NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004 and 2003
(Unaudited)
1. General:
Business
ProLogis (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships ProLogis) is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns (directly or through unconsolidated investees), operates and develops industrial distribution properties in North America (the United States and Mexico), Europe (11 countries) and Asia (Japan). While ProLogis owned no real estate assets in China at June 30, 2004, it has initiated operations in China and, in April 2004 and July 2004, ProLogis formed two joint ventures to acquire and develop distribution properties in the Shanghai market. ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
ProLogis business consists of two reportable business segments: property operations and the corporate distribution facilities services business (CDFS business). The property operations segment represents the long-term ownership, management and leasing of distribution properties. The CDFS business segment primarily encompasses the development of distribution properties that are either contributed to an unconsolidated property fund in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, ProLogis will acquire distribution properties in the CDFS business segment that are generally rehabilitated and/or repositioned prior to being contributed to a property fund. See Note 11.
Principles of Financial Presentation
ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The accounts of ProLogis, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements and are presented in ProLogis functional currency, the U.S. dollar. ProLogis consolidates all entities in which it owns a majority voting interest and those variable interest entities, as defined, in which it is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions, including transactions with unconsolidated investees, have been eliminated.
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of ProLogis as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited and, pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted. Management of ProLogis believes that the disclosures presented are adequate. However, these interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with ProLogis December 31, 2003 audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued in January 2003 and revised in December 2003. ProLogis adopted the revised Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R) as of January 1, 2004. FIN 46R clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires that variable interest entities in which ProLogis is the primary beneficiary be presented on a consolidated basis in its financial statements. As a result of adopting FIN 46R on January 1, 2004, ProLogis began consolidating its investments in TCL Holding S.A. (TCL Holding), formerly Frigoscandia Holding S.A., and CSI/Frigo LLC, a company that holds the voting ownership interest in TCL Holding. Through December 31, 2003, ProLogis presented its investments in TCL Holding and CSI/Frigo LLC under the equity method. ProLogis combined effective ownership in these entities was 99.75% at both June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. ProLogis other unconsolidated investees are not variable interest entities as defined in FIN 46R. Therefore, ProLogis will continue to present its investments in these entities under the equity method. See Note 4.
7
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.
Certain amounts included in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 financial statement presentation.
2. Keystone Transaction:
On May 3, 2004, ProLogis and affiliates of four investment funds managed by Eaton Vance Management (the Fund Partners) established five property funds (the Acquiring Property Funds and also referred to by ProLogis as ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI, VII, VIII, IX and Xsee Note 4). Also on that date, ProLogis and the Acquiring Property Funds entered into an agreement to acquire the outstanding equity and operating units of Keystone Property Trust (Keystone), a publicly traded REIT (the Keystone Transaction). Keystone owned and leased industrial distribution properties located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina and Ohio. The Keystone Acquisition was approved by Keystones shareholders on July 30, 2004 and was closed on August 4, 2004.
ProLogis has a 20% ownership interest in the Acquiring Property Funds with the remainder owned by the Fund Partners. Consideration for the common shares of Keystone was paid in cash at $23.80 per share. The Acquiring Property Funds retired approximately $567 million of Keystones outstanding debt at closing. On September 3, 2004, Keystone will be liquidated and, in conjunction with such liquidation, all then outstanding preferred shares of Keystone will be cancelled and holders will receive a cash liquidation distribution in the aggregate amount of approximately $125 million, including accrued dividends.
The total consideration for the Keystone Acquisition was approximately $1.70 billion, including cash, assumed liabilities, preferred share liquidation payments and estimated transaction costs. ProLogis share of the total consideration was approximately $580 million, including approximately $300 million for the direct acquisition of certain Keystone assets. ProLogis issued approximately $30 million of limited partnership units that are redeemable for cash or, at ProLogis election, ProLogis common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (Common Shares), as part of its share of the total consideration. ProLogis and the Fund Partners funded approximately $915 million at closing (ProLogis share was approximately $183 million) on a short-term basis that ProLogis and the Fund Partners expect will be returned to them after long-term financing arrangements are completed by the Acquiring Property Funds. The Acquiring Property Funds expect to complete these financing arrangements in the third and fourth quarters of 2004.
Collectively, the Acquiring Property Funds acquired approximately $1.40 billion of assets from Keystone, including 22.5 million square feet of operating properties. ProLogis direct acquisition included operating properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet, Keystones 20% ownership interests in two unconsolidated entities that on a combined basis own 7.7 million square feet of operating properties, Keystones 50% ownership interest in an unconsolidated entity that is developing a 0.8 million square foot property and land positions aggregating 156 acres.
In anticipation of the closing of the Keystone Transaction, the Acquiring Property Funds entered into five rate-lock agreements with five U.S. life insurance companies to fix the interest rate for eight years on a total of $915 million of secured debt that may be issued by these companies (Anticipated Secured Debt). The rate-lock agreements are subject to the companies issuing firm commitments, reaching an agreement on the loan documents and the completion of customary lender due diligence by the companies. The average interest rate for the Anticipated Secured Debt is 5.48% per annum.
In May 2004, the Acquiring Property Funds entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of the future interest payments associated with the Anticipated Secured Debt. These interest rate swap agreements qualified for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of the interest rate swap agreements were subject to an indemnification agreement between the Acquiring Property Funds and ProLogis. The indemnification agreements obligate ProLogis to make any settlement payments that may become due and, alternatively, entitle ProLogis to receive any settlement proceeds that may be paid. The indemnification agreement relates to interest swap agreements with an aggregate
8
notional amount of $185.2 million, originally estimated to be the amount of the Anticipated Secured Debt attributable to ProLogis 20% ownership interest. Upon settlement of the swap agreements in June 2004 and July 2004, ProLogis net exposure under the indemnification agreements was $1.2 million.
On June 30, 2004, ProLogis contributed 21 operating properties aggregating 3.0 million square feet to the Acquiring Property Funds. Total proceeds from these contributions were $127.4 million. These properties will also secure a portion of the Anticipated Secured Debt. See Note 4.

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

Property Funds
Since 1999, ProLogis has formed 13 property funds. ProLogis ownership interests in these property funds ranged from 11.4% to 50% as of June 30, 2004. The property funds own operating properties that have generally been contributed to them by ProLogis. Certain of the property funds have also acquired properties from third parties. In most cases, ProLogis receives ownership interests in the property funds as part of the proceeds received from its contributions of properties. ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of each property fund under the equity method. ProLogis earns fees for acting as the manager of each of the property funds and may earn additional fees by providing other services to certain of the property funds including, but not limited to, acquisition, development and leasing activities performed on their behalf.

(10) | Under GAAP, a portion of the proceeds resulting from ProLogis contribution of a property to a property fund is deferred due to ProLogis continuing ownership in the property fund that acquires the property. The amount of the proceeds that ProLogis is unable to recognize in computing the gain on the contribution is recorded as a reduction to ProLogis balance sheet investment in the property fund that acquires the |
16
property. The proceeds that have not been recognized are eventually recognized when ProLogis adjusts its proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of the property fund, recognized under the equity method, to reflect lower depreciation expense within the property fund. The lower depreciation expense is the result of ProLogis reduced investment in the property fund and, accordingly, its lower basis in the contributed property. The proceeds not recognized are eventually recognized in results of operations by ProLogis if the property fund disposes of a property to a third party that was originally contributed to the property fund by ProLogis. ProLogis also recognizes gains associated with the previously deferred proceeds in amounts proportionate to reductions in its ownership interest in the property fund after the contribution is made. If a loss results when a property is contributed to a property fund, the entire loss is recognized. |
(11) | Includes costs associated with ProLogis investment in the property fund, ProLogis proportionate share of the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss recognized by ProLogis European Properties Fund (cumulative translation adjustments and hedge accounting adjustments) and ProLogis Japan Properties Fund (cumulative translation adjustments) and settlement payments or receipts associated with the interest rate swap agreements and related indemnification agreements with ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI through X (see Note 2). |
ProLogis, from time to time, enters into Special Limited Contribution Agreements (SLCA) in connection with certain of its contributions of properties to certain of its property funds. Under the SLCAs, ProLogis is obligated to make an additional capital contribution to the respective property fund under certain circumstances, the occurrence of which ProLogis believes to be remote. Specifically, ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution to the property fund if the property funds third-party lender, whose loans to the property fund are generally secured by the property funds assets and are non-recourse, does not receive a specified minimum level of debt repayment. However, the proceeds received by the third-party lender from the exhaustion of all of the assets of the property fund combined with the debt repayments received directly from the property fund will reduce ProLogis obligations under the SLCA on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ProLogis potential obligations under the respective SLCAs, as a percentage of the assets in the property funds, range from 2% to 28%. Accordingly, the value of the assets of the respective property funds would have to decline by between 98% and 72% before ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution. ProLogis believes that the likelihood of declines in the values of the assets that support the third-party loans of the magnitude necessary to require an additional capital contribution is remote, especially in light of the geographically diversified portfolios of properties owned by the property funds. Accordingly, these potential obligations have not been recognized as a liability by ProLogis at June 30, 2004 and ProLogis has assessed a nominal value to the guarantee undertaken through the SLCAs. The potential obligations under the SLCAs aggregate $402.4 million at June 30, 2004 and the combined book value of the assets in the property funds, before depreciation, that are subject to the provisions of the SLCAs was approximately $5.6 billion at June 30, 2004.
In August 2003, ProLogis entered into an indemnification agreement with ProLogis European Properties Fund whereby ProLogis would indemnify ProLogis European Properties Fund for certain future capital gains tax liabilities that could be incurred by ProLogis European Properties Fund. The indemnification agreement applies to properties that ProLogis contributes to ProLogis European Properties Fund after March 31, 2003. ProLogis contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund are structured as contributions of the shares of companies that own the real estate assets. Accordingly, the capital gains tax liability associated with the step up in the value, if any, of the underlying real estate assets is deferred and transferred to ProLogis European Properties Fund at contribution. ProLogis has indemnified ProLogis European Properties Fund to the extent that ProLogis European Properties Fund: (i) incurs capital gains tax as a result of a direct sale of the real estate asset, as opposed to a transaction in which the shares of the company owning the real estate asset are transferred or sold or (ii) is required to grant a discount to the buyer of shares under a share transfer transaction as a result of ProLogis European Properties Fund transferring the embedded capital gain tax liability to the buyer of the shares in the transaction. Further, if an initial public offering of units in ProLogis European Properties Fund is undertaken, ProLogis has indemnified the unit holders of ProLogis European Properties Fund in the event the unit holders are required to accept a discount to the value of their units because the capital gain tax liability is being transferred to the holders of units in the new public entity. The agreement limits the amount that is subject to ProLogis indemnification with respect to each property to 100% of the actual capital gains tax liability that is deferred and transferred by ProLogis to ProLogis European Properties Fund at the time of the initial contribution. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, ProLogis has recognized a
17
deferred income tax liability of $6.7 million associated with the contributions of 31 properties to ProLogis European Properties Fund during the period from April 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004.
In June 2004, ProLogis entered into an indemnification agreement with ProLogis North American Properties Fund V whereby ProLogis would indemnify ProLogis North American Properties Fund V for certain capital gains tax liabilities that could be incurred by ProLogis North American Properties Fund V in the future associated with the contribution of assets located in Mexico. ProLogis contributions of properties located in Mexico to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V are structured as contributions of the shares of companies that own the real estate assets. Accordingly, the Mexico capital gains tax liability associated with the step up in the value, if any, of the underlying real estate assets is deferred and transferred to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V at contribution. ProLogis has indemnified ProLogis North American Properties Fund V to the extent that ProLogis North American Properties Fund V incurs Mexico capital gains tax as a result of a sale of the real estate asset or an interest in the real estate asset. The agreement limits the amount that is subject to ProLogis indemnification with respect to each Mexico property to the lesser of (1) the actual Mexico capital gains tax paid upon the sale of the real estate assets or (2) 100% of the Mexico capital gains tax liability that is deferred and transferred by ProLogis to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V at the time of the initial contribution. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, ProLogis has recognized a deferred income tax liability of $3.9 million associated with the contributions of 20 properties to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V during the period from March 28, 2002 to June 30, 2004.
Summarized financial information of the property funds as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is presented below (in millions of U.S. dollars). The information presented is for the entire entity, not ProLogis proportionate share of the entity.

CDFS Business Investees
ProLogis has active investments in three joint ventures that perform some of ProLogis CDFS business activities in the United Kingdom (the CDFS Joint Ventures). ProLogis discontinued its participation and significantly reduced its investment in a fourth CDFS Joint Venture in November 2003. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the CDFS Joint Ventures is 50%. ProLogis combined investment in the CDFS Joint Ventures was $12.1 million
18
and $12.7 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The CDFS Joint Ventures are presented under the equity method.
The CDFS Joint Ventures in which ProLogis currently actively participates engage primarily in development activities (currently the holding of land positions aggregating 27 acres and land options for future development aggregating 365 acres). The CDFS Joint Venture in which ProLogis ceased its participation and significantly reduced its investment in November 2003 owned 11 operating properties at June 30, 2003. Based on its investment in this entity, ProLogis recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million of income under the equity method during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.
Other Investees
ProLogis has also invested in temperature-controlled distribution companies and in other companies that do not own or operate real estate but that provide ProLogis customers with access to logistics expertise and technology. Generally these investments were structured to allow ProLogis to continue to meet the REIT requirements of the Code. ProLogis investment in these companies were as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | CSI/Frigo LLC is a limited liability company that owns 100% of the voting common stock of TCL Holding, representing 5% of its net earnings or losses. 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. Through a participating note agreement between ProLogis and CSI/Frigo LLC, ProLogis can recognize 95% of the net earnings or losses of CSI/Frigo LLC. | |||
(2) | TCL Holding, through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns and operates a temperature-controlled distribution network in Europe, primarily in France. ProLogis directly owns 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of TCL Holding, representing a 95% interest in its net earnings or losses. ProLogis ownership in interests in TCL Holding and CSI/Frigo LLC, a holding company that has an ownership interest in TCL Holding, did not result in ProLogis having ownership of or control of the voting common stock or the voting membership interests of these entities. Therefore, these entities were not consolidated in ProLogis financial statements in 2003. However, upon adopting FIN 46R, ProLogis was required to consolidate these investments as of January 1, 2004. See Notes 1 and 5. | |||

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

Prior to the disposition transaction in October 2002, ProLogis recognized 99.23% of the net earnings or losses of ProLogis Logistics under the equity method through its direct and indirect ownership interests in CSI. |
5. Discontinued Operations:
Discontinued operations are defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 further provides that the assets and liabilities of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations be presented separately in the entitys balance sheet. The results of operations of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are also reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
20
Properties that ProLogis disposed of to third parties are considered to be discontinued operations unless ProLogis developed such properties under a pre-sale agreement. However, properties that ProLogis contributes to property funds in which ProLogis maintains an ownership interest and acts as manager are not considered to be discontinued operations due to ProLogis continuing involvement with the properties. Discontinued operations recognized directly by ProLogis unconsolidated investees, if any, are not required to be reflected separately from ProLogis investment balance or separately from the net earnings or losses of those entities of which ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share under the equity method.
During the period prior to the contribution or sale but after the completion of CDFS business activities (development, rehabilitation or repositioning), ProLogis includes CDFS business assets in its operating portfolio and as a part of the property operations segment. See Note 11. These assets do not generally meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale or as discontinued operations.
As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, ProLogis reported discontinued operations as follows:
| Assets held for sale: Represents the operations in France of ProLogis temperature-controlled distribution investee, TCL Holding. See Notes 1 and 4. | |||
| Assets disposed of in 2004: During the six months ended June 30, 2004, ProLogis disposed of 12 properties to third parties (five properties in the second quarter of 2004) that had not been developed under pre-sale agreements. ProLogis has reported the operations of these properties and the net gains or losses resulting from their dispositions as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Accordingly, the operations of these properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 have been reclassified and are presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. |
Assets Held For Sale
The net assets of TCL Holdings operations in France that are classified as held for sale consisted of the following at June 30, 2004 (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

TCL Holdings operations in France that are classified as held for sale generated net income of $3.5 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. ProLogis began consolidating its investments in TCL Holding as of January 1, 2004 (see Notes 1 and 4). Certain of these operations were classified as held for sale during portions of 2003. However, because ProLogis investments in TCL Holding were presented under the equity method during 2003, it was not required to reflect the portion of its investments in TCL Holding related to the French operations that were held for sale or the portion of its earnings recognized under the equity method from TCL Holding attributable to the French operations that were held for sale separately as discontinued operations in 2003.
21
Assets Disposed of in 2004
ProLogis recognized net gains of $1.7 million and $6.6 million, primarily from the disposition of the 5 and 12 properties that meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Of the 12 properties disposed of during 2004, six properties were CDFS business assets. These properties generated an aggregate net gain of $9.5 million from aggregate net disposition proceeds of $113.6 million. The remaining six properties disposed of in 2004 were held in ProLogis property operations segment. The dispositions of these properties generated an aggregate net loss of $1.1 million. Also included in the net loss recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was a loss of $1.7 million representing an adjustment to the net gain recognized upon the sale of TCL Holdings operating assets in the United Kingdom in December 2003.
The operating amounts attributable to the 12 properties that are presented as discontinued operations (other than the net gain or loss recognized upon disposition) are as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

6. Borrowings:
Senior Notes
On April 13, 2004, ProLogis issued 350.0 million euro of senior notes (the currency equivalent of approximately $421.6 million as of June 30, 2004) that are registered on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Euro Notes). The Euro Notes will mature in April 2011 and bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 4.375% per annum (an effective interest rate of 4.414% per annum) to be paid on an annual basis beginning in April 2005. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Euro Notes were 347.8 million euro. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay 76.8 million euro of borrowings under one of ProLogis revolving lines of credit. The remaining cash (approximately $329.8 million) was repatriated to the United States. As of June 30, 2004, the carrying balance of the Euro Notes, net of applicable original issue discount, was $420.6 million.
ProLogis has issued senior notes that bear interest at fixed rates to be paid on a semi-annual basis. At June 30, 2004, ProLogis had $1.34 billion of publicly issued senior notes (the Public Notes) and $160.0 million of senior notes issued pursuant to a private placement (the Private Placement Notes) (collectively the Notes) outstanding. The holders of the Euro Notes and the Notes together with various other creditors of ProLogis, share in the benefits of the pledge of intercompany debt obligations by certain subsidiaries of ProLogis. However, the Euro Notes and the Notes are effectively subordinated in certain respects to: (i) any debt of ProLogis secured by a lien on its real property, to the extent of the value of such real property; (ii) debt of certain subsidiaries of ProLogis that can borrow under ProLogis 45.0 billion yen revolving line of credit agented by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation; (iii) borrowings under ProLogis 25.0 million pound sterling revolving line of credit provided by the Royal Bank of Scotland plc; and (iv) debt of certain other subsidiaries of ProLogis that due to restrictions under applicable law or tax considerations, or by agreement, are not required to pledge assets to secure debt of ProLogis. In addition, as a result of the termination of a guaranty by certain subsidiaries that was temporarily in place with respect to the Public Notes, the Public Notes are effectively subordinated in certain respects to any debt of ProLogis that has the benefit of a guaranty by one or more subsidiaries of ProLogis.
Long-Term Debt Maturities
The approximate principal payments on ProLogis senior notes, secured debt and assessment bonds outstanding at June 30, 2004 that are due during the remainder of 2004, during the other years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2008 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

7. Shareholders Equity:
Common Shares
ProLogis had 181,695,627 and 180,182,615 Common Shares outstanding at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
ProLogis issues Common Shares under various Common Share Plans:
| 1999 Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, amended in November 2002 (the 1999 Common Share Plan): Allows holders of Common Shares to automatically reinvest Common Share distributions and certain holders and persons who are not holders of Common Shares to purchase a limited number of additional Common Shares by making optional cash payments, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. Common Shares that are acquired under the 1999 Common Share Plan, either through reinvestment of distributions or through optional cash payments, are acquired at a price ranging from 98% to 100% of the market price of such Common Shares, as determined by ProLogis. ProLogis generated net proceeds of $11.9 million from the issuance of 405,000 Common Shares during the six months ended June 30, 2004 under the 1999 Common Share Plan. | |||
| Long-term incentive plan (the Incentive Plan) and Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the Outside Trustees Plan): Certain employees and outside members of the Board of Trustees (the Board) participate in these plans which provide compensation, generally in the form of Common Shares. Under the Incentive Plan and the Outside Trustees Plan, the exercise of share options and other share awards generated net proceeds of $16.0 million and resulted in the issuance of 1,074,000 Common Shares during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Also in 2004, certain employees who earned share awards under the Incentive Plan received cash payments of $0.6 million in lieu of Common Shares. | |||
| ProLogis Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the Employee Share Plan): Employees of ProLogis and its participating entities may purchase Common Shares, through payroll deductions only, at a discounted price of 85% of the market price of the Common Shares, subject to certain restrictions. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, 30,000 Common Shares were purchased under the Employee Share Plan generating net proceeds of $0.8 million. |
In February 2004, ProLogis issued 5,000 Common Shares upon exchange of limited partnership units in one of ProLogis majority-owned and controlled real estate partnerships.
Preferred Shares
At June 30, 2004, ProLogis had three series of preferred shares of beneficial interest (Preferred Shares) outstanding (Series C Preferred Shares, Series F Preferred Shares and Series G Preferred Shares). Holders of each series of Preferred Shares outstanding have, subject to certain conditions, limited voting rights and all holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends based upon each series respective liquidation preference. Such dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December. Dividends
23
on Preferred Shares are payable when, and if, they have been declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. After the respective redemption dates, each series of Preferred Shares can be redeemed at ProLogis option. The cash redemption price (other than the portion consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) with respect to Series C Preferred Shares is payable solely out of the cumulative sales proceeds of other capital shares of ProLogis, which may include shares of other series of Preferred Shares. With respect to the payment of dividends, each series of Preferred Shares ranks on parity with ProLogis other series of Preferred Shares.
ProLogis Preferred Shares outstanding at June 30, 2004 are summarized as follows (amounts in U.S. dollars as applicable):

The total redemption value (including accrued dividends) was $125.3 million. ProLogis recognized a charge of $4.2 million representing the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of the Series D Preferred Shares redeemed.
8. Distributions and Dividends:
Common Share Distributions
In December 2003, the Board announced a projected increase in the annual distribution level for 2004 ($1.46 per Common Share in 2004 as compared to $1.44 per Common Share in 2003). The payment of Common Share distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is dependent upon ProLogis financial condition and operating results, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year. Distributions of $0.365 per Common Share for both the first and second quarters of 2004 were paid on February 27, 2004 and May 28, 2004, respectively, to holders of Common Shares on February 13, 2004 and May 14, 2004, respectively.
Preferred Share Dividends
The annual dividends on ProLogis Preferred Shares are $4.27 per share (Series C) and $1.6875 per share (Series F and Series G). On March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, ProLogis paid quarterly dividends of $1.0675 per share (Series C) and $0.421875 per share (Series F and Series G).
Pursuant to the terms of its Preferred Shares, ProLogis is restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the then-current dividend period with respect to the Preferred Shares.

10. Long-Term Compensation:
ProLogis recognizes the costs of its share-based compensation plans under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, that allow ProLogis to continue to account for these plans using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of the share options granted equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying share on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. SFAS No. 123 requires that the fair value of the share options granted be recognized as compensation expense, regardless of the relationship of the exercise price to the market price. ProLogis grants share options to employees and members of its Board that have an exercise price that is equal to the average of the high and low market prices on the day the options are granted. Therefore, no compensation expense is recognized. ProLogis recognizes compensation expense if the terms of the share options or other instruments awarded are changed in such a manner that the variable accounting rules as provided in APB No. 25 become applicable.
Had ProLogis recognized compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 using an option valuation model as provided in SFAS No. 123, its net earnings attributable to Common Shares and net earnings attributable to Common Shares per share for these periods would have changed as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts):

11. Business Segments:
ProLogis has two reportable business segments:
| Property operations Representing the long-term ownership, management and leasing of industrial distribution properties in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan (either directly or through investments in unconsolidated property funds in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager). Each operating property and each investment in a property fund is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. | |||
| CDFS business representing the development, acquisition and rehabilitation and/or acquisition and repositioning of industrial distribution properties in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan with the intent to contribute the properties to unconsolidated property funds in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager or to sell the developed properties to third parties. Additionally, ProLogis earns fees for development activities on behalf of customers or third parties and realizes profits from the sales of land parcels when its development plans no longer include these parcels. The separate activities in this segment are considered to be individual operating segments having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. |
The assets of the CDFS business segment generally include properties under development and land held for development. During the period between the completion of development, rehabilitation or repositioning of a property and the date the property is contributed to a property fund or sold to a third party, the property and its associated rental income and rental expenses are included in the property operations segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss is part of the net operating income of the CDFS business segment. Certain sales to third parties are presented as discontinued operations. See Note 5.
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segments income from external customers to ProLogis total revenues; (ii) each reportable business segments net operating income from external customers to ProLogis net earnings before minority interest; and (iii) each reportable business segments assets to ProLogis total

assets. ProLogis chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of ProLogis revenues, earnings before minority interest and total assets are allocated to each reportable business segments revenues, net operating income and assets. All other items are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars:

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

(1) | The foreign currency put option contracts are paid in full at execution and are related to ProLogis operations in Europe and Japan. The put option contracts provide ProLogis with the option to exchange euro, pound sterling or yen for U.S. dollars at a fixed exchange rate such that, if the euro, pound sterling or yen were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar to predetermined levels as set by the contracts, ProLogis could exercise its options and mitigate its foreign currency exchange losses. The notional amounts of the put option contracts outstanding at June 30, 2004 represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of 18.8 million euro and 7.3 million pound sterling. The outstanding contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and were marked-to-market through results of operations at both June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. | |
(2) | The foreign currency forward swap contracts were designated as net investment hedges of certain of ProLogis investments in Europe that allowed ProLogis to sell euro at a fixed exchange rate to the U.S. dollar. The contracts were entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the Euro Notes (see Note 6). The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was 97.5 million euro the currency equivalent of approximately $119.2 million at settlement). The contracts were settled in April 2004 when the Euro Notes were issued. These contracts qualified for hedge accounting treatment. ProLogis recognized the total increase in value of the contracts of $1.7 million in other comprehensive income in shareholders equity upon settlement. | |
(3) | In 2003 and 2004, ProLogis entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of 150.0 million euro (the currency equivalent of approximately $185.6 million at settlement) related to the anticipated issuance of the Euro Notes (see Note 6). The contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, allowed ProLogis to fix a portion of the interest rate associated with the seven-year Euro Notes that were issued in April 2004. These contracts qualified for hedge accounting treatment. ProLogis recognized a total decrease in value of $5.6 million in other comprehensive income in shareholders equity upon settlement of the contracts and no ineffectiveness was recognized. Amounts reported in other comprehensive income related to these derivative contracts are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Euro Notes. As of June 30, 2004, $0.2 million of expense had been reclassified. |
14. Commitments and Contingencies:
Environmental Matters
All of the properties acquired by ProLogis were subjected to environmental reviews by either ProLogis or by the predecessor owners. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability (including any asbestos related liability) that ProLogis believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, ProLogis is not currently aware of any environmental liability (including any asbestos related liability) that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004, and the related consolidated condensed statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated condensed financial statements are the responsibility of ProLogis management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 3, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report refers to our audit of the adjustments that were applied to revise the 2001 consolidated financial statements, as more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements other than with respect to such adjustments. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

The net operating income of ProLogis property operations segment consists of: (i) rental income and rental expenses from the operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis; (ii) income recognized by ProLogis under the equity method from its investments in the property funds; (iii) fees and other income earned by ProLogis for services performed on behalf of the property funds, primarily property management and asset management services; and (iv) interest earned on advances to the property funds, if any. The net operating income generated by operating properties that were developed or acquired in the CDFS business segment are included in the property operations segment during the interim period that these properties are included in the property operations segment, generally from the date of completion or acquisition through the date the properties are contributed or sold. See Note 11 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
The amounts recognized under the equity method represent ProLogis proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of each property fund based on its ownership interest in the property fund for the period. The net earnings or losses of the property funds include the following income and expense items, in addition to rental income and rental expenses: (i) interest income and interest expense; (ii) depreciation and amortization expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; (iv) income taxes; and (v) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, with respect to ProLogis European Properties Fund. See Notes 4 and 11 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.

(1) | Amounts do not include rental income and expenses associated with 12 properties that are presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Item 1. These amounts are: |
| Rental income of $285,000 for 2004 and $454,000 for 2003 and | |||
| Rental expenses of $235,000 for 2004 and $255,000 for 2003. |
(2) | The number and composition of operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis throughout the periods presented impact rental income for each period. Rental income for the six months in 2004 includes $1.4 million of termination and renegotiation fees as compared to similar fees recognized for the same period in 2003 of $4.2 million. In certain leasing situations, ProLogis finds it advantageous to negotiate lease terminations with a customer, particularly when the customer is experiencing financial difficulties or when ProLogis believes that it can re-lease the space at rates that, when combined with the termination fee, provide a total return to ProLogis in excess of what was being earned under the original lease terms. ProLogis cannot predict the levels of such fees that will be earned in the future or whether ProLogis will be successful in re-leasing, in a timely manner, the vacant space associated with the lease terminations. | |||
Rental expense recoveries from customers, a component of rental income, were $52.3 million for the six months in 2004 and $52.0 million for the six months in 2003. Total rental expense recoveries were 72.6% of total rental expenses for both six-month periods in 2004 and 2003, excluding discontinued operations. | ||||
Rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees and rental expense recoveries, was $222.0 million for the six months in 2004 and $222.7 million for the same period in 2003. | ||||
(3) | The number and composition of operating properties that are directly owned by ProLogis throughout the periods presented impact rental expenses for each period. Rental expenses are presented before any recoveries from customers, which are a component of rental income. Rental expenses as a percentage of rental income, before rental expense recoveries and termination and renegotiation fees, were 32.5% for the six months in 2004 as compared to 32.2% for the six months in 2003. | |||
(4) | The income from property funds includes fees earned by ProLogis for providing services to the property funds of $23.1 million for the six months in 2004 and $21.4 million for the six months in 2003. Upon completion of the Keystone Acquisition, ProLogis will begin earning fees for property and asset management services provided to ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI through X associated with |
35
an additional 22.5 million square feet of properties. See Note 2 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. | ||||
(5) | ProLogis ownership interest in each property fund was the same for both periods presented and each of the property funds was in operation with substantially the same portfolio of properties for both periods presented. ProLogis ownership interests are: ProLogis California (50%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund I (41.3%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund II (20%); ProLogis North American Properties Fund III (20%); and ProLogis North American Properties Fund IV (20%). With respect to each property fund, fluctuations in the amount that ProLogis recognizes under the equity method are generally due to occupancy levels and the amount of termination and renegotiation fees earned by the property fund. Additionally, ProLogis fees earned from services provided to the property funds, in addition to property management services, can fluctuate from period to period. ProLogis share of the net earnings of ProLogis California for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $0.7 million of net gains from the dispositions of properties. | |||
(6) | ProLogis North American Properties Fund V has continued to acquire properties, generally from ProLogis, since it began operations in March 2002. At June 30, 2003, this property fund owned 81 properties aggregating 18.2 million square feet and, at June 30, 2004, it owned 112 properties aggregating 25.3 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V was 11.4% at June 30, 2004 and 14.1% at June 30, 2003. During the six months in 2004 and 2003, ProLogis earned $0.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of fees from ProLogis North American Properties Fund V for services other than property and asset management. | |||
(7) | ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI through X were each formed on May 3, 2004. Each entity began operations on June 30, 2004. Upon completion of the Keystone Acquisition, ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI through X collectively acquired an additional 22.5 million square feet of properties. See Notes 2 and 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. | |||
(8) | ProLogis European Properties Fund has continued to acquire properties, generally from ProLogis, since it began operations in September 1999. At June 30, 2003, this property fund owned 205 properties aggregating 41.1 million square feet and, at June 30, 2004, it owned 215 properties aggregating 43.6 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis European Properties Fund was 22.5% at June 30, 2004 and 30.3% at June 30, 2003. | |||
Amounts presented for ProLogis European Properties Fund include ProLogis proportionate share of net foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized by the property fund (net losses of $0.3 million and $7.8 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively). Excluding these net foreign currency exchange losses, ProLogis proportionate share of the net earnings of ProLogis European Properties Fund would be $18.6 million and $19.9 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the income recognized by ProLogis from its ownership in this property fund, excluding net foreign currency exchange losses, is primarily the result of ProLogis lower ownership interest in 2004 from the 2003 level and higher interest expense which offset the positive impact of the higher average foreign currency exchange rate at which ProLogis translated the 2004 net earnings of the ProLogis European Properties Fund to U.S. dollars and the larger number of properties owned in 2004. | ||||
(9) | At June 30, 2004, ProLogis Japan Properties Fund owned seven properties aggregating 2.5 million square feet (five of these properties were contributed to the property fund by ProLogis). At June 30, 2003, this property fund owned two properties aggregating 0.5 million square feet. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis Japan Properties Fund was 20% at both June 30, 2004 and 2003. |
The stabilized operating properties owned by ProLogis and the property funds were 91.58% leased at June 30, 2004, 90.21% leased at December 31, 2003 and 91.42% leased at June 30, 2003. A property enters the stabilized pool at the earlier of 12 months or when it becomes substantially leased, which is defined by ProLogis generally as 93%. Therefore, ProLogis stabilized properties are those properties where the capital improvements, repositioning
36
efforts, new management and new marketing programs for acquisitions or the marketing programs in the case of newly developed properties, have been completed and in effect for a sufficient period of time.
Changes in economic conditions will generally impact customer leasing decisions and absorption of new distribution properties. Weakening economic conditions in the United States and certain Western European countries and certain geopolitical concerns and uncertainties, primarily in Europe, negatively impacted ProLogis stabilized occupancy levels in the last half of 2002 (91.24% at December 31, 2002 as compared to 93.09% at December 31, 2001). With respect to Japan, ProLogis has not observed similar trends in economic conditions and continues to experience consistent demand for distribution space in its properties. ProLogis observed improvements in North American absorption and occupancy levels in the second quarter of 2004. Also in the second quarter of 2004, ProLogis experienced improvements in leasing activity in Europe, primarily with respect to its existing inventory of CDFS business segment properties that were held in the property operations segment prior to being contributed or sold.
ProLogis does not expect economic conditions to change significantly in 2004 even though there have been some positive trends in occupancies in North America and Europe. While ProLogis believes that occupancies may continue to increase during the last half of 2004, it does not believe that occupancies will improve to the late 2001 levels during 2004. ProLogis continues to believe that shifts in distribution patterns of its customers in Europe and Japan and their needs to reduce their distribution costs have been, and will continue to be, key drivers of leasing decisions. ProLogis believes that the diversification of its global operating platform and the ProLogis Operating System® have somewhat mitigated the effects of market occupancy decreases.
Rental rates during the six months ended June 30, 2004 for both new and renewed leases for previously leased space (24.3 million square feet) for all properties including those owned by the property funds decreased by 6.3% as compared to a decrease in rental rates of 2.7% during the same period in 2003 for similar transactions. ProLogis believes that the negative rental rate growth experienced in 2004 continues to be the result of economic conditions that have depressed current market rents such that they are generally below the rents that Prologis was earning on expiring leases.
ProLogis management evaluates the operating performance of its property operations segment, its management personnel and individual markets using a same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. ProLogis includes properties owned directly and properties owned by its property funds in the same store analysis. Accordingly, ProLogis defines its same store portfolio of operating properties for each quarter as those properties that have been in operation throughout the full quarter in both the current year and the prior year. When a property is disposed of to a third party it will be removed from the population for the current quarter and the corresponding quarter of the prior year only. ProLogis same store portfolio for the first and second quarters of 2004 included 207.2 million and 206.7 million square feet, respectively. Net operating income, defined for the same store analysis as rental income, excluding termination and renegotiation fees, less rental expenses, generated by the same store portfolio decreased by 0.35% for the six-month period in 2004 from the same period in 2003. For the six-month period in 2003, the net operating income of the same store portfolio applicable to that period increased by 0.93% over the comparable 2002 period. The same store portfolio also experienced negative rent growth for the six months ended June 30, 2004. ProLogis believes that the factors that are resulting in decreases in net operating income and negative rental rate growth in the same store portfolio are the same as for its total portfolio. The percentage change presented is the weighted average of the measure computed separately for ProLogis and each of the property funds with the weighting based on each entitys proportionate share of the combined component on which the change is computed. In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, the percentage change computation removes the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by computing each propertys components in that propertys functional currency.
Rental income computed under GAAP applicable to the properties included in the same store portfolio is adjusted to remove the net termination and renegotiation fees recognized in each period. Net termination and renegotiation fees excluded from rental income were $1.4 million for directly owned properties and $1.1 million for properties owned by the property funds for the 2004 period and $2.4 million for directly owned properties and $5.0 million for properties owned by the property funds for the 2003 period. Net termination and renegotiation fees
37
represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate their lease, offset by that customers rent leveling asset that has been previously recognized under GAAP, if any. Removing the net termination fees from the same store calculation of rental income allows ProLogis management to evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental income without regard to items that are not indicative of the propertys recurring operating performance. Customer terminations are negotiated under specific circumstances and are not subject to specific provisions or rights allowed under the lease agreements.
In computing the percentage change in rental expenses, the rental expenses applicable to the properties in the same store portfolio include property management expenses for ProLogis directly owned properties. These expenses are based on the property management fee that is provided for in the individual agreements under which ProLogis wholly owned management company provides property management services to each property (generally the fee is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the management fee income earned by the management company and the management fee expense recognized by the properties are eliminated and the direct costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of ProLogis rental expenses reported under GAAP.
CDFS Business
Net operating income from ProLogis CDFS business segment consists primarily of: (i) the gains and losses from the contributions and sales of developed properties and from the contributions of properties that were acquired with the intent to contribute the properties to a property fund, including properties that have been rehabilitated and/or repositioned; (ii) gains and losses from the dispositions of land parcels; and (iii) development management fees earned by ProLogis for services provided to third parties.
Income from the CDFS business segment is dependent on ProLogis ability to develop and timely lease properties, or to acquire properties that eventually can be contributed to property funds or sold to third parties, generating profits to ProLogis, and ProLogis success in raising private capital that can be used to acquire its properties, generally accomplished through the formation of property funds, but also from other sources. For the six months in 2004, ProLogis net operating income in this segment increased from the same period in 2003 by $20.4 million (an increase of $29.9 million when considering the gains from dispositions of CDFS business properties that are presented as discontinued operations). However, if the contingent proceeds recognized in 2004 related to a 2003 contribution are excluded, the net operating income of this segment (including discontinued operations) increased by $25.2 million.
The increase in the gains recognized in 2004 from 2003 reflect a higher volume of transactions (based on cost), a small increase in total gross margins realized and increases in the foreign currency exchange rate that is used to translate gains recognized in Europe and Asia to U.S. dollars in 2004. ProLogis attributes the volume of transactions in 2004 to improved leasing activity for CDFS business properties, mostly in Europe, and also to its ability to raise private capital ($90.4 million of third party capital raised in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of forming five new property funds). ProLogis believes that the increase in leasing activity results from improvements in economic conditions that have positively impacted its customers decision-making processes with respect to changes in their distribution networks. There can be no assurance that ProLogis will be able to maintain or increase the current level of net operating income in this segment. ProLogis cannot predict the effects that any continuing economic and other uncertainties will have on its ability to lease its properties, or the length of time that such uncertainties will continue. If ProLogis is unable to timely lease its completed developments and repositioned acquisitions, it will be unable to contribute these properties to property funds or otherwise dispose of the properties and would be unable to recognize profits from its development and certain acquisition activities in the anticipated reporting period.

(1) | Represents the net gains from the dispositions of land parcels and contributions and sales of properties as follows: |
| 2004: 95 acres; 8.8 million square feet; and | |||
| 2003: 142 acres; 9.6 million square feet. |
(2) | A contribution to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund in 2003 provided for an additional $5.9 million of proceeds, the receipt of which was contingent on the satisfactory performance of certain activities by ProLogis. These activities were completed in 2004. The receipt of these proceeds resulted in the recognition of an additional gain in 2004 of $4.7 million, after deferral. | |||
(3) | When ProLogis contributes a property to a property fund in which it has an ownership interest, ProLogis does not recognize a portion of the proceeds in its computation of the gain resulting from the contribution. The amount of the proceeds that cannot be recognized is determined based on ProLogis continuing ownership interest in the contributed property that arises due to ProLogis ownership interest in the property fund that acquires the property. ProLogis defers this portion of the proceeds by recognizing a reduction to its balance sheet investment in the respective property fund. ProLogis adjusts its proportionate share of the net earnings or loss that it recognizes under the equity method from the property fund in later periods to reflect the property funds depreciation expense as if the depreciation expense was computed on ProLogis lower basis in the contributed property rather than on the property funds basis in the contributed property. If a loss results when a property is contributed to a property fund, the entire loss is recognized. | |||
When a property that ProLogis originally contributed to a property fund is disposed of to a third party, ProLogis recognizes the net amount of the proceeds that it had previously deferred in results of operations in the period that the disposition to the third party occurs. Further, during periods when ProLogis ownership interest in a property fund decreases, ProLogis will recognize gains to the extent that previously deferred proceeds are recognized to coincide with ProLogis new ownership interest in the property fund. ProLogis ownership interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V decreased at the end of June 2004. Accordingly, previously deferred proceeds of $3.3 million were recognized as gains in the six months ended June 30, 2004 (all in the second quarter). Based on decreases in ProLogis ownership interests in certain property funds during the first six months in 2003, ProLogis recognized gains of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 ($0.3 million in the second quarter). | ||||
(4) | Represents the income that ProLogis recognizes under the equity method from the CDFS Joint Ventures. ProLogis discontinued its participation and significantly reduced its investment in a CDFS Joint Venture in November 2003. The CDFS Joint Ventures in which ProLogis currently actively participates engage |
39
primarily in development activities (currently the holding of land positions for future development) and do not own any operating properties. The CDFS Joint Venture in which ProLogis ceased its participation and significantly reduced its investment in November 2003 owned 11 operating properties at June 30, 2003. ProLogis ownership interest in each of the CDFS Joint Ventures is 50%. | ||||
(5) | Includes land holding costs of $1.5 million and $1.3 million and the write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs related to potential CDFS business segment projects of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. | |||
(6) | Six CDFS business properties aggregating 1.2 million square feet that were sold to third parties in 2004 met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations in 2004. See Note 5 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. |
ProLogis continues to monitor leasing activity and general economic conditions in the United States as it pertains to its CDFS business segment operations with the expectation that an economic recovery, early signs of which have been observed, could provide increased CDFS business opportunities to ProLogis as companies continue optimizing their supply chains. In Europe, ProLogis believes that the continued demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties, improvement in economic conditions and lessening of geopolitical concerns have resulted, and could continue to result, in the acceleration of leasing decisions that provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment. Further, ProLogis believes its development activities will not be significantly affected by land entitlement constraints that currently exist in Europe because it has almost 1,800 acres of land owned or controlled in Europe at June 30, 2004 and its personnel are experienced in the land entitlement process. As in Europe, ProLogis believes that demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties in Japan will continue to provide opportunities for ProLogis in the CDFS business segment. ProLogis has not observed similar trends in Japan with respect to economic and other uncertainties. In Japan, the CDFS business opportunities available to ProLogis will be limited if ProLogis is unable to acquire adequate land parcels for development.
Other Items
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense was $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2003. Included in the expense recognized for 2004 are $0.7 million of expenses associated with TCL Holding. TCL Holding is presented on a consolidated basis only in 2004. See Notes 1 and 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1. General and administrative expense is primarily a function of the various business initiatives being undertaken in a given period and can vary from period to period based on these initiatives. Increases in the first six months of 2004 over the same period in 2003 are the result of expanded operations in Japan and China, additional stock compensation costs and increases in the foreign currency exchange rates that are used to translate expenses incurred in Europe and Asia to U.S. dollars.
Relocation Expenses
ProLogis is relocating its corporate accounting and information technology functions from El Paso, Texas to Denver, Colorado. This process, which began in June 2004, is expected to occur over a period of 9 to 12 months. As of June 30, 2004, ProLogis recognized relocation expenses of $0.7 million, including $0.4 million of severance-related employee costs and $0.3 million of additional depreciation associated with the non-real estate assets located in El Paso. ProLogis expects the total cost of this relocation project to be between $8.0 million and $12.0 million.
Income (Loss) from Other Unconsolidated Investees
Amounts recognized by ProLogis under the equity method from its investments in unconsolidated investees that do not own and operate real estate assets were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars). For a discussion of these unconsolidated investees, see Notes 4 and 11 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.

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

(1) | The decrease in gross interest expense is due to lower average interest rates in 2004, which offset the higher weighted average borrowing levels during 2004. | |||
(2) | ProLogis gross interest expense will increase to the extent that ProLogis funds its cash requirements of the Keystone Acquisition through debt, as is anticipated. | |||
(3) | The decrease in capitalized interest results from ProLogis lower average cost of debt in 2004, which offsets the effect of an increase in the volume of qualifying development activities in 2004 from 2003 levels. |
Gains Recognized on Dispositions of Non-CDFS Business Assets, Net
From time to time, ProLogis has contributed or sold properties that have been held and used in the property operations segment. Certain sales to third parties will occur when a property is determined to have become non-strategic. Non-strategic properties are assets located in markets or submarkets that are no longer considered to be target markets or they can be assets that were acquired as part of previous portfolio acquisitions that are not consistent with ProLogis core portfolio based on the assets size or configuration. Also, ProLogis contributes properties to property funds that have been held for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment to complement the portfolio of CDFS business properties that are contributed to the property funds. In 2004, such properties that were sold to third parties have been classified as discontinued operations. The net gains or losses recognized from the contributions of properties that have been held and used in the property operations segment to a property fund are included in income from continuing operations due to ProLogis continuing involvement with the properties. In 2003, ProLogis did not classify any of its sales or contributions of properties that have been held and used in the property operations segment as
41
discontinued operations, as the effect of such reclassification would not have had a material effect on ProLogis financial statements.
Contributions of long-term investment properties for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and sales and contributions of long-term investment properties during the six months ended June 30, 2003 were as follows:
| 2004: 0.4 million square feet of properties generating net proceeds of $17.6 million and an aggregate net gain of $6.1 million (all contributed to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V in the second quarter of 2004); and | |||
| 2003: 0.5 million square feet of properties generating net proceeds of $45.1 million and an aggregate net gain of $2.5 million (a $3.2 million net gain in the first quarter of 2003 and a $0.7 million net loss in the second quarter of 2003). |
Included in the net gain recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is $1.1 million ($1.0 million in the first quarter and $0.1 million in the second quarter) related to previous sales transactions. Adjustments to previously recognized gains or losses generally occur upon the settlement of contractual issues or due to changes in the original estimates of costs related to previous transactions.
Gain on Partial Disposition of Investment in Property Fund
ProLogis recognized a gain of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 resulting from its exchange of a portion of its investment in ProLogis-Macquarie Fund into shares of MPR, the listed property trust in Australia that has an effective ownership interest in the ProLogis-Macquarie Fund of 86% at June 30, 2004. Upon receipt of the shares in MPR, ProLogis sold them in the public market, generating net proceeds of $13.2 million. See Note 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Expenses/Losses), Net
ProLogis and certain of its foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt that is not denominated in that entitys functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. To mitigate its foreign currency exchange exposure, ProLogis borrows in the functional currency of the borrowing entity when possible. Certain of ProLogis intercompany debt 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. Additionally, ProLogis utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage certain of its foreign currency exchange risks, primarily put option contracts with notional amounts corresponding to ProLogis projected net income from its operations in Europe and Japan. ProLogis recognizes the expense associated with these contracts in results of operation upon settlement, primarily the premium associated with the contract. Interim period mark-to-market adjustments are also recognized. See Note 13 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Generally, the amount of net foreign currency exchange gains or losses recognized in results of operations is a function of movements in exchange rates, the levels of intercompany and third party debt outstanding and the currency in which such debt is denominated as compared to the functional currency of the entities that are parties to the debt agreements. The net foreign currency exchange amounts recognized in ProLogis results of operations were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) | At the time certain debt balances are settled, remeasurement gains or losses that have been recognized in results of operations as unrealized are reversed and the cumulative foreign currency exchange gain or loss realized with respect to the settled balance is recognized in results of operations as a realized gain or loss in the period that the settlement occurs. | |
(2) | ProLogis enters into foreign currency put option contracts related to its operations in Europe and Japan. These put option contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, the cost of the contract is capitalized at the contracts inception and is marked-to-market by ProLogis as of the end of each subsequent reporting period. Upon expiration of the contract, the mark-to-market adjustment is reversed, the total cost of the contract is expensed and any proceeds received are recognized as a gain. |
Income Taxes
ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and is not generally required to pay federal income taxes if it meets the REIT requirements of the Code. ProLogis consolidated subsidiaries in the United States that are not qualified REIT subsidiaries for tax purposes are subject to federal income taxes, and ProLogis is taxed in certain states in which it operates. Also, the foreign countries where ProLogis has operations do not necessarily recognize REITs under their respective tax laws. Accordingly, ProLogis recognizes income taxes for these jurisdictions in accordance with GAAP, as necessary.
Current income tax expense was $6.0 million and $2.6 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. ProLogis recognized deferred income tax expense of $9.6 million and $5.5 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Current income tax expense is generally a function of the level of income recognized by ProLogis taxable subsidiaries operating in the CDFS business segment in addition to state income taxes and taxes incurred in foreign jurisdictions. The deferred income tax component of total income taxes is a function of the periods temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for book purposes) and the utilization of tax net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred tax assets. Upon execution of certain indemnification agreements, ProLogis began recognizing deferred income tax liabilities associated with certain contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund (beginning in the third quarter of 2003) and ProLogis North American Properties Fund V (beginning in the second quarter of 2004). Under these indemnification agreements, ProLogis will continue to recognize a deferred income tax liability related to its future contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund and ProLogis North American Properties Fund V (contributions of properties located in Mexico only). Of the total deferred income tax expense recognized during the first six months of 2004, $6.9 million is related to the indemnification agreements. See Note 4 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations represent a component of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing
43
involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The assets and liabilities of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are presented separately in the balance sheet and the results of operations of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are reported as discontinued operations in the statement of earnings. See Note 5 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.
As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, ProLogis has reported discontinued operations as follows:
| Assets held for sale: TCL Holdings operations in France were classified as held for sale during 2003. However, because ProLogis investments in TCL Holding were presented under the equity method in 2003, ProLogis was not required to reflect the portion of the earnings of TCL Holding recognized under the equity method attributable to the French operations that are held for sale separately as discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the French operations that are held for sale generated net earnings of $6.8 million. | |||
| Assets disposed of in 2004: During the six months ended June 30, 2004, ProLogis disposed of 12 properties to third parties that had not been developed under pre-sale agreements. ProLogis has reported the operations of these properties and the net gains or losses resulting from their dispositions as discontinued operations. The dispositions of six CDFS business properties generated an aggregate net gain of $9.5 million (seeCDFS Business) and the dispositions of six properties that were held and used in the property operations segment generated an aggregate net loss of $1.1 million. The operations of these properties have been presented as discontinued operations in ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Item 1 for both 2004 and 2003. The amounts attributable to these properties were a loss of $95,000 for the six-month period in 2004 and a gain of $102,000 for the six-month period in 2003. Also included in the net loss recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was a loss of $1.7 million representing an adjustment to the net gain recognized upon the sale of TCL Holdings operating assets in the United Kingdom in December 2003. |
Excess of Redemption Value over Carrying Value of Preferred Shares Redeemed
ProLogis recognized a charge to net earnings of $4.2 million, which represents the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of the remaining Series D Preferred Shares that were redeemed in January 2004. After this redemption, all of ProLogis series of Preferred Shares that have met their optional redemption date have been redeemed. The next optional redemption date for a series of Preferred Shares is in 2008.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
The changes in net earnings attributable to Common Shares and its components for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003 are similar to the changes for the six-month periods ended on the same dates. Further, the three-month period changes are attributable to the same reasons discussed except as specifically discussed under Gains Recognized on Dispositions of Non-CDFS Business Assets, Net and Income Taxes.
Environmental Matters
ProLogis has not experienced any environmental condition associated with its properties which materially adversely affected its results of operations or financial position, nor is ProLogis aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. See Risk Factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
ProLogis considers its liquidity and its ability to generate cash from its operating activities, the contributions and sales of properties and other financing sources to be adequate and expects it to continue to be adequate to meet its
44
anticipated future development, acquisition, operating and debt service needs, as well as its shareholder distribution requirements.
The Keystone Transaction was closed on August 4, 2004 (see Note 2 to ProLogis Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1). ProLogis made a cash payment of approximately $467 million, including the funding of working capital reserves, at closing and expects to fund additional consideration of approximately $43 million. ProLogis believes that it will have sufficient cash on hand and borrowing capacity to fund the additional payment. Of the total cash outlay, ProLogis funded approximately $183 million on a short-term basis. ProLogis expects this amount to be returned after secured financing arrangements are completed by the Acquiring Property Funds, expected to occur in the third and fourth quarters of 2004. Interest rate lock agreements have been executed with five U.S. insurance companies for $915 million of secured debt. The five rate-lock agreements are subject to the companies issuing firm commitments, reaching an agreement on loan documents and the completion of customary lender due diligence by the companies. ProLogis used existing cash on hand and borrowings on its revolving lines of credit for this cash outlay. ProLogis revolving lines of credit provide liquidity and financial flexibility, thereby allowing ProLogis to efficiently respond to market opportunities and execute its business strategy. ProLogis anticipates that future repayments of its revolving lines of credit borrowings will be funded primarily through the proceeds from future property contributions and sales and from the proceeds generated by future issuances of debt or equity securities, depending on market conditions. Such regular repayments are necessary to allow ProLogis to maintain adequate liquidity.
ProLogis expects that its primary cash needs, excluding the Keystone Transaction, will consist of the following for the remainder of 2004 and future years:
| Acquisitions of land for future development; | |||
| Development and acquisitions of properties in the CDFS business segment; | |||
| Direct acquisitions of operating properties on a limited basis in key distribution markets for direct, long-term investment in the property operations segment; and | |||
| Repayment of debt that is scheduled to mature. |
While ProLogis has a Common Share repurchase program under which it may repurchase an additional $84.1 million of Common Shares at August 5, 2004, ProLogis has not repurchased any Common Shares in 2004 and does not currently expect that it will require significant cash for this program in 2004.
ProLogis expects to fund its primary cash needs for the remainder of 2004 and future years with cash from the following sources:
| Property operations; | |||
| Proceeds from the disposition of the French operations of TCL Holding that are classified as held for sale; | |||
| Proceeds from the contributions of properties to property funds; | |||
| Proceeds from the sales of properties to third parties; | |||
| Proceeds from the issuance of longer-term senior notes; | |||
| Utilization of ProLogis revolving lines of credit; and | |||
| Proceeds from the sales of Common Shares, including sales of Common Shares under ProLogis various Common Share plans, and sales of Preferred Shares. |
At August 5, 2004, ProLogis had $750.0 million of shelf-registered securities that can be issued in the form of senior notes, Preferred Shares, Common Shares, rights to purchase Common Shares and Preferred Share purchase rights on an as-needed basis, subject to ProLogis ability to affect an offering on satisfactory terms. ProLogis continues to evaluate the global public debt markets with the objective of reducing its short-term borrowings in favor of longer-term, fixed-rate debt, when it is deemed appropriate.
45
ProLogis is committed to offer to contribute its stabilized developed properties available in specific markets in Europe to ProLogis European Properties Fund through September 2019 and all of its stabilized developed properties available in Japan to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund through June 2006. ProLogis believes that, while the current capital commitments and borrowing capacities of these property funds will be expended prior to the expiration dates of these commitments, each property fund does have sufficient capital to acquire the properties that ProLogis expects to have available during 2004.
ProLogis was committed to offer to contribute all of the properties that it developed and stabilized during 2003 in North America (excluding properties that are covered under an agreement with ProLogis California) to ProLogis North American Properties Fund V. This commitment originally expired on December 31, 2003. However, on June 29, 2004, both parties agreed to extend the commitment through December 31, 2004 with respect to properties that ProLogis develops, stabilizes and desires to dispose of in North America during 2004 (excluding properties that are covered under an agreement with ProLogis California). ProLogis North American Properties Fund V is not obligated to acquire any of the properties that ProLogis expects it will offer to contribute. While ProLogis North American Properties Fund Vs majority owner is a listed property trust in Australia that is able to raise capital in the public market, there can be no assurance that ProLogis North American Properties Fund V will have the available capital to acquire additional properties from ProLogis during the remainder of 2004 or, if capital is available, that ProLogis North American Properties Fund V will want to use its capital to acquire properties from ProLogis. Accordingly, ProLogis cannot predict the extent to which ProLogis North American Properties Fund V will continue to acquire properties from ProLogis during 2004.
Should the property funds not have sufficient capital to acquire the properties that ProLogis has available or otherwise choose not to acquire properties from ProLogis, ProLogis is allowed to pursue other disposition opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that ProLogis can readily dispose of its CDFS business properties to third parties or that ProLogis could raise private capital through the formation of other property funds that would acquire the properties. Also, ProLogis could experience delays in completing dispositions to third parties or to new property funds. Such delays could result in the recognition of the expected CDFS income in a reporting period that is later than originally anticipated. See the discussion of risks factors involved with the disposition of properties and the raising of capital in ProLogis 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $233.9 million for the six months in 2004 and $167.2 million for the same period in 2003. Operational items that impact net cash provided by operating activities are discussed in Results of Operations. Additionally, cash provided by operating activities in 2004 is higher in than in 2003 due to the change in working capital balances. Such changes are primarily a function of the timing of receipts and disbursements. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on Common Shares in both periods.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the six months in 2004 and 2003, ProLogis investing activities used net cash of $56.0 million and $123.6 million, respectively. The net cash used is summarized as follows:
| ProLogis investing activities consist primarily of investments in real estate (both acquisition and development expenditures), as well as recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and lease commissions on previously leased space. These items aggregated $811.3 million for the first six months of 2004 and $692.9 million for the first six months in 2003. | |||
| ProLogis unconsolidated investees generated net cash to ProLogis of $48.1 million and $17.6 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively, consisting primarily of the periodic cash distributions made by the property funds to ProLogis. ProLogis also generated net proceeds of $13.2 million upon the partial disposition of its investment in a property fund during the six months in 2004. | |||
| Net cash generated from contributions and sales of properties and land parcels were $690.7 million and $551.7 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
46
For the six months in 2004, ProLogis financing activities used net cash of $114.8 million. For the six months in 2003, ProLogis financing activities generated net cash of $19.1 million. Excluding cash distributions on Common Shares and to minority interest holders and Preferred Share dividends paid in cash, ProLogis financing activities are summarized as follows:
| Generated net cash of $34.0 million in 2004 Net borrowings on ProLogis revolving lines of credit ($13.6 million), net proceeds from the issuance of the Euro Notes ($417.9 million) and net proceeds from sales and issuances of Common Shares ($28.1 million) were the primary sources of cash with the redemption of Preferred Shares ($125.0 million) and principal payments on debt ($299.7 million) the primary uses of cash. | |||
| Generated net cash of $170.0 million in 2003 Net proceeds from long-term debt issuances ($327.8 million) and net proceeds from sales and issuances of Common Shares ($24.5 million) were the primary sources of cash with net repayments on ProLogis revolving lines of credit ($76.8 million), the repurchases of Common Shares ($9.8 million) and principal payments on debt ($94.4 million) the primary uses of cash. |
Distributions paid to holders of Common Shares were $132.2 million and $128.8 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Distributions paid to minority interest holders were $3.5 million and $5.8 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Dividends paid on Preferred Shares were $13.0 million and $16.4 million for the six months in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Borrowing Capacities
ProLogis has over $1.5 billion of short-term borrowing capacities through six revolving lines of credit under which ProLogis may borrow in four currencies. The revolving lines of credit are summarized below for the periods indicated (dollar amounts in millions of U.S. dollars, as applicable):

(1) | ProLogis had properties under development at June 30, 2004 with a total expected cost at completion of $932.0 million. ProLogis has entered into contracts for certain phases of the construction of these projects. However, these contracts do not generally cover all of the costs that are necessary to place the property into service, including the costs of tenant improvements and marketing and leasing costs. The unfunded commitments presented include all such costs, not only those costs that ProLogis is obligated to fund under construction contracts. |
(2) | At June 30, 2004, ProLogis was committed to make additional equity contributions to ProLogis European Properties Fund of 135.4 million euro (the currency equivalent of approximately $163.1 million at June 30, 2004) as required through September 15, 2009. For purposes of this presentation, the total commitment is included in the earliest time period as there is no schedule for when the commitment will be funded. |
(3) | For purposes of this presentation, the expiration dates of three of the six credit agreements include extension periods that are at ProLogis' option. See Borrowing Capacities. |
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
ProLogis Common Share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of its cash flow that ensures that ProLogis will meet the distribution requirements of the Code and that allows ProLogis to maximize the cash retained
50
to meet other cash needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow typically will be greater than operating income and net earnings.
The Board set a projected annual distribution rate for 2004 of $1.46 per Common Share (as compared to actual distributions of $1.44 per Common Share in 2003). ProLogis paid a quarterly distribution of $0.365 per Common Share on February 27, 2004 and May 28, 2004 to holders of Common Shares at February 13, 2004 and May 14, 2004. The payment of Common Share distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board, is dependent on ProLogis financial condition and operating results and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year. ProLogis has increased its Common Share distribution level every year since its Common Shares became publicly traded in 1994.
At June 30, 2004, ProLogis had three series of Preferred Shares outstanding. The annual dividend rates on ProLogis Preferred Shares are $4.27 per Series C Preferred Share, $1.69 per Series F Preferred Share and $1.69 per Series G Preferred Share. Dividends on each series of Preferred Shares are paid on the last day of the calendar quarter and ProLogis paid a quarterly dividend on all series of its Preferred Shares on both March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.
Pursuant to the terms of its Preferred Shares, ProLogis is restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the then current dividend period with respect to the Preferred Shares.
Other Commitments
At June 30, 2004, ProLogis had letters of intent or contingent contracts, subject to ProLogis final due diligence, for the acquisition of operating properties aggregating 11.8 million square feet at an estimated total acquisition cost of $160.7 million. These transactions are subject to a number of conditions and ProLogis cannot predict with certainty that they will be consummated.
ProLogis, from time to time, enters into Special Limited Contribution Agreements (SLCA) in connection with certain of its contributions of properties to certain of its property funds. Under the SLCAs, ProLogis is obligated to make an additional capital contribution to the respective property fund under certain circumstances, the occurrence of which ProLogis believes to be remote. Specifically, ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution to the property fund if the property funds third-party lender, whose loans to the property fund are generally secured by the property funds assets and are non-recourse, does not receive a specified minimum level of debt repayment. However, the proceeds received by the third-party lender from the exhaustion of all of the assets of the property fund combined with the debt repayments received directly from the property fund will reduce ProLogis obligations under the SLCA on a dollar-for-dollar basis. ProLogis potential obligations under the respective SLCAs, as a percentage of the assets in the property funds, range from 2% to 28%. Accordingly, the value of the assets of the respective property funds would have to decline by between 98% and 72% before ProLogis would be required to make an additional capital contribution. ProLogis believes that the likelihood of declines in the values of the assets that support the third-party loans of the magnitude necessary to require an additional capital contribution is remote, especially in light of the geographically diversified portfolios of properties owned by the property funds. Accordingly, these potential obligations have not been recognized as a liability by ProLogis at June 30, 2004 and ProLogis has assessed a nominal value to the guarantee undertaken through the SLCAs. The potential obligations under the SLCAs aggregate $402.4 million at June 30, 2004 and the combined book value of the assets in the property funds, before depreciation, that are subject to the provisions of the SLCAs was approximately $5.6 billion at June 30, 2004.

Funds from Operations
Funds from operations is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to funds from operations is net earnings. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) has published a definition of funds from operations, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of funds from operations are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business. Funds from operations, as defined by ProLogis, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. Funds from operations is not used by ProLogis as, nor should it be considered to be, an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of ProLogis operating performance or as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of ProLogis ability to fund its cash needs.
Funds from operations is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor does ProLogis intend it to present, a complete picture of its financial condition and operating performance. ProLogis believes that net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that funds from operations is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. Further, ProLogis believes that its consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of its financial condition and its operating performance.
NAREITs funds from operations measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. ProLogis agrees that these two NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(a) historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on Funds from Operations since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of funds from operations reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and the depreciation charges required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities.
(b) REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of funds from operations, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REITs activities and assists in comparing those operating results between periods.
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its funds from operations concept for the REIT industry, it also recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community. ProLogis believes that financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review its operating results are best served by a defined funds from operations measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of funds from operations.
The ProLogis defined funds from operations measure excludes the following items from net earnings computed under GAAP that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined funds from operations measure: (i) deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by ProLogis taxable subsidiaries; (ii) certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between ProLogis and its foreign consolidated subsidiaries and its foreign unconsolidated investees; (iii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of ProLogis foreign consolidated subsidiaries and its foreign unconsolidated investees; and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to manage ProLogis foreign currency risks. Funds from operations of ProLogis unconsolidated investees is calculated on the same basis as ProLogis.
52
The items that ProLogis excludes from net earnings computed under GAAP, while not infrequent or unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on ProLogis results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. Most importantly, the economics underlying the items that ProLogis excludes from net earnings computed under GAAP are not the primary drivers in managements decision-making process and capital investment decisions. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Accordingly, ProLogis believes that investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of ProLogis operating results along the same lines that ProLogis management uses in planning and executing its business strategy.
Real estate is a capital-intensive business. Investors analyses of the performance of real estate companies tend to be centered on understanding the asset value created by real estate investment decisions and understanding current operating returns that are being generated by those same investment decisions. The adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP that are included in arriving at the ProLogis defined funds from operations measure are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions and evaluating its current operating performance. ProLogis believes that these adjustments are also helpful to industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in their understanding and evaluation of ProLogis performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on real estate investments.
While ProLogis believes that its defined funds from operations measure is an important supplemental measure, neither NAREITs nor ProLogis measure of funds from operations should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
| Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from funds from operations. Funds from operations is limited as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of distribution properties are not reflected in funds from operations. | |||
| Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of the disposed properties. Funds from operations, by excluding these gains and losses, does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. | |||
| The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from ProLogis defined funds from operations measure result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. ProLogis defined funds from operations measure does not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. | |||
| The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from ProLogis defined funds from operations measure are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of ProLogis foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. ProLogis funds from operations measure is limited in that it does not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
ProLogis compensates for these limitations by using its funds from operations measure only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. To further compensate, ProLogis always reconciles its funds from operations measure to net earnings computed under GAAP in its financial reports. Additionally, ProLogis provides investors with its complete financial statements prepared under GAAP, its definition of funds from operations which includes a discussion of the limitations of using ProLogis non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation of ProLogis GAAP measure (net earnings) to its non-GAAP measure (funds from operations as defined by ProLogis) so that investors can appropriately incorporate this ProLogis measure and its limitations into their analyses.
