Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”,
“estimates”, “designed to achieve”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments
that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development
activity and changes in sales or contribution volume or profitability of developed properties, economic and market conditions in the
geographic areas where we operate and the availability of capital in existing or new property funds — are forward-looking statements.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to
predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we
can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what
is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond
our ability to control. For further discussion of these factors see “Item 1A Risk Factors” in this annual report on Form 10-K. All
references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to ProLogis and our consolidated subsidiaries.
PART I
ITEM 1. Business
ProLogis is a leading global provider of industrial distribution facilities. We are a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and
have elected to be taxed as such under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Our world headquarters is
located in Denver, Colorado. Our European headquarters is located in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with our European customer
service headquarters located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Our primary office in Asia is located in Tokyo, Japan.
Our Internet website address is www.prologis.com. All reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) are available or may be accessed free of charge through the Investor Relations section of our Internet website as soon as
reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. Our Internet website and the
information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our
common shares trade under the ticker symbol “PLD” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
We were formed in 1991, primarily as a long-term owner of industrial distribution space operating in the United States. Over time, our
business strategy evolved to include the development of properties for contribution to property funds in which we maintain an
ownership interest and the management of those property funds and the properties they own. Originally, we sought to differentiate
ourselves from our competition by focusing on our corporate customers’ distribution space requirements on a national, regional and
local basis and providing customers with consistent levels of service throughout the United States. However, as our customers’ needs
expanded to markets outside the United States, so did our portfolio and our management team. Today, we are an international real
estate company with operations in North America, Europe and Asia. Our business strategy is to integrate international scope and
expertise with a strong local presence in our markets, thereby becoming an attractive choice for our targeted customer base, the largest
global users of distribution space, while achieving long-term sustainable growth in cash flow.
Industrial distribution facilities are a crucial link in the modern supply chain, and they serve three primary purposes for supply-chain
participants: (i) support accurate and seamless flow of goods to their appointed destinations; (ii) function as processing centers for
goods; and (iii) enable companies to store enough inventory to meet surges in demand and to cushion themselves from the impact of a
break in the supply chain.
At December 31, 2009, our total portfolio of properties owned, managed, and under development includes direct-owned properties
and properties owned by property funds and joint ventures that we manage. These properties are located in North America, Europe
and Asia and are broken down as follows:

Business Strategy
In late 2008, we modified our business strategy to adjust to the global financial market and economic disruptions. This new strategy
entailed limiting our development activities to conserve capital and focus on strengthening our balance sheet.
Narrowing our focus allowed us to work on specific goals we set forth for 2009, which were to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
reduce debt by $2.0 billion;
recast our global line of credit;
complete the properties under development as of the end of 2008 and focus on leasing our total development portfolio;
manage our core portfolio of industrial distribution properties to maintain and improve our net operating income stream from
these assets;
generate liquidity through contributions of properties to our property funds and through sales of real estate to third parties; and
reduce gross general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) by 20% to 25%.
In 2009, we generated liquidity through the issuance of nearly $1.5 billion of common equity as well as nearly $2.9 billion of asset
dispositions and property fund contributions, including $1.3 billion from the sale of certain Asian operations. These transactions
allowed us to reduce our debt by $2.7 billion from December 31, 2008. In addition, we renegotiated and extended our global line of
credit, simplified the debt covenants related to our senior notes and extended the maturities of our debt. See further discussion in
“Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital
Resources.”
We reduced our gross G&A by 26.5% in 2009 from 2008, through various cost savings initiatives, including a reduction in workforce
(“RIF”) program. We executed leasing in our development portfolio in 2009, increasing the leased percentage to 64.3% at
December 31, 2009 from 41.4% at the beginning of the year.
Now that we have achieved our goals for 2009, we believe we are in a better liquidity position and can focus on our longer-term
strategy of conservative growth through the ownership, management and development of industrial properties with a concentrated
focus on customer service. Included in our objectives for 2010 and beyond are to:
•
•
retain more of our development assets in order to improve the geographic diversification of our direct owned properties, as
most of our planned developments are in international markets;
monetize our investment in land of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2009; and
4
•
continue to focus on staggering and extending our debt maturities.
We plan to accomplish these objectives by generating proceeds through selective sales of real estate properties (primarily located in
the U.S.) and land parcels, and limited contribution of development properties to the property funds. We will use the proceeds to fund
our development activities, which will allow us to respond to new build-to-suit (pre-leased) opportunities to better serve our customers
and to transition our non-income producing land into income producing properties. We will continue to focus on leasing the
development portfolio (representing 53.5 million square feet at December 31, 2009 that was 64.3% leased).
Our Operating Segments
The following discussion of our business segments should be read in conjunction with “Item 1A Risk Factors”, our property
information presented in “Item 2 Properties”, “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and our segment footnote - Note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: (i) direct owned and (ii) investment management. Our direct owned
segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial and retail properties. Our investment management segment represents
the long-term investment management of property funds, other unconsolidated investees and the properties they own.
Operating Segments - Direct Owned
Our direct owned segment represents the long-term ownership of industrial and retail properties. Our investment strategy focuses
primarily on the ownership and leasing of these properties in key distribution markets. We divide our operating properties into two
categories, properties that we developed (“completed development properties”) and all other operating properties (“core properties”).
Prior to December 31, 2008, the completed development properties were referred to as our CDFS properties.
Also included in this segment are industrial properties that are currently under development, land available for development and land
subject to ground leases.
Investments
At December 31, 2009, the following properties are in the direct owned segment and located in North America, Europe and Asia
(square feet and investment in thousands):

We earn rent from our customers, including reimbursement of certain operating costs, under long-term operating leases (with an
average lease term of five to six years at December 31, 2009). The revenue in this segment decreased in 2009 principally due to the
contributions of properties (generally completed and fully leased development properties) to the unconsolidated property funds and
decreases in rental rates on turnovers, offset partially by new leasing activity in our completed development properties. However,
rental revenues generated by the lease-up of newly developed properties have not been adequate to offset the loss of rental revenues
from fully leased property contributions. We expect our total revenues from this segment to increase slightly in 2010 through increases
in occupied square feet predominantly in our development portfolio, offset partially with decreases from contributions of properties
we made in 2009 or may make in 2010. We anticipate the increases in occupied square feet to come from leases that were signed in
2009, but have not commenced occupancy, and future leasing activity in 2010.

Market Presence
At December 31, 2009, our 1,188 industrial operating properties in this segment aggregating 191.6 million square feet were located in
39 markets in 3 countries in North America (1 market in Canada, 6 markets in Mexico and 32 markets in the United States), 28
markets in 12 countries in Europe (Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia,
Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and 6 markets in 2 countries in Asia (Japan and South Korea). Our largest markets for this
segment in North America (based on our investment in the properties) are Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Inland Empire, Los
Angeles, New Jersey and San Francisco — South Bay. Our largest investments in Europe are in Poland and the United Kingdom and
our largest investment in Asia is in Japan. Our 5 properties under development at December 31, 2009 aggregated 2.9 million square
feet and were located in 1 market in North America, 3 markets in Europe and 1 market in Asia. At December 31, 2009, we owned
10,360 acres of land with an investment of $2.6 billion and located in North America (6,275 acres, $1.1 billion investment), Europe
(3,959 acres, $1.2 billion investment) and Asia (126 acres, $0.3 billion investment). The retail properties and land subject to ground
leases are all located in the United States. See further detail in “Item 2 Properties”.
Competition
The existence of competitively priced distribution space available in any market could have a material impact on our ability to rent
space and on the rents that we can charge. To the extent we wish to acquire land for future development of properties in our direct
owned segment, we may compete with local, regional, and national developers. We also face competition from other investment
managers in attracting capital for our property funds to be utilized to acquire properties from us or third parties.
We believe we have competitive advantages due to (i) our ability to quickly respond to customer’s needs for high-quality distribution
space in key global distribution markets; (ii) our established relationships with key customers serviced by our local personnel; (iii) our
ability to leverage our organizational structure to provide a single point of contact for our global customers; (iv) our property
management and leasing expertise; (v) our relationships and proven track record with current and prospective investors in the property
funds; (vi) our global experience in the development and management of industrial properties; (vii) the strategic locations of our land
positions; and (viii) our personnel who are experienced in the land acquisition and entitlement process.
Property Management
Our business strategy includes a customer service focus that enables us to provide responsive, professional and effective property
management services at the local level. To enhance our management services, we have developed and implemented proprietary
operating and training systems to achieve consistent levels of performance and professionalism and to enable our property
management team to give the proper level of attention to our customers. We manage substantially all of our operating properties.
Customers
We have developed a customer base that is diverse in terms of industry concentration and represents a broad spectrum of international,
national, regional and local distribution space users. At December 31, 2009, in our direct owned segment, we had 2,468 customers
occupying 155.2 million square feet of industrial and retail space. Our largest customer and 25 largest customers accounted for 2.3%
and 21.4%, respectively, of our annualized collected base rents at December 31, 2009.
Employees
We employ 1,135 persons in our entire business. Our employees work in 3 countries in North America (725 persons), in 13 countries
in Europe (310 persons) and in 2 countries in Asia (100 persons). Of the total, we have assigned 645 employees to our direct owned
segment and 40 employees to our investment management segment. We have 450 employees who work in corporate positions who are
not assigned to a segment who may assist with segment activities. We believe our relationships with our employees are good. Our
employees are not organized under collective bargaining agreements, although some of our employees in Europe are represented by
statutory Works Councils and benefit from applicable labor agreements.
Future Plans
Our current business plan allows for the selective development of industrial properties (generally pre-leased) to: (i) address the
specific expansion needs of customers; (ii) enhance our market presence in a specific country, market or submarket; (iii) take
6
advantage of opportunities where we believe we have the ability to achieve favorable returns; (iv) monetize our existing land positions
through pre-committed development of industrial properties to primarily hold for long-term investment; and (v) improve the
geographic diversification of our portfolio. In addition, we expect to complete the development of the properties we have under
development, focus on leasing the properties in our development portfolio and complete the properties under development in joint
ventures in which we have an ownership interest.
In 2010, we intend to fund our investment activities in the direct owned segment by generating proceeds through selective sales of
completed real estate properties and land parcels. Additionally, depending on market conditions and the capital available from our
fund partners, we may contribute core properties and/or completed development properties to the property funds.
Operating Segments — Investment Management
The investment management segment represents the investment management of unconsolidated property funds and certain joint
ventures and the properties they own. We utilize our investment management expertise to manage the property funds and joint
ventures and we utilize our leasing and property management expertise to manage the properties owned by these entities.
Our property fund strategy:
•
•
•
•
allows us, as the manager of the property funds, to maintain and expand our market presence and customer relationships;
allows us to maintain a long-term ownership position in the properties;
allows us to earn fees for providing services to the property funds; and
provides us an opportunity to earn incentive performance participation income based on the investors’ returns over a specified
period.
Investments
As of December 31, 2009, we had investments in and advances to 15 property funds totaling $1.9 billion with ownership interests
ranging from 20% to 50%. These investments are in North America — 12 aggregating $1,010.2 million; Europe — 2 aggregating
$845.0 million; and Asia — 1 with $21.4 million. These property funds own, on a combined basis, 1,287 distribution properties
aggregating 274.2 million square feet with a total entity investment (not our proportionate share) in operating properties of
$19.5 billion. Also included in this segment are certain industrial joint ventures, which we manage and that own 92 operating
properties with 10.0 million square feet all located in North America.
Results of Operations
We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated property funds and certain
joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method. In addition, we recognize fees and incentives earned for services
performed on behalf of these and other entities. We provide services to these entities, which may include property management, asset
management, leasing, acquisition, financing and development services. We may also earn incentives from our property funds
depending on the return provided to the fund partners over a specified period.
We report the costs associated with our investment management segment as a separate line item Investment Management Expenses in
our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the direct expenses associated with the asset management of the
property funds provided by 40 individuals (as of December 31, 2009 and as discussed below) who are assigned to our investment
management segment. In addition, in order to achieve efficiencies and economies of scale, all of our property management functions
are provided by a team of professionals who are assigned to our direct owned segment. These individuals perform the property-level
management of the properties we own and the properties we manage that are owned by the unconsolidated investees. We allocate the
costs of our property management function to the properties we own (reported in Rental Expenses) and the properties owned by the
unconsolidated investees (included in Investment Management Expenses), by using the square feet owned at the beginning of the
period by the respective portfolios. For 2009, we allocated approximately 55% of our total property management costs to the
investment management segment.
Market Presence
At December 31, 2009, the property funds on a combined basis owned 1,287 properties aggregating 274.2 million square feet located
in 45 markets in 3 countries in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States), 35 markets in 12 countries in Europe
7
(Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United
Kingdom) and 2 markets in 1 country in Asia (South Korea). The industrial joint ventures included in this segment are located in the
United States and operate 92 industrial properties with 10.0 million square feet that we manage, including one joint venture that is not
accounted for on the equity method. See further detail in “Item 2 Unconsolidated Investees”.
Competition
As the manager of the property funds, we compete with other fund managers for institutional capital. As the manager of the properties
owned by the property funds, we compete with other industrial properties located in close proximity to the properties owned by the
property funds. The amount of rentable distribution space available and its current occupancy in any market could have a material
effect on the ability to rent space and on the rents that can be charged by the fund properties. We believe we have competitive
advantages as discussed above in “Operating Segments — Direct Owned”.
Property Management
We manage the properties owned by unconsolidated investees utilizing our leasing and property management experience from the
employees who are in our direct owned segment. Our business strategy includes a customer service focus that enables us to provide
responsive, professional and effective property management services at the local level. To enhance our management services, we have
developed and implemented proprietary operating and training systems to achieve consistent levels of performance and
professionalism and to enable our property management team to give the proper level of attention to our customers.
Customers
As in our direct owned segment, we have developed a customer base in the property funds and joint ventures that is diverse in terms of
industry concentration and represents a broad spectrum of international, national, regional and local distribution space users. At
December 31, 2009, our unconsolidated investees, on a combined basis, had 2,153 customers occupying 254.9 million square feet of
distribution space. The largest customer, and 25 largest customers of our unconsolidated investees, on a combined basis, accounted for
4.0% and 27.3%, respectively, of the total combined annualized collected base rents at December 31, 2009. In addition, in this
segment we consider our fund partners to also be our customers. As of December 31, 2009 in our private property funds, we partnered
with 42 investors, several of which invest in multiple funds.
Employees
The property funds generally have no employees of their own. We have assigned 40 employees directly to the asset management of
the property funds in our investment management segment. As discussed above, we have employees in our direct owned segment that
are responsible for the property management functions we provide for the properties owned by the property funds, as well as the
properties we own. We have 450 employees who work in corporate positions and are not assigned to a segment who also assist with
these activities as well.
Future Plans
We expect to continue to increase our investments in property funds. We expect to achieve these increases through the existing
property funds’ acquisition of properties from us, or from third parties, depending on market factors and available capacity, or through
the creation of new property funds. We expect the fee income we earn from the property funds and our proportionate share of net
earnings of the property funds will increase as the size and value of the portfolios owned by the property funds grows and as more
equity is deployed in the funds. We will continue to explore our options related to both new and existing property funds.
Our Management
Our executive team is led by our Chief Executive Officer, Walter C. Rakowich, who also serves as a member of our Board of Trustees
(the “Board”) and an Executive Committee of eleven people, as follows:
Executive Committee
Walter C. Rakowich* — 52 — Chief Executive Officer of ProLogis since November 2008. Mr. Rakowich was ProLogis’ President
and Chief Operating Officer from January 2005 to November 2008 and ProLogis’ Chief Financial Officer from December 1998 to

Capital Management, Customer Service and Capital Deployment
We have a team of professionals dedicated to managing and leasing all the properties in our portfolio, which includes both direct-
owned properties and those owned by the property funds that we manage. Our marketing team comprises a network of regional
directors, market officers and property managers who are directly responsible for understanding and meeting the needs of existing and
prospective customers in their respective markets.
Our marketing team works closely with our Global Solutions Group to identify and accommodate customers with multiple market
requirements. The Global Solutions Group’s primary focus is to position us as the preferred provider of distribution space to large
users of industrial distribution space. The professionals in our Global Solutions Group also seek to build long-term relationships with
our existing customers by addressing their international distribution and logistics needs. The Global Solutions Group provides our
customers with outsourcing options for network optimization tools, strategic site selection assistance, business location services,
material handling equipment and design consulting services. The integration of our local market expertise with our global platform
enables us to better serve customers throughout all of our markets.
Our network of regional directors and market officers also leads our capital deployment efforts. They are responsible for deploying
our capital resources in an efficient and productive manner that will best serve our long-term objective of increasing shareholder
value. They evaluate acquisition, disposition and development opportunities in light of market conditions in their respective markets
and regions, and they work closely with the Global Development Group to, among other things, create master-planned distribution
parks utilizing the extensive experience of the Global Development Group. The Global Development Group incorporates the latest
technology with respect to building design and systems and has developed standards and procedures to which we strictly adhere in the
development of all properties to ensure that properties we develop are of a consistent quality.
We strive to build in accordance with the accepted green building rating system in all of our regions of operation. Beginning in 2008,
all of our new developments in the United States comply with the U.S. Green Building Council’s standards for Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED®). In the United Kingdom, since 2008, we have been committed to developing any new properties
to achieve at least a “Very Good” rating in accordance with the Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment
10
Method (BREEAM). In Japan, many of our facilities comply with the Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental
Efficiency (CASBEE). Where rating systems do not exist, we implement best practices learned from developing sustainable buildings
across our global portfolio. In total, counting all three rating systems, ProLogis has 55 buildings with 23.8 million square feet
(2.2 million square meters) of development registered or certified as green buildings.
Environmental Matters
We are exposed to various environmental risks that may result in unanticipated losses that could affect our operating results and
financial condition. Either the previous owners or we subjected a majority of the properties we have acquired, including land, to
environmental reviews. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the environmental
assessments has revealed an environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. See Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 and “Item 1A Risk Factors”.
Insurance Coverage
We carry insurance coverage on our properties. We determine the type of coverage and the policy specifications and limits based on
what we deem to be the risks associated with our ownership of properties and our business operations in specific markets. Such
coverages include property damage and rental loss insurance resulting from such perils as fire, additional perils as covered under an
extended coverage policy, named windstorm, flood, earthquake and terrorism; commercial general liability insurance; and
environmental insurance. Insurance is maintained through a combination of commercial insurance, self insurance and through a
wholly-owned captive insurance entity. We believe that our insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits that
are customary for similar properties, business activities and markets and we believe our properties are adequately insured. However,
an uninsured loss could result in loss of capital investment and anticipated profits.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and structure involve various risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
distributable cash flow and the value of our common shares. These risks include, among others:
General
The current market disruptions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
The global financial markets have been undergoing pervasive and fundamental disruptions since the third quarter of 2008. The
continuation or intensification of such volatility may lead to additional adverse impacts on the general availability of credit to
businesses and could lead to a further weakening of the U.S. and global economies. To the extent that turmoil in the financial markets
continues and/or intensifies, it has the potential to materially affect the value of our properties and our investments in our
unconsolidated investees, the availability or the terms of financing that we and our unconsolidated investees have or may anticipate
utilizing, our ability and that of our unconsolidated investees to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance, any outstanding
debt when due and/or may impact the ability of our customers to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under
existing leases.
The market volatility has made the valuation of our properties and those of our unconsolidated investees more difficult. There may be
significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties and those of our unconsolidated investees, that
could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties and those of our unconsolidated investees.
As a result, we may not be able to recover the current carrying amount of our properties, our investments in and advances to our
unconsolidated investees and/or goodwill, which may require us to recognize an impairment charge in earnings in addition to the
charges we recognized in 2009 and 2008. Additionally, certain of the fees we generate from our unconsolidated investees are
dependent upon the value of the properties held by the investees or the level of contributions we make to the investees. Therefore,
property value decreases have impacted and may continue to impact certain fees paid to us by our unconsolidated investees.
The pervasive and fundamental disruptions that the global financial markets have been experiencing has led to extensive and
unprecedented governmental intervention. It is impossible to predict what, if any, additional interim or permanent governmental
restrictions and/or increased regulation may be imposed on the financial markets and/or the effect of such restrictions and regulations
on us and our results of operations.
11
General Real Estate Risks
General economic conditions and other events or occurrences that affect areas in which our properties are geographically
concentrated, may impact financial results.
We are exposed to the general economic conditions, the local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other
events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties. Our operating performance is further impacted by the
economic conditions of the specific markets in which we have concentrations of properties. Approximately 24.3% of our direct owned
operating properties (based on our investment before depreciation) are located in California. Properties in California may be more
susceptible to certain types of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, brush fires, flooding and mudslides, than properties located in
other markets and a major natural disaster in California could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. We also have
significant holdings (defined as more than 3.0% of our total investment before depreciation in direct owned operating properties), in
certain markets located in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Jersey and Japan. Our operating performance could be adversely
affected if conditions become less favorable in any of the markets in which we have a concentration of properties. Conditions such as
an oversupply of distribution space or a reduction in demand for distribution space, among other factors, may impact operating
conditions. Any material oversupply of distribution space or material reduction in demand for distribution space could adversely affect
our results of operations, distributable cash flow and the value of our securities. In addition, the property funds and joint ventures in
which we have an ownership interest have concentrations of properties in the same markets mentioned above, as well as Pennsylvania,
Reno, France, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom and are subject to the economic conditions in those markets.
Real property investments are subject to risks that could adversely affect our business.
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. While we seek to minimize these risks through geographic
diversification of our portfolio, market research and our property management capabilities, these risks cannot be eliminated. Some of
the factors that may affect real estate values include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
local conditions, such as an oversupply of distribution space or a reduction in demand for distribution space in an area;
the attractiveness of our properties to potential customers;
competition from other available properties;
our ability to provide adequate maintenance of, and insurance on, our properties;
our ability to control rents and variable operating costs;
governmental regulations, including zoning, usage and tax laws and changes in these laws; and
potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning and other laws.
Our investments are concentrated in the industrial distribution sector and our business would be adversely affected by an economic
downturn in that sector or an unanticipated change in the supply chain dynamics.
Our investments in real estate assets are primarily concentrated in the industrial distribution sector. This concentration may expose us
to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities were more diversified.
Our real estate development strategies may not be successful.
We have developed a significant number of industrial properties since our inception. In late 2008, we scaled back our development
activities in response to current economic conditions and, in 2009, we have resumed development activity in a selective manner
through build-to-suit transactions on our land, including opportunities to use development capital or take out commitments from one
of our partners or customers.
As of December 31, 2009, we had 163 completed development properties that were 62.2% leased (19.1 million square feet of unleased
space) and we had 5 industrial properties under development that were 100.0% leased. As of December 31, 2009, we had
12
approximately $307.8 million of costs remaining to be spent related to our development portfolio to complete the development and
lease the space in these properties.
Additionally as of December 31, 2009, we had 10,360 acres of land with a current investment of $2.6 billion for potential future
development of industrial properties or other commercial real estate projects or for sale to third parties. Within our land positions, we
have concentrations in many of the same markets as our operating properties. Approximately 16.8% of our land (based on the current
investment balance) is in the United Kingdom. During 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $137.0 million, due to the decrease in
current estimated fair value of the land and increased probability that we will dispose of certain land parcels rather than develop as
previously planned. We will look to monetize the land in the future through sale to third parties, development of industrial properties
to hold for long-term investment or sale to an unconsolidated investee for development, depending on market conditions, our liquidity
needs and other factors.
We will be subject to risks associated with such development, leasing and disposition activities, all of which may adversely affect our
results of operations and available cash flow, including, but not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the risk that we may not be able to lease the available space in our recently completed developments at rents that are sufficient
to be profitable;
the risk that we will seek to sell certain land parcels and we will not be able to find a third party to acquire such land or that the
sales price will not allow us to recover our investment, resulting in additional impairment charges;
the risk that development opportunities explored by us may be abandoned and the related investment will be impaired;
the risk that we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, building, occupancy
and other governmental permits and authorizations;
the risk that due to the increased cost of land, our activities may not be as profitable;
the risk that construction costs of a property may exceed the original estimates, or that construction may not be concluded on
schedule, making the project less profitable than originally estimated or not profitable at all; including the possibility of
contract default, the effects of local weather conditions, the possibility of local or national strikes by construction-related labor
and the possibility of shortages in materials, building supplies or energy and fuel for equipment; and
the risk that occupancy levels and the rents that can be earned for a completed project will not be sufficient to make the project
profitable.
Our business strategy to provide liquidity to reduce debt by contributing properties to property funds or disposing of properties to
third parties may not be successful.
Our ability to contribute or sell properties on advantageous terms is affected by competition from other owners of properties that are
trying to dispose of their properties; current market conditions, including the capitalization rates applicable to our properties; and other
factors beyond our control. The property funds or third parties who might acquire our properties may need to have access to debt and
equity capital, in the private and public markets, in order to acquire properties from us. Should the property funds or third parties have
limited or no access to capital on favorable terms, then contributions and dispositions could be delayed resulting in adverse effects on
our liquidity, results of operations, distributable cash flow, debt covenant ratios, and the value of our securities.
We may acquire properties, which involves risks that could adversely affect our operating results and the value of our securities.
We may acquire industrial properties in our direct owned segment. The acquisition of properties involves risks, including the risk that
the acquired property will not perform as anticipated and that any actual costs for rehabilitation, repositioning, renovation and
improvements identified in the pre-acquisition due diligence process will exceed estimates. There is, and it is expected there will
continue to be, significant competition for properties that meet our investment criteria as well as risks associated with obtaining
financing for acquisition activities.
Our operating results and distributable cash flow will depend on the continued generation of lease revenues from customers.
13
Our operating results and distributable cash flow would be adversely affected if a significant number of our customers were unable to
meet their lease obligations. We are also subject to the risk that, upon the expiration of leases for space located in our properties,
leases may not be renewed by existing customers, the space may not be re-leased to new customers or the terms of renewal or re-
leasing (including the cost of required renovations or concessions to customers) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms.
In the event of default by a significant number of customers, we may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing our
rights as landlord. A customer may experience a downturn in its business, which may cause the loss of the customer or may weaken its
financial condition, resulting in the customer’s failure to make rental payments when due or requiring a restructuring that might reduce
cash flow from the lease. In addition, a customer may seek the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, which could
result in the rejection and termination of such customer’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in our available cash flow.
Our ability to renew leases or re-lease space on favorable terms as leases expire significantly affects our business.
Our results of operations, distributable cash flow and the value of our securities would be adversely affected if we were unable to
lease, on economically favorable terms, a significant amount of space in our operating properties. We have 28.4 million square feet of
industrial and retail space (out of a total of 155.2 million occupied square feet representing 15.3% of total annual base rents) with
leases that expire in 2010, including 4.4 million square feet of leases that are on a month-to-month basis. In addition, our
unconsolidated investees have a combined 37.4 million square feet of industrial space (out of a total 254.9 million occupied square
feet representing 13.0% of total annual base rent) with leases that expire in 2010, including 5.5 million square feet of leases that are on
a month-to-month basis. The number of industrial and retail properties in a market or submarket could adversely affect both our ability
to re-lease the space and the rental rates that can be obtained in new leases.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of assets, which may reduce economic returns to investors.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of investments and this lack of liquidity may limit our ability to react promptly
to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as
mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in
income from the investments. Like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Code, we are only able to hold property for sale in
the ordinary course of business through taxable REIT subsidiaries in order to avoid punitive taxation on the gain from the sale of such
property. While we are planning to dispose of certain properties that have been held for investment in order to generate liquidity, if we
do not satisfy certain safe harbors or if we believe there is too much risk of incurring the punitive tax on the gain from the sale, we
may not pursue such sales.
Our insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.
We and our unconsolidated investees currently carry insurance coverage including property damage and rental loss insurance resulting
from such perils as fire, additional perils as covered under an extended coverage policy, named windstorm, flood, earthquake and
terrorism; commercial general liability insurance; and environmental insurance, as appropriate for the markets where each of our
properties and business operations are located. The insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily
carried for similar properties, business activities and markets. We believe our properties and the properties of our unconsolidated
investees, including the property funds, are adequately insured. However, there are certain losses, including losses from floods,
earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against
because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs
with respect to one or more of our properties, we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues in these
properties and could potentially remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property.
We are exposed to various environmental risks that may result in unanticipated losses that could affect our operating results and
financial condition.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner, developer or operator of real
estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator
knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous substances.
A majority of the properties we acquire are subjected to environmental reviews either by us or by the predecessor owners. In addition,
we may incur environmental remediation costs associated with certain land parcels we acquire in connection with the development of
the land. In connection with the merger in 2005 with Catellus Development Corporation (“Catellus”), we acquired certain properties in
14
urban and industrial areas that may have been leased to, or previously owned by, commercial and industrial companies that discharged
hazardous materials. We established a liability at the time of acquisition to cover such costs. We adjust the liabilities, as appropriate,
when additional information becomes available. We purchase various environmental insurance policies to mitigate our exposure to
environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
We cannot give any assurance that other such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. The presence of such substances
on our real estate properties could adversely affect our ability to lease or sell such properties or to borrow using such properties as
collateral and may have an adverse effect on our distributable cash flow.
We are exposed to the potential impacts of future climate change and climate-change related risks
We consider that we are exposed to potential physical risks from possible future changes in climate. Our distribution facilities may be
exposed to rare catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms and/or floods. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases
due to climate change, our exposure to these events could increase.
We do not currently consider our company to be exposed to regulatory risks related to climate change, as our operations do not emit a
significant amount of greenhouse gases. However, we may be adversely impacted as a real estate developer in the future by stricter
energy efficiency standards for buildings.
Risks Related to Financing and Capital
Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to make required payments on our debt or
are unable to refinance our debt.
We are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet
required payments of principal and interest. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness,
that such refinancing would be on terms as favorable as the terms of the maturing indebtedness, or we will be able to otherwise obtain
funds by selling assets or raising equity to make required payments on maturing indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance our
indebtedness at maturity or meet our payment obligations, the amount of our distributable cash flow and our financial condition would
be adversely affected and, if the maturing debt is secured, the lender may foreclose on the property securing such indebtedness. Our
credit facilities and certain other debt bears interest at variable rates. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense
under these agreements. In addition, our unconsolidated investees have short-term debt that was used to acquire properties from us or
third parties and other maturing indebtedness. If these investees are unable to refinance their indebtedness or meet their payment
obligations, it may impact our distributable cash flow and our financial condition and/or we may be required to recognize impairment
charges to our investments similar to those we recognized in 2009.
Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and breaches of these covenants could adversely affect our financial
condition.
The terms of our various credit agreements, including our credit facilities, the indenture under which our senior notes are issued and
other note agreements, require us to comply with a number of customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service
coverage, leverage ratios, fixed charge ratios and other operating covenants including maintaining insurance coverage. In addition, our
credit facility contains various covenants and certain borrowing limitations based on the value of our unencumbered property pool (as
defined in the agreement). These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in
defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness. If we default under our covenant provisions and are unable to
cure the default, refinance our indebtedness or meet our payment obligations, the amount of our distributable cash flow and our
financial condition would be adversely affected.
Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect our cash flows.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. In addition, we
have a consolidated subsidiary that has elected to be taxed as a REIT and certain unconsolidated investees that are REITs and are
subject to all the risks pertaining to the REIT structure, discussed herein. To maintain REIT status, we must meet a number of highly
technical requirements on a continuing basis. Those requirements seek to ensure, among other things, that the gross income and
investments of a REIT are largely real estate related, that a REIT distributes substantially all of its ordinary taxable income to
shareholders on a current basis and that the REIT’s equity ownership is not overly concentrated. Due to the complex nature of these
15
rules, the available guidance concerning interpretation of the rules, the importance of ongoing factual determinations and the
possibility of adverse changes in the law, administrative interpretations of the law and changes in our business, no assurance can be
given that we, or our REIT subsidiaries, will qualify as a REIT for any particular period.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will be taxed as a regular corporation, and distributions to shareholders will not be deductible in
computing our taxable income. The resulting corporate income tax liabilities could materially reduce our cash flow and funds
available for dividends and/or reinvestment. Moreover, we might not be able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years
after the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. In addition, if we later requalified as a REIT, we might be required to pay
a full corporate-level tax on any unrealized gains in our assets as of the date of requalification, or upon subsequent disposition, and to
make distributions to our shareholders equal to any earnings accumulated during the period of non-REIT status.
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our financial condition.
To maintain qualification as a REIT under the Code, generally a REIT must annually distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its
REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. This requirement limits our
ability to accumulate capital and, therefore, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution
requirements. Difficulties in meeting the distribution requirements might arise due to competing demands for our funds or to timing
differences between tax reporting and cash receipts and disbursements, because income may have to be reported before cash is
received or because expenses may have to be paid before a deduction is allowed. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”)
may make a determination in connection with the settlement of an audit by the IRS that increases taxable income or disallows or limits
deductions taken thereby increasing the distribution we are required to make. In those situations, we might be required to borrow
funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet the distribution requirements and interest and penalties could apply, which
could adversely affect our financial condition. If we fail to make a required distribution, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.
Prohibited transaction income could result from certain property transfers.
We contribute properties to property funds and sell properties to third parties from the REIT and from taxable REIT subsidiaries
(“TRS”). Under the Code, a disposition of a property from other than a TRS could be deemed a prohibited transaction. In such case, a
100% penalty tax on the resulting gain could be assessed. The determination that a transaction constitutes a prohibited transaction is
based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The IRS could contend that certain contributions or sales of
properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we do not believe the IRS would prevail in such a dispute, if the IRS successfully
argued the matter, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the gains from these transactions, which may be significant.
Additionally, any gain from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a
REIT.
Liabilities recorded for pre-existing tax audits may not be sufficient.
We are subject to a pending audit by the IRS for the 2003 through 2005 income tax returns of Catellus, including certain of its
subsidiaries and partnerships. We have recorded an accrual for the liabilities that may arise from these audits. See Note 15 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. The finalization of the remaining audits may result in an adjustment in which the actual
liabilities or settlement costs, including interest and potential penalties, if any, may prove to be more than the liability we have
recorded.
Uncertainties relating to Catellus’ estimate of its “earnings and profits” attributable to C-corporation taxable years may have an
adverse effect on our distributable cash flow.
In order to qualify as a REIT, a REIT cannot have at the end of any REIT taxable year any undistributed earnings and profits that are
attributable to a C-corporation taxable year. A REIT has until the close of its first full taxable year as a REIT in which it has non-REIT
earnings and profits to distribute these accumulated earnings and profits. Because Catellus’ first full taxable year as a REIT was 2004,
Catellus was required to distribute these earnings and profits prior to the end of 2004. Failure to meet this requirement would result in
Catellus’ disqualification as a REIT. Catellus distributed its accumulated non-REIT earnings and profits in December 2003, well in
advance of the 2004 year-end deadline, and believed that this distribution was sufficient to distribute all of its non-REIT earnings and
profits. However, the determination of non-REIT earnings and profits is complicated and depends upon facts with respect to which
Catellus may have less than complete information or the application of the law governing earnings and profits, which is subject to
differing interpretations, or both. Consequently, there are substantial uncertainties relating to the estimate of Catellus’ non-REIT
earnings and profits, and we cannot be assured that the earnings and profits distribution requirement has been met. These uncertainties
include the possibility that the IRS could upon audit, as discussed above, increase the taxable income of Catellus, which would
increase the non-REIT earnings and profits of Catellus. There can be no assurances that we have satisfied the requirement that
16
Catellus distribute all of its non-REIT earnings and profits by the close of its first taxable year as a REIT, and therefore, this may have
an adverse effect on our distributable cash flow.
There are potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities that could affect our operating results or financial condition.
Palmtree Acquisition Corporation, our subsidiary that was the surviving corporation in the merger with Catellus in 2005, is subject to
a federal corporate level tax at the highest regular corporate rate (currently 35%) and potential state taxes on any gain recognized
within ten years of Catellus’ conversion to a REIT from a disposition of any assets that Catellus held at the effective time of its
election to be a REIT, but only to the extent of the built-in-gain based on the fair market value of those assets on the effective date of
the REIT election (which was January 1, 2004). Gain from a sale of an asset occurring more than 10 years after the REIT conversion
will not be subject to this corporate-level tax. We do not currently expect to dispose of any asset of the surviving corporation in the
merger if such disposition would result in the imposition of a material tax liability unless we can affect a tax-deferred exchange of the
property. However, certain assets are subject to third party purchase options that may require us to sell such assets, and those assets
may carry deferred tax liabilities that would be triggered on such sales. We have recorded deferred tax liabilities related to these built-
in-gains. There can be no assurances that our plans in this regard will not change and, if such plans do change or if a purchase option
is exercised, that we will be successful in structuring a tax-deferred exchange.
Other Risks
We are dependent on key personnel.
Our executive and other senior officers have a significant role in our success. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract
suitable replacements should any members of the management group leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment
market. The loss of services from key members of the management group or a limitation in their availability could adversely affect our
financial condition and cash flow. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.
Share prices may be affected by market interest rates.
Our current quarterly distribution is $0.15 per common share. The annual distribution rate on common shares as a percentage of our
market price may influence the trading price of such common shares. An increase in market interest rates may lead investors to
demand a higher annual distribution rate than we have set, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.
As a global company, we are subject to social, political and economic risks of doing business in foreign countries.
We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside of the United States. During
2009, we generated approximately 34% of our revenue from operations outside the United States, primarily due to proceeds from the
sale of our investments in the Japan funds. Circumstances and developments related to international operations that could negatively
affect our business, financial condition or results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following factors:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations in certain regions;
currency restrictions, which may prevent the transfer of capital and profits to the United States;
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
potentially adverse tax consequences;
the responsibility of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws, e.g., with respect to corrupt practices,
employment and licensing;
the impact of regional or country-specific business cycles and economic instability;
political instability, civil unrest, drug trafficking, political activism or the continuation or escalation of terrorist or gang
activities (particularly with respect to our operations in Mexico); and
foreign ownership restrictions with respect to operations in countries.
17
Although we have committed substantial resources to expand our global development platform, if we are unable to successfully
manage the risks associated with our global business or to adequately manage operational fluctuations, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be harmed.
In addition, our international operations and, specifically, the ability of our non-U.S. subsidiaries to dividend or otherwise transfer
cash among our subsidiaries, including transfers of cash to pay interest and principal on our debt, may be affected by currency
exchange control regulations, transfer pricing regulations and potentially adverse tax consequences, among other things.
The depreciation in the value of the foreign currency in countries where we have a significant investment may adversely affect our
results of operations and financial position.
We have pursued, and intend to continue to pursue, growth opportunities in international markets where the U.S. dollar is not the
national currency. At December 31, 2009, approximately 42% of our total assets are invested in a currency other than the U.S. dollar,
primarily the euro, Japanese yen and British pound sterling. As a result, we are subject to foreign currency risk due to potential
fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. A significant change in the value of the foreign currency
of one or more countries where we have a significant investment may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial position. Although we attempt to mitigate adverse effects by borrowing under debt agreements denominated in foreign
currencies and, on occasion and when deemed appropriate, using derivative contracts, there can be no assurance that those attempts to
mitigate foreign currency risk will be successful.
We are subject to governmental regulations and actions that affect operating results and financial condition.
Many laws, including tax laws, and governmental regulations apply to us, our unconsolidated investees and our properties. Changes in
these laws and governmental regulations, or their interpretation by agencies or the courts, could occur, which might affect our ability
to conduct business.
ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
ITEM 2. Properties
We have directly invested in real estate assets that are primarily generic industrial properties. In Japan, our industrial properties are
generally multi-level centers, which is common in Japan due to the high cost and limited availability of land. Our properties are
typically used for storage, packaging, assembly, distribution, and light manufacturing of consumer and industrial products. Based on
the square footage of our operating properties in the direct owned segment at December 31, 2009, our properties are 99.5% industrial
properties; including 92.1% used for bulk distribution, 6.5% used for light manufacturing and assembly, and 0.9% used for other
purposes, primarily service centers, while the remaining 0.5% of our properties are retail.
At December 31, 2009, we owned 1,215 operating properties in our direct owned segment; including 1,188 industrial properties
located in North America, Europe, and Asia and 27 retail properties in North America. In North America, our properties are located in
32 markets in 19 states in the United States and the District of Columbia, 6 markets in Mexico and 1 market in Canada. Our properties
are located in 28 markets in 12 countries in Europe and 6 markets in 2 countries in Asia.
Geographic Distribution
For this presentation, we define our markets based on the concentration of properties in a specific area. A market, as defined by us,
can be a metropolitan area, a city, a subsection of a metropolitan area, a subsection of a city or a region of a state or country.
Properties
The information in the following tables is as of December 31, 2009 for the operating properties, properties under development and
land we own, including 84 buildings owned by entities we consolidate but of which we own less than 100%. All of these assets are
included in our direct owned segment. This includes our development portfolio of operating properties we developed or are currently
developing. No individual property or group of properties operating as a single business unit amounted to 10% or more of our
consolidated total assets at December 31, 2009. No individual property or group of properties operating as a single business unit
generated income equal to 10% or more of our consolidated gross revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. These tables do not
18
include properties that are owned by property funds or other unconsolidated investees, which are discussed under “— Unconsolidated
Investees”.

5 below for information regarding developed properties).
(2) Certain properties are pledged as security under our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds at December 31, 2009. For
purposes of this table, the total principal balance of a debt issuance that is secured by a pool of properties is allocated among the
properties in the pool based on each property’s investment balance. In addition to the amounts reflected here, we also have
$1.1 million of encumbrances related to other real estate assets not included in the direct owned segment. See Schedule III —
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional identification of the
properties pledged.

transactions involving operating properties ($45.6 million); (ii) certain infrastructure costs related to projects we are developing
on behalf of others; (iii) costs incurred related to future development projects, including purchase options on land; (iv) costs
related to our corporate office buildings, which we occupy; and (v) earnest money deposits associated with potential acquisitions.
Unconsolidated Investees
At December 31, 2009, our investments in and advances to unconsolidated investees totaled $2.2 billion. The property funds totaled
$1.9 billion and the industrial and retail joint ventures totaled $134.0 million at December 31, 2009 and are all included in our
investment management segment. The remaining unconsolidated investees totaled $141.1 million at December 31, 2009 and are not
included in either of our reportable segments.
Investment Management Segment
At December 31, 2009, our ownership interests range from 20% to 50% in 15 property funds and several other entities that are
presented under the equity method. We act as manager of each of these entities. We also have an ownership interest in a joint venture
that we manage and do not account for under the equity method. These entities primarily own or are developing industrial properties.
The information provided in the table below (dollars and square footage in thousands) is only for our unconsolidated entities included
in this segment with operating industrial properties and represents the total entity, not just our proportionate share. See “Item 1

On February 19, 2010, we had approximately 474,204,900 common shares outstanding, which were held of record by approximately
7,900 shareholders.
Distributions and Dividends
In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, we are generally required to make common share distributions and
preferred share dividends (other than capital gain distributions) to our shareholders in amounts that together at least equal (i) the sum
of (a) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and (b) 90%
of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (ii) certain excess non-cash income. Our common share
distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow that ensures that we will meet the distribution requirements of the
Code and that allows us to maximize the cash retained to meet other cash needs, such as capital improvements and other investment
activities.
The payment of common share distributions is dependent upon our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution
requirements and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
In addition to common shares, we have issued cumulative redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest. At December 31, 2009,
we had three series of 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 limited voting rights, subject to certain conditions, and are
entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends based upon each series’ respective liquidation preference. Such dividends are
23
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December. Dividends on preferred shares are payable
when, and if, they have been declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for payment of dividends. After the respective
redemption dates, each series of preferred shares can be redeemed at our 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 ours, 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 our other series of preferred shares. Annual per share dividends paid on
each series of preferred shares were as follows for the periods indicated:
Series C Preferred Shares .........................................................................................................................
Series F Preferred Shares ..........................................................................................................................

Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to our 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.
For more information regarding our distributions and dividends, see Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
For information regarding securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans see Notes 11 and 12 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Other Shareholder Matters
Other Issuances of Common Shares
In 2009, we issued 413,500 common shares, upon exchange of limited partnership units in our majority-owned and consolidated real
estate partnerships. These common shares were issued in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933.
Common Share Plans
We have approximately $84.1 million remaining on our Board authorization to repurchase common shares that began in 2001. We
have not repurchased our common shares since 2003.
See our 2010 Proxy Statement for further information relative to our equity compensation plans.

(1) Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard related to our convertible debt that resulted in the restatement
of 2008 and 2007 amounts. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information.
(2) Changes in global economic conditions in late 2008 resulted in changes to our business strategy, including the elimination of our
CDFS segment. During 2009, we contributed and sold certain properties. However, they are now reflected as net gains, rather
than revenues, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and as cash provided by investing activities, rather than operating.
See our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information.
25
(3) During 2009, we recognized impairment charges of $331.6 million on certain of our real estate properties, $143.6 million on
certain of our unconsolidated investments, and $20.0 million related to other assets. During 2008, we recognized impairment
charges of $274.7 million on certain of our real estate properties, $175.4 million related to goodwill, $113.7 million on certain of
our unconsolidated investments, $31.5 million related to other assets, and our share of impairment charges recorded by an
unconsolidated investee of $108.2 million. See our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information.
(4) Discontinued operations include income (loss) attributable to assets held for sale and disposed properties, net gains recognized on
the disposition of properties to third parties and, in 2008, an impairment charge of $198.2 million as a result of our sale in
February 2009 of our China operations. Amounts in 2005 include impairment charges related to temperature controlled
distribution assets of $25.2 million.
(5) Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure that is commonly used
in the real estate industry. 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 meaningfully reflect their
business. FFO, as we define it, is presented as a supplemental financial measure. FFO is not used by us 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 that our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP,
provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our operating performance.
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 that 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. Our FFO measures are discussed in “Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Funds From Operations”.
ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report
and the matters described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
Management’s Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT that owns, operates and develops real estate properties, primarily industrial
properties, in North America, Europe and Asia (directly and through our unconsolidated investees). Our business is primarily driven
by requirements for modern, well-located industrial space in key global distribution locations. Our focus on our customers’ needs has
enabled us to become a leading global provider of industrial distribution properties.
Our business strategy currently includes two operating segments: direct owned and investment management. Our direct owned
segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial and retail properties. Our investment management segment represents
the long-term investment management of property funds and certain other unconsolidated investees, and the properties they own. We
generate revenues; earnings; FFO, as defined at the end of Item 7; and cash flows through our segments primarily as follows:
•
Direct Owned Segment-We earn rent from our customers, including reimbursements of certain operating costs, under long-
term operating leases for the properties that we own. The revenue in this segment has decreased due to contribution of
properties to property funds and a decrease in rental rates on turnover, offset partially with increases in occupancy levels within
our development portfolio. Rental revenues generated by the lease-up of newly developed properties have not been adequate to
offset the loss of rental revenues from the decrease in the property portfolio. We expect our total revenues from this segment to
increase slightly in 2010 through increases in occupied square feet predominantly in our development portfolio, offset partially
with decreases from contributions of properties we made in 2009 or may make in 2010. We anticipate the increases in occupied
26
square feet to come from leases that were signed in 2009, but have not commenced occupancy, and future leasing activity in
2010. Our development portfolio, including completed development properties and those currently under development, was
64.3% leased at December 31, 2009 and 41.4% leased at December 31, 2008. Our intent is to hold the properties in our direct
owned segment for long-term investment, including the development of new properties utilizing our existing land. However,
we may contribute certain properties to a property fund or sell land or properties to third parties, depending on market
conditions and liquidity needs.
•
Investment Management Segment — We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or losses from our investments in
unconsolidated property funds and certain joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method. In addition, we
recognize fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of these and other entities. We provide services to these
entities, which may include property management, asset management, leasing, acquisition, financing and development. We
may also earn incentives from our property funds depending on the return provided to the fund partners over a specified period.
As discussed earlier, on December 31, 2008, all of the assets and liabilities in the CDFS business segment were transferred into our
two remaining segments. In 2009, we recognized income from the previously deferred gains from the Japan property funds that were
deferred upon original contributions and triggered with the sale of our investments. During 2008 and 2007, our CDFS business
segment primarily encompassed our development or acquisition of real estate properties that were subsequently contributed to a
property fund in which we had an ownership interest and managed, or sold to third parties.
Summary of 2009
In late 2008, we modified our business strategy to adjust to the global financial market and economic disruptions at that time. This
new strategy entailed limiting our development activities to conserve capital and focus on strengthening our balance sheet.
Narrowing our focus allowed us to work on specific goals we set forth for 2009, which were to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
reduce debt by $2.0 billion;
recast our global line of credit;
complete the properties under development as of the end of 2008 and focus on leasing our total development portfolio;
manage our core portfolio of industrial distribution properties to maintain and improve our net operating income stream from
these assets;
generate liquidity through contributions of properties to our property funds and through sales of real estate to third parties; and
reduce gross G&A by 20% to 25%.
Since December 31, 2008, we have achieved each of these goals, including reducing our debt by $2.7 billion, through the following
activities:
Debt activity (all are discussed in further detail below under “- Liquidity and Capital Resources”):
•
•
•
•
•
In August 2009, we amended and restated our global line of credit (“Global Line”), extending the maturity to August 2012 and
reducing the size of our aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations), after October 2010.
On October 1, 2009, pursuant to a consent solicitation and to support our objective of simplifying our debt structure, we
amended certain covenants and events of default related to certain of our senior notes.
During 2009, we issued five- and ten-year senior notes for a total of $950.0 million.
During 2009, we closed on $499.9 million of secured mortgage debt in five separate transactions.
In 2009, we repurchased certain senior and other notes and secured mortgage debt that resulted in the recognition of a gain of
$172.3 million and reduced our debt obligations by $242.1 million.
27
Equity issuances:
•
•
On April 14, 2009, we completed a public offering of 174.8 million common shares at a price of $6.60 per share and received
net proceeds of $1.1 billion (“Equity Offering”).
During the third quarter, we generated net proceeds of $325.1 million from the issuance of 29.8 million common shares under
our at-the-market equity issuance program, after payment of $6.9 million of commissions to the sales agent.
Asset dispositions and contributions:
•
•
•
We generated $1.3 billion of cash from the sale of our China operations ($845.5 million) and our investments in the Japan
property funds ($500.0 million) in the first quarter of 2009. We entered into a sale agreement in December 2008, at which time
we recorded an impairment charge of $198.2 million on our China operations and classified the assets and liabilities as held for
sale.
In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a net gain of $180.2 million and
$20.5 million of current income tax expense. The gain is reflected as CDFS proceeds as it represents the recognition of
previously deferred gains on the contributions of properties to the property funds based on our ownership interest in the
property fund at the time of original contributions.
During 2009, we generated aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from the contribution of 43 properties to ProLogis European
Properties Fund II, and the sale of land parcels and 140 properties to third parties.
Other:
•
•
We reduced our gross G&A by 26.5% in 2009 from 2008, through various cost savings initiatives, including a RIF program.
We executed leasing in our development portfolio in 2009, including completed properties and properties under development,
increasing the leased percentage to 64.3% at December 31, 2009 from 41.4% at the beginning of the year.
Objectives for 2010
Now that we have achieved our goals for 2009, we believe we are in a better liquidity position and can focus on our longer-term
strategy of conservative growth through the ownership, management and development of industrial properties with a concentrated
focus on customer service. Included in our objectives for 2010 and beyond are to:
•
•
•
retain more of our development assets in order to improve the geographic diversification of our direct owned properties as most
of our planned developments are in international markets;
monetize our investment in land of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2009; and
continue to focus on staggering and extending our debt maturities.
We plan to accomplish these objectives by generating proceeds through selective sales of completed real estate properties (primarily
located in the U.S.) and land parcels, and limited contribution of development properties to the property funds. We will use these
proceeds to fund our development activities, which will allow us to respond to new build-to-suit opportunities to better serve our
customers and to transition our non-income producing land into income producing properties. We will continue to focus on leasing the
unleased portion of our development portfolio (representing 53.5 million square feet at December 31, 2009 that was 64.3% leased).

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard related to our convertible debt that resulted in the restatement of
2008 and 2007 amounts (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information). Also, see Note 20 to
our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding our segments and a reconciliation of net
operating income to earnings (loss) before income taxes.
We began to experience the effects from the global financial market and economic disruptions in late 2008, which resulted in changes
to our business strategy. In order to generate liquidity, we identified certain real estate properties that we no longer expected to hold
for long-term investment. We recognized impairment charges in 2009 and 2008 due to the change in our intent and based on
valuations of that real estate, which had declined due to market conditions. The impairment charges related to goodwill and other
assets that we recognized in 2009 and 2008 were similarly caused by the decline in the real estate markets. The decline in the real
estate markets has also led to lower profit margins on contributions and sales. The financial market disruption also provided us the
opportunity to repurchase some of our debt at a discount, resulting in a net gain.
Our direct owned portfolio has decreased each year since 2007, principally from the contributions of properties to the unconsolidated
property funds. This portfolio decrease impacts our direct owned segment through the decrease in net operating income. Occupancy
levels also affect net operating income for this segment. We have begun to see an increase in leasing activity in 2009, after declines in
2008.
In February 2009, we sold our investment in the Japan funds, which were included in the Investment Management segment, and
continued to manage the properties until July 2009. In connection with the termination of the management agreement, we earned a
termination fee of $16.3 million. In 2008, we recognized a loss of $108.2 million representing our share of the loss recognized by
PEPR upon the sale and impairment of its ownership interests in ProLogis European Properties Fund II (“PEPF II”). We also
recognized our share of realized and unrealized losses of $32.3 million related to interest rate derivative contracts held by certain
property funds. In 2007, we recognized $38.2 million that represented our proportionate share of a gain recognized by PEPR from the
sale of certain properties. Without these items in 2009, 2008 and 2007, net operating income from this segment in 2009 decreased
$17.2 million from 2008 and increased $32.4 million in 2008 compared to 2007.
As discussed earlier, we changed our business strategy in late 2008 and discontinued the CDFS business segment. In 2009, the only
transaction in this segment is the gain from the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds in February 2009. The decrease in
net operating income from this segment in 2008 compared to 2007 is due to decreased contribution levels and lower profit margins.
29
Direct Owned Segment
The net operating income of the direct owned segment consists of rental income and rental expenses from industrial and retail
properties that we own and land subject to ground leases. The size and leased percentage of our direct owned operating portfolio
fluctuates due to the timing of development and contributions and affects the net operating income we recognize in this segment. Also
included in this segment is land we own and lease to customers under ground leases, development management and other income and
land holding and acquisition costs. The net operating income from the direct owned segment, excluding amounts presented as
discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements, was as follows (in thousands):
Rental and other income .................................................................................................................. $ 900,082 $ 939,507 $ 996,340

and therefore, are no longer in our portfolio as of December 31, 2009. The leased percentage fluctuates based on the composition
of properties.

Number of
Properties
The decrease in rental income in 2009 from 2008, and in 2008 from 2007, is due to the decrease in the property portfolio, which is a
result of contributions of properties to the unconsolidated property funds and decreases in rental rates on turnovers, offset partially by
increased occupancy in our development properties; and changes in rental recoveries. Under the terms of our lease agreements, we are
able to recover the majority of our rental expenses from customers. Rental expense recoveries, included in both rental income and
expenses, were $194.8 million, $210.9 million and $197.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
respectively. The decrease from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to the decrease in the property portfolio. In addition to the decreased
recoverable expenses, property management costs and certain non-recoverable costs have decreased as well. The non-recoverable
costs in 2008 include a $6.0 million insurance adjustment due to a tornado that struck certain properties owned by us and owned by
the property funds and insured by us through our insurance company.
Investment Management Segment
The net operating income of the investment management segment consists of: (i) earnings or losses recognized under the equity
method from our investments in property funds and certain joint ventures; (ii) fees and incentives earned for services performed; and
(iii) interest earned on advances; offset by (iv) our direct costs of managing these entities and the properties they own.
The net earnings or losses of the unconsolidated investees may 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 tax expense; (v) foreign currency exchange gains and losses; (vi) gains or losses on dispositions
of properties or investments; and (vii) impairment charges. The fluctuations in income we recognize in any given period are generally
the result of: (i) variances in the income and expense items of the unconsolidated investees; (ii) the size of the portfolio and occupancy
levels; (iii) changes in our ownership interest; and (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates at which we translate our share
of net earnings to U.S. dollars, if applicable.
We report the costs associated with our investment management segment for all periods presented as a separate line item Investment
Management Expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations of $43.4 million, $50.8 million and $33.9 million in 2009, 2008
30
and 2007, respectively. These costs include the direct expenses associated with the asset management of the property funds provided
individuals who are assigned to our investment management segment. In addition, in order to achieve efficiencies and economies of
scale, all of our property management functions are provided by a team of professionals who are assigned to our direct owned
segment. These individuals perform the property-level management of the properties we own and the properties we manage that are
owned by the unconsolidated investees. We allocate the costs of our property management function to the properties we own (reported
in Rental Expenses) and the properties owned by the unconsolidated investees (included in Investment Management Expenses), by
using the square feet owned at the beginning of the period by the respective portfolios. The increases in 2008 were due to the
increased size of our investment management portfolio, while the decrease in 2009 was due to the sale of our Japan investments.
See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional information on our unconsolidated investees.
The net operating income from the investment management segment for the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands):

____________
(1) Represents the income earned by us from our investments in 12 property funds in North America. Our ownership interests ranged
from 20% to 50% at December 31, 2009. These property funds on a combined basis owned 847, 854 and 777 properties that were
91.9%, 94.7% and 96.1% leased at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The fluctuation in properties is primarily
due to contributions we made to two of the funds (North American Industrial Fund and Mexico Industrial Fund) in 2007 and
2008, offset by the sale of properties to third parties by certain funds in 2009.

Included in 2009 are $15.8 million of expenses that represent our share of deferred tax expense recognized by the Mexico
Industrial Fund and $6.3 million of losses that represents our share of realized and unrealized losses that were recognized by
certain of the property funds related to derivative contracts that no longer met the requirements for hedge accounting. These
expenses are offset by $7.2 million that represents our share of the gain from the early extinguishment of debt by the North
American Industrial Fund.
Included in 2008 are $28.2 million of losses that relate to the change in value and settlement of derivative contracts.
(2) Represents the income earned by us from our investments in two property funds in Europe, PEPR and PEPF II. On a combined
basis, these funds owned 428, 399 and 288 properties that were 96.3%, 97.6% and 97.7% leased at December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively. The increase in properties for all three years is due primarily to contributions we made to PEPF II, offset
somewhat by the sale of properties by PEPR to third parties.
Our common ownership interest in PEPR and PEPF II was 24.8% and 32.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2009. At
December 31, 2008, our ownership interest in PEPR was 24.9% and our ownership interest in PEPF II included our direct
ownership interest of 34.3% and our indirect 2.6% interest through our ownership in PEPR.
Included in 2008 are $108.2 million of losses representing our share of losses recognized by PEPR on the sale of its 20%
investment in PEPF II to us and an impairment charge related to the sale of its remaining 10% interest. In February 2009, PEPR
sold its 10% interest to a third party, which decreased our ownership interest in PEPF II to 34.3%.
(3) Represents the income earned by us from our 20% ownership interest in one property fund in South Korea and two property
funds in Japan through February 2009, at which time we sold our investments in Japan. These property funds on a combined
basis owned 12, 83 and 66 properties that were 97.8%, 99.6% and 99.3% leased at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
(4) Includes property management fees from joint ventures and other entities offset by investment management expenses. 2009
includes fees earned from the Japan property funds after February 2009 through July 2009 and, in connection with the
termination of the property management agreement for these properties, we earned a termination fee of $16.3 million.
31
CDFS Business Segment
Net operating income of the CDFS business segment for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $180.2 million, $654.7 million and $763.7 million,
respectively. As previously discussed, our business strategy no longer includes the CDFS business segment. The amount in 2009 is the
gain from the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds in February 2009, while the amounts in 2008 and 2007 consisted of
gains recognized principally from the contributions of 180 properties and 262 properties, respectively, to the property funds.
Operational Outlook
During 2009, industrial property fundamentals continued to mirror the global economic weakness. We are experiencing a very
challenging leasing environment throughout the majority of our markets with increased leasing costs and lower rental rates due to the
competitive markets. Partially offsetting the impact of these market trends on our business is our continued strong customer retention.
However, during the third quarter of 2009 and into the fourth quarter, the global market fundamentals began to show signs of stability.
Globally, industrial demand is still soft, but we are seeing signs of increased customer activity. Market occupancy declines are slowing
globally and leasing activity has increased. Market rents remain lower than a year ago and we expect this to remain the case in the
near future. However, we believe this situation will reverse itself when market occupancies trend upward.
The industry as a whole has had sharply reduced levels of new supply. We expect demand in the U.S. to improve as Gross Domestic
Product (“GDP”) growth returns. We believe significant obsolescence and ownership shifts in Europe and Asia will continue to drive
demand in those regions.
In our total operating portfolio, including properties managed by us and owned by our unconsolidated investees that are accounted for
under the equity method, we leased 108.1 million square feet, 121.5 million square feet, and 108.6 million square feet of space during
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total operating portfolio was 89.2% leased at December 31, 2009, as compared to 88.4%
leased at December 31, 2008.
In our direct owned portfolio, we leased 57.9 million square feet, including 21.1 million square feet of leases in our development
portfolio (both completed properties and those under development) in 2009. Repeat business with our global customers is important to
our long-term growth. During 2009, 57.4% of the space leased in our newly developed properties was with repeat customers.
Although leasing activity was slower on expiring leases during 2009, existing customers renewed their leases 75.1% of the time in
2009 as compared with 79.3% in 2008. As of December 31, 2009, our total direct owned operating portfolio of industrial and retail
properties was 82.8% leased, as compared with 82.1% at December 31, 2008. Excluding the development portfolio, our direct owned
operating portfolio was 90.1% leased at December 31, 2009, as compared to 92.2% leased at December 31, 2008.
As we previously disclosed, we have significantly reduced our development activity. During 2009, we started development of seven
properties totaling 2.3 million square feet that were all 100% leased prior to the commencement of development. We are receiving an
increase in requests for build-to-suit (pre-leased) proposals. In an effort to monetize our land holdings, we have begun to take
advantage of opportunities to develop principally pre-leased buildings on our land, including opportunities to use development capital
or take out commitments from one of our partners or customers. We will continue to evaluate future opportunities for such
developments directly and within unconsolidated investees.
In addition during 2009, we completed the development of 67 buildings aggregating 19.1 million square feet that were 66.9% leased at
December 31, 2009, contributed 43 development properties to PEPF II aggregating 9.2 million square feet that were 97.6% leased, and
sold 2 development properties to a third party. As of December 31, 2009, our development portfolio consisted of 163 completed
properties that were 62.2% leased and 5 properties under development that were 100% leased, resulting in the development portfolio
being 64.3% leased at December 31, 2009, as compared to 41.4% leased at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, we expect
to incur an additional $307.8 million of development and leasing costs related to our development portfolio.
Other Components of Operating Income
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”) — and — Reduction in Workforce (“RIF”)
Net G&A expenses for the years ended December 31, consisted of the following (in thousands):

(1,305)
(19,446)
(43,416)
(49,945)
2009
2008
2007
In response to the difficult economic environment, in late 2008 we implemented G&A cost cutting initiatives with a near-term target
of a 20% to 25% reduction in G&A, prior to capitalization or allocations for 2009. These initiatives included a RIF program and
reductions to other expenses through various cost saving measures.
Due to the changes in our business strategy in the fourth quarter of 2008, we significantly reduced our new development activities,
which, along with lower gross G&A, resulted in lower capitalized G&A in 2009.
We recognized $2.0 million in 2009 and $5.0 million in 2007 of expense related to a contribution to our charitable foundation.
Impairment of Real Estate Properties
During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recognized impairment charges of real estate properties of $331.6 million, $274.7 million and
$12.6 million, respectively. During 2009 and 2008, as a result of significant adverse changes in market conditions, we reviewed our
assets for potential impairment under the appropriate accounting literature. We considered current market conditions, as well as our
intent with regard to owning or disposing of the asset, and recognized impairments of certain operating buildings, land and
predevelopment costs, all included in our direct owned segment. In 2007, the impairment charge related to a portfolio of buildings we
had decided to sell. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $315.8 million, $317.3 million, and $286.3 million in 2009, 2008, and 2007,
respectively. The increase in 2008 over 2007 is due primarily to an adjustment in depreciation expense and a higher level of
amortization expense related to leasing commissions and other leasing costs. As of September 30, 2008, we had classified a group of
properties that we had developed or acquired with the intent to contribute to a property fund or sell to a third party. Our policy was to
not depreciate these properties during the period from completion until contribution, provided they met certain criteria. With the
changes in our business segments and the uncertainty as to when, or if, these properties will be contributed, in the fourth quarter of
2008, we recorded an adjustment of $30.9 million to depreciate these buildings through December 31, 2008 based on our depreciation
policy for buildings we expect to hold for long-term investment.

As previously discussed, on January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard that required separate accounting for the debt and
equity components of certain convertible debt. As a result, we restated 2008 and 2007 amounts to reflect the additional interest
expense and the additional capitalized interest related to our development activities for both properties we currently own, as well as
properties we contributed during the applicable periods.
The decrease in interest expense in 2009 over 2008 is due to significantly lower debt levels, offset by higher average borrowing rates
and lower capitalization due to less development activity in 2009. Our future interest expense, both gross and the portion capitalized,
will vary depending on, among other things, the level of our development activities.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets
We performed our annual impairment review of the goodwill allocated to the direct owned segment in North America and the
investment management segment in Europe during the fourth quarter of 2009 and no impairment was indicated. We own a substantial
portfolio of operating real estate properties within our direct owned segment in North America and the carrying value of this segment,
including goodwill, was significantly lower than the estimated net asset value. The fair value of the investment management segment
in Europe was also significantly in excess of the carrying value, including goodwill. Within our investment management segment, we
include our investments in property funds, as well as the fee income that is generated from the management of the property funds and
the properties they own.
During the fourth quarter of 2009 we also performed our annual impairment review of the goodwill allocated to the direct owned
segment in Europe. First, we estimated the fair value of this segment using a combination of net asset value analyses, discounted cash
flows and market based valuation methodologies. The carrying value of this segment, including goodwill, was in excess of the
estimated fair value so in accordance with our accounting policy we performed further analysis. As part of this analysis the estimated
fair value of the segment was allocated to all of the identifiable assets and liabilities, with any residual value being the implied fair
value of goodwill. As the implied fair value of the goodwill was in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill, we concluded that
goodwill was recoverable and that no impairment was necessary.
In connection with our review of goodwill in 2008, which was triggered by the significant decrease in our common stock price and the
decline in fair value of certain of our real estate properties, specifically investments in land in the United Kingdom, we recognized an
impairment charge of $175.4 million related to goodwill allocated to the direct owned segment in the Europe reporting unit. This
goodwill related to an acquisition made in 2007.
In 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment charges of $163.6 million and $145.2 million, respectively, on certain of our investments
in and advances to unconsolidated investees, notes receivable and other assets, as we did not believe these amounts to be recoverable
based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows associated with these assets.
See Notes 6 and 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information on the impairment of our investments in
and advances to unconsolidated investees, goodwill and other assets.
Other Income (Expense), Net
We recognized other expense not allocated to a segment of $39.8 million in 2009 and income of $16.0 million and $31.7 million in
2008 and 2007, respectively. The primary components in 2009 were adjustments of $20.3 million to accruals we had related to rent
indemnifications we had made to certain property funds due to changes in leasing and other assumptions and settlement costs of
$13.0 million related to an obligation we assumed in the 2005 acquisition of Catellus. The income in 2008 and 2007 was primarily
interest income.
Net Gains on Dispositions of Real Estate Properties
During 2009, we recognized net gains of $35.3 million related to the contribution of properties ($13.0 million), the recognition of
previously deferred gains from PEPR and ProLogis Korea Fund on properties they sold to third parties ($9.9 million), the sale of land
parcels ($6.4 million), and a gain on settlement of an obligation to our fund partner in connection with the restructure of the North
American Industrial Fund II ($6.0 million). The contribution activity resulted in total cash proceeds of $643.7 million and included 43
properties aggregating 9.2 million square feet to PEPF II.
In 2008 and 2007, we recognized gains of $11.7 million and $146.7 million on the contribution of 2 properties and 77 properties,
respectively, from our direct owned segment (non-CDFS properties) to certain of the unconsolidated property funds. If we realize a
gain on contribution of a property, we recognize the portion attributable to the third party ownership in the property fund. If we realize
a loss on contribution, we recognize the full amount of the impairment as soon as it is known. Due to our continuing involvement
through our ownership in the property fund, these dispositions are not included in discontinued operations.
As discussed earlier, in 2008 and 2007, contribution activity of CDFS/development properties and land was reported as CDFS
Proceeds and Cost of CDFS Dispositions within our CDFS business segment.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net
We and certain of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s
functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss may result. To mitigate
34
our foreign currency exchange exposure, we borrow in the functional currency of the borrowing entity when appropriate. Certain of
our intercompany debt is remeasured with the resulting adjustment recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment in Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss). This treatment is applicable to intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature. If the
intercompany debt is deemed short-term in nature, when the debt is remeasured, we recognize a gain or loss in earnings.
We recognized net foreign currency exchange gains of $35.6 million in 2009, losses of $148.3 million in 2008, and gains of
$8.1 million in 2007. Predominantly, the gains or losses recognized in earnings relate to intercompany loans between the U.S. parent
and our consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and Europe due to the fluctuations in the exchange rates of U.S. dollars to the yen, euro and
British pound sterling.
Additionally, we may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage certain foreign currency exchange risks. During 2009, we
entered into and settled forward contracts to buy yen to manage the foreign currency fluctuations related to the sale of our investments
in the Japan property funds and recognized losses of $5.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recognized net
losses of $3.1 million associated with forward contracts on certain intercompany loans. Included in our 2007 foreign currency
exchange gains was $26.6 million from the settlement of several foreign currency forward contracts we purchased to manage the
foreign currency fluctuations of an acquisition price, which was denominated in Australian dollars. See Note 18 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information on our derivative financial instruments.
Gain on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During late 2008 and all of 2009, in connection with our announced initiatives discussed earlier, we purchased portions of several
series of notes outstanding at a discount and extinguished some secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, which resulted in the
recognition of gains of $172.3 million in 2009 and $90.7 million in 2008. The gain represents the difference between the recorded
debt, including related debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts, and the consideration we paid to retire the debt. See Note 9 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information.
Income Tax Expense
During 2009, 2008 and 2007, our current income tax expense was $29.3 million, $63.4 million and $66.3 million, respectively. We
recognize current income tax expense for income taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in certain foreign jurisdictions,
as well as certain state taxes. We also include in current income tax expense the interest accrual associated with our unrecognized tax
benefit liabilities. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable
income and changes in tax and interest rates. In the first quarter of 2009, in connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan
property funds, we recognized current tax expense of $20.5 million.
Certain 1999 through 2005 federal and state income tax returns of Catellus have been under audit by the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) and various state taxing authorities. In November 2008, we agreed to enter into a closing agreement with the IRS for the
settlement of the 1999 through 2002 audits. As a result, in 2008, we increased our unrecognized tax liability by $85.4 million,
including interest and penalties. As this liability was an income tax uncertainty related to an acquired company, we increased goodwill
by $66.9 million related to the liability that existed at the acquisition date. The remaining amount is included in current income tax
expense in 2008. We made cash payments of $226.6 million in 2009 in connection with this closing agreement and settlement of
certain state tax audits.
In 2009, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $23.3 million, and in 2008 and 2007, we recognized deferred tax expense of
$4.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Deferred income tax expense is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences
and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in
certain of our taxable subsidiaries operating in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income tax liabilities also relate to
indemnification agreements for contributions to certain property funds.
Our income taxes and the current tax indemnification agreements are discussed in more detail in Note 15 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8.
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 involvement in the operations of the component after the
disposal transaction. The results of operations of the component of the entity that has been classified as discontinued operations are
reported separately in our consolidated financial statements.
35
In February 2009, we sold our operations in China. Accordingly, we classified our China operations as held for sale at December 31,
2008 and included the results in discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based
on the carrying values of the assets and liabilities to be sold as compared with the estimated sales proceeds, less costs to sell, we
recognized an impairment charge of $198.2 million in 2008, which is included in discontinued operations. See additional information
on the China sale in Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. In addition to our China operations, we had one and
two properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of these properties are also included in
discontinued operations.
During 2009, 2008 and 2007, in addition to our China operations, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 140, 15 and 80
properties, respectively, to third parties. These properties met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore,
the results of operations for these properties, as well as the gain recognized upon disposition, are included in discontinued operations.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses), Net
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate their financial statements into
U.S. dollars at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments, due to the fluctuations in exchange rates
from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
During 2009, we recognized net gains in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of $59.9 million. This includes $209.2 million in gains
related to foreign currency translations of our international business units into U.S. dollars upon consolidation, mainly as a result of
the strengthening of the British pound sterling to the U.S. dollar offset partially by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar to the euro and
yen, from the beginning of the year to December 31, 2009. These gains were offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income of
$149.3 million, as a result of the sale of our China operations and our investments in the Japan property funds in February 2009, and
represents the gains previously included as currency translation adjustments. During 2008, we recognized $279.6 million of net losses
due to the strengthening of the U.S dollar to the euro and British pound sterling, offset partially by the strengthening of the yen to the
U.S. dollar. During 2007, we recognized net gains of $90.0 million due primarily to the strengthening of the euro and British pound
sterling to the U.S. dollar.
Portfolio Information
Our total operating portfolio of properties includes industrial and retail properties owned by us and industrial properties owned by the
property funds and joint ventures we manage and account for on the equity method. The operating portfolio does not include
properties under development, properties held for sale or any other properties owned by unconsolidated investees, and was as follows

We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage 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. We include properties owned by us, and properties owned by the unconsolidated investees
(accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us (referred to as “unconsolidated investees”), in our same store analysis.
We have defined the same store portfolio for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as those properties that were in operation at
October 1, 2008 and have been in operation throughout the three-month periods in both 2009 and 2008, including completed
development properties. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third party or were classified as held for sale from
the population for both periods. We believe the factors that impact rental income, rental expenses and net operating income in the
same store portfolio are generally the same as for the total portfolio. In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period
operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the current exchange rate to
translate from local currency into U.S. dollars, for both periods, to derive the same store results. The same store portfolio, for the three
months ended December 31, 2009, included 2,402 properties that aggregated 436.2 million square feet.

(1) As discussed above, our same store portfolio aggregates industrial and retail properties from our consolidated portfolio and
industrial properties owned by the unconsolidated investees (accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us. During
the periods presented, certain properties owned by us were contributed to a property fund and are included in the same store
portfolio on an aggregate basis. Neither our consolidated results nor that of the unconsolidated investees, when viewed
individually, would be comparable on a same store basis due to the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from
period to period (for example, the results of a contributed property would be included in our consolidated results through the
contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated investee subsequent to the contribution date).
(2) Rental income in the same store portfolio includes straight-line rents and rental recoveries, as well as base rent. We exclude the
net termination and renegotiation fees from our same store rental income to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each
property’s rental income without regard to items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net
termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease,
offset by the write-off of the asset recognized due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. The adjustments to
remove these items are included as “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other” in the tables above.
(3) These amounts include rental income, rental expenses and net operating income of both our consolidated industrial and retail
properties and those industrial properties owned by our unconsolidated investees (accounted for on the equity method) and
managed by us.
(4) The same store portfolio results include the benefit of leasing in certain of our completed development properties that meet our
definition. We have also presented the results for the adjusted same store portfolio, for core properties only, by excluding the 156
completed development properties in operation that we owned as of October 1, 2008 and that are still included in the same store
portfolio (either owned by us or our unconsolidated investees that we manage).
(5) Rental expenses in the same store portfolio include the direct operating expenses of the property such as property taxes,
insurance, utilities, etc. In addition, we include an allocation of the property management expenses for our direct-owned
properties based on the property management fee that is provided for in the individual management agreements under which our
wholly owned management companies 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 actual costs of providing property management
services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses. These expenses fluctuate based on the level of properties
included in the same store portfolio and any adjustment is included as “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and
other” in the above table.
Environmental Matters
For a discussion of environmental matters, see Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 and also Item 1A Risk
Factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, contributions and dispositions of properties and from available
financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service and shareholder
distribution requirements.
As discussed earlier, our focus in 2009 placed significant emphasis on liquidity. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we set a goal to
simplify our debt structure and reduce our total debt by at least $2.0 billion by December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we have
exceeded this goal and reduced debt since December 31, 2008 by $2.7 billion through the following actions:
38
• generated cash through contributions of
— During 2009, we received $1.3 billion in proceeds from the sale of our China
properties to the unconsolidated
property funds or sales of assets to third
parties;
operations and investments in the Japan property funds. In addition, we generated
$1.5 billion in proceeds during 2009 from the contributions of properties to the
property funds and sales of land and properties to third parties.
• repurchased our senior notes and
convertible notes at a discount and
extinguished certain secured mortgage
debt prior to maturity;
— We purchased $1.2 billion notional amount of portions of several series of senior
and other notes and extinguished $227.0 million of secured mortgage debt during
2009. This resulted in the reduction of $242.1 million in debt and a gain of $172.3
million in 2009.
• recasted our Global Line and simplified
— In August 2009, we amended and extended our Global Line, and in October 2009
our debt structure;
we amended the financial covenants of our senior notes --both discussed below.
• issued equity;
— In April 2009, we completed the Equity Offering that resulted in net proceeds to us
of $1.1 billion. During 2009, we generated net proceeds of $325.1 million through
the issuance of 29.8 million common shares under our at-the-market equity
issuance program.
• reduced cash needs;
— We halted early-stage infrastructure on development projects and implemented
G&A cost savings initiatives and a RIF program with a target to reduce gross G&A
in 2009 by 20% to 25%. Our gross G&A in 2009 was 26.5% lower than 2008.
• and lowered our common share
— We reduced our annual distributions on our common shares in 2009 from $542.8
distribution.
million to $271.8 million.
During 2009, we focused on staggering and extending our debt maturities through the following activities:
•
•
•
We issued $350.0 million of 7.625% senior notes due August 2014, at 99.489% of par, for an all-in-rate of 7.75%.
We issued $600.0 million of 7.375% senior notes due October 2019, at 99.728% of par value for an all-in-rate of 7.414%.
We closed on $499.9 million in secured mortgage debt, which includes $101.8 million at 6.5% due July 2014, $245.5 million at
7.55% due July 2019, ¥4.3 billion of 4.09% TMK bonds ($44.4 million) that matures in June 2012, and ¥10.0 billion of 2.74%
TMK bonds ($108.2 million) that matures in December 2012. Both TMK bonds have variable interest rates, but were fixed
using derivative swap contracts. TMK bonds are a financing vehicle in Japan for special purpose companies known as TMKs.
The proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes and secured mortgage debt were used to repay borrowings on our credit facilities or
other debt. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information.
Credit Facilities
Information related to our Global Line as of December 31, 2009 (dollars in millions):
Borrowing base ....................................................................................................................................................................... $ 3,907.7
Borrowing capacity (1) ........................................................................................................................................................... $ 2,149.2
Less:
736.6
Borrowings outstanding ........................................................................................................................................................
99.3
Outstanding letters of credit..................................................................................................................................................
Debt due within one year ......................................................................................................................................................
232.9
Current availability ................................................................................................................................................................. $ 1,080.4
____________
(1) Borrowing capacity represents 55% of the borrowing base related to the Global Line.
In August 2009, we amended our Global Line to, among other things, extend the maturity to August 21, 2012 and reduce the size of
the aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion, after October 2010, from the current level of $3.7 billion (in each case subject to currency
fluctuations). The Global Line includes covenants that may limit the amount of indebtedness that we and our subsidiaries can incur to
39
an amount that may be less than the aggregate lender commitments under the Global Line, depending on the timing and use of
proceeds of the borrowings. The borrowing base covenant in the Global Line limits the aggregate amount of indebtedness (including
obligations under the Global Line and other recourse indebtedness maturing within one year) to no more than 55% of the value
(determined by a formula as of the end of each fiscal quarter) of our unencumbered property pool, as defined in the Global Line.
Our current availability to borrow under the Global Line is calculated as the lesser of (i) the aggregate lender commitments and (ii) the
borrowing capacity, in each case reduced by the outstanding borrowings, letters of credit and recourse debt due within one year;
resulting in current availability of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2009. Therefore, the amount of funds that we may borrow under the
Global Line will vary from time to time based upon the outstanding amount of such specified indebtedness and the quarterly formulaic
valuation of our unencumbered property pool. Our current availability to borrow would remain $1.1 billion at December 31, 2009,
even if the aggregate lender commitments were reduced to $2.25 billion.
We may draw funds from a syndicate of banks in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars, and
until October 2010, South Korean won. Lenders who did not participate in the amended and extended facility will be subject to the
pre-amendment pricing structure through October 2010, while the new pricing structure is effective immediately to extending lenders.
Based on our public debt ratings and a pricing grid, interest on the borrowings under the Global Line accrues at a variable rate based
upon the interbank offered rate in each respective jurisdiction in which the borrowings are outstanding and we pay utilization fees that
are calculated on the outstanding balance. The interest and utilization fees result in a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.27% per
annum at December 31, 2009 using local currency rates.
In connection with the amendment of the Global Line, we repaid the balance outstanding and terminated our existing multi-currency
credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in October, 2009, with borrowings under the Global Line. We have a 9.7 million British
pound sterling facility, which matures December 31, 2010 and is equal to the outstanding letters of credit under the facility.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to common share distributions and preferred share dividend requirements, we expect our primary short and long-term cash
needs will consist of the following:

____________
(a) As of December 31, 2009, we had 5 properties under development with a current investment of $192.0 million and a total expected
investment of $295.7 million when completed and leased, with $103.7 million remaining to be spent. We also had 163 completed
development properties with a current investment of $4.1 billion and a total expected investment of $4.3 billion when leased, with
$204.1 million remaining to be spent.
(b) We may fulfill our equity commitment with properties we contribute to the property funds or cash, depending on the property fund
as discussed below. However, to the extent a property fund acquires properties from a third party or requires cash to retire debt or has
other cash needs, we may be required or agree to contribute our proportionate share of the equity component in cash to the property
fund. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we used cash for investments in or advances to our unconsolidated investees of
approximately $401.4 million, as discussed below.
40
We expect to fund cash needs for 2010 and future years primarily with cash from the following sources, all subject to market
conditions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
available cash balances ($34.4 million at December 31, 2009);
property operations;
fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds and distributions received from the property
funds;
proceeds from the disposition of properties or land parcels to third parties;
cash proceeds from the contributions of properties to property funds;
borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities ($1.1 billion available as of December 31, 2009), other future facilities or
borrowing arrangements;
proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, including sales under our at-the-market equity issuance program, under which
we have 10.2 million common shares remaining; and
proceeds from the issuance of debt securities, including secured mortgage debt.
We may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases, in open market purchases,
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions,
our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. We have approximately
$84.1 million remaining on authorization to repurchase common shares that was approved by our Board in 2001. We have not
repurchased our common shares since 2003.
Debt Covenants
On October 1, 2009, we completed a consent solicitation with regard to our senior notes, other than our convertible notes, to amend
certain covenants and events of default contained in the indenture governing the notes and to provide that all series of the senior notes
issued under the indenture, other than convertible notes, will have the same financial covenants and events of default. Due to the terms
of the convertible notes, they are not subject to financial covenants.
We are also subject to covenants under our Global Line. The financial covenants include leverage ratios, fixed charge and debt service
coverage ratios, investments and indebtedness to total asset value ratios, minimum consolidated net worth and restrictions on
distributions, redemptions and borrowing limitations.
The most restrictive covenants relate to the total leverage ratio, the fixed charge coverage ratio and the borrowing limitations. All
covenants are calculated based on the definitions and calculations included in the respective debt agreements.
As of December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
Equity Commitments Related to Certain Property Funds
Certain property funds have equity commitments from us and our fund partners. We may fulfill our equity commitment through
contributions of properties or cash or we may not be required to fulfill them before expiration. Our fund partners fulfill their equity
commitment with cash. We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties that we develop and stabilize in
Europe and Mexico to these respective funds. These property funds are committed to acquire such properties, subject to certain
exceptions, including that the properties meet certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the property funds have available
capital. We are not obligated to contribute properties at a loss. Depending on market conditions, our liquidity needs and other factors,
we may make contributions of properties to these property funds through the remaining commitment period in 2010.
The following table outlines the activity of these commitments in 2009 (in millions):

(1) During 2009, the ProLogis North American Industrial Fund called capital to repay borrowings outstanding under its credit
facility and to repay certain secured mortgage debt, which resulted in a gain on early extinguishment of $31.1 million. In
February 2010, the property fund called $23.2 million of capital, including $0.8 million in cash from ProLogis, to acquire one
property from us. The remaining equity commitments expire at the end of February 2010.
(2) ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund may use the remaining equity commitments to pay down existing debt or other liabilities,
including amounts due to us, or to make acquisitions of properties from us or third parties depending on market conditions and
other factors.
(3) PEPF II’s equity commitments are denominated in euro. The ProLogis commitments include a commitment on the Series B units
we acquired from PEPR in December 2008 that we are required to fund with cash. During 2009, we contributed 43 properties to
PEPF II for gross proceeds of $643.7 million that were financed by PEPF II with all equity, including our co-investment of
$152.7 million in cash under this commitment. We did not make any contributions in 2009 under the Series A commitment. We
are not required to fund the remaining Series A commitment in cash and we anticipate it will expire unused.
(4) Excludes commitments related to the ProLogis Korea Fund as the agreements were amended and there are no longer any
remaining commitments.
Generally, the properties are contributed based on third-party appraised value, other than PEPF II in 2009. For contributions we made
in 2009 to PEPF II, the capitalization rate was determined based on a third party appraisal then a margin of 0.25 to 0.75 percentage
points was added to the capitalization rate, depending on the quarter the properties were contributed. We may receive additional
proceeds for the 2009 contributions if values at the end of 2010 are higher than those used to determine contribution values.
In addition to the capital contributions we made under these commitments, we also made additional discretionary investments in the
property funds of $173.5 million in 2009. These investments included the purchase of preferred convertible units in PEPR
($59.4 million), a preferred investment in ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II ($85.0 million), contributions to ProLogis
North American Properties Fund XI and ProLogis North American Properties Fund I to repay debt ($3.7 million) and advances to
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III ($25.4 million).
For more information on the property funds, see Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $116.0 million for 2009, $884.2 million for 2008, and $1.2 billion for 2007. The
decrease is due primarily to gains of $654.7 million and $763.7 million recognized in 2008 and 2007, respectively, on the
contributions of CDFS properties. These gains were lower in 2009 and, due to the changes in our business strategy, no longer included
in cash provided by operating activities.
42
In addition in 2009, we paid $226.6 million in taxes related to the settlement of audits that were in process at the time of our
acquisition of Catellus Development Corporation in 2005. Prior to payment, these amounts were included in the liability for
unrecognized tax benefits. Excluding these payments, cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on
common shares and dividends paid on preferred shares in all three periods.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For 2009, investing activities provided net cash of $1.2 billion. For 2008 and 2007, investing activities used net cash of $1.3 billion
and $4.1 billion, respectively. The following are the more significant activities for all periods presented:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In 2009, we received $1.3 billion in proceeds from the sale of our China operations and our property fund interests in Japan.
The proceeds were used to pay down borrowings on our credit facilities.
We generated net cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and land parcels of $1.5 billion, $4.5 billion and
$3.6 billion in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We invested $1.3 billion in real estate during the year ended December 31, 2009, $5.6 billion for the same period in 2008, and
$5.3 billion for the same period in 2007, excluding Macquarie ProLogis Trust (“MPR”), which owned 88.7% of a property
fund, and Parkridge Holdings Limited (“Parkridge”) acquisitions (see below). The real estate investment amounts include costs
for current and future development projects; the acquisition of operating properties (25 properties and 41 properties with an
aggregate purchase price of $324.0 million and $351.6 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively); acquisitions of land or land use
rights for future development; and recurring capital expenditures and tenant improvements on existing operating properties. At
December 31, 2009, we had 5 properties aggregating 2.9 million square feet under development, with a total expected
investment of $295.7 million.
We invested cash of $401.4 million, $329.6 million and $661.8 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in unconsolidated
investees in connection with property contributions we made, repayment of debt by the investees and two new preferred
investments in existing property funds. In 2009, our investments principally include $152.7 million in PEPF II, $59.4 million in
PEPR, $85.0 million in North American Industrial Fund II and $54.1 million in the North American Industrial Fund. In 2008,
our investments principally include $167.3 million in PEPF II and $68.5 million in joint ventures operating in China. In 2007,
our investments principally include $100.0 million in ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II (discussed below),
$360.0 million in ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III, and excludes the initial investment in the Parkridge retail
business, which is detailed separately.
We received distributions from unconsolidated investees as a return of investment of $78.1 million, $127.0 million and
$50.2 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We generated net cash proceeds from payments on notes receivable of $10.7 million, $4.2 million, and $97.4 million in 2009,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25% investment in the retail business of Parkridge. The
total purchase price was $1.3 billion of which we paid cash of $733.9 million and the balance in common shares or assumption
of liabilities.
On July 11, 2007, we completed the acquisition of MPR for total consideration of approximately $2.0 billion, consisting of
$1.2 billion of cash and the assumption of debt and other liabilities of $0.8 billion. The cash portion was financed by the
issuance of a $473.1 million term loan and a $646.2 million convertible loan with an affiliate of Citigroup. On August 27,
2007, when Citigroup converted $546.2 million of the convertible loan into equity of a newly created property fund, ProLogis
North American Industrial Fund II, we made a $100.0 million cash equity contribution to the property fund, which it used to
repay the remaining balance on the convertible loan.
For 2009, financing activities used net cash of $1.5 billion. For 2008 and 2007, financing activities provided net cash of
$358.1 million and $2.7 billion, respectively. The following are the more significant activities for all periods presented as summarized
below:

In April 2009, we closed on the Equity Offering and received net proceeds of $1.1 billion. In addition to the Equity Offering,
we generated proceeds from the sale and issuance of common shares of $337.4 million, $222.2 million and $46.9 million in
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The proceeds in 2009 include $331.9 million from our at-the-market equity issuance
program.
In 2009, we purchased and extinguished $1.5 billion original principal amount of our senior, convertible senior and other notes,
along with certain secured mortgage debt, for a total of $1.2 billion. In 2008, we purchased and extinguished $309.7 million
original principal amount of our senior notes for a total of $216.8 million.
In 2009, we issued $950.0 million of senior notes and closed on $499.9 million of secured mortgage debt, which includes
¥14.3 billion in TMK bonds. In 2008, we issued $550.0 million convertible senior notes and $600.0 million of senior notes. In
2007, we issued $2.4 billion convertible senior notes and $781.8 million of senior notes.
During 2007, we received proceeds of $1.1 billion and $600.1 million under facilities used to partially finance the MPR and
Parkridge acquisitions, respectively (see Note 5 and Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8).
We had net payments on our credit facilities of $2.4 billion and $431.5 million in 2009 and 2007, respectively and net
borrowings of $743.9 million in 2008.
We had net payments on our other debt of $351.8 million, $985.2 million and $1.2 billion for the years ended December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We paid distributions to holders of common shares of $271.8 million, $542.8 million and $472.6 million in 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively. We paid dividends on preferred shares of $25.4 million, $25.4 million and $31.8 million in 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Investees
We had investments in and advances to property funds at December 31, 2009 of $2.2 billion. The property funds had total third party

(1) As of December 31, 2009, we had not guaranteed any of the third party debt. See note (4) below. In our role as the manager of
the property funds, we work with the property funds to refinance their maturing debt. We are in various stages of discussions
with banks on extending or refinancing the 2010 maturities. As noted below, a majority of the 2010 maturities have been
substantially addressed. There can be no assurance that the property funds will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness at
terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the property funds are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with
newly issued debt, they may be able to otherwise obtain funds by capital contributions from us and our fund partners, or by
selling assets. Certain of the property funds also have credit facilities, which may be used to obtain funds. Generally, the property
funds issue long-term debt and utilize the proceeds to repay borrowings under the credit facilities. Information on remaining
equity commitments of the property funds is presented above.
44
(2) The debt included in 2010 maturities is due December 2010. The property fund is in discussions about a re-financing or
extending the term of this debt.
(3) ProLogis North American Industrial Fund has a $50.0 million credit facility that matures July 17, 2010, and was completely
available at December 31, 2009.
(4) We have pledged properties we own directly, valued at approximately $275.0 million, to serve as additional collateral on a loan
payable to an affiliate of our fund partner that is due in 2014 and outstanding derivative contracts. Of the $157.5 million due in
2010, $85.0 million matures in June and the remaining amount matures in September. The property fund has a loan commitment
for $71.0 million of new secured mortgage debt with a seven year maturity and a commitment to refinance $81 million with the
current lender for five years. The remaining balance will be paid with cash.
(5) During the first quarter of 2009, we and our fund partner each loaned the property fund $25.4 million that is payable with
operating cash flow, matures at dissolution of the partnership and bears interest at LIBOR plus 8%. The outstanding balance at
December 31, 2009 was $22.6 million and is not included in the maturities above as it is not third party debt.
(6) In addition to its existing third party debt, this property fund has a note payable to us for $14.3 million at December 31, 2009.
(7) PEPR has three credit facilities with aggregate borrowing capacity of €867 million (approximately $1.2 billion). As of
December 31, 2009, two facilities had outstanding borrowings of $535.0 million due December 2010 and another facility had
outstanding borrowings of $384.1 million due December 2012. The aggregate remaining capacity at December 31, 2009 was
$325.6 million. In January 2010, PEPR issued €392.7 million ($553.3 million) of secured mortgage debt due 2014, the proceeds
of which were used to repay outstanding debt that was scheduled to mature in 2010, including a portion of the credit facility.
(8) As of December 31, 2009, PEPF II had a €600 million credit facility (approximately $860.6 million) due May 2010, under which
$627.1 million was outstanding and $233.5 million was available to borrow under this facility. In January 2010, PEPF II issued
€181 million ($255.0 million) of secured mortgage debt due 2014; the proceeds of which were used to pay down the outstanding
balance on the credit facility that is scheduled to mature in 2010. In February 2010, PEPF II decreased the commitments under
the facility to €300 million.

(2) Generally, we fulfill our equity commitment with a portion of the proceeds from properties we contribute to the property fund.
However, to the extent a property fund acquires properties from a third party or requires cash to pay-off debt or has other cash
needs, we may be required to contribute our proportionate share of the equity component in cash to the property fund. See
discussion above in “- Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”.
45
(3) These amounts represent an estimate of our income tax liabilities, including an estimate of the period of settlement. See Note 15
to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Other Commitments
On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition and/or disposition of individual properties
or portfolios of properties.
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
Our common share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure we will meet the distribution
requirements of the Code, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to maximize the cash retained to meet other
cash needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities.
Cash distributions per common share paid in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $0.70, $2.07 and $1.84, respectively. Our 2009 dividend was
$0.25 for the first quarter and $0.15 for each of the second, third and fourth quarters. The payment of common share distributions is
dependent upon our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements and may be adjusted at the discretion of
the Board during the year. A cash distribution of $0.15 per common share for the first quarter of 2010 was declared on February 1,
2010. This distribution will be paid on February 26, 2010 to holders of common shares on February 12, 2010.
At December 31, 2009, we had three series of preferred shares outstanding. The annual dividend rates on 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.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to our 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of an entity’s financial condition and results of operations and
requires judgment on the part of management. Generally, the judgment requires management to make estimates and assumptions
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering
past and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. The current economic environment has increased the degree of
uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in
our results of operations that are used by shareholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our
performance. Of the accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, those presented
below have been identified by us as critical accounting policies.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable.
Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted
cash flows. In order to review our real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions, as well as our intent with
respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash
flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary. If our analysis indicates that the carrying
value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount
by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.
We use a two step approach to our goodwill impairment evaluation. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify
whether there is any potential impairment. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its corresponding book value, including
goodwill, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed. The second step
requires that we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill to measure
the amount of impairment loss, if any.
46
Generally, we use net asset value analyses to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit where the goodwill is allocated. We estimate
the current fair value of the assets and liabilities in the reporting unit through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash
flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third-party
appraisals, as considered necessary. The fair value of the reporting unit also includes an enterprise value premium that we estimate a
third party would be willing to pay for the particular reporting unit. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions
that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business.
However, assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective.
Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and
result in future impairment of our goodwill.
The use of projected future cash flows and other estimates of fair value are based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates
of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. However, assumptions and estimates about
future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Use of other estimates and assumptions may
result in changes in the impairment charges recognized. Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to our
impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of our real estate properties and/or
goodwill. In addition, our intent with regard to the underlying assets might change as market conditions change, as well as other
factors, especially in the current global economic environment.
Investments in Unconsolidated Investees
When circumstances indicate there may have been a reduction in the value of an equity investment, we evaluate the equity investment
and any advances made to the investee for impairment by estimating our ability to recover our investment from future expected cash
flows. If we determine the loss in value is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the investment at fair
value. The use of projected future cash flows and other estimates of fair value, the determination of when a loss is other than
temporary, and the calculation of the amount of the loss, is complex and subjective. Use of other estimates and assumptions may result
in different conclusions. Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to our review could impact these
assumptions and result in future impairment charges of our equity investments.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize gains from the contributions and sales of real estate assets, generally at the time the title is transferred, consideration is
received and we no longer have substantial continuing involvement with the real estate sold. In many of our transactions, an entity in
which we have an ownership interest will acquire a real estate asset from us. We make judgments based on the specific terms of each
transaction as to the amount of the total profit from the transaction that we recognize given our continuing ownership interest and our
level of future involvement with the investee that acquires the assets. We also make judgments regarding the timing of recognition in
earnings of certain fees and incentives when they are fixed and determinable.
Business Combinations
We acquire individual properties, as well as portfolios of properties or businesses. When we acquire a business or individual operating
properties, with the intention to hold the investment for the long-term, we allocate the purchase price to the various components of the
acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. The components typically include land, building, debt and other assumed
liabilities, intangible assets related to above and below market leases, value of costs to obtain tenants and goodwill, deferred tax
liabilities and other assets and liabilities in the case of an acquisition of a business. In an acquisition of multiple properties, we must
also allocate the purchase price among the properties. The allocation of the purchase price is based on our assessment of estimated fair
value and often times based upon the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the
property is located. The initial allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s preliminary assessment, which may differ
when final information becomes available. Subsequent adjustments made to the initial purchase price allocation are made within the
allocation period, which typically does not exceed one year.
Consolidation
We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable
interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a
variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through the consideration of various factors, including: the form of our
ownership interest and legal structure; our representation on the entity’s governing body; the size of our investment (including loans);
47
estimates of future cash flows; our ability and the rights of other investors to participate in significant decisions; and the ability of
other investors or partners to replace us as manager or general partner and/or liquidate the entity, if applicable. Investments in entities
in which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies
are presented under the equity method. Investments in entities that we do not control and over which we do not exercise significant
influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. Our ability to correctly assess our influence and/or control over
an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.
Capitalization of Costs and Depreciation
We capitalize costs incurred in developing, renovating, acquiring and rehabilitating real estate assets as part of the investment basis.
Costs incurred in making certain other improvements are also capitalized. During the land development and construction periods, we
capitalize interest costs, insurance, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs of the personnel performing
development, renovations, rehabilitation and leasing activities if such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity.
Capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate assets except for the costs capitalized related to leasing activities,
which are presented as a component of other assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful
lives in order to record depreciation expense. Prior to 2008, if we developed properties with the intent to contribute the property to a
property fund, we did not depreciate these properties during the period from completion of the development through the date the
property was contributed. With the changes in our business strategy, and the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future
contributions to the property funds, we expect to hold these properties long-term and have begun to depreciate them. Our ability to
accurately assess the properties to depreciate and to estimate the depreciable portions of our real estate assets and useful lives is
critical to the determination of the appropriate amount of depreciation expense recorded and the carrying value of the underlying
assets. Any change to the assets to be depreciated and the estimated depreciable lives of these assets would have an impact on the
depreciation expense recognized.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our
income tax liability, the liability associated with open tax years that are under review and our compliance with REIT requirements.
Our estimates are based on interpretation of tax laws. We estimate our actual current income tax due and assess temporary differences
resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes resulting in the recognition of deferred income tax assets and
liabilities. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in
assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes in assessments of the recognition of income tax benefits for
certain non-routine transactions, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, our inability to qualify as a
REIT, the potential for built-in-gain recognition, changes in the assessment of properties to be contributed to TRSs and changes in tax
laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within income tax expense. We recognize the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO
is net earnings. Although 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
meaningfully reflect their business.
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.
48
NAREIT’s FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical 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:
(i)
(ii)
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.
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 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 REIT’s activity
and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. We include the gains and losses from dispositions of land,
development properties and properties acquired in our CDFS business segment, as well as our proportionate share of the gains
and losses from dispositions recognized by the property funds, in our definition of FFO.
Our FFO Measures
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure 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 shareholders, potential investors and financial analysts 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. Our FFO measures are used by management in analyzing our business and the performance
of our properties and we believe that it is important that shareholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the
measures management uses.
We use our FFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor
should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as
alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
FFO, including significant non-cash items
To arrive at FFO, including significant non-cash items, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude:
(i)
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to
the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO
measure;
certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions between us and our foreign
consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees;
foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of
certain third party debt of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees; and
(v) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to manage foreign currency and interest
rate risks.
49
We calculate FFO, including significant non-cash items for our unconsolidated investees on the same basis as we calculate our FFO,
including significant non-cash items.
We use this FFO measure, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in
comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance
of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) assess our performance as
compared to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact
our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to
remove the effects of short-term items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties. The
long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. While not infrequent or unusual, these additional items
we exclude in calculating FFO, including significant non-cash items, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that
cause both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are
not relevant to our long-term outlook.
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 our business strategy.
FFO, excluding significant non-cash items
When we began to experience the effects of the global economic crises in the fourth quarter of 2008, we decided that FFO, including
significant non-cash items, did not provide all of the information we needed to evaluate our business in this environment. As a result,
we developed FFO, excluding significant non-cash items to provide additional information that allows us to better evaluate our
operating performance in this unprecedented economic time.
To arrive at FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, we adjust FFO, including significant non-cash items, to exclude the following
items that we recognized directly or our share recognized by our unconsolidated investees:
Non-recurring items
(i)
impairment charges related to the sale of our China operations;
(ii)
impairment charges of goodwill; and
(iii)
our share of the losses recognized by PEPR on the sale of its investment in PEPF II.
Recurring items
(i)
impairment charges of completed development properties that we contributed or expect to contribute to a property fund;
(ii)
impairment charges of land or other real estate properties that we sold or expect to sell;
(iii)
impairment charges of other non-real estate assets, including equity investments;
(iv)
our share of impairment charges of real estate that is sold or expected to be sold by an unconsolidated investee; and
(v)
gains from the early extinguishment of debt.
We believe that these items, both recurring and non-recurring are driven by factors relating to the fundamental disruption in the global
financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the company or the performance of our properties or investments.
The impairment charges of real estate properties that we recognized in 2008 and 2009 were primarily based on valuations of real
estate, which had declined due to market conditions, that we no longer expected to hold for long-term investment. In order to generate
liquidity, we decided to sell our China operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 at a loss and, therefore, we recognized an impairment
charge. Also, to generate liquidity, we have contributed or intend to contribute certain completed properties to property funds and sold
or intend to sell certain land parcels or properties to third parties. To the extent these properties are expected to be sold at a loss, we
record an impairment charge when the loss is known. The impairment charges related to goodwill and other assets that we recognized
in 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008 were similarly caused by the decline in the real estate markets. All of these impairment charges
are discussed in further detail in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
50
Also, PEPR sold its entire equity investment in PEPF II in order to generate liquidity, which resulted in the recognition of a loss in the
fourth quarter of 2008. Certain of our unconsolidated investees have recognized and may continue to recognize similar impairment
charges of real estate that they expect to sell, which impacts our equity in earnings of such investees.
In connection with our announced initiatives to reduce debt, we have purchased portions of our debt securities in 2008 and 2009. The
substantial decrease in the market price of our debt securities presented us with an opportunity to acquire our outstanding indebtedness
at a cost less than the principal amount of that indebtedness. As a result, we recognized net gains on the early extinguishment of this
debt. Certain of our unconsolidated investees have recognized or may recognize similar gains or losses, which impacts our equity in
earnings of such investees.
During this turbulent time, we have recognized certain of these recurring charges and gains over several quarters in 2008 and 2009 and
we believe it is reasonably likely that we will recognize similar charges and gains in the near future, which we anticipate to be through
the second or third quarter of 2010. As we continue to focus on generating liquidity, we believe it is likely that we will recognize
additional impairment charges of land, completed properties and certain other non-real estate assets that we or our unconsolidated
investees will sell in the near future. However, we believe that as the financial markets stabilize, our liquidity needs change and the
capital available to the existing unconsolidated property funds to acquire our completed development properties is expended, the
potential for impairment charges of real estate properties or other non-real estate assets will disappear or become immaterial in the
near future. We may purchase more of our outstanding debt securities, which could result in us recognizing additional gains from the
early extinguishment of debt, although given the recovery that has already occurred in the market price of these securities, we would
expect the gains to become immaterial in the near future.
We analyze our operating performance primarily by the rental income of our real estate, net of operating, administrative and financing
expenses, which is not directly impacted by short-term fluctuations in the market value of our real estate or debt securities. As a result,
although these significant non-cash items have had a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements,
the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long-
term.
As described above, in the fourth quarter of 2008, we began using FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, including by segment
and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of
previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast
future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) assess our performance as compared to similar real estate companies and the
industry in general; and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions
with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of short-term items that we
do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties we own. As noted above, we believe the long-term
performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. 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 our business strategy.
As the impact of these recurring items dissipates, we expect that the usefulness of FFO, excluding significant non-cash items will
similarly dissipate and we will go back to using only FFO, including significant non-cash items.
Limitations on Use of our FFO Measures
While we believe our defined FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures 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. Accordingly they are two of many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of
these limitations are:
•
•
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures represent the taxes that are payable.
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
amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of industrial properties
are not reflected in FFO.
51
•
•
•
•
•
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 measures 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 measures do not
currently 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 measures 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 measures are limited in that they do not reflect
the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.
The non-cash impairment charges that we exclude from our FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, have been or may be
realized as a loss in the future upon the ultimate disposition of the related real estate properties or other assets through the form
of lower cash proceeds.
The gains on extinguishment of debt that we exclude from our FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, provides a benefit to
us as we are settling our debt at less than our future obligation.
We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when
making our decisions. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, following is a reconciliation of our defined FFO
measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP. This information should be read with our complete financial statements prepared
under GAAP and the rest of the disclosures we file with the SEC to fully understand our FFO measures and the limitations on its use.
FFO, including significant non-cash items, attributable to common shares as defined by us was $138.9 million, $133.8 million and
$1,205.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. FFO, excluding significant non-cash items,
attributable to common shares as defined by us was $467.8 million, $944.9 million and $1,205.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The reconciliations of FFO attributable to common shares as defined by us to net

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign-exchange related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign
investments. We have used certain derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign currency put option and forward contracts, to
reduce our foreign currency market risk, as we deem appropriate. We have also used interest rate swap agreements to reduce our
interest rate market risk. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and all financial instruments are
entered into in accordance with established polices and procedures.
We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis estimates the exposure to market risk
sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in year end interest rates. The results of the sensitivity analysis are
summarized below. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect
to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period, hedging
strategies at the time and the prevailing interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To
achieve this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate basis for longer-term debt issuances. In 2009, we entered into two three-
year TMK bond agreements totaling ¥14.3 billion ($153.8 million as of December 31, 2009) with variable interest rates and
concurrently entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate for the term of the notes. We have no other derivative
contracts outstanding at December 31, 2009.
Our primary interest rate risk is created by our variable rate lines of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we had
weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $1.6 billion on our variable rate lines of credit. Based on the results of the
sensitivity analysis, which assumed a 10% adverse change in interest rates, the estimated market risk exposure for the variable rate
lines of credit was approximately $2.7 million of cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2009.
As a result of a change in accounting effective January 1, 2009, our non-cash interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009
increased $63.0 million, prior to capitalization of interest related to our development activities. See Note 2 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information.
The unconsolidated property funds that we manage, and in which we have an equity ownership, may enter into interest rate swap
contracts. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information on these derivatives.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates.
Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates to the translation of the net income of our foreign subsidiaries into
U.S. dollars, principally euro, British pound sterling and yen. To mitigate our foreign currency exchange exposure, we borrow in the
functional currency of the borrowing entity, when appropriate. We also may use foreign currency put option contracts to manage
foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the projected net operating income of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and
53
unconsolidated investees. At December 31, 2009, we had no put option contracts outstanding and, therefore, we may experience
fluctuations in our earnings as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We also have some exposure to movements in exchange rates related to certain intercompany loans we issue from time to time and we
may use foreign currency forward contracts to manage these risks. At December 31, 2009, we had no forward contracts outstanding
and, therefore, we may experience fluctuations in our earnings from the remeasurement of these intercompany loans due to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, there were
no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was conducted as of December 31, 2009 based on the
criteria described in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over
financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the
operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of ProLogis’ management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible
Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), included in ASC subtopic 470-
20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, as of January 1, 2009.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
ProLogis’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report
dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of ProLogis’ internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have audited ProLogis’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
ProLogis’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on ProLogis’ internal control over financial reporting based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, ProLogis maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2009, and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business:
ProLogis, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company” or “ProLogis”), is a publicly held real
estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, operates and develops (directly and through our unconsolidated investees) primarily
industrial properties in North America, Europe and Asia. Through 2008, our business consisted of three reportable business segments:
(i) direct owned; (ii) investment management; and (iii) CDFS business. Our direct owned segment represents the direct long-term
ownership of industrial properties. Our investment management segment represents the long-term investment management of property
funds and joint ventures and the properties they own. Our CDFS business segment primarily encompassed our development or
acquisition of real estate properties that were generally contributed to a property fund in which we had an ownership interest and
managed or sold to third parties. Changes in global economic conditions resulted in changes in our business strategy in late 2008 and
therefore, as of December 31, 2008, our business strategy no longer includes the CDFS business segment. See Note 20 for further
discussion of our business segments.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in our reporting
currency, the U.S. dollar. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.
We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable
interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a
variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through the consideration of the following factors:
(i)
the form of our ownership interest and legal structure;
(ii)
our representation on the entity’s governing body;
(iii)
the size of our investment (including loans);
(iv)
estimates of future cash flows;
(v)
our ability to participate in policy making decisions, including but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of
investment properties and the incurrence or refinancing of debt;
(vi)
the rights of other investors to participate in the decision making process; and
(vii)
the ability for other partners or owners to replace us as manager and/or liquidate the venture, if applicable.
Adjustments and Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2008 and
2007 have been adjusted due to the required retroactive application of a new accounting standard that we adopted as of January 1,
2009, as further discussed below. In addition in 2009, we began reporting the costs associated with our investment management
segment as Investment Management Expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the property-level
management expenses associated with the properties owned by the unconsolidated investees (previously included in Rental Expenses)
and the direct expenses associated with the asset management of the property funds (previously included in General and
Administrative Expenses). Therefore, we have reclassified these expenses in 2008 and 2007, as well as certain other 2008 and 2007
amounts, to conform to the 2009 financial statement presentation. We have evaluated all subsequent events for adjustment to or
disclosure in these financial statements through the issuance of these financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Although we believe the assumptions and
estimates we made are reasonable and appropriate, as discussed in the applicable sections throughout these Consolidated Financial
Statements, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported results. The current economic environment has
increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions and changes in market conditions could impact our
future operating results.

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Foreign Operations. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees
operating in the United States and Mexico and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries that operate as holding companies for foreign
investments. The functional currency for our consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees operating in countries other than
the United States and Mexico is the principal currency in which the entity’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses are denominated,
which may be different from the local currency of the country of incorporation or the country where the entity conducts its operations.
The functional currencies of our consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees generally include the British pound sterling,
Canadian dollar, euro, Japanese yen and Korean won. The Chinese remnimbi was also a functional currency through February 2009
and is included in discontinued operations. We are parties to business transactions denominated in these and other currencies.
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate their financial statements into
U.S. dollars at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the
exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) in ProLogis Shareholders’ Equity. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity-related accounts, are
reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period and
income statement accounts that represent significant non-recurring transactions are translated at the rate in effect as of the date of the
transaction. We translate our share of the net earnings or losses of our unconsolidated investees whose functional currency is not the
U.S. dollar at the average exchange rate for the period.
We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third party debt that is not denominated in the entity’s
functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting
adjustment is generally reflected in results of operations, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature. The
remeasurement of such long-term debt results in the recognition of a cumulative translation adjustment in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) in ProLogis Shareholders’ Equity.
Gains or losses are included in results of operations when transactions with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the
entity’s functional currency, are settled. We occasionally utilize derivative financial instruments to manage certain foreign currency
exchange risks.
We are subject to foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between certain foreign currencies and the
U.S. dollar. A significant change in the value of the foreign currency of one or more countries where we have a significant investment
would have an effect on our reported results of operations and financial position. Although we attempt to mitigate adverse effects by
borrowing under debt agreements denominated in the same functional currency as the investment and, on occasion and when deemed
appropriate, through the use of derivative contracts, there can be no assurance that those attempts to mitigate foreign currency risk will
be successful.
See our policy footnote on financial instruments and Note 18 for more information related to our derivative financial instruments.
Business Combinations. In December 2007, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard
for business combinations that we adopted January 1, 2009. This accounting standard requires most identifiable assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value”. This accounting standard
broadened the scope of what qualifies as a business combination to include the acquisition of an operating property by us and our
unconsolidated investees. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business that were previously capitalized are expensed under
this new standard. The transaction costs related to the acquisition of land and equity method investments continue to be capitalized.
This accounting standard requires subsequent adjustments of tax uncertainties that occur after the purchase price allocation period to
be recognized in earnings. Previously, these adjustments were recognized in the purchase price as an adjustment to goodwill. The
initial adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, although it
may have a more significant impact in the future depending on our acquisition activity.
When we acquire a business or individual operating properties, with the intention to hold the investment for the long-term, we allocate
the purchase price to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. We estimate the
following:
66
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
the fair value of the buildings as if vacant;
— The fair value allocated to land is generally based on relevant
market data.
— The value of each lease is recorded in either other assets or
other liabilities, as appropriate.
— These costs are recorded in other assets.
— Any discount or premium is included in the principal amount.

leases based upon our best estimate of current
market rents;
the value of costs to obtain tenants, primarily
leasing commissions;

discounting future cash flows using rates
currently available for debt with similar terms
and maturities;

discounting future expected cash flows under
these contracts; and
the value of all other assumed assets and
liabilities based on

We amortize the acquired assets or liabilities as follows:

Above and below market leases are charged to rental income over the average remaining estimated life of the lease.
Leasing commissions are charged to amortization expense over the average remaining estimated life of the lease.
Debt discount or premium is charged to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of
the related debt.
Management contracts are charged against income over the remaining term of the contract.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. A gain may be recognized to the extent the purchase price is less than the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets
acquired.
Long-Lived Assets
Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets are carried at depreciated cost. Costs incurred that are directly associated with the successful
acquisition of real estate assets were capitalized as part of the investment basis of the real estate assets through December 31, 2008.
Beginning January 1, 2009, these costs are now expensed as discussed above, other than as they relate to the acquisition of land. Costs
incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets are capitalized as part of the investment basis of the
real estate assets. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred.
During the land development and construction periods of qualifying projects, we capitalize interest costs, insurance, real estate taxes
and general and administrative costs of the personnel performing the development, renovation, rehabilitation and leasing activities; if
such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity. Capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate
assets, except for the costs capitalized related to leasing activities that are included in other assets. When a municipal district finances
costs we incur for public infrastructure improvements, we record the costs in real estate until we are reimbursed.
67
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The depreciable portions of real estate assets are charged to depreciation expense on a straight-line basis over their respective
estimated useful lives. Depreciation commences at the earlier of stabilization (defined as 93% occupied) or one year after completion
of construction. We generally use the following useful lives: 5 to 7 years for capital improvements, 10 years for standard tenant
improvements, 25 years for depreciable land improvements on developed buildings, 30 years for industrial properties acquired,
40 years for office and retail properties acquired and 40 years for properties we develop. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized over
the respective lease term. Our average lease term for all leases in effect at December 31, 2009 was between five and six years. Prior to
2008, if we developed properties with the intent to contribute the property to a property fund, we did not depreciate these properties
during the period from the completion of the development through the date the property was contributed. With the changes in our
business strategy, and the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future contributions to the property funds, we expect to hold these
properties long-term and began to depreciate them in 2008.
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by comparison of the carrying
amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review our assets for recoverability, we consider
current market conditions, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Fair value is determined through
various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow models; quoted market values; and third party appraisals, where
considered necessary. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted
cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair
value of the real estate property.
We estimate the future undiscounted cash flows based on our intent as follows:
(i)
for real estate properties that we intend to hold long-term, including land held for development, properties currently
under development and operating buildings, recoverability is assessed based on the estimated future net rental income
from operating the property;
(ii)
for land parcels we intend to sell, recoverability is assessed based on estimated fair value, less costs to sell;
(iii)
for real estate properties currently under development and operating buildings we intend to sell, recoverability is
assessed based on proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on future net rental income of the property and
expected market capitalization rates; and
(iv)
for costs incurred related to the potential acquisition of land or development of a real estate property, recoverability is
assessed based on the probability that the acquisition or development is likely to occur as of the measurement date.
The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the
strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. However, assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, discount rates
and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and our ultimate investment intent
that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate
properties.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a
business combination. We perform an annual impairment test for goodwill at the reporting unit level. The annual review is performed
during the fourth quarter for all our reporting units. Additionally, we evaluate the recoverability of goodwill whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill may not be fully recoverable.
We use a two step approach to our goodwill impairment evaluation. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify
whether there is any potential impairment. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its corresponding book value, including
goodwill, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed. The second step
requires that we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill to measure
the amount of impairment loss, if any.
68
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Generally, we use net asset value analyses to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit where the goodwill is allocated. We estimate
the current fair value of the assets and liabilities in the reporting unit through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash
flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third-party
appraisals, as considered necessary. The fair value of the reporting unit also includes an enterprise value premium that we estimate a
third party would be willing to pay for the particular reporting unit. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions
that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business.
However, assumptions and estimates about future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective.
Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and
result in future impairment of our goodwill.
Assets Held for Sale and 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
involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The results of operations of a component of our
business or properties that have been classified as discontinued operations are also reported as discontinued operations for all periods
presented. We classify a component of our business or property as held for sale when certain criteria are met. At such time, the
respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciation is no longer recognized.
Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the costs to sell the assets.
Properties disposed of to third parties are considered discontinued operations unless such properties were developed under a pre-sale
agreement. Properties contributed to property funds in which we maintain an ownership interest, act as manager and account for the
property fund under the equity method are not considered discontinued operations due to our continuing involvement with the
properties.
Investments in Unconsolidated Investees. Our investments in certain entities are presented under the equity method. The equity
method is used when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee but do
not have control of the investee. Under the equity method, these investments (including advances to the investee) are initially
recognized in the balance sheet at our cost and are subsequently adjusted to reflect our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of
the investee, distributions received, deferred gains from the contribution of properties and certain other adjustments, as appropriate.
When circumstances indicate there may have been a reduction in the value of an equity investment, we evaluate the equity investment
and any advances made for impairment by estimating our ability to recover our investment from future expected cash flows. If we
determine the loss in value is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the equity investment and any
advances made at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are financial
instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We invest our cash with high-credit quality institutions. Cash balances
may be invested in money market accounts that are not insured. We have not realized any losses in such cash investments or accounts
and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Convertible Debt. In May 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard that required separate accounting for the debt and equity
components of certain convertible debt, such as the debt we have issued. The value assigned to the debt component is the estimated
fair value at the date of issuance of a similar bond without the conversion feature, which results in the debt being recorded at a
discount. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the estimated remaining life of the debt (the first cash redemption date in 2012
and 2013 for our outstanding convertible notes) as additional non-cash interest expense. We adopted this accounting standard on
January 1, 2009 on a retroactive basis to the convertible notes we issued in 2007 and 2008. As a result, we adjusted 2008 and 2007
amounts to reflect the adjustments to debt and equity, as well as the additional interest expense. This adjustment also impacted the
interest we would have capitalized related to our development activities for both properties we currently own, as well as properties
that were contributed or sold during the periods the convertible notes were outstanding.
The following tables illustrate the impact of this accounting standard on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated
Statements of Operations for these periods (in thousands):

financial statements. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2009, which required noncontrolling interests (previously
referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, and changed the accounting for transactions with
noncontrolling interest holders. The adoption of the accounting standard changed the classification and reporting of our noncontrolling
interests.
We recognize the noncontrolling interests in real estate partnerships in which we consolidate using each noncontrolling holder’s
respective share of the estimated fair value of the real estate as of the date of formation. Noncontrolling interest that was created or
assumed as a part of a business combination is recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. Noncontrolling interest is
subsequently adjusted for additional contributions, distributions to noncontrolling holders and the noncontrolling holders’
proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of each respective entity.
Certain limited partnership interests issued by us in connection with the formation of a real estate partnership and as consideration in a
business combination are exchangeable into our common shares. Common shares issued upon exchange of a holder’s noncontrolling
interest are accounted for at our carrying value of the surrendered noncontrolling interest.
Costs of Raising Capital. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of both common shares and preferred shares are treated as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance or renewal of debt are capitalized in other assets,
and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

Revenue Recognition.
Rental and other income. We lease our operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. We
recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally,
under the terms of our leases, some or all of our rental expenses are recovered from our customers. We reflect amounts recovered from
customers as a component of rental income. A provision for possible loss is made if the collection of a receivable balance is
considered doubtful. Some of our retail and ground leases provide for additional rent based on sales over a stated base amount during
the lease year. We recognize this additional rent when each customer’s sales exceed their sales threshold. We recognize interest
income and management, development and other fees and incentives when earned, fixed and determinable.
Gains on Disposition of Real Estate. Gains on the disposition of real estate are recorded when the recognition criteria have been met,
generally at the time title is transferred, and we no longer have substantial continuing involvement with the real estate sold.
When we contribute a property to a property fund or joint venture in which we have an ownership interest, we do not recognize a
portion of the gain realized. If a loss is realized it is recognized when known. The amount of gain not recognized, based on our
ownership interest in the entity acquiring the property, is deferred by recognizing a reduction to our investment in the applicable
unconsolidated investee. We adjust our proportionate share of net earnings or losses recognized in future periods to reflect the
investees’ recorded depreciation expense as if it were computed on our lower basis in the contributed properties rather than on the
entity’s basis. Through 2008, we reflected the gains recognized from contributions of CDFS properties to property funds and joint
ventures in operating cash flows. As a result of the changes in our segments in 2009, these gains are now included in investing
activities.
When a property that we originally contributed to a property fund or joint venture is disposed of to a third party, we recognize the
amount of the gain we had previously deferred, along with our proportionate share of the gain recognized by the investee. During
periods when our ownership interest in an investee decreases, we recognize gains relating to previously deferred gains to coincide with
our new ownership interest in the investee.
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses primarily include the cost of on-site property management personnel, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, property insurance and real estate taxes.
Investment Management Expenses. These costs include the property management expenses associated with the property-level
management of the properties owned by our unconsolidated investees (previously included in Rental Expenses) and the direct
investment management expenses associated with the asset management of the property funds (previously included in General and
Administrative Expenses).
Share-Based Compensation. We account for stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. We recognize the cost over the
period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period. We treat
dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) as dividends, which are charged to retained earnings and factored into the computation of the fair
value of the underlying share award at grant date. See Note 12 for more information on our stock based compensation.
Income Taxes. ProLogis was formed as a Maryland REIT in January 1993 and we have, along with our consolidated REIT subsidiary,
elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Under the Code, REITs are
generally not required to pay federal income taxes if they distribute 100% of their taxable income and meet certain income, asset and
shareholder tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate
rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even as
a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our own income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on
our undistributed taxable income.
We have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for some of our consolidated subsidiaries. This allows us to provide services
that would otherwise be considered impermissible for REITs. Many of the foreign countries in which we have operations do not
recognize REITs or do not accord REIT status under their respective tax laws to our entities that operate in their jurisdiction. In the
United States, we are taxed in certain states in which we operate. Accordingly, we recognize income tax expense for the federal and
71
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
state income taxes incurred by our TRSs, taxes incurred in certain states and foreign jurisdictions, and interest and penalties associated
with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities.
In July 2006, the FASB issued an interpretation of the existing accounting standard for accounting for income taxes. The interpretation
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The interpretation
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on various income tax accounting issues, including derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result, we may recognize the tax
benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by
taxing authorities. We adopted the provisions of this interpretation in 2007 and, as a result, we recognized a $9.3 million increase in
the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of distributions in
excess of net earnings.
Deferred income taxes are recognized in certain taxable entities. Deferred income tax is generally a function of the period’s temporary
differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes), the utilization of tax net operating
losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities
related to indemnification agreements related to certain contributions to property funds. A valuation allowance for deferred income tax
assets is provided if we believe all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Any increase or decrease in
the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances that causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related
deferred income tax asset is included in deferred tax expense. See Note 15 for further discussion of income taxes.
Financial Instruments. We may use certain types of derivative financial instruments for the purpose of managing certain foreign
currency exchange rate and interest rate risk. We reflect our derivative financial instruments at fair value and record changes in the fair
value of these derivatives each period in earnings, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. To qualify for hedge accounting
treatment, generally the derivative instruments used for risk management purposes must effectively reduce the risk exposure that they
are designed to hedge (primarily interest rate swaps) and, if a derivative instrument is utilized to hedge an anticipated transaction, the
anticipated transaction must be probable of occurring. Derivative instruments meeting these hedging criteria are formally designated
as hedges at the inception of the contract.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of an effective hedge are recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the hedged items. The ineffective portion of a
hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings to the extent that the change in value of the derivative instrument does not
perfectly offset the change in value of the item being hedged. We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments through a variety
of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. Primarily, we use
quoted market prices or quotes from brokers or dealers for the same or similar instruments. These values represent a general
approximation of possible value and may never actually be realized.
In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard that required enhanced disclosures related to derivative instruments and
hedging activities. This accounting standard required disclosures relating to: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments;
(ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1,
2009 and as it only required enhanced disclosures, the adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements. See Note 18 for information on our financial instruments.
Fair value measurements. On January 1, 2008, we adopted a new accounting standard for our financial assets and liabilities,
primarily derivative instruments, to which either we or our unconsolidated investees are a party. This accounting standard established
a framework for measuring fair value and disclosures about fair value measurements. On January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions
of this accounting standard for our non-financial assets and liabilities.
We have estimated fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these
purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they
are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize upon disposition. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad
levels, which are described below:
•
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
72
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
•
•
Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value
of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar
techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Environmental costs. We incur certain environmental remediation costs, including cleanup costs, consulting fees for environmental
studies and investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs relating to cleanup, litigation defense, and the pursuit of responsible third
parties. Costs incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold are expensed. Costs related to
undeveloped land are capitalized as development costs. Costs incurred for properties to be disposed are included in the cost of the
properties upon disposition. We maintain a liability for the estimated costs of environmental remediation expected to be incurred in
connection with undeveloped land, operating properties and properties previously sold that we adjust as appropriate as information
becomes available.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will be effective on January 1,
2010. This accounting standard is a revision to a previous FASB interpretation and changes how a reporting entity evaluates whether
an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and which entity is considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE and is therefore required
to consolidate such VIE. This accounting standard will also require continuous reassessments of which party within the VIE is
considered the primary beneficiary and will require a number of new disclosures related to VIE’s. We are still evaluating this
accounting standard but do not believe that it will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations upon
adoption.
On July 1, 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”) that establishes the
exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements, except for Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all
existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
3. Sale of China Operations and Property Fund Interest in Japan
On February 9, 2009, we sold our operations in China and our property fund interests in Japan to affiliates of GIC Real Estate, the real
estate investment company of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (“GIC RE”), for total cash consideration of
$1.3 billion ($845.5 million related to China and $500.0 million related to the Japan investments). We used these proceeds primarily to
pay down borrowings on our credit facilities.
All of the assets and liabilities associated with our China operations were classified as Discontinued Operations — Assets and
Liabilities Held for Sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008, at which time we recognized an
impairment of $198.2 million. At the completion of the sale in 2009, we recognized a net gain of $3.3 million. The results of our
China operations, including the impairment and gain on sale, are presented as discontinued operations in our accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods.
In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a net gain of $180.2 million. The gain is
reflected as CDFS Proceeds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it represents the recognition of previously deferred gains
on the contribution of properties to these property funds based on our ownership interest in the property funds at the time of original
contribution. We also recognized $20.5 million in current income tax expense related to a portion of the transaction.
In addition, as part of this transaction, we entered into an agreement to sell one property in Japan to GIC RE. Therefore, this property
was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008, along with borrowings of $108.6 million under our credit facilities, and its
operations have been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations. In April 2009, we sold the Japan property for proceeds of $128.1 million, resulting in a gain of $13.1 million. See Note 8
for detail of all amounts included in discontinued operations.

During 2009, we recognized net gains of $35.3 million related to the contribution of properties ($13.0 million), the recognition of
previously deferred gains from PEPR and ProLogis Korea Fund on properties they sold to third parties ($9.9 million), the sale of land
parcels ($6.4 million), and a gain on settlement of an obligation to our fund partner in connection with the restructure of the North
American Industrial Fund II ($6.0 million). The contribution activity resulted in total cash proceeds of $643.7 million and included 43
properties aggregating 9.2 million square feet to ProLogis European Property Fund II (“PEPF II”).
If we realize a gain on contribution of a property, we recognize the portion attributable to the third party ownership in the property
fund until the property is sold to a third party. If we realize a loss on contribution, we recognize the full amount of the impairment as
soon as it is known. Due to our continuing involvement through our ownership in the property fund, these dispositions are not
included in discontinued operations. As discussed earlier, in 2008 and 2007, contribution activity was reported as CDFS Proceeds and
Cost of CDFS Dispositions within our CDFS business segment. See Note 8 for further discussion of properties we sold to third parties
that are reported in discontinued operations.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment charges of $331.6 and $274.7 million, respectively,
related to our real estate. See Note 14 for further discussion of these impairment charges.
Prior to 2008, we identified properties that we developed or acquired with the intent to contribute to an unconsolidated property fund.
Our policy was to not depreciate these properties during the period from completion or acquisition until their contribution to the
property fund. In 2008, in connection with the changes in our business strategy discussed earlier, including uncertainty as to when, or
if, these properties will be contributed and our intent to hold and operate these properties for our own use, we no longer identify
specific properties for contribution to property funds. As a result, we recorded a $30.9 million adjustment to depreciation expense to
depreciate these properties through December 31, 2008.
Operating Lease Agreements
We lease our operating properties and certain land parcels to customers under agreements that are generally classified as operating
leases. Our largest customer and 25 largest customers accounted for 2.28% and 21.39%, respectively, of our annualized collected base
rents at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, minimum lease payments on leases with lease periods greater than one year for
space in our operating properties and leases of land subject to ground leases, during each of the years in the five-year period ending
December 31, 2014 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

These amounts do not reflect future rental revenues from the renewal or replacement of existing leases and exclude reimbursements of
operating expenses. In addition to minimum rental payments, our customers pay reimbursements for their pro rata share of specified
operating expenses, which amounted to $194.8 million, $210.9 million and $197.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007, respectively. These reimbursements are reflected as rental income and rental expenses in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
5. Acquisitions:
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25% investment in the retail business of Parkridge Holdings
Limited (“Parkridge”), a European developer. The total purchase price was $1.3 billion, which was financed with $733.9 million in
cash, including amounts settled in cash subsequent to the purchase date, the issuance of 4.8 million common shares (valued for
accounting purposes at $71.01 per share for a total of $339.5 million) and the assumption of $191.5 million in debt and other
liabilities. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded with borrowings under our credit facilities.
75
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The acquisition included 6.3 million square feet of operating distribution properties, including developments under construction, and
1,139 acres of land, primarily in Central Europe and the United Kingdom. We allocated the purchase price based on estimated fair
values and recorded approximately $724.7 million of real estate assets, $156.3 million of investments in joint ventures and other
unconsolidated investees, $58.1 million of cash and other tangible assets and $325.8 million of goodwill and other intangible assets,
which are included in Other Assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of
$175.4 million related to this allocated goodwill (see Note 14). The Parkridge acquisition would not have had a material impact on our
consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, and as such, we have not presented any pro forma financial
information.

Property Funds
We have investments in several property funds that own portfolios of operating industrial properties. Many of these properties were
originally developed by ProLogis and contributed to these property funds, although certain of the property funds have also acquired
properties from third parties. When we contribute a property to a property fund, we may receive ownership interests as part of the
proceeds generated by the contribution. We earn fees for acting as manager of the property funds and the properties they own. We
may earn additional fees by providing other services including, but not limited to, acquisition, development, construction
management, leasing and financing activities. We may also earn incentive performance returns based on the investors’ returns over a
specified period.

(2) During 2009, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $28.5 million, representing the carrying value of our investments
in ProLogis North American Properties Fund IX and X. We recorded the impairment charge due to recent events, which indicated
that we may not be able to recover our investment balances. The impairment charge was included in Impairment of Goodwill and
Other Assets in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(3) We refer to the combined entities in which we have ownership interests with ten institutional investors as one property fund
named ProLogis North American Industrial Fund. Our ownership percentage is based on our levels of ownership interest in these
different entities. During 2009, we made capital contributions of $54.1 million, representing our share of the additional capital
called by this property fund to repay outstanding borrowings on its credit facilities and secured mortgage debt.
(4) In July 2007, we acquired all of the units in Macquarie ProLogis Trust, an Australian listed property trust (“MPR”) which had an
88.7% ownership interest in ProLogis North American Properties Fund V. The total consideration was approximately $2.0 billion
consisting of cash in the amount of $1.2 billion and assumed liabilities of $0.8 billion. We entered into foreign currency forward
contracts to economically hedge the purchase price of MPR. As this type of contract does not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment, we recognized gains of $26.6 million in 2007 when the contract settled that are included in Foreign Currency Exchange
Gains (Losses), Net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As a result of the MPR acquisition, we owned 100% and consolidated the results of the assets for approximately two months in
2007, at which time the lender converted certain of the bridge debt into equity of a new property fund, ProLogis North American
Industrial Fund II, in which we have a 37.0% equity interest at December 31, 2009. Upon conversion by the lender in the third
quarter of 2007, we recognized net gains of $68.6 million that are reflected in proceeds from and costs of CDFS Acquired
Property Portfolios in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On July 1, 2009, we and our fund partner amended a loan agreement and the governing documents of this property fund. The
property fund extended the term of a $411.3 million loan payable to an affiliate of our fund partner, which was scheduled to
mature in July 2009, until 2014 with an option for an additional extension until 2016. As part of the restructuring, we made an
$85.0 million cash capital contribution to the property fund and we may be required to make an additional cash contribution in the
future of up to $25.0 million for the repayment of debt or other obligations. In addition, we pledged properties we own directly,
valued at approximately $275.0 million, to serve as additional collateral on the loan and related interest rate swap contract. As a
result, we are entitled to receive a 10% preferred distribution on all new contributions paid out of operating cash flow prior to
other distributions. Upon liquidation of the property fund, we are entitled to receive a 10% preferred return per annum on our
initial equity investment and the return of our total investment prior to any other distributions.
(5) We refer to the combined entities in which we have ownership interests as one property fund named ProLogis Mexico Industrial
Fund, which was formed with several institutional investors in September 2007. During 2008, we loaned this property fund
$153.1 million that was used to repay bridge financing that had matured and for a portion of the costs related to a third party
acquisition. Through December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fund had repaid $138.7 million and $137.9 million, respectively, of this
loan primarily with proceeds obtained from third party financing. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin and is payable
upon demand.
(6) In December 2008, we purchased units in PEPF II from PEPR that represented a 20% interest for €43 million ($61.1 million) and
assumed €348 million of PEPR’s future equity commitments related to these units. The units were purchased at a discount to net
asset value due to PEPR’s near-term liquidity needs. In January 2009, PEPR received offers for their remaining 10.4% interest in
PEPF II for €10.5 million. As a result of the sale of units to us and the impairment of their remaining ownership (based on offers
received), PEPR recognized a total loss of €310.9 million ($434.3 million) in 2008. Our share of this loss, reflected as Earnings
(Loss) from Unconsolidated Property Funds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $108.2 million.
In December 2009, PEPR issued €61 million of preferred units with a 10.5% dividend that were offered to its current investors.
We invested €41.6 million ($59.4 million) in 7.0 million preferred units that are included in our investment balance. The preferred
units are convertible into common units at a rate of one for one at our option. PEPR has the option to redeem the units after seven
years or in certain limited circumstances.
(7) PEPF II was formed with several third party investors in July 2007. From July 2007 through December 2008, we owned
approximately 24% of PEPF II, which included an indirect interest through PEPR’s 30% interest. Our ownership interest has
changed based on PEPR’s sale of its 10.4% interest in PEPF II in January 2009 and due to the contributions of properties we
made to PEPR II in 2009.
(8) On February 9, 2009, we sold our interests in the Japan property funds (see Note 3).
Equity Commitments Related to Certain Property Funds
Certain property funds have equity commitments from us and our fund partners. We may fulfill our equity commitment through
contributions of properties or cash or we may not be required to fulfill them before expiration. Our fund partners fulfill their equity
commitment with cash. We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties that we develop and stabilize in
Europe and Mexico to these respective funds. These property funds are committed to acquire such properties, subject to certain
exceptions, including that the properties meet certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the property funds have available
capital. We are not obligated to contribute properties at a loss. Depending on market conditions, our liquidity needs and other factors,
we may make contributions of properties to these property funds through the remaining commitment period in 2010.
The following table outlines the activity of these commitments in 2009 (in millions):

facility and to repay certain secured mortgage debt, which resulted in a gain on early extinguishment of $31.1 million. In
February 2010, the property fund called $23.2 million of capital, including $0.8 million in cash from ProLogis, to acquire one
property from us. The remaining equity commitments expire at the end of February 2010.
(2) ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund may use the remaining equity commitments to pay down existing debt or other liabilities,
including amounts due to us, or to make acquisitions of properties from us or third parties depending on market conditions and
other factors.
(3) PEPF II’s equity commitments are denominated in euro. The ProLogis commitments include a commitment on the Series B units
we acquired from PEPR in December 2008 that we are required to fund with cash. During 2009, we contributed 43 properties to
PEPF II for gross proceeds of $643.7 million that were financed by PEPF II with all equity, including our co-investment of
$152.7 million in cash under this commitment. We did not make any contributions in 2009 under the Series A commitment. We
are not required to fund the remaining Series A commitment in cash and we anticipate it will expire unused.
(4) Excludes commitments related to the ProLogis Korea Fund as the agreements were amended and there are no longer any
remaining commitments.
Generally, the properties are contributed based on third-party appraised value, other than PEPF II in 2009. For contributions we made
in 2009 to PEPF II, the capitalization rate was determined based on a third party appraisal then a margin of 0.25 to 0.75 percentage
points was added to the capitalization rate, depending on the quarter the properties were contributed. We may receive additional
proceeds for the 2009 contributions if values at the end of 2010 are higher than those used to determine contribution values.
In addition to the capital contributions we made under these commitments, we also made additional discretionary investments in the
property funds of $173.5 million in 2009. These investments included the purchase of preferred convertible units in PEPR
($59.4 million), a preferred investment in ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II ($85.0 million), contributions to ProLogis
North American Properties Fund XI and ProLogis North American Properties Fund I to repay debt ($3.7 million) and advances to
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III ($25.4 million).
Summarized financial information of the property funds on a combined basis (for the entire entity, not our proportionate share) and
our investments in such funds is presented below (dollars in millions):

(1) The variances in the revenues, total assets, third party debt and total liabilities of the European property funds between 2008 and
2009 are mainly as a result of changes in the size of the property portfolios due to contributions of properties to PEPF II and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which we use to translate the assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars.
(2) The reduction in revenues, net earnings, total assets, third party debt and total liabilities relating to the Asian property funds
between 2008 and 2009 was due to the sale of our interests in the Japan property funds in February 2009 (see Note 3).
(3) In 2007, two of the North America property funds entered into interest rate forward swap contracts and designated them as cash
flow hedges. Certain of these derivative contracts no longer met the requirements for hedge accounting and, therefore, the change
in fair value of these contracts was recognized within earnings, along with the gain or loss upon settlement. As a result, included
in net earnings (loss) from North America for 2009 and 2008 are net losses of $17.1 million and $77.0 million, respectively.
During 2009, the North American Funds that own properties in Mexico recognized $79.5 million of deferred tax expense. In
2009, two North American property funds recorded impairment charges aggregating $11.1 million related to properties they
planned to sell. In 2009, ProLogis North American Industrial Fund repaid debt scheduled to mature in 2011 and 2012 at a
discount that resulted in the recognition of a $31.1 million gain on early extinguishment of debt.
(4) During 2009, PEPR sold 14 properties to unrelated third parties resulting in a loss of $15.3 million. The Europe results include
properties that we contributed to PEPF II during 2009. Included in the net loss for Europe in 2008 was the loss on sale and
impairment of PEPR’s investment in PEPF II, as discussed above, of $434.3 million.
(5) During 2009, we and our fund partner each loaned $25.4 million to ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III that was used to
repay maturing debt of the property fund. These notes will be paid with operating cash flow, mature at dissolution of the property
fund and bear interest at LIBOR plus 8%. As of December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance was $22.6 million. In addition, as of

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 2009 and 2008, ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund had a note payable to us for $14.3 million and $15.3 million,
respectively. The remaining amounts represent current balances from services provided by us.
(6) As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had not guaranteed any of the third party debt of the property funds. On July 1, 2009, in
connection with the restructuring and amendment of the partnership and loan agreements discussed earlier, we pledged direct
owned properties, valued at approximately $275 million, to serve as additional collateral for the loan of ProLogis North
American Industrial Fund II that is payable to an affiliate of our fund partner and for the related interest rate swap contract.
(7) Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all property funds combined based on each entity’s contribution to total
assets, before depreciation, net of other liabilities.
(8) The difference between our percentage ownership interest in the property fund’s equity and our investment balance results
principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognized from a contribution of one of our
properties to a property fund as a result of our continuing ownership in the property (see next footnote); (ii) recording additional
costs associated with our investment in the property fund; and (iii) advances to the property fund.
(9) This amount is recorded as a reduction to our investment and represents the gains that were deferred when we contributed a
property to a property fund due to our continuing ownership in the property.
Other unconsolidated investees
We have investments in entities that develop and own industrial and retail properties, perform land and mixed-use development
activity, own a hotel and office properties. The amounts we have recognized as our proportionate share of the earnings (loss) from our

The investment in Europe includes our 25% ownership interest in and advances to an entity that develops retail and mixed use
properties. As a result of the decline in global market conditions during the fourth quarter of 2008, we evaluated the recoverability of
our investment in and advances to this entity, and recognized an impairment charge of $113.7 million. We also began evaluating our
options associated with this investment. During the second quarter of 2009, the entity’s shareholders and lenders approved a
restructuring plan that included using the proceeds received from the orderly disposition of assets to repay debt. During the fourth
quarter of 2009, we reviewed the entity’s progress with executing this plan, the cash generated from asset sales and estimated future
cash flows. As a result of this review, we evaluated the recoverability of our investment in and advances to the entity and recognized a
further impairment charge of $115.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. Included in the 2009 impairment charge is
$25.1 million that represents the cumulative translation losses we had recognized on this investment that were previously included as a
component of equity. At December 31, 2009, we have a remaining balance of $45.0 million of advances that we expect to recover
based on estimated future cash flows from the entity’s disposition of assets.
The investment in Asia relates to a new joint venture in Japan to which we contributed land. The joint venture is with one partner and
is accounted for under the equity method, as we do not have majority voting rights and all substantive decisions require unanimous
consent of both us and our partner. Our partner is responsible for funding 51% of the costs of construction and we are responsible for

49%. The joint venture intends to obtain secured financing and use the proceeds to reimburse our costs of construction. After the
financing is in place, our total investment in this joint venture is expected to equal our land investment balance and represent 60% of
the joint venture equity.

The operations of the properties held for sale or disposed of to third parties, including our China operations, and the aggregate net
gains recognized upon their disposition are presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for all
periods presented, unless the property was developed under a pre-sale agreement. Interest expense is included in discontinued
operations only if it is directly attributable to these operations or properties.
During 2009, other than our China operations, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 140 properties to third parties
aggregating 14.8 million square feet, 3 of which were development properties. This includes a portfolio of 90 properties aggregating
9.6 million square feet that we continue to manage that were sold to a single venture during the second quarter. During 2008, we
disposed of land subject to ground leases and 15 properties to third parties, 6 of which were development properties.
Income attributable to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In August 2009, we amended our Global Line to, among other things, extend the maturity to August 21, 2012 and reduce the size of
the aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion, after October 2010, from the current level of $3.7 billion (in each case subject to currency
fluctuations). The Global Line includes covenants that may limit the amount of indebtedness that we and our subsidiaries can incur to
an amount that may be less than the aggregate lender commitments under the Global Line, depending on the timing and use of
proceeds of the borrowings. The borrowing base covenant in the Global Line limits the aggregate amount of indebtedness (including
obligations under the Global Line and other recourse indebtedness maturing within one year) to no more than 55% of the value
(determined by a formula as of the end of each fiscal quarter) of our unencumbered property pool, as defined in the Global Line.
Our current availability to borrow under the Global Line is calculated as the lesser of (i) the aggregate lender commitments and (ii) the
borrowing capacity, in each case reduced by the outstanding borrowings, letters of credit and recourse debt due within one year;
resulting in current availability of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2009. Therefore, the amount of funds that we may borrow under the
Global Line will vary from time to time based upon the outstanding amount of such specified indebtedness and the quarterly formulaic
valuation of our unencumbered property pool. Our current availability to borrow would remain $1.1 billion at December 31, 2009,
even if the aggregate lender commitments were reduced to $2.25 billion.
We may draw funds from a syndicate of banks in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars, and
until October 2010, South Korean won. Lenders who did not participate in the amended and extended facility will be subject to the
pre-amendment pricing structure through October 2010, while the new pricing structure is effective immediately to extending lenders.
Based on our public debt ratings and a pricing grid, interest on the borrowings under the Global Line accrues at a variable rate based
upon the interbank offered rate in each respective jurisdiction in which the borrowings are outstanding and we pay utilization fees that
are calculated on the outstanding balance. The interest and utilization fees result in a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.27% per
annum at December 31, 2009 using local currency rates.
Senior and Other Notes
On August 14, 2009, we issued $350.0 million of 7.625% senior notes maturing in 2014, at 99.489% of par value for an all-in-rate of
7.75%. On October 30, 2009 we issued $600.0 million of 7.375% senior notes maturing October 2019, at 99.728% of par value for an
all-in-rate of 7.414%. We used the proceeds from both issuances to repay borrowings under our Global Line and other debt.
During 2009, we repaid maturing notes of $303.1 million primarily with borrowings under our Global Line.

(2) We issued these notes in August 2009.
(3) Beginning on February 1, 2010, and through February 1, 2015, requires annual principal payments ranging from $10.0 million to

(6) We issued these notes in October 2009.
(7) Represents notes with principal outstanding of €101.3 million.
Our obligations under the senior notes are effectively subordinated in certain respects to any of our debt that is secured by a lien on
real property, to the extent of the value of such real property. The senior notes require interest payments be made quarterly, semi-
annually or annually.
We have designated the senior and other notes and our credit facilities as “Designated Senior Debt” under and as defined in the
Amended and Restated Security Agency Agreement dated as of October 6, 2005 (the “Security Agency Agreement”) among various
creditors (or their representatives) and Bank of America, N.A., as Collateral Agent. The Security Agency Agreement provides that all
Designated Senior Debt holders will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, have the benefit of certain pledged intercompany
receivables and share payments and other recoveries received post default/post acceleration so that all Designated Senior Debt holders
receive payment of substantially the same percentage of their respective credit obligations. In connection with the amendments to our
Global Line described above, we amended the terms of the Security Agency Agreement to permit us to pledge collateral (“Specified
Collateral”) to the holders of certain Designated Senior Debt (“Specified DS Debt”) without subjecting that collateral to the sharing
arrangements with other holders of Designated Senior Debt. The Specified Collateral may include any property owned by us or any of
our consolidated subsidiaries, except that no property that constitutes pledged collateral for all Designated Senior Debt may become
Specified Collateral. No proceeds from Specified Collateral received by holders of Specified DS Debt will be deducted or otherwise
taken into consideration when allocating proceeds among the credit parties pursuant to the Security Agency Agreement unless the
holder of such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full.
All of the senior and other notes are redeemable at any time at our option, subject to certain prepayment penalties. Such redemption
and other terms are governed by the provisions of indenture agreements, various note purchase agreements and a trust deed.
Convertible Notes
We have issued three series of convertible senior notes ($550 million issued May 2008, $1.25 billion issued March 2007 and
$1.12 billion issued November 2007). We refer to the three convertible senior note issuances as “Convertible Notes”. During 2009, we
repurchased portions of the Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $654.0 million, as discussed above.
The Convertible Notes are senior obligations of ProLogis and are convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash, our common
shares or a combination of cash and our common shares, at our option, at a conversion rate per $1,000 of principal amount of the notes
of 13.1614 shares for the March 2007 issuance, 12.2926 shares for the November 2007 issuance and 13.1203 shares for the May 2008
issuance. The initial conversion price ($76.58 for the March 2007 issuance, $82.00 for the November 2007 issuance and $76.22 for the
May 2008 issuance) represented a premium of approximately 20% over the closing price of our common shares at the date of first sale
and is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Convertible Notes, issued in 2007 and 2008, are redeemable at our
option beginning in 2012 and 2013, respectively, for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and at any time prior to
maturity to the extent necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to require us to
repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on specific dates approximately every five years beginning in 2012 and 2013 and at any
87
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
time prior to their maturity upon certain limited circumstances. Therefore, we have reflected these amounts in 2012 and 2013 in the
schedule of debt maturities below based on the first put date and we will amortize the discount through these dates.
While we have the legal right to settle the conversion in either cash or shares, we intend to settle the principal balance of the
Convertible Notes in cash and, therefore, we have not included the effect of the conversion of these notes in our computation of
diluted earnings per share. Based on the current conversion rates, 29.2 million shares would be required to settle the principal amount
in shares. Such potentially dilutive shares, and the corresponding adjustment to interest expense, are not included in our computation
of diluted earnings per share. The amount in excess of the principal balance of the notes (the “Conversion Spread”) will be settled in
cash or, at our option, ProLogis common shares. If the Conversion Spread becomes dilutive to our earnings per share, (i.e., if our share
price exceeds $75.98 for the March 2007 issuance, $81.35 for the November 2007 issuance or $76.22 for the May 2008 issuance) we
will include the shares required to satisfy the conversion spread in our computation of diluted earnings per share.

(2) Represents the effective fixed interest rates including interest rate swap contracts.
(3) Principal due at maturity.
(4) Monthly amortization with a balloon payment due at maturity.
(5) Includes six mortgage notes with interest rates ranging from 4.7% to 7.23%, maturing from 2011 to 2025, primarily requiring
monthly amortization with a balloon payment at maturity. The combined balloon payment for all of the notes is $71.2 million.
(6) The debt is secured by 216 real estate properties with an aggregate undepreciated cost of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2009.
Assessment Bonds
The assessment bonds are issued by municipalities and guaranteed by us as a means of financing infrastructure and are secured by
assessments (similar to property taxes) on various underlying real estate properties with an aggregate undepreciated cost of
$953.0 million at December 31, 2009. Interest rates range from 5.78% per annum to 8.75% per annum. Maturity dates range from
2011 to 2033.
Debt Covenants
We have approximately $6.0 billion of senior notes outstanding as of December 31, 2009, that have been issued under the 1995
indenture (“Original Indenture”) or supplemental indentures. We refer to the Original Indenture, as amended by supplemental
indentures, collectively as the “Indenture”. These senior notes are subject to certain financial covenants. The Convertible Notes,
although issued under the Indenture, are not subject to financial covenants.
On October 1, 2009, at the completion of a consent solicitation with regard to the senior notes, other than the Convertible Notes, we
and the trustee under the Indenture entered into a Ninth Supplemental Indenture (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture”) giving effect to
the Indenture amendments described in the solicitation statement dated September 21, 2009. The Ninth Supplemental Indenture
became operative upon payment of a consent fee. The Indenture amendments are binding on all holders of the senior notes, other than
the Convertible Notes, including non-consenting holders. The amended covenants, defined terms and thresholds for certain events of
default, as included in the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, are consistent with the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, which was entered
into with the trustee in August 2009 in connection with the issuance of $350.0 million of senior notes. Therefore, as of October 1,
2009, all senior notes, other than the Convertible Notes, issued under the Indenture are now subject to one consistent set of financial
covenants, defined terms and thresholds for certain events of default.
In consideration for the consents from the record holders of the solicited notes to the proposed amendments, in October 2009, we paid
to each record holder $2.50 for each $1,000 in principal amount of solicited notes as to which we had received a valid (and unrevoked)
consent on or prior to the consent solicitation expiration date from such record holder. These costs were deferred and will be
amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the notes. In addition, we recognized $14.5 million in fees and expenses
related to the consent solicitation that are included in General and Administrative Expenses in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
As of December 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

(2) Certain properties owned by one of these partnerships cannot be sold, other than in tax-deferred exchanges, prior to the
occurrence of certain events and without the consent of the limited partners. The partnership agreement provides that a minimum
level of debt must be maintained within the partnership, which can include intercompany debt to us.
(3) In 2009 and 2008, outstanding limited partnership units of 413,500 and 3,911,923, respectively, were converted into an equal
number of common shares.
(4) In 2009, outstanding limited partnership units of 9,903 were converted to cash in exchange for the sale of the property that was in
the partnership.
11. ProLogis Shareholders’ Equity:
Shares Authorized
On February 27, 2009, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved Articles of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Amended
and Restated Declaration of Trust. The Amendment increased the total number of shares of beneficial interest that we have the
authority to issue from 375 million to 750 million shares, including an increase in the number of common shares from 363 million to
738 million shares. The Board may, without shareholder approval, increase the number of authorized shares and may classify or
reclassify any unissued shares of our stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting
powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of such shares.
Common Shares
On April 14, 2009, we completed a public offering of 174.8 million common shares at a price of $6.60 per share (“Equity Offering”).
We received net proceeds of $1.1 billion that were used to repay borrowings under our credit facilities.
In February 2007, we issued 4.8 million common shares in connection with the Parkridge acquisition (see Note 5).
We sell and/or issue common shares under various common share plans, including share-based compensation plans as follows:
•
•
•
•
1999 Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, as amended (the “1999 Dividend Reinvestment Plan”): Allows holders
of common shares to automatically reinvest 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 Dividend Reinvestment Plan
through reinvestment of distributions are acquired at a price we determine ranging from 98% to 100% of the market price of
such common shares.
Controlled Offering Program: Currently allows us to sell up to 40 million common shares through one designated agent who
earns a fee up to 2% of the gross proceeds, as agreed on a transaction-by-transaction basis. In 2009, we issued 29.8 million
shares, resulting in 10.2 million shares available for future issuance.
The Incentive Plan and Outside Trustees Plan: Certain of our employees and outside trustees participate in share-based
compensation plans that provide compensation, generally in the form of common shares. See Note 12 for additional
information on these plans.
ProLogis Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Employee Share Plan”): Certain of our employees may purchase
common shares, through payroll deductions only, at a discounted price of 85% of the market price of the common shares. The
aggregate fair value of common shares that an individual employee can acquire in a calendar year under the Employee Share
Plan is $25,000. Subject to certain provisions, the aggregate number of common shares that may be issued under the Employee
Share Plan may not exceed 5.0 million common shares. As of December 31, 2009, we have 4.5 million shares available under
this plan.
Under the plans discussed above, we issued shares and received gross proceeds as follows (in thousands):

Limited partnership units were redeemed into 0.4 million common shares in 2009, 3.9 million common shares in 2008, and 128,000
common shares in 2007 (see Note 10).
We have approximately $84.1 million remaining on our Board authorization to repurchase common shares that began in 2001. We
have not repurchased our common shares since 2003.
Preferred Shares
At December 31, 2009, we had three series of preferred shares outstanding (“Series C Preferred Shares”, “Series F Preferred Shares”,
and “Series G Preferred Shares”). Holders of each series of preferred shares 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 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 our 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 our other capital shares, 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 the other series of preferred shares.
Our preferred shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 are summarized as follows:
Series C Preferred Shares..............................................................................................................
Series F Preferred Shares ..............................................................................................................

Date
For us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, five or fewer individuals may not own more than 50% of the value of our outstanding
shares of beneficial interest at any time during the last half of our taxable year. Therefore, our Declaration of Trust restricts beneficial
ownership (or ownership generally attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest by a
single person, or persons acting as a group, to 9.8% of our outstanding shares. This provision assists us in protecting and preserving
our REIT status and protects the interests of shareholders in takeover transactions by preventing the acquisition of a substantial block
of outstanding shares.
Shares of beneficial interest owned by a person or group of persons in excess of these limits are subject to redemption by us. The
provision does not apply where a majority of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives such limit after determining that the
status of us as a REIT for federal income tax purposes will not be jeopardized or the disqualification of us as a REIT is advantageous
to our shareholders.
Distributions and Dividends
The following summarizes the taxability of our common share distributions and preferred share dividends (taxability for 2009 is
estimated):

In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, we are generally required to make common share distributions (other than
capital gain distributions) to our shareholders at least equal to (i) the sum of (a) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” computed without
regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and (b) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure
property, minus (ii) certain excess non-cash income. Our common share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash
flow to ensure we will meet the distribution requirements of the Code, while allowing us to maximize the cash retained to meet other
cash needs, such as capital improvements and other investment activities.
Common share distributions are characterized for federal income tax purposes as ordinary income, qualified dividend, capital gains,
non-taxable return of capital or a combination of the four. Common share distributions that exceed our current and accumulated
earnings and profits (calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a dividend and generally reduce the
shareholder’s basis in the common shares. To the extent that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits
and the shareholder’s basis in the common shares, it will generally be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of that shareholder’s
common shares. At the beginning of each year, we notify our shareholders of the taxability of the common share distributions paid
during the preceding year.
Our 2009 dividend was $0.25 for the first quarter and $0.15 for each of the second, third and fourth quarters. The payment of common
share distributions is dependent upon our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements and may be
adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year. A cash distribution of $0.15 per common share for the first quarter of 2010 was
declared on February 1, 2010. This distribution will be paid on February 26, 2010 to holders of common shares on February 12, 2010.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any distribution with respect to our 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.
Our tax return for the year ended December 31, 2009 has not been filed. The taxability information presented for our distributions and
dividends paid in 2009 is based upon management’s estimate. Our tax returns for previous tax years have not been examined by the
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) other than those discussed in Note 15. Consequently, the taxability of distributions and dividends is
subject to change.

12. Long-Term Compensation:
The 2006 long-term incentive plan together with our 1997 long-term incentive plan and outside trustees plan (the “Incentive Plan”)
have been approved by our shareholders and provides for grants of share options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), full value
awards and cash incentive awards to employees and other persons providing services to us and our subsidiaries, including outside
trustees. No more than 28,560,000 common shares in the aggregate may be awarded under the Incentive Plan. In any one calendar-
year period, no participant shall be granted: (i) more than 500,000 share options and SARs; (ii) more than 200,000 full value
performance based awards; or (iii) more than $10,000,000 in cash incentive awards. Common shares may be awarded under the
Incentive Plan until it is terminated by the Board. At December 31, 2009, 3.7 million common shares were available for future
issuance under the Incentive Plan.
Share Options
We have granted various share options to our employees and trustees, subject to certain conditions. Each share option is exercisable
into one common share. The holders of share options granted before 2001 earn dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) on
December 31st of each year until the earlier of the date the underlying share option is exercised or the expiration date of the
underlying share option. At December 31, 2009, there were 491,169 share options with a weighted average exercise price and
remaining life of $24.12 and 0.7 years, respectively, that will earn DEUs in the future. Share options granted to employees generally
have graded vesting over a four-year period and have an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant. Share options
granted to outside trustees generally vest immediately. There were no share options granted in 2009.
Share options outstanding at December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units (“RSUs”) are granted to certain employees at a rate of one common share per RSU. The RSUs are valued on the
grant date based upon the market price of a common share on that date. We recognize the value of the RSUs granted as compensation
expense over the applicable vesting period, which is generally four or five years. The RSUs do not carry voting rights during the
vesting period, but do generally earn DEUs that vest according to the underlying RSU. The weighted-average fair value of RSUs
granted during the years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $6.52, $10.51 and $63.25, respectively. In addition, annually we issue fully vested
deferred share units to our outside trustees, which are expensed at the time of grant and earn DEUs.
Contingent Performance Shares
Certain employees are granted contingent performance shares (“CPSs”). There were grants of CPSs each year beginning in 2005
through 2008. No CPSs were granted in 2009. The CPSs are earned based on our ranking in a defined subset of companies in the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT’s”) published index. These CPSs generally vest over a three-year
period. The amount of CPSs to be issued will be based on our ranking at the end of the three-year period, and may range from zero to
twice the targeted award, or a maximum of 394,000 shares at December 31, 2009. For purposes of calculating compensation expense,
we consider the CPSs to have a market condition and, therefore, we have estimated the grant date fair value of the CPSs using a
pricing valuation model. We recognize the value of the CPSs granted as compensation expense utilizing the grant date fair value and
the target shares over the vesting period. The amount of compensation expense is not adjusted based on the CPSs paid out at the end
of the vesting period, but is adjusted for forfeited awards. The CPSs issued in 2008 were all to our former Chief Executive Officer,
had different terms in connection with his employment agreement and were forfeited when he resigned in November 2008.
Performance Share Awards
Certain employees were granted Performance Share Awards (“PSAs”) that are earned based on individual and company performance
criteria. The PSAs are valued based upon the market price of a common share on grant date. We recognize the value of the PSAs
granted as compensation expense over the vesting period.
PSAs were granted through 2005 that had a two year vesting period. In 2009, we granted 829,571 PSAs to certain employees that vest
over three years. The ultimate number of shares to be issued varied from 50% — 150% of the original award based on the attainment
of certain individual and company goals for 2009. At the end of 2009, 190,313 shares were earned.
These awards carry no voting rights during the vesting period, but do earn DEUs that are vested at the end of the vesting period of the
underlying award. The weighted-average fair value of PSAs and CPSs granted during the years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $6.93,
$22.72, and $71.48, respectively.
95
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Dividend Equivalent Units
RSUs, CPSs, PSAs and certain share options granted through 2000 earn DEUs in the form of common shares at a rate of one common
share per DEU. Beginning in 2010, RSUs will earn quarterly cash dividends, rather than DEUs. We treat the DEUs as dividends,
which are charged to retained earnings and factored into the computation of the fair value of the underlying share award at grant date.

We use historical data to estimate dividend yield, share option exercises, expected term and employee departure behavior used in the
Black-Scholes pricing model. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected term of the share option is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. To calculate expected volatility, we use historical volatility of our common
stock and implied volatility of traded options on our common stock.
Other Plans
We have a 401(k) Savings Plan and Trust (“401(k) Plan”), that provides for matching employer contributions in common shares of 50
cents for every dollar contributed by an employee, up to 6% of the employee’s annual compensation (within the statutory
compensation limit). A total of 190,000 common shares have been authorized for issuance under the 401(k) Plan. The vesting of
contributed common shares is based on the employee’s years of service, with 20% vesting each year of service, over a five-year
period. Through December 31, 2009, no common shares have been issued under the 401(k) Plan. All of our matching contributions
have been made with common shares purchased by us in the open market.
We have a nonqualified savings plan to provide benefits for certain employees. The purpose of this plan is to allow highly
compensated employees the opportunity to defer the receipt and income taxation of a certain portion of their compensation in excess
of the amount permitted under the 401(k) Plan. We match the lesser of (a) 50% of the sum of deferrals under both the 401(k) Plan and
this plan, and (b) 3% of total compensation up to certain levels. The matching contributions vest in the same manner as the 401(k)
Plan. On a combined basis for both plans, our contributions under the matching provisions were $1.1 million, $1.4 million and
$1.1 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
13. Reduction in Workforce:
During the fourth quarter of 2008, in response to the difficult economic climate, we initiated General and Administrative expense
reductions with a near-term target of a 20% to 25% reduction in gross expense. These initiatives included a reduction in workforce
(“RIF”) plan that had a total cost of $11.7 million and $26.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
including $3.3 million for China that is presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The impairment charges related to real estate properties that we recognized during 2009 and 2008 were based primarily on valuations
of real estate, which had declined due to market conditions, that we no longer expected to hold for long term investment. Included in
the 2009 impairment charges is $9.2 million that should have been recorded in 2008. This amount, along with an additional
$3.0 million of deferred tax expense, was recorded in 2009 and relates to a revision of our estimated deferred income tax liabilities
associated with our international operations. In order to generate liquidity, we have contributed, or intend to contribute, certain
industrial properties to property funds (primarily in Europe) and sold or intend to sell certain land parcels or completed properties to
third parties. In 2007, the impairment charge related to a portfolio of buildings we had decided to sell.
These impairment charges represent the difference between the estimated proceeds from disposition and our cost basis at the time of
contribution/sale and were due to our intent to contribute or sell these properties at the time of the impairment charge. We estimated
97
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
the proceeds from contribution of these properties based on the future net rental income of the property and the expected market
capitalization rates or on third party appraisals. In the case of properties to be contributed to PEPF II, we further adjusted the
capitalization rates based on our contribution agreement with PEPF II.
The estimate of proceeds from disposition is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the
strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business and represents primarily Level 3 input, as discussed in our summary of
significant accounting policies. However, assumptions and estimates about future rental income, market capitalization rates and the
timing of the contribution/sale are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the ultimate investment
intent that may occur in the future could impact these assumptions and result in additional impairment charges of these or other real
estate properties.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized impairment charges related to goodwill, investments in and
advances to unconsolidated investees and other assets as outlined below (in thousands):
— $ 175,419

We performed our annual impairment review of the goodwill allocated to the direct owned segments in North America and Europe,
and the investment management segment in Europe during the fourth quarter of 2009 and no impairment was indicated.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we changed our business strategy in response to the deterioration in the global economy to no
longer focus on CDFS business activities. As a result, the investment and development activities previously included in the CDFS
business segment were transferred, along with the related assets, to the direct owned and investment management segments (Europe
reporting unit). The related goodwill was transferred to the respective segments based on the relative fair value of the assets
transferred. Due to the economic conditions, including the significant decrease in our common stock price and the decline in fair value
of certain of our real estate properties, specifically investments in land in the United Kingdom, we performed an additional review of
goodwill as of December 31, 2008. In connection with this review, we recognized an impairment charge of $175.4 million relating to
the goodwill allocated to the direct owned segment in the Europe reporting unit. This goodwill related to an acquisition made in 2007.
In 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment charges on certain of our investments in and advances to unconsolidated investees, notes
receivable and other assets as we did not believe these amounts to be recoverable based on the prevent value of the estimated future
cash flows associated with these assets. See Note 6 for discussion relating to the impairment of our investment in and advances to two
property funds and an entity that develops retail and mixed use properties in Europe.

Current Income Taxes
Current income tax expense is generally a function of the level of income recognized by our TRSs, state income taxes, taxes incurred
in foreign jurisdictions and interest and penalties associated with our income tax liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we
recognized a $3.7 million benefit due to the release of accruals for interest and penalties associated with our uncertain tax positions.
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized expenses of $37.7 million and $22.0 million related to interest and
penalties on our uncertain tax positions. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, cash paid for income taxes was
$234.6 million, $67.3 million and $35.9 million, respectively.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income tax expense is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences, the utilization of tax net operating losses
generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities related to
indemnification agreements for contributions to certain property funds.
For federal income tax purposes, certain acquisitions have been treated as tax-free transactions resulting in a carry-over basis for tax
purposes. For financial reporting purposes and in accordance with purchase accounting, we record all of the acquired assets and
liabilities at the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. For our taxable subsidiaries, we recognize the deferred income tax
liabilities that represent the tax effect of the difference between the tax basis carried over and the fair value of the tangible assets at the
date of acquisition. If taxable income is generated in these subsidiaries, we recognize a deferred income tax benefit in earnings as a
result of the reversal of the deferred income tax liability previously recorded at the acquisition date and we record current income tax
expense representing the entire current income tax liability. Any increases or decreases to the deferred income tax liability recorded in
connection with these acquisitions, related to tax uncertainties acquired, was reflected as an adjustment to goodwill through
December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we decreased deferred tax liabilities and goodwill by $8.8 million.
Due to the issuance of a new accounting standard, beginning in 2009, any increases or decreases related to tax uncertainties will be
reflected in earnings.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, were as follows (in thousands):

Liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits
For 2009, 2008 and 2007, we believe we and our consolidated REIT subsidiary have complied with the REIT requirements of the
Code. The statute of limitations for our tax returns is generally three years, with our major tax jurisdictions being the United States,
Japan, Mexico, Poland, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. As such, our tax returns that remain subject to examination would be
primarily from 2006 and thereafter, except for Catellus, a subsidiary we acquired in 2005.
Certain 1999 through 2005 federal and state income tax returns of Catellus have been under audit by the IRS and various state taxing
authorities. In November 2008, we agreed to enter into a closing agreement with the IRS for the settlement of the 1999 through 2002
audits. As a result, in 2008, we increased our unrecognized tax liability by $85.4 million, including interest and penalties. As this
liability was an income tax uncertainty related to an acquired company, we increased goodwill by $66.6 million related to the liability
that existed at the acquisition date. The remaining amount was included in current income tax expense in 2008. We made cash
payments of $226.6 million in 2009 in connection with this closing agreement and settlement of certain state tax audits. Certain
federal income tax returns for Catellus for 2003 through 2005 are still under audit by the IRS.
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits principally consists of estimated federal and state income tax liabilities associated with
acquired companies and includes accrued interest and penalties of $34.4 million and $114.4 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. A reconciliation of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Indemnification Agreements
We have indemnification agreements related to most property funds operating outside of the United States for the contribution of
certain properties. We enter into agreements whereby we indemnify the funds, or our fund partners, for taxes that may be assessed
with respect to certain properties we contribute to these funds. Our contributions to these funds are generally structured as
contributions of shares of companies that own the real estate assets. Accordingly, the capital gains associated with the step up in the
value of the underlying real estate assets, for tax purposes, are deferred and transferred to the funds at contribution. We have generally
indemnified these funds to the extent that the funds: (i) incur capital gains or withholding 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) are required to grant a discount to the buyer of shares under a share transfer transaction as a result of the funds transferring the
embedded capital gain tax liability to the buyer of the shares in the transaction. The agreements generally limit the amount that is
subject to our indemnification with respect to each property to 100% of the actual tax liabilities related to the capital gains that are
deferred and transferred by us to the funds at the time of the initial contribution less any deferred tax assets transferred with the
property.
In 2007, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $6.3 million for the reversal of the obligation related to ProLogis North American
Properties Fund V.
The ultimate outcome under these agreements is uncertain as it is dependent on the method and timing of dissolution of the related
property fund or disposition of any properties by the property fund. Two of our previous agreements were terminated without any
amounts being due or payable by us. We consider the probability, timing and amounts in estimating our potential liability under the
agreements, which we have estimated as $37.9 million and $38.4 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We continue
to monitor these agreements and the likelihood of the sale of assets that would result in recognition and will adjust the potential
liability in the future as facts and circumstances dictate.
16. Earnings Per Common Share:
We determine basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We
compute diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with the
incremental weighted average effect from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.
The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

17. Related Party Transactions:
In September 2009, Irving F. Lyons, III, trustee and former Chief Investment Officer and Trustee converted limited partnership units,
in the limited partnerships in which we own a majority interest and consolidate, into 410,000 of our common shares. As of
December 31, 2009, Mr. Lyons owns 226,613 of the outstanding partnership units. On June 8, 2007, Jeffrey H. Schwartz, our former
Chief Executive Officer, also converted similar limited partnership units into 128,000 of our common shares. See Note 10 for more
information regarding these limited partnerships in North America.
Also see Note 6 for a discussion of transactions between us and the property funds.
18. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements:
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, we may enter into various derivatives contracts. Foreign currency contracts,
including forwards and options, may be used to manage foreign currency exposure. We may use interest rate swaps to manage the
effect of interest rate fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The majority of our derivative
financial instruments are customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. Management reviews our hedging program,
derivative positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis. We only enter into transactions that we believe will be
highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk.
Our use of derivatives does generate the risk that counterparties may default on a derivative contract. We establish exposure limits for
each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with
counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of single-A or better. We enter into master agreements with counterparties that
generally allow for netting of certain exposures; therefore, the actual loss we would recognize if all counterparties failed to perform as
contracted would be significantly lower. To mitigate pre-settlement risk, minimum credit standards become more stringent as the
duration of the derivative financial instrument increases. To minimize the concentration of credit risk, we enter into derivative
transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these factors, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be
minimal.
All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within the line items Other Assets or Accounts Payable
and Accrued Expenses, as applicable. We do not net our derivative position by counterparty for purposes of balance sheet presentation
and disclosure. The accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair values of derivative instruments depends on
whether the derivatives are designated as and qualify as hedging instruments. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash
flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. We do not typically designate derivatives as fair value hedges or
hedges of net investments.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss). We reclassify changes in the fair value of derivatives into the applicable line item in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period that the underlying hedged items affect earnings.
Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the underlying exposures hedged, fluctuations in the
value of the derivative instruments will generally be offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures
being hedged. The changes in fair values of derivatives that were not designated and/or did not qualify as hedging instruments are
immediately recognized into earnings.
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments in accordance with the accounting standards, we formally designate
and document, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and
the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, we formally assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter,
whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the
related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a derivative financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately
102
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
recognized into earnings. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.
Our interest rate risk management strategy is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve
this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate basis for longer-term debt issuances. The maximum length of time that we hedge
our exposure to future cash flows is typically less than 10 years. We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of
assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in interest rates. We typically designate our interest rate swap
agreements as cash flow hedges as these derivative instruments may be used to manage the interest rate risk on potential future debt
issuances or to fix the interest rate on a variable rate debt issuance. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is
reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reclassified
into the line item, Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the corresponding period of the hedged item.
Losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in Interest Expense at the time the ineffectiveness occurred.
There was no ineffectiveness recorded during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The amount reclassified to interest
expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is not considered material.
We generally do not designate the following derivative contracts as hedges:
•
•
Foreign currency forwards — we may use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign currency fluctuations of
intercompany loans not deemed to be a long-term investment and certain transactions denominated in a currency other than the
entity’s functional currency. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings, as they are not designated as hedges. The
gains or losses resulting from these derivative instruments are included in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net in
our Consolidated Statements of Operations. For contracts associated with intercompany loans, the impact on earnings is
generally offset by the remeasurement gains and losses recognized on the related intercompany loans. We had no outstanding
foreign currency forwards at December 31, 2009.
Foreign currency put options — we may use foreign currency put option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate
risk associated with the projected net operating income of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees.
These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net, as they do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We had no outstanding foreign currency put options at December 31, 2009.
The following table summarizes the activity in our derivative contracts for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (in

of $5.7 million, $3.1 million and $95.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to
these contracts.
During 2009, we entered into and settled forward contracts to buy yen to manage the foreign currency fluctuations related to the
sale of our investments in the Japan property funds and recognized losses of $5.7 million in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains
(Losses), Net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the second quarter of 2007, we purchased several foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign currency
fluctuations of the purchase price of MPR (see Note 6). These contracts allowed us to buy Australian dollars at a fixed exchange
rate to the U.S. dollar. Derivative instruments used to manage the foreign currency fluctuations of an anticipated business
combination do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are included in earnings. The contracts settled in July 2007 in
connection with the completed acquisition and resulted in the recognition of a net gain of $26.6 million in Foreign Currency
Exchange Gains (Losses), Net for the year ended December 31, 2007.
(3) During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we entered into several contracts with total notional amounts of $157.7 million, $250.0 million, and
$959.2 million, respectively, associated with anticipated debt issuances.

In 2009, we entered into two interest rate swap contracts to fix the interest rate on our variable rate TMK bonds
(¥4.3 billion and ¥10.0 billion, respectively) that mature in June 2012 and December 2012, respectively. We designated
the contracts as cash flow hedges and they qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We have recorded a liability of
$0.9 million in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2009.
During 2008, in connection with the issuance of senior notes and convertible senior notes, we entered into contracts that
qualified as cash flow hedges and recognized a decrease in value of $3.3 million, associated with the unwinding of these
contracts, in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and began amortizing as an increase to interest expense
as interest payments are made on the related notes.
In 2007, we entered into contracts with notional amounts of $188.0 million and $271.2 million and which represented
our share of future debt issuances by ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III, ProLogis North American Industrial
Fund II respectively. These contracts were transferred into the funds at formation, at which time the contracts qualified
for hedge accounting treatment by the funds. We also entered into contracts with an aggregate notional amount of
$500.0 million associated with a future debt issuance. All of these contracts qualified for hedge accounting treatment
and allowed us to fix a portion of the interest rate associated with the anticipated issuance of senior notes. In connection
with the issuance of the convertible notes, we unwound these contracts, recognized a decrease in value of $1.4 million
in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and began amortizing as an increase to interest expense as interest
payments are made on the senior notes.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements consist of real estate
assets and investments in and advances to unconsolidated investees that were subject to impairment charges to write them down to
their estimated fair values during 2009 due to changes in market conditions and/or our intent with regard to these assets. See Notes 6
and 14 for additional information related to inputs and valuation techniques used to measure these impairments. The table below
aggregates the fair values of these assets at December 31, 2009 by the levels in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-
term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we estimated the fair value of our senior and other notes and convertible notes, based upon quoted
market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available. We estimated the fair
value of our credit facilities by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads currently available to us (Level 3).
We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds that does not have current quoted market prices
available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3).
The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing
spreads that were available to us at December 31, 2009 and 2008, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or
acquired. In addition, based on debt market conditions as of December 31, 2008, many of our public debt issuances were trading at a
significant discount to par value. The senior notes and many of the issues of secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or
yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at the lower rates exceed the benefit that would be
derived from doing so.

19. Commitments and Contingencies:
Environmental Matters
A majority of the properties we acquire, including land, are subjected to environmental reviews either by us or the previous owners. In
addition, we may incur environmental remediation costs associated with certain land parcels we acquire in connection with the
development of the land. We have acquired certain properties in urban and industrial areas that may have been leased to or previously
owned by commercial and industrial companies that discharged hazardous materials. We establish a liability at the time of acquisition
to cover such costs. We adjust the liabilities as appropriate when additional information becomes available. We purchase various
environmental insurance policies to mitigate our exposure to environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liability
that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities
We have issued performance and surety bonds and standby letters of credit in connection with certain development projects, to
guarantee certain tax obligations and the construction of certain real property improvements and infrastructure, such as grading,
sewers and streets. Performance and surety bonds are commonly required by public agencies from real estate developers. Performance
105
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
and surety bonds are renewable and expire upon the payment of the taxes due or the completion of the improvements and
infrastructure. As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $71.6 million outstanding under such arrangements.
At December 31, 2009, we had made debt guarantees to certain of our unconsolidated investees that, based on the investee’s
outstanding balance, totaled $1.3 million. None of these guarantees were provided to the unconsolidated property funds. See Note 6
for further discussion related to the property funds.
We may be required to make additional capital contributions to certain of our unconsolidated investees, representing our proportionate
ownership interest, should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund development or acquisition costs, repayment of debt or
operation shortfalls. See Note 6.
From time to time we enter into Special Limited Contribution Agreements (“SLCA”) in connection with certain contributions of
properties to certain of our property funds. Under the SLCAs, we are obligated to make an additional capital contribution to the
respective property fund under certain circumstances, the occurrence of which we believe to be remote. Specifically, we would be
required to make an additional capital contribution to the property fund if the property fund is in default on third-party debt, the
default remains uncured, and the third-party lender does not receive a specified minimum level of repayment after pursuing all
contractual and legal remedies against the property fund. To the extent that a third-party lender receives repayment of principal and to
the extent that the property fund liquidates its assets to satisfy any remaining repayment deficit, our obligations under the SLCA are
reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Our potential obligations under the respective SLCAs, as a percentage of the fair value of the real
estate assets in the property funds, range from 5% to 37%. Given the respective year-end capital structures of the various funds
impacted by SLCAs and structural provisions within the SLCAs, we estimate that the minimum level of fund devaluation required to
trigger an SLCA liability ranges between 79% and 27% of fund value. We believe 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 generally remote,
especially in light of the geographically diversified portfolios of properties owned by the property funds. The potential obligations
under the SLCAs aggregated $348.9 million and $352.6 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The
combined value of the assets in the property funds that are subject to the provisions of the SLCAs was approximately $4.0 billion at
December 31, 2009. Based on our assessment of the probability and range of loss, we have estimated the fair value and recognized a
liability of $1.3 million related to our potential obligations at December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, $9.1 million of Community Facility District bonds were outstanding that were originally issued to finance
public infrastructure improvements at one of our development projects. We are required to satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service
obligation for these bonds if tax revenues generated by the project are insufficient. As of December 31, 2009, we have not been
required to, nor do we expect to be required to, satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligation for these bonds other than
through our payment of normal project and special district taxes.
Settlement Costs
Included within Other Income (Expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 are
settlement costs of $13.0 million related to an obligation we assumed in the 2005 acquisition of Catellus.
20. Business Segments:
As discussed in Note 1, we modified our business strategy during the fourth quarter of 2008 to no longer focus on the CDFS business
segment. We made contributions and dispositions of CDFS properties through December 2008 and have reported the results of
operations of this activity within this business segment. As of December 31, 2008, we transferred all of the assets from the CDFS
business segment into our two remaining segments. We now intend to principally hold the properties we had previously planned to
contribute, and, therefore, we have transferred these assets to our direct owned segment. The investments we have in joint ventures
have been transferred to our investment management segment. Our current segments are as follows:
•
Direct Owned — representing the direct long-term ownership of industrial distribution and retail properties. Each
operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are
combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. We own real estate in North America
(Canada, Mexico and the United States), Europe (Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary,
Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and Asia (Japan and South
106
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Korea). Also included in this segment is the development of properties for continued direct ownership, including land
held for development and properties currently under development. Beginning in 2009, we also include the land we own
and lease to customers under ground leases that was previously included in our other operating segments. Therefore, we
have reclassified 2008 amounts to conform to the 2009 presentation.
•
Investment Management — representing the long-term investment management of property funds and industrial and
retail joint ventures and the properties they own. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or losses from
our investments in unconsolidated property funds and joint ventures operating in North America, Europe and Asia.
Along with the income recognized under the equity method, we include fees and incentives earned for services
performed on behalf of the unconsolidated investees and interest income earned on advances to unconsolidated
investees, if any. We utilize our leasing and property management expertise to efficiently manage the properties and our
unconsolidated investees, and we allocate the costs as Investment Management Expenses in this segment. Each
investment in a property fund or joint venture is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar
economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. Our
operations in the investment management segment are in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States),
Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain,
Sweden, and the United Kingdom), and Asia (Japan, through July 2009, and South Korea).
In addition, throughout 2008, we operated a third segment. As discussed above, due to changes in our business strategy, we no longer
have a CDFS business segment in 2009, other than as discussed below for the sale of our investments in Japan.
•
CDFS business — primarily encompassed our development of real estate properties that were subsequently contributed
to a property fund in which we had an ownership interest and acted as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, we
acquired properties with the intent to rehabilitate and/or reposition the property prior to contributing to a property fund.
The proceeds and related costs of these dispositions are presented as Developed and Repositioned Properties in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we occasionally acquired a portfolio of properties with the intent of
contributing the portfolio to an existing or future property fund. The proceeds and related costs of these dispositions are
presented as Acquired Property Portfolios in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the period between the
completion of development or acquisition 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 were included in the direct owned
segment because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon contribution or
sale, the resulting gain or loss was included in the income of the CDFS business segment. The separate activities in this
segment were considered to be individual operating segments having similar economic characteristics that are combined
within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. When a property that we originally contributed to a
property fund was sold to a third party, we recognized any gain that was deferred due to our ownership interest in the
property fund at the time of contribution as CDFS proceeds. In 2009, the only activity being reported in the CDFS
segment is the gain on sale of our investments in the Japan property funds as it is essentially the recognition of gains
from this segment that were deferred due to our ownership interests at the time of the original contributions.
During 2009, we contributed some completed industrial properties to PEPF II and sold some land and properties to third parties. We
now present the results as Net Gains on Dispositions, either in continuing operations (in the case of contributions to a property fund or
sales of land) or discontinued operations. We present the operations and net gains associated with properties sold to third parties,
including land subject to ground leases, or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations, which results in the restatement of
prior years operating results to exclude the items presented as discontinued operations.
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segment’s revenue from external customers to our total revenues;
(ii) each reportable business segment’s net operating income from external customers to our earnings before income taxes; and
(iii) each reportable business segment’s assets to our total assets. Our 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 our revenues, earnings (loss) before income taxes and total assets are allocated to each reportable business segment’s
revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate income and
expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

related to asset dispositions, offset partially by land holding costs and the write-off of previously capitalized pursuit costs
associated with potential CDFS business assets when it became likely the assets would not be acquired.
(9) During 2009, we recognized impairment charges related to our real estate properties in our Direct Owned segment
($157.9 million in North America and $173.7 million in Europe). During 2008, we recognized impairment charges related to our
real estate properties in our Direct Owned segment ($21.0 million in North America and $253.7 million in Europe). See Note 14
for more discussion of these charges.
(10) During 2009, we recognized impairment charges of $28.5 million to write-off our investments in ProLogis North American
Properties Fund IX and X. During 2009 and 2008 we recognized impairment charges of $115.1 million and $113.7 million,
respectively, related to our investment in and advances to an unconsolidated investee in Europe. These impairments related to our
Investment Management segment and are discussed further in Note 6.
During 2008, in connection with changes made to our business strategy, we transferred the investment and development activities
previously included in the CDFS business segment, along with the related assets, to the direct owned and investment
management segments (Europe reporting unit). The related goodwill was transferred to the respective segments based on the
relative fair value of the assets transferred. In connection with our review of goodwill for recoverability in the fourth quarter of
2008, we recognized an impairment charge of $175.4 million related to goodwill in the direct owned segment in Europe. See
Note 14 for additional information. The goodwill allocated to a segment, subsequent to impairment and reallocation, was as
follows at December 31 (in thousands).

(11) Includes long-lived assets attributable to the United States as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $9.7 billion and $10.3 billion,
respectively.
(12) Represents our investments in and advances to the property funds and certain investments in industrial and retail joint ventures.
21. Supplemental Cash Flow Information:
Non-cash investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
•
•
•
We received $30.3 million, $455.0 million and $351.3 million of ownership interests in certain unconsolidated investees as a
portion of our proceeds from the contribution of properties to these property funds during 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
In 2007, in connection with these contributions, we recorded $51.6 million in potential liabilities for future obligations we may
have associated with these transactions, which have subsequently been settled or adjusted.
We capitalized portions of the total cost of our share-based compensation awards of $5.8 million, $12.1 million and
$10.8 million to the investment basis of our real estate and other assets during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and
2007, respectively.
We settled $1.6 million, $21.3 million and $4.4 million of noncontrolling interest liabilities with the conversion of limited
partnership units into 413,500 common shares, 3.9 million common shares and 128,000 common shares in 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively.

PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
•
•
•
•
•
•
We recorded $6.7 million and $27.8 million of noncontrolling interest liabilities associated with investments made in entities
that we consolidate and own less that 100% in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We assumed $6.6 million and $27.3 million of debt and other liabilities in 2008 and 2007, respectively, in connection with the
acquisition of properties.
As partial consideration for property contributions in 2008, the China property fund assumed $47.9 million in construction
liabilities.
We recognized a $9.3 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to
the January 1, 2007 balance of distributions in excess of earnings in connection with the adoption of the provisions of a new
accounting standard.
In connection with the acquisition of all of the units in MPR in July 2007 (see Note 6), we assumed $828.3 million of debt and
reallocated our equity investment of $47.7 million to assets acquired.
As a result of the conversion by Citigroup of its convertible loan into equity of ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II in
August 2007, we began accounting for our investment in this property fund under the equity method of accounting. This
transaction resulted in a disposition of $2.0 billion of real estate assets and $1.9 billion of associated debt in exchange for an
equity investment of $219.1 million and the recognition of a gain.
See also the discussion of non-cash items related to the Parkridge acquisition in 2007 in Note 5 and the discussion of uncertain tax
positions and other income tax matters in Note 15.
22. Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited):
Selected quarterly 2009 and 2008 data has been adjusted from previously disclosed amounts due to the disposal of properties in 2009

____________
(1) Quarterly earnings per common share amounts may not total to the annual amounts due to rounding and the changes in the
number of weighted common shares outstanding and included in the calculation of diluted shares.
(2) In periods with a net loss, the inclusion of any incremental shares is anti-dilutive, and therefore, both basic and diluted loss per
share is the same.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
Under date of February 26, 2010, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated
financial statements, we also audited the related financial statement schedule, Schedule III — Real Estate and Accumulated
Depreciation (Schedule III). Schedule III is the responsibility of ProLogis’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
Schedule III based on our audits.
In our opinion, Schedule III — Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible
Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), included in ASC subtopic 470-
20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, as of January 1, 2009.
