit were required to be issued under certain ground lease provisions, bank guarantees and other commitments.

Guarantees and Contribution Obligations. Excluding parent guarantees associated with unsecured debt or contribution obligations as discussed in Part I, Item 1: Notes 5 and 7 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” as of September 30, 2008, we had outstanding guarantees and contribution obligations in the aggregate amount of $696.9 million as described below.

As of September 30, 2008, we had outstanding guarantees in the amount of $33.2 million in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2008, we also guaranteed $25.9 million and $177.1 million on outstanding loans on six of our consolidated joint ventures and four of our unconsolidated joint ventures, respectively.

Also, we have entered into contribution agreements with certain of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. These contribution agreements require us to make additional capital contributions to the applicable co-investment venture fund upon certain defaults by the co-investment venture of certain of its debt obligations to the lenders. Such

additional capital contributions will cover all or part of the applicable co-investment venture’s debt obligation and may be greater than our share of the co-investment venture’s debt obligation or the value of our share of any property securing such debt. Our contribution obligations under these agreements will be reduced by the amounts recovered by the lender and the fair market value of the property, if any, used to secure the debt and obtained by the lender upon default. Our potential obligations under these contribution agreements total $260.6 million as of September 30, 2008.

On May 30, 2008, the operating partnership entered into a 142.0 millionEuro 364-daymulti-currency revolving facility agreement (approximately $200.1 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at September 30, 2008) and related guarantee as loan guarantor with our affiliate AMB Fund Management S.à. r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS, certain of our European affiliates, ING Real Estate Finance N.V. and certain of its European affiliates and ING Real Estate Finance N.V. The facility agreement provides that certain of the affiliates of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS may borrow unsecured loans in an aggregate amount of up to 142.0 million Euros (approximately $200.1 million in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate at September 30, 2008) all of which are repayable 364 days after the date of the facility agreement (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts owed under the facility agreement are guaranteed by the operating partnership. AMB Fund Management S.á. r.l. on behalf of AMB Europe Fund I, FCP-FIS has indemnified the operating partnership for all of its obligations under the guarantee.

Performance and Surety Bonds. As of September 30, 2008, we had outstanding performance and surety bonds in an aggregate amount of $11.3 million. These bonds were issued in connection with certain of our development projects and were posted to guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure. Performance and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and infrastructure.

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

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit (“FFOPS”). We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, we consider funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO per share and unit, or FFOPS, to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted average share of our common stock and operating partnership units. We calculate FFO as net income, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We include the gains from development, including those from value-added conversion projects, before depreciation recapture, as a component of FFO. We believe that value-added conversion dispositions are in substance land sales and as such should be included in FFO, consistent with the real estate investment trust industry’s long standing practice to include gains on the sale of land in FFO. However, our interpretation of FFO or FFOPS may not be consistent with the views of others in the real estate investment trust industry, who may consider it to be a divergence from the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition, and may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real estate investment trusts that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

In connection with the formation of a co-investment venture, we may warehouse assets that are acquired with the intent to contribute these assets to the newly formed venture. Some of the warehoused assets may, under certain circumstances, be required to be depreciated under U.S. GAAP. If this circumstance arises, we intend to include in our calculation of FFO gains or losses related to the contribution of previously depreciated real estate to co-investment ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a departure from the current NAREIT definition, we believe such a calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a result of the contributions. To date, we have not included gains or losses from the contribution of previously depreciated warehoused assets in FFO.

We believe that FFO and FFOPS are meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, FFO and FFOPS are supplemental measures of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe that the use of FFO and FFOPS, combined with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. We consider FFO and FFOPS to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO and FFOPS can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and FFOPS are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, these measures do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and FFOPS also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor are FFO or FFOPS necessarily indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements.

The following table reflects the calculation of FFO reconciled from net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

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, and cash-basis SS NOI to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. Properties that are considered part of the same store pool include all properties that were owned, or owned and managed, as the case may be, as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and exclude development properties for both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and developments stabilized after December 31, 2006 (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased or properties that have been substantially complete for at least 12 months). In deriving SS NOI, we define net operating income as rental revenues, including

reimbursements, less property operating expenses, both of which are calculated in accordance with GAAP. Property operating expenses exclude depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. In calculating cash-basis SS NOI, we exclude straight-line rents and amortization of lease intangibles from the calculation of SS NOI. We consider cash-basis SS NOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of our real estate portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides a better measure of actual cash-basis rental growth for ayear-over-yearcomparison. In addition, we believe that SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI help the investing public compare our operating performance with that of other companies. While SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, they do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI also do not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Further, our computation of SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating these measures.

The following table reconciles SS NOI and cash-basis SS NOI from net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates and international exchange rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimize the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of September 30, 2008, we had one outstanding interest rate swap and two outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $572.2 million (in U.S. dollars). See “Financial Instruments” below.

The table below summarizes the maturities and interest rates associated with our fixed and variable rate debt outstanding at book value and estimated fair value before net unamortized debt discounts of $6.5 million as of September 30, 2008 (dollars in thousands):


	2008			2009			2010			2011			2012			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value

Fixed rate debt(1)	$	17,925		$	484,472		$	406,486		$	142,009		$	379,261		$	844,590		$	2,274,743		$	2,198,430
Average interest rate		6.4	%		3.9	%		6.5	%		6.6	%		5.9	%		6.2	%		5.7	%		n/a
Variable rate debt(2)	$	112,536		$	175,710		$	684,482		$	391,032		$	72,658		$	53,582		$	1,490,000		$	1,425,020

(1)		Represents 60.4% of all outstanding debt at September 30, 2008.

(2)		Represents 39.6% of all outstanding debt at September 30, 2008.

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased or decreased by 10%, then the increase or decrease in interest cost on our variable rate debt would be $5.4 million (net of the swap) annually. As of September 30, 2008, the book value and the estimated fair value of our total consolidated debt (both secured and unsecured) was $3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, based on our estimate of current market interest rates.

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, variable rate debt comprised 39.6% and 39.0%, respectively, of all our outstanding debt. Variable rate debt was $1.5 billion and $1.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Financial Instruments. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. For revenues or expenses denominated in non-functional currencies, we may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our derivative financial instruments in effect at September 30, 2008 were one interest rate swap hedging cash flows of variable rate borrowings based on U.S. Libor (USD) and two currency forward contracts hedging intercompany loans.

The following table summarizes our financial instruments as of September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

International Operations. Our exposure to market risk also includes foreign currency exchange rate risk. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States, Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating outside the United States, other than Mexico and certain subsidiaries in Europe, is generally the local currency of the country in which the entity or property is located, mitigating the effect of foreign exchange gains and losses. Our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. We translate income statement accounts using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. The gains resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and totaled $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Our international subsidiaries may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, non-monetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. We also record gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, total unrealized and realized losses from remeasurement and translation included in our results of operations was $0.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, total unrealized and realized losses from remeasurement and translation included in our results of operations was $6.4 million.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief

executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

As required byRule 13a-15(b)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

As of September 30, 2008, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our properties is the subject, the determination of which we anticipate would have a material effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

The risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report onForm 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2007, and any amendments thereto, continue to apply to our business.

If the global market and economic crisis intensifies or continues in the long-term, disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Recent market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions and slower growth through the third quarter of 2008. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and declining real estate market have contributed to increased market volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. In the third quarter of 2008, added concerns fueled by the failure of several large financial institutions and government interventions in the credit markets led to increased market uncertainty and instability in the capital and credit markets. These conditions, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment have contributed to unprecedented levels of volatility in the capital markets. If the global market and economic crisis intensifies or continues in the long-term, disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit have been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads. Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. While we currently believe that we have sufficient working capital and capacity under our credit facilities to continue our business operations as usual in the short-term, continued turbulence in the global markets and economies may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers. If these market conditions continue in the long-term, they may limit our ability, and the ability of our customers, to timely replace maturing liabilities, and access the credit markets to meet liquidity needs.

If the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below our current levels, the borrowing cost of debt under our unsecured credit facilities and certain term loans will increase. In addition, if the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below investment grade, we may be unable to request borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars or Japanese Yen, as applicable, however, the lack of other currency borrowings does not affect our ability to fully draw down under the credit facilities or term loans. In the event the long-term debt ratings of the operating partnership fall below investment grade, we will be unable to exercise our options to extend the term of our credit facilities or certain term loans, and the loss of our ability to borrow in foreign currencies could affect our ability to optimally hedge our borrowings against foreign currency exchange rate changes. In addition, while based on publicly available information regarding our lenders, we currently do not expect to lose borrowing capacity under our existing lines of credit and term loans as a result of a consolidation, merger or other business combination among our lenders, we cannot assure you that continuing long-term disruptions in the global economy and the continuation of tighter credit conditions among, and potential failures of, third party financial institutions as a result of such disruptions will not have an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity and liquidity position. Our access to funds under our credit facilities is dependent on the ability of the lenders that are parties to such facilities to meet their funding commitments to us. If we do not have sufficient cash flows and income from our operations to meet our financial commitments and those lenders are not able to meet their funding commitments to us, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Certain of our third party indebtedness is held by our consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures. In the event that our joint venture partner is unable to meet its obligations under our joint venture agreements or the third party debt agreements, we may decide to pay our joint venture partner’s portion of debt to avoid foreclosure on the mortgaged property or permit the lender to foreclose on the mortgaged property to meet the joint venture’s debt obligations. However, in either case, we would face a loss of income and asset value on the property.

In the event that we do not have sufficient cash available to us through our operations to continue operating our business as usual, we may need to find alternative ways to increase our liquidity. Such alternatives may include, without limitation, divesting ourselves of properties, whether or not they otherwise meet our strategic objectives to keep in the long-term, at less than optimal terms; issuing and selling our debt and equity in public or private transactions under less than optimal conditions; entering into leases with our customers at lower rental rates or less than optimal terms; or entering into lease renewals with our existing customers without an increase in rental rates at turnover. There can be no assurance, however, that such alternative ways to increase our liquidity will be available to us. Additionally, taking such measures to increase our liquidity may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Item 2.	Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In December 2007, our board of directors approved a two-year common stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. This plan expires on December 31, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate price of $87.7 million at a weighted average price of $49.64 per share. We have the authorization to repurchase up to an additional $112.3 million of our common stock under this program.
