® sustainability 2005 Summary Annual Report The long-term growth plan ProLogis set in motion a year ago is well underway. Our 2005 results were excellent, and we’re confident in our ability to continue to execute our plan for sustained, profitable growth well into the future. But sustaining our performance and building a company that excels long term transcends traditional financial growth. Our commitment includes creating an environment in which our people can recognize their full potential and build mutually beneficial relationships with our customers. And as a leader in our industry, we are committed to implementing innovative solutions for sustainable development while making a difference in our communities and our world. These are the keys to true sustainability. Mission To be the leading global provider of distribution facilities and services to the world’s largest users of distribution space, thereby creating value for our customers and shareholders.

We believe it is our responsibility to focus on leveraging our leading global platform to bring together the best and most cost-effective, energy-saving and environmental practices from around the world to create value in a sustainable manner. Our focus on customer relationships and profitable growth and our commitment to both our shareholders and our people are stronger than ever. In recent years, as we have grown our development and property fund businesses, we have endeavored to enhance our leading global presence while maximizing shareholder returns. The breadth of our global property platform and strong customer relationships helped us to sustain growth when many global economies struggled, and these same core competitive strengths will propel us forward during more robust economic times. By any measure, 2005 was a year of tremendous accom- plishment. We exceeded others’ expectations, posting 11.5% growth in funds from operations, while making significant progress toward our long-term objectives. Last year at this time, we embarked on a five-year plan to grow assets owned and managed to $30 billion, comprising 500 million square feet of space, and to achieve a pace of $2 billion in new development annually by the end of 2009. While these goals seemed aggressive to some at the time, our talented global team has, in the first year, made significant strides. We ended 2005 with more than $22 billion of assets owned, managed and under development, comprising over 375 million square feet, and began a record $2.2 billion of new development. Catellus Merger Provides Important Benefits Our $5.3 billion merger with Catellus Development Corporation in September was the most significant event of 2005, adding momentum to our initiatives in North America. The transaction was notable in many respects. Most important, we were joined by a team of 75 experienced development and local market professionals, including Ted Antenucci, formerly president of Catellus Commercial Development, who now heads our global P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 1 Jeffrey H.

In addition, Nelson Rising, formerly Catellus’ chief executive officer, and Christine Garvey, both Catellus board members, have joined the ProLogis board, providing important continuity and valued insight. The merger added roughly 42 million square feet of high- quality, recently developed commercial space, enhancing our leading positions in six of the largest US logistics markets and providing an additional 2,500 acres of well-located land to support the development of another 40 million square feet of space. The merger with Catellus also brought expertise in the redevelopment of abandoned airports and military bases into attractive, mixed-use projects. Projects of this nature require expertise and financial wherewithal but also a sensitivity to place and community. These redevelopment projects will add to our portfolio of properties while providing fees from infra- structure development and profits from the sale of improved land for non-industrial uses. Six months following the merger, we are excited about the way the two organizations have come together. We are already realizing the benefits of combining the two strongest develop- ment organizations and most extensive land positions in the United States through expanded customer relationships and leasing activity. Strong Global Demand Supports Improved Fundamentals We continued to experience strong customer demand in 2005, sustained by the growth in global trade and the ongoing need Annualized Base Rents from Top 25 Customers (in millions) Global Leasing (in millions of square feet) Development Starts* (in millions) for companies to make distribution efficiency a business imperative. This strong demand led to further increases in our occupancy levels and record leasing activity on all three continents. Across the globe, we leased approximately 95 mil- lion square feet, up almost 44% over leasing activity in 2004. We also achieved significant improvement in our same-store measures with the highest occupancies we’ve seen in over four years, increases in net operating income and higher rent levels in the second half of the year. . 0 4 3 3 $ . 9 4 9 4 5 1 2 $ , . 0 9 6 2 $ . 5 6 0 2 $ . 0 6 6 . 9 6 5 5 4 2 1 $ , 4 7 6 $ 03 04 05 03 04 05 03 04 05 *Total expected invest- ment, including 100% of development JVs. 2 P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 There are some US markets in which speculative construction Our Ability to Sustain More than Simply Growth has picked up.

Our state-of-the-art facilities located in the world’s largest logistics markets are key to accomplishing that goal. Middle: The ability to recycle cap- ital is the core of ProLogis’ fund strategy. Masato Miki, ProLogis Japan Co-President, evaluates opportunities to invest capital for maximum returns and manages our fund business in Japan. Bottom: Creating thriving metropol- itan areas from infill redevelopment locations is a core competency of Catellus Development Corp. Pacific Commons, in California, is a perfect example of how respon- sible development can effectively meet the needs of both business and the community. P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 7 8 P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 Global Growth The remarkable growth in international trade seen over the past several years shows little sign of abating, as the manufacture of consumer goods shifts increasingly to regions of the world with low labor costs. That trend is fundamentally changing how companies get their products to the world’s largest consumer markets. As they rethink their supply chains, modern, efficiently designed industrial warehouses play a crucial role. At year end, market conditions were healthy or improving on all three continents in which we do business. Our North American stabilized portfolio occupancy increased by 2.75 per- centage points in 2005, nearly double the industry average. Importantly, this improvement was achieved at a time when an additional 100 million square feet of new space was added to the top 30 US markets. ProLogis continues to benefit from dynamics that are fundamentally changing the manufacturing, retailing and distribution industries on a global basis. In Europe, demand for high-quality space continues to strengthen, driven by the growth in outsourcing of logistics services and the increase in cross-border trade brought about by the expansion of the European Union. ProLogis serves as the leading pan-European industrial warehouse provider, with the ability to serve customers in multiple markets across 11 countries. In Asia, we experienced a record development year due to several market drivers. Among them is the move by an increasing number of Japanese companies to streamline distribution and to lease, rather than own, real estate assets. In China, increased port traffic, driven by the explosion of global trade and growing domestic consumption, requires enhanced supply chains that deliver goods more efficiently throughout the country. Of course, we are not immune from future downturns in global markets. But given the track record of our operating model, the scale and reach of our platform and the long-term trends in our industry, we continue to see a future bright with promise and opportunity. P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 9 In 2005, ProLogis began develop- ment of a record $2.2 billion of facilities worldwide, driven by improving global economies and strong customer demand. These facilities add to our CDFS pipeline, thereby supporting the sustain- ability of future growth. ability Our people, our customers ProLogis was founded on a simple idea – we could create exceptional value by forging long-term ties with our customers and focusing on quality facilities and services. Traditional real estate firms concentrated on generating a high volume of single transactions. We embrace a different approach. The ability to provide superior Sustainable Relationships Our customers trust us to serve them effectively. That’s why Sustainable relationships have been the key to success at they often return to us when seeking to build new facilities, ProLogis over the past decade, and they remain so today. whether it’s in Asia, North America or Europe. A good example We operate with a clear, precisely defined view of our global is adidas®, one of the world’s premier makers of athletic customer base, which includes manufacturers, retailers, apparel and sporting goods. The company is a customer in distributors, transportation companies, third-party logistics North America, with 500,000 square feet leased from us in providers and other enterprises around the world with large- metropolitan Cincinnati. In late 2005, adidas needed a new scale needs for industrial space. The Focus 500 distribution center in China. They asked us again to serve as their facilities provider, leading us to develop 650,000 square feet for them at ProLogis Park Suzhou, outside Shanghai.

At the end of 2005, we did business been leased to repeat customers. with 314 of the Focus 500, and they leased approximately 50% of our total space. 1 2 P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5  service Top: Listening to customers is key in building long-term relationships. JimPerry(l),CEOofOfficeScapes, knew what his company needed in their Denver showroom. Working with Ted Antenucci, President Global Development, OfficeScapes was the first customer at the Stapleton Airport redevelopment project in Denver, Colorado. Middle: The global success of ProLogis lies in hiring nationals to ensure consistency with local customs and expectations. From left to right, managing directors Robin von Weiler, Northern and Central Europe; Ming Mei, China; Alan Curtis, United Kingdom; and Ranald Hahn, Southern Europe, oversee their regions and provide a single point of contact for large- scale international users of distribution space. Bottom: Opportunity lies in rela- tionships. Home Depot, a customer of ours since the early ‘90s, has become the second largest retailer in the United States. As they have grown, so has their relationship with us. In 2005, we signed four leases with them for over two mil- lion square feet, including a 678,000 square-foot expansion in Atlanta. P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 1 3 A Leading Industrial Platform to Serve Customers Today, we operate what we believe is the world’s most extensive platform of industrial real estate, including approximately 9,900 acres of land owned and controlled to support future development. We maintain a leading position in some of the most strategically important distribution markets around the world – markets such as Los Angeles, Tokyo and the Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Another key advantage is our position in the world’s top container ports, since seaports process more than 90% of global trade. Today, we have properties in 18 of the largest 75 ports worldwide. These 18 ports account for 30% of the global volume in shipping containers. Our port presence has grown to almost 85 million square feet, and we have land available to support more than 38 million square feet of future port-related development. Serving our customers well does more than generate repeat business. It hones our understanding of the market and enables us to build an industry-leading portfolio of properties. Our properties are in the right markets, of the right size, and built with the right design. We believe they will deliver a sustainable competitive advantage for us over the long term, creating value for customers and investors as well. People Make the Difference A key reason for our success is the ability of our people. Whether it is a market officer in China, a fund manager in Japan, a development professional in the United Kingdom, a US property manager or the finance, accounting, tax and legal professionals that underpin our operations, our people take pride in our success and in delivering the best solutions to our cus- tomers. We don’t outsource property management, customer service or other key functions to third-party providers. Local nationals across the world build and operate our business. Our teams are made up of skilled real estate professionals with in-depth knowledge of local market dynamics, who communi- cate fluently with customers in their language. It is our people who differentiate us from our competitors and ensure that we will continue to grow and thrive around the globe. 1 4 P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 A leading provider of third-party logisticsservicesinJapan,Hitachi Transport System is helping customers modernize their distri- bution networks. Mike Yamada (l), ProLogis Japan Co-President, and Shinya Hasegawa, Vice President and Executive Officer, Solution Business Management, worked together on three new leases in 2005. InJanuary2006,Hitachi signed its third build-to-suit agreement, bringing the total to be leased from ProLogis to over 1.8 million square feet. P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 1 5 sustainability Our planet, our communities Sustainability has been defined in many ways. We see it as a state where the needs of people and commerce can be met while supporting our communities, protecting our environment and in some cases, restoring the ability of the land to provide for future generations. Sustaining our business and the Sustaining the Environment ProLogis Park Sideway will include features designed to limit Managing environmental impact is our responsibility as one environmental impacts, including heat-absorbent solar walls, of the world’s largest industrial real estate developers.

We have begun to incorporate and evaluate these and other eco-friendly advances to strike a balance between social responsi- bility and economic accountability. Middle: Whether it’s a closed military base, former railyard or abandoned airport, some of the best opportunities for expansion in key markets are through rede- velopment. Commonly located near major cities, such projects provide us the opportunity to help redefine the role of these sites in their communities. Bottom: Giving back to the com- munities in which our associates work and live is a core ProLogis value. In 2005, we donated four facilities to support the gathering and distribution of relief supplies to those affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

After years of working from converted ware- house space, we have brought together all of our Denver-based employees to improve productivity, create a more integrated organization and further our strong corporate culture. We incorporated a wide array of environmental technologies and design features into our building, including an illumination system that harvests sunlight to reduce power consumption and recharging stations for electric vehicles. We are pleased to incorporate cutting-edge technologies into our new headquarters and believe these features will generate long-term benefits – for our company and the environment. As a leader in our industry, we are fully aware of our social obligations and are committed to making a contribution to the betterment of the communities in which we operate. Commitment to Our Communities Our geographic diversity means we are well positioned to support our customers’ distribution space needs throughout the world’s largest logistics markets. It also means we have a dedicated group of more than 1,000 ProLogis associates living and working in those same 77 global markets, who know best what those communities need. Employees at our global head- quarters are active in local literacy initiatives and work in programs designed for at-risk children. In Amsterdam, we are a patron of Emma Children’s Hospital, supporting research and helping to make children with cancer a little more com- fortable. In Chicago, our team helps the homeless through their efforts with the Greater Chicago Food Depository. We also support Shanghai Sunrise, a university scholarship program for underprivileged children in China, and Building Blocks, a parent/toddler program, in the United Kingdom. We encourage our associates to be actively engaged in their local communi- ties in whatever manner delivers the most impact. In this way, we contribute to the sustainability of our organization and the communities in which we live. P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 2 1 In Denver, ProLogis associates, like Mari Akers, First Vice President Human Resources, participate in programs such as Junior Achievement. Interaction with successful members of the business community helps stu- dents like Yenny Blanco visualize the opportunities that a solid education can provide. Financial Highlights from Our CFO In our CDFS business, we continued to commit capital to In 2005, we met or exceeded developments throughout the world, starting $2.2 billion of new our expectations in every segment. developments, up from $1.2 billion in 2004.

Bokides flows and future prospects gave our board confidence to raise our dividend by 8%, from an annual rate of $1.48 per share, to $1.60 per share in 2006. During 2005, we strengthened our platform through the $5.3 bil- lion merger with Catellus. The merger increased our wholly owned properties by over 30%, our land positions by 45% and strength- ened our balance sheet through the addition of 56 million shares. All three segments of our business enjoyed excellent results. Funds from operations per share were $2.71, up 11.5% over $2.43 in the prior year – our strongest annual increase since US economic conditions began to slow in 2000. We were especially pleased with our property performance.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has published a definition of FFO, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaning- fully reflect their business. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. We do not use FFO as, nor should it be considered to be, an alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of our ability to fund our cash needs. FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our operating performance. NAREIT’s FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude his- torical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We agree 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 FFO “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, NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and 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 NAREIT’s definition of FFO, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreci- ated 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 REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO 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.” We believe financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review our operating results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. 2 8 P R O L O G I S 2 0 0 5 Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Funds From Operations Unaudited Years Ended December 31, (In thousands) Reconciliation of Net Earnings to FFO Net earnings attributable to common shares Add (deduct) NAREIT defined adjustments Real estate related depreciation and amortization Adjustment to gains recognized on dispositions of certain non-CDFS business assets and investments in property funds, net Reconciling items attributable to discontinued operations Gains recognized on dispositions of non-CDFS business assets, net Real estate related depreciation and amortization Totals discontinued operations Our share of reconciling items from unconsolidated investees Real estate related depreciation and amortization FFO adjustment to gain recognized on disposition of CDFS business segment assets Losses (gains) on dispositions of non-CDFS business business assets, net Other amortization items Totals unconsolidated investees Totals NAREIT defined adjustments Subtotals – NAREIT defined FFO Add (deduct) our defined adjustments Foreign currency exchange losses (gains), net Deferred income tax expense Reconciling items attributable to discontinued operations Assets disposed of – deferred income tax benefit Our share of reconciling items from unconsolidated investees Foreign currency exchange losses, net Deferred income tax expense (benefit) Totals unconsolidated investees Totals our defined adjustments FFO attributable to common shares as defined by us Funds From Operations (continued) Our defined FFO measure excludes the following items from net earnings computed under GAAP that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined FFO measure: (i) deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries; (ii) certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our 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 our foreign con- solidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees; and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to manage foreign currency risks. FFO of our unconsolidated investees is calculated on the same basis. The items that we exclude from net earnings computed under GAAP, while not infre- quent or unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. Most importantly, the economics underlying the items that we exclude from net earnings computed under GAAP are not the primary drivers in management’s 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, we believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our 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 our defined FFO measure are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions and evaluating our current operating performance. We believe these adjustments are also helpful to industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in their understanding and evaluation of our performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on real estate investments. 2005 2004 2003 $370,747 $202,813 $212,367 192,224 158,344 – (86,444) 3,967 (82,477) 57,766 – (1,114) (5,134) 51,518 161,265 532,012 (14,065) 12,045 (213) 298 395 693 (1,540) $530,472 (6,236) (1,718) 6,351 4,633 42,635 – 601 (3,498) 39,738 196,479 399,292 (16,590) 18,692 (1,075) 443 (359) 84 1,111 $400,403 150,908 (28,532) – 6,177 6,177 46,413 (1,823) (12,322) (2,040) 30,228 158,781 371,148 7,764 10,615 – 11,721 (503) 11,218 29,597 $400,745 While we believe our defined FFO measure is an important supplemental measure, neither NAREIT’s nor our measure of FFO 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 FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amorti- zation of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of distribution properties are not reflected in FFO. – Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of the disposed properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO 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 our defined FFO measure result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our defined FFO measure does not cur- rently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. – The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our defined FFO measure are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency- denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO 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. We compensate for these limitations by using the FFO measure only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. To further compensate, we always reconcile our FFO measure to net earnings computed under GAAP in our financial reports. Additionally, we provide investors with complete financial statements prepared under GAAP, our definition of FFO, which includes a discussion of the limitations of using our non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation of our GAAP measure (net earnings) to our non-GAAP measure (FFO, as we define it), so that investors can appropriately incorporate this measure and its limitations into their analyses.
