                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      (UNAUDITED, DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND UNIT AMOUNTS)
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION
 
     AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), commenced
operations as a fully integrated real estate company effective with the
completion of its initial public offering (the "IPO") on November 26, 1997. The
Company expects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as
amended. The Company, through its controlling interest in its subsidiary AMB
Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), is
engaged in the acquisition, ownership, operation, management, renovation,
expansion and development of industrial buildings and community shopping centers
in target markets nationwide. Unless the context otherwise requires, the
"Company" means AMB Property Corporation, the Operating Partnership and its
other controlled subsidiaries.
 
     The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed shortly before
consummation of the IPO. AMB Institutional Realty Advisors, Inc., a California
corporation and registered investment advisor (the "Predecessor") formed AMB
Property Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary, and merged with and into the
Company (the "Merger") in exchange for 4,746,616 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. In addition, the Company and the Operating Partnership acquired, through
a series of mergers and other transactions, 31.8 million rentable square feet of
industrial property and 6.3 million rentable square feet of retail property in
exchange for 65,022,185 shares of the Company's Common Stock, 2,542,163 limited
partner interests ("LP Units") in the Operating Partnership, the assumption of
debt and, to a limited extent, cash. The net assets of the Predecessor and the
properties acquired with Common Stock were contributed to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for 69,768,801 units. The purchase method of accounting
was applied to the acquisition of the properties. Collectively, the Merger and
the other formation transactions described above are referred to as the
"Formation Transactions."
 
     On November 26, 1997, the Company completed its IPO of 16,100,000 shares of
Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") for $21.00 per
share, resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $338,100. Net of
underwriters' commission and offering costs aggregating $38,068, the Company
received approximately $300,032 in proceeds from the IPO. The net proceeds of
the IPO were used to repay indebtedness, to purchase interests from certain
investors who elected not to receive shares or units in connection with the
Formation Transactions, to fund property acquisitions, and for general corporate
working capital requirements.
 
     As of June 30, 1998, the Company owned an approximate 95.8% general partner
interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 4.2% limited partner
interest is owned by nonaffiliated investors. For local law purposes, properties
in certain states are owned through limited partnerships and limited liability
companies owned 99% by the Operating Partnership and 1% by a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The ownership of such properties through such
entities does not materially affect the Company's overall ownership of the
interests in the properties. As the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership, the Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility and
discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating
Partnership.
 
     In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership
formed AMB Investment Management, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("AMB Investment
Management"). The Operating Partnership purchased 100% of AMB Investment
Management's non-voting preferred stock (representing a 95% economic interest
therein). Certain executive officers of the Company collectively purchased 100%
of the Investment Management Subsidiary's voting common stock (representing a 5%
economic interest therein). The Operating Partnership accounts for its
investment in AMB Investment Management using the equity method of accounting.
AMB Investment Management was formed to succeed to the Predecessor's investment
management business of providing real estate investment management services on a
fee basis to clients.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
      (UNAUDITED, DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND UNIT AMOUNTS)
 
     As of June 30, 1998, the Company owned 500 industrial buildings and retail
centers, consisting of 463 industrial buildings (the "Industrial Properties")
and 37 retail centers (the "Retail Properties") located in 28 markets throughout
the United States. The Industrial Properties, principally warehouse distribution
buildings, encompass approximately 47.7 million rentable square feet and, as of
June 30, 1998, were 95.1% leased to over 1,200 tenants. The Retail Properties,
principally grocer-anchored community shopping centers, encompass approximately
6.8 million rentable square feet and, as of the same date, were 95.0% leased to
over 900 tenants. The Industrial Properties and the Retail Properties
collectively are referred to as the "Properties."
 
2. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial
statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current
classifications with no effect on results of operations. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation
of the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for
the interim periods.
 
     The interim financial information for the six months and for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, represents the results of the Predecessor, an
investment manager. The Predecessor's revenues consisted primarily of fees
earned in connection with real estate investment management services. As such,
information presented for the six months and for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1998 is not comparable given the differences in lines of business
between the Company and the Predecessor.
 
     The interim results of the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. DEBT
 
     In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Company assumed certain
secured debt with an aggregate principal value of $517,031 and a fair value of
$535,613. The difference between the principal value and the fair value was
recorded as a debt premium. The debt premium is being amortized into interest
expense over the term of the related debt instruments using the effective
interest method. As of June 30, 1998, the unamortized debt premium was $16,799.
As of June 30, 1998, debt, excluding unamortized debt premiums, consists of the
following:
 

                                                           
Unsecured credit facilities, variable interest at LIBOR plus
  90 basis points (6.59% at June 30, 1998), $50,000 due July
  1998, remainder due November 2000.........................  $  137,000
Senior debt securities, weighted average interest rate of
  7.18%, due June 2008, June 2015 and June 2018.............     400,000
Secured debt, varying interest rates from 4.00% to 10.38%
  due November 1998 to January 2014.........................     575,631
                                                              ----------
          Total Debt........................................  $1,112,631
                                                              ==========

 
     Secured debt generally requires monthly principal and interest payments.
The secured debt is secured by deeds of trust on certain Properties. All of the
secured debt bears interest at fixed rates, except for two loans totaling $9,173
which bear interest at variable rates. The secured debt has various financial
and non-financial covenants. Additionally, certain of the secured debt is
cross-collateralized. The weighted-average fixed interest rate on secured debt
at June 30, 1998, was 7.91%.
 
     The Company has a $500,000 unsecured revolving credit agreement (the
"Credit Facility") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as agent, and
a syndicate of twelve other banks. The Credit Facility has a term of three
years, and is subject to a fee that accrues on the daily average undrawn funds,
which varies between 15 and 25 basis points of the undrawn funds based on the
Company's credit rating (15 basis points at June 30, 1998). The Credit Facility
has various financial and non-financial covenants. In addition, in April 1998,
the Company obtained a $50,000 unsecured acquisition facility from NationsBank,
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points (6.59% at June 30, 1998). The
$50,000 unsecured acquisition facility was repaid in July 1998.
 
     Capitalized interest related to construction projects for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1998, was $3,098 and $1,845, respectively. There was no
capitalized interest for periods prior to the Formation Transactions.
 
     The scheduled maturities of the secured debt as of June 30, 1998 are as
follows:

     In June 1998, the Company issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of
unsecured notes ("Senior Debt Securities") in an underwritten public offering,
the net proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the
unsecured credit facilities. As of June 30, 1998, the Senior Debt Securities
consisted of the following:
 


                                                  PRINCIPAL   INTEREST
                                                   AMOUNT       RATE     MATURITY

     Interest on the Senior Debt Securities is payable semiannually in each June
and December commencing December 1998. The 2015 notes are putable and callable
in June 2005.
 
4. MINORITY INTERESTS
 
     Minority interests in the Company represent the limited partnership
interests in the Operating Partnership and interests held by certain third
parties (some of which are Institutional Alliance Partners(TM)) in 14 real
estate joint ventures that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.
Such investments are consolidated because (i) the Company owns a majority
interest, or (ii) the Company holds significant control over the entity through
a 50% or greater ownership interest combined with the ability to control major
operating decisions such as approval of budgets, selection of property managers
and changes in financing.
 
     The following table sets forth the minority interest ownership held by
certain joint ventures, Institutional Alliance Partners(TM) and the limited
partners' interests in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 1998.

5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

quarterly cash distribution of $0.3425 per share of common stock and operating
partnership unit, payable on July 9, 1998, to stockholders and unitholders of
record as of June 30, 1998.
 
6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
     The Company's only dilutive securities outstanding for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1998 were stock options issued under its stock incentive
plan. The effect of the stock options was to increase weighted average shares
outstanding by 347,662 and 378,943 shares for the six and three months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively. Such dilution was computed using the treasury stock
method. The Predecessor had no dilutive securities outstanding during the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements. Statements contained herein which are not
historical facts may be forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends,"
"plans," "pro forma," "estimates," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks
and uncertainties and should not be relied upon as predictions of future events,
and there can be no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in such
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. The following factors,
among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially
from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: defaults
or non-renewal of leases, increased interest rates and operating costs, failure
to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to
acquire and in effecting acquisitions, failure to successfully integrate
acquired properties and operations, risks and uncertainties affecting property
development and construction (including, without limitation, construction
delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public
opposition to such activities), the Company's failure to qualify and maintain
its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural
disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws
and increases in real property tax rates. The success of the Company also
depends upon economic trends generally, including interest rates, income tax
laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk
factors discussed in the section entitled "Business -- Business Risks" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which reflect management's analysis only and speak only as of the date hereof.

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
 
     During the second quarter, the Company invested $180.4 million in operating
properties, consisting of 48 industrial buildings aggregating 3.7 million square
feet, including $29.7 million for the Company's share of co-investments with its
Institutional Alliance Partners(TM) and $62.0 million of properties purchased
from its Institutional Alliance Partners(TM).
 
     The Company initiated five new development projects during the quarter,
with a total estimated cost of $81.4 million upon completion in projects
aggregating 1.6 million square feet. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had 13
industrial projects under development with a total estimated investment of
$227.1 million upon completion in 5.2 million square feet, and three retail
projects under development representing an estimated investment of $81.5 million
upon completion in 654,400 square feet.
 
                                       10
   13
 
     At June 30, 1998, the Company owned and operated a total of 500 industrial
buildings and retail centers totaling 54.5 million square feet in 28 markets
nationwide. In addition, the Company operated 4.6 million square feet of
property on behalf of investment management clients.
 
INCREASED PRESENCE IN KEY MARKETS
 
     The Company continued to execute its research-based target market strategy
by selectively expanding its presence in key markets nationwide.
 
     DALLAS: The Company increased its presence in this major distribution
     market by 27% to 4.8 million square feet with the addition of 1.0 million
     square feet of existing industrial space. In addition, the Company
     currently has three development projects underway in the Dallas/Fort Worth
     market, including two initiated in the second quarter and the 205,000
     square foot air cargo facility on the tarmac of the Dallas/Forth Worth
     Airport which was initiated in the first quarter of 1998 and is 100%
     pre-leased.
 
     NORTHERN NEW JERSEY: The Company increased its portfolio in this active
     distribution market by 35% with the addition of 626,500 square feet in a
     new industrial development project with Development Alliance Partner(TM)
     Trammell Crow.
 
     BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Company doubled its presence in this key
     distribution market with the addition of 963,100 square feet in seven
     industrial buildings. The Company now owns 1.9 million square feet in this
     market.
 
     Further investments in existing properties in excess of 400,000 square feet
     were made in existing Company markets, including Minneapolis (516,000
     square feet), Atlanta (469,100 square feet), and Houston (418,700 square
     feet).
 
STRATEGIC ALLIANCE PROGRAMS(TM)
 
     The Company has been a leader in systematically forming alliances with
local and regional real estate experts through its Stategic Alliance
Programs(TM).
 
     DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE PROGRAM(TM): The Company's strategy for its
     Development Alliance Program(TM) is to enhance its development capability
     by forming alliances with development firms with a strong local presence
     and expertise.
 
     During the second quarter, the Company initiated two development projects
     with Development Alliance Partner(TM) Trammell Crow: a $29.0 million
     investment in a 626,500 square foot project adjacent to the New Jersey
     Turnpike and a $17.3 million investment in a 443,200 square foot project in
     Orlando Central Park (the dominant industrial park in Orlando). The Company
     added two new Development Alliance Partners(TM) during the quarter: Gale &
     Wentworth, one of New Jersey's most prominent real estate organizations,
     who will source, develop, and manage industrial projects in New Jersey; and
     National Development of New England, one of the premier commercial
     developers in New England, with whom the Company initiated a 415,000 square
     foot industrial project during the quarter.
 
     UPREIT ALLIANCE PROGRAM(TM): Through its UPREIT Alliance Program(TM), the
     Company issues operating partnership units in exchange for properties, thus
     providing additional growth for the portfolio. The Company expanded its
     UPREIT Alliance Program(TM) in the second quarter through the acquisition
     of a 153,600 square foot industrial property in Alsip, Illinois (a
     submarket of Chicago) and a 269,800 square foot property in Atlanta. The
     Company believes that UPREIT Alliance Partners(TM), who can benefit from a
     tax advantaged transaction structure, have been, and will continue to be,
     an attractive source of new acquisitions.
 
     INSTITUTIONAL ALLIANCE PROGRAM(TM): The Company's strategy for its
     Institutional Alliance Program(TM) is to form institutional alliances
     through the co-investment program of AMB Investment Management to provide
     access to private capital, including during those times when the public
     markets are less attractive. Two acquisitions were made through this
     program during the second quarter, with a total acquisition cost of $59.4
     million, of which $29.7 million was co-invested by the Company: a 1,019,200
     square foot
                                       11
   14
 
     industrial warehouse portfolio in Dallas/Fort Worth and a 516,000 square
     foot portfolio in Minneapolis. The Company's long-standing relationships
     with institutional investors is also a source of new acquisitions. During
     the quarter, the Company invested $62.0 million in industrial properties
     totaling 1.6 million square feet through such relationships.
 
     During the quarter, the Company initiated a comprehensive branding program
intended to support the expansion of the Strategic Alliance Programs(TM) and to
establish consistency for all customers and users of AMB services. The Company
intends to continue its program of managing its relationships with local vendors
to take advantage of the economies of scale of a nationwide portfolio.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     Because of the significant impact of the Formation Transactions and the IPO
on the Company's results of operations, the discussion below is presented as
follows: (i) results of the Company and its Predecessor for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and (ii) results of the Properties for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Because the Company commenced
its operations as a REIT in connection with the IPO in November 1997, a separate
discussion of the historical operations of the Properties for the comparative
periods prior to the IPO is presented below.
 
COMPANY AND PREDECESSOR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Company and Predecessor -- Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
 
     Rental revenues. Rental revenues, including straight-line rents, tenant
reimbursements and other property related income, totaled $160.8 and $85.0
million for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998. The Predecessor's
revenues consisted primarily of fees earned in connection with real estate
management services. As such, no such rental revenues existed for the
Predecessor for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997.
 
     Property operating expenses and real estate taxes. Property operating
expenses, including asset management costs and real estate taxes, totaled $42.5
and $22.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998. The
Predecessor's expenses consisted primarily of salaries and other general and
administrative costs. As such, no such property operating expenses existed
during the six and three months ended June 30, 1997.
 
     General and administrative expenses. The Company's general and
administrative expenses were $5.9 and $3.1 million for the six and three months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the Predecessor's investment management
expenses of $8.3 and $4.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30,
1997. Investment management expenses of the Predecessor consisted primarily of
salaries and other general and administrative expenses. The $2.4 million, or
29%, and $1.3 million, or 30%, decreases, respectively, in general and
administrative expenses is attributable to the change in the operations of the
Company from an investment manager to a fully integrated real estate company,
and the formation of AMB Investment Management. In connection with the Formation
Transactions, AMB Investment Management assumed employment and other related
costs of certain employees who transferred from the Predecessor to AMB
Investment Management for the purpose of carrying on the investment management
business.
 
PROPERTIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The historical results of operations of the Properties for periods prior to
November 26, 1997 include Properties that were managed by the Predecessor and
exclude the results of four properties that were contributed to the Company in
the Formation Transactions that were not previously managed by the Predecessor.
 
     The historical property financial data presented herein show significant
increases in revenues and expenses principally attributable to substantial
portfolio growth. As a result, the Company does not believe the year-to-year
financial data are comparable. Therefore, the analysis below shows (i) changes
resulting from Properties that were owned as of January 1, 1997, excluding
development projects (the "Same Store
 
                                       12
   15
 
Properties"), and (ii) changes attributable to acquisition and development
activity during 1997 and 1998. For the comparison between the six and three
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Same Store Properties consist of
properties aggregating 30.4 million square feet. The Company's future financial
condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted
by the acquisition of additional properties. No assurance can be given that the
past trends of revenues, expenses or income of the Company will continue in the
future at their historical rates, and any variation therefrom may be material.
 
  Properties -- Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
 
     Rental revenues. Rental revenues, including straight-line rents, tenant
reimbursements and other property related income, increased by $49.5 and $28.5
million, or 44% and 50%, for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998, to
$160.8 and $85.0 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in
1997. Approximately $7.0 and $3.5 million, or 14% and 12% of this increase, was
attributable to Same Store Properties, with the remaining $42.5 and $25.0
million attributable to Properties acquired in 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
growth in rental revenues in Same Store Properties resulted primarily from the
incremental effect of rental rate increases, changes in occupancy and
reimbursement of expenses. During the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 1998,
such increase in average base rents (cash basis) was 12.1% on 7.0 million square
feet leased.
 
     Property operating expenses and real estate taxes. Property operating
expenses, including asset management costs and real estate taxes, increased by
$8.2 and $4.6 million, or 24% and 26%, for the six and three months ended June
30, 1998, respectively, to $42.5 and $22.3 million as compared with the same
periods in 1997. Same Store Properties operating expenses decreased by
approximately $0.6 and $0.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30,
1998, respectively, while operating expenses attributable to Properties acquired
in 1998 and 1997 added $8.8 and $4.8 million, respectively. The change in Same
Store Properties operating expenses and real estate taxes relates to increases
in Same Store Properties real estate taxes and insurance expense of
approximately $0.2 and $0.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30,
1998, respectively, offset by decreases in Same Store Properties other property
operating expenses (excluding real estate taxes and insurance) of approximately
$0.8 and $0.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. The decrease in other property operating expenses is attributable
to lower asset management costs in 1998 as compared to 1997 resulting from the
change in ownership structure.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company expects that its principal sources of working capital and
funding for acquisitions, development, expansion and renovation of Properties
will include borrowings under the Credit Facility, other forms of secured or
unsecured financing, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by the Company or
the Operating Partnership (including issuances of Units in the Operating
Partnership) and cash flows provided by operations. Management believes that its
sources of working capital and its ability to access private and public debt and
equity capital are adequate to continue to meet liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future.
 
  Capital Resources
 
     The Company has a $500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with
Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as agent, and a syndicate of twelve
other banks. The Credit Facility has a term of three years and is subject to a
fee that accrues on the daily average undrawn funds, which varies between 15 and
25 basis points (currently 15 basis points) of the undrawn funds based on the
Company's credit rating. The Company uses the Credit Facility principally for
acquisitions and for general working capital requirements. Borrowings under the
Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 to 120 basis points (currently
LIBOR plus 90 basis points), depending on the Company's debt rating at the time
of such borrowings. As of June 30, 1998, the outstanding balance on the Credit
Facility was $87.0 million and bore interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points
(6.59% as of such date). Monthly debt service payments on the Credit Facility
are interest only. The Credit Facility matures in November 2000. The total
amount available under the Credit Facility fluctuates based upon the borrowing
base, as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility. At June 30,
1998, the maximum amount available under the Credit Facility was approximately
$413.0 million. In
                                       13
   16
 
addition, in April 1998, the Company obtained a $50.0 unsecured acquisition
facility from NationsBank, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points (6.59%
at June 30, 1998). The $50.0 unsecured acquisition facility was repaid in July
1998.
 
     In April 1998, the Company received credit ratings for its unsecured debt
of Baa1 from Moody's Investors Service, BBB from Standard & Poor's Corporation
and BBB+ from Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. As a result of the receipt of the
investment-grade credit ratings, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was
reduced by 20 basis points to the current rate of LIBOR plus 90 basis points.
 
     In June 1998, the Company issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of
unsecured notes ("Senior Debt Securities") in an underwritten public offering,
the net proceeds of which were used to repay amounts outstanding under the
Credit Facility. The Senior Debt Securities mature in June 2008, June 2015 and
June 2018 and bear interest at a weighted average rate of 7.18%, which is
payable in June and December of each year, commencing in December 1998. The 2015
notes are putable and callable in June 2005.
 
     In connection with the Formation Transactions and property acquisitions
consummated subsequent thereto, the Company has assumed various mortgages and
other secured debt. As of June 30, 1998, the aggregate principal amount of such
secured debt was $575.6 million, excluding unamortized debt premiums of $16.8
million. The secured debt bears interest at rates varying from 4.00% to 10.38%
per annum (with a weighted average of 7.91%) and final maturity dates ranging
from November 1998 to January 2014.
 
     As of June 30, 1998, the Company's total outstanding debt was approximately
$1.1 billion, including unamortized debt premiums of approximately $16.8
million. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The total amount of
debt to be repaid during the remainder of 1998 is approximately $16.9 million,
including scheduled principal amortization of approximately $3.3 million.
 
     In order to maintain financial flexibility and facilitate the rapid
deployment of capital through market cycles, the Company presently intends to
operate with a debt-to-total market capitalization ratio of less than 45%.
Additionally, the Company presently intends to continue to structure its balance
sheet in order to maintain an investment grade rating on its senior unsecured
debt. As of June 30, 1998, the Company's debt-to-total market capitalization
ratio was approximately 34.2%.
 
  Liquidity
 
     As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $29.2 million in cash
and cash equivalents and $413.0 million of additional available borrowings under
the Credit Facility. Additionally, on July 20, 1998, the Company sold $100
million of Series A preferred stock in an underwritten public offering, the net
proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding borrowings on its Credit
Facility.
 
     The Company intends to use cash from operations and available borrowings
under its Credit Facility as well as net proceeds from future debt or equity
offerings, if any, to fund property acquisitions, development activities, and
capital expenditures and to provide for general working capital requirements.
 
     On June 19, 1998, the Company and the Operating Partnership declared a
quarterly cash distribution of $0.3425 per common share and operating
partnership unit, payable on July 9, 1998 to stockholders and unitholders of
record on June 30, 1998.
 
     The anticipated size of the Company's distributions, using only cash from
operations, will not allow it to retire all of its debt as it comes due.
Therefore, the Company intends to also repay maturing debt with net proceeds
from future debt and/or equity financings. No assurance can be given, however,
that future financings will be available to the Company or that the terms of any
such financings will be favorable from the Company's perspective.
 
  Capital Commitments
 
     In addition to recurring capital expenditures and costs to renew or
re-tenant space, the Company is currently in the process of renovating,
expanding or developing 16 projects at a total estimated cost of $308.6 million
upon completion. The Company presently expects to fund these expenditures with
cash from
                                       14
   17
 
operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility or debt or equity issuances.
Other than these capital items, the Company has no material capital commitments.
During the period from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998, the Company invested
$415.5 million in 104 industrial buildings, aggregating 10.2 million rentable
square feet. The acquisitions were funded through borrowings under the Credit
Facility, cash, debt assumption of approximately $99.6 million, co-investments
by Institutional Alliance Partners(TM) of approximately $60.3 million and the
issuance of LP Units with a value of approximately $28.2 million at the date of
issuance. The Company expects that its funds from operations and borrowings
under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet expected capital
commitments for the next 12 months.
 
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
 
     Many computer programs have been written using two digits rather than four
to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This "year 2000 issue" could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities.
 
     The Company's current financial systems adequately provide for a four-digit
year and management believes the year 2000 issue will not materially affect its
business operations or financial condition. Additionally, the Company does not
expect that the year 2000 issue will materially affect its operations due to

     Management believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO"), as defined by
NAREIT, is an appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT. While FFO
is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of REITs, it does
not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP, and it
should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating
liquidity or operating performance. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may
not be comparable.
 
     The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's FFO for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998. The 1997 FFO was prepared on
a pro forma basis (giving effect to the completion of the Formation
Transactions, the IPO, and certain 1997 property acquisitions and dispositions)
as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997 (dollars in thousands).

- ---------------
(1) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors
    of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in
    March 1995 (the "White Paper") defines Funds from Operations as net income
    (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from
    debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related
    depreciation and
 
                                       15
   18
 
    amortization. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance
    of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analyses. The
    Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the White
    Paper, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by
    other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO
    should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
    accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of financial performance or to cash
    flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
    measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund cash
    needs, including the ability to make distributions.
 
(2) Represents FFO attributable to minority interests in consolidated joint
    ventures for the period presented, which has been computed as minority
    interests' share of net income plus minority interests' share of real
    estate-related depreciation and amortization of the consolidated joint
    ventures for such period. Such minority interests are not convertible into
    shares of Common Stock.
