PROLOGIS TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL:
Business
ProLogis Trust (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and
partnerships "ProLogis") is a publicly held real estate investment trust
("REIT") that owns and operates a network of industrial distribution facilities
in North America and Europe. The ProLogis Operating System(TM), comprised of the
Market Services Group, the Global Services Group, the Global Development Group
and the Integrated Solutions Group, utilizes ProLogis' international network of
distribution facilities to meet its customers' distribution space needs
globally. ProLogis has organized its business into three operating segments:
property operations, corporate distribution facilities services business ("CDFS
business") and temperature-controlled distribution operations. See Note 8.
Principles of Financial Presentation
The consolidated condensed financial statements of ProLogis as of March 31,
2001 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 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. While management of ProLogis believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate, these interim consolidated condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with ProLogis' December 31, 2000
audited consolidated financial statements contained in ProLogis' 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended.
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, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the entire year. Certain of the 2000 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2001 financial statement presentation.
The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $41.5 million and $42.0 million for the three months in
2001 and 2000, respectively, which is net of capitalized interest of $5.9
million and $4.2 million, respectively. Amortization of deferred loan costs
included in interest expense was $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three
months in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total interest paid in cash on all
outstanding debt was $38.9 million and $30.4 million during 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, ProLogis uses certain derivative
financial instruments for the purpose of foreign currency exchange rate and
interest rate risk management. All derivative financial instruments are
accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized immediately in
accumulated other comprehensive income or income.
ProLogis adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities," as
amended, on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 provides comprehensive guidelines for
the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities and,
specifically, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at
fair value as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other
comprehensive income or income. ProLogis' only derivative financial instruments
in effect at March 31, 2001 are foreign currency put option contracts that have
been previously marked to market through income, as they did not qualify for
hedge accounting treatment. These contracts also do not qualify for hedge
accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, therefore, ProLogis has continued to
mark these contracts to market through income during the three months ended
March 31, 2001. ProLogis' unconsolidated entities also adopted SFAS No. 133 on
January 1, 2001. The effect to ProLogis of their adoption of SFAS No. 133 was
immaterial as these entities utilize derivative financial instruments on a
limited basis.
6
In assessing the fair value of its financial instruments, both derivative
and non-derivative, ProLogis uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are
based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date.
Primarily, ProLogis uses quoted market prices or quotes from brokers or dealers
for the same or similar instruments. These values represent a general
approximation of possible value and may never actually be realized.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains or Losses
ProLogis' consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars. Assets and
liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial
statement date. 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 and its foreign subsidiaries have certain
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 included in ProLogis' results of operations. In addition,
gains or losses are recorded in the income statement when a transaction with a
third party, denominated in a currency other than the 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 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):

2. AMENDED QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q/A#1
ProLogis' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2001
originally filed on May 10, 2001 included the financial position and results of
operations of ProLogis' subsidiary, Kingspark Holding S.A. and subsidiaries
("Kingspark S.A."), in its unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
on a consolidated basis. Until January 5, 2001, ProLogis owned only the
non-voting preferred stock of Kingspark S.A. and reported its investment in
Kingspark S.A. under the equity method. On that date, ProLogis acquired an
indirect interest in the voting common stock of Kingspark S.A. and began
consolidating it in its financial statements along with its other majority-owned
and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships. After reconsideration of the facts
underlying its ownership position, ProLogis determined that its indirect
ownership interest in the voting common stock of Kingspark S.A. does not give it
control such that consolidation is the appropriate method of reporting.
Therefore, ProLogis has amended its unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included in this
Form 10-Q/A#1 to reflect its investment in Kingspark S.A. under the equity
method, consistent with its reporting of this investment prior to January 5,
2001. Further, ProLogis has amended its unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2001
included in this Form 10-Q/A#1 to reflect its investments in two other entities,
whose sole purpose is to hold preferred stock in technology companies, under the
equity method. ProLogis began consolidating these entities in 2001, but as with
Kingspark S.A., subsequently determined that its ownership interest did not give
it control. These changes in reporting have no effect on ProLogis' shareholders
equity as of March 31, 2001 or its net earnings attributable to Common Shares,
net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share or comprehensive income for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. These changes in reporting did result in
changes in certain financial statement amounts as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The most significant of which are as follows (in
thousands):

(1) CSI/Frigo LLC, a limited liability company, owns 100% of the voting common
stock of both ProLogis Logistics Services Incorporated ("ProLogis
Logistics") and Frigoscandia Holding S.A. ("Frigoscandia S.A."). ProLogis
directly owns all of the non-voting preferred stock of both ProLogis
Logistics and Frigoscandia S.A. representing a 95% interest in the earnings
of these entities.
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. ProLogis has a 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. Mr. Brooksher may transfer
his membership interest, subject to certain conditions, including the
approval of ProLogis. There are no provisions that give ProLogis the right
to acquire Mr. Brooksher's membership interests. Mr. Brooksher does not
receive compensation in connection with being the managing member. Mr.
Brooksher invested $50,000 in CSI/Frigo LLC. Mr. Brooksher's membership
interests and the terms of the participating note entitle him to receive
dividends equal to 5% of the net cash flow of CSI/Frigo LLC, as defined, if
any. ProLogis' ownership interests in CSI/Frigo LLC, ProLogis Logistics and
Frigoscandia S.A. do not result in ProLogis having ownership of or control
of the voting common stock or voting membership interests of these
entities; therefore, they are not consolidated in ProLogis' condensed
financial statements. See Note 10.
Prior to January 5, 2001, the common stock of ProLogis Logistics was owned
by unrelated third parties and the common stock of Frigoscandia S.A. was
owned by a limited liability company in which unrelated third parties owned
100% of the voting interests and Security Capital Group Incorporated
("Security Capital"), ProLogis' largest shareholder, owned 100% of the
non-voting interests. On January 5, 2001, the common stock of both ProLogis
Logistics and Frigoscandia S.A. was acquired by CSI/Frigo LLC for an
aggregate purchase price of $3.3 million.

and is the managing member. Mr. Brooksher may transfer his membership
interests, subject to certain conditions, including the approval of
ProLogis. There are no provisions that give ProLogis the right to acquire
Mr. Brooksher's membership interests. Mr. Brooksher does not receive
compensation in connection with being the managing member. Mr. Brooksher
invested $40,557 in Kingspark LLC which was loaned to him by ProLogis. The
recourse loan is payable on January 5, 2006 and bears interest at an annual
rate of 8.0%. Mr. Brooksher's membership interests entitle him to receive
dividends equal to 5% of the net cash flow of Kingspark LLC, as defined, if
any. Neither ProLogis' ownership interests in Kingspark LLC and Kingspark
S.A., nor its loan to Mr. Brooksher, result in ProLogis having ownership of
or control of the voting common stock or voting membership interests of
these entities; therefore, they are not consolidated in ProLogis' financial
statements. See Note 10.
Prior to January 5, 2001, the common stock of Kingspark S.A. was owned by a

exercise of stock options.
ProLogis called for the redemption of all of its outstanding Series B

On January 11, 2001, ProLogis announced a Common Share repurchase program

privately negotiated transactions, depending on market prices and other
conditions. As of March 31, 2001, no common shares had been repurchased.
On March 30, 2001, ProLogis called for the redemption of its outstanding

cumulative redeemable Series A preferred share, $4.27 per cumulative redeemable
Series C preferred share, $1.98 per cumulative redeemable Series D preferred
share and $2.1875 per cumulative redeemable Series E preferred share.
On January 31, 2001, ProLogis paid quarterly dividends of $0.5469 per

sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for
the then-current dividend period with respect to the preferred shares.

8. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
ProLogis has three reportable business segments:
o Property operations represents the long-term ownership and leasing of
industrial distribution facilities in the United States (portions of
which are owned through ProLogis California, ProLogis North American
Properties Fund I and ProLogis North American Properties Fund II -- See
Note 3), Mexico and Europe (portions of which are owned through ProLogis
European Properties Fund and ProLogis European Properties S.a.r.l. --
See Note 3); each operating facility is considered to be an individual
operating segment having similar economic characteristics which are
combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location;
o CDFS business represents the development of industrial distribution
facilities by ProLogis and Kingspark S.A. (which is not consolidated in
ProLogis' financial statements) in the United States, Mexico and Europe
(see Note 4) which are often disposed of to third parties or entities in
which ProLogis has an ownership interest and the development of
industrial distribution facilities by ProLogis and Kingspark S.A. on a
fee basis for third parties in the United States, Mexico and Europe; the
development activities of ProLogis and Kingspark S.A. are considered to
be individual operating segments having similar economic characteristics
which are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic
location; and
o Temperature-controlled distribution operations represents the operation
of a temperature-controlled distribution and logistics network through
investments in unconsolidated entities in the United States (ProLogis
Logistics) and Europe (Frigoscandia S.A.). The operations of these
entities are considered to be one operating segment. See Note 4.
Reconciliations of the three reportable segments': (i) income from external
customers to ProLogis' total income; (ii) net operating income from external
customers to ProLogis' earnings before minority interest (ProLogis' chief
operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and related
measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment
performance); and (iii) assets to ProLogis' total assets are as follows (in
thousands):

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
ProLogis has invested in the non-voting preferred stock of certain entities
that have ownership interests in companies that produce income that is not REIT
qualifying income (i.e., rental income and mortgage interest income) under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Therefore, the voting
common stock of these companies was held by third parties including entities in
which Security Capital, ProLogis' largest shareholder, held non-voting
interests. The Code, as amended in 2001, allows for ProLogis to have a voting
ownership interest in these entities. ProLogis began negotiations to acquire the
voting ownership interests in these entities during 2000. Before the
acquisitions were completed it was determined that the state income tax laws
governing REITs were not all going to be changed to coincide with the amendments
to the Code. Therefore, K. Dane Brooksher, ProLogis' chairman and chief
executive officer, acquired the voting ownership interests in Frigoscandia S.A.,
ProLogis Logistics and Kingspark S.A. from the third parties and Security
Capital. See Note 4.
Mr. Brooksher's voting ownership interests in the entities in which
ProLogis has only non-voting ownership interests are:
o Kingspark LLC, a limited liability company formed on January 5, 2001,
acquired the voting common stock of Kingspark S.A. (an entity in which
ProLogis owns all of the non-voting preferred stock) for $8.1 million.
ProLogis funded the entire purchase price either directly or through
loans to Kingspark LLC or Mr. Brooksher. The ProLogis loan to
Kingspark LLC is in the principal amount of $7.3 million, is due
January 5, 2006 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.0%. ProLogis
made a direct capital contribution to Kingspark LLC in the amount of
$770,973. Mr. Brooksher's $40,557 capital contribution to Kingspark
LLC was loaned to him by ProLogis, which recourse loan is payable on
January 5, 2006 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.0%. Mr.
Brooksher's membership interests entitle him to receive dividends
equal to 5% of the net cash flow of Kingspark LLC, as defined, if any.
Mr. Brooksher is the managing member and he may transfer his
membership interests, subject to certain conditions, including the
approval of ProLogis. There are no provisions that give ProLogis the
right to acquire Mr. Brooksher's membership interests. Mr. Brooksher
does not receive compensation in connection with being the managing
member. See Note 4.
o CSI/Frigo LLC, a limited liability company formed on January 5, 2001,
acquired the voting common stock of Frigoscandia S.A. and ProLogis
Logistics (both entities in which ProLogis owns all of the non-voting
preferred stock) for $3.3 million. ProLogis loaned $2.9 million to
CSI/Frigo LLC, which loan is due January 5, 2011 and bears interest at
an annual rate of 8.0%. ProLogis also made a capital contribution to
CSI/Frigo LLC in the amount of $404,545 and Mr. Brooksher made a
$50,000 capital contribution to CSI/Frigo LLC. Mr. Brooksher's
membership interests (after considering the terms of the participating
note from CSI/Frigo LLC to ProLogis) entitle him to receive dividends
equal to 5% of the net cash flow of CSI/Frigo LLC, as defined, if any.
Mr. Brooksher is the managing member and he may transfer his
membership interest, subject to certain conditions, including the
approval of ProLogis. There are no provisions that give ProLogis the
right to acquire Mr. Brooksher's membership interests. Mr. Brooksher
does not receive compensation in connection with being the managing
member.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, Mr. Brooksher has an effective
0.04% interest in the earnings of ProLogis Logistics, an effective 0.25%
interest in the earnings of Frigoscandia S.A. and an effective 0.25% interest in
the earnings of Kingspark S.A.
In 2000, ProLogis invested in GoProLogis and ProLogis PhatPipe, whose
income is not REIT qualifying income under the Code (amendments to the Code and
state income tax laws governing REITs were not in effect at this time). These
investments were structured whereby ProLogis would have only a non-voting
preferred stock ownership interest. To complete the transactions, Mr. Brooksher
acquired the voting ownership interest in each entity as noted below.
20
o GoProLogis owns preferred stock in Vizional Technologies. Mr.
Brooksher owns all of the voting common stock of GoProLogis,
representing a 2% interest in the earnings of GoProLogis and he is
entitled to receive dividends equal to 2% of the net cash flow of
GoProLogis, as defined, if any. ProLogis owns all of the non-voting
preferred stock of GoProLogis, representing a 98% interest in the
earnings of GoProLogis and ProLogis is entitled to receive dividends
equal to the remaining 98% of net cash flow, as defined, if any. Mr.
Brooksher contributed a $1.1 million recourse promissory note to
GoProLogis in exchange for his interest in the entity, which note is
payable on July 18, 2005 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.0%.
Mr. Brooksher is not restricted from transferring his ownership
interest in GoProLogis and ProLogis has the right to acquire Mr.
Brooksher's ownership interest beginning in 2001 for a price equal to
the outstanding principal amount of the promissory note plus accrued
and unpaid interest. See Note 4.
o ProLogis PhatPipe owns preferred stock in PhatPipe. Mr. Brooksher owns
all of the voting common stock of ProLogis PhatPipe, representing a 2%
interest in the earnings of ProLogis PhatPipe and he is entitled to
receive dividends equal to 2% of the net cash flow of GoProLogis, as
defined, if any. ProLogis owns all of the non-voting preferred stock
of ProLogis PhatPipe, representing a 98% interest in the earnings of
ProLogis PhatPipe and ProLogis is entitled to receive dividends equal
to the remaining 98% of net cash flow, as defined, if any. Mr.
Brooksher contributed recourse promissory notes with the aggregate
principal amount of $122,449 to ProLogis PhatPipe in exchange for his
interest in the entity, which notes are payable on September 20, 2005
($71,429 principal amount) and January 4, 2006 ($51,020 principal
amount). Both notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8.0%. Mr.
Brooksher is not restricted from transferring his ownership interest
in ProLogis PhatPipe and ProLogis has the right to acquire Mr.
Brooksher's ownership interest beginning in 2001 for a price equal to
the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the promissory notes
plus accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 4.
As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis had other loans outstanding from
Mr. Brooksher with an aggregate principal amount of $2,105,000. Of these,
$1,867,000 was loaned to Mr. Brooksher under ProLogis' employee share purchase
plan.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Environmental Matters
All of the facilities acquired by ProLogis have been subjected to
environmental reviews by ProLogis or predecessor owners. While some of these
assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the
environmental assessments has revealed, nor is ProLogis aware of any
environmental liability (including asbestos related liability) that ProLogis
believes would have a material adverse effect on ProLogis' business, financial
condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
ProLogis Trust:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets of
ProLogis Trust and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of earnings and comprehensive income and the
consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Trust's 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, 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis Trust
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and in our report dated March 15,
2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet
as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

in general economic conditions in ProLogis' markets that could adversely affect
demand for ProLogis' facilities 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 and its ability to
meet its financial needs and obligations, (iii) increased or unanticipated
competition for distribution facilities in ProLogis' target market cities; and
(iv) those factors discussed in ProLogis' 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
amended.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
ProLogis' net earnings attributable to Common Shares were $44.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $44.9 million for the same
period in 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, basic and diluted per
share net earnings attributable to Common Shares were $0.26 and $0.25 per share,
respectively. Basic and diluted per share net earnings attributable to Common
Shares were $0.28 per share for the same period in 2000.
The CDFS business segment provides capital for ProLogis to redeploy into
its development activities in addition to generating profits that contribute to
ProLogis' total income. ProLogis' income from this segment increased by $17.6
million in 2001 over 2000, primarily the result of the number of dispositions of
facilities developed by ProLogis to entities in which ProLogis maintains an
ownership interest, such as ProLogis North American Properties Fund II and
ProLogis European Properties Fund, as well as to third parties. The 2001
increases in the CDFS business segment income were offset by a $11.7 million
decrease from 2000 in the property operations segment's income. This operating
segment's net income includes rental income and net rental expenses from
facilities directly owned by ProLogis and also its share of the income of its
unconsolidated entities that engage in property operations segment activities.
Income from ProLogis' temperature-controlled distribution operations decreased
in 2001 from 2000 by $10.7 million, primarily due to losses incurred in the
European operations. See "-- Property Operations", "-- CDFS Business" and "--
Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations".

----------
(1) Includes operating facilities owned by ProLogis and its consolidated
entities. The decrease in 2001 from 2000 is primarily the result of the
formation of ProLogis North American Properties Fund I in June 2000 and
ProLogis North American Properties Fund II in 2001, whose entire portfolios
consist of operating facilities that were previously directly owned by
ProLogis.
(2) ProLogis has had a 50% ownership interest in ProLogis California since its
inception. See Note 3 to ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements in Item 1.
(3) ProLogis has a 41.3% ownership interest as of March 31, 2001 in ProLogis
North American Fund I which was formed on June 30, 2000. All operating
facilities owned by this entity were previously directly owned by ProLogis.
See Note 3 to ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item
1.
(4) ProLogis has a 20.0% ownership interest as of March 31, 2001 in ProLogis
North American Fund II which was originally formed on June 30, 2000. All
operating facilities owned by this entity were previously directly owned by
ProLogis. See Note 3 to ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements in Item 1.
(5) As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis' ownership interest in ProLogis European
Properties Fund is 41.8%. As of March 31, 2000, ProLogis had a 44.6%
ownership interest in the ProLogis European Properties Fund. See Note 3 to
ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
ProLogis' property operations segment income consists of the: (i) net
operating income from the operating facilities that are owned by ProLogis
directly or through its consolidated entities and (ii) the income recognized by
ProLogis under the equity method from its investments in unconsolidated entities
engaged in property operations. See Note 8 to ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements in Item 1. The amounts recognized under the equity method
are based on the net earnings of each unconsolidated entity and include:
interest income and interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses,
general and administrative expenses, income taxes and foreign currency exchange
gains and losses (with respect to ProLogis European Properties Fund and ProLogis
European Properties S.a.r.l.). ProLogis' net operating income from the property
operations segment was as follows (in thousands) (see Note 8 to ProLogis'
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1):

========== ==========
(1) The fluctuations in rental expenses between years is primarily the result
of the changes in the composition of the directly owned facilities in each
year in addition to increased rental expense recoveries (as a percentage of
total rental expenses) in each year. Rental expenses, before recoveries
from tenants were 26.5% of rental income for 2001 and 24.6% of rental
income for 2000. Total rental expense recoveries were 78.6% and 78.0% of
total rental expenses in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in
rental expense recoveries as a percentage of total rental expenses reflects
ProLogis' emphasis on on-site property management teams and the
effectiveness of the ProLogis Operating System(TM).
(2) ProLogis North American Properties Fund I and ProLogis North American
Properties Fund II began operations on June 30, 2000.
24
(3) In 2001, ProLogis' share of the income of ProLogis European Properties Fund
and ProLogis European Properties S.a.r.l. includes net foreign currency
losses of $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In 2000, ProLogis'
share of the income of ProLogis European Properties Fund and ProLogis
European Properties S.a.r.l. includes net foreign currency gains of $5.1
million and $3.3 million, respectively. Excluding net foreign currency
exchange gains and losses, ProLogis' share of the income of ProLogis
European Properties Fund would have been $1.3 million and $2.2 million for
2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding net foreign currency exchange gains
and losses, ProLogis' share of the income of ProLogis European Properties
S.a.r.l. would have been $229,000 and $1.6 million for 2001 and 2000,
respectively. ProLogis European Properties Fund's income decreased in 2001
from 2000 primarily due to higher interest expense in 2001 due to higher
debt levels. ProLogis recognized income under the equity method related to
ProLogis European Properties S.a.r.l. in 2001 for only six days.
The facilities that ProLogis develops are not always pre-leased at the
start of construction. In addition, ProLogis may acquire facilities that are
underleased at the time of acquisition. While these situations will reduce
ProLogis' overall occupancy rate below its stabilized level in the short-term,
they do provide opportunities to increase revenues. The term "stabilized" means
that capital improvements, repositioning, new management and new marketing
programs (or development and marketing, in the case of newly developed
facilities) have been in effect for a sufficient period of time (generally 12
months) to achieve stabilized occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90% to
95%, depending on the submarket and product type). ProLogis has been successful
in increasing occupancies on acquired and developed facilities during their
initial months of operation, resulting in an occupancy rate of 94.6% and a
leased rate of 95.6% for stabilized facilities owned by ProLogis and its
consolidated and unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2001. The average
increase in rental rates for both new and renewed leases on previously leased
space (8.5 million square feet) for all facilities including those owned by
ProLogis' consolidated and unconsolidated entities during 2001 was 20.2%. During
2001, the net operating income (rental income less net rental expenses)
generated by ProLogis' "same store" portfolio of operating facilities
(facilities owned by ProLogis and its consolidated and unconsolidated entities
that were in operation throughout both 2001 and 2000) increased by 3.90% over
2000.
There has been minimal impact of the California energy situation and the
attendant increase in utility costs on ProLogis' income from the property
operations segment. ProLogis' customers are responsible for their direct utility
bills and ProLogis' facilities have minimal common utility charges, which are
generally included in amounts recovered from customers under the terms of the
lease agreements. Given the typical use of ProLogis' distribution facilities
(bulk distribution and light manufacturing and assembly uses), ProLogis believes
that its customers' total utility expenses are a small portion of the total
expenses related to the operations within ProLogis' facilities.
CDFS Business
Income from ProLogis' CDFS business segment consists primarily of: (i) the
profits from the disposition of land parcels and facilities that were developed
by ProLogis and disposed of to customers or to entities in which ProLogis has an
ownership interest; (ii) development fees earned by ProLogis; and (iii) income
recognized under the equity method from ProLogis' investment in Kingspark S.A.
Kingspark S.A. engages in CDFS business activities in the United Kingdom similar
to those activities performed directly by ProLogis. ProLogis recognizes in
excess of 99% of the net earnings of Kingspark S.A. under the equity method that
includes: interest income and interest expense (net of capitalized amounts),
general and administrative expense (net of capitalized amounts), income taxes
and foreign currency exchange gains and losses.
The CDFS business segment operations increased in volume for the three
months in 2001 over the same period in 2000; consequently, ProLogis' income from
this segment has increased in each year. The CDFS business segment income is
comprised of the following (in thousands):

o Deferred and current income tax expense of $2.5 million; and

o Development fees and other miscellaneous net income of $2.6 million;
o Deferred and current income tax expense of $0.8 million; and
o Foreign currency exchange gains of $0.4 million.
Temperature-Controlled Distribution Operations
ProLogis recognizes income from the temperature-controlled distribution
operations segment of its business under the equity method. ProLogis' share of
the net income or loss of ProLogis Logistics and Frigoscandia S.A. was as
follows (in thousands) (see Notes 4 and 8 to ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements in Item 1):

Total temperature-controlled distribution
Operations segment ........................... $ (9,472) $ 1,197
======== ========
Amounts recognized under the equity method of accounting from ProLogis
Logistics and Frigoscandia S.A. includes interest income and interest expense,
depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense,
income taxes and foreign currency exchange gains and losses (with respect to
Frigoscandia). ProLogis recognizes in excess of 99% the net earnings of each
entity in 2001, as compared to 95% in 2000.
CSI's operating capacity was comparable in both three-month periods. The
decrease in ProLogis' share of ProLogis Logistics' net earnings from 2000 to
2001 of $4.6 million is primarily attributable to higher interest expense as a
result of increasing external debt by $125.0 million. The proceeds from the
borrowings of ProLogis Logistics were used to repay $125.0 million of
outstanding notes and accrued interest due to ProLogis. See "-- Liquidity and
Capital Resources -- Credit Facilities".
Frigoscandia's operating capacity was comparable in both three-month
periods. ProLogis' share of Frigoscandia S.A.'s net losses includes net foreign
currency exchange losses of $1.4 million and $2.2 million in 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Excluding these foreign currency exchange losses, ProLogis
recognized $6.8 million less income under the equity method in 2001 than it
recognized in 2000 from its investment in Frigoscandia S.A. The increase in
Frigoscandia S.A.'s net loss in 2001 from the loss recognized in 2000 is
primarily due to lower occupancy levels, principally the result of the reduction
in inventories of beef and pork products by the German and French governments.
ProLogis believes that the factors that contributed to the decline in
operating performance of Frigoscandia are temporary and can be partially
mitigated in the short-term by reductions in general and administrative costs
and other operating costs. However, there is no assurance that these factors are
temporary or that some or all of these factors will not continue past 2001.
ProLogis and Frigoscandia are currently monitoring the recent outbreak of foot
and mouth disease in Europe. At this time, the effect (positive or negative), if
any, on the demand for temperature-controlled distribution services and the
related transportation services offered by Frigoscandia cannot be determined.
26
Other Income and Expense Items
Interest Expense
Interest expense is a function of the level of borrowings outstanding
offset by interest capitalization with respect to development activities.
Interest expense was $41.5 million in 2001 and $42.0 million in 2000.
Capitalized interest was $5.9 million in 2001 and $4.2 million in 2000.
Capitalized interest levels are reflective of ProLogis' cost of funds and the
level of development activity in each year.
Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Real Estate
Gain on disposition of real estate represents the net gains from the
disposition of operating facilities that were acquired or developed within the
property operations segment. Generally, ProLogis disposes of facilities in the
property operations segment because such facilities are considered to be
non-strategic facilities or to complement the portfolio of developed facilities
that are acquired by entities in which ProLogis maintains an ownership interest.
Non-strategic facilities 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 asset's size or configuration.
Property operations segment dispositions were as follows:
o 2001: 1.6 million square feet; $62.9 million of proceeds; net loss of
$1.7 million (offset by a gain of $0.5 million recognized upon the
contribution of ProLogis' 49.9% investment in the common stock of
ProLogis European Properties S.a.r.l. to ProLogis European Properties
Fund), and
o 2000: 0.7 million square feet; $26.4 million of proceeds; net gains of
$5.1 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Losses
ProLogis recognized net foreign currency exchange gains of $2.7 million and
net foreign currency exchange losses of $6.5 million for 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are primarily the
result of the remeasurement and settlement of intercompany debt and the
remeasurement of third party debt of ProLogis' foreign subsidiaries.
Fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized in
each period are a product of movements in certain foreign currency exchange
rates, primarily the euro and the pound sterling and the level of intercompany
and third party debt outstanding that is denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar.
Income Taxes
ProLogis is taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and is not
required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution and income, asset
and shareholder tests are met. ProLogis Development Services is not a qualified
REIT subsidiary for tax purposes. Also, the foreign countries in which ProLogis
operates do not recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly,
ProLogis recognizes income taxes as appropriate and in accordance with GAAP with
respect to the taxable earnings of ProLogis Development Services and its foreign
subsidiaries.
Current income tax expense recognized in 2001 and 2000 was $1.6 million and
$0.1 million, respectively. Current income tax expense is higher in 2001
primarily due to the increased level of income recognized by ProLogis' taxable
subsidiaries in the CDFS business segment. Deferred income tax expense was $0.9
million and zero in 2001 and 2000, respectively. ProLogis' deferred tax
component of total income taxes is a function of each year's temporary
differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for book
purposes) as well as the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance to adjust
certain deferred tax assets (primarily deferred tax assets created by tax net
operating losses) to their estimated realizable value.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
ProLogis has not experienced any environmental condition on its facilities,
which materially adversely affected its results of operations or financial
position nor is ProLogis aware of any environmental liability that ProLogis
believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition or results of operations.
27
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
ProLogis considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from
operations as well as its financing capabilities (including proceeds from the
disposition of facilities) to be adequate and expects it to continue to be
adequate to meet its anticipated development, acquisition, operating and debt
service needs as well as its shareholder distribution requirements.
ProLogis' future investing activities are expected to consist of: (i)
acquisitions of existing facilities in key distribution markets in the property
operations segment; (ii) the acquisition of land for future development and the
development of distribution facilities in the CDFS business segment for future
disposition to entities in which ProLogis maintains an ownership interest or to
third parties; and (iii) certain temperature-controlled distribution facility
expansions and, to a limited extent, investments in additional
temperature-controlled distribution facilities. Temperature-controlled
investments will be made as deemed necessary to achieve strategic objectives
with respect to targeted markets in the United States or to address specific
customer needs in the United States and Europe. ProLogis' future investing
activities are expected to be primarily funded with:
o cash generated by operations;
o the proceeds from the disposition of facilities developed to third
parties;
o the proceeds from the disposition of facilities to entities in which
ProLogis maintains an ownership interest, such as ProLogis European
Properties Fund or other entities that may be formed in the future;
and
o utilization of ProLogis' revolving credit facilities.
In the short-term, borrowings on and subsequent repayments of ProLogis'
unsecured revolving credit facilities will provide ProLogis with adequate
liquidity and financial flexibility to efficiently respond to market
opportunities. As of May 10, 2001, on a combined basis, ProLogis had
approximately $389.8 million of short-term borrowing capacity available under
its U.S. dollar denominated and multi-currency unsecured revolving credit
facilities (see "-- Credit Facilities"). ProLogis will continue to evaluate the
public debt markets with the objective of reducing its short-term borrowings and
extending debt maturities on favorable terms.
Within ProLogis European Properties Fund, ProLogis has access to 396.9
million euros (the currency equivalent of approximately $349.9 million as of
March 31, 2001) of third party equity capital in Europe that has been committed
primarily by institutional investors through 2002 to fund acquisitions of
ProLogis' completed stabilized European developments and acquisitions of other
facilities from third parties. ProLogis European Properties Fund has a
multi-currency secured, revolving credit facility in the currency equivalent of
500.0 million euros that is utilized in conjunction with the committed equity to
provide additional capital for its acquisitions. As of March 31, 2001, 95.4
million euros and 73.6 million pounds sterling (the currency equivalent of
approximately $189.2 million) was outstanding on the 500.0 million euro credit
facility. As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis no longer guarantees this credit
agreement. In April 2001, ProLogis European Properties Fund placed over 212.0
million euros (the currency equivalent of approximately $186.9 million as of
March 31, 2001) of permanent commercial mortgage-backed securities. The proceeds
were used to repay borrowings on the credit agreement.
Cash Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $104.8 million in 2001 and
$93.3 million in 2000. The increase is primarily the result of the increased
number of operating facilities in 2001. See "-- Results of Operations --
Property Operations". Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash
distributions paid on Common Shares in 2001 and 2000. See ProLogis' Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
In 2001, ProLogis' investing activities provided net cash of $253.3 million
and financing activities used net cash of $382.5 million. Proceeds received from
the dispositions of real estate and the repayments of loans by and distributions
received from ProLogis' unconsolidated entities were used to fund real estate
investments and repay borrowings on ProLogis' line of credit. In 2000, ProLogis
used net cash of $70.9 million in financing activities, which was primarily
funded by borrowings on its line of credit. See ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1.
28
Credit Facilities
ProLogis has an unsecured credit agreement that provides for a $475.0
million unsecured revolving line of credit. ProLogis Logistics and ProLogis
Development Services may also borrow under the credit agreement, with such
borrowings guaranteed by ProLogis. As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis had no
borrowings outstanding on the unsecured line of credit and ProLogis was in
compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement. As of March 31,
2001, ProLogis Logistics had borrowed $125.0 million under the credit agreement
and ProLogis Development Services had no borrowings under the credit agreement.
ProLogis has a credit agreement that provides for a 325.0 million euro
multi-currency, unsecured revolving line of credit (the currency equivalent of
approximately $286.6 million as of March 31, 2001). As of March 31, 2001, there
were 132.8 million euros (the currency equivalent of approximately $120.2
million) of borrowings outstanding on the line of credit and ProLogis was in
compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement.
Commitments
As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis had letters of intent or contingent
contracts, subject to ProLogis' final due diligence, for the acquisition of 1.7
million square feet of operating facilities at an estimated acquisition cost of
$41.4 million. The foregoing transactions are subject to a number of conditions,
and ProLogis cannot predict with certainty that they will be consummated. In
addition, as of March 31, 2001, ProLogis had $390.5 million of budgeted
development costs for developments in process, of which $241.2 million was
unfunded.
On January 11, 2001, ProLogis announced a Common Share repurchase program
under which it may repurchase up to $100.0 million of its Common Shares. The
Common Shares will be repurchased from time to time in the open market and in
privately negotiated transactions, depending on market prices and other
conditions. As of March 31, 2001, no common shares had been repurchased.
On March 30, 2001, ProLogis called for the redemption of its outstanding
Series A cumulative, redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest ("Series
A preferred shares") at the price of $25.00 per share, plus $0.2481 in accrued
and unpaid dividends, for an aggregate redemption price of $25.2481 per share
(the "Redemption Price"). The shares were redeemed on May 8, 2001 at a total
cost of $136.3 million.
ProLogis has entered into a subscription agreement to make additional
capital contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund of 84.4 million euros
(the currency equivalent of approximately $74.4 million as of March 31, 2001)
through 2002. Also, ProLogis is committed to invest an additional $2.0 million
in the non-cumulative preferred stock of PhatPipe Inc. during 2001. See Note 4
to ProLogis' Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
As of March 31, 2001, Frigoscandia AB had a 138.5 million euro credit
agreement (increased to 185.0 million in April 2001). ProLogis has guaranteed
100% of the borrowings under the agreement. The currency equivalent of
approximately $122.3 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2001. Additionally,
in April 2001, the currency equivalent of approximately $45.9 million was
borrowed under the credit agreement. The agreement expires on September 28, 2001
and contains a provision to extend the due date until December 28, 2001.
ProLogis European Properties Fund has a credit agreement with two
international banks for a multi-currency secured revolving credit facility in
the currency equivalent of 500.0 million euros. The credit agreement matures in
October 2002. Borrowings can be denominated in sterling currencies or the euro.
As of March 31, 2001, 95.4 million euros and 73.6 million pound sterling were
outstanding on the line (the currency equivalent of approximately $189.2 million
as of March 31, 2001). As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis no longer guarantees this
credit agreement.
ProLogis Kingspark has a line of credit agreement with a bank in the United
Kingdom that has been guaranteed by ProLogis and provides for borrowings of up
to 15.0 million pounds sterling (the currency equivalent of approximately $21.7
million as of March 31, 2001). As of March 31, 2001, no borrowings were
outstanding on the line of credit. However, ProLogis Kingspark had the currency
equivalent of approximately $9.9 million of letters of credit outstanding that
reduce the amount of available borrowings on the line of credit.
ProLogis has guaranteed a 140.0 million French franc (the currency
equivalent of approximately $18.8 million as of March 31, 2001) unsecured loan
outstanding of ProLogis European Properties S.a.r.l.

As of March 31, 2001, ProLogis North American Properties Fund II has a
$165.0 million short-term borrowing arrangement outstanding, due June 25, 2001.
ProLogis North American Properties Fund II intends to obtain permanent secured
financing which will be used to refinance the short-term borrowings. ProLogis
has guaranteed the 100% of the amount outstanding.
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
ProLogis' current distribution policy is to pay quarterly distributions to
shareholders based upon what it considers to be a reasonable percentage of cash
flow and at the level that will allow ProLogis to continue to qualify as a REIT
for tax purposes. 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 consistently higher than
annual earnings.
On February 23, 2001, ProLogis paid a quarterly distribution of $0.345 per
Common Share to shareholders of record on February 9, 2001, respectively. The
distribution level for 2001 was set by ProLogis' Board of Trustees in December
2000 at $1.38 per Common Share.
The annual dividend rates on ProLogis' preferred shares are $2.35 per
cumulative redeemable Series A preferred share, $4.27 per cumulative redeemable
Series C preferred share, $1.98 per cumulative redeemable Series D preferred
share and $2.1875 per cumulative redeemable Series E preferred share.
On January 31, 2001, ProLogis paid quarterly dividends of $0.5469 per
cumulative redeemable Series E preferred share. On March 30, 2001, ProLogis paid
quarterly dividends of $0.5875 per cumulative redeemable Series A preferred
share, $1.0675 per cumulative redeemable Series C preferred share and $0.495 per
cumulative redeemable Series D preferred share.
Pursuant to the terms of its preferred shares, ProLogis is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless
and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have
been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends for the then
current dividend period with respect to the preferred shares.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from operations attributable to Common Shares increased $12.9 million
to $100.7 million for 2001 from $87.8 million for 2000.
Funds from operations does not represent net income or cash from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs, which is presented in the Consolidated Condensed
Statement of Cash Flows in ProLogis' Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
in Item 1. Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to
net income 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. ProLogis considers funds from operations to be a useful
supplemental measure of comparative period operating performance and as a
supplemental measure to provide management, financial analysts, potential
investors and shareholders with an indication of ProLogis' ability to fund its
capital expenditures and investment activities and to fund other cash needs.
Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") generally as net income (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 entities to reflect their funds from operations
on the same basis. ProLogis includes gains and losses from the disposition of
its CDFS business segment assets in funds from operations.
Funds from operations, as used by ProLogis, is modified from the NAREIT
definition. 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 debt transactions between ProLogis and its consolidated and unconsolidated
entities; (iii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the
remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of third party
debt of ProLogis' foreign consolidated and unconsolidated entities; and (iv)
mark to market adjustments related to derivative financial instruments utilized
to manage ProLogis' foreign currency risks. These adjustments to the NAREIT
definition are made to reflect ProLogis' funds from operations on a comparable
basis with the other REITs that do not engage in the types of transactions that
give rise to these items.
