NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2003 and 2002
(Unaudited)
1. General
Business
ProLogis, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, operates and develops industrial distribution properties in North America (the United States and Mexico), Europe (11 countries) and Asia (Japan). ProLogis established a representative office in China in April 2003, but owns no real estate assets in China as of March 31, 2003. The ProLogis Operating System®, comprised of the Market Services Group, the Global Services Group, the Global Development Group and the ProLogis Solutions Group, utilizes ProLogis international network of properties to meet its customers distribution space needs globally. ProLogis business consists of two reportable business segments: property operations and corporate distribution facilities services business (CDFS business). See Note 8.
Principles of Financial Presentation
The consolidated condensed financial statements of ProLogis as of March 31, 2003 and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited and, pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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, 2002 audited consolidated financial statements contained in ProLogis 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments; necessary for a fair presentation of ProLogis consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Certain of the 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 financial statement presentation.
ProLogis began presenting its investment in ProLogis UK Holdings S.A., formerly Kingspark Holding S.A., (collectively with its subsidiaries Kingspark S.A.), a Luxembourg company that engages in CDFS business activities in the United Kingdom, and its investment in Kingspark LLC, a holding company that holds the voting ownership interests of Kingspark S.A., on a consolidated basis on July 1, 2002. ProLogis began presenting its investment in ProLogis Logistics Services Incorporated (ProLogis Logistics), which owns CS Integrated LLC (CSI), previously a temperature-controlled distribution company operating in the United States, on a consolidated basis on October 24, 2002. Previously, all of these investments were presented under the equity method. ProLogis changes in reporting method with respect to these entities occurred at the time ProLogis acquired (directly or indirectly) 100% of the ownership interests (both voting and non-voting) of Kingspark S.A. and ProLogis Logistics. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) do not require that previously reported financial information be restated when the reporting method is changed to consolidation from the equity method under these circumstances. ProLogis consolidated shareholders equity and its consolidated net earnings are the same under the two reporting methods. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements present ProLogis investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC under the equity method through June 30, 2002 and ProLogis investment in ProLogis Logistics under the equity method through October 23, 2002. From these dates forward, these investments are presented on a consolidated basis. See Note 3.
In January 2003, Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued. ProLogis is required to adopt the requirements of this Interpretation for the interim period that begins after June 15, 2003. This Interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires that ProLogis present any variable interest entities in which it has a majority variable interest on a consolidated basis in its financial statements. ProLogis is continuing to assess the provisions of this Interpretation and the impact to ProLogis of adopting this Interpretation. Based on its initial assessment, ProLogis believes that, due to the adoption of this Interpretation, it will begin to present its investments in Frigoscandia Holding S.A. (Frigoscandia S.A.) and CSI/Frigo LLC, a holding company that has an ownership interest in Frigoscandia S.A., on a consolidated basis in its financial statements beginning with the consolidated condensed financial statements issued for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003. Currently, ProLogis presents its investments in Frigoscandia S.A. and CSI/Frigo LLC under the equity method.
6
ProLogis combined effective ownership in these entities is 99.75% at March 31, 2003. ProLogis expects that it will continue to present all of its other investments under the equity method. See Note 3 for information on ProLogis investments in these entities and for summarized financial information of Frigoscandia S.A. as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
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 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.
Foreign Operations
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees operating in the United States and Mexico. The functional currency for ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees operating outside North America is the local currency of the country in which the entity is located (euro for members of the European Union that have adopted the euro, krona for Sweden, pound sterling for the United Kingdom, forint for Hungary, koruna for the Czech Republic, zloty for Poland and yen for Japan).
ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars prior to consolidating their financial statements with those of ProLogis. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Income statement accounts that represent significant nonrecurring transactions are translated at the rate in effect as of the date of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders equity. ProLogis translates its share of the earnings or losses of its unconsolidated investees whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar at the average exchange rate for the period.
ProLogis and its consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees may have transactions denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. In these instances, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are reflected at the historical exchange rate, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from remeasurement are generally included in results of operations. Certain intercompany debt balances are 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.
Gains or losses are also recorded in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entitys functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
The components of the net foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized in ProLogis results of operations were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | When certain debt balances are settled, previously recognized remeasurement gains or losses that were recognized in results of operations as unrealized are reversed and the cumulative foreign currency exchange gain or loss realized with respect to the debt balance is reflected in results of operations as a realized gain or loss. |
7
(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 then marked-to-market by ProLogis as of the end of each accounting period until the contracts expiration. Upon expiration, the mark-to-market adjustments are reversed, the total cost of the contract is expensed and any amounts received at expiration are recognized as gains. |
Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2002, Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others as an interpretation of SFAS Nos. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of Interpretation No. 34 was issued. This Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit and provides that an entity that issues a guarantee must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. Further, this Interpretation requires that this information be disclosed in the interim and annual financial statements.
This Interpretations disclosure requirements were effective for ProLogis December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements and the initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. ProLogis made all applicable disclosures in its consolidated financial statements included in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The application of the recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation did not have a material effect on ProLogis financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 3.
In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 was issued. This standard is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. ProLogis does not account for share-based compensation under the fair value method provided in SFAS No. 123. Rather, ProLogis continues to account for its various share-based compensation plans using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as also allowed under SFAS No. 123. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the share options issued equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying share on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of the share options issued would be recognized as compensation expense. ProLogis issues share options to employees and members of its Board of Trustees (the 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 issued. Therefore, no compensation expense is recognized. ProLogis does recognize compensation expense when changes to the terms of the share options or other instruments awarded require the use of variable accounting as provided under SFAS No. 123.
Had compensation expense been recognized by ProLogis for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 using an option valuation model as provided in SFAS No. 123, ProLogis net earnings attributable to Common Shares and net earnings per Common Share for these periods would change as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||
2003 | 2002 | ||||||||
Net earnings attributable to Common Shares: |
|||||||||
As reported |
$ | 38,705 | $ | 54,996 | |||||
Pro forma |

0.21 | 0.31 | |||||||
Pro forma Basic |
0.21 | 0.31 | |||||||
Pro forma Diluted |
0.21 | 0.30 |
Since share options vest over several years and additional grants are likely to be made in future years, the pro forma compensation expense may not be representative of compensation cost to be expected in future years.

The pro forma amounts above were calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:

ProLogis adopted the following accounting standards as of January 1, 2003. Adoption of these standards has not had a material impact on ProLogis financial position, results of operations or cash flows:
| SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 significantly limits the treatment of losses associated with early extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item and impacts certain sale-leaseback transactions. | ||
| SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that certain expenses associated with restructuring charges be accrued as liabilities in the period in which the liability is incurred. |
2. Real Estate

ProLogis directly owned real estate assets are located in North America (the United States and Mexico), ten countries in Europe and in Japan. No individual market in any country, as defined by ProLogis and presented in Item 2 of its 2002 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, 2003, minimum lease payments on leases with lease periods greater than one year for space in ProLogis directly owned properties during the remainder of 2003 and the other years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2007 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 that are presented under the equity method in ProLogis consolidated condensed financial statements. Certain of these investments have been structured such that ProLogis ownership interest will allow ProLogis to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), to qualify as a REIT. However, with respect to ProLogis investments in property funds, having an ownership interest of less than 50% is part of ProLogis business strategy. This business strategy allows ProLogis to realize a portion of the profits from its development activities and raise private debt and equity capital to fund its future development activities while also allowing ProLogis to maintain an ownership interest in its developed properties.
ProLogis investments in entities that were presented under the equity method are summarized as follows as of the dates 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 14.5% to 50%. The property funds own distribution properties, generally properties that have been contributed to the property funds by ProLogis. ProLogis receives ownership interests in the property funds as part of the proceeds received from these contributions. ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share of the earnings or losses of each property fund under the equity method. ProLogis earns fees for acting as the manager 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.

(9) | Under GAAP, portions of the gains resulting from the contribution of properties to the property funds do not qualify for current income recognition due to ProLogis continuing ownership in the property fund. The amount of the gain that cannot be recognized upon contribution is recorded as a reduction to ProLogis balance sheet investment in the property fund. The gain not recognized is eventually realized when ProLogis proportionate share of the earnings of the property fund, recognized under the equity method, is increased 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 real estate assets that ProLogis has contributed to the property fund. The gain not recognized is also eventually realized if the property fund disposes of a property that was acquired from ProLogis or if ProLogis disposes of its ownership interest in the property fund. | |
(10) | Includes acquisition costs and ProLogis proportionate share of the cumulative translation adjustments recognized by ProLogis European Properties Fund and ProLogis Japan Properties Fund. |
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. ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution if the property funds third-party lender, whose loans to the property fund are generally secured and 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 28% to 2%. Accordingly, the value of the assets of the respective property funds would have to decline by between 72% and 98% 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, 2003. The potential obligations under the SLCAs aggregate $288.9 million at March 31, 2003 and the assets in the respective property funds were valued at approximately $3.4 billion. ProLogis did not enter into any new SLCAs during the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Summarized financial information of the property funds as of and for the period ended March 31, 2003 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 Entities
ProLogis or its consolidated subsidiaries generally perform its CDFS business activities. Since its acquisition by ProLogis in August 1998, Kingspark S.A. has performed ProLogis CDFS business activities in the United Kingdom. ProLogis investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC were structured to allow ProLogis to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. ProLogis held only non-voting ownership interests in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC and presented its investments in these entities under the equity method. On July 1, 2002, ProLogis acquired the voting ownership interests in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC and began presenting these investments on a consolidated basis as of that date. This change in ProLogis ownership interests was prompted by changes to the Code that now allow ProLogis to own 100% of these entities while continuing to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code.
Kingspark S.A. has invested in four joint ventures (the Kingspark Joint Ventures) that develop properties in the United Kingdom. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the Kingspark Joint Ventures was 50% at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and Kingspark S.A.s combined investments in the Kingspark Joint Ventures were $44.0 million and $45.2 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Kingspark Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method.
16
While ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. was presented under the equity method, the Kingspark Joint Ventures were not separately presented in ProLogis Consolidated Balance Sheet.
One of the Kingspark Joint Ventures owns 11 operating properties that were developed by the joint venture. The joint ventures total investment in these properties was $80.8 million at March 31, 2003. Collectively, the Kingspark Joint Ventures owned 150 acres of land with the capacity for the future development of approximately 1.5 million square feet of distribution properties at March 31, 2003. Also, at March 31, 2003, the Kingspark Joint Ventures collectively controlled (through contracts, options or letters of intent) 511 acres of land with the capacity for the future development of approximately 9.5 million square feet of distribution properties.

(1) | ProLogis recognized 95% of the earnings of Kingspark S.A. for the three months ended March 31, 2002 based on its ownership of 100% of Kingspark S.A.s preferred stock. The amount recognized by ProLogis includes, among other items, net foreign currency exchange losses of $1.1 million and net gains of $3.4 million from the disposition of properties, including net gains of $1.7 million from the contribution of properties to ProLogis European Properties Fund. The net gains from the contribution of properties to ProLogis European Properties Fund are net of $0.8 million that did not qualify for current income recognition due to ProLogis continuing ownership in ProLogis European Properties Fund. As of July 1, 2002, Kingspark S.A. is consolidated in ProLogis financial statements. | |
(2) | On January 5, 2001, Kingspark LLC (a newly formed limited liability company) acquired the voting common stock of Kingspark S.A. for $8.1 million. Kingspark LLCs membership interests were owned by K. Dane Brooksher, ProLogis chairman and chief executive officer (5% of the total membership interests, all voting) and ProLogis (95% of the total membership interests, all non-voting). Mr. Brooksher was the managing member of Kingspark LLC. There were no provisions that gave ProLogis the right to acquire Mr. Brookshers membership interests and Mr. Brooksher did not receive compensation in connection with being the managing member. Mr. Brooksher invested $40,557 in Kingspark LLC using funds that were loaned to him by ProLogis. The recourse loan from ProLogis to Mr. Brooksher was payable on January 5, 2006 and provided for an annual interest rate of 8.0%. Neither ProLogis ownership interests in Kingspark LLC and Kingspark S.A., nor its loan to Mr. Brooksher, resulted 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. | |
On July 1, 2002, ProLogis acquired the voting membership interests of Kingspark LLC from Mr. Brooksher for an aggregate purchase price of $45,000, an amount equal to the principal balance of the loan due to ProLogis from Mr. Brooksher and related accrued interest. Mr. Brooksher applied the proceeds from this sale to the amounts owed to ProLogis thereby retiring his loan. Consequently, as of July 1, 2002 ProLogis owned (directly or through its 100% ownership of Kingspark LLC) 100% of the voting common stock and 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of Kingspark S.A. Accordingly, ProLogis began consolidating its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC in its financial statement as of that date. | ||
ProLogis proportionate share of the earnings of Kingspark LLC for the three months ended March 31, 2002 represents ProLogis 95% share of the earnings of Kingspark LLC recognized under the equity method based on its ownership of 95% of the membership interests (all non-voting) of Kingspark LLC. Kingspark LLCs earnings result from its recognition under the equity method of 5% of the earnings of Kingspark S.A. based on its ownership of 100% of the voting common stock of Kingspark S.A. | ||
For the period from January 5, 2001 to June 30, 2002, ProLogis recognized 99.75% of the earnings of Kingspark S.A. under the equity method based on its direct and indirect (through its ownership interest in Kingspark LLC) ownership interests in that entity. |

(3) | The earnings of the Kingspark Joint Ventures consist primarily of net operating income from 11 operating properties, net interest expense and income tax expense. |
Temperature-Controlled Distribution Companies
Beginning in 1997, ProLogis invested in companies that operated temperature-controlled distribution and storage networks. When these investments were originally structured, ProLogis held only non-voting ownership interests and presented these investments under the equity method in order to continue to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code. While subsequent changes to the Code would allow for ProLogis to own voting interests in these entities, ProLogis ownership position with respect to the company that operates in Europe has not changed.
As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, ProLogis has direct and indirect investments in only one temperature-controlled distribution company. This company operates in Europe. ProLogis ownership interests in Frigoscandia S.A. and CSI/Frigo LLC, a holding company that has an ownership interest in Frigoscandia S.A., do 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 are not consolidated in ProLogis financial statements. These investments, presented under the equity method, were as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

ProLogis owns 89% of the membership interests (all non-voting) of CSI/Frigo LLC and K. Dane Brooksher, ProLogis chairman and chief executive officer, owns the remaining 11% of the membership interests (all voting) and is the managing member of CSI/Frigo LLC. Mr. Brooksher invested $50,000 in CSI/Frigo LLC. ProLogis has a $0.3 million note agreement with CSI/Frigo LLC that allows ProLogis to participate in its earnings such that ProLogis recognizes 95% of the earnings of CSI/Frigo LLC. The note from CSI/Frigo LLC to ProLogis accrues interest at an annual interest rate of 8.0% and is due in 2012. Mr. Brooksher may transfer his membership interests in CSI/Frigo LLC, subject to certain conditions, including the approval of ProLogis. There are no provisions that give ProLogis the right to acquire Mr. Brookshers membership interests. Mr. Brooksher does not receive compensation in connection with being the managing member. | |
(2) | Frigoscandia S.A., through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns 100% of Frigoscandia Holding AB (Frigoscandia), which owns companies operating 104.2 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled distribution facilities in two European countries (63.0 million cubic feet in France and 41.2 million cubic feet in the United Kingdom) at March 31, 2003. Frigoscandia classified the operating assets in the United Kingdom as held for sale in December 2002. Since June 2001, Frigoscandia has disposed of all of the operating assets in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden (aggregating 73.5 million cubic feet). Total proceeds from these sales were $149.0 million. |

(1) | The earnings and losses of CSI/Frigo LLC result from the recognition, under the equity method, of its 5% share of the earnings or losses of ProLogis Logistics based on its ownership of 100% of ProLogis Logistics voting common stock during the period in 2002 and the recognition under the equity method of its 5% share of the earnings or losses of Frigoscandia S.A. based on its ownership of 100% of Frigoscandia S.A.s voting common stock for both periods. | |
(2) | ProLogis directly owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of ProLogis Logistics, representing a 99.23% interest in the earnings or losses of ProLogis Logistics. ProLogis Logistics owns 100% of CSI, a company that previously operated a temperature-controlled distribution and storage network in the United States. On October 23, 2002, significant portions of CSIs operating assets were sold. Total proceeds from the sale were $221.9 million. The assets sold had been classified as held for sale since January 2002. | |
After the October 2002 transaction, CSI continues to own certain real estate assets. The buyers in the October transaction are leasing three properties that were retained by CSI with an aggregate book value of $42.7 million at March 31, 2003. CSI also retained one operating property with a book value of $3.6 million at March 31, 2003 that is leased to an operator and four tracts of land with an aggregate book value of $7.7 million at March 31, 2003. ProLogis acquisition of 100% of the voting common stock of ProLogis Logistics on October 23, 2002 resulted in ProLogis owning 100% of the voting common stock and 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of ProLogis Logistics. Accordingly, ProLogis began consolidating its investment in ProLogis Logistics as of that date. Accordingly, the assets that were retained by CSI are included with ProLogis real estate assets in its Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2003. CSIs operating properties are included in the property operations segment and its land parcels are included in the CDFS business segment. | ||

4. Borrowings:
Senior Unsecured Notes
ProLogis has issued senior unsecured notes that bear interest at fixed rates to be paid on a semi-annual basis (the Notes). At March 31, 2003, the Notes outstanding aggregated $1.91 billion. On February 24, 2003, ProLogis issued $300.0 million of Notes with a coupon rate of 5.50% per annum (an effective interest rate of 5.55% per annum). The Notes issued in February 2003 will mature on March 1, 2013 and provide for semi-annual interest payments beginning on September 1, 2003. The net proceeds from the issuance of Notes in February 2003 were approximately $297.5 million.
The Notes are subordinated to ProLogis secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets pledged to secure this debt and to ProLogis $500.0 million revolving lines of credit in North America to the extent of the value of assets pledged to secure this debt, if any. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of certain of ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries, including the revolving lines of credit in Europe and Japan. The Notes are redeemable at any time at ProLogis option. Such redemption and other terms are governed by the provisions of an indenture agreement or, with respect to the $160.0 million of Notes issued on November 20, 1997, note purchase agreements. Under the terms of the indenture agreement and the note purchase agreements, ProLogis must meet certain financial covenants. ProLogis was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2003.
In March 2003, ProLogis entered into two secured debt agreements with Allstate Life Insurance Company. The principal amounts of the debt, $31.0 million on a combined basis, are due in March 2013 and interest at an annual rate of 5.56% is due monthly. The debt agreements are secured by operating properties located in the San Francisco (East Bay) market.

5. Shareholders Equity:
Common Shares
ProLogis had 178,726,859 and 178,145,614 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (Common Shares) outstanding at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
ProLogis holders of Common Shares may acquire additional Common Shares by automatically reinvesting distributions under the 1999 Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the 1999 Common Share Plan). Holders of Common Shares who do not participate in the 1999 Common Share Plan continue to receive distributions as declared. The 1999 Common Share Plan also allows both holders of Common Shares 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 are acquired pursuant to the 1999 Common Share Plan at a price ranging from 98% to 100% of the market price of such Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Under the 1999 Common Share Plan, ProLogis generated net proceeds of $9.4 million from the issuance of 384,000 Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2003.
ProLogis has a Common Share repurchase program under which it may repurchase up to $215.0 million of its Common Shares. Common Share repurchases have been and, to the extent they continue, will occur in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, depending on market prices and other conditions. Common Share repurchases since the programs inception and through March 31, 2003 are as follows (amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars as applicable):

ProLogis employees participate in a long-term incentive plan (the Incentive Plan). Compensation under the Incentive Plan is generally in the form of Common Shares. Under the Incentive Plan, a total of 22,600,000 Common Shares (190,000 of which are allocated to the ProLogis 401(k) Plan and Trust) can be awarded and 8,431,000 Common Shares are available for future awards as of March 31, 2003. ProLogis generated net proceeds of $7.3 million from the issuance of 571,000 Common Shares (including dividend
22
equivalent units and performance share awards) under the Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2003, certain employees who earned performance share awards under the Incentive Plan received cash payments aggregating $3.6 million in lieu of receiving Common Shares.
In May 2001, ProLogis shareholders approved the establishment of the ProLogis Employee Share Purchase Plan (the Employee Share Plan). Under the terms of 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 provisions, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Employee Share Plan may not exceed 5,000,000. ProLogis began issuing Common Shares under the Employee Share Plan in January 2002. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, 14,000 Common Shares were purchased under the Employee Share Plan generating net proceeds to ProLogis of $0.3 million.
Shelf Registration
ProLogis has a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows ProLogis to issue securities 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. At March 31, 2003, $308.0 million of shelf-registered securities were available for issuance, subject to ProLogis ability to effect an offering on satisfactory terms.
6. Distributions and Dividends:
Common Share Distributions
In December 2002, the Board announced a projected increase in the annual distribution level for 2003 from $1.42 to $1.44 per Common Share. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results of ProLogis. The amount of the distribution may be adjusted by the Board during the year. On February 3, 2003, the Board declared a distribution of $0.36 per Common Share for the first quarter of 2003. This distribution was paid on February 28, 2003 to holders of Common Shares on February 14, 2003.
Preferred Share Dividends
The annual dividend rates on ProLogis cumulative redeemable preferred shares are $4.27 per share (Series C), $1.98 per share (Series D) and $2.19 per share (Series E).

Of the total potentially dilutive instruments, 411,000 and 1,897,000 were antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
8. Business Segments:
Through December 31, 2002, ProLogis investments in companies that operate temperature-controlled distribution and storage networks met the criteria under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures Amount Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, to be presented as a reportable business segment. Beginning in 2003, this operating segment no longer meets the requirements to be separately reported. Consequently, this operating segment is no longer separately presented and amounts previously presented have been reclassified.
ProLogis two reportable business segments as of March 31, 2003 are:
| Property operations represents the long-term ownership, management and leasing of 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 represents the development, acquisition and rehabilitation and/or the acquisition and repositioning of distribution properties by ProLogis and Kingspark S.A. (which is consolidated in ProLogis financial statements as of July 1, 2002) 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 and Kingspark S.A. earn fees for development activities on behalf of customers or third parties and realize profits from the sale 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 include all of ProLogis properties under development, or undergoing rehabilitation or repositioning, 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 included in the CDFS business segments income. |
For each of ProLogis two reportable business segments, reconciliations are presented below for: (i) income from external customers to ProLogis total income; (ii) earnings from operations from external customers to ProLogis earnings from operations;
24
and (iii) assets to ProLogis total assets. ProLogis chief operating decision makers rely primarily on these and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The earnings from operations of the property operations segment consists of rental income and net rental expenses as well as amounts recognized under the equity method from ProLogis investments in the property funds. The earnings from operations of the CDFS business segment consists of ProLogis Other real estate income and land holding costs and pursuit costs written off related to CDFS business segment activities that are presented as Other expenses. All other items included in earnings from operations in ProLogis Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars:

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT
Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2003, and the related consolidated condensed statements of earnings and comprehensive income and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. These consolidated condensed financial statements are the responsibility of ProLogis management.
We conducted our review 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 to financial data 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.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and Liquidity
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 2002 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. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the discussions concerning ProLogis expectations with respect to economic conditions in the United States, 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 ProLogis European Properties Fund and ProLogis North American Properties Fund V such that these property funds will be able to acquire ProLogis stabilized developed properties that are expected to be available for contribution during 2003) and its plans for its investments in the temperature-controlled distribution operations segment 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
ProLogis net earnings attributable to Common Shares were $38.7 million and $55.0 million. Diluted per share net earnings attributable to Common Shares were $0.21 and $0.31 per share, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
ProLogis has two reportable business segments. The property operations segment generated earnings from operations of $115.7 million in 2003 and $119.4 in 2002, a decrease of $3.7 million in 2003 from 2002. The CDFS business segment generated earnings from operations of $30.6 million in 2003 and $35.1 million in 2002, a decrease of $4.5 million in 2003 from 2002. In addition, income recognized from investments in other unconsolidated investees, primarily companies operating temperature controlled distribution and storage networks, was $2.4 million in 2003 and $8.6 million in 2002, a decrease of $6.2 million in 2003 from 2002. See Property Operations, CDFS Business and Income from Unconsolidated Investees.

(1) | Includes operating properties directly owned by ProLogis. Includes the operating properties that ProLogis intends to hold for long-term investment, as well as the operating properties that ProLogis developed in the CDFS businesses segment that it intends to contribute to a property fund or sell to a third party and properties that ProLogis acquired in the CDFS business segment that it intends to contribute to a property fund, including properties that are being or have been rehabilitated and/or repositioned but that have not yet been contributed or sold. Consequently, the size of this portfolio will fluctuate from period to period. Also, ProLogis will, as necessary, contribute operating properties originally intended for long-term investment to a property fund in order to meet the leasing, geographic and volume requirements of a property funds third party investors. The increase in number and square footage of properties directly owned at March 31, 2003 from December 31, 2002 is primarily due to weak economic conditions, primarily in the United States, and geopolitical concerns and uncertainties, primarily in Europe. Due to these factors, leasing activity began to slow in 2002 in both the United States and Europe. This slowing in leasing decisions delayed contributions to property funds because the properties that are contributed to property funds generally must meet certain leasing criteria. | |
(2) | ProLogis had a 50% ownership interest in the property fund as of each date. | |
(3) | ProLogis had a 41.3% ownership interest in the property fund as of each date. | |
(4) | ProLogis had a 20% ownership interest in the property fund as of each date. | |
(5) | ProLogis had a 14.5% ownership interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V at March 31, 2003. ProLogis ownership interest in this property fund has been between 14.5% and 16.9% since it began operations on March 28, 2002. This property funds 70 operating properties were all acquired from ProLogis. | |
(6) | ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis European Properties Fund was 29.8%, 29.6% and 33.1% at March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. From March 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003, ProLogis European Properties Fund acquired 19 properties from third parties, in addition to the properties that were acquired from ProLogis. Also, ProLogis European Properties Fund disposed of one property during that period. | |
(7) | ProLogis has had a 20% ownership interest in ProLogis Japan Properties Fund since it began operations on September 24, 2002. ProLogis developed the property owned by this property fund. |
The earnings from operations of ProLogis property operations segment consists of: (i) rental income and net 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; and (iii) fees earned by ProLogis for services performed on behalf of the property funds, primarily property management and asset management services. See Note 8 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
The amounts recognized under the equity method represent ProLogis share of the net earnings of each property fund based on its ownership interest in the property fund and include the following income and expense items, in addition to rental income and net 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. ProLogis earnings from operations from the property operations segment were as follows for the periods indicated are presented below (in thousands of U.S. dollars).

(1) | The number and composition of operating properties in the directly owned portfolio throughout the periods presented impact rental income for each period. Rental income in 2003 includes $3.9 million of termination and renegotiation fees as compared to $3.0 million of comparable fees recognized in 2002. ProLogis cannot predict the levels of such fees that will be earned in the future or whether ProLogis will be successful in re-leasing the vacant space associated with the lease terminations in a timely manner. Rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees, increased by $1.8 million in 2003 from 2002. | |
(2) | Rental expenses, before recoveries, were 31.6% of rental income in 2003 as compared to 27.8% of rental income in 2002. Total rental expense recoveries were 72.3% and 75.3% of total rental expenses in 2003 and 2002, respectively. | |
(3) | The number and composition of operating properties in the directly owned portfolio throughout the periods presented impact rental expenses for each period. However, the increase in net rental expenses in 2003 is primarily due to the lower occupancy levels experienced in 2003 from the same period in 2002. Lower occupancy levels result in certain fixed costs being incurred directly by ProLogis, as there may not be customers occupying the properties to which the expenses relate. Additionally, a higher percentage of common area costs were absorbed by ProLogis in 2003, as there are fewer customers available from whom these costs can be recovered. | |
(4) | ProLogis North American Properties Fund V began operations on March 28, 2002. | |
(5) | Includes net foreign currency exchange losses of $9.4 million in 2003 and net foreign currency exchange gains of $0.2 million in 2002. Excluding these net foreign currency exchange gains and losses, ProLogis proportionate share of the earnings of ProLogis European Properties Fund is $10.4 million and $6.5 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the income recognized by ProLogis from its ownership in this property fund, excluding foreign currency losses in 2003, is primarily the result of the additional properties owned during the three months in 2003 as compared to the three months in 2002. Additionally, the foreign currency exchange rate at which the net earnings of the property fund is translated to U.S. dollars increased in 2003, resulting in a higher translated net earnings on which ProLogis recognizes its share as income under the equity method. | |
(6) | ProLogis Japan Properties Fund began operations on September 24, 2002. |
The stabilized operating properties owned by ProLogis and the property funds were 90.8% leased and 88.5% occupied at March 31, 2003. ProLogis stabilized occupancy levels decreased in 2003 from 2002 (91.9% leased and 91.0% occupied). ProLogis defines its stabilized properties as those properties where the capital improvements, repositioning efforts, new management and new marketing programs for acquisitions, or development and marketing programs in the case of newly developed properties, have been in effect for a sufficient period of time, generally 12 months, to achieve stabilized occupancy, typically 93%.
ProLogis believes that the decrease in its stabilized occupancy levels in the United States in 2003 is primarily the result of the current economic conditions that have led to a slowing in customer leasing decisions and a slowing in the absorption of new
31
distribution properties in many of ProLogis markets in the United States. ProLogis does not expect market conditions affected by the United States economy to change significantly in 2003. While there have been some positive trends in occupancy levels in certain markets since late 2002, ProLogis believes that occupancies will not increase significantly but that further declines in occupancies in the United States, if any, will not be significant. ProLogis believes that the effects of these United States market occupancy decreases have been mitigated through the diversification benefits of its global operating platform and the ProLogis Operating System®.
Based on its recent leasing experience, ProLogis believes that shifts in distribution patterns of its customers in Europe and their needs to reduce their distribution costs have been, and will continue to be, the key drivers of leasing decisions in its European markets. However, ProLogis believes that current geopolitical concerns and the uncertainties have led to a slowing of customers decision-making processes in Europe with respect to changes in their distribution networks. ProLogis cannot predict the effect that these uncertainties will have on its ability to lease currently vacant space or re-let distribution space that is subject to expiring leases in 2003. Should ProLogis European Properties Fund experience significant occupancy declines, ProLogis would recognize less income from its investment in ProLogis European Properties Fund.
In Japan, ProLogis has fully leased two of its four development projects, aggregating 445,000 square feet. ProLogis has also leased 39% of its two remaining projects that aggregate 1.1 million square feet and is in negotiation for all of the remaining space.
The average decrease in rental rates for both new and renewed leases on previously leased space (12.4 million square feet) for all properties including those owned by the property funds during 2003 was 0.4% as compared to an average increase in rental rates of 4.4% in 2002. ProLogis believes that the weaker rental rate growth experienced in 2003 is primarily attributable to the downturn in the United States economy that began in late 2001.
The same store portfolio of operating properties, properties owned by ProLogis and the property funds that were in operation throughout both the three month periods in 2003 and 2002, aggregated 181.2 million square feet. Rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees, less net rental expenses generated by the same store portfolio decreased by 0.45% for the three months in 2003 from the same period in 2002.
CDFS Business
Earnings from operations from ProLogis CDFS business segment consists primarily of: (i) the gains and losses from the contribution and sale of developed properties and from the contribution 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 disposition of land parcels; (iii) development management fees earned by ProLogis for services provided to third parties; and (iv) income recognized under the equity method from ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. for the three months in 2002. Under the equity method, ProLogis recognized over 99% of the net earnings of Kingspark S.A. during the period from January 5, 2001 to June 30, 2002 and recognized 95% of the net earnings of Kingspark S.A. from its acquisition in August 1998 to January 5, 2001. The income recognized under the equity method includes (in addition to rental income and net rental expenses): (i) interest income and interest expense (net of capitalized amounts); (ii) general and administrative expenses (net of capitalized amounts); (iii) income taxes; and (iv) foreign currency exchange gains and losses. See Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Income from the CDFS business segment is dependent on ProLogis ability to develop and lease distribution properties that can be contributed to property funds or sold to third parties, generating profits to ProLogis, and ProLogis success in raising private capital through the formation of property funds or other sources. There can be no assurance that ProLogis will be able to maintain the current level of profits in this operating segment. ProLogis does believe that the current economic situation in the United States and current geopolitical concerns and uncertainties have led to a slowing of customers decision-making processes. ProLogis cannot predict the effect that these situations will have on its ability to lease its completed development 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 development profits in the anticipated accounting period.

The CDFS business segment operations and ProLogis earnings from operations from this segment were $30.6 million and $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The CDFS business segments earnings from operations include the components presented below for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars). See Note 8 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.

(2) | ProLogis recognized its proportionate share of the net earnings of Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC under the equity method for the three months ended March 31, 2002. ProLogis acquired the voting ownership interests in these companies on July 1, 2002 and began presenting its investments in these entities on a consolidated basis as of that date. Prior to July 1, 2002, ProLogis ownership interests in these entities were all non-voting. See Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. The income recognized by ProLogis under the equity method from its ownership interests in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC for the three months ended March 31, 2002 includes, among other items: |
| Net gains from the disposition of land parcels and contributions and sales of properties developed (3 acres; 0.2 million square feet; $33.6 million of proceeds; net gains of $3.4 million); | ||
| Development fees and other miscellaneous income of $3.9 million; | ||
| Deferred and current income tax expense of $0.9 million; and | ||
| Net foreign currency exchange losses of $1.1 million. |
(3) | ProLogis, through Kingspark S.A., has investments in the Kingspark Joint Ventures, four entities that develop properties in the United Kingdom. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the Kingspark Joint Ventures was 50% at March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003, one of the Kingspark Joint Ventures owned 11 operating properties that it had previously developed. The joint ventures total investment in these properties was $80.8 million at March 31, 2003. Collectively, the Kingspark Joint Ventures owned 150 acres of land with the capacity for developing approximately 1.5 million square feet of distribution properties at March 31, 2003. Also, at March 31, 2003, the Kingspark Joint Ventures collectively controlled 511 acres of land, through contracts, options or letters of intent, with the capacity for developing approximately 9.5 million square feet of distribution properties. While ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. was presented under the equity method, the Kingspark Joint Ventures, that were accounted for under the equity method by Kingspark S.A., were not separately presented in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. See Note 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. | |
(4) | Includes land holding costs of $0.7 million and $0.6 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs related to potential CDFS business segment projects of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
33
ProLogis will continue 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 in the United States could provide increased CDFS opportunities to ProLogis as companies continue optimizing their supply chains. ProLogis believes that the demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties in Europe could continue to provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment; however, ProLogis will continue to monitor the impact of geopolitical concerns and uncertainties that have been observed and that it believes could negatively impact its ability to complete leases in Europe in a timely manner during 2003. ProLogis believes its development activities will not be significantly affected by land entitlement constraints that currently exist in Europe because it has over 2,100 acres of land owned or controlled in Europe at March 31, 2003. In 2001, ProLogis began its first development project in Japan, which was acquired by ProLogis Japan Properties Fund in September 2002. ProLogis began development of four additional properties in Japan during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. As in Europe, ProLogis believes that demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties in Japan will provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment and ProLogis has not observed similar trends in Japan with respect to geopolitical concerns and uncertainties. In Japan, the CDFS business opportunities available to ProLogis could be limited if ProLogis is unable to acquire adequate land parcels for development.
Other Income and Expense Items
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $15.9 million in 2003 and $12.9 million in 2002. Had ProLogis presented its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, ProLogis would have recognized general and administrative expense of $13.6 million. General and administrative expense is generally a function of the various business initiatives being undertaken by ProLogis in a given period and can vary from period to period based on ProLogis business activities. For a discussion of the presentation of ProLogis investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC, see Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $41.5 million in 2003 and $36.2 million in 2002. The fluctuations in this expense between periods is primarily attributable to the number of distribution properties directly owned by ProLogis in each period. See Property Operations. On January 1, 2002, ProLogis adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Intangible Assets and ceased recognizing amortization expense related to goodwill.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is a function of the level of borrowings outstanding, the interest rates charged on borrowings and the amount of interest that can be capitalized. Generally, the amount of capitalized interest recognized is a function of the volume of ProLogis development activities during a period. Interest expense was $37.3 million in 2003 and $40.8 million in 2002. Had ProLogis presented its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, ProLogis would have recognized interest expense of $36.7 million. The decrease in interest expense in 2003 is due to lower average interest rates and higher levels of capitalized interest. For a discussion of the presentation of ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC, see Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Gross interest expense incurred on borrowings outstanding during the period is offset by the amount of interest that can be capitalized based on ProLogis qualifying development expenditures. Capitalized interest was $10.5 million in 2003 and $5.5 million in 2002. Had ProLogis presented its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, ProLogis capitalized interest would have been $9.7 million. Capitalized interest levels are reflective of ProLogis cost of funds and the volume of development activities in each period.
Other Expenses
Other expenses consist of land holding costs and the write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs. These amounts will vary based on the balances of land held for future development in a given period and the timing of when a pursuit is abandoned.
34
Gains on Dispositions of Real Estate, Net
The net gains recognized from the contributions and sales of operating properties that were acquired or developed for long-term investment in the property operations segment are presented after Earnings from operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. From time to time, ProLogis will contribute or sell properties that have been held for long-term investment in the property operations segment because they are necessary to meet leasing, geographic or volume requirements of a property funds third party investors or 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 target markets as well as 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.
Contributions and sales of long-term investment properties from the property operations segment were as follows:
| 2003: 0.3 million square feet; $38.4 million of proceeds; net gains of $0.4 million; and | ||
| 2002: 0.7 million square feet; $21.4 million of proceeds; net losses of $0.2 million. |
Income from Unconsolidated Investees
ProLogis recognized income of $2.4 million in 2003 and $8.6 million in 2002 under the equity method from its investments in unconsolidated investees that are not directly associated with one of its two reportable business segments.
For 2003, the income from other unconsolidated investees recognized consisted of: (i) a loss of $5,000 from ProLogis investment in Insight, Inc.; (ii) income of $57,000 from ProLogis investment in ProLogis Equipment Services LLC; and (iii) income of $2.3 million from ProLogis investment in Frigoscandia S.A.
For 2002, the income from other unconsolidated investees consisted of: (i) a loss of $2.1 million from ProLogis investment in GoProLogis; (ii) income of $4,000 from ProLogis investment in Insight, Inc.; (iii) income of $7.0 million from ProLogis investment in Frigoscandia S.A.; and (iv) income of $3.7 million from ProLogis investment in ProLogis Logistics. The loss recognized by GoProLogis represented ProLogis share of GoProLogis impairment adjustment that reduced GoProLogis remaining investment in Vizional Technologies to zero. After March 31, 2002, significant portions of the operating assets of both Frigoscandia S.A. and ProLogis Logistics were sold which is the primary reason ProLogis income from these investments decreased in 2003 from amounts recognized in 2002.
Foreign Currency Exchange Losses, Net
ProLogis recognized net foreign currency exchange losses of $5.1 million and $0.3 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Had ProLogis reported its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, ProLogis would have recognized a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.4 million. For a discussion of the presentation of ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC, see Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
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. 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 earnings from its European operations, and recognizes the expense associated with these contracts in results of operations, generally the premium price associated with the contract upon settlement and interim period mark-to-market adjustments.
35
Generally, the amount of foreign currency gains and losses that are recognized in results from operations are 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 the debt agreements. The net foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized in ProLogis results of operations are presented in the following table for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | When certain debt balances are settled, previously recognized remeasurement gains or losses that were recognized in results of operations as unrealized are reversed and the cumulative foreign currency exchange gain or loss realized with respect to the debt balance is reflected in results of operations as a realized gain or loss. | |
(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 then marked-to-market by ProLogis as of the end of each accounting period until the contracts expiration. Upon expiration, the mark-to-market adjustments are reversed, the total cost of the contract is expensed and any amounts received at expiration are recognized as gains. |
Income Taxes
ProLogis is taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and is not generally required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. However, not all of ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries in the United States are qualified REIT subsidiaries for tax purposes, ProLogis is taxed in certain states in which it operates and the foreign countries in which ProLogis operates do not recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly, ProLogis has recognized state income taxes and foreign country income taxes in accordance with GAAP, as applicable.
Current income tax expense recognized was $0.5 million and $1.1 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Had ProLogis reported its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, current income tax expense would have been $2.0 million. ProLogis recognized deferred income tax expense of $1.0 million and $7.7 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Had ProLogis reported its investments in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2002, deferred income tax expense would not have changed. For a discussion of the presentation of ProLogis investment in Kingspark S.A. and Kingspark LLC, see Notes 1 and 3 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Current income tax expense is generally a function of the level of income recognized by ProLogis taxable subsidiaries operating in the CDFS business segment and taxes incurred in foreign jurisdictions and in various states in which it operates. 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. The deferred income tax expense recognized in 2002 is primarily the result of the reversal of previously recognized deferred income tax benefits due to the utilization of net operating losses generated in previous years.
36
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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
ProLogis considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from its operating activities, the contribution or sale 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 future investing activities are expected to consist primarily of: (i) the acquisition of land for future development; (ii) the development and acquisition of properties, and in certain situations, the rehabilitation and/or repositioning of properties acquired for future contribution to property funds; and (iii) the acquisition of operating properties in key distribution markets for long-term investment in the property operations segment. Additionally, ProLogis has a Common Share repurchase program under which it may repurchase additional Common Shares. At May 12, 2003, ProLogis may repurchase an additional $84.1 million of Common Shares under this program. ProLogis expects to fund its future cash needs with:
| cash generated by property operations; | ||
| the proceeds from the contribution of properties to property funds; | ||
| the proceeds from the sales of properties to third parties; | ||
| the proceeds from the disposition of the temperature-controlled distribution operating assets located in the United Kingdom that were classified as held for sale by Frigoscandia S.A. in December 2002; | ||
| utilization of ProLogis revolving lines of credit; and | ||
| the proceeds from the sale of Common Shares, including sales of Common Shares under ProLogis various Common Share plans. |
For its short-term borrowing needs, ProLogis lines of credit are expected to provide adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to allow ProLogis to efficiently respond to market opportunities. Regular repayments of lines of credit borrowings, primarily with the proceeds from property contributions and sales, and the proceeds from public debt offerings that are expected to occur periodically during periods of favorable market conditions, allow ProLogis to maintain adequate liquidity. At May 12, 2003, ProLogis had $1.19 billion of total commitments under its revolving lines of credit. ProLogis total outstanding borrowings were $474.7 million at May 12, 2003 resulting in additional short-term borrowing capacity available to ProLogis of approximately $689.8 million (after reducing the total commitments available by $21.1 million of letters of credit outstanding with the lending banks). See Borrowing Capacity and Debt Maturities.
As of May 12, 2003, ProLogis had $308.0 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 effect an offering on satisfactory terms. ProLogis continues to evaluate the 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 expects that it will increase the amount of its available shelf-registered securities in 2003.
ProLogis is committed to offer to contribute all of its stabilized developed properties in certain European markets to ProLogis European Properties Fund through September 2019, subject to the property meeting certain criteria, including leasing criteria. In September 2002, ProLogis European Properties Fund drew down the remaining third party equity capital commitments on subscription agreements that expired on September 15, 2002. At March 31, 2003, ProLogis European Properties Fund had a 250.0 million euro revolving, multi-currency credit agreement and entered into an additional 250.0
37
million euro revolving, multi-currency credit agreement in April 2003. With its current borrowing capacity, ProLogis European Properties Fund expects that it will be able to acquire ProLogis stabilized European development properties that are expected to be available for contribution by ProLogis through the third quarter of 2003 should additional equity commitments not be obtained. ProLogis European Properties Fund believes that its efforts to obtain additional equity commitments will be successful and that such commitments would be available in the third quarter of 2003. However, there can be no assurance that ProLogis European Properties Fund will be able to obtain additional equity commitments such that it will be able to acquire the completed development properties that ProLogis expects to be available for contribution after September 2003.
ProLogis is committed to offer to contribute all of its stabilized developed properties in North America (excluding properties in the Los Angeles/Orange County market which are subject to a right of first offer to ProLogis California) to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V through December 2003. The acquisition of these properties by ProLogis North American Properties Fund V is subject to the property meeting certain criteria, including leasing criteria, and the ability of ProLogis North American Properties Fund V to raise equity capital and to obtain debt financing. Under certain circumstances this right of first offer can be extended through December 2004. The majority owner in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V is a listed property trust in Australia. Currently, ProLogis North American Properties Fund V has sufficient capital available to acquire all of the stabilized properties that ProLogis expects to have available for contribution to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V through June 2003 and expects that it will have sufficient capital available such that it can acquire all of the properties that ProLogis expects to have available for contribution through December 2003. However, there can be no assurance that this property fund will be successful in its capital raising efforts.
ProLogis is committed to offer to contribute all of its stabilized developed properties in Japan to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund through June 2006. The acquisition of these properties by ProLogis Japan Properties Fund is subject to the property meeting certain criteria, including leasing criteria. ProLogis Japan Properties Fund has access to $286.8 million of third party equity capital that has been committed by a real estate subsidiary of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation through June 2006. This capital can also be used for the acquisition of properties from third parties in Japan. The development of properties in Japan by ProLogis is subject to ProLogis ability to acquire adequate land parcels for development and obtain leasing commitments. ProLogis had four projects under development at a total expected cost at completion of $227.5 million in the Tokyo market at March 31, 2003.
There can be no assurance that the property funds will have sufficient capital available (either debt or equity capital) such that they will be able to acquire the properties that ProLogis expects to have available for contribution in the future. Should the property funds not have sufficient capital to acquire these properties, ProLogis is allowed to pursue other third party disposition opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that ProLogis can readily dispose of its development pipeline to third parties and ProLogis could experience delays in making sales to third parties. Such delays could result in the recognition of the expected development profits in an accounting period that is later than expected.
Cash Generated by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and $79.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of operational items discussed in Results of Operations. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on Common Shares for the first quarters of 2003 and 2002.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, ProLogis investing activities used net cash of $84.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, ProLogis investing activities provided net cash of $62.2 million. The primary difference in investing activities between periods was the level of real estate investments in 2003, which increased from $112.9 million in 2002 to $298.7 million in 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in acquisition activities related to existing operating properties. The funds available for these acquisitions were primarily generated from the dispositions of temperature-controlled operating assets in late 2002. ProLogis unconsolidated investees generated net cash of $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 but required a net cash investment of $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This change between periods is the result of additional investments made by ProLogis in 2002 in ProLogis Logistics ($31.5 million) and in ProLogis European Properties Fund ($11.5 million). Net cash generated from contributions and sales of properties and land parcels was $210.4 million and $203.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, ProLogis financing activities provided net cash of $20.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, financing activities utilized net cash of $110.0 million. Excluding cash distributions on Common Shares and to minority interest holders and preferred share dividends, ProLogis financing activities provided net cash of $96.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 with net borrowings on the lines of credit and proceeds from the issuance of debt as the
38
primary sources of cash. Excluding cash distributions on Common Shares and to minority interest holders and preferred share dividends, ProLogis financing activities used net cash of $37.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 with net repayments on ProLogis lines of credit being the primary use of cash.
Aggregate distributions paid to holders of Common Shares were $64.3 million and $62.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Dividends paid on preferred shares were $8.2 million for both periods. Distributions to minority interest holders were $4.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Borrowing Capacity and Debt Maturities
ProLogis has $1.19 billion of short-term borrowing commitments through six revolving lines of credit. These borrowings are available in four currencies and are summarized below for the periods indicated (dollar amounts in millions of U.S. dollars, as applicable):

ProLogis may in the future provide guarantees of short-term financing arrangements that property funds enter into associated with the contributions of properties to the property funds by ProLogis. These guarantees would be provided by ProLogis on short-term financing arrangements that the property funds enter into on an interim basis prior to obtaining long-term secured debt.
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
ProLogis distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of its cash flow that ensures that ProLogis will meet the distribution requirements of the Code and allows ProLogis to maximize the cash retained to meet other cash needs such as capital improvements and investment activities. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow typically will be greater than earnings from operations and net earnings. Therefore, annual distributions are expected to be higher than net earnings for a year.
The Board set a projected annual distribution rate for 2003 of $1.44 per Common Share (as compared to actual distributions of $1.42 per Common Share in 2002). ProLogis paid a distribution for the first quarter of 2003 of $0.36 per Common Share on February 28, 2003 to holders of Common Shares at February 14, 2003. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results of ProLogis and may be adjusted by the Board during the year.
At March 31, 2003, ProLogis had three series of cumulative redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest outstanding. The annual dividend rates on these series of preferred shares are $4.27 per share (Series C), $1.98 per share (Series D) and $2.19 per share (Series E). ProLogis paid a quarterly dividend of $0.5469 per share on its Series E preferred shares on January 31, 2003 and $1.0675 per share and $0.495 per share on its series C preferred shares and Series D preferred shares, respectively on March 31, 2003.
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 its 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, 2003, ProLogis had letters of intent or contingent contracts, subject to ProLogis final due diligence, for the acquisition of properties aggregating 1.6 million square feet at an estimated acquisition cost of $47.3 million. In April 2003, ProLogis completed the acquisition of four of these properties aggregating 253,000 square feet at a total acquisition cost of $7.9 million. The remaining transactions are subject to a number of conditions and ProLogis cannot predict with certainty that they will be consummated.
42
At March 31, 2003, ProLogis had properties under development with an expected cost at completion of $560.3 million of which $248.0 million was unfunded.
ProLogis has a Common Share repurchase program under which it may repurchase up to $215.0 million of its Common Shares. Common Share repurchases have been and, to the extent they continue, will occur in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, depending on market prices and other conditions. An additional $84.1 million of Common Shares may be repurchased under the program as of May 12, 2003.
Funds from Operations
ProLogis considers funds from operations to be a useful supplemental measure of comparative period operating performance. Funds from operations does not represent net earnings or cash from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of ProLogis operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the funds from operations measure presented by ProLogis will not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) generally as net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from sales of properties, except those gains and losses from sales of properties upon completion or stabilization under pre-sale agreements and after adjustments for unconsolidated investees to reflect their funds from operations on the same basis. ProLogis includes the gains and losses generated by CDFS business segment activities in funds from operations (see Results of Operations CDFS Business).
Funds from operations, as used by ProLogis, is modified from the NAREIT definition. The items that ProLogis excludes from the funds from operations measure as defined by NAREIT, while frequent and usual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period-to-period and can have both positive and negative effects on ProLogis results of operations for reasons unrelated to factors that ProLogis considers to be key in evaluating and analyzing its operating performance. Further, ProLogis believes that financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders are most interested in, and best served by, the clearer presentation of comparable period operating results resulting from the calculation of funds from operations which incorporates these adjustments to the NAREIT definition. Accordingly, ProLogis funds from operations measure does not include: (i) deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses of ProLogis taxable subsidiaries; (ii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between ProLogis and its foreign consolidated subsidiaries; (iii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between ProLogis and its foreign unconsolidated investees; (iv) 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 unconsolidated investees; and (v) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to manage ProLogis foreign currency risks.
Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares decreased by $5.6 million to $100.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $106.2 million for the same period in 2002. Funds from operations are as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of March 31, 2003, no significant change had occurred in ProLogis interest rate risk or foreign currency risk as discussed in ProLogis 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of ProLogis management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ProLogis disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by ProLogis in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in ProLogis internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
