What is the overall financial performance of AMB Property Corporation for the period?

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, AMB Property Corporation reported an 11.1% increase in total revenues to $165.6 million and a 16.2% increase in net income available to common stockholders to $17.1 million, or $0.21 per basic share. The six-month period also showed revenue growth. This performance reflects growth in rental revenues, partially offset by a decline in rental rates on renewals.

What are the key drivers of revenue growth?

Revenue growth is primarily driven by an increase in rental revenues from AMB's industrial properties. This includes contributions from acquisitions and international expansion, as well as an increase in the overall occupancy rate of the industrial portfolio to 93.6%.

What is the company's debt situation and capital resources outlook?

Total debt increased to $3.01 billion as of June 30, 2004. However, the company maintains a debt-to-market capitalization ratio of 41.1% and has access to significant credit facilities, totaling $326 million in available borrowings. The company anticipates meeting its liquidity requirements through various sources, including operations, credit facilities, debt/equity offerings, and proceeds from divestitures.

Are there any significant accounting or control issues to be aware of?

Yes, AMB Property Corporation identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the depreciation of buildings on leased land (ground leases). This led to a restatement of prior period financial results. The company is implementing remediation measures to address this issue.
