PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General:
Business
ProLogis (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships ProLogis) is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns (directly or through unconsolidated investees), operates and develops industrial distribution properties in North America (the United States and Mexico), Europe (11 countries) and Asia (Japan). ProLogis has initiated operations in China, but ProLogis owned no real estate assets in China at March 31, 2004. ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
ProLogis business consists of two reportable business segments: property operations and the corporate distribution facilities services business (CDFS business). The property operations segment represents the long-term ownership, management and leasing of distribution properties. The CDFS business segment primarily encompasses the development of distribution properties that are either contributed to an unconsolidated property fund in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, ProLogis will acquire distribution properties in the CDFS business segment that are generally rehabilitated and/or repositioned prior to being contributed to a property fund. See Note 10.
Principles of Financial Presentation
ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The accounts of ProLogis, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements and are presented in ProLogis functional currency, the U.S. dollar. ProLogis consolidates all entities in which it owns a majority voting interest and those variable interest entities, as defined, in which it is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions, including transactions with unconsolidated investees, have been eliminated.
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of ProLogis as of March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited and, pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted. Management of ProLogis believes that the disclosures presented are adequate; however, these interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with ProLogis December 31, 2003 audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued in January 2003 and revised in December 2003. The revised Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R) was adopted by ProLogis as of January 1, 2004. FIN 46R clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires that variable interest entities in which ProLogis is the primary beneficiary be presented on a consolidated basis in its financial statements. As a result of adopting FIN 46R, ProLogis began consolidating its investments in TCL Holding S.A. (TCL Holding), formerly Frigoscandia Holding S.A., and CSI/Frigo LLC, a company that holds the voting ownership interest in TCL Holding, as of January 1, 2004. Through December 31, 2003, ProLogis presented its investments in TCL Holding and CSI/Frigo LLC under the equity method. ProLogis combined effective ownership in these entities was 99.75% at December 31, 2003. None of ProLogis other unconsolidated investees are variable interest entities as defined in FIN 46R. Therefore, ProLogis will continue to present its investments in these entities under the equity method. See Note 3.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and
7
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts included in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 financial statement presentation.
Proposed Acquisition Transaction
On May 3, 2004, ProLogis and certain private REIT subsidiaries of established investment funds (the Fund Partners) established five property funds (the Acquiring Property Funds). Also on that date, ProLogis and the Acquiring Property Funds entered into an agreement to acquire the outstanding equity and operating units of Keystone Property Trust (Keystone) (the Keystone Transaction). ProLogis has a 20% ownership interest in the Acquiring Property Funds with the remainder owned by the Fund Partners. As part of the Keystone Transaction, ProLogis, through a wholly owned subsidiary, will directly acquire certain assets of Keystone. Consideration for the common equity of Keystone will be paid in cash at $23.80 per share. ProLogis anticipates that a portion of the consideration that it pays will be in the form of limited partnership units that are convertible into ProLogis common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (Common Shares). Keystone, a publicly traded REIT, owns and leases industrial distribution properties located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina and Ohio. The Keystone Acquisition is subject to the approval of Keystones shareholders.
Collectively, the Acquiring Property Funds would acquire $1.37 billion of assets from Keystone, including 22.9 million square feet of operating properties. ProLogis direct acquisition includes operating properties aggregating 2.4 million square feet, Keystones 20% ownership interests in two unconsolidated entities that own 7.7 million square feet of operating properties, Keystones 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated entity that is developing a 0.8 million square foot property and land positions aggregating 126 acres. The assets to be acquired directly by ProLogis are valued at $290.0 million. The Acquiring Property Funds anticipate that Keystones existing direct fixed-rate obligations will be retired after the closing date. The combined value of the Keystone Transaction is estimated to be $1.66 billion, including the assumption of liabilities and transaction expenses.
In anticipation of the proposed transaction, the Acquiring Property Funds have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of the future interest payments associated with the secured debt that the Acquiring Property Funds anticipate will be obtained as part of the financing of the Keystone Transaction. ProLogis believes that the interest rate swap agreements qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of the interest rate swap agreements are subject to an indemnification agreement between the Acquiring Property Funds and ProLogis. Under the indemnification agreement, ProLogis is obligated to make any settlement payments that may become due and, alternatively, ProLogis is entitled to receive any settlement proceeds that may be paid. This indemnification agreement relates to interest swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $185.2 million, the approximate amount of the secured debt to be obtained by the Acquiring Property Funds attributable to ProLogis 20% ownership interest.
Keystone will file a proxy statement with the SEC related to the Keystone Transaction. ProLogis anticipates that the Keystone Transaction will close during the third quarter of 2004.

(4) | Land held for future development consisted of 2,625 acres at March 31, 2004 and 2,706 acres at December 31, 2003. | |
(5) | Other investments include: (i) earnest money deposits associated with potential acquisitions; (ii) costs incurred during the pre-acquisition due diligence process; and (iii) costs incurred during the pre-construction phase related to future development projects. |
ProLogis directly owned real estate assets are located in North America (the United States and Mexico), 11 countries in Europe and in Japan. No individual market in any country, as defined by ProLogis and presented in Item 2 of its 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, represents more than 10% of ProLogis total real estate assets, before depreciation.
Operating Lease Agreements
ProLogis leases its operating properties to customers under agreements that are generally classified as operating leases. At March 31, 2004, minimum lease payments on leases with lease periods greater than one year for space in ProLogis directly owned properties for the remainder of 2004 and the other years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2008 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

3. Unconsolidated Investees:

Summary of Investments and Income
Since 1997, ProLogis has invested in various entities in which its ownership interest is less than 100% and in which it does not have control as defined under GAAP. Accordingly, these investments are presented under the equity method in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Generally, these entities are not variable interest entities as defined in FIN 46R (see Note 1). Certain of these investments were originally structured such that ProLogis ownership interest would allow ProLogis to continue to comply with the requirements of the Code to qualify as a REIT. However, with respect to ProLogis investments in property funds, having an ownership interest of 50% or less is part of ProLogis business strategy. This business strategy allows ProLogis to realize, for financial reporting purposes, a portion of the profits from its development activities, raise private equity capital or issue private debt instruments, generate fee income, provide liquidity to fund its future development activities, while still allowing ProLogis to maintain a long-term ownership interest in its developed properties.
ProLogis investments in entities that were accounted for under the equity method are summarized by type of investee as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

ProLogis recognizes income or losses from its investments in its unconsolidated investees consisting of its proportionate shares of the net earnings or losses of these investees recognized under the equity method and interest income on advances made to these investees, if any. Further, ProLogis earns fees for providing services to the property funds. The amounts recognized by ProLogis from its investments in unconsolidated investees are summarized as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Property Funds
Since 1999, ProLogis has formed eight property funds. ProLogis ownership interests in these property funds range from 14% to 50%. The property funds own operating properties that have generally been contributed to the property funds by ProLogis. In most cases, ProLogis receives ownership interests in the property funds as part of the proceeds received from these contributions. ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of each property fund under the equity method. ProLogis earns fees for acting as the manager of each of the property funds and may earn additional fees by providing other services to certain of the property funds including, but not limited to, development and leasing activities performed on their behalf.
ProLogis investments in the eight property funds, presented under the equity method, were as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

| Property management and asset management fees recognized by ProLogis were $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
(9) | Under GAAP, a portion of the proceeds resulting from ProLogis contribution of properties to the property funds are deferred due to ProLogis continuing ownership in the property fund that acquires the property. The amount of the proceeds that ProLogis is unable to recognize in computing the gain on the contribution is recorded as a reduction to ProLogis balance sheet investment in the property fund that acquires the property. The proceeds that have not been recognized are eventually recognized when ProLogis adjusts its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the property fund, recognized under the equity method, to reflect lower depreciation expense within the property fund. The lower depreciation expense is the result of ProLogis reduced investment in the property fund and, accordingly, its lower basis in the contributed properties. The proceeds not recognized are eventually recognized in income by ProLogis if the property fund disposes of a property to a third party that was originally contributed to the property fund by ProLogis. ProLogis also recognizes gains associated with the previously deferred proceeds in amounts proportionate to reductions in its ownership interest in the property fund after the contribution is made. If a loss results when a property is contributed to a property fund, the entire loss is recognized. | |||
(10) | Includes costs associated with ProLogis investment in the property fund and ProLogis proportionate share of the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss recognized by ProLogis European Properties Fund |

(cumulative translation adjustments and hedge accounting adjustments) and ProLogis Japan Properties Fund (cumulative translation adjustments). |
ProLogis, from time to time, enters into Special Limited Contribution Agreements (SLCA) in connection with certain of its contributions of properties to certain of its property funds. Under the SLCAs, ProLogis is obligated to make an additional capital contribution to the respective property fund under certain circumstances, the occurrence of which ProLogis believes to be remote. Specifically, ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution to the property fund if the property funds third-party lender, whose loans to the property fund are generally secured by the property funds assets and are non-recourse, does not receive a specified minimum level of debt repayment. However, the proceeds received by the third-party lender from the exhaustion of all of the assets of the property fund combined with the debt repayments received directly from the property fund will reduce ProLogis obligations under the SLCA on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ProLogis potential obligations under the respective SLCAs, as a percentage of the assets in the property funds, range from 2% to 28%. Accordingly, the value of the assets of the respective property funds would have to decline by between 98% and 72% before ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution. ProLogis believes that the likelihood of declines in the values of the assets that support the third-party loans of the magnitude necessary to require an additional capital contribution is remote, especially in light of the geographically diversified portfolios of properties owned by the property funds. Accordingly, these potential obligations have not been recognized as a liability by ProLogis at March 31, 2004 and ProLogis has assessed a nominal value to the guarantee undertaken through the SLCAs. The potential obligations under the SLCAs aggregate $402.8 million at March 31, 2004 and the combined book value of the assets in the property funds, before depreciation, that are subject to the provisions of the SLCAs was approximately $5.4 billion at March 31, 2004.
In August 2003, ProLogis entered into an indemnification agreement with ProLogis European Properties Fund whereby ProLogis would indemnify ProLogis European Properties Fund for certain future capital gains tax liabilities that could be incurred by ProLogis European Properties Fund. The indemnification agreement applies to properties that ProLogis contributes to ProLogis European Properties Fund after March 31, 2003. ProLogis contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund are structured as contributions of the shares of companies that own the real estate assets. Accordingly, the capital gains tax liability associated with the step up in the value, if any, of the underlying real estate assets is deferred and transferred to ProLogis European Properties Fund at contribution. ProLogis has agreed to indemnify ProLogis European Properties Fund if ProLogis European Properties Fund: (i) is subject to capital gains tax as a result of a direct sale of the real estate asset, as opposed to a transaction in which the shares of the company owning the real estate asset are transferred or sold or (ii) must grant a discount to the buyer of shares under a share transfer transaction because the embedded capital gain tax liability is being transferred to the buyer of the shares. Further, if an initial public offering of units in ProLogis European Properties Fund is undertaken, ProLogis has indemnified the unit holders of ProLogis European Properties Fund in the event the unit holders receive a discount to the value of their units because the capital gain tax liability is being transferred to the holders of units in the new public entity. The agreement limits the amount that is subject to ProLogis indemnification to 100% of the capital gains tax liability that is deferred and transferred by ProLogis to ProLogis European Properties Fund at the time of the initial contribution. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, ProLogis has recognized a deferred income tax liability of $5.7 million associated with the contributions of 21 properties to ProLogis European Properties Fund during the period from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004.
Summarized financial information of the property funds as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is presented below (in millions of U.S. dollars). The information presented is for the entire entity, not ProLogis proportionate share of the entity.

CDFS Business Investees
ProLogis has active investments in three joint ventures (the CDFS Joint Ventures) that perform some of ProLogis CDFS business activities in the United Kingdom. ProLogis discontinued its participation and significantly reduced its investment in a fourth CDFS Joint Venture in November 2003. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the CDFS Joint Ventures is 50%. ProLogis combined investment in the CDFS Joint Ventures was $11.9 million and $12.7 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The CDFS Joint Ventures are presented under the equity method.
Collectively, the CDFS Joint Ventures owned 57 acres of land at both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, with the capacity for the future development of 0.3 million square feet of distribution properties. Also, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the CDFS Joint Ventures collectively controlled (through contracts, options or letters of intent) 368 acres of land and 398 acres of land, respectively, with the capacity for the future development of 7.1 million and 7.6 million square feet of distribution properties, respectively. The CDFS Joint Ventures own no operating properties.
The CDFS Joint Ventures in which ProLogis currently actively participates engage primarily in development activities (currently the holding of land positions for future development). The CDFS Joint Venture in which ProLogis ceased its participation and significantly reduced its investment during 2003 owned 11 operating properties at March 31, 2003. Based on its investment in this entity, ProLogis recognized $0.3 million of income under the equity method during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

ProLogis ownership interests in TCL Holding and CSI/Frigo LLC, a holding company that has an ownership interest in TCL Holding, did not result in ProLogis having ownership of or control of the voting common stock or the voting membership interests of these entities. Therefore, these entities were not consolidated in ProLogis financial statements in 2003. However, upon adopting FIN 46R, ProLogis was required to consolidate these investments as of January 1, 2004. See Note 1. | |

(1) | CSI/Frigo LLC recognized its 5% share of the net earnings or losses of TCL Holding under the equity method based on its ownership of 100% of TCL Holdings voting common stock. ProLogis non-voting membership interest in CSI/Frigo entitles it to recognize 89% of the net earnings or losses of CSI/Frigo LLC. However, ProLogis and CSI/Frigo LLC have entered into a note agreement that allows ProLogis to participate in up to 95% of CSI/Frigo LLCs net earnings or losses. | |
(2) | ProLogis directly owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of TCL Holding, representing a 95% interest in the net earnings or losses of TCL Holding.

(3) | ProLogis, through TCL Holding, has a 50% ownership interest in an operating company and recognizes its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of this entity under the equity method. While ProLogis investment in TCL Holding was presented under the equity method, this income was not separately reported in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. |
4. Discontinued Operations:
Discontinued operations are defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 further provides that the assets and liabilities of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations be presented separately in the entitys balance sheet. The results of operations of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are reported as discontinued operations in the entitys statement of earnings.
Properties that ProLogis disposed of to third parties are considered to be discontinued operations unless such properties were developed by ProLogis under a pre-sale agreement. However, properties that ProLogis contributes to property funds in which ProLogis maintains an ownership interest and acts as manager are not considered to be discontinued operations due to ProLogis continuing involvement with the properties. Discontinued operations recognized directly by ProLogis unconsolidated investees, if any, are not required to be reflected separately from ProLogis investment balance or separately from the net earnings or losses of those entities of which ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share under the equity method.
During the period prior to the contribution or sale but after the completion of CDFS business activities (development, rehabilitation or repositioning), ProLogis includes CDFS business assets in its operating portfolio and as a part of the property operations segment. See Note 10. These assets do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale or as discontinued operations.
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2004, ProLogis reported discontinued operations as follows:
| Assets held for sale: Represents the operations in France of ProLogis temperature-controlled distribution investee, TCL Holding. See Notes 1 and 3. |
19
| Assets sold in 2004: During the three months ended March 31, 2004, ProLogis disposed of seven properties to third parties that had not been developed under pre-sale agreements. ProLogis has reported the operations of these properties and the net gains or losses resulting from their dispositions as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Accordingly, the operations of these properties for the three months ended March 31, 2003 have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for that period. |
Assets Held For Sale

TCL Holdings operations in France that are classified as held for sale generated net income of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. ProLogis began consolidating its investments in TCL Holding as of January 1, 2004 (see Notes 1 and 3). These operations were classified as held for sale in 2003. However, because ProLogis investments in TCL Holding were presented under the equity method during 2003, ProLogis was not required to reflect the portion of its investments in TCL Holding related to the French operations or the portion of its earnings recognized under the equity method attributable to the French operations separately as discontinued operations in 2003.
Assets Sold in 2004
ProLogis recognized a net gain of $4.9 million from the dispositions of the seven properties that meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations in 2004. Three of the seven properties were CDFS business assets. These properties generated an aggregate net gain of $5.4 million from aggregate net disposition proceeds of $68.2 million. The remaining four properties disposed of in the first quarter of 2004 were held in ProLogis property operations segment. The dispositions of these properties generated an aggregate net loss of $0.5 million. See Note 10.
The operating amounts attributable to the seven properties that are presented as discontinued operations (other than the net gain or loss recognized upon disposition) are as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

5. Borrowings:
Euro Denominated Debt Offering
In April 2004, ProLogis issued 350.0 million euro of notes that are registered on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Euro Notes). The Euro Notes will mature in April 2011 and bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 4.375% per annum (an effective interest rate of 4.414% per annum) to be paid on an annual basis beginning in April 2005. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Euro Notes were 347.8 million euro. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay 76.8 million euro of borrowings under one of ProLogis revolving lines of credit. The remaining cash (approximately $329.8 million) was repatriated to the United States.
6. Shareholders Equity:
Common Shares
ProLogis had 181,222,238 and 180,182,615 Common Shares outstanding at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
ProLogis issues Common Shares under various Common Share Plans:
| 1999 Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, amended in November 2002 (the 1999 Common Share Plan): Allows holders of Common Shares to automatically reinvest Common Share distributions and certain holders and persons who are not holders of Common Shares to purchase a limited number of additional Common Shares by making optional cash payments, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. Common Shares that are acquired under the 1999 Common Share Plan, either through reinvestment of distributions or through optional cash payments, are acquired at a price ranging from 98% to 100% of the market price of such Common Shares, as determined by ProLogis. ProLogis generated net proceeds of $6.0 million from the issuance of 166,000 Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2004 under the 1999 Common Share Plan. | |||
| Long-term incentive plan (the Incentive Plan) and Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the Outside Trustees Plan): Certain employees and outside members of the Board of Trustees (the Board) participate in these plans which provide compensation, generally in the form of Common Shares. Under the Incentive Plan and the Outside Trustees Plan, ProLogis generated net proceeds from the exercise of share options and other awards of $12.7 million from the issuance of 856,000 Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Also in 2004, certain employees who earned awards under the Incentive Plan received cash payments in lieu of Common Shares of $0.3 million. | |||
| ProLogis Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the Employee Share Plan): Employees of ProLogis and its participating entities may purchase Common Shares, through payroll deductions only, at a discounted price of 85% of the market price of the Common Shares, subject to certain restrictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, 12,000 Common Shares were purchased, generating net proceeds to ProLogis of $0.3 million. |
In 2004, ProLogis issued 5,000 Common Shares upon exchange of limited partnership units in one of ProLogis majority-owned and controlled real estate partnerships.
Preferred Shares
At March 31, 2004, ProLogis had three series of preferred shares of beneficial interest (Preferred Shares) outstanding (Series C Preferred Shares, Series F Preferred Shares and Series G Preferred Shares). Holders of each series of Preferred Shares outstanding have, subject to certain conditions, limited voting rights and all holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends based upon each series respective liquidation preference. Such dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December. Dividends on Preferred Shares are payable when, and if, they have been declared by the Board, out of funds legally available
21
for the payment of dividends. After the respective redemption dates, each series of Preferred Shares can be redeemed at ProLogis option. The cash redemption price (other than the portion consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) with respect to Series C Preferred Shares is payable solely out of the cumulative sales proceeds of other capital shares of ProLogis, which may include shares of other series of Preferred Shares. With respect to the payment of dividends, each series of Preferred Shares ranks on parity with ProLogis other series of Preferred Shares.
ProLogis Preferred Shares outstanding at March 31, 2004 are summarized as follows (amounts in U.S. dollars as applicable):

Series G Preferred Shares |
5,000,000 | $ | 25.00 | 6.75 | % | $1.69 per share | 12/30/08 |
ProLogis remaining outstanding Series D Preferred Shares (5,000,000 shares) were redeemed on January 12, 2004 at the price of $25.00 per share, plus $0.066 in accrued and unpaid dividends. The total redemption value (including accrued dividends) was $125.3 million. ProLogis recognized a charge of $4.2 million representing the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of the Series D Preferred Shares redeemed.
7. Distributions and Dividends:
Common Share Distributions
In December 2003, the Board announced a projected increase in the annual distribution level for 2004 from $1.44 to $1.46 per Common Share. The payment of Common Share distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is dependent upon ProLogis financial condition and operating results, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year. A distribution of $0.365 per Common Share for the first quarter of 2004 was declared on January 29, 2004. This distribution was paid on February 27, 2004 to holders of Common Shares on February 13, 2004.
Preferred Share Dividends
The annual dividends on ProLogis Preferred Shares are $4.27 per share (Series C) and $1.6875 per share (Series F and Series G). On March 31, 2004, ProLogis paid a quarterly dividend of $1.0675 per share (Series C) and $0.421875 per share (Series F and Series G).
Pursuant to the terms of its Preferred Shares, ProLogis is restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the then-current dividend period with respect to the Preferred Shares.
8. Earnings Per Common Share:
Reconciliations of the denominator used to calculate basic net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share to the denominator used to calculate diluted net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share for the periods indicated are as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):

(1) | Total weighted average potentially dilutive instruments outstanding were 11,734,000 and 10,962,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Of the total potentially dilutive instruments, 4,000 and 411,000 were antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. | |
(2) | Weighted average limited partnership units of 4,683,000 and 4,791,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share as the effect, on an as-converted basis, was antidilutive. |
9. Long-Term Compensation:
ProLogis recognizes the costs of its share-based compensation plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, that allow ProLogis to continue to account for these plans using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the share options granted equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying share on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. SFAS No. 123 requires that the fair value of the share options granted be recognized as compensation expense, regardless of the relationship of the exercise price to the market price. ProLogis grants share options to employees and members of its Board that have an exercise price that is equal to the average of the high and low market prices on the day the options are granted. Therefore, no compensation expense is recognized. ProLogis recognizes compensation expense if the terms of the share options or other instruments awarded are changed in such a manner that the variable accounting rules as provided in APB No. 25 become applicable.
Had compensation expense been recognized by ProLogis for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 using an option valuation model as provided in SFAS No. 123, ProLogis net earnings attributable to Common Shares and net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share for these periods would have changed as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):

10. Business Segments:
ProLogis has two reportable business segments:
| Property operations Representing the long-term ownership, management and leasing of industrial distribution properties in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan (either directly or through investments in unconsolidated property funds in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager). Each operating property and each investment in a property fund is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. | |||
| CDFS business representing the development, acquisition and rehabilitation and/or acquisition and repositioning of industrial distribution properties in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan with the intent to contribute the properties to unconsolidated property funds in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager or to sell the developed properties to third parties. Additionally, ProLogis earns fees for development activities on behalf of customers or third parties and realizes profits from the sales of land parcels when their development plans no longer include the development parcels. The separate activities in this segment are considered to be individual operating segments having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. |
The assets of the CDFS business segment generally include properties under development and land held for development. During the period between the completion of development, rehabilitation or repositioning of a property and the date the property is contributed to a property fund or sold to a third party, the property and its associated rental income and rental expenses are included in the property operations segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss is part of the net operating income of the CDFS business segment. Certain sales to third parties are presented as discontinued operations. See Note 4.
For both of ProLogis reportable business segments, reconciliations are presented below for: (i) income from external customers to ProLogis total revenues; (ii) net operating income from external customers to ProLogis net earnings before minority interest; and (iii) assets to ProLogis total assets. ProLogis chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The components of ProLogis earnings before minority interest that are also components of net operating income are allocated to each reportable operating segment. All other items are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars:

12. Derivative Financial Instruments:
ProLogis uses derivative financial instruments as hedges to manage well-defined risk associated with interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on existing or anticipated obligations and transactions. ProLogis does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market risk and credit risk. Market risk is defined as the potential for loss in the value of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates). The use of derivative financial instruments allows ProLogis to manage the risks of
27
increases in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the effects these fluctuations would have on ProLogis income and cash flows.
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. ProLogis does not obtain collateral to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties, primarily global commercial banks. ProLogis does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counterparties to its derivative instruments. However, should a counterparty fail to perform, ProLogis would incur a financial loss to the extent of the positive fair market value of the derivative contracts, if any.
The following table summarizes the activity in ProLogis derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2004 (in millions of U.S. dollars):

(1) | The foreign currency put option contracts are paid in full at execution and are related to ProLogis operations in Europe and Japan. The put option contracts provide ProLogis with the option to exchange euro, pound sterling or yen for U.S. dollars at a fixed exchange rate such that, if the euro, pound sterling or yen were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar to predetermined levels as set by the contracts, ProLogis could exercise its options and mitigate its foreign currency exchange losses. The notional amounts of the put option contracts outstanding at March 31, 2004 represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of 27.9 million euro, 9.9 million pound sterling and 435.2 million yen. The outstanding contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and were marked-to-market through results of operations at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. | |
(2) | The foreign currency forward swap contracts are designated as net investment hedges of certain of ProLogis investments in Europe. The contracts allow ProLogis to sell euro at a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar and are settled at maturity. The contracts were entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the Euro Notes (see Note 5). ProLogis entered into two new contracts during the first quarter of 2004 bringing the aggregate notional amount of all of the contracts to 97.5 million euro at March 31, 2004. The contracts were settled in April 2004 when the Euro Notes were issued (see Note 5). These contracts qualified for hedge accounting treatment. ProLogis recognized a mark-to-market adjustment representing a decrease in the value of the contracts of $0.4 million for the three months in 2004 with the total decrease in value since origination of the contracts of $0.4 million in other comprehensive income in shareholders equity at March 31, 2004. | |
(3) | The interest rate swap contracts were related to an anticipated transaction (the issuance of the Euro Notes see Note 5) and were designated as cash flow hedges. The contracts allowed ProLogis to fix a portion of the interest rate associated with the seven-year Euro Notes that were issued in April 2004. These derivative contracts qualified for hedge accounting treatment. ProLogis recognized a mark-to-market adjustment representing a decrease in the value of the contracts of $5.7 million for the three months in 2004 resulting in a total decrease in value since origination of the contracts of $5.6 million in other comprehensive income in shareholders equity at March 31, 2004. No ineffectiveness was recognized on these agreements. Amounts reported in other comprehensive income related to these derivative contracts will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Euro Notes. ProLogis entered into two new contracts in January 2004. The combined notional amount of interest rate swap contracts represents the U.S. dollar equivalent of 75.0 million euro. All of the contracts matured on March 25, 2004. |

13. Commitments and Contingencies:
Environmental Matters
All of the properties acquired by ProLogis were subjected to environmental reviews by either ProLogis or by the predecessor owners. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability (including any asbestos related liability) that ProLogis believes would have a material adverse effect on ProLogis business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, ProLogis is not currently aware of any environmental liability (including any asbestos related liability) that ProLogis believes would have a material adverse effect on ProLogis business, financial condition or results of operations.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004, and the related consolidated condensed statements of earnings and comprehensive income and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 3, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report refers to our audit of the adjustments that were applied to revise the 2001 consolidated financial statements, as more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements other than with respect to such adjustments. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Some statements contained in this discussion are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because these forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which ProLogis operates, managements beliefs and assumptions made by management, they involve uncertainties that could significantly impact ProLogis financial results. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include discussions of strategy, plans or intentions of management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The discussions concerning ProLogis expectations with respect to economic conditions in the geographic areas where it has operations and its ability to raise private capital and generate income in the CDFS business segment (including the discussions with respect to ProLogis expectations as to the availability of capital in its existing property funds such that these property funds will be able to acquire ProLogis stabilized developed properties that are expected to be available for contribution in the future) contain forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect outcomes and results include: (i) changes in general economic conditions in ProLogis markets that could adversely affect demand for ProLogis properties and the creditworthiness of ProLogis customers; (ii) changes in financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect ProLogis cost of capital, its ability to meet its financial needs and obligations and its results of operations; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for distribution properties in ProLogis markets; (iv) the availability of private capital to ProLogis; (v) geopolitical concerns and uncertainties; and (vi) those additional factors discussed in ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) | ProLogis ownership interests in the property funds ranged from 14% to 50% at both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and from 14.5% to 50% at March 31, 2003. |
The net operating income of ProLogis property operations segment consists of: (i) rental income and rental expenses from the operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis; (ii) income recognized by ProLogis under the equity method from its investments in the property funds; (iii) fees and other income earned by ProLogis for services performed on behalf of the property funds, primarily property management and asset management services; and (iv) interest earned on advances to the property funds, if any. The net operating income generated by operating properties that were developed or acquired in the CDFS business segment are included in the property operations segment during the interim period that these properties are included in the property operations segment, generally from the date of completion or acquisition through the date the properties are contributed or sold. See Note 10 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
The amounts recognized under the equity method represent ProLogis proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of each property fund based on its ownership interest in the property fund. The net earnings or losses of the property funds include the following income and expense items, in addition to rental income and rental expenses: (i) interest income and interest expense; (ii) depreciation and amortization expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; (iv) income taxes; and (v) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, with respect to ProLogis European Properties Fund.

(1) | Amounts do not include rental income and expenses associated with seven properties that are presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Item 1. These amounts are: |
| Rental income of $139,000 for 2004 and $110,000 for 2003 and | |||
| Rental expenses of $98,000 for 2004 and $33,000 for 2003. |
(2) | The number and composition of operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis throughout the periods presented impact rental income for each period. Rental income for the three months in 2004 includes $0.6 million of termination and renegotiation fees as compared to similar fees recognized for the same period in 2003 of $3.9 million. In certain leasing situations, ProLogis finds it advantageous to negotiate lease terminations with a customer, particularly when the customer is experiencing financial difficulties or when ProLogis believes that it can re-lease the space at rates that, when combined with the termination fee, provide a total return to ProLogis in excess of what was being earned under the original lease terms. ProLogis cannot predict the levels of such fees that will be earned in the future or whether ProLogis will be successful in re-leasing, in a timely manner, the vacant space associated with the lease terminations. | |||
Rental expense recoveries from customers, a component of rental income, were $27.0 million for the three months in 2004 and $26.5 million for the three months in 2003. Total rental expense recoveries were 73.7% and 72.4% of total rental expenses for the three-month periods in 2004 and 2003, respectively. | ||||
Rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees and rental expense recoveries, was $110.6 million for the three months in 2004 and $111.6 million for the same period in 2003. | ||||
(3) | The number and composition of operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis throughout the periods presented impact rental expenses for each period. Rental expenses are presented before any recoveries from customers, which are a component of rental income. Rental expenses as a percentage of rental income, before rental expense recoveries and termination and renegotiation fees, were 33.1% for the three months in 2004 as compared to 32.8% for the three months in 2003. | |||
(4) | The income from property funds includes fees earned by ProLogis for providing services to the property funds of $11.3 million for the three months in 2004 and $9.7 million for the three months in 2003. |
33
(5) | ProLogis ownership interest in each property fund was the same for both periods presented and each of the property funds was in operation with substantially the same portfolio of properties for both periods presented. ProLogis ownership interests are: ProLogis California (50%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund I (41.3%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund II (20%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund III (20%); and ProLogis North American Properties Fund IV (20%). The net earnings of each of these property funds did not change significantly in 2004 from the same period in 2003. With respect to each property fund, fluctuations in the amount that ProLogis recognizes under the equity method are generally due to occupancy levels and the amount of termination and renegotiation fees earned by the property fund. Additionally, ProLogis fees earned from services provided to the property funds, in addition to property management services, can fluctuate from period to period. | |||
(6) | ProLogis North American Properties Fund V has continued to acquire properties from ProLogis since it began operations in March 2002. At March 31, 2003, this property fund owned 70 properties aggregating 17.2 million square feet and, at March 31, 2004, it owned 97 properties aggregating 21.9 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis, North American Properties Fund V was 14.0% at March 31, 2004 and 14.5% at March 31, 2003. In 2003, ProLogis earned $1.0 million of fees from ProLogis North American Properties Fund V for services other than property and asset management. | |||
(7) | ProLogis European Properties Fund has continued to acquire properties from ProLogis since it began operations in September 1999. At March 31, 2003, this property fund owned 195 properties aggregating 38.0 million square feet and, at March 31, 2004, it owned 204 properties aggregating 41.9 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis European Properties Fund was 22.6% at March 31, 2004 and 29.8% at March 31, 2003. | |||
Amounts presented for ProLogis European Properties Fund include ProLogis proportionate share of net foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized by the property fund (net losses of $0.3 million and $9.4 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively). Excluding these net foreign currency exchange losses, ProLogis proportionate share of the net earnings of ProLogis European Properties Fund would be $9.8 million and $10.4 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the income recognized by ProLogis from its ownership in this property fund, excluding net foreign currency exchange losses, is primarily the result of ProLogis lower ownership interest in 2004 from the 2003 level which offsets the positive impact of the higher average foreign currency exchange rate at which ProLogis translated the 2004 net earnings of the ProLogis European Properties Fund to U.S. dollars. | ||||
(8) | ProLogis Japan Properties Fund has acquired a total of six properties aggregating 2.0 million square feet since it began operations in September 2002 (four of these properties were contributed to the property fund by ProLogis). At March 31, 2003, this property fund owned only one property aggregating 0.2 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis Japan Properties Fund was 20.0% at both March 31, 2004 and 2003. |
The stabilized operating properties owned by ProLogis and the property funds were 90.46% leased at March 31, 2004, 90.21% leased at December 31, 2003 and 90.77% leased at March 31, 2003. ProLogis defines its stabilized properties as those properties where the capital improvements, repositioning efforts, new management and new marketing programs for acquisitions or the marketing programs in the case of newly developed properties, have been completed and in effect for a sufficient period of time, generally 12 months. A property enters the stabilized pool at the earlier of 12 months or when it becomes substantially leased, which is defined by ProLogis generally as 93%.
ProLogis stabilized occupancy has been at consistent levels since early 2003 when weakening economic conditions in the United States and certain Western European countries resulted in a slowing of customer leasing decisions and a slowing in the absorption of new distribution properties in many of ProLogis markets. Additionally, ProLogis believes that geopolitical concerns and uncertainties, primarily in Europe, in the early part of 2003 also contributed to the slower leasing activity. With respect to Japan, ProLogis has not observed similar trends.
34
ProLogis does not expect economic conditions to change significantly in 2004 even though there were some positive trends in occupancy levels in certain markets in late 2003 and into 2004. While ProLogis believes that occupancies may increase in 2004, it does not believe that any increases will be significant. ProLogis continues to believe that shifts in distribution patterns of its customers in Europe and Japan and their needs to reduce their distribution costs have been, and will continue to be, key drivers of leasing decisions in many of its European markets and in Japan. ProLogis believes that the diversification of its global operating platform and the ProLogis Operating System® have somewhat mitigated the effects of market occupancy decreases.
Rental rates during the three months ended March 31, 2004 for both new and renewed leases for previously leased space (11.9 million square feet) for all properties including those owned by the property funds decreased by 5.5% as compared to a decrease in rental rates of 0.4% during the same period in 2003 for similar transactions. ProLogis believes that the negative rental rate growth experienced in 2004 continues to be the result of economic conditions that have negatively impacted the rental rates that can be charged in a particular market.
ProLogis same store portfolio of operating properties, properties owned by ProLogis and the property funds that were in operation throughout the entire three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, aggregated 207.2 million square feet. ProLogis views the operating results of the same store portfolio as a key component in evaluating the performance of its properties, its management personnel and its individual markets because this population is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. Net operating income, defined for the same store analysis as rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees, less rental expenses, generated by the same store portfolio increased by 0.70% for the three-month period in 2004 over the same period in 2003. For the three-month period in 2003, the net operating income of the same store portfolio applicable to that period decreased by 0.45% from the comparable 2002 period. The percentage change presented is the weighted average of the measure computed separately for ProLogis and each of the property funds with the weighting based on each entitys proportionate share of the combined component on which the change is computed. In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, the percentage change computation removes the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by computing each propertys components in that propertys functional currency.
Rental income computed under GAAP applicable to the properties included in the same store portfolio is adjusted to remove the net termination and renegotiation fees recognized in each period. Net termination and renegotiation fees excluded from rental income were $0.5 million for directly owned properties and $0.4 million for properties owned by the property funds for the 2004 period and $3.9 million for directly owned properties and $31,000 for properties owned by the property funds for the 2003 period. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate their lease, offset by that customers rent leveling asset that has been previously recognized under GAAP, if any. Removing the net termination fees from the same store calculation of rental income allows ProLogis management to evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental income without regard to items that are not indicative of the propertys recurring operating performance. Customer terminations are negotiated under specific circumstances and are not subject to specific provisions or rights allowed under the lease agreements.
In computing the percentage change in rental expenses, the rental expenses applicable to the properties in the same store portfolio include property management expenses for ProLogis directly owned properties. These expenses are based on the property management fee that is provided for in the individual agreements under which ProLogis wholly owned management company provides property management services to each property (generally the fee is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the management fee income earned by the management company and the management fee expense recognized by the properties are eliminated and the direct costs of providing management services are recognized as part of ProLogis rental expenses reported under GAAP.

CDFS Business
Net operating income from ProLogis CDFS business segment consists primarily of: (i) the gains and losses from the contributions and sales of developed properties and from the contributions of properties that were acquired with the intent to contribute the properties to a property fund, including properties that have been rehabilitated and/or repositioned; (ii) gains and losses from the dispositions of land parcels; and (iii) development management fees earned by ProLogis for services provided to third parties.
Income from the CDFS business segment is dependent on ProLogis ability to develop and timely lease properties, or to acquire properties that can be contributed to property funds or sold to third parties, generating profits to ProLogis, and ProLogis success in raising private capital to acquire its properties, generally through the formation of property funds, but also from other sources. For the three months in 2004, ProLogis net operating income in this segment decreased from the same period in 2003 by $2.9 million (an increase of $2.5 million when considering the gains from dispositions of CDFS business properties that are presented as discontinued operations). However, if the contingent proceeds recognized in 2004 related to a 2003 contribution are excluded, the net operating income of this segment (including discontinued operations) decreased by $2.2 million, net of deferral. The gains recognized reflect the lower volume of transactions in 2004 than in 2003 which ProLogis attributes primarily to longer lease-up periods for CDFS business properties resulting from a slowing of customers decision-making processes with respect to changes in their distribution networks. However, the 2004 transactions did result in improved margins from those realized in 2003. There can be no assurance that ProLogis will be able to maintain or increase the current level of net operating income in this segment. ProLogis cannot predict the effects that any economic and other uncertainties will continue to have on its ability to lease its properties, or the length of time that such uncertainties will continue. If ProLogis is unable to timely lease its completed developments, it will be unable to contribute these properties to property funds or otherwise dispose of the properties and would be unable to recognize profits from its development activities in the anticipated reporting period.
The CDFS business segments net operating income includes the following components for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | Represents the net gains from the dispositions of land parcels and contributions and sales of properties as follows: |
| 2004: 79 acres; 2.9 million square feet; and |
36
| 2003: 55 acres; 5.8 million square feet. |
(2) | A contribution to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund in 2003 provided for an additional $5.9 million of proceeds, the receipt of which was contingent on the satisfactory performance of certain activities by ProLogis. These activities were completed in 2004. The receipt of these proceeds resulted in the recognition of an additional gain in 2004 of $4.7 million, after deferral. | |||
(3) | When ProLogis contributes properties to a property fund in which it has an ownership interest, ProLogis does not recognize a portion of the proceeds in its computation of the gain resulting from the contribution. The amount of the proceeds that cannot be recognized is determined based on ProLogis continuing ownership interest in the contributed property that arises due to ProLogis ownership interest in the property fund that acquires the property. ProLogis defers this portion of the proceeds by recognizing a reduction to its balance sheet investment in the respective property fund. ProLogis adjusts its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses that it recognizes under the equity method from the property fund in later periods to reflect the property funds depreciation expense as if the depreciation expense was computed on ProLogis lower basis in the contributed properties rather than on the property funds basis in the contributed properties. If a loss results when a property is contributed to a property fund, the entire loss is recognized. | |||
When a property that ProLogis originally contributed to a property fund is disposed of to a third party, ProLogis recognizes the net amount of the proceeds that it had previously deferred in the period that the disposition to the third party occurs. Further, during periods when ProLogis ownership interest in a property fund decreases, ProLogis will recognize gains to the extent that previously deferred proceeds are recognized to coincide with ProLogis new ownership interest in the property fund. There were no decreases in ProLogis ownership interests in any of the property funds during the three months ended March 31, 2004. However, ProLogis ownership interests in certain of the property funds did decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2003. | ||||
(4) | Represents the income that ProLogis recognizes under the equity method from the CDFS Joint Ventures. ProLogis discontinued its participation and significantly reduced its investment in a CDFS Joint Venture in November 2003. The CDFS Joint Ventures in which ProLogis currently actively participates engage primarily in development activities (currently the holding of land positions for future development) and do not own any operating properties. The CDFS Joint Venture in which ProLogis ceased its participation and significantly reduced its investment during 2003 owned 11 operating properties at March 31, 2003. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the CDFS Joint Ventures is 50%. | |||
(5) | Includes land holding costs of $0.7 million for both periods and the write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs related to potential CDFS business segment projects of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods in 2004 and 2003, respectively. | |||
(6) | Three CDFS business properties aggregating 0.8 million square feet that were sold to third parties in 2004 met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations in 2004. See Note 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. |
ProLogis has continued to monitor leasing activity and general economic conditions in the United States as it pertains to its CDFS business segment operations with the expectation that an economic recovery, early signs of which have been observed, could provide increased CDFS business opportunities to ProLogis as companies continue optimizing their supply chains. ProLogis believes that the continued demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties in Europe could result in the acceleration of leasing decisions that would provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment; however, ProLogis continues to monitor the impacts of economic and other uncertainties that negatively impacted leasing in Europe during 2003. ProLogis believes its development activities will not be significantly affected by land entitlement constraints that currently exist in Europe because it has almost 1,900 acres of land owned or controlled in Europe at March 31, 2004 and its personnel are experienced in the land entitlement process. As in Europe, ProLogis believes that demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties in Japan will continue to provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment. ProLogis has not
37
observed similar trends in Japan with respect to economic and other uncertainties. In Japan, the CDFS business opportunities available to ProLogis will be limited if ProLogis is unable to acquire adequate land parcels for development.
Other Items
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $15.9 million for the same period in 2003. Included in the expense recognized for 2004 are $0.4 million of costs associated with TCL Holding that is presented on a consolidated basis only in 2004. See Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. General and administrative expense is primarily a function of the various business initiatives being undertaken in a given period and can vary from period to period based on ProLogis business activities. ProLogis has increased its business activities in Asia since March 2003.
Income from Other Unconsolidated Investees
Amounts recognized by ProLogis under the equity method from its investments in unconsolidated investees that do not own and operate real estate assets were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars). For a discussion of these unconsolidated investees, see Notes 3 and 10 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.

(1) | CSI/Frigo LLC recognized its 5% share of the net earnings or losses of TCL Holding under the equity method based on its ownership of 100% of TCL Holdings voting common stock. ProLogis non-voting membership interest in CSI/Frigo LLC entitles it to recognize 89% of the net earnings or losses of CSI/Frigo LLC. However, ProLogis and CSI/Frigo LLC have entered into a note agreement that allows ProLogis to participate in up to 95% of CSI/Frigo LLCs net earnings or losses. This investment is presented on a consolidated basis in 2004. See Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. | |
(2) | ProLogis directly owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of TCL Holding, representing a 95% interest in the net earnings or losses of TCL Holding. On a combined basis through its direct and indirect ownership interests, ProLogis recognized 99.75% of the net earnings of TCL Holding under the equity method during the three months ended March 31, 2003. This investment is presented on a consolidated basis in 2004. See Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. | |
(3) | ProLogis, through TCL Holding, has a 50% ownership interest in an operating company and recognizes its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of this entity under the equity method. While ProLogis investment in TCL Holding was presented under the equity method, this income was not separately reported in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. |

Interest Expense
Interest expense is a function of the level of borrowings outstanding, interest rates charged on borrowings and the amount of interest capitalization that is calculated based on the volume of ProLogis development activities. Interest expense for the periods indicated includes the following components (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Capitalized interest levels are reflective of ProLogis average cost of debt and the volume of development activities in each year. |
Gains Recognized on Dispositions of Non-CDFS Business Assets, Net
From time to time, ProLogis will contribute or sell properties that have been held for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment because such properties are determined to have become non-strategic properties. Non-strategic properties are assets located in markets or submarkets that are no longer considered to be target markets or they can be assets that were acquired as part of previous portfolio acquisitions that are not consistent with ProLogis core portfolio based on the assets size or configuration. Also, ProLogis may contribute properties that have been held for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment to complement the portfolio of CDFS business properties that are contributed to the property funds. The net gains or losses recognized from the contributions and sales of operating properties that were acquired or developed for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment that do not qualify as discontinued operations are presented below operating income in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Such transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2003 consisted of 0.3 million square feet of properties generating net proceeds of $38.4 million and an aggregate net gain of $0.4 million. All of the 2004 transactions are presented as discontinued operations (see"Discontinued Operations).
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Expenses/Losses), Net
ProLogis and certain of its foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt that is not denominated in that entitys functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. ProLogis attempts to mitigate its foreign currency exchange exposure by borrowing in the functional currency of the borrowing entity. Certain of ProLogis intercompany debt is remeasured with the resulting adjustment recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity. This treatment is given to intercompany debt that is deemed to be a permanent source of capital to the subsidiary or investee that has been structured as debt rather than equity due to tax considerations in the foreign country in which the subsidiary or investee operates. Additionally, ProLogis utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage certain of its foreign currency exchange risks, primarily put option contracts with notional amounts corresponding to ProLogis projected net income from its operations in Europe and Japan, and recognizes the expense associated with these contracts in results of operations, primarily the premium associated with the contract upon settlement. Interim period mark-to-market adjustments are also recognized. See Note 12 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Generally, the amount of net foreign currency exchange gains or losses recognized in results from operations is a function of movements in exchange rates, the levels of intercompany and third party debt outstanding and the currency in which such debt is denominated as compared to the functional currency of the entities that are parties to
39
the debt agreements. The net foreign currency exchange gains (expenses/losses) recognized in ProLogis results of operations were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | At the time certain debt balances are settled, remeasurement gains or losses that have been recognized in results of operations as unrealized are reversed and the cumulative foreign currency exchange gain or loss realized with respect to the settled balance is recognized in results of operations as a realized gain or loss in the period that the settlement occurs. | |
(2) | ProLogis enters into foreign currency put option contracts related to its operations in Europe and Japan. These put option contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, the cost of the contract is capitalized at the contracts inception and is marked-to-market by ProLogis as of the end of each subsequent reporting period. Upon expiration of the contract, the mark-to-market adjustment is reversed, the total cost of the contract is expensed and any proceeds received are recognized as a gain. |
Income Taxes
ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and is not generally required to pay federal income taxes if it meets the REIT requirements of the Code. ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries in the United States that are not qualified REIT subsidiaries for tax purposes are subject to federal income taxes, and ProLogis is taxed in certain states in which it operates. Also, the foreign countries where ProLogis has operations do not necessarily recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly, ProLogis recognizes income taxes for these jurisdictions in accordance with GAAP, as necessary.
Current income tax expense was $2.2 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods in 2004 and 2003, respectively. ProLogis recognized deferred income tax expense of $2.7 million and $1.0 million for the three-month periods in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Current income tax expense is generally a function of the level of income recognized by ProLogis taxable subsidiaries operating in the CDFS business segment in addition to state income taxes and taxes incurred in foreign jurisdictions. The deferred income tax component of total income taxes is a function of the periods temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for book purposes) and the utilization of tax net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred tax assets. In 2003, ProLogis began recognizing a deferred income tax liability associated with certain contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund based upon an indemnification agreement that was entered into in August 2003. Under this indemnification agreement, ProLogis will continue to recognize a deferred income tax liability related to its future contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund. Of the total deferred income tax expense recognized during 2004, $2.1 million is related to the indemnification agreement. See Note 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing
40
operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The assets and liabilities of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are presented separately in the balance sheet and the results of operations of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are reported as discontinued operations in the statement of earnings. See Note 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2004, ProLogis has reported discontinued operations as follows:
| Assets held for sale: TCL Holdings operations in France were classified as held for sale during 2003. However, because ProLogis investments in TCL Holding were presented under the equity method in 2003, ProLogis was not required to reflect the portion of the earnings of TCL Holding recognized under the equity method that are related to the French operations separately as discontinued operations in 2003. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the French operations generated net earnings of $3.4 million. | |||
| Assets sold in 2004: During the three months ended March 31, 2004, ProLogis disposed of seven properties to third parties that had not been developed under pre-sale agreements. ProLogis has reported the operations of these properties and the gain or loss resulting from their dispositions as discontinued operations. The sales of three CDFS business properties generated an aggregate net gain of $5.4 million (see CDFS Business) and the sales of four properties that were held and used in the property operations segment generated an aggregate net loss of $0.5 million (0.1 million square feet generating net proceeds of $4.5 million). The operations of these properties have been presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Item 1 for both the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The amounts attributable to these properties were a loss of $79,000 for the period in 2004 and income of $44,000 for the period in 2003. |
Excess of Redemption Value over Carrying Value of Preferred Shares Redeemed
ProLogis recognized charges to net earnings of $4.2 million, which represents the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of the remaining Series D Preferred Shares that were redeemed in January 2004. After this redemption, all of ProLogis series of Preferred Shares that have met their optional redemption date have been redeemed. The next optional redemption date for a series of Preferred Shares is in 2008.
Environmental Matters
ProLogis has not experienced any environmental condition associated with its properties which materially adversely affected its results of operations or financial position, nor is ProLogis aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. See Risk Factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
ProLogis considers its liquidity and its ability to generate cash from its operating activities, the contributions and sales of properties and other financing sources to be adequate and expects it to continue to be adequate to meet its anticipated future development, acquisition, operating and debt service needs, as well as its shareholder distribution requirements.
ProLogis expects that its primary cash needs will consist of the following for the remainder of 2004 and future years:
| Completion of the Keystone Transaction including the direct acquisition of properties by ProLogis (see Note 1 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1); |
41
| Acquisitions of land for future development; | |||
| Development and acquisitions of properties in the CDFS business segment; | |||
| Direct acquisitions of operating properties on a limited basis in key distribution markets for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment; and | |||
| Repayment of debt that is scheduled to mature. |
While ProLogis has a Common Share repurchase program under which it may repurchase an additional $84.1 million of Common Shares at May 5, 2004, ProLogis does not currently expect that it will require significant cash for this program in 2004.
ProLogis expects to fund its cash needs in 2004 and future years with cash from the following sources:
| Property operations; | |||
| Proceeds from the disposition of the French operations of TCL Holding that are classified as held for sale; | |||
| Proceeds from the contributions of properties to property funds; | |||
| Proceeds from the sales of properties to third parties; | |||
| Issuance of long-term debt, including the issuance of the Euro Notes in April 2004 which generated net proceeds of 347.8 million euro; | |||
| Utilization of ProLogis revolving lines of credit; and | |||
| Proceeds from the sales of Common Shares, including sales of Common Shares under ProLogis various Common Share plans, and sales of Preferred Shares. |
For its short-term borrowing needs, revolving lines of credit have provided, and are expected to continue to provide, ProLogis with the liquidity and financial flexibility that allows it to efficiently respond to market opportunities and execute its business strategy. Regular repayments of lines of credit borrowings, primarily with the proceeds from property contributions and sales and the proceeds from the issuance of longer-term debt that are expected to occur periodically during periods of favorable market conditions, allow ProLogis to maintain adequate liquidity.
At May 5, 2004, ProLogis had $1.52 billion of total borrowing capacities under its revolving lines of credit. ProLogis total outstanding borrowings were $769.3 million at May 5, 2004 resulting in additional short-term borrowing capacity available to ProLogis of approximately $710.7 million (after reducing the total borrowing capacities available by $40.2 million of letters of credit outstanding with certain of the lending banks). See Borrowing Capacities.
At May 5, 2004, ProLogis had $750.0 million of shelf-registered securities that can be issued in the form of debt securities, Preferred Shares, Common Shares, rights to purchase Common Shares and Preferred Share purchase rights on an as-needed basis, subject to ProLogis ability to affect an offering on satisfactory terms. ProLogis continues to evaluate the global public debt markets with the objective of reducing its short-term borrowings in favor of longer-term, fixed-rate debt, when it is deemed appropriate.
ProLogis is committed to offer to contribute its stabilized developed properties available in specific markets in Europe to ProLogis European Properties Fund through September 2019 and all of its stabilized developed properties available in Japan to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund through June 2006. ProLogis believes that, while the current capital commitments and borrowing capacities of these property funds will be expended prior to the expiration dates
42
of these commitments, each property fund does have sufficient capital to acquire the properties that ProLogis expects to have available during 2004.
ProLogis commitment to offer to contribute certain of its stabilized developed properties in North America to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V expired at the end of 2003. However, ProLogis North American Properties Fund V did acquire seven properties from ProLogis in the first quarter of 2004. While ProLogis North American Properties Fund Vs majority owner is a listed property trust in Australia that is able to raise capital in the public market, there can be no assurance that ProLogis North American Properties Fund V will have the available capital to acquire additional properties from ProLogis during the remainder of 2004 or, if capital is available, that ProLogis North American Properties Fund V will want to use its capital to acquire properties from ProLogis. Further, there can be no assurance that ProLogis will continue to offer to contribute properties to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V.
Should the property funds not have sufficient capital to acquire the properties that ProLogis has available, ProLogis is allowed to pursue other third party disposition opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that ProLogis can readily dispose of its CDFS business properties to third parties or that ProLogis could raise private capital through the formation of another property fund that would acquire the properties. Also, ProLogis could experience delays in completing dispositions to third parties or to new property funds. Such delays could result in the recognition of the expected development profits in a reporting period that is later than originally anticipated. See the discussion of risks factors involved with disposition of properties and the raising of capital in ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.2 million for the three months in 2004 and $65.2 million for the same period in 2003. Operational items that impact net cash provided by operating activities are discussed in Results of Operations. However, the primary reason for the lower cash provided by operating activities in 2003 is the change in working capital balances that is primarily a function of the timing of receipts and disbursements. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on Common Shares in each period.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the three months in 2004 and 2003, ProLogis investing activities used net cash of $197.2 million and $84.4 million, respectively. The net cash used is summarized as follows:
| ProLogis investing activities consist primarily of investments in real estate (both acquisition and development expenditures), as well as recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and lease commissions on previously leased space. These items aggregated $433.1 million in the first three months of 2004 and $310.3 million for the first three months in 2003. | |||
| ProLogis unconsolidated investees generated net cash to ProLogis of $15.1 million and $15.6 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively, consisting primarily of the periodic cash distributions made by the property funds to ProLogis. | |||
| Net cash generated from contributions and sales of properties and land parcels were $217.5 million and $210.4 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
For the three months in 2004, ProLogis financing activities used net cash of $57.7 million. For the three months in 2003, ProLogis financing activities generated net cash of $20.4 million. Excluding cash distributions on Common Shares and to minority interest holders and Preferred Share dividends paid in cash, ProLogis financing activities are summarized as follows:
| Generated net cash of $16.8 million in 2004 Net borrowings on ProLogis revolving lines of credit ($162.6 million) and net proceeds from sales and issuances of Common Shares ($18.7 million) were the primary sources of cash with the redemption of Preferred Shares ($125.0 million) and principal payments on debt ($38.6 million) the primary uses of cash; and |
43
| Generated net cash of $96.9 million in 2003 Long-term debt issuances ($331.0 million) were the primary sources of cash with net repayments on ProLogis revolving lines of credit ($151.6 million) and principal payments on long-term debt ($82.4 million) the primary uses of cash. |
Distributions paid to holders of Common Shares were $66.0 million and $64.3 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Distributions paid to minority interest holders were $1.8 million and $4.0 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Dividends paid on Preferred Shares were $6.7 million and $8.2 million for the three months in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Borrowing Capacities
ProLogis has over $1.5 billion of short-term borrowing capacities through six revolving lines of credit. ProLogis may borrow in four currencies. The revolving lines of credit are summarized below for the periods indicated (dollar amounts in millions of U.S. dollars, as applicable):

(2) | ProLogis had properties under development at March 31, 2004 with a total expected cost at completion of $862.1 million. ProLogis has entered into contracts for certain phases of the construction of these projects. However, these contracts do not generally cover all of the costs that are necessary to place the property into service, including the costs of tenant improvements and marketing and leasing costs. The unfunded commitments presented include all such costs, not only those costs that ProLogis is obligated to fund under construction contracts. | |
(3) | At March 31, 2004, ProLogis was committed to make additional equity contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund of 135.4 million euro (the currency equivalent of approximately $167.1 million at March 31, 2004) as required through September 15, 2009. For purposes of this presentation, the total commitment is included in the earliest time period as there is no schedule for when the commitment will be funded. | |
(4) | For purposes of this presentation the expiration dates of the credit agreements that provide ProLogis with six revolving lines of credit include extension periods that are at the option of ProLogis. See Borrowing Capacities. |
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
ProLogis Common Share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of its cash flow that ensures that ProLogis will meet the distribution requirements of the Code and that allows ProLogis to maximize the cash retained to meet other cash needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow typically will be greater than operating income and net earnings.
The Board set a projected annual distribution rate for 2004 of $1.46 per Common Share (as compared to actual distributions of $1.44 per Common Share in 2003). ProLogis paid a quarterly distribution of $0.365 per Common Share on February 27, 2004 to holders of Common Shares at February 13, 2004. The payment of Common Share distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board, is dependent on ProLogis financial condition and operating results and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year. ProLogis has increased its Common Share distribution level every year since its Common Shares became publicly traded in 1994.
At March 31, 2004, ProLogis had three series of Preferred Shares outstanding. The annual dividend rates on ProLogis Preferred Shares are $4.27 per Series C Preferred Share, $1.69 per Series F Preferred Share and $1.69 per Series G Preferred Share. Dividends on each series of Preferred Shares are paid on the last day of the calendar quarter and ProLogis paid a quarterly dividend on all series of its Preferred Shares on March 31, 2004.
47
Pursuant to the terms of its Preferred Shares, ProLogis is restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the then current dividend period with respect to the Preferred Shares.
Other Commitments
At March 31, 2004, ProLogis had letters of intent or contingent contracts, subject to ProLogis final due diligence, for the acquisition of properties aggregating 0.8 million square feet at an estimated total acquisition cost of $29.5 million. These transactions are subject to a number of conditions and ProLogis cannot predict with certainty that they will be consummated.
Under a Common Share repurchase program, ProLogis may repurchase up to $215.0 million of Common Shares. The Common Shares that have been repurchased to date were purchased in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market prices and other conditions. Future repurchases, if any, are expected to be through similar transactions. Through May 5, 2004, ProLogis has repurchased 5,571,000 Common Shares under this program at a total cost of $130.9 million. An additional $84.1 million of Common Shares may be repurchased under the program as of May 5, 2004. ProLogis does not currently expect that it will make significant Common Share repurchases in 2004.
ProLogis, from time to time, enters into Special Limited Contribution Agreements (SLCA) in connection with certain of its contributions of properties to certain of its property funds. Under the SLCAs, ProLogis is obligated to make an additional capital contribution to the respective property fund under certain circumstances, the occurrence of which ProLogis believes to be remote. Specifically, ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution to the property fund if the property funds third-party lender, whose loans to the property fund are generally secured by the property funds assets and are non-recourse, does not receive a specified minimum level of debt repayment. However, the proceeds received by the third-party lender from the exhaustion of all of the assets of the property fund combined with the debt repayments received directly from the property fund will reduce ProLogis obligations under the SLCA on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ProLogis potential obligations under the respective SLCAs, as a percentage of the assets in the property funds, range from 2% to 28%. Accordingly, the value of the assets of the respective property funds would have to decline by between 98% and 72% before ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution. ProLogis believes that the likelihood of declines in the values of the assets that support the third-party loans of the magnitude necessary to require an additional capital contribution is remote, especially in light of the geographically diversified portfolios of properties owned by the property funds. Accordingly, these potential obligations have not been recognized as a liability by ProLogis at March 31, 2004 and ProLogis has assessed a nominal value to the guarantee undertaken through the SLCAs. The potential obligations under the SLCAs aggregate $402.8 million at March 31, 2004 and the combined book value of the assets in the property funds, before depreciation, that are subject to the provisions of the SLCAs was approximately $5.4 billion at March 31, 2004.
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to funds from operations is Net Earnings. Although NAREIT has published a definition of funds from operations, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of funds from operations are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business. Funds from operations, as defined by ProLogis, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Funds from operations is not used by ProLogis as, nor should it be considered to be, an alternative to Net Earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of ProLogis operating performance or as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of ProLogis ability to fund its cash needs.
Funds from operations is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor does ProLogis intend it to present, a complete picture of its financial condition and operating performance. ProLogis believes that Net Earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that funds from operations is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with Net Earnings computed under GAAP. Further, ProLogis believes that its consolidated financial statements, prepared in
48
accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of its financial condition and its operating performance.
NAREITs funds from operations measure adjusts Net Earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. ProLogis agrees that these two NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(a) historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on Funds from Operations since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of funds from operations reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and the depreciation charges required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities.
(b) REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of funds from operations, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REITs activities and assists in comparing those operating results between periods.
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its funds from operations concept for the REIT industry, it also recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community. ProLogis believes that financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review its operating results are best served by a defined funds from operations measure that includes other adjustments to Net Earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of funds from operations.
The ProLogis defined funds from operations measure excludes the following items from Net Earnings computed under GAAP that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined funds from operations measure: (i) deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by ProLogis taxable subsidiaries; (ii) certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between ProLogis and its foreign consolidated subsidiaries and its foreign unconsolidated investees; (iii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of ProLogis foreign consolidated subsidiaries and its foreign unconsolidated investees; and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to manage ProLogis foreign currency risks. Funds from operations of ProLogis unconsolidated investees is calculated on the same basis as ProLogis.
The items that ProLogis excludes from Net Earnings computed under GAAP, while not infrequent or unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on ProLogis results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. Most importantly, the economics underlying the items that ProLogis excludes from Net Earnings computed under GAAP are not the primary drivers in managements decision-making process and capital investment decisions. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or to long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Accordingly, ProLogis believes that investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of ProLogis operating results along the same lines that ProLogis management uses in planning and executing its business strategy.
Real estate is a capital-intensive business. Investors analyses of the performance of real estate companies tend to be centered on understanding the asset value created by real estate investment decisions and understanding current operating returns that are being generated by those same investment decisions. The adjustments to Net Earnings computed under GAAP that are included in arriving at the ProLogis defined funds from operations measure are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions and evaluating its current operating performance. ProLogis believes that these adjustments are also helpful to industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in
49
their understanding and evaluation of ProLogis performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on real estate investments.
While ProLogis believes that its defined funds from operations measure is an important supplemental measure, neither NAREITs nor ProLogis measure of funds from operations should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of Net Earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
| Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from funds from operations. Funds from operations is limited as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of distribution properties are not reflected in funds from operations. | |||
| Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of the disposed properties. Funds from operations, by excluding these gains and losses, does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. | |||
| The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from ProLogis defined funds from operations measure result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. ProLogis defined funds from operations measure does not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. | |||
| The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from ProLogis defined funds from operations measure are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of ProLogis foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. ProLogis funds from operations measure is limited in that it does not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
ProLogis compensates for these limitations by using its funds from operations measure only in conjunction with Net Earnings computed under GAAP. To further compensate, ProLogis always reconciles its funds from operations measure to Net Earnings computed under GAAP in its financial reports. Additionally, ProLogis provides investors with its complete financial statements prepared under GAAP, its definition of funds from operations which includes a discussion of the limitations of using ProLogis non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation of ProLogis GAAP measure (Net Earnings) to its non-GAAP measure (funds from operations as defined by ProLogis) so that investors can appropriately incorporate this ProLogis measure and its limitations into their analyses.
Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares as defined by ProLogis was $91.8 million and $100.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The reconciliations of funds from operations attributable to Common Shares as defined by ProLogis to net earnings attributable to Common Shares computed under GAAP are as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):
