Table of ContentsEXPLANATORY NOTE This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012 of Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Prologis, Inc.” or the “REIT”, mean Prologis, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to “Prologis, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Prologis, L.P., and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “the Company”, “Prologis”, “we”, “our” or “us” means the REIT and the Operating Partnership collectively. Prologis, Inc. is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2012, the REIT owned an approximate 99.56% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 0.44% common limited partnership interest is owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the REIT has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the REIT and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the REIT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The REIT’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the REIT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. The REIT itself does not issue any indebtedness, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s investment in certain investees. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the REIT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of partnership units to third parties. Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the REIT and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements include the interests in consolidated investees not owned by the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the REIT’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which are accounted for as partners’ capital by the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight the differences between the REIT and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the REIT and the Operating Partnership including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the REIT and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of Prologis.

Business. On June 3, 2011, AMB Property Corporation (“AMB”) and AMB Property, LP completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger with ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“ProLogis”) and its subsidiaries (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, AMB changed its name to Prologis, Inc. (the “REIT”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding common share of beneficial interest of ProLogis was converted into 0.4464 of a newly issued share of common stock of the REIT. As further discussed in Note 2, AMB was the legal acquirer and ProLogis was the accounting acquirer. As such, the period ended March 31, 2011 includes the historical results of ProLogis only. See Note 2 for further discussion on the Merger. Prologis, Inc. commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable the REIT to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. The REIT is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Through our controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global, regional and other distribution markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy includes two reportable business segments: Real Estate Operations and Private Capital. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our Private Capital segment represents the long-term management of co-investment ventures and other unconsolidated investees. See Note 15 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company”, “Prologis”, “we”, “our” or “us” means the REIT and Operating Partnership collectively. As of March 31, 2012, the REIT owned an approximate 99.56% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units. The remaining approximate 0.44% common limited partnership interest is owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the REIT has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the REIT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the REIT and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the REIT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the REIT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the REIT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in the U.S. dollar, 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. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the REIT and the Operating Partnership for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements of Prologis, as previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and other public information. Certain amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 financial statement presentation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update that requires disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements to enable financial statements users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosure requirements are effective for us on January 1, 2013, and we do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the scope of current U.S. GAAP. The update clarifies that the real estate sales guidance applies to the derecognition of a subsidiary that is in-substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. That is, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under the consolidation guidance, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary’s operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. This accounting standard update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after June 15, 2012. We do not expect the guidance to impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend and simplify the rules related to testing goodwill for impairment. The update allows an entity to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entity’s events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required two-step impairment test. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012 and it has not had a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the changes in stockholders’ equity, and requires the presentation of components of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This accounting standard update is effective, on a retrospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. As this standard is for presentation purposes only, it had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to amend the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to achieve further convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2012, and the adoption of this standard was not considered material.
Merger of AMB and ProLogis As discussed in Note 1, we completed the Merger on June 3, 2011. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, the Merger resulted in a reverse acquisition in which AMB was the “legal acquirer” because AMB issued its common stock to ProLogis shareholders and ProLogis was the “accounting acquirer” due to various factors, including the fact that ProLogis shareholders held the largest portion of the voting rights in the merged entity and ProLogis appointees represented the majority of the Board of Directors. In our Consolidated Financial Statements, the period ended March 31, 2011 includes the historical results of ProLogis only. The purchase price allocation reflects aggregate consideration of approximately $5.9 billion. The allocation of the purchase price requires a significant amount of judgment. The allocation was based on our valuation, estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. While the current allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is in process of being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. Acquisition of ProLogis European Properties During the second quarter of 2011, we increased our ownership of ProLogis European Properties (“PEPR”) through open market purchases and a mandatory tender offer. In May 2011, we settled our mandatory tender offer that resulted in the acquisition of an additional 96.5 million ordinary units and 2.7 million convertible preferred units of PEPR. During all of the second quarter of 2011, we made aggregate cash purchases totaling €715.8 million ($1.0 billion). We funded the purchases through borrowings under our global line of credit and a new €500 million bridge facility, which was subsequently repaid with proceeds from an equity offering in June 2011. Upon completion of the tender offer, we met the requirements to consolidate PEPR. In accordance with the accounting rules for business combinations, we marked our equity investment in PEPR from carrying value to fair value of approximately €486 million, which resulted in the recognition of a gain of €59.6 million ($85.9 million). We refer to this transaction as the “PEPR Acquisition”. The fair value was based on the trading price for our previously owned units and our acquisition price for the PEPR units purchased during the tender offer period. We have allocated the aggregate purchase price, representing the share of PEPR we owned at the time of consolidation of €1.1 billion ($1.6 billion). The allocation was based on our valuation, estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. While the current allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. Pro forma Information (unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents our results as though the Merger and the PEPR Acquisition, as well as the equity offering in June 2011 that was used, in part, to repay the loans used to fund the PEPR Acquisition, had been consummated as of January 1, 2010. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations had the transactions been consummated at the beginning of the period indicated nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. The pro forma information does not give effect to any cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the Merger and also does not include any merger and integration expenses. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included three months of pro forma adjustments for both the Merger and PEPR Acquisition.

These results include certain adjustments, primarily decreased revenues resulting from the amortization of the net asset from the acquired leases with favorable or unfavorable rents relative to estimated market rents, increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the adjustment of real estate assets to estimated fair value and recognition of intangible assets related to in-place leases and acquired management contracts and lower interest expense due to the accretion of the fair value adjustment of debt. Acquisitions of Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures On February 3, 2012, we acquired our partner’s 63% interest in and now own 100% of our previously unconsolidated co-investment venture Prologis North American Industrial Fund II (“NAIF II”) and we repaid the loan from NAIF II to our partner for a total of $336.1 million. The assets and liabilities of this venture, as well as the activity since the acquisition date, have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In accordance with the accounting rules for business combinations, we marked our equity investment in NAIF II from its carrying value to the estimated fair value. The fair value was determined and allocated based on our valuation, estimates, and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The preliminary allocation of net assets acquired is approximately $1.6 billion in real estate assets, $36.6 million of net other assets, and $880.9 million in debt. We have not recorded a gain or loss with this transaction, as the carrying value of our investment was equal to the estimated fair value. We have substantially completed the purchase price allocation, and we do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. On February 22, 2012, we dissolved the unconsolidated co-investment venture Prologis California (“Prologis California”) and divided the portfolio equally with our partner. The net value of the assets and liabilities distributed represents the fair value of our ownership interest in the co-investment venture on that date. In accordance with the accounting rules for business combinations, we marked our equity investment in Prologis California from its carrying value to the estimated fair value which resulted in a gain of $273.0 million. The gain is recorded in Gains on Acquisitions and Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value was determined and allocated based on our valuation, estimates, and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The preliminary allocation of net assets acquired is approximately $496.3 million in real estate assets, $17.7 million of net other assets, and $150.0 million in debt. We have substantially completed the purchase price allocation, and we do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. We refer to these two transactions collectively as “Q1 Venture Acquisitions”.
Investments in real estate properties are presented at cost, and consist of the following (in thousands):
At March 31, 2012, excluding our assets held for sale, we owned real estate assets in the Americas (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 (China, Japan and Singapore). During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized Gains on Acquisitions and Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net in continuing operations of $267.8 million. This included a gain of $273.0 million related to the acquisition of our share of Prologis California (see Note 2 for further discussion of the Prologis California transaction).

See Note 6 for further discussion of properties we sold to third parties that are reported in discontinued operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment charge of $16.1 million related to the land received in 2011 in exchange for a note receivable. This impairment was recorded in Impairment of Other Assets in our consolidated Financial Statements.
Summary of Investments We have investments in entities through a variety of ventures. We co-invest in entities that own multiple properties with private capital investors and provide asset and property management services to these entities. We refer to these entities as co-investment ventures. Our ownership interest in these entities generally ranges from 10-50%. These entities may be consolidated or unconsolidated, depending on the structure, our partner’s rights and participation and our level of control of the entity. This Note details our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See Note 10 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments. We also have investments in joint ventures, generally with one partner and that we do not manage. We refer to our investments in the entities accounted for on the equity method, both unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other joint ventures, as unconsolidated investees. Our investments in and advances to our unconsolidated investees are summarized below (in thousands):
Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures As of March 31, 2012, we had investments in and managed 13 unconsolidated co-investment ventures that own portfolios of operating industrial properties and may also develop properties. Private capital revenue includes revenues we earn for the management services we provide to unconsolidated investees and certain third parties. These fees are recognized as earned and may include property and asset management fees or transactional fees for leasing, acquisition, construction, financing, legal and tax services. We may also earn promote payments based on the third party investor returns over time. In addition, we may earn fees for services provided to develop a building within the co-investment venture. These are reflected as Development Management and Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Summarized information regarding our investments in the co-investment ventures is as follows (in thousands):
We completed the Merger and PEPR Acquisition in the second quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, we also acquired one of our unconsolidated co-investment venture and dissolved another, both located in the Americas. Therefore 2011 may not be comparable to 2012. See Note 2 for more information on these transactions. Private capital revenues include fees and incentives we earn for services provided to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures (shown above), as well as fees earned from other unconsolidated investees and third parties of $1.0 million and $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures Certain unconsolidated co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We are committed to offer to contribute certain properties that we develop and stabilize in select markets in Europe and Mexico to certain ventures. These ventures are committed to acquire such properties, subject to certain exceptions, including that the properties meet certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the ventures have available capital. We are not obligated to contribute properties at a loss. Depending on market conditions, the investment objectives of the ventures, our liquidity needs and other factors, we may make contributions of properties to these ventures through the remaining commitment period. The following table is a summary of remaining equity commitments as of March 31, 2012 (in millions):
Other Joint Ventures Our investments in and advances to these entities are as follows (in thousands):

The activity on the notes receivable backed by real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):
Held for Sale As of March 31, 2012, we had land and nine operating properties that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The amounts included in held for sale as of March 31, 2012 primarily include real estate investment balances and the related assets and liabilities for each property. Discontinued Operations During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 70 operating properties aggregating 7.9 million square feet to third parties, most of which was included in Assets Held for Sale at December 31, 2011. During all of 2011, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 94 properties aggregating 10.7 million square feet to third parties. The operations of the properties held for sale or disposed of to third parties and the aggregate net gains recognized upon their disposition are presented as Discontinued Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations only if it is directly attributable to these properties. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows (in thousands):

All debt is held directly or indirectly by the Operating Partnership. The REIT itself does not have any indebtedness, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. We generally do not guarantee the debt issued by consolidated subsidiaries in which we own less than 100%. Our debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
Credit Facilities We have a global senior credit facility (“Global Facility”), where funds may be drawn in U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Canadian dollar on a revolving basis. The loans cannot exceed $1.71 billion (subject to currency fluctuations). We may increase the Global Facility to $2.75 billion, subject to currency fluctuations and obtaining additional lender commitments. The Global Facility is scheduled to mature on June 3, 2015, but the Operating Partnership may, at its option and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee, extend the maturity date to June 3, 2016. Pricing under the Global Facility, including the spread over LIBOR, facility fees and letter of credit fees, varies based upon the public debt ratings of the Operating Partnership. The Global Facility contains customary representations, covenants and defaults (including a cross-acceleration to other recourse indebtedness of more than $50 million). We also have a ¥36.5 billion (approximately $445 million at March 31, 2012) yen revolver (the “Revolver”). The Revolver matures on March 1, 2014, but we may, at our option and subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and payment of an extension fee, extend the maturity date to February 27, 2015. We may increase availability under the Revolver to an amount not exceeding ¥56.5 billion (approximately $688.8 million at March 31, 2012) subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. Pricing under the Revolver is consistent with the Global Facility pricing. The Revolver contains certain customary representations, covenants and defaults that are substantially the same as the corresponding provisions of the Global Facility. We refer to the Global Facility and the Revolver, collectively, as our “Credit Facilities”. Commitments and availability under our Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2012 were as follows (dollars in millions):
Exchangeable Senior Notes In connection with the Merger and exchange offer, our convertible senior notes became exchangeable senior notes issued by the Operating Partnership that are exchangeable into common stock of the REIT. As a result, the accounting for the exchangeable senior notes now requires us to separate the fair value of the derivative instrument (exchange feature) from the debt instrument and account for it separately as a derivative. We have determined that the exchangeable notes issued in 2010 are the only exchangeable notes where the fair value of the derivative is not zero at March 31, 2012, therefore this modification in accounting for the exchangeable notes only affected these notes. At each reporting period, we adjust the derivative instrument to fair value with the resulting adjustment being recorded in earnings as Foreign Currency Exchange and Derivative Gains (Losses), Net. The fair value of the derivative associated with our exchangeable notes was a liability of $44.3 million and $17.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and therefore, we have recognized an unrealized loss of $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Secured Mortgage Debt TMK bonds are a financing vehicle in Japan for special purpose companies known as TMKs. In the first quarter of 2012, we issued ¥30.5 billion ($372 million as of March 31, 2012) TMK bonds with maturity dates ranging from March 2017 to March 2019 with interest rates ranging from 1.0% to 1.2%, and secured by three properties and with an undepreciated cost at March 31, 2012 of $528.9 million. In the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the acquisition of NAIF II (see Note 2 for more details), we have assumed additional mortgage debt of $880.9 million, with maturity dates ranging from September 2012 to December 2018. Subsequent to the acquisition, we have paid down a portion of outstanding debt and reduced the balance to $728.7 million, secured by 90 properties with an undepreciated cost of $1.4 billion at March 31, 2012. In the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the acquisition of our share of Prologis California (See Note 2 for more details), we assumed additional mortgage debt of $150.0 million payable in 2014 and secured by 24 properties with an undepreciated cost of $236.2 million at March 31, 2012. Other Debt On February 2, 2012, we entered into a senior term loan agreement where we may obtain loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed €487.5 million ($641.9 million at March 31, 2012). The loans can be obtained in U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling. We may increase the borrowings to approximately €987.5 million ($1.3 billion at March, 2012), subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. The loan agreement is scheduled to mature on February 2, 2014, but we may extend the maturity date three times at our option, in each case up to one year, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. We used the proceeds of the entire senior term loan to pay off the existing two term loans assumed in connection with the Merger and the remainder to pay down credit facilities. Long-Term Debt Maturities Principal payments due on our debt, for the remainder of 2012 and for each of the years in the ten-year period ending December 31, 2021 and thereafter are as follows (in millions):
Debt Covenants Our debt agreements contain various covenants, including maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of March 31, 2012 we were in compliance with all covenants.

Operating Partnership For each share of common stock or preferred stock the REIT issues, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding common or preferred partnership unit, as applicable, to the REIT in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. In addition, other third parties and certain current and former directors and officers of the REIT own common limited partnership units that make up approximately 0.44% of the common partnership units. Preferred Stock of the REIT We had the following preferred stock issued and outstanding (in thousands, except per share and par value data):
The holders of the preferred stock have preference rights with respect to distributions and liquidation over the common stock and certain rights in the case of arrearage. Holders of the preferred stock are not entitled to vote on any matters, except under certain limited circumstances. The series L, M, O, P, R and S preferred stock are redeemable solely at our option, in whole or in part. The series Q preferred stock will be redeemable at our option on and after November 13, 2026.
Operating Partnership We report noncontrolling interest related to several entities we consolidate but do not own 100% of the common equity. These entities include four real estate partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties. Depending on the specific partnership agreements, these limited partnership units are exchangeable into shares of our common stock (or cash), generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one unit. We evaluated the noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity. We also consolidate several entities in which we do not own 100% but the units are not exchangeable into our common stock. If we contribute a property to a consolidated co-investment venture, the property is still reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements, but due to our ownership of less than 100%, there is an increase in noncontrolling interest related to the contributed properties, which represents the cash we receive from our partners.

REIT The noncontrolling interest of the REIT includes the noncontrolling interests presented in the Operating Partnership, as well as the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the REIT. As of March 31, 2012, the REIT owned approximately 99.56% of the common partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The following is a summary of the noncontrolling interest and the consolidated entity’s total investment in real estate and debt at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):
Under its incentive plans, Prologis had stock options and full value awards (restricted stock, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance based shares (“PSAs”)). Summary of Activity The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012, with respect to our stock options, was as follows:

The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012, with respect to our unvested restricted stock, was as follows:
The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012, with respect to our RSU and PSA awards, was as follows:
In the first quarter of 2012, we granted 1,523,222 RSUs, which will vest over three years. In addition, 39,005 PSAs were earned based on 2011 performance.
In connection with the Merger, we have incurred significant transaction, integration, and transitional costs. These costs include investment banker advisory fees; legal, tax, accounting and valuation fees; termination and severance costs (both cash and stock based compensation awards) for terminated and transitional employees; system conversion costs; and other integration costs. These costs are expensed as incurred, which in some cases will be through the end of 2012. Certain of these costs were obligations of AMB and expensed prior to the closing of the Merger by AMB. In addition, we have included costs associated with the acquisition of a controlling interest in PEPR and the reduction in workforce charges associated with dispositions made in 2011. The following is a breakdown of the costs incurred during the three months ended March 31:
We determine basic earnings per share/unit based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock/units outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share/unit based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.

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 derivative contracts. We may use foreign currency contracts, including forwards and options, to manage foreign currency exposure. We may use interest rate swaps or caps 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 effective at offsetting the underlying risk. Our use of derivatives does involve 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 our 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.
21
Table of ContentsPROLOGIS, INC. AND PROLOGIS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (Unaudited)
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 in 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 recognized in 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 as well as to stabilize interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To achieve this objective, we have entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements, which allow us to 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 also have entered into interest rate swap agreements which allow us to receive variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of our agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. We had 40 interest rate swap contracts, including 33 contracts denominated in euro, two contracts denominated in British pound sterling, four contracts denominated in Japanese yen and one contract denominated in U.S. dollar, outstanding at March 31, 2012. We also had one interest rate cap contract, denominated in Japanese yen, outstanding at March 31, 2012. We had $32.5 million and $28.5 million accrued in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets relating to these unsettled derivative contracts at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We recorded a loss of $0.9 million for ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2012. We did not have ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The amount reclassified to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.6 million. The amount reclassified to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is not considered material. Amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were losses of $48.3 million and $51.7 million, respectively. We typically designate our interest rate swap and interest rate cap 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 Loss (“AOCI”) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reclassified to Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the corresponding period of the hedged item. For the next twelve months from March 31, 2012, we estimate that an additional $14.2 million will be reclassified as interest expense. Losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in Interest Expense at the time the ineffectiveness occurred. The following table summarizes the activity in our derivative instruments (in millions) for the three months ended March 31:
Fair Value Measurements We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments 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. Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring and Non-recurring Basis At March 31, 2012, other than the derivatives discussed above and in Note 7, 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.
22
Table of ContentsPROLOGIS, INC. AND PROLOGIS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (Unaudited)
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. The fair value of these assets at March 31, 2012 was not considered material. Fair Value of Financial Instruments At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 and the recent acquisition of these items. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of our senior notes and exchangeable senior notes, has been estimated based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available, the fair value of our Credit Facilities has been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads currently available to us (Level 3), and the fair value of our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds that do not have current quoted market prices available has been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is determined through widely accepted valuation techniques, such as a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows and a Black Sholes option pricing model (Level 2). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. 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 lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so. The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt (in thousands):
Our business strategy currently includes two operating segments, as follows:
We report the costs associated with our private capital segment for all periods presented in the line item Private Capital Expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the direct expenses associated with the asset management of the property funds provided by individuals who are assigned to our private capital 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 real estate operations 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 consolidate (reported in Rental Expenses) and the properties owned by the unconsolidated investees (included in Private Capital Expenses), by using the square feet owned by the respective portfolios. We are further reimbursed by the co-investments ventures for certain expenses associated with managing these property funds. Each entity we manage 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 private capital segment are in the Americas (Brazil, 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 (China and Japan).

Litigation In the normal course of business, from time to time, we and our unconsolidated investees are parties to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that, with respect to any such matters that we are currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matter will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations. In December 2011, arbitration hearings began in connection with a dispute related to a real estate development project known as Pacific Commons. The plaintiff, Cisco Technology, Inc. (“Cisco”), is seeking rescission of a 2007 Restructuring and Settlement Agreement (the “Contract”) and other agreements, and declaratory relief, and damages for breach of the Contract. Specifically, Cisco seeks (1) declaratory relief that Prologis owes certain Community Facilities District taxes that have been assessed against its land, following Cisco’s purchase of the land from Prologis through the exercise of option agreements; (2) declaratory relief that Prologis’ partial transfers of rights and obligations under the Contract to third parties are void; and (3) damages for alleged breaches of the Contract relating to the plans to build a baseball stadium at Pacific Commons. Although the total damages alleged by Cisco are approximately $200 million, we believe these claims are without merit and are defending these matters vigorously. Based on the facts and circumstances surrounding this dispute, we believe the low end of our range of loss is zero and therefore, in accordance with GAAP, we have not recorded any liability with respect to this matter as of March 31, 2012

Table of ContentsITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 sales or contribution volume or profitability on such sales and contributions, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas where we operate and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures – 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 Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to ProLogis and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Merger (defined below) and to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Merger. Management’s Overview We are the leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, focused on global or regional markets across the Americas, Europe and Asia. As of March 31, 2012, we owned, or had investments in, on a consolidated basis or through unconsolidated ventures, properties and development projects totaling approximately 584 million square feet (54.3 million square meters) in 22 countries. These properties are leased to approximately 4,500 customers, including manufacturers, retailers, transportation companies, third-party logistics providers and other enterprises. Of the approximately 584 million square feet of our owned and managed portfolio as of March 31, 2012:
Prologis, Inc. (the “REIT”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). We operate the REIT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise, and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to the REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively. Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Private Capital. We generate revenues, earnings, net operating income (calculated on rental income less rental expenses), and funds from operations (as defined below), and cash flows through our segments primarily through three lines of business, as follows: Real Estate Operations Segment Rental Operations—This represents the primary source of our core revenue, earnings and funds from operations (or FFO as defined below). We collect rent from our customers under operating leases, including reimbursements for the vast majority of our operating costs. We seek to generate long-term internal growth in rents by maintaining a high occupancy rate at our properties, by controlling expenses and through contractual rent increases on existing space and renewals on rollover space, thus capitalizing on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a large global portfolio. Our rental income is diversified due to both our global presence and our broad customer base. We expect to increase overall rental income primarily through the leasing of space currently available in our properties. We believe that our regular maintenance programs, capital expenditure programs, energy management and sustainability programs create cost efficiencies that provide a benefit to our customers as well as the Company. Capital Deployment Activities—Our development and re-development activities support our rental operations and are, therefore, included with that line of business for segment reporting. We develop and re-develop industrial properties primarily in global and regional markets to meet our customers’ needs. Within this line of business, we provide additional value creation by utilizing: (i) the land that we currently own in global and regional markets; (ii) the development expertise of our local personnel; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) the demand for high quality distribution facilities in key markets. We seek to increase our rental income and the net asset value of the Company through the leasing of newly developed space, as well as through the acquisition of new properties. Depending on several factors, we may develop properties directly or in co-investment ventures for long-term hold, for contribution into one of our co-investment ventures, or for sale to third parties. Properties that we choose to contribute or sell may result in the recognition of gains or losses. Generally, in the U.S., Europe and Japan, we are developing directly while in emerging markets, such as Brazil, China and Mexico, we are developing with our private capital partners in a variety of co-investment ventures.
29
Table of ContentsPrivate Capital Segment -We co-invest in properties with private capital investors through a variety of co-investment ventures. We have a direct and long-standing relationship with a significant number of institutional investors. We tailor industrial portfolios to investors’ specific needs and deploy capital in both close-ended and open-ended fund structures and joint ventures, while providing complete portfolio management and financial reporting services. We generally own 10-50% in the ventures. We believe our co-investment in each of our ventures provides a strong alignment of interests with our co-investment partners’ interests. We generate revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures by providing asset management and property management services. We may also earn revenues through additional services provided such as leasing, acquisition, construction, development, disposition, legal and tax services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we may also earn revenues through incentive returns or promotes. We believe our co-investment program with private capital investors will continue to serve as a source of capital for new investments and provide revenues for our stockholders, as well as mitigate risk associated with our foreign currency exposure. We expect to grow this business with the formation of new ventures and by raising additional third-party capital in our existing ventures. On June 3, 2011, we completed a merger in which ProLogis shareholders received 0.4464 of a share of AMB Property Corporation (“AMB”) common stock for each outstanding common share of beneficial interest in ProLogis (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, AMB changed its name to Prologis, Inc. In the Merger, AMB was the legal acquirer and ProLogis was the accounting acquirer.
