Explanatory Note

      This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A for AMB Property Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2003 is being filed to amend and restate the items described below contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for such period originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2004 and March 15, 2004, respectively.

      As part of management’s on-going review of our accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting, management determined that we should have depreciated certain of our investments in buildings that reside on land subject to ground leases over the remaining terms of the ground leases, rather than over 40 years, which is the period used to depreciate buildings that we hold in fee simple. We did not segregate these assets into a separate expected useful life category for depreciation purposes. This error resulted in our failure to reflect additional depreciation expense in our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 filed on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.

      This Amendment No. 2 amends Part II, Item 6, Selected Financial Data; Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures; and Part IV, Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules contained in our Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/ A originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2004 and March 15, 2004, respectively, for the following purposes:

  •  To amend Part II, Item 6, Selected Financial Data and Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to take into account the effects of the restatement;
 
  •  To amend Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, to reflect the restatement; and
 
  •  To amend Part IV, Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, to restate our consolidated financial statements, the related notes and financial statement schedules, as more fully described in Note 2 to our restated consolidated financial statements contained in this Amendment No. 2.

      Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 12b-15, this Amendment No. 2 sets forth the complete text of each item of Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/ A listed above as further amended, and includes as Exhibits 31 and 32 new certifications by our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer. This Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of our original Form 10-K on March 11, 2004 or our Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K/ A on March 15, 2004, or modify or update the disclosures presented in our original Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2004 or Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed on March 15, 2004, except to reflect the restatement as described above. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with our filings made subsequent to the filing of our original Form 10-K on March 11, 2004 and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A on March 15, 2004, including any amendments to those filings. Additional disclosure regarding the restatement is included in Note 2 to the restated consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A.

PART I

 
Item 1. Business

General

      AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation, acquires, owns, operates, manages, renovates, expands and develops primarily industrial properties in key distribution markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. We commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the completion of our initial public offering on November 26, 1997. Increasingly, our properties are designed for customers who value the efficient movement of goods in the world’s busiest distribution markets: large, supply-constrained locations with close proximity to airports, seaports and major freeway systems. As of December 31, 2003, we owned, managed and had renovation and development projects totaling 101.5 million square feet (9.4 million square meters) and 1,057 buildings in 36 markets within seven countries.

      We operate our business through our subsidiary, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. We refer to AMB Property, L.P. as the “operating partnership.” As of December 31, 2003, we owned an approximate 94.5% general partnership interest in the operating partnership, excluding preferred units. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for and discretion in its day-to-day management and control.

      Our investment strategy targets customers whose businesses are tied to global trade, which, according to the World Trade Organization, has grown at approximately 2.5 times the world gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate during the last 20 years. To serve the facilities needs of these customers, we invest in major distribution markets, transportation hubs and gateways in both the U.S. and internationally. Our target markets are characterized by large population densities and typically offer substantial consumer bases, proximity to large clusters of distribution-facility users and significant labor pools. When measured by annualized base rents, 67.4% of our assets are concentrated in eight U.S. hub and gateway distribution markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and Seattle. Our on-tarmac assets account for 8.9% of our annualized base rents.

      By focusing on an investment strategy that targets areas of high customer demand and limited competition from new supply, we believe that over time our net operating income (rental revenues less property operating expenses and real estate taxes) will grow and our property values will increase. Much of our portfolio is comprised of strategically located industrial buildings in in-fill submarkets; in-fill locations are characterized by supply constraints on the availability of land for competing projects as well as physical, political or economic barriers to new development.

      We focus our investment strategy on High Throughput Distribution®, or HTD® facilities, which are buildings designed to quickly distribute our customers’ products, rather than store them. Our investment focus on HTD assets is based on the global trend toward lower inventory levels and expedited supply chains. HTD facilities generally have a variety of characteristics that allow the rapid transport of goods from point-to-point. Examples of these physical characteristics include numerous dock doors, shallower building depths, fewer columns, large truck courts and more space for trailer parking. We believe that these building characteristics represent an important success factor for time-sensitive customers such as air express, logistics and freight forwarding companies and that these facilities function best when located in convenient proximity to transportation infrastructure such as major airports and seaports.

      As of December 31, 2003, we owned and operated (exclusive of properties that we managed for third parties) 948 industrial buildings and six retail and other properties, totaling approximately 87.6 million rentable square feet, located in 34 markets throughout North America and in France, Germany and Japan. As of December 31, 2003, through our subsidiary, AMB Capital Partners, LLC, we also managed, but did not have an ownership interest in, industrial buildings and retail centers, totaling approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2003, we had investments in operating industrial buildings, totaling approximately 7.9 million rentable square feet, through investments in unconsolidated joint

Table of Contents

ventures. As of December 31, 2003, we also had investments in industrial development projects, some of which are part of our development-for-sale program, totaling approximately 5.5 million square feet.

      As of December 31, 2003, we had one retail land parcel and one industrial building held for divestiture. During 2003, our dispositions and contributions totaled $366.3 million, including assets in markets that no longer fit our investment strategy and properties at valuations that we considered to be at premium levels. While we will continue to sell assets on an opportunistic basis, we believe that we have substantially achieved our near-term strategic disposition goals.

      We are self-administered and self-managed and expect that we have qualified and will continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 1997. As a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, our own employees perform our corporate administrative and management functions, rather than our relying on an outside manager for these services. Through our Strategic Alliance Program®, we have established relationships with third-party real estate management firms, brokers and developers that provide property-level administrative and management services under our direction.

      Our principal executive office is located at Pier 1, Bay 1, San Francisco, California 94111; our telephone number is (415) 394-9000. We also maintain regional offices in Boston, Massachusetts, Chicago, Illinois, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Tokyo, Japan. As of December 31, 2003, we employed 175 individuals, 126 at our San Francisco headquarters, 45 in our Boston office and the remainder in our other regional offices. Our website address is www.amb.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available on our website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained on our website is not and should not be deemed a part of this annual report.

      Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMB Property Corporation, AMB Property, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries, and the references to AMB Property Corporation include AMB Property, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries. The following marks are our registered trademarks: AMB®; Development Alliance Partners®; HTD®; High Throughput Distribution®; Management Alliance Program®; Strategic Alliance Partners®; Strategic Alliance Programs®; and UPREIT Alliance Program®.

Operating Strategy

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

      We believe that real estate is fundamentally a local business and best operated by forging alliances with service providers in each target market. We believe that this strategy results in a mutually beneficial relationship as these alliance partners provide us with high-quality, local market expertise and intelligence. We believe that we, in turn, contribute value to the alliances through our national and global customer relationships, industry knowledge, perspective and financial strength. We actively manage our portfolio, including the establishment of leasing strategies, negotiation of lease terms, pricing, and level and timing of property improvements.

      We believe our alliances give us both local market benefits and flexibility to focus on our core competencies, which are developing and executing our strategic approach to real estate investment and management and raising private capital to finance growth.

Growth Strategies

 
Growth Through Operations

      We seek to generate long-term internal growth through rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space, by seeking to: maintain a high occupancy rate at our properties; and control expenses by capitalizing on the economies of owning, operating and growing a large, global portfolio. However, during 2003, our average industrial base rental rates decreased by 10.1%, from the expiring rent for that space, on leases entered into or renewed during the period. This amount excludes expense reimbursements, rental abatements, percentage rents and straight-line rents. Since 2001, as the industrial market weakened, we have focused on maintaining occupancy. During 2003, cash-basis same-store net operating income (rental revenues less property operating expenses and real estate taxes) decreased by 5.6% on our industrial properties. Since our initial public offering in November 1997, we have experienced average annual increases in industrial base rental rates of 10.4% and maintained an average occupancy of 95.0%. While we believe that it is important to view real estate as a long-term investment, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance. See Part IV. Item 15: Note 17 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for detailed segment information, including revenue attributable to each segment, gross investment in each segment and total assets.

 
Growth Through Acquisitions and Capital Redeployment

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

      We are generally in various stages of negotiations for a number of acquisitions and dispositions that may include acquisitions and dispositions of individual properties, acquisitions of large multi-property portfolios and acquisitions of other real estate companies. There can be no assurance that we will consummate any of these transactions. Such transactions, if we consummate them, may be material individually or in the aggregate. Sources of capital for acquisitions may include retained cash flow from operations, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, other forms of secured or unsecured debt financing, issuances of debt or preferred or common equity securities by us or the operating partnership (including issuances of units in the operating partnership or its subsidiaries), proceeds from divestitures of properties, assumption of debt related to the acquired properties and private capital from our co-investment partners. See Part II. Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a summary of key transactions in 2003.

 
Growth Through Development

      We believe that development, renovation and expansion of well-located, high-quality industrial properties should continue to provide us with attractive investment opportunities at a higher rate of return than we may obtain from the purchase of existing properties. We believe we have the in-house expertise to create value both through new construction and through acquisition and management of value-added properties. Value-added properties are typically characterized as properties with available space or near-term leasing exposure, undeveloped land acquired in connection with other property that provides an opportunity for development or properties that are well-located but require redevelopment or renovation. Both new development and value-added properties require significant management attention and capital investment to maximize their return. In addition to our in-house development staff, we have established strategic alliances with global and regional developers that we expect to enhance our development capabilities. We believe our global market presence

3


Table of Contents

and expertise will enable us to continue to generate and capitalize on a diverse range of development opportunities.

      The multidisciplinary backgrounds of our employees should provide us with the skills and experience to capitalize on strategic renovation, expansion and development opportunities. Several of our officers have specific experience in real estate development, both with us and with national development firms, and over the past year we have expanded our development staff. We pursue development projects directly and in joint ventures with our Development Alliance Partners®, which provides us with the flexibility to pursue development projects independently or in partnerships, depending on market conditions, submarkets or building sites. Under a typical joint venture agreement with a Development Alliance Partner, we would fund 95% of the construction costs and our partner would fund 5%; however, in certain cases we may own as little as 50% or as much as 98% of the joint venture. Upon completion, we generally would purchase our partner’s interest in the joint venture. We may also structure developments such that we would own 100% of the asset with an incentive development fee to be paid upon completion to our development partner.

 
Growth Through Developments for Sale

      The operating partnership, through its taxable REIT subsidiaries, conducts a variety of businesses that include incremental income programs, such as our development projects available for sale to third parties. Such development properties include value-added conversion projects and build-to-sell projects.

 
Growth Through Global Expansion

      Over the next three to four years, we expect to have approximately 15% of our portfolio (based on consolidated annualized base rent) invested in international markets. As of December 31, 2003, our international operating properties comprised 3.0% of our total annualized industrial base rent. Our Mexican target markets currently include Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Our European target markets currently include Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid and London. Our Asian target markets currently include Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. There are many factors that could cause our entry into target markets and future capital allocation to differ from our current expectations, which are discussed under the subheading “Our International Growth is Subject to Special Political and Monetary Risks” and elsewhere under the heading “Business Risks” in this report. Further, it is possible that our target markets will change over time to reflect experience, market opportunities, customer needs and changes in global distribution patterns. For a breakout of the amount of our revenues attributable to the United States and to foreign countries in total, please see Part IV. Item 15: Note 17 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

      We believe that expansion into target international markets represents a natural extension of our strategy to invest in industrial markets with high population densities, close proximity to large customer clusters and available labor pools, and major distribution centers serving global trade. Our international expansion strategy mirrors our domestic focus on supply-constrained submarkets with political, economic or physical constraints to new development. Our international investments will extend our offering of High Throughput Distribution facilities for customers who value speed-to-market over storage. Specifically, we are focused on customers whose business is derived from global trade. In addition, our investments target major consumer distribution markets and customers.

      We believe that our established customer relationships, our contacts in the air cargo and logistics industries, our underwriting of markets and investment considerations and our Strategic Alliance Programs with knowledgeable developers and managers will assist us in competing internationally.

 
Growth Through Co-Investments

      We co-invest in properties with private-capital investors through partnerships, limited liability companies or joint ventures. Our co-investment joint ventures typically operate under the same investment strategy that we apply to our other operations. Typically we will own a 20-50% interest in our co-investment ventures. In general, we control all significant operating and investment decisions of our co-investment entities. We believe that our co-investment program will continue to serve as a source of capital for acquisitions and developments;

4


Table of Contents

however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so. In addition, our co-investment joint ventures are a significant source of revenues as we earn acquisition and development fees, asset management fees and priority distributions as well as promoted interests and incentive fees based on the performance of the co-investment joint ventures.

BUSINESS RISKS

      See Part II. Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Business Risks” for a complete discussion of the various risks that could adversely affect us, including risks related to our international operations.

 
Item 2. Properties

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

      As of December 31, 2003, we owned 948 industrial buildings aggregating approximately 87.1 million rentable square feet, located in 34 markets throughout North America and in France, Germany and Japan. Our industrial properties accounted for $518.1 million, or 98.9%, of our total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2003. Our industrial properties were 93.1% leased to over 2,500 customers, the largest of which accounted for no more than 3.1% of our annualized base rent from our industrial properties. See Item 15: Note 17 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for segment information related to our operations.

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

                     
Building Type Description 2003 2002




Warehouse
  15,000-75,000 square feet, single or multi-customer     40.7 %     40.2 %
Bulk Warehouse
  Over 75,000 square feet, single or multi-customer     39.3 %     39.6 %
Flex Industrial
  Includes assembly or research & development, single or multi-customer     7.3 %     7.5 %
Light Industrial
  Smaller customers, 15,000 square feet or less, higher office finish     6.1 %     6.5 %
Trans-Shipment
  Unique configurations for truck terminals and cross-docking     2.2 %     2.3 %
Air Cargo
  On-tarmac or airport land for transfer of air cargo goods     3.1 %     2.6 %
Office
  Single or multi-customer, used strictly for office     1.3 %     1.3 %

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

      Overview of Major Target Markets. Our industrial properties are typically located near major airports, key interstate highways, and seaports in major domestic metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey/ New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami and

5


Table of Contents

Seattle. Our international industrial facilities are located in major distribution markets, including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Paris, Frankfurt and Tokyo.

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

Properties Held Through Joint Ventures, Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships

 
Consolidated:

      As of December 31, 2003, we held interests in joint ventures, limited liability companies and partnerships with institutional investors and other third parties, which we consolidate in our financial statements. Such investments are consolidated because we owned a majority interest or, as general partner, exercise significant control over major operating decisions such as acquisition or disposition decisions, approval of budgets, selection of property managers and changes in financing. Under the agreements governing the joint ventures, we and the other party to the joint venture may be required to make additional capital contributions and, subject to certain limitations, the joint ventures may incur additional debt. Such agreements also impose certain restrictions on the transfer of joint venture interests by us or the other party to the joint venture and typically provide certain rights to us or the other party to the joint venture to sell our or their interest in the joint venture to the joint venture or to the other joint-venture partner on terms specified in the agreement. In addition, under certain circumstances, many of the joint ventures include buy/sell provisions. See Part IV. Item 15: Note 10 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional details. The tables that follow summarize our consolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2003.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, Mortgage Investments and Other Investment:

      As of December 31, 2003, we held interests in six equity investment joint ventures that are not consolidated in our financial statements. The management and control over significant aspects of these investments are held by the third-party joint-venture partners and the investments do not meet the variable-interest entity consolidation criteria under FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In addition, as of December 31, 2003, we held mortgage investments, from which we receive interest income.

(2)  Represents our ownership percentage in the co-investment joint venture that holds the mortgage investment.
 
(3)  We also have a 0.1% unconsolidated equity interest (with a 33% economic interest) in this property and an option to purchase the remaining equity interest that begins January 1, 2007 and expires December 31, 2009.

Secured Debt

      As of December 31, 2003, we had $1.4 billion of secured indebtedness, net of unamortized premiums, secured by deeds of trust on 111 properties. As of December 31, 2003, the total gross consolidated investment value of those properties secured by debt was $2.6 billion. Of the $1.4 billion of secured indebtedness, $1.1 billion was joint venture debt secured by properties with a gross investment value of $1.8 billion. For additional details, see Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Item 15: Note 7 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report. We believe that as of December 31, 2003, the fair value of the properties securing the respective obligations in each case exceeded the principal amount of the outstanding obligations.

 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings

      As of December 31, 2003, there were no pending legal proceedings to which we were a party or of which any of our properties was the subject, the adverse determination of which we anticipate would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
