AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999 (UNAUDITED) AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed financial data of Equity One, Inc. ("the Company") are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. The December 31, 1999 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 appearing in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the most recent annual consolidated financial statements. 3. Income Tax Status The Company has claimed a special Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") tax status effective January 1, 1995 and in the opinion of management continues to meet all of the eligibility requirements for REIT tax status. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any provision for federal income tax. 4. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. 9 5. Minority Interest On January 1, 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Equity One (Walden Woods) Inc., entered into a limited partnership as a general partner. An income producing shopping center ("Walden Woods Village") was contributed by its owners (the "Minority Partners") and the Company contributed 93,656 unregistered shares of common stock to the limited partnership at an agreed-upon price of $10.30 per share. Based on this per share price and the net value of property contributed by the Minority Partners, each of the Partners received 93,656 limited partnership units. The Company and the Minority Partners have entered into a Redemption Agreement whereby the Minority Partners can request that the Company purchase back all or part of the common stock at $10.30 per share no earlier than two years nor later than fifteen years after the exchange date of January 1, 1999. As a result of the Redemption Agreement, the minority interest has been presented as a liability. In addition, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the Minority Partners do not have an interest in the common stock of the Company except to the extent of dividends declared on such common stock. Accordingly, a preference in earnings has been allocated to the Minority Partners to the extent of the dividends declared. 6. New Accounting Pronouncement The Securities and Exchange Commission recently published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 which summarize its views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in the financial statements. Management does not believe that this bulletin will have any impact on the Company's financial statements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere herein. (1) Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared To Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Total revenues increased by approximately $1.3 million, or 18.3% to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $7.1 million for the comparable period of 1999. The majority of the increase (approximately $1.1 million) can be attributed to the following acquisitions: Pine Island Plaza, a Supermarket and Home Depot Expo anchored Shopping Center, and the adjacent Ridge Plaza, both located in Davie, Florida on August 26, 1999; Mandarin Landing, a Supermarket Shopping Center (as defined in the Company's Form 10-K/A), located in Jacksonville, Florida on December 9, 1999 and Mariners Crossing, a Supermarket Shopping Center, located in Spring Hill, Florida on September 12, 2000. Additional sources of increased revenues were the opening of phase one at Forest Village, a Supermarket Shopping Center located in Tallahassee, Florida, which contributed $118,500 and an increase in same property revenues of $228,348, and an increase in other revenues of $196,000 offset by the loss of $318,000 in revenues relating to the sale of Four Corners, a Supermarket Shopping Center located in Tomball, Texas on December 7, 1999. 10 Operating expenses increased by approximately $195,000, or 10.3% to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1.9 million for the comparable period of 1999. The primary cause for the increase was a $365,000 increase relating to the aforementioned acquisitions, a decrease in all other property operating expenses of $96,000 and a reduction of $74,000 in operating expenses relating to the sale of Four Corners. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $170,000, or 18.9% to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $899,000 for the comparable period of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from the net addition of properties to the Company's portfolio reported above. Interest expense increased by approximately $571,000, or 40.8% to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $1.4 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the Company's line of credit interest of $73,000, an increase in mortgage note interest on new loans of $712,000, offset by a $98,000 increase in capitalized interest to a total of $503,000, a decline in interest on same mortgage notes of $51,000 and a decline in interest of $65,000 relating to the payoff of the Monument Point loan. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $238,000, or 84.1% to $521,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $283,000 for the comparable period of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from increases in payroll costs of $322,000, increase in office rent of $42,000 a decline in professional fees of $54,000, and a net increase in all other expenses totaling $63,000 offset by a $135,000 increase in capitalization of costs relating to development projects to a total of $210,000. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by approximately $129,000, or 5.0% to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period of 1999. Nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to nine months ended June 30, 1999 Total revenues increased by approximately $5.0 million or 25.6% to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $19.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. The majority of the increase (approximately $4.3 million) can be attributed to the following acquisitions: a K-Mart lease and building located in the Company's Lantana Village Shopping Center in Lantana, Florida on March 31, 1999; Pine Island Plaza, a Supermarket and Home Depot Expo anchored Shopping Center, and the adjacent Ridge Plaza, both located in Davie, Florida on August 26, 1999; Mandarin Landing, a Supermarket Shopping Center located in Jacksonville, Florida, on December 9, 1999 and Mariners Crossing, a Supermarket Shopping Center, located in Spring Hill, Florida on September 12, 2000. Additional sources of increased revenues was the opening of Forest Village, a Supermarket Shopping Center located in Tallahassee, Florida, which contributed $195,000 and an increase in same property revenues of $1.4, offset by the loss of $928,000 in revenues relating to the sale of Four Corners, a Supermarket Shopping Center located in Tomball, Texas on December 7, 1999. Operating expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 23.5% to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $5.1 million for the comparable period of 1999. The primary cause for the increase was a $1.4 million increase relating to the aforementioned acquisitions and the opening of Forest Village reported above, an increase in other property operating expenses of $61,000, and a $219,000 reduction in operating expenses relating to the sale of Four Corners. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $536,000, or 21.4% to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $2.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from the net addition of properties to the Company's portfolio reported above. Interest expense increased by approximately $1.8 million, or 51.4% to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $3.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the Company's line of credit interest of $629,000, an increase in mortgage note interest on new loans of $1.8 million, offset by a $482,000 increase in capitalized interest to a total of $1.7 million, a decline in 11 interest on same mortgage notes of $305,000, and a decrease in interest of $124,000 relating to the payoff of the Monument Point loan. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $422,000, or 35.2% to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from $1.2 for the comparable period of 1999. The net increase resulted primarily from an increase in payroll costs of $843,000 and a net decrease in all other expenses totaling $115,000, offset by a $306,000 increase in capitalization of costs relating to development projects to a total of $663,000. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by approximately $985,000, or 13.7% to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $7.2 million for the comparable period of 1999. Funds from Operations The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has adopted the NAREIT White Paper on Funds from Operations (the "White Paper") which provides additional guidance on the calculation of funds from operations. The White Paper, originally released in March 1995 and revised effective January 1, 2000, defines funds from operations ("FFO") as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. Management believes that FFO is a helpful measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, it provides an understanding of the Company's ability to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. 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 equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be examined in conjunction with the net income as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and information included elsewhere herein. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. 12 The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands except per share data):

FFO increased by approximately $340,000, or 9.7% to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $3.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. FFO increased by approximately $1.4 million or 14.0 % to $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $10.0 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase is primarily the result of the acquisition of additional properties, the opening of Skylake phase one and the difference between the increases in same property revenues and expenses, as noted above. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the principal sources of funding for the Company's operations, including the renovation, expansion, development and acquisition of shopping centers, have been operating cash flows, the issuance of securities and mortgage loans. The Company's principal demands for liquidity are maintenance, repair and tenant improvements of existing properties, acquisitions and development activities, debt service and repayment obligations and distributions to its stockholders. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of approximately $119.5 million, all of which was fixed rate mortgage indebtedness bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 7.5% and collateralized by 19 of the Company's existing properties. The Company also has provided a $1.5 million letter of credit to secure certain obligations in connection with the acquisition of one of the Company's properties. This letter of credit is collateralized by a mixed-use property located in West Palm Beach, Florida. In order to meet the Company's expansion objectives, the Company secured a $35.0 million Credit Agreement with City National Bank of Florida on February 4, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement accrues interest at 225 basis points over the thirty day LIBOR rate, payable monthly, adjusted every six months and matures February 4, 2002. Advances under the Credit Agreement will be used to fund property acquisitions, development activities and other Company activities. On July 6, 2000, the limitation on advances under the Credit Agreement was decreased from approximately $30.5 million to approximately $17.6 million as a result of releasing a portion of the Skylake collateral to secure permanent financing, with future increases conditioned on the posting of additional collateral. On October 10, 2000 the limitation was increased to approximately $20.6 million, with future increases conditioned on the posting of additional collateral. As of September 30, 2000 the Credit Agreement was secured by mortgages on East Bay Plaza, Beauclerc Village, Mandarin Landing, Mandarin Mini Storage, the Equity One Office Building and a portion of Skylake. As of September 30, 2000, the outstanding 13 balance under the Credit Agreement had been decreased to $13.2 million from $19.5 million as of December 31, 1999. The terms of the Credit Agreement allow the lender to cease funding and/or accelerate the maturity date if neither Mr. Katzman nor Mr. Valero remains as the executives in control of the Company. The Credit Agreement also limits the amount that can be borrowed for the purchase of vacant land and contains other customary conditions and covenants, including, among other things, the payment of commitment fees and the required delivery of various title, insurance, zoning and environmental assurances on the secured properties, and a prohibition on secondary financing on any of the secured properties. As of September 30, 2000, the percentage of the total real estate cost of the Company's Existing Properties (as defined in the Company's Form 10-K/A) that was encumbered by debt was 54.1%. None of the existing mortgages are subject to cross default provisions of a mortgage on any other property nor are any cross-collateralized. However, in connection with the Company's acquisition of Lake Mary, the Company has provided a $1.5 million letter of credit to secure certain obligations, which letter of credit is collateralized by the mixed-use property located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The Company has one major development project underway, the Shops at Skylake, which will add an aggregate of 280,000 square feet of retail space to the Company's portfolio. Phase one was completed in July 1999, and phase two was completed in July 2000 bringing the total developed space to 150,702 square feet. Completion of an additional 24,000 square feet is underway with construction of the balance of the project expected to commence in 2001. Future funding required to complete this project is expected to total approximately $7.9 million. Upon stabilization, management expects this development to have a positive effect on cash generated by operating activities and FFO. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.26, $0.26 and $0.26 per outstanding share of common stock on March 31, June 30, and September 29, respectively, totaling $3.0 million, $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. On February 22, 2000, the Company instituted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") that allows its shareholders to reinvest all or a portion of their cash dividends in additional shares of the Company's common stock and to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. On March 8, 2000, Gazit (1995), Inc., M.G.N. (USA), Inc. and Gazit-Globe (1982), Ltd., affiliates of the Company, enrolled in the Plan with respect to the majority of their shares of common stock. On March 31 and June 30, 2000, these affiliates and certain other investors reinvested cash dividends totaling approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the purchase of 180,935 and 183,459 shares, respectively, of the Company's authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Effective September 1, 2000 the Plan was suspended by the Company. The Company believes that cash provided by operations is adequate and anticipates that it will continue to be adequate in both the short and long-term to meet operating requirements (including recurring capital expenditures at its properties) and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Cash Flow The net cash provided by operations of approximately $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included: (1) net income of $8.2 million, (2) adjustment for non-cash items of $3.3 million, and (3) a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $5.1 million, compared to net cash provided by operations of approximately $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, which included (1) net income of $7.2 million, (2) adjustment for non-cash items of $2.8 million, and (3) a change in operating assets and liabilities of $7.9 million of which $6.8 million was an escrow deposit relating to the sale of one of the Company's properties. 14 Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included the purchase of one building, building improvements and completion of development projects for $16.2 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of approximately $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 which included (1) the acquisition of three Supermarket Shopping Centers and the K-Mart lease and building located at the Company's Lantana Village Shopping Center for $44.7 million, (2) Skylake phase one construction and development cost of $3.9 million and $3.3 million for the acquisition of undeveloped land, and (3) construction costs relating to the Skylake phase two and the Forest Village project, in the amount of $4.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included (1) a mortgage notes payoff of $2.5 million and principal payments on mortgage notes of $2.1 million, (2) borrowings under new mortgage notes of $26.4 million, (3) net reduction on the Credit Agreement and other floating rate facilities of $6.3 million, (4) cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders of $9.1 million, (5) proceeds from the issuance of stock under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan of $3.5 million, and (6) other miscellaneous uses of $360,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, which included (1) a mortgage note payoff of $1.2 million and principal payments on mortgage notes of $1.7 million, (2) borrowings under new mortgage notes of $31.2 million, (3) net borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $10.6 million, (4) cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders of $8.3 million, (5) proceeds from the exercise of C-Warrants to purchase common stock of $8.1 million, and (6) and other miscellaneous uses of $200,000. Inflation Most of the Company's leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on tenant gross sales above predetermined levels, which rents generally increase as prices rise, or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices. Most of the Company's leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. The Company's financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which its properties are located. An economic recession, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, could result in the inability of some existing tenants of the Company to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Company's ability to attract or retain tenants. The properties are typically anchored by supermarkets, drug stores and other consumer necessity and service retailers which typically offer day-to-day necessities rather than luxury items. These types of tenants, in the experience of the Company, generally maintain more consistent sales performance during periods of adverse economic conditions.
