NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Unaudited)

1. General:

     Business

     ProLogis (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships “ProLogis”) is a publicly held real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, operates and develops (directly or through unconsolidated investees) industrial distribution properties in North America, Europe and Asia. ProLogis has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

     ProLogis’ business consists of two reportable business segments: property operations and the corporate distribution facilities services business (“CDFS business”). The property operations segment represents the long-term ownership, management and leasing of industrial distribution properties. The CDFS business segment primarily encompasses ProLogis’ development of industrial distribution properties that are either contributed to an unconsolidated property fund in which ProLogis has an ownership interest and acts as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, ProLogis will acquire industrial distribution properties that are generally rehabilitated and/or repositioned in the CDFS business segment prior to being contributed to a property fund. See Note 11.

     Basis of Presentation

     ProLogis’ Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). ProLogis and its subsidiaries are included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and are presented in ProLogis’ functional currency, the U.S. dollar. All entities that ProLogis controls, either through ownership of a majority voting interest or otherwise, or entities in which ProLogis is the primary beneficiary, are consolidated. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.

     The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of ProLogis as of March 31, 2005 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited and, pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted. Management of ProLogis believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate. However, these interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with ProLogis’ December 31, 2004 audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in ProLogis’ 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A#1.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on current expectations, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

     Certain amounts included in ProLogis’ Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation.

2. Keystone Transaction:

     On May 3, 2004, ProLogis and affiliates of four investment funds managed by Eaton Vance Management (the “Fund Affiliates”) established five property funds (the “Acquiring Property Funds” and also referred to by ProLogis as ProLogis North American Properties Funds VI, VII, VIII, IX and X-see Note 5). ProLogis has a 20% ownership interest in each of the Acquiring Property Funds with the remainder owned by the Fund Affiliates. Also on May 3, 2004, ProLogis and the Acquiring Property Funds entered into an agreement to acquire the outstanding equity of

Table of Contents

Keystone Property Trust (“Keystone”), a publicly traded REIT, and the operating units of Keystone Operating Partnership, L.P., a subsidiary of Keystone. Keystone owned and leased industrial distribution properties located in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina and Ohio. The acquisition of Keystone by ProLogis and the Acquiring Property Funds was approved by Keystone’s shareholders on July 30, 2004 and was closed on August 4, 2004.

3. Relocation:

     ProLogis has relocated its information technology and corporate accounting functions from El Paso, Texas to Denver, Colorado and is moving its Denver corporate headquarters. The relocation from El Paso was completed in the first quarter of 2005. The relocation to the new corporate headquarters, which is located in Denver and is currently under development, is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005, ProLogis recognized total relocation expenses of $2.8 million, including $0.6 million of employee termination benefits, $0.5 million of accelerated depreciation associated with non-real estate assets whose useful life has been shortened due to the relocation plans and $1.7 million of costs associated with the hiring and training of new personnel and other costs, including travel and temporary facility costs. ProLogis began the relocation process in the second quarter of 2004.

4. Real Estate:

5. Unconsolidated Investees:

    Summary of Investments and Income

     Since 1997, ProLogis has invested in various entities in which its ownership interest is less than 100% and in which it does not have control as defined under GAAP. Accordingly, these investments are presented under the equity method in ProLogis’ Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Certain of these investments were originally structured such that ProLogis’ ownership interest would allow ProLogis to continue to comply with the requirements of the Code to qualify as a REIT. However, with respect to ProLogis’ investments in property funds, having an ownership interest of 50% or less is part of ProLogis’ business strategy.

     ProLogis’ investments in and advances to entities that are accounted for under the equity method are summarized by type of investee as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

    Property Funds

     Contributions of developed properties to a property fund allow ProLogis to realize, for financial reporting purposes, a portion of the profits from its development activities while at the same time allowing ProLogis to maintain a long-term ownership interest in its developed properties. This business strategy also provides liquidity to fund ProLogis’ future development activities and generates fee income to ProLogis. ProLogis has investments in 15 property funds with ownership interests in these property funds ranging from 11.4% to 50% at March 31, 2005. The property funds own operating properties that have generally been contributed to them by ProLogis, although certain property funds have also acquired properties from third parties and in the case of ProLogis North American Property Funds VI through X, the funds also acquired assets in the Keystone Transaction. ProLogis receives ownership interests in the property funds as part of the proceeds of contributions of properties to the property funds. ProLogis recognizes its proportionate share of the earnings or losses of each property fund. ProLogis earns fees for acting as the manager of each of the property funds and manager of the fund properties, and may earn additional fees by providing other services to certain of the property funds including, but not limited to, acquisition, development and leasing activities performed on their behalf.

     ProLogis’ investments in the 15 property funds, presented under the equity method, were as follows as of the dates indicated (in thousands of U.S. dollars):
