PART I

Item 1.     Business

General

     AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, acquires, develops and operates industrial property in key distribution markets throughout North America, in Europe and in Asia. We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Increasingly, our properties are designed for customers who value the efficient movement of goods in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with close proximity to airports, seaports and major freeway systems. We currently serve 2,550 customers in a portfolio (owned, managed or under development) totaling 992 buildings, encompassing approximately 94.6 million square feet (8.8 million square meters), in 30 global markets.

     Through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, we are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion and development of primarily industrial properties in target markets in North America, in Europe and in Asia. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the “operating partnership.” As of December 31, 2002, we owned an approximate 94.5% 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 and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the operating partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMB Property Corporation, the operating partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include the operating partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.

     Our investment strategy targets customers whose businesses are growing at a faster rate than world gross domestic product (GDP) — specifically, participants in global trade. To serve the facilities needs of these customers, we invest in major markets: transportation hubs and gateways in the U.S., and targeted distribution and airport markets internationally. Our target markets are characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When measured by annual base rents, approximately 70% of these assets are concentrated in eight U.S. hub and gateway distribution markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle.

     By focusing on an investment strategy that benefits from high customer demand and limited competition from new supply, we believe that over time net operating income will grow and our property values will increase. We work to implement this strategy by investing in locations that have geographic or regulatory supply constraints, high barriers to entry and close proximity to large population centers, and in buildings with customer-preferred characteristics.

     Our portfolio is comprised of strategically located industrial buildings in in-fill submarkets; in-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development. A substantial majority of our owned or managed buildings function as High Throughput Distribution®, or HTD® facilities; buildings designed to quickly distribute our customers’ products, rather than store them. Our investment focus on HTD assets is based on the secular change toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains.

     HTD facilities have a variety of characteristics that allow the rapid transport of goods from point-to-point; examples include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. These facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure such as major airports and seaports. We believe that these building characteristics represent an important success factor for time-sensitive tenants such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies.

     As of December 31, 2002, we owned and operated (exclusive of properties that we managed for third parties) 904 industrial buildings and nine retail and other properties, totaling approximately 85.2 million

2


 

rentable square feet, located in 28 markets throughout North America and in France. As of December 31, 2002, our industrial and retail properties were 94.6% and 88.6% leased, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, through our subsidiary, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, we also managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial buildings and retail centers, totaling approximately 1.7 million rentable square feet, on behalf of various clients. In addition, as of December 31, 2002, we had investments in 43 industrial buildings, totaling approximately 5.5 million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated joint ventures.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had two retail centers, four industrial properties and two development properties that we are holding for divestiture. Over the next few years, we intend to dispose of non-strategic assets and redeploy the resulting capital into industrial properties in supply-constrained markets in the U.S. and internationally that better fit our current investment focus.

     We are self-administered and self-managed and expect that we have qualified and will continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ending December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We also maintain regional offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As of December 31, 2002, we employed 184 individuals, 141 at our San Francisco headquarters, 42 in our Boston office and one in our Amsterdam office. Our website address is www.amb.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are available on our website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Co-investment Joint Ventures

     Through the operating partnership, we enter into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide us with an additional source of capital to fund certain acquisitions, development projects and renovation projects, as well as private capital income, which enhances our returns. As of December 31, 2002, we had investments in five co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.6 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Acquisition, Development and Disposition Activity

     During 2002, we invested $403.3 million in operating properties, consisting of 43 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 5.4 million square feet, and a parking lot adjacent to Los Angeles International Airport. Our acquisitions included the investment of $166.5 million in 31 buildings, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet, through two of our co-investment joint ventures.

     During 2002, we completed industrial developments valued at $135.4 million, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet. We also initiated eight new industrial development projects valued at $90.6 million, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet, including new international industrial development projects valued at $50.3 million, aggregating approximately 1.1 million square feet.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had in our development pipeline ten industrial projects, which will total approximately 1.7 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $106.8 million upon completion and three development projects available for sale, which will total approximately 0.6 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $49.1 million upon completion. As of December 31, 2002,

3


 

we and our partners had funded an aggregate of $92.8 million and needed to fund an estimated additional $63.1 million in order to complete current and planned projects.

     During 2002, we disposed of 58 industrial buildings, two retail buildings, and an undeveloped retail land parcel, aggregating approximately 5.7 million rentable square feet, for an aggregate price of $244.0 million. During 2002, we also sold $76.9 million in operating properties, consisting of 15 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet, to one of our co-investment joint ventures. During 2002, we also completed and sold six buildings developed as part of our development-for-sale program for a net gain of $1.0 million.

Operating Strategy

     We base our operating strategy on extensive operational and service offerings, including in-house acquisitions, development, redevelopment, asset management, leasing, finance, accounting and market research. We leverage our expertise across a large customer base and have long-standing relationships with entrepreneurial real estate management and development firms in our target markets, our Strategic Alliance Partners®.

     We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by forging alliances with service providers in each target market. We believe that this strategy results in a mutually beneficial relationship as these alliance partners provide us with high-quality, local market expertise and intelligence. We, in turn, contribute value to the alliance relationship through national and global customer relationship development, industry knowledge, perspective and financial strength.

     While our alliance relationships give us local market benefits, we retain flexibility to focus on our core competencies: developing and executing our strategic approach to real estate investment and management and raising private capital to finance growth and enhance returns to stockholders.

Growth Strategies

     Growth Through Operations

     We seek to generate internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space. We do this by seeking to maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties and by seeking to control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of owning, operating and growing a large global portfolio. As of December 31, 2002, our industrial properties and retail centers were 94.6% leased and 88.6% leased, respectively. During 2002, average industrial base rental rates (on a cash basis) decreased by 1.0% from the expiring rent for that space, on leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements and percentage rents. During 2002, we increased cash-basis same-store net operating income by 3.5% on our industrial properties. Since our initial public offering in November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases in industrial base rental rates (on a cash basis) of 14.5%; and we have experienced average quarterly increases in industrial same-store net operating income (on a cash basis) of 6.5%. While we believe that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance.

     While occupancy levels in our industrial portfolio were similar in 2002 and 2001, rents on lease renewals and rollovers were lower in 2002 as the general contraction in business activity nationwide caused a reduction in demand for industrial warehouse facilities. This reduction in demand was evidenced by two significant factors: decreases in national industrial occupancy levels and negative net absorption of industrial facility space. Specifically, according to Torto Wheaton Research, at December 31, 2001, national industrial occupancy was 90.2%; by December 31, 2002, national occupancy fell to 88.8%. As reported by Torto Wheaton Research, national net absorption of industrial space (the change in the amount of square footage leased in existing and newly constructed industrial properties) was positive from 1989 through 2000. By contrast, Torto Wheaton Research reported that net absorption was negative by 152 million square feet in 2001 and 34 million square feet in 2002. In 2002, these factors combined to reduce market rents for industrial properties by approximately 15% to 20% nationally from peak levels at the beginning of 2001. While the level

4


 

of rental rate reduction varied by market, we strove to maintain high occupancy by pricing lease renewals and new leases with sensitivity to local market conditions.

     Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment

     We believe that our significant acquisition experience, our alliance-based operating strategy and our extensive network of property acquisition sources will continue to provide opportunities for external growth. We have forged relationships with third-party local property management firms through our Management Alliance Program®. We believe that these alliances will create acquisition opportunities, as such managers market properties on behalf of sellers. Our operating structure also enables us to acquire properties through our UPREIT Alliance Program® in exchange for limited partnership units in the operating partnership, thereby enhancing our attractiveness to owners and developers seeking to transfer properties on a tax-deferred basis. In addition to acquisitions, we seek to redeploy capital from non-strategic assets into properties that better fit our current investment focus.

     We are generally in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, acquisitions of large multi-property portfolios and acquisitions of other real estate companies. There can be no assurance that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include undistributed cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners.

     Growth Through Development

     We believe that renovation and expansion of properties and development of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue to provide us with attractive opportunities for increased cash flow and a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of fully-leased, renovated properties. Value-added properties are typically characterized as properties with available space or near-term leasing exposure, undeveloped land acquired in connection with another property that provides an opportunity for development, or properties that are well located but require redevelopment or renovation. Value-added properties require significant management attention or capital investment to maximize their return. We believe that we have developed the in-house expertise to create value through acquiring and managing value-added properties and believe that our global market presence and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on these opportunities. Through our Development Alliance Program®, we have established strategic alliances with global and regional developers to enhance our development capabilities.

     The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Several of our officers have extensive experience in real estate development, both with us and with national development firms. We generally pursue development projects in joint ventures with our Development Alliance Partners. This way, we leverage the development skill, access to opportunities and capital of such developers, and we eliminate the need and expense of an extensive in-house development staff. Under a typical joint venture agreement with a Development Alliance Partner, we would fund 95% of the construction costs and our partner would fund 5%; however, in certain cases we may own as little as 50% or as much as 98% of the joint venture. Upon completion, we generally would purchase our partner’s interest in the joint venture. We may also structure developments where we would own 100% of the asset with an incentive development fee to be paid upon completion to our development partner.

     Growth Through Co-Investments

     We co-invest with third-party partners (some of whom may be clients of AMB Capital Partners, LLC, to the extent such partners commit new investment capital) through partnerships, limited liability companies or

5


 

joint ventures. We currently use a co-investment formula with each third party whereby we will own at least a 20% interest in all ventures. In general, we control all significant operating and investment decisions of our co-investment entities. We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments and private capital income; however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so. During 2002, we sold $76.9 million in operating properties, consisting of 15 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet, to one of our co-investment joint ventures, AMB-SGP, L.P. We recognized a gain of $3.3 million related to this sale, representing the portion of the sold properties acquired by the third-party co-investor. We also sold 30% of our interest in AMB Partners II, L.P., our co-investment joint venture with the City and County of San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System, to our co-investment joint venture partner; we now own 20% of AMB Partners II, L.P. We recognized a gain of $6.3 million related to this sale.

     Growth Through Developments for Sale

     The operating partnership, through its taxable REIT subsidiaries, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as our development projects available for sale to third parties. Such development properties include value-added conversion projects and build-to-sell projects. During 2002, we completed and sold six value-added conversion buildings for a net gain of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2002, we were developing three projects for sale to third parties. During 2001, we completed and sold two value-added conversion projects for a net gain of $13.2 million.

     Growth Through Global Expansion

     Over the next three to five years, we expect to have from 10% to 15% of our assets invested in international markets. Our Mexican target markets currently include Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Our European target markets currently include Paris, Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt and Madrid. Our Asian target markets currently include Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In 2002, our first year of international operation, we earned $0.7 million in rental revenues from our Mexico City, Guadalajara and Paris properties. There are many factors that could cause our entry into target markets and future capital allocation to differ from our current expectations, which are discussed under the subheading “Our International Growth is Subject to Special Political and Monetary Risks” and elsewhere under the heading “Business Risks” in this report.

     We believe that expansion into target international markets represents a natural extension of our well-established strategy to invest in industrial markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving the global supply chain. Our expansion strategy mirrors our domestic focus on in-fill locations, which are supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development; and, land, as a high percentage of total asset value, becoming more valuable for higher and better use over time. Our international investments will extend our offering of High Throughput Distribution facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose business is derived from world air-cargo flows, a sector expected to grow significantly faster than world GDP growth. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers.

     We believe that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, diligent underwriting of markets and investment considerations and our strategic alliance partnerships with knowledgeable, local-market property brokers, developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally.

Item 2.     Properties

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

     As of December 31, 2002, we owned 904 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 84.2 million rentable square feet, located in 28 markets throughout North America and France. Our industrial properties accounted for $501.2 million, or 97.7%, of our total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2002. Our industrial properties were 94.6% leased to over 2,300 customers, the largest of which accounted for no more than 2.6% of our annualized base rent from our industrial properties. See “Item 14. Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for segment information related to our operations.

     Property Characteristics.Our industrial properties, which consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers, are typically comprised of multiple buildings. The following table identifies type and characteristics of our industrial buildings and each type’s percentage of our total portfolio based on square footage at December 31:

 On-tarmac or airport land for transfer of air cargo goods  2.6%   1.6% 
Office
 Single or multi-customer, used strictly for office  1.3%   1.5% 

     Lease Terms. Our industrial properties are typically subject to lease on a “triple net basis,” in which customers pay their proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance and operating costs, or are subject to leases on a “modified gross basis,” in which customers pay expenses over certain threshold levels. In addition, most of our leases include fixed rental increases or CPI rental increases. Lease terms typically range from three to ten years, with an average of six years, excluding renewal options. However, the majority of our industrial leases do not include renewal options.

     Overview of Major Target Markets.Our industrial properties are located near key passenger and air cargo airports, key interstate highways, and seaports in major domestic metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle. Our international industrial facilities are located in major distributions markets including Mexico City, Guadalajara and Paris. We believe our industrial properties’ strategic location, transportation network and infrastructure, and large consumer and manufacturing bases support strong demand for industrial space.

     Within these metropolitan areas, our industrial properties are concentrated in locations with limited new construction opportunities within established, relatively large submarkets, which we believe should provide a higher rate of occupancy and rent growth than properties located elsewhere. These in-fill locations are typically near major passenger and air cargo facilities, seaports or convenient to major highways and rail lines, and are proximate to a diverse labor pool. There is typically broad demand for industrial space in these centrally located submarkets due to a diverse mix of industries and types of industrial uses, including warehouse distribution, light assembly and manufacturing. We generally avoid locations at the periphery of metropolitan areas where there are fewer constraints to the supply of additional industrial properties.

Properties Held Through Joint Ventures, Limited Liability Companies, and Partnerships

     Consolidated

     As of December 31, 2002, we held interests in joint ventures, limited liability companies and partnerships with third parties, which are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Such investments are consolidated because we own a majority interest or exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers and changes in financing. Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, we and the other party to the joint venture may be required to make additional capital contributions and, subject to certain limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt. Such agreements also impose certain restrictions on the transfer of joint venture interests by us or the other party to the joint venture and provide certain rights to us or the other party to the joint venture to sell its interest to the joint venture or to the other joint venture partner on terms specified in the agreement. See “Item 14. Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Secured Debt

     As of December 31, 2002, we had $1.3 billion of indebtedness, net of unamortized premiums, secured by deeds of trust on 104 properties. As of December 31, 2002, the total gross investment value of those properties secured by debt was $2.6 billion. Of the $1.3 billion of secured indebtedness, $893.1 million was joint venture debt secured by properties with a gross investment value of $1.6 billion. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 14. Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report. We believe that as of December 31, 2002, the value of the properties securing the respective obligations in each case exceeded the principal amount of the outstanding obligations.

(3) Funds from Operations, or FFO, is defined as income from operations before minority interest plus real estate depreciation, discontinued operations’ FFO and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of the FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, less minority interests’ pro rata share of the FFO of consolidated joint ventures and preferred stock dividends. In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust White Paper on funds from operations, we include the effects of straight-line rents in funds from operations. We believe that FFO is an appropriate measure of performance for a real estate investment trust because it is widely used by investors and analysts. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. Further, FFO as disclosed by other real estate investment trusts may not be comparable. For a presentation of and a quantitative reconciliation of FFO with the most directly comparable financial measure to FFO calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the supplemental earnings table in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 7.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     You should read the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements. Statements contained in this discussion that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements relate to our future performance and plans, results of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and operating improvements and costs. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or the negative of these words and phrases, or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely upon them as predictions of future events. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them.

     The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

 • defaults or non-renewal of leases by customers;
 
 • increased interest rates and operating costs;
 
 • our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;
 
 • difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions;
 
 • our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;
 
 • our failure to divest of properties that we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any such divestitures;
 
 • risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to these activities);
 
 • our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
 
 • environmental uncertainties;
 
 • risks related to natural disasters;
 
 • financial market fluctuations;
 
 • changes in real estate and zoning laws;
 
 • increases in real property tax rates; and
 
 • risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks.

     Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those other risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Business Risks” in this report. 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.

GENERAL

     We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in connection with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997, and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with our initial tax return for the year

21


 

ended December 31, 1997. AMB Property Corporation and the operating partnership were formed shortly before the consummation of our initial public offering.

     We generate revenue primarily from rent received from customers under long-term operating leases at our properties, including reimbursements from customers for certain operating costs and our private capital business. In addition, our growth is, in part, dependent on our ability to increase occupancy rates or increase rental rates at our properties and our ability to continue the acquisition and development of additional properties. Although the weak economy has decreased customer demand for new space and has limited or in some cases lowered rent growth, many types of investors are acquiring industrial real estate. In 2002, we capitalized on this opportunity by accelerating our portfolio repositioning program through the disposition of properties. Our income would be adversely affected if a significant number of customers were unable to pay rent or if we were unable to rent our industrial space on favorable terms. Certain significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) generally do not decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property. Moreover, as the general partner of the operating partnership, we generally will be liable for all of the operating partnership’s unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations, including the operating partnership’s obligations as the general partner of the co-investment joint ventures. Any such liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

     Investments in Real Estate.Investments in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying amount of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying amount of our long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the assumptions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings.

     Rental Revenues. We record rental revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If customers fail to make contractual lease payments that are greater than our bad-debt reserves, security deposits and letters of credit, then we may have to recognize additional bad debt charges in future periods. Each period we review our outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rents, for doubtful accounts and provide allowances as needed. Historically, our bad debt expense has been between 50 and 150 basis points of total revenues.

22


 

     Consolidated Joint Ventures.Minority interests represent the limited partnership interests in the operating partnership and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 33.8 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because we own a majority interest or we exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing.

     Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.We have non-controlling limited partnership interests in four separate unconsolidated joint ventures. These investments are not consolidated because we do not exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing. We account for the joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.

     Stock-based Compensation Expense.In 2002, we adopted the expense recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We value stock options issued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognize this value as an expense over the period in which the options vest. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is retroactively applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. Prior to 2002, we followed the intrinsic method set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. During 2002, we awarded 2.0 million stock options to employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we will recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year vesting periods. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

     REIT Compliance. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1997. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust, we must derive at least 95% of our gross income in any year from qualifying sources. In addition, we must pay dividends to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding capital gains) and must satisfy specified asset tests on a quarterly basis. It is our current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on net income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a REIT, we still may be subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be required to pay federal and state income tax on the net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

     The analysis below includes changes attributable to acquisitions, development activity, divestitures and the changes resulting from properties that we owned during both the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding development properties prior to being stabilized (generally defined as 90% leased or 12 months after we receive a certificate of occupancy for the building). We refer to these properties as the same store properties. For the comparison between the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the same store industrial properties consisted of properties aggregating approximately 68.0 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2002 consisted of 43 buildings, aggregating approximately 5.4 million square feet. The properties acquired during 2001 consisted of 65 buildings, aggregating approximately 6.8 million square feet. In 2002, property divestitures consisted of 58 industrial buildings and two retail centers, aggregating approximately 5.7 million square feet. In 2001, property divestitures consisted of 24 industrial and two retail buildings, aggregating approximately 3.2 million square feet. Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the acquisition of additional properties and dispositions. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

     While occupancy levels in our industrial portfolio were similar in 2002 and 2001, rents on lease renewals and rollovers were lower in 2002 as the general contraction in business activity nationwide caused a reduction

in demand for industrial warehouse facilities. This reduction in demand was evidenced by two significant factors: decreases in national industrial occupancy levels and negative net absorption of industrial facility space. Specifically, according to Torto Wheaton Research, at December 31, 2001, national industrial occupancy was 90.2%; by December 31, 2002, national occupancy fell to 88.8%. As reported by Torto Wheaton Research, national net absorption of industrial space (the change in the amount of square footage leased in existing and newly constructed industrial properties) was positive from 1989 through 2000. By contrast, Torto Wheaton Research reported that net absorption was negative by 152.0 million square feet in 2001 and 34.0 million square feet in 2002. These factors combined to reduce market rents for industrial properties by approximately 15% to 20% nationally from peak levels at the beginning of 2001. While the level of rental rate reduction varied by market, we strove to maintain high occupancy by pricing lease renewals and new leases with sensitivity to local market conditions.

     The growth in rental revenues in same store properties resulted primarily from increased lease termination fees, fixed rent increases on existing leases and reimbursement of expenses, partially offset by lower average occupancies. Industrial same store occupancy was 94.6% at December 31, 2002, and 95.0% at December 31, 2001. Year-to-date, the same store rent decrease on industrial renewals and rollovers (cash basis) was (1.4%) on 13.8 million square feet leased. The increase in straight-line rents was partially offset by write-offs associated with lease terminations. In 2002, lease termination fees increased $9.5 million, net of straight-line rent adjustments and lease cost and tenant improvement write-downs, over 2001.

     The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the issuance of additional unsecured senior debt securities and an increase in secured debt balances, partially offset by decreased borrowings on our unsecured credit facility. The secured debt issuances were primarily for our co-investment joint ventures’ properties. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increase in our net investment in real estate. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the consolidation of AMB Investment Management, Inc. (predecessor-in-interest to AMB Capital Partners, LLC) and Headlands Realty Corporation on May 31, 2001. Prior to May 31, 2001, general and administrative expenses did not include expenses incurred by two unconsolidated preferred stock subsidiaries, Headlands Realty Corporation and AMB Investment Management, Inc. General and administrative expenses would have been $39.4 million had the subsidiaries been consolidated beginning January 1, 2001. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also due to increased stock-based compensation expense, additional staffing and expenses for new initiatives, including our international expansion and income taxes for our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

     In 2001, we recognized $20.8 million of losses on investments in other companies, including our investment in Webvan Group, Inc. and other technology-related companies. The loss reflects a 100% write-down of the investments. No gains or losses were recognized in 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

 • cash flow from operations;
 
 • borrowings under our unsecured credit facility;
 
 • other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
 
 • proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries);
 
 • net proceeds from divestitures of properties; and
 
 • private capital from co-investment partners.

     We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations, borrowings available under our unsecured credit facility and our ability to access private and public debt and equity capital, are adequate for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

Capital Resources

     Property Divestitures.During 2002, we divested ourselves of 58 industrial buildings, two retail centers and an undeveloped retail land parcel for an aggregate price of $244.0 million, with a resulting net gain of $9.6 million. During 2002, we also completed and sold six buildings developed as part of our development-for-sale program for a net gain of $1.0 million.

     Properties Held for Divestiture.We have decided to divest ourselves of two retail centers, four industrial properties and two development properties, which are not in our core markets or which do not meet our current strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. As of December 31, 2002, the net carrying value of the properties held for divestiture was $107.9 million.

     Co-investment Joint Ventures.We consolidate the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our five co-investment joint ventures. Our five co-investment joint ventures are engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management and, in some cases, the renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings in target markets nationwide. We consolidate these joint ventures for financial reporting purposes because we are the sole managing general partner and, as a result, control all major operating decisions. Third-party equity interests in the joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2002, we owned approximately 28.2 million square feet of our properties through these five co-investment joint ventures and 5.6 million square feet of our properties through our other consolidated joint ventures. We may make additional investments through these joint ventures or new joint ventures in the future and presently plan to do so.

     During 2002, we sold $76.9 million in operating properties, consisting of 15 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet, to one of our co-investment joint ventures, AMB-SGP, L.P. We recognized a gain of $3.3 million related to this sale, representing the portion of the sold properties acquired by the third-party co-investor. We also sold 30% of our interest in AMB Partners II, L.P. to our co-investment joint venture partner, we now own 20% of AMB Partners II, L.P. We recognized a gain of $6.3 million related to this sale.

     Equity. We have authorized for issuance 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which the following series were designated as of December 31, 2002: 4,600,000 shares of Series A preferred; 1,300,000 shares of Series B preferred; 1,595,337 shares of Series D preferred; 220,440 shares of Series E preferred; 267,439 shares of Series F preferred; 840,000 shares of Series H preferred; 510,000 shares of Series I preferred; 800,000 shares of Series J preferred; and 800,000 shares of Series K preferred. On July 31, 2002, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased 130,000 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 20,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor. We redeemed the units for an aggregate cost of $7.1 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends and a redemption discount of $0.4 million.

     On April 17, 2002, the operating partnership issued and sold 800,000 7.95% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly in arrears. The Series K Preferred Units are redeemable by the operating partnership on or after April 17, 2007, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series K Preferred Units are exchangeable at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of our Series K Preferred Stock. The operating partnership used the net proceeds of $39.0 million for general corporate purposes, which included the partial repayment of indebtedness and the acquisition and development of additional properties.

     During 2002, we redeemed 122,640 common limited partnership units of the operating partnership for shares of our common stock.

     In December 2001, our board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of our common and preferred stock. In December 2002, our board of directors increased the repurchase program to $200.0 million. The current stock repurchase program expires in December 2003 and as of December 31, 2002, $130.6 million of repurchase capacity remained under our current stock repurchase program. During 2002, we repurchased 2,651,600 shares of our common stock for $69.4 million, including commissions. In July 2002, we also repurchased 4,200 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate cost of $0.1 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

     Debt. In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the deployment of capital through market cycles, we presently intend to operate with a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio (our share) of approximately 45% or less. As of December 31, 2002, our share of total debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was 37.7%. Additionally, we currently intend to manage our capitalization in order to maintain an investment grade rating on our senior unsecured debt. In spite of these policies, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our board of directors could alter or eliminate these policies or circumstances could arise that could render us unable to comply with these policies.

     As of December 31, 2002, the aggregate principal amount of our secured debt was $1.3 billion, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $9.8 million. Of the $1.3 billion of secured debt, $0.9 billion is secured by properties in our joint ventures. The secured debt is generally non-recourse and bears interest at rates varying from 3.0% to 10.4% per annum (with a weighted average rate of 7.3%) and final maturity dates ranging from January 2003 to June 2023. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for seven loans with an aggregate principal amount of $65.6 million as of December 31, 2002, which bear interest at variable rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5% as of December 31, 2002). Over time, we intend to repay the secured debt on our 100%-owned assets and may prepay if market conditions warrant.

     In May 2002, the operating partnership commenced a medium-term note program for the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes, which will be guaranteed by us. As of December 31, 2002, the operating partnership had issued no medium-term notes under this program.

     In August 2000, the operating partnership commenced a medium-term note program for the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes, which are guaranteed by us. On January 14, 2002, the operating partnership completed the program when it issued and sold the remaining $20.0 million of the notes to Lehman Brothers, Inc., as principal. We have guaranteed the notes, which mature on January 17, 2007, and bear interest at 5.90% per annum. The operating partnership used the net proceeds of $19.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness and to acquire and develop additional properties.

     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.

     Credit Facilities.In December 2002, the operating partnership renewed its $500.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. We guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility matures in December 2005, has a one-year extension option and is currently subject to a 20 basis point annual facility fee. Borrowings under our credit facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 60 basis points. Both the facility fee and the interest rate are based on our credit rating, which is currently investment grade. However, if our credit rating falls below investment grade, then our facility fee and interest rate may increase. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $150.0 million may be drawn in either British pounds sterling, euros or yen, provided that such currency is readily available and freely transferable and convertible to U.S. dollars. The Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service reports LIBOR for such currency in interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. The operating partnership has the ability to increase available borrowings to $700.0 million by adding additional banks to the facility or obtaining the agreement of existing banks to increase their commitments. We use our unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions and for general working capital requirements. Monthly debt service payments on our credit facility are interest only. The total amount available under our credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility, generally the value of our unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance on our unsecured credit facility was $95.0 million and the

30


 

remaining amount available was $379.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit (excluding the $200.0 million of potential additional capacity).

     In July 2001, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P. obtained a $150.0 million credit facility secured by the unfunded capital commitments of the investors in AMB Institutional Alliance REIT II, Inc. and AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P. Borrowings currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance was $45.5 million and the remaining amount available was $31.2 million, net of outstanding letters of credit and capital contributions from third-party investors.

     Mortgage Receivables.In September 2000, we sold a retail center located in Southern California. We carried a 9.5% mortgage note secured by the retail center in the principal amount of $74.0 million, due September 30, 2002. On July 3, 2002, we received a full repayment of the mortgage. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, we also hold a mortgage loan receivable on AMB Pier One, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. The note bears interest at 13.0% and matures in May 2026. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance on the note was $13.1 million.

     Liquidity

     As of December 31, 2002, we had $117.2 million in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and $379.0 million of additional available borrowings under our credit facility. We also had $31.2 million of additional available borrowings under our AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P. credit facility. To fund acquisitions, development activities and capital expenditures, and to provide for general working capital requirements, we intend to use:

 • cash flow from operations;
 
 • borrowings under our unsecured credit facility;
 
 • other forms of secured and unsecured financing;
 
 • proceeds from any future debt or equity offerings by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries);
 
 • net proceeds from divestitures of properties; and
 
 • private capital from our co-investment partners.

The unavailability of capital would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

     Our board of directors declared a regular cash dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2002, of $0.41 per share of common stock and the operating partnership declared a regular cash distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2002, of $0.41 per common unit. The dividends and distributions were payable on January 6, 2003, to stockholders and unitholders of record on December 20, 2002. The Series A, B, E, F, J and K preferred stock and unit dividends and distributions were payable on January 15, 2003, to stockholders and unitholders of record on January 3, 2003. The Series D, H and I preferred unit distributions were payable on December 26, 2002. The following table sets forth the dividends and distributions paid or payable per share or unit for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000:

(1) On July 31, 2002, AMB Property II, L.P., one of our subsidiaries, repurchased 130,000 of its 7.95% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units and all 20,000 of its outstanding 7.95% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Limited Partnership Units from a single institutional investor. On July, 31, 2002, AMB Property II, L.P. paid a distribution, which accrued during the period from July 15, 2002 to July 31, 2002, of $0.155 per unit on the 130,000 Series F preferred units that were redeemed.

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

     Capital Commitments

     Developments. In addition to recurring capital expenditures, which consist of building improvements and leasing costs incurred to renew or re-tenant space, as of December 31, 2002, we are developing ten projects representing a total estimated investment of $106.8 million upon completion and three development projects available for sale representing a total estimated investment of $49.1 million upon completion. Of this total, $92.8 million had been funded as of December 31, 2002, and an estimated $63.1 million is required to complete current and planned projects. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, debt or equity issuances and net proceeds from property divestitures, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow.

     Acquisitions. During 2002, we invested $403.3 million in 43 operating industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 5.4 million rentable square feet, and a parking lot adjacent to Los Angeles International

34


 

Airport. We funded these acquisitions and initiated development and renovation projects through private capital contributions, borrowings under our credit facility, cash, debt issuances and net proceeds from property divestitures.

     Lease Commitments.We have entered into operating ground leases on certain land parcels, primarily on-tarmac facilities, and office space with remaining lease terms from one to 38 years. Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2002, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

     These operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related leases.

     Captive Insurance Company.We have responded to recent trends towards increasing costs and decreasing coverage availability in the insurance markets by obtaining higher-deductible property insurance from third-party insurers and by forming a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd., in December 2001. Arcata National Insurance Ltd. provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the increased deductible under the third-party policies. We capitalized Arcata National Insurance Ltd. in accordance with regulatory requirements. Arcata National Insurance Ltd. established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience of our properties. Annually, we engage an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata National Insurance Ltd. have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, are less than premiums collected, the excess will be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses, differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, we believe that we have been able to obtain insurance for our portfolio with more comprehensive coverage at a projected overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

     Potential Unknown Liabilities.Unknown liabilities may include the following:

 • liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions;
 
 • claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to our formation transactions that had not been asserted prior to our formation transactions;
 
 • accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
 
 • tax liabilities; and
 
 • claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

     We have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations, guarantees or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Supplemental Earning Measure

     We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP , is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, the real estate industry has adopted a supplemental earnings measure, funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), that is widely used by investors and analysts. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating liquidity or operating performance. Further, FFO as disclosed by other real estate investment trusts may not be comparable.

     FFO is defined as income from operations before minority interest plus real estate depreciation, discontinued operations’ FFO and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures, less minority interests’ pro rata share of FFO of consolidated joint ventures and perpetual preferred stock dividends. In accordance with the NAREIT White Paper on FFO, we include the effects of straight-line rents in FFO. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.

BUSINESS RISKS

     Our operations involve various risks that could have adverse consequences to us. These risks include, among others:

General Real Estate Risks

There are Factors Outside of Our Control that Affect the Performance and Value of Our Properties.

     Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the related properties as well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected. Income from, and the value of, our properties may be adversely affected by the general economic climate, local conditions, such as oversupply of industrial space or a reduction in demand for industrial space, the attractiveness of our properties to potential customers, competition from other properties, our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and an increase in operating costs. Periods of economic slowdown or recession in the United States and in other countries, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or public perception that any of these events may occur, would result in a general decrease in rents or an increased occurrence of defaults under existing leases, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

     Our properties are currently concentrated predominantly in the industrial real estate sector. Our concentration in a certain property type exposes us to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our portfolio also included other property types. As a result of such concentration, economic downturns in the industrial real estate sector could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. In addition, revenues from properties and real estate values are also affected by factors such as the cost of compliance with regulations, the potential for liability under applicable laws (including changes in tax laws), interest rate levels and the availability of financing. Our income would be adversely affected if a significant number of customers were unable to pay rent or if we were unable to rent our industrial space on favorable terms. Certain significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and maintenance costs) generally do not decline when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property. Future terrorist attacks in the United States may result in declining economic activity, which could harm the demand for and the value of our properties. To the extent that our customers are impacted by future attacks, their businesses similarly could be adversely affected, including their ability to continue to honor their existing leases.

We May Be Unable to Renew Leases or Relet Space as Leases Expire.

     We are subject to the risks that leases may not be renewed, space may not be relet, or the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Leases on a total of 15.4% of our industrial properties (based on annualized base rent) as of December 31, 2002, will expire on or prior to December 31, 2003. In addition, numerous properties compete with our properties in attracting customers to lease space, particularly with respect to retail centers. The number of competitive commercial properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space in our properties and on the rents that we are able to charge. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and our ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be adversely affected if we are unable to promptly relet or renew the leases for all or a substantial portion of expiring leases, if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting is significantly lower than expected, or if our reserves for these purposes prove inadequate.

Real Estate Investments are Illiquid.

     Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions is limited. The limitations in the Internal Revenue Code and related

38


 

regulations on a real estate investment trust holding property for sale may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting dividends to our stockholders. The relative illiquidity of our holdings and Internal Revenue Code prohibitions and related regulations could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and our ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

A Significant Number of Our Properties are Located in California.

     Our industrial properties located in California as of December 31, 2002, represented 28.4% of the aggregate square footage of our industrial operating properties as of December 31, 2002, and 33.9% of our industrial annualized base rent. Annualized base rent means the monthly contractual amount under existing leases as of December 31, 2002, multiplied by 12. This amount excludes expense reimbursements and rental abatements. Our revenue from, and the value of, our properties located in California may be affected by a number of factors, including local real estate conditions (such as oversupply of or reduced demand for industrial properties) and the local economic climate. Business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics, and other factors may adversely impact the local economic climate. A downturn in California’s economy, fiscal situation or real estate conditions could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. Certain of our properties are also subject to possible loss from seismic activity. See “Some Potential Losses are not Covered by Insurance.”

Some Potential Losses are not Covered by Insurance.

     We carry commercial liability, property and rental loss insurance covering all properties owned and managed by us, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances given relative risks, the cost of such coverage and industry practice. Certain losses such as losses due to terrorism, windstorms, floods or seismic activity may be insured subject to certain limitations, including large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits. Although we have obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are commercially reasonable, it is not certain that we will be able to renew coverage or collect under such policies. From time to time, we evaluate the amount of earthquake coverage that we carry for all properties owned and managed by us, to assess whether, in our good faith discretion, the coverage is adequate. We may incur material losses in excess of insurance proceeds and we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, there are certain losses that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against them, including losses due to riots or acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the properties and, in the case of debt, which is with recourse to us, we would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the properties. Moreover, as the general partner of the operating partnership, we generally will be liable for all of the operating partnership’s unsatisfied obligations other than non-recourse obligations, including any obligations incurred by the operating partnership as the general partner of the co-investment joint ventures. Any such liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

     A number of our properties are located in areas that are known to be subject to earthquake activity, including California where, as of December 31, 2002, 295 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 23.9 million square feet (representing 28.4% of our industrial operating properties based on aggregate square footage and 33.9% based on industrial annualized base rent), are located. We carry replacement-cost earthquake insurance on all of our properties located in areas historically subject to seismic activity, subject to coverage limitations and deductibles that we believe are commercially reasonable. This insurance coverage also applies to the properties managed by AMB Capital Partners, LLC, with a single aggregate policy limit and deductible applicable to those properties and our properties. Through an annual analysis prepared by outside consultants, we evaluate our earthquake insurance coverage in light of current industry practice and determine the appropriate amount of earthquake insurance to carry, which we believe is commercially

39


 

reasonable. We may incur material losses in excess of insurance proceeds and we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

We are Subject to Risks and Liabilities In Connection With Properties Owned Through Joint Ventures, Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had ownership interests in several joint ventures, limited liability companies or partnerships with third parties, as well as interests in three unconsolidated entities. As of December 31, 2002, we owned approximately 33.7 million square feet (excluding three unconsolidated joint ventures) of our properties through these entities. We may make additional investments through these ventures in the future and presently plan to do so. Such partners may share certain approval rights over major decisions. Partnership, limited liability company or joint venture investments may involve risks such as the following:

 • our partners, co-members or joint venturers might become bankrupt (in which event we and any other remaining general partners, members, or joint venturers would generally remain liable for the liabilities of the partnership, limited liability company, or joint venture);
 
 • our partners, co-members or joint venturers might at any time have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals;
 
 • our partners, co-members or joint venturers may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies, or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a real estate investment trust; and
 
 • agreements governing joint ventures, limited liability companies and partnerships often contain restrictions on the transfer of a joint venturer’s, member’s or partner’s interest or “buy-sell” or other provisions that may result in a purchase or sale of the interest at a disadvantageous time or on disadvantageous terms.

     We will, however, generally seek to maintain sufficient control of our partnerships, limited liability companies, and joint ventures to permit us to achieve our business objectives. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could 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 be Unable to Consummate Acquisitions on Advantageous Terms or Acquisitions May Not Perform As We Expect.

     We intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties. The acquisition of and investment in properties entails various risks. In addition to the general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, our investments may not perform in accordance with our expectations or our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. Further, we may not be able to acquire additional properties on acceptable terms. We anticipate significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other major real estate investors with significant capital including both publicly-traded real estate investment trusts and private institutional investment funds. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of limited partnership units by the operating partnership or its subsidiaries) and proceeds from property divestitures, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow. Our inability to finance future acquisitions on favorable terms, the failure of acquisitions to conform with our expectations or investment criteria, or our failure to timely reinvest the proceeds from property divestitures could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

40


 

We May be Unable to Complete Divestitures on Advantageous Terms.

     We have decided to divest ourselves of retail centers and industrial properties that are not in our core markets or which do not meet our strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms is dependent upon factors beyond our control, including competition from other owners (including other real estate investment trusts) that are attempting to dispose of industrial and retail properties and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Our inability to dispose of properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property divestitures in accordance with our investment strategy could 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 be Unable to Complete Renovation and Development Projects on Advantageous Terms.

     The real estate development business, including the renovation and rehabilitation of existing properties, involves significant risks that include the following:

 • we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for development projects and we may not complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing such properties and generating cash flow;
 
 • we may not be able to obtain, or we may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;
 
 • new or renovated properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts;
 
 • substantial renovation as well as new development activities, regardless of their ultimate success, typically require a substantial portion of management’s time and attention, diverting our attention from our day-to-day operations; and
 
 • upon completion of construction, we may not be able to obtain permanent financing, or obtain permanent financing on advantageous terms, for activities that we have financed through construction loans.

     These risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Debt Financing

We Could Incur More Debt.

     It is our policy to incur debt, either directly or through our subsidiaries, only if it will not cause our share of debt-to-total market capitalization ratio to exceed approximately 45%. The aggregate amount of indebtedness that we may incur under our policy varies directly with the valuation of our capital stock and the number of shares of capital stock outstanding. Accordingly, we would be able to incur additional indebtedness under our policy as a result of increases in the market price per share of our common stock or other outstanding classes of capital stock, and future issuance of shares of our capital stock. However, our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, our board of directors could alter or eliminate this policy. If we change this policy, then we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Scheduled Debt Payments Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.

     We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including that cash flow will be insufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders, that we will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties (which in all cases will not have been fully amortized at maturity), and that the terms of

41


 

refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. As of December 31, 2002, we had total debt outstanding of $2.2 billion.

     In addition, we guarantee the operating partnership’s obligations with respect to the senior debt securities referenced in our financial statements. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds of other capital transactions, then we expect that our cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to pay dividends to our stockholders and to repay all such maturing debt. 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. In addition, if we mortgage one or more of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, then the property could be foreclosed upon or transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value. A foreclosure on one or more of our properties could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Rising Interest Rates Could Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had $45.5 million outstanding under our Alliance Fund II secured credit facility, $95.0 million outstanding on our unsecured credit facility, and we had seven secured loans with an aggregate principal amount of $65.6 million that bear interest at variable rates (with weighted average interest rate of 3.5% as of December 31, 2002). In addition, we may incur other variable rate indebtedness in the future. Increases in interest rates on this indebtedness could increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. Accordingly, in the future, we may engage in transactions to limit our exposure to rising interest rates.

We Are Dependent on External Sources of Capital.

     In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, we are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding any net capital gain) and we are subject to tax on our income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital needs in connection with acquisitions, from cash retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs we rely on third-party sources of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends upon a number of factors, including:

 • general market conditions;
 
 • the market’s perception of our growth potential;
 
 • our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions; and
 
 • the market price of our capital stock. Additional debt financing may substantially increase our debt-to-total capitalization ratio.

We Could Default on Cross-Collateralized and Cross-Defaulted Debt.

     As of December 31, 2002, we had 26 non-recourse secured loans that are cross-collateralized by 60 properties, totaling $711.7 million (not including unamortized debt premium). If we default on any of these loans, then we could be required to repay the aggregate of all indebtedness, together with applicable prepayment charges, to avoid foreclosure on all the cross-collateralized properties within the applicable pool. Foreclosure on our properties, or our inability to refinance our loans on favorable terms, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. In addition, our credit facilities and senior debt securities contain certain cross-default

42


 

provisions, which are triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure the credit facilities and the senior debt securities in addition to any mortgage or other debt that is in default, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Contingent or Unknown Liabilities Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.

     Our predecessors have been in existence for varying lengths of time up to 19 years. At the time of our formation we acquired the assets of these entities subject to all of their potential existing liabilities. There may be current liabilities or future liabilities arising from prior activities that we are not aware of and therefore have not disclosed in this report. We assumed these liabilities as the surviving entity in the various merger and contribution transactions that occurred at the time of our formation. Existing liabilities for indebtedness generally were taken into account in connection with the allocation of the operating partnership’s limited partnership units or shares of our common stock in the formation transactions, but no other liabilities were taken into account for these purposes. We do not have recourse against our predecessors or any of their respective stockholders or partners or against any individual account investors with respect to any unknown liabilities. Unknown liabilities might include the following:

 • liabilities for clean-up or remediation of undisclosed environmental conditions;
 
 • claims of customers, vendors, or other persons dealing with our predecessors prior to the formation transactions that had not been asserted prior to the formation transactions;
 
 • accrued but unpaid liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
 
 • tax liabilities; and
 
 • claims for indemnification by the officers and directors of our predecessors and others indemnified by these entities.

     Certain customers may claim that the formation transactions gave rise to a right to purchase the premises that they occupy. We do not believe any such claims would be material and, to date, no such claims have been filed. See “— Government Regulations — We Could Encounter Costly Environmental Problems” below regarding the possibility of undisclosed environmental conditions potentially affecting the value of our properties. Undisclosed material liabilities in connection with the acquisition of properties, entities and interests in properties, or entities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Conflicts of Interest

Some of Our Directors and Executive Officers are Involved in Other Real Estate Activities and Investments.

     Some of our executive officers own interests in real estate-related businesses and investments. These interests include minority ownership interests in Institutional Housing Partners, L.P., a residential housing finance company (Messrs. Burke and Moghadam) and Aspire Development, Inc. and Aspire Development, L.P., developers of properties not within our investment criteria (Messrs. Belmonte, Burke and Moghadam). The continued involvement in other real estate-related activities by some of our executive officers and directors could divert management’s attention from our day-to-day operations. Our executive officers have entered into non-competition agreements with us pursuant to which they have agreed not to engage in any activities, directly or indirectly, in respect of commercial real estate, and not to make any investment in respect of any industrial or retail real estate, other than through ownership of not more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a public company engaged in such activities or through the existing investments referred to in this report. State law may limit our ability to enforce these agreements.

43


 

Certain of Our Executive Officers and Directors May Have Conflicts of Interest with Us in Connection with Other Properties that They Own or Control.

     As of December 31, 2002, Aspire Development, L.P. owned interests in several retail development projects in the U.S., which are individually less than 10,000 feet. In addition, Messrs. Moghadam and Burke, each a founder and director, own less than 1% interests in two partnerships that own office buildings in various markets; these interests have negligible value. Luis A. Belmonte, an executive officer, owns less than a 10% interest, representing an estimated value of $150,000, in a limited partnership, which owns an office building located in Oakland, California.

     In addition, several of our executive officers individually own:

 • less than 1% interests in the stocks of certain publicly-traded real estate investment trusts;
 
 • certain interests in and rights to developed and undeveloped real property located outside the United States; and
 
 • certain other de minimus holdings in equity securities of real estate companies.

     Thomas W. Tusher, a member of our board of directors and chair of the board’s compensation committee, is a limited partner in a venture in which Messrs. Moghadam and Burke are two of three members in the controlling general partner. The venture owns an office building. Mr. Tusher owns a 20% interest in the venture and Messrs. Moghadam and Burke each have a 26.7% interest in the venture. These interests in the venture have negligible value. The venture was formed in 1985, prior to the time of our initial public offering, and we continue to act as property and asset manager of the office building, for which services the venture pays us a fee. In our capacity as property and asset manager, we oversee the management and operation of the property, including the obtaining of financing and negotiating with third party lenders in connection therewith. The largest tenant, which occupies 68% of the building, filed for bankruptcy in January 2003.

     We believe that the properties and activities set forth above generally do not directly compete with any of our properties. However, it is possible that a property in which an executive officer or director, or an affiliate of an executive officer or director, has an interest may compete with us in the future if we were to invest in a property similar in type and in close proximity to that property. In addition, the continued involvement by our executive officers and directors in these properties could divert management’s attention from our day-to-day operations. Our policy prohibits us from acquiring any properties from our executive officers or their affiliates without the approval of the disinterested members of our board of directors with respect to that transaction.

Our Role as General Partner of the Operating Partnership May Conflict with the Interests of Stockholders.

     As the general partner of the operating partnership, we have fiduciary obligations to the operating partnership’s limited partners, the discharge of which may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, those persons holding limited partnership units will have the right to vote as a class on certain amendments to the partnership agreement of the operating partnership and individually to approve certain amendments that would adversely affect their rights. The limited partners may exercise these voting rights in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, under the terms of the operating partnership’s partnership agreement, holders of limited partnership units will have certain approval rights with respect to certain transactions that affect all stockholders but which they may not exercise in a manner that reflects the interests of all stockholders.

Our Directors, Executive Officers, and Significant Stockholders Could Act in a Manner that is Not in the Best Interest of All Stockholders.

     As of December 31, 2002, our two largest stockholders, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. (with respect to various client accounts for which Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. serves as investment advisor) and ABP Investments U.S. (with respect to various client accounts for which ABP Investments U.S. serves as investment advisor) together beneficially owned 10.8% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, our executive officers and directors beneficially owned 4.3% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2002, and will have influence on our management and operation and, as

44


 

stockholders, will have influence on the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. This influence might be exercised in a manner that is inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders. Although there is no understanding or arrangement for these directors, officers, and stockholders and their affiliates to act in concert, these parties would be in a position to exercise significant influence over our affairs if they choose to do so.

Government Regulations

     Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently.

We May Incur Costs to Comply with Americans with Disabilities Act.

     Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act might require us to remove structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas where such removal is “readily achievable.” If we fail to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, then we might be required to pay fines to the government or damages to private litigants. The impact of application of the Americans with Disabilities Act to our properties, including the extent and timing of required renovations, is uncertain. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, then our cash flow and the amounts available for dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

We Could Encounter Environmental Problems.

     Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment impose liability on a current or previous owner or operator of real estate for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at the property. A current or previous owner may be required to investigate and clean up contamination at or migrating from a site. These laws typically impose liability and clean-up responsibility without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages based on personal injury, property damage, or other costs, including investigation and clean-up costs, resulting from environmental contamination present at or emanating from that site.

     Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos. These laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, that they adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and that they undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement in the event that asbestos is disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failing to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials.

     Some of our properties are leased or have been leased, in part, to owners and operators of businesses that use, store, or otherwise handle petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain of our properties are on, are adjacent to, or are near other properties upon which others, including former owners or customers of the properties, have engaged or may in the future engage in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. Environmental issues for each

45


 

property are evaluated and quantified prior to acquisition. The costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring are underwritten into the cost of the acquisition and appropriate environmental insurance is obtained for the property. In connection with certain divested properties, we have agreed to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.

     All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessments by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties and include an historical review, a public records review, an investigation of the surveyed site and surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a written report. We may perform additional Phase II testing if recommended by the independent environmental consultant. Phase II testing may include the collection and laboratory analysis of soil and groundwater samples, completion of surveys for asbestos-containing building materials, and any other testing that the consultant considers prudent in order to test for the presence of hazardous materials.

     None of the environmental assessments of our properties has revealed any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. Furthermore, we are not aware of any such material environmental liability. Nonetheless, it is possible that the assessments do not reveal all environmental liabilities and that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware or that known environmental conditions may give rise to liabilities that are materially greater than anticipated. Moreover, the current environmental condition of our properties may be affected by customers, the condition of land, operations in the vicinity of the properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third-parties unrelated to us. If the costs of compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations exceed our budgets for these items, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be adversely affected.

Our Financial Condition Could be Adversely Affected if We Fail to Comply with Other Regulations.

     Our properties are also subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life-safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, then we might incur fines by governmental authorities or be required to pay awards of damages to private litigants. We believe that our properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory requirements. However, these requirements may change or new requirements may be imposed that could require significant unanticipated expenditures by us. Any such unanticipated expenditure could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock.

Federal Income Tax Risks

Our Failure to Qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust Would Have Serious Adverse Consequences to Our Stockholders.

     We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1997. We currently intend to operate so as to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code and believe that our current organization and method of operation comply with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code to enable us to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust. However, it is possible that we have been organized or have operated in a manner that would not allow us to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or that our future operations could cause us to fail to qualify. Qualification as a real estate investment trust requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual and others on a quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. For example, in order to qualify as a real estate investment trust, we must derive at least 95% of our gross income in any year from qualifying sources. In addition, we must pay dividends to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our real estate investment

46


 

trust taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding capital gains) and must satisfy specified asset tests on a quarterly basis. These provisions and the applicable treasury regulations are more complicated in our case because we hold our assets through the operating partnership. Legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a real estate investment trust or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. However, we are not aware of any pending tax legislation that would adversely affect our ability to operate as a real estate investment trust.

     If we fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year, then we will be required to pay federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a real estate investment trust for the four taxable years following the year in which we lost qualification. If we lose our real estate investment trust status, then our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders would be significantly reduced for each of the years involved. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders.

We Pay Some Taxes.

     Even if we qualify as a real estate investment trust, we will be required to pay certain state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property. In addition, we will be required to pay federal and state income tax on the net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, IMD Holding Corporation and Headlands Realty Corporation, thereby reducing their cash available for distribution to us.

Certain Property Transfers May Generate Prohibited Transaction Income.

     From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers of properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited transaction. We would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on that income. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we believe that any transfer or disposal of property by us would not be deemed by the Internal Revenue Service to be a prohibited transaction with any resulting gain allocable to us being subject to a 100% penalty tax. However, whether property is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we believe that the Internal Revenue Service would not prevail in any such dispute, if the IRS were to argue successfully that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a prohibited transaction, then we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction. In addition, any income from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.

We May Be Unable to Manage Our Growth.

     Our business has grown rapidly and continues to grow through property acquisitions and developments. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be adversely affected.

Our International Growth is Subject to Special Political and Monetary Risks.

     We have and expect to continue to acquire or develop additional properties in foreign countries. Local markets affect our operations and, therefore, we would be subject to economic fluctuations in foreign locations. Our international operations also would be subject to the usual risks of doing business abroad such as the revaluation of currencies, revisions in tax treaties or other laws governing the taxation of revenues, restrictions on the transfer of funds, and, in certain parts of the world, property rights uncertainty and political instability. We cannot predict the likelihood that any such developments may occur. Further, we may enter into

47


 

agreements with non-U.S. entities that are governed by the laws of, and are subject to dispute resolution in, the courts of another country or region. We cannot accurately predict whether such a forum would provide us with an effective and efficient means of resolving disputes that may arise. Even if we are able to obtain a satisfactory decision through arbitration or a court proceeding, we could have difficulty enforcing any award or judgment on a timely basis. Our business has grown rapidly and continues to grow through property acquisitions and developments. If we fail to effectively manage our international growth, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock could be adversely affected.

We Are Dependent On Our Key Personnel.

     We depend on the efforts of our executive officers. While we believe that we could find suitable replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services or the limitation of their availability could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers.

Ownership of Our Stock

Limitations in Our Charter and Bylaws Could Prevent a Change in Control.

     Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws may delay, defer, or prevent a change in control or other transaction that could provide the holders of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the common stock. To maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year after the first taxable year for which a real estate investment trust election is made. Furthermore, our common stock must be held by a minimum of 100 persons for at least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year (or a proportionate part of a short tax year). In addition, if we, or an owner of 10% or more of our stock, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of one of our customers (or a tenant of any partnership in which we are a partner), then the rent received by us (either directly or through any such partnership) from that tenant will not be qualifying income for purposes of the real estate investment trust gross income tests of the Internal Revenue Code. To facilitate maintenance of our qualification as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes, we prohibit the ownership, actually or by virtue of the constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, by any single person of more than 9.8% (by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and more than 9.8% (by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock, and we also prohibit the ownership, actually or constructively, of any shares of our other preferred stock by any single person so that no such person, taking into account all of our stock so owned by such person, may own in excess of 9.8% of our issued and outstanding capital stock. We refer to this limitation as the “ownership limit.” Shares acquired or held in violation of the ownership limit will be transferred to a trust for the benefit of a designated charitable beneficiary. Any person who acquires shares in violation of the ownership limit will not be entitled to any dividends on the shares or be entitled to vote the shares or receive any proceeds from the subsequent sale of the shares in excess of the lesser of the price paid for the shares or the amount realized from the sale. A transfer of shares in violation of the above limits may be void under certain circumstances. The ownership limit may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control and, therefore, could adversely affect our stockholders’ ability to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the shares of our common stock in connection with such transaction.

     Our charter authorizes us to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to establish the preferences, rights and other terms of any series or class of preferred stock that we issue. Although our board of directors has no intention to do so at the present time, it could establish a series or class of preferred stock that could delay, defer, or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for the common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

48


 

     Our charter and bylaws and Maryland law also contain other provisions that may delay, defer, or prevent a transaction, including a change in control, that might involve payment of a premium price for the common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Those provisions include the following:

 • directors may be removed only for cause and only upon a two-thirds vote of stockholders, together with bylaw provisions authorizing the board of directors to fill vacant directorships;
 
 • a two-thirds vote of stockholders for any amendment of the charter is required;
 
 • the request of the holders of 50% or more of our common stock is necessary for stockholders to call a special meeting;
 
 • stockholders may only take action by written consent with the unanimous approval of all stockholders entitled to vote on the matter in question; and
 
 • advance notice by stockholders for the nomination of directors or proposal of business to be considered at a meeting of stockholders is required.

These provisions may impede various actions by stockholders without approval of our board of directors, which in turn may delay, defer or prevent a transaction involving a change of control.

     Various Market Conditions Affect the Price of Our Stock.

     As with other publicly-traded equity securities, the market price of our stock will depend upon various market conditions that may change from time to time. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of our stock are the following:

 • the extent of investor interest in us;
 
 • the general reputation of real estate investment trusts and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities (including securities issued by other real estate-based companies);
 
 • our financial performance;
 
 • general stock and bond market conditions, including changes in interest rates on fixed income securities, that may lead prospective purchasers of our stock to demand a higher annual yield from future dividends; and
 
 • terrorist activity may adversely affect the markets in which our securities trade, possibly increasing market volatility and causing the further erosion of business and consumer confidence and spending.

Other factors such as governmental regulatory action and changes in tax laws could also have a significant impact on the future market price of our stock.

Earnings and Cash Dividends, Asset Value and Market Interest Rates Affect the Price of Our Stock.

     The market value of the equity securities of a real estate investment trust generally is based primarily upon the market’s perception of the real estate investment trust’s growth potential and its current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. It is based secondarily upon the real estate market value of the underlying assets. For that reason, shares of our stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than the net asset value per share. To the extent that we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our stock. Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash dividends likely would adversely affect the market price of our stock. Another factor that may influence the price of our stock will be the distribution yield on the stock (as a percentage of the price of the stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of our stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of the stock. If the market price of our stock declines significantly, then we might

49


 

breach certain covenants with respect to debt obligations, which might adversely affect our liquidity and ability to make future acquisitions and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

If We Issue Additional Securities, then the Investment of Existing Stockholders Will Be Diluted.

     We have authority to issue shares of common stock or other equity or debt securities in exchange for property or otherwise. Similarly, we may cause the operating partnership to issue additional limited partnership units in exchange for property or otherwise. Existing stockholders will have no preemptive right to acquire any additional securities issued by us or the operating partnership and any issuance of additional equity securities could result in dilution of an existing stockholder’s investment.

We Could Change Our Investment and Financing Policies without a Vote of Stockholders.

     Subject to our current investment policy to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (unless a change is approved by our board of directors under certain circumstances), our board of directors will determine our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution and operating policies. Although the board of directors has no present intention to revise or amend these strategies and policies, they may do so at any time without a vote of stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders will have no control over changes in our strategies and policies (other than through the election of directors), and any such changes may not serve the interests of all stockholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

Shares Available for Future Sale Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Common Stock.

     We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our common stock, or the availability of shares of our common stock for future sale, will have on its market price. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market (or upon exchange of limited partnership units in the operating partnership) or the perception that such sales (or exchanges) might occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

     All shares of common stock issuable upon the redemption of limited partnership units in the operating partnership will be deemed to be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be transferred unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available, including any exemption from registration provided under Rule 144. In general, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, Rule 144 permits the holder to sell certain amounts of restricted securities one year following the date of acquisition of the restricted securities from us and, after two years, permits unlimited sales by persons unaffiliated with us. Commencing generally on the first anniversary of the date of acquisition of common limited partnership units (or such other date agreed to by the operating partnership and the holders of the units), the operating partnership may redeem common limited partnership units at the request of the holders for cash (based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of redemption) or, at the option of the operating partnership, exchange the common limited partnership units for an equal number of shares of our common stock, subject to certain antidilution adjustments. The operating partnership had issued and outstanding 4,846,387 common limited partnership units as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, we had reserved 17,336,237 shares of common stock for issuance under our Stock Option and Incentive Plans (not including shares that we have already issued) and, as of December 31, 2002, we had granted to certain directors, officers and employees options to purchase 8,764,912 shares of common stock (excluding forfeitures and 896,152 shares that we have issued pursuant to the exercise of options). As of December 31, 2002, we had granted 717,611 restricted shares of common stock, excluding 36,200 shares that have been forfeited. In addition, we may issue additional shares of common stock and the operating partnership may issue additional limited partnership units in connection with the acquisition of properties. In connection with the issuance of common limited partnership units to other transferors of properties, and in connection with the issuance of the performance units, we have agreed to file registration statements covering the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exchange of the common limited partnership units. We have also filed registration statements with respect to the shares of common stock issuable under our stock option and incentive plans. These registration statements and registration rights

50


 

generally allow shares of common stock covered thereby, including shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of limited partnership units, including performance units, or the exercise of options or restricted shares of common stock, to be transferred or resold without restriction under the Securities Act. We may also agree to provide registration rights to any other person who may become an owner of the operating partnership’s limited partnership units.

     Future sales of the shares of common stock described above could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The existence of the operating partnership’s limited partnership units, options, and shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exchange of limited partnership units, and the exercise of options and registration rights referred to above, also may adversely affect the terms upon which we are able to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

Item 7a.     Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes: (1) interest rate fluctuations in connection with our credit facilities and other variable rate borrowings; and (2) our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. As of December 31, 2002, we had no interest rate caps or swaps. See “Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Capital Resources — Market Capitalization.”

     The table below summarizes the market risks associated with our fixed and variable rated debt outstanding before unamortized debt premiums of $9.8 million as of December 31, 2002:

     If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased by 10% (or approximately 27 basis points), then the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would be $0.6 million annually. As of December 31, 2002, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $2,152.6 million based on our estimate of current market interest rates.

PART III

Items 10, 11, 12 and 13.

Directors and Executive Officers of AMB Property Corporation, Executive Compensation, Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The information required by Item 10, Item 11, Item 12 and Item 13 will be contained in a definitive proxy statement for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders which we anticipate will be filed no later than 120 days after the end of our fiscal year pursuant to Regulation 14A and accordingly these items have been omitted in accordance with General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K.

Item 14.     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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized 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 necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

     Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date we completed our evaluation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

of AMB Property Corporation:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMB Property Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, and the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, in 2002.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002 and 2001

1.     Organization and Formation of the Company

     AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of its initial public offering on November 26, 1997. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, and believes its current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. 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, ownership, operation, management, renovation, expansion and development of industrial buildings primarily within key distribution markets worldwide. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and their other controlled subsidiaries.

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company owned an approximate 94.5% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership, excluding preferred units. The remaining 5.5% limited partner interest is owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. For local law purposes, certain properties are owned through limited partnerships and limited liability companies. The ownership of such properties through such entities does not materially affect the Company’s overall ownership interests in the properties. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership are allocated after preferred unit distributions based on the respective partners’ ownership interests.

     Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. These co-investment joint ventures provide the Company with an additional source of capital and income. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had investments in five co-investment joint ventures, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

     AMB Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AMB Capital Partners”), the successor-in-interest to AMB Investment Management, Inc. (“AMB Investment Management”), provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as the Company’s CustomerAssist Program, and development projects available for sale to third parties. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, also conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale to third parties. On December 31, 2001, AMB Investment Management was reorganized through a series of related transactions into AMB Capital Partners. The Operating Partnership is the managing member of AMB Capital Partners. On May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership acquired 100% of the common stock of AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation from current and former executive officers of the Company, a former executive officer of AMB Investment Management, and a director of Headlands Realty Corporation, thereby acquiring 100% of both entities’ capital stock. The Operating Partnership began consolidating its investments in AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation on May 31, 2001. Prior to May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership reflected its investment using the equity method. The net impact of consolidating AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation was not material.

     Any references to the number of buildings, square footage, customers and occupancy data in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company owned 904 industrial buildings and seven retail centers, located in 28 markets throughout North America and France. The Company’s strategy is to become a leading provider of distribution properties in supply-constrained, infill submarkets located near key international passenger and

cargo airports, highway systems and seaports in major metropolitan areas. As of December 31, 2002, the industrial buildings, principally warehouse distribution buildings, encompassed approximately 84.2 million rentable square feet and were 94.6% leased to over 2,300 customers. As of December 31, 2002, the retail centers, principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, encompassed approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet and were 88.6% leased to 122 customers.

     As of December 31, 2002, through AMB Capital Partners, the Company also managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial, retail and other properties, totaling approximately 1.7 million rentable square feet on behalf of various clients. In addition, the Company has investments in industrial buildings, totaling approximately 5.5 million rentable square feet, through unconsolidated joint ventures.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation.These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, its wholly-owned qualified REIT and taxable REIT subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership and joint ventures, in which the Company has a controlling interest. Third-party equity interests in the Operating Partnership and joint ventures are reflected as minority interests in the consolidated financial statements. The Company also has four non-controlling limited partnership interests in four separate unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.

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

     Investments in Real Estate.Investments in real estate are stated at cost unless circumstances indicate that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value. Carrying values for financial reporting purposes are reviewed for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions and the availability of capital. If impairment analysis assumptions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the 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 income and is included with gains from disposition of real estate, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluated its properties held for divestiture and operating properties for impairment and reduced their carrying value by $1.2 million, $18.6 million and $5.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The management of the Company believes that there are no additional impairments of the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of December 31, 2002.

     Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the real estate investments. The estimated lives and components of depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

     The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the property or interest in property, including legal fees and acquisition costs. Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project, which include interest and property taxes, are capitalized as construction in progress. Capitalized interest related to construction projects for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, was $6.9 million, $13.7 million and $15.5 million, respectively.

     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Maintenance expenditures include painting and repair costs. The Company expenses costs as incurred and does not accrue in advance of planned major maintenance activities. Significant renovations or betterments that extend the economic useful life of assets are capitalized and include parking lot, HVAC and roof replacement costs.

     Business Combinations.In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 and No. 142 require the Company to record at acquisition an intangible asset or liability for the value attributable to above or below-market leases. The requirements are applicable to all acquisitions subsequent to July 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 and No. 142 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.The Company has non-controlling limited partnership interests in four separate unconsolidated joint ventures. These investments are not consolidated because the Company does not exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing. The Company accounts for the joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.

     Section 1031 Reverse Exchanges.Reverse exchanges represent loan agreements with third parties, whereby the Company loans substantially all funds to the third party to acquire a real estate investment that we intend to acquire in a Section 1031 exchange. The loan is secured by the real estate investment and title is held by the third party. Upon acquisition of the property by the third party, the Company records the asset as an investment in real estate and records the rental income and expenses associated with the property as the Company retains the risk of loss and the benefits of the asset. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had one property in a reverse exchange valued at $13.5 million.

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     Concentration of Credit Risk.Other real estate companies compete with the Company in its real estate markets. This results in competition for customers to occupy space. The existence of competing properties could have a material impact on the Company’s ability to lease space and on the amount of rent received. As of December 31, 2002, the Company did not have any single tenant that accounted for greater than 2.6% of rental revenues.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents.Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in financial institutions and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

     Restricted Cash.Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with property purchases, Section 1031 exchange accounts and debt and real estate tax payments.

     Accounts Receivable.Accounts receivable includes all current accounts receivable, net of allowances, other accruals and deferred rent receivable of $46.3 million and $37.9 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company regularly reviews the credit worthiness of its tenants and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts, straight-line rent receivable balance and tenant improvement and leasing costs amortization accordingly.

     Mortgage Receivable.Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company holds a mortgage loan receivable on AMB Pier One, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture. Based on borrowing rates available at December 31, 2002, the estimated fair value of the mortgage receivable was $15.5 million.

     Deferred Financing Costs.Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the term of the related loan. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, deferred financing costs were $19.6 million and $17.5 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization. Such amounts are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     Investments in Other Companies.Investments in other companies were accounted for on a cost basis and realized gains and losses were included in current earnings. For its investments in private companies, the Company periodically reviewed its investments and management determined if the value of such investments had been permanently impaired. During 2001, the Company recognized losses on its investments in other companies totaling $20.8 million, including its investment in Webvan Group, Inc. The Company had previously recognized gains and losses on its investment in Webvan Group, Inc. as a component of other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had realized losses on 100% of its investments in such other companies. The Company recognized no gains or losses in 2002.

     Debt. The Company’s debt includes both fixed and variable rate secured debt, unsecured fixed rate debt and unsecured variable rate credit facilities. Based on borrowing rates available to the Company at December 31, 2002, the book value and the estimated fair value of the fixed rate secured and unsecured debt were $2,019.4 million and $2,152.6 million, respectively. The carrying value of the variable rate debt approximates fair value.

     Debt Premiums. Debt premiums represent the excess of the fair value of debt over the principal value of debt assumed in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and subsequent property acquisitions. The debt premiums are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the net unamortized debt premium was $9.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, and are included as a component of secured debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     Rental Revenues. The Company, as a lessor, retains substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Reimbursements from customers for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. In addition, the Company nets its bad debt expense against rental income for financial reporting purposes.

Such amounts totaled $1.8 million, $5.2 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     Private Capital Income.Private capital income consists primarily of asset management fees and acquisition and disposition fees earned by AMB Capital Partners from joint ventures and clients. Private capital income also includes priority distributions from the Operating Partnership’s co-investment joint ventures.

     Interest and Other Income.Interest and other income consists primarily of interest income from mortgages receivable and on cash and cash equivalents.

     Stock-based Compensation Expense.In 2002, the Company adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company values stock options issued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the period in which the options vest. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. Prior to 2002, the Company followed the intrinsic method set forth in APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. During 2002, the Company awarded 2.0 million stock options to employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company will recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year vesting periods. Related stock-based compensation expense was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 is prospective and the 2002 expense relates only to stock options granted in 2002. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net income available to common stockholders would have been reduced by $2.4 million, $3.9 million and $2.7 million and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced to $1.37 and $1.34; $1.44 and $1.42; and $1.32 and $1.31, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

     Discontinued Operations.In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 retains SFAS No. 121’s,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, fundamental provisions for the: (1) recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used; and (2) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Beginning in 2002, the Company reported operating results attributable to discontinued operations and the applicable gain on disposition of real estate separately as prescribed under the provisions of SFAS No. 144. The consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were also revised to conform with this change.

     Financial Instruments.For its lease denominated in Mexican pesos, the Company used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities, as amended, on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 provides comprehensive guidelines for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities and, specifically, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income or income. The Company’s only derivative financial instruments in effect at December 31, 2002, were a combination of foreign currency option contracts. These derivative instruments were marked to market through accumulated other comprehensive income because they qualified for hedge accounting treatment. In assessing the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. The Company uses quoted market prices or quotes from brokers or dealers for the same or similar instruments. These values represent a general approximation of possible value and may never actually be realized.

     Comprehensive Income.Comprehensive income consists of net income, unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

     Reclassifications.Certain items in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current classifications with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

3.     Transactions with Affiliates

     AMB Capital Partners provides real estate investment services to clients on a fee basis. Headlands Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as the Company’s CustomerAssist Program, and development projects available for sale to third parties. IMD Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, also conducts a variety of businesses that include development projects available for sale to third parties. On December 31, 2001, AMB Investment Management was reorganized through a series of related transactions into AMB Capital Partners. The Operating Partnership is the managing member of AMB Capital Partners. On May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership acquired 100% of the common stock of AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation from current and former executive officers of the Company, a former executive officer of AMB Investment Management, and a director of Headlands Realty Corporation, thereby acquiring 100% of both entities’ capital stock. The Operating Partnership began consolidating its investments in AMB Investment Management (predecessor-in-interest to AMB Capital Partners) and Headlands Realty Corporation on May 31, 2001. Prior to May 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership reflected its investment using the equity method and did not include expenses incurred by these two unconsolidated preferred stock subsidiaries in general and administrative expenses, they were netted with private capital income. The net impact of consolidating AMB Investment Management and Headlands Realty Corporation was not material. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, would have been $39.4 million had the subsidiaries been consolidated beginning January 1, 2001.

4.     Real Estate Acquisition and Development Activity

     During 2002, the Company invested $403.3 million in operating properties, consisting of 43 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 5.4 million square feet, and a parking lot adjacent to Los Angeles International Airport. The Company’s acquisitions included the investment of $166.5 million in 31 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet through three of the Company’s co-investment joint ventures.

     During 2002, the Company completed industrial developments valued at $135.4 million, aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet. The Company also initiated new industrial development projects in North America, France and Singapore valued at $90.6 million, aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet.

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company had in its development pipeline: (1) 10 industrial projects, which will total approximately 1.7 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $106.8 million upon completion; and (2) three development projects available for sale, which will total approximately 0.6 million square feet and have an aggregate estimated investment of $49.1 million upon completion. As of December 31, 2002, the Company and its Development Alliance Partners® have funded an aggregate of $92.8 million and will need to fund an estimated additional $63.1 million in order to complete current and planned projects during 2003 and 2004.

     During 2001, the Company invested $428.3 million in operating properties, consisting of 65 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 6.8 million square feet, which included the investment of $219.5 million

     During 2001, the Company completed industrial and retail developments valued at $148.0 million and $73.9 million, respectively, aggregating approximately 2.3 million and 0.4 million square feet, respectively. The Company also initiated new industrial development projects valued at $9.7 million, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet.

5.     Property Divestitures and Properties Held for Divestiture

     Property Divestitures.During 2002, the Company divested itself of 58 industrial buildings, two retail properties and one undeveloped retail land parcel, aggregating approximately 5.7 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $244.0 million, with a resulting net gain of $9.6 million, which is net of minority interests’ share. During 2002, we also completed and sold six buildings developed as part of our development-for-sale program for a net gain of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2002, we were developing three projects for sale to third parties.

     In June 2002, the Company also sold operating properties valued at $76.9 million, consisting of 15 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet, to one of its co-investment joint ventures. The properties sold to the co-investment joint venture were reflected at the Company’s historical cost because the Company controls these joint ventures and, therefore, they were under common control. The Company recognized a gain of $3.3 million related to these sales representing the portion of the properties acquired by the third-party co-investors. In November 2002, the Company’s joint venture partner in AMB Partners II, L.P. (“Partners II”) increased its ownership in Partners II from 50% to 80% by acquiring 30% of the Operating Partnership’s partnership interest. The Company recognized a gain of $6.3 million on the sale of its interest.

     During 2001, the Company divested itself of 24 industrial and two retail buildings, aggregating approximately 3.2 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $193.4 million, with a resulting net gain of $24.1 million, which is net of minority interests’ share. The resulting net gain is before impairment charges of $18.6 million and the gain on the Company’s contributed properties of $17.8 million.

     During 2001, the Company also contributed operating properties valued at $539.2 million, consisting of 111 industrial buildings, aggregating approximately 10.8 million square feet, to three of its co-investment joint ventures. The properties contributed to the co-investment joint ventures were reflected at the Company’s historical cost because the Company controls these joint ventures and, therefore, they were under common control. The Company recognized a gain of $17.8 million related to these contributions representing the portion of the contributed properties acquired by the third-party co-investors.

     During 2000, the Company divested itself of 25 industrial buildings and one retail center, aggregating approximately 2.5 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $175.7 million, with a resulting net gain of $7.0 million. The resulting net gain is before impairment charges of $5.9 million.

     Properties Held for Divestiture.As of December 31, 2002, the Company had decided to divest itself of four industrial properties, one development property and two retail properties with a net book value of $107.9 million. The properties are not in the Company’s core markets and do not meet its current strategic objectives. The divestitures of the properties are subject to negotiation of acceptable terms and other customary conditions.

     Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments. The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust on certain properties and is generally non-recourse. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the total gross investment book value of those properties securing the debt was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, including $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, in consolidated joint ventures. All of the secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for seven loans with an aggregate principal amount of $65.6 million as of December 31, 2002, which bear interest at variable rates (weighted average interest rate of 3.5% as of December 31, 2002). The secured debt has various covenants. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had 26 non-recourse secured loans, which are cross-collateralized by 60 properties, totaling $711.7 million (not including unamortized debt premiums).

     Interest on the unsecured senior debt securities is payable semi-annually. The 2015 notes are putable and callable in September 2005. The senior debt securities are subject to various covenants. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants as of December 31, 2002.

     In May 2002, the Operating Partnership commenced a medium-term note program for the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes (unsecured senior debt securities), which will be guaranteed by the Company. As of December 31, 2002, the Operating Partnership had issued no medium-term notes under this program.

     In August 2000, the Operating Partnership commenced a medium-term note program for the issuance of up to $400.0 million in principal amount of medium-term notes, which are guaranteed by the Company. On

January 14, 2002, the Operating Partnership completed this program when it issued and sold the remaining $20.0 million of the notes to Lehman Brothers, Inc., as principal. The Company has guaranteed the notes, which mature on January 17, 2007, and bear interest at 5.90% per annum. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of $19.9 million for general corporate purposes, to partially repay indebtedness and to acquire and develop additional properties.

     In December 2002, the Operating Partnership renewed its $500.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility matures in December 2005, has a one-year extension option and is subject to a 20 basis point annual facility fee. Borrowings under the credit facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 60 basis points. Both the facility fee and the interest rate are based on the Operating Partnership’s credit rating, which is currently investment grade. The credit facility includes a multi-currency component under which up to $150.0 million may be drawn in either British pounds sterling, euros or yen, provided that such currency is readily available and freely transferable and convertible to U.S. dollars. The Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service reports LIBOR for such currency in interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months. The Operating Partnership has the ability to increase available borrowings to $700.0 million by adding additional banks to the facility or obtaining the agreement of existing banks to increase their commitments. The Company uses its unsecured credit facility principally for acquisitions and for general working capital requirements. Monthly debt service payments on the credit facility are interest only. The total amount available under the credit facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing base, as defined in the agreement governing the credit facility, generally the value of the Company’s unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $95.0 million and the remaining amount available was $379.0 million, net of outstanding letters of credit (excluding the additional $200.0 million of potential additional capacity). The credit facility has various covenants. Management believes that the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with their financial covenants at December 31, 2002.

     In July 2001, AMB Institutional Alliance Fund II, L.P. (“Alliance Fund II”) obtained a $150.0 million credit facility secured by the unfunded capital commitments of the investors in AMB Institutional Alliance REIT II, Inc. (“Alliance REIT II”) and the Alliance Fund II. Borrowings currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance was $45.5 million and the remaining amount available was $31.2 million, net of outstanding letters of credit and capital contributions from third-party investors. The credit facility has various covenants. Management believes that the Alliance Fund II and the Alliance REIT II were in compliance with their financial covenants as of December 31, 2002.

9.     Income Taxes

     The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal

F-16


 

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

income tax on net income it distributes currently to its stockholders. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, the Company is required to pay federal and state income tax on its net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries, IMD Holding Corporation and Headlands Realty Corporation.

10.     Minority Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures and Preferred Units

     Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and interests held by certain third parties in several real estate joint ventures, aggregating approximately 33.8 million square feet, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Such investments are consolidated because the Company owns a majority interest or exercises significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing.

     Through the Operating Partnership, the Company enters into co-investment joint ventures with institutional investors. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had investments in five co-investment joint ventures with a gross book value of $1.6 billion, which are consolidated for financial reporting purposes and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, the Company and the other parties to the joint venture may be required to make additional capital contributions and, subject to certain limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt. As of December 31, 2002, the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint venture debt was $39.3 million.

     The Company also has a 0.1% unconsolidated equity interest (with an approximate 33% economic interest) in AMB Pier One, LLC, a joint venture to redevelop the Company’s office space in San Francisco. The investment is not consolidated because the Company does not own a majority interest and does not exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers, investment activity and changes in financing. The Company has an option to purchase the remaining equity interest beginning January 1, 2007, and expiring December 31, 2009, based on the fair market value as stipulated in the operating agreement.

12.     Stockholders’ Equity

     During 2002, the Company redeemed 122,640 common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership for shares of its common stock. Holders of common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership have the right, commencing generally on or after the first anniversary of the holder becoming a limited partner of the Operating Partnership (or such other date agreed to by the Operating Partnership and the applicable unit holders), to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash (based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of redemption) or the Operating Partnership may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limits on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect to have the Company exchange those common units for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of certain rights, certain extraordinary distributions and similar events. The Company presently anticipates that the Operating Partnership will generally elect to have it issue shares of its common stock in exchange for common units in connection with a redemption request; however, the Operating Partnership has paid cash, and may in the future pay cash, for a redemption of common units. With each redemption or exchange, the Company’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. Common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, subject to the limitations that limited partners may not exercise this right if such exercise would result in any person actually or constructively owning shares of common stock in excess of the ownership limit or any other amount specified by the board of directors, assuming common stock was issued in the exchange.

     In December 2001, the Company’s board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million worth of common and preferred stock. In December 2002, the Company’s board of directors increased the repurchase program to $200.0 million. The new stock repurchase program expires in December 2003. During 2002, the Company repurchased 2,651,600 shares of its common stock for $69.4 million, including commissions.

     The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock for issuance, of which the following series were designated as of December 31, 2002: 4,600,000 shares of Series A preferred; 1,300,000 shares of Series B preferred; 1,595,337 shares of Series D preferred; 220,440 shares of Series E preferred; 267,439 shares of Series F preferred; 840,000 shares of Series H preferred; 510,000 shares of Series I preferred; 800,000 shares of Series J preferred; and 800,000 shares of Series K preferred.

     In July 2002, the Company repurchased 4,200 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate cost of $0.1 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

13.     Stock Incentive Plan, 401(k) Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan

     Stock Incentive Plan.The Company has Stock Option and Incentive Plans (“Stock Incentive Plans”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining eligible officers, directors and employees. The Company has reserved for issuance 18,950,000 shares of common stock under its Stock Incentive Plans. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had 8,764,912 non-qualified options outstanding granted to certain directors, officers and employees. Each option is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s common stock. The options have a weighted average exercise price of $23.16 and the exercise prices range from $18.94 to $30.83. Each option’s exercise price is equal to the Company’s market price on the date of grant. The options had an original ten-year term and generally vest pro rata in annual installments over a three- to five-year period from the date of grant.

     In 2002, the Company adopted the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company values stock options issued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the period in which the options vest. Under this standard, recognition of expense for stock options is applied to all options granted after the beginning of the year of adoption. Prior to 2002, the Company followed the intrinsic method set forth in APB Opinion 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company will recognize the associated expense over the three to five-year vesting periods. Related stock-based compensation expense was $0.9 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2002. The expense is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 is prospective and the 2002 expense relates only to stock options granted in 2002. Prior to January 1,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2002, the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its Stock Incentive Plan. Opinion 25 measures compensation cost using the intrinsic value based method of accounting. Under this method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Accordingly, no compensation cost had been recognized for the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2001.

     As permitted by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, the Company has changed its method of accounting for stock options beginning January 1, 2002. The Company has not retroactively changed its method of accounting for stock options but has provided additional required disclosures. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards prior to 2002 consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net income available to common stockholders would have been reduced by $2.4 million, $3.9 million and $2.7 million and pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced to $1.37 and $1.34; $1.44 and $1.42; and $1.32 and $1.31, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

     The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively: dividend yields of 5.9%, 6.4% and 6.5%; expected volatility of 13.3%, 14.9% and 13.3%; risk-free interest rates of 4.0%, 5.2% and 6.1%; and expected lives of 10 years for each year.

As of December 31, 2002, 36,200 shares of restricted stock have been

forfeited. The 717,611 outstanding restricted shares are subject to repurchase rights, which generally lapse over a period from three to five years.

     401(k) Plan. In November 1997, the Company established a Section 401(k) Savings/ Retirement Plan (“401(k) Plan”), which is a continuation of the 401(k) Plan of the predecessor, to cover eligible employees of the Company and any designated affiliates. During 2002 and 2001, the 401(k) Plan permitted eligible employees of the Company to defer up to 20% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. The employees’ elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. During 2002 and 2001, the Company matched the employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the first 5.5% of annual compensation deferred by each employee. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. In 2002 and 2001, the Company paid $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for its 401(k) match.

     Deferred Compensation Plan.Effective September 1, 1999, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for officers of the Company and certain of its affiliates. As of January 1, 2002, the plan enables participants to defer income up to 100% of annual base pay and up to 100% of annual bonuses on a pre-tax basis. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions to participant accounts at any time. The Company made no such discretionary matching contributions in 2002, 2001 or 2000. The participant’s elective deferrals and any matching contributions are immediately 100% vested. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the total amount of compensation deferred was $2.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

14.     Income Per Share

     The Company’s only dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were stock options and restricted stock granted under the Stock Incentive Plans. The effect on income per share was to increase weighted average shares outstanding. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock method.

     These operating lease payments are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related leases.

     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.

     General Uninsured Losses.The Company carries property and rental loss, liability, flood, environmental and terrorism insurance. The Company believes that the policy terms and conditions, limits and deductibles are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances, given the relative risk of loss, the cost of such coverage and industry practice. In addition, certain of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquake activity; therefore, the Company has obtained limited earthquake insurance on those properties. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses, such as those due to acts of war that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Although we have obtained coverage for certain acts of terrorism, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are commercially reasonable, it is not certain that we 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 responded to recent trends towards increasing costs and decreasing coverage availability in the insurance markets by obtaining higher-deductible property insurance from third party insurers and by forming a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Arcata National Insurance Ltd. (“Arcata”) in December 2001. Arcata provides insurance coverage for all or a portion of losses below the increased deductible under the third party policies. The Company capitalized Arcata in accordance with regulatory requirements. Arcata established annual premiums based on projections derived from the past loss experience at the Company’s properties. Annually, the Company engages an independent third party to perform an actuarial estimate of future projected claims and projected expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Arcata may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Arcata have a retrospective component, so that if expenses, including losses, are less than premiums collected, the excess will be returned to the property owners (and, in turn, as appropriate, to the customers) and conversely, subject to certain limitations, if expenses, including losses, are greater than premiums collected, an additional premium will be charged. As with all recoverable expenses,

differences between estimated and actual insurance premiums will be recognized in the subsequent year. Through this structure, the Company believes that it will be able to obtain insurance for its portfolio with more comprehensive coverage at a projected overall lower cost than would otherwise be available in the market.

17.     Segment Information

     The Company operates industrial and retail properties in North America and France and manages its business both by property type and by market. Industrial properties represent more than 98% of the Company’s portfolio by rentable square feet and consist primarily of warehouse distribution facilities suitable for single or multiple customers and are typically comprised of multiple buildings that are leased to customers engaged in various types of businesses. As of December 31, 2002, the Company operated industrial properties in eight hub and gateway markets in addition to 20 other markets throughout North America and France. The Company’s geographic markets for industrial properties are managed separately because each market requires different operating, pricing and leasing strategies. As of December 31, 2002, the Company operated retail properties in Southeast Florida, Atlanta, Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston and Baltimore. The Company does not separately manage its retail operations by market. Retail properties are generally leased to

one or more anchor customers, such as grocery and drug stores and various retail businesses. 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.

     Within the hub and gateway market categorization, the Company operates in eight major U.S. markets. The other industrial markets category captures all of the Company’s other smaller markets.
