EQUITY ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except per share and square feet amounts)

1.  
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Organization

Equity One, Inc. operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that principally acquires, renovates, develops and manages community and neighborhood shopping centers located predominantly in high growth markets in the southern United States and in the metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts area. These shopping centers are primarily anchored by supermarkets or other necessity-oriented retailers such as drug stores or discount retail stores.

Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and those partnerships where the Company has financial and operating control. Equity One, Inc. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated companies” or “the Company.” The Company has a 50% investment in one joint venture which no individual party controls and, accordingly, uses the equity method of accounting for this joint venture.
 
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Portfolio
 
As of September 30, 2005, the Company owned a total of 191 properties encompassing 126 supermarket-anchored shopping centers, seven drug store-anchored shopping centers, 48 other retail-anchored shopping centers, six development parcels and four commercial properties, as well as a non-controlling interest in one unconsolidated joint venture.
 
Interim Financial Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2005.
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
9

 
Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation and the reporting of discontinued operations.
 
2.  
Properties
 
Income producing property is stated at cost and includes all costs related to acquisition, development and construction, including tenant improvements, interest incurred during development, costs of predevelopment and certain direct and indirect costs of development. Costs incurred during the predevelopment stage are capitalized once management has identified a site, determined that the project is feasible and it is probable that the Company is able to proceed with the project. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.
 
The Company is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities and will not be successful in all cases. Costs incurred related to these acquisition opportunities are expensed when it is probable that the Company will not be successful in the acquisition.
 
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
 
Land improvements
40 years
Buildings
30-40 years
Building improvements
5-40 years
Tenant improvements
Over the terms of the related lease, this approximates the economic useful life.
Equipment
5-7 years
 
Total interest expense capitalized to construction in progress and land held for development was $876 and $676 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $2,299 and $2,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
3. Long Lived Assets
 
On a periodic basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, the Company assesses whether the value of the real estate properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if it is probable that management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the historical net carrying value of the property. In management’s estimate of cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, the undiscounted cash flows may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long lived asset are under consideration or a range is estimated. The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management and considers the expected course of action at the balance sheet date. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated actions could impact the determination of whether impairment exists and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s net income. To the extent that impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.
 
When assets are identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company estimates the sales prices, net of selling costs, of such assets. Assets that will be sold together in a single transaction are aggregated in determining if the net sales proceeds of the group are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales prices of the assets, which have been identified for sale, are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded.
 
10

 
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties and other investments. The assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate charge to expense.
 
4.  
Business Combinations
 
The results of operation of any acquired property are included in the Company’s financial statements as of the date of its acquisition.
 
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies and properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties (other than in a forced or liquidation sale). In order to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies and properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company identifies and estimates the fair value of the land, buildings and improvements, reviews the leases to determine the existence of, and estimates fair value of, any contractual or other legal rights and investigates the existence of, and estimates fair value of, any other identifiable intangibles. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangibles.
 
The cost approach is used as the primary method to estimate the fair value of the buildings, improvements and other assets. The cost approach is based upon the current costs to develop the particular asset in that geographic location, less an allowance for physical and functional depreciation. The assigned value for buildings and improvements is based on an as if vacant basis. The market value approach is used as the primary method to estimate the fair value of the land. The determination of the fair value of contractual intangibles is based on the costs incurred to originate a lease, including commissions and legal costs, excluding any new leases negotiated in connection with the purchase of a property. In-place lease values are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease and the Company’s overall relationship with each tenant. The factors considered in the allocation of these values include the nature of the existing relationship with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, the expectation of lease renewals, the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, given the specific market conditions. Above-market and below-market lease values are determined based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of contractual intangibles is amortized over the remaining term of each lease. Other than as discussed above, the Company has determined that its real estate properties do not have any other significant identifiable intangibles.
 
Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangibles and the assumptions of what marketplace participants would use in making estimates of fair value include, but are not limited to: future expected cash flows, estimated carrying costs, estimated origination costs, lease up periods and tenant risk attributes, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired lease will continue to be used in the Company’s portfolio and discount rates used in these calculations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may not always reflect unanticipated events, and changes in circumstances may occur. In making such estimates, management uses a number of sources, including appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property, fair value studies or other market data. Management also considers information obtained in its pre-acquisition due diligence and marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired.
 
11

 
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each related intangible would be expensed.
 
Intangibles associated with property acquisitions are included in other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Securities
 
The Company’s investments consist primarily of equity and debt securities. The Company’s equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices. Changes in the fair value of the equity investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s debt securities are recorded at cost and are classified as held-to-maturity, with the related discount/premium amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
 
For securities classified as held-to-maturity, the Company determines whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The determination of other-than-temporary declines in value requires significant estimates and assumptions by management and requires the consideration of expected outcomes that are out of management’s control. Subsequent changes in estimates, assumptions used or expected outcomes could impact the determination of whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s financial position or net income. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security will be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down will be included in earnings (that is, accounted for as a realized loss).
 
As of September 30, 2005, the fair value of the Company’s debt securities is less than the carrying amount of the investment. The Company holds $14,100 in original principal amount of Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. (“Winn-Dixie”) 8.875% senior notes due April 2008, at a carrying amount of $11,935 and an unrealized loss of $2,764. The decline in value occurred due to the declaration of bankruptcy by Winn-Dixie in February 2005. Management has considered and evaluated the pertinent facts available to it, including that: (i) Winn-Dixie’s equity, at that date, had a fair value of approximately $95,000 which we believe is an indicator that the notes are most likely recoverable, (ii) the notes’ decline in value is most likely due in part to the timeliness of the principal and interest payments, (iii) subsequent to the declaration of bankruptcy the notes’ market price has increased in fair value; and (iv) an analysis by an outside advisor indicates an enterprise value that would provide sufficient value to repay the outstanding bonds. Management believes that these factors provide reasonable assurance that the Company will recover its cost. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2005, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of the investment and has not recognized any investment income on the notes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.
 
13

 
Changes in estimates, assumptions used or expected outcomes could impact the determination of whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s financial position or net income in future periods. If the market value of the notes remains less than the Company’s carrying amount of the notes for an extended period of time and/or the financial condition and near-term prospects of Winn-Dixie deteriorate or do not otherwise improve in the future, among other factors, the Company may be required to record a write-down of the investment.
 
 
7.  
Investments in and Advances to Joint Venture
 
The Company has included in other assets in its consolidated balance sheet, an investment of $273 in an unconsolidated joint venture, which owns a parcel of land that is held for future development or sale. The Company is obligated to fund 50% of any working capital that is required (as determined jointly by the Company and its joint venture partner). The current obligations are a nominal amount to pay property taxes and other carrying costs. The joint venture currently has no outstanding debt obligations or contractual commitments and the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of the joint venture.

The weighted average interest rate of the mortgage notes payable at September 30, 2005 was 7.2%, excluding the effects of the premium adjustment.
 
Each of the existing mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of the Company’s properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $104,088 contain prohibitions on transfers of ownership which may have been violated by the Company’s previous issuances of common stock or in connection with past acquisitions and may be violated by transactions involving the Company’s capital stock in the future. If a violation were established, it could serve as a basis for a lender to accelerate amounts due under the affected mortgage. To date, no lender has notified the Company that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. If the mortgage holders declare defaults under the mortgage documents, we will, if required, prepay the remaining mortgage from existing resources, refinancing of such mortgages, borrowings under our lines of credit or other sources of financing. Based on discussions with various lenders, current credit market conditions and other factors, the Company believes that the mortgages will not be accelerated. Accordingly, the Company believes that the violations of these prohibitions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On September 20, 2005, the Company completed a $120,000 offering of senior unsecured notes that mature on October 15, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). The 2015 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.375% per annum. Interest is due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on April 15, 2006. The 2015 Notes were issued at a discount of $614 that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2015 Notes.
 
The indentures under which the 2015 Notes and other unsecured senior notes were issued have several covenants which limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, require the Company to maintain an unencumbered asset ratio above a specified level and limit the Company’s ability to consolidate, sell, lease, or convey substantially all of its assets to, or merge with any other entity. These notes have also been guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries.
 
The interest rate on the 7.77% senior notes is subject to a 50 basis point increase if the Company does not maintain an investment grade debt rating.
 
The Company swapped $100,000 of the $200,000 senior notes to a floating interest rate based on the 6-month LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%. The weighted average interest rate of the unsecured senior notes at September 30, 2005 was 5.4%, excluding the effects of the interest rate swap and premium adjustment.

The Company entered into a $340,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the sole lead arranger and administrative agent. This facility bears interest at the Company’s option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.65% to 1.35%, depending on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior unsecured long term notes or (ii) at the greater of (x) Wells Fargo’s prime rate and (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%. The facility is guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries. Based on the Company’s current rating, the LIBOR spread is 1.0%. The facility also includes a competitive bid option which allows the Company to conduct auctions among the participating banks for borrowings in an amount not to exceed $170,000, a $35,000 swing line facility for short term borrowings, a $20,000 letter of credit commitment and at the request of the Company, may be increased up to a total commitment of $400,000. The facility expires February 12, 2006 with a one year extension option. In addition, the facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, interest coverage, EBITDA coverage ratios, unencumbered properties, permitted investments and others. The facility also prohibits stockholder distributions in excess of 95% of funds from operations calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Company can make stockholder distributions to avoid income taxes on asset sales. If a default under the facility exists, the Company’s ability to pay dividends would be limited to the amount necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT unless the default is a payment default or bankruptcy event in which case the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $39,000 outstanding on this credit facility. The weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2005 was 4.15%.

The Company also has a $5,000 unsecured credit facility with City National Bank of Florida. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had no outstanding principal balance under this facility. This facility also provides collateral for $1,283 in outstanding letters of credit.
 
As of September 30, 2005, the availability under these credit facilities was approximately $125,132, net of outstanding balances and letters of credit.

Minority Interest
 
On January 1, 1999, Equity One (Walden Woods) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Walden Woods Shares”) 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 has entered into a Redemption Agreement with the Minority Partners whereby the Minority Partners can request that the Company purchase either their limited partnership units or any shares of common stock which they received in exchange for their partnership units at a price of $10.30 per unit or 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 Company has consolidated the accounts of the partnership with the Company’s financial data. In addition, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the Minority Partners do not have an interest in the Walden Woods Shares except to the extent of dividends. Accordingly, a preference in earnings has been allocated to the Minority Partners to the extent of the dividends declared. The Walden Woods Shares are not considered outstanding and are excluded from the share count in the calculation of basic earnings per share.
 
The Company has a controlling, general partner’s interest in Sunlake Equity Joint Venture. The Company has funded all of the acquisition costs, is required to fund any necessary development and operating costs, receives an 8% preferred return on its advances and is entitled to 60% of the profits thereafter. The minority partners are not required to make contributions and, to date, have not contributed any capital. Accordingly, no minority interest has been recorded. The joint venture is in the process of obtaining the required approvals and permits to continue its business plan.
 
The Company also has a controlling interest (75% interest) in Venice Plaza and records a minority interest for the minority share of equity.
 
10.  
Loans to Executives
 
As a result of certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is generally prohibited from making loans to directors and executive officers. Prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company had loaned $7,112 to various executives in connection with their exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock of which $7,047 has been repaid. The remaining note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal amount is due in June 2007. In accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, there have been no material modifications to the terms of the outstanding loan.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective for public entities (excluding small business issuers) in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005, irrespective of the entity’s fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. SFAS 123 (R) allows for two transition alternatives for public companies: (a) modified-prospective transition or (b) modified-retrospective transition. Under the modified-prospective transition method, companies are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Measurement and attribution of compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested, as of the date SFAS 123 (R) is adopted would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution method used previously under SFAS 123 (either for financial statement recognition or pro forma disclosure purposes). Prior periods are not restated. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged (and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS 123 continue to be required under the new standard to the extent those amounts differ from those in the income statement). For periods subsequent to adoption, the impact of this transition method generally is the same as if the modified-retrospective method were applied. Accordingly, pro forma disclosure will not be necessary for periods after the adoption of the new standard. Under the modified-retrospective transition method, companies are allowed to restate prior periods by recognizing compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosure under the provisions of SFAS 123. New awards and unvested awards would be accounted for in the same manner as the modified-prospective method. Companies are permitted to apply the modified-retrospective transition alternative either (a) to all periods presented or (b) to the start of the fiscal year in which SFAS 123 (R) is adopted. The Company intends to adopt SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006. Had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2004, the diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been as reflected in footnote 13.

Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Plans
 
The Company has various stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company applies APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for stock options when the option exercise price equals or exceeds the market value on the date of the grant. No stock-based employee compensation cost for stock options is reflected in net income, as all options under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company records compensation expense related to its restricted stock plan. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data).

Subsequent Events
 
On October 11, 2005, the Company announced that it sent a letter in accordance with Dutch securities laws to the management board and supervisory board of DIM Vastgoed N.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“DIM Vastgoed”), explaining that it intended to make an offer for all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of DIM Vastgoed at a price per share of $20.50 in cash, with no dividends payable to tendering shareholders. Following the delivery of this letter, on October 13, 2005, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Southeast U.S. Holdings Inc., commenced its offer as described in that letter.

DIM Vastgoed is a closed-end investment company that has been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since October 5, 1999. It owns a portfolio of 17 shopping center properties located in the southeastern United States. As of September 30, 2005, it had outstanding 6,894 ordinary shares and had total indebtedness of approximately $222,800. As of the commencement of the offer and following the issuance by DIM Vastgoed of another 481 ordinary shares in October 2005, the Company directly or indirectly owned 629 ordinary shares, representing approximately 8.53% of the issued and outstanding share capital of DIM Vastgoed.

The period for accepting the offer commenced on October 14, 2005 and will end at 3:00 CET time on November 14, 2005, unless extended by the Company. The offer is subject to certain conditions, including that 70%, as revised, of the shareholders of DIM Vastgoed tender their shares. The Company has reserved the right to waive any and all of the conditions.

In addition, on October 31, 2005, the Company announced that it had commenced an offer, through its subsidiary Southeast U.S. Holdings Inc., for all depositary receipts issued by DIM East B.V.s, DIM West B.V.s and DIM North B.V.s. These depositary receipts represent indirect investments in DIM Vastgoed shares and provide the holders of the depositary receipts with a tax advantaged structure through which they can invest in DIM Vastgoed. The Company is offering to purchase the depositary receipts for $20.50 in cash, with no dividends payable to tendering holders, multiplied by the number of ordinary DIM Vastgoed shares underlying such depositary receipts. The depository receipt offer runs contemporaneously with the Company’s public offer for all shares of DIM Vastgoed and ends on November 9, 2005, unless extended by the Company. Each holder of depositary receipts may choose to either (i) tender his depositary receipts against payment of the offer price on or about November 23, 2005, or (ii) tender his depositary receipts on or before September 1, 2007 against payment of the offer price in September 2007 (thereby continuing to benefit from the tax participation structures until then).

The Company has completed a preliminary assessment of property damage from Hurricane Wilma, which made landfall on the southwest coast of Florida on October 24, 2005 and then moved rapidly across southern Florida affecting Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Overall, 34 of the properties in Florida were affected by this storm, though, in most cases, the damage is minimal and limited to landscaping, signage and minor roof damage. All of the properties are either open or ready to open pending restoration of power. The preliminary estimate is that the total out-of-pocket costs, net of insurance recoveries, will be approximately $1,800.
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere herein, the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed on September 14, 2005. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the entire year.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed on September 14, 2005, contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including revenue recognition, cost capitalization, impairment of real estate assets, purchase accounting treatment for acquisitions, impairment testing of goodwill, and joint venture accounting. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, there were no material changes to these policies. The following sets forth an additional critical accounting policy that management believes involves significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.
 
Securities. We have investments that consist primarily of equity and debt securities. The equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices. Changes in the fair value of the equity investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The debt securities are recorded at cost and are classified as held-to-maturity, with the related discount/premium amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
 
For securities classified as held-to-maturity, we determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The determination of other than temporary decline in value requires significant estimates and assumptions by management and requires the consideration of expected outcomes that are out of management control. Subsequent changes in estimates, assumptions used or expected outcomes could impact the determination of whether a decline in value is more than temporary and whether the effects could materially impact our financial position or net income. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security will be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down will be included in earnings (that is, accounted for as a realized loss).
 
As of September 30, 2005, the fair value of our debt securities is less than the carrying amount of the investment. The Company holds $14.1 million in original principal amount of Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. (“Winn-Dixie”) 8.875% senior notes due April 2008, at a carrying amount of $11.9 million and an unrealized loss of $2.8 million. The decline in value occurred due to the declaration of bankruptcy by Winn-Dixie in February 2005. Management has considered and evaluated the pertinent facts available to it, including that: (i) Winn-Dixie’s equity, at that date, had a fair value of approximately $95.0 million which we believe is an indicator that the notes are most likely recoverable, (ii) the notes’ decline in value is most likely due impart to the timeliness of the principal and interest payments, (iii) subsequent to the declaration of bankruptcy, the notes’ market price has increased in fair value; and (iv) an analysis by an outside advisor indicates an enterprise value that would provide sufficient value to repay the outstanding bonds. Management believes that these factors provide reasonable assurance that the Company will recover its cost. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2005, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of the investment. The Company has not recognized any investment income on the notes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.

Overview
 
The execution of our business strategy during 2005 includes:
 
·  
An occupancy rate in our core stabilized shopping center portfolio of 93.7% at September 30, 2005 versus 93.8% at September 30, 2004;
·  
An increase in the average rental rate on 265 lease renewals aggregating 565,201 square feet by 4.3% to $15.22 per square foot;
·  
The execution of 262 new leases totaling 1,229,882 square feet at an average rental rate of $9.68 per square foot, a 18.0% increase over the $8.20 rate of those leases which expired;
·  
The completion of $17.9 million of development projects, including a supermarket anchored center, resulting in incremental, annualized net operating income of $2.0 million;
·  
The issuance of $120.0 million of 5.375% senior unsecured notes maturing in October 2015;
·  
The acquisition of one supermarket anchored center, three land development parcels, one shopping center and an office building for a total of $47.9 million;
·  
The sale of four non-core properties for $45.2 million generating $11.5 million of gains on sale; and
·  
The continuation of our intention to consider alternatives for our Texas portfolio, including a possible sale or joint venture.
 
On February 22, 2005, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., an anchor tenant in 16 of our shopping centers occupying 730,000 square feet of gross leasable area and accounting for approximately $5 million in annualized minimum rent filed for bankruptcy protection. Winn-Dixie has closed two of our 16 Winn-Dixie stores in connection with their restructuring activities. The two affected stores provide for approximately $595,000 in annualized minimum rent. If they elect to close more or all of their other stores at our centers and terminate those leases, it would adversely affect our operating results, including funds from operations and cash flows. In addition, we own approximately $14.1 million original principal amount of Winn-Dixie’s 8.875% senior notes.
 
On October 11, 2005, the Company announced that it sent a letter in accordance with Dutch securities laws to the management board and supervisory board of DIM Vastgoed N.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“DIM Vastgoed”), explaining that it intended to make an offer for all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of DIM Vastgoed at a price per share of $20.50 in cash, with no dividends payable to tendering shareholders. Following the delivery of this letter, on October 13, 2005, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Southeast U.S. Holdings Inc., commenced its offer as described in that letter.

DIM Vastgoed is a closed-end investment company that has been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since October 5, 1999. It owns a portfolio of 17 shopping center properties located in the southeastern United States. As of September 30, 2005, it had outstanding 6.9 million ordinary shares and had total indebtedness of approximately $222.8 million. As of the commencement of the offer and following the issuance by DIM Vastgoed of another 481,000 ordinary shares in October 2005, the Company directly or indirectly owned 629,000 ordinary shares, representing approximately 8.53% of the issued and outstanding share capital of DIM Vastgoed.
 
The period for accepting the offer commenced on October 14, 2005 and will end at 3:00 CET time on November 14, 2005, unless extended by the Company. The offer is subject to certain conditions, including that 70%, as revised, of the shareholders of DIM Vastgoed tender their shares. The Company has reserved the right to waive any and all of the conditions.

28

 
In addition, on October 31, 2005, the Company announced that it had commenced an offer, through its subsidiary Southeast U.S. Holdings Inc., for all depositary receipts issued by DIM East B.V.s, DIM West B.V.s and DIM North B.V.s. These depositary receipts represent indirect investments in DIM Vastgoed shares and provide the holders of the depositary receipts with a tax advantaged structure through which they can invest in DIM Vastgoed. The Company is offering to purchase the depositary receipts for $20.50 in cash, with no dividends payable to tendering holders, multiplied by the number of ordinary DIM Vastgoed shares underlying such depositary receipts. The depository receipt offer runs contemporaneously with the Company’s public offer for all shares of DIM Vastgoed and ends on November 9, 2005, unless extended by the Company. Each holder of depositary receipts may choose to either (i) tender his depositary receipts against payment of the offer price on or about November 23, 2005, or (ii) tender his depositary receipts on or before September 1, 2007 against payment of the offer price in September 2007 (thereby continuing to benefit from the tax participation structures until then).
 
Results of Operations
 
Our consolidated results of operations are not necessarily comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, developments and redevelopments. A large portion of the change in our statement of operations is related to these changes in our portfolio. The financial results from continuing operations exclude 32 properties that are held for sale as of September 30, 2005 representing our Texas properties, as well as, other properties which were sold during 2005 and prior to that time. 
 
The following summarizes items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations which we think are important in understanding our operations and/or those items which have significantly changed in 2005 compared to 2004.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
 
Total rental revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 10.6%, to $51.5 million in 2005 from $46.6 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property rental revenue increased by approximately $1.2 million primarily due to higher occupancy and leasing rates at the centers, which increased rental revenue by $764,000, termination fees of $526,000 and higher expense recovery revenue of $143,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased rental revenue by approximately $423,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased rental revenue by approximately $2.9 million; and
 
29

 
·  
The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased rental revenue by approximately $468,000.
 
Property operating expenses increased by $900,000, or 7.2%, to $13.3 million for 2005 from $12.4 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property operating expenses increased by approximately $411,000 due to an increase in property maintenance and management expenses;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased property operating expenses by approximately $139,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased operating expenses by approximately $187,000; and
 
·  
The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased property operating expenses by approximately $160,000.
 
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $1.4 million, or 19.1%, to $8.8 million for 2005 from $7.4 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $493,000 due to depreciation on tenant improvements and leasing commission amortization;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $82,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $740,000; and
 
·  
The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $113,000.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $500,000, or 13.8%, to $4.2 million for 2005 from $3.7 million in 2004. Included in this increase were $238,000 of compensation and employment related expenses due to additional staffing related to our growth, $46,000 related to computer software and license expenses and $70,000 of depreciation expense related to additional furniture and fixture purchases.
 
Interest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 21.0%, to $13.0 million for 2005 from $10.7 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
An increase of $1.8 million attributable to higher outstanding principal balances on our line of credit, resulting from the payoff of $26.7 million of mortgage notes, 2004 and 2005 acquisitions and development activities;
 
·  
An increase of $334,000 attributable to the assumption of mortgage debt related to the acquisition of properties during 2004;
 
·  
A decrease of $471,000 primarily related to the payoff of several mortgage notes;
 
·  
An increase of $884,000 in interest expense attributable to an increase in the variable interest rate swap on $100.0 million of our unsecured senior notes; and
 
 
30

 
·  
A decrease of $200,000 of interest expense attributable to an increase in capitalized interest relating to various development and redevelopment projects.
 
Investment income increased by $4.4 million in 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to the sale of securities of Cedar Shopping Centers Inc.
 
We sold two income producing properties in the third quarter of 2005 and had 32 properties held for sale as of September 30, 2005. The associated operating results of $4.4 million for these properties are reflected as income from rental properties sold or held for sale. The 2004 discontinued operations reflect a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2004 and 2005 and properties held for sale at September 30, 2005. We recognized a gain of $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2005 related to the disposal of these two properties and a gain of $12.2 million related to nine properties that were sold during the third quarter of 2004.
 
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $2.7 million, or 8.7%, to $28.0 million for 2005 from $30.7 million in 2004.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004
 
Total rental revenue increased by $20.7 million, or 15.3%, to $155.9 million in 2005 from $135.2 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property rental revenue increased by approximately $8.0 million primarily due to higher occupancy and leasing rates at the centers, which increased rental revenue by $2.7 million, termination fees of $3.0 million and higher expense;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased rental revenue by approximately $574,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased rental revenue by approximately $10.6 million; and
 
·  
The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased rental revenue by approximately $1.5 million.
 
Property operating expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 9.4%, to $38.4 million for 2005 from $35.1 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property operating expenses increased by approximately $2.0 million due to an increase in property maintenance and management expenses resulting from higher occupancy;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased operating expenses by approximately $153,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased operating expenses by approximately $912,000; and
 
·  
The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased property operating expenses by approximately $216,000.
 
 
31

 
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $4.7 million, or 22.2%, to $25.9 million for 2005 from $21.2 million in 2004. The following factors contributed to this difference:
 
·  
Same property depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $471,000 due to depreciation on tenant improvements and leasing commission amortization;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2005 increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $135,000;
 
·  
Properties acquired during 2004 increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $3.7 million; and
 
·  
Completed developments and redevelopments increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $349,000.
 
Interest expense increased by $5.2 million, or 16.9%, to $35.6 million for 2005 from $30.4 million in 2004. This difference was primarily due to:
 
·  
An increase of $3.0 million attributable to a higher outstanding principal balances on our line of credit, resulting from the payoff of $26.7 million of mortgage notes, 2004 and 2005 acquisitions and development activities;
 
·  
An increase of $2.2 million in interest expense attributable to an increase in the variable interest rate swap on $100.0 million of our unsecured senior notes;
 
·  
An increase of $1.2 million attributable to the assumption of mortgage debt related to the acquisition of properties during 2004;
 
·  
A decrease of $1.1 million primarily related to the payoff of various mortgage notes;
 
·  
An increase of $91,000 of interest expense related to a decrease in capitalized interest attributable to development activity.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 17.9%, to $12.9 million for 2005 from $10.9 million in 2004. Compensation and employer related expenses increased by $803,000, including $274,000 of deferred compensation expense associated with the issuance of restricted stock that vests over time and $529,000 of compensation and related expenses due to additional staffing related to our growth, $69,000 of additional director fees due to our addition of two new members to our board of directors, $227,000 in office expenses related to our new corporate office, $97,000 related to our computer software conversion, $160,000 of depreciation related to the additional furniture and fixture purchases and professional fees of $249,000 due to costs incurred related to compliance with expanded regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and a write-off of $114,000 of pre-acquisition due diligence costs related to transactions that did not materialize.
 
Investment income increased by $5.9 million for 2005 as compared to 2004, primarily due to the sale of securities of Cedar Shopping Centers Inc.
 
We sold four income producing properties in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and had 32 properties held for sale as of September 30, 2005. The associated operating results of $13.8 million for these properties are reflected as income from rental properties sold or held for sale. The 2004 discontinued operations reflect a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2004 and 2005 and properties held for sale at September 30, 2005. We recognized a gain of $11.5 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 related to the disposal of these four properties and a gain of $13.8 million related to 11 properties that were sold during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.
 
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $5.5 million, or 7.9%, to $75.0 million for 2005 from $69.5 million in 2004.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
 
We believe Funds from Operations (“FFO”) (combined with the primary GAAP presentations) is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry and, in particular, REITs. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations, “Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.”
 
FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” Its states further that “adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.” We believe that financial analysts, investors and stockholders are better served by the clearer presentation of comparable period operating results generated from our FFO measure. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

CASH FLOWS
 
Net cash provided by operations was $98.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which included: (i) net income of $75.0 million, (ii) adjustments for non-cash and gain on sale items which increased cash flow by $14.0 million, and (iii) a net change in operating assets and operating liabilities that increased cash flow by $9.0 million, compared to net cash provided by operations of $83.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which included (i) net income of $69.5 million, (ii) adjustments for non-cash and gain on sale items which increased cash flow by $12.3 million, and (iii) a net change in operating liabilities over operating assets that increased cash flow by $1.4 million.
 
Net cash used in investing activities of $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included: (i) the acquisition of two shopping centers, one office building and three parcels of land held for future development of $47.9 million, (ii) construction, development and other capital improvements of $22.3 million, (iii) increases in leasing costs of $4.5 million, (iv) the purchase of securities for $25.0 million, (v) an increase in cash held in escrow of $3.3 million, and (vi) the increase in notes receivable of $4.2 million; offset by (a) proceeds from the sale of properties of $44.0 million, and (b) proceeds from the sale of securities of $34.9 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our principal demands for liquidity are maintenance expenditures, repairs, property taxes and tenant improvements relating to rental properties; leasing costs; acquisition and development activities; debt service and repayment obligations and distributions to our stockholders. The principal sources of funding for our operations are operating cash flows; the issuance of equity and debt securities; the placement of mortgage loans and periodic borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

The weighted average interest rate of the mortgage notes payable at September 30, 2005 was 7.2%, excluding the effects of the premium adjustment.
 
Each of the existing mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of the properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $104.1 million contain prohibitions on transfers of ownership which may have been violated by our previous issuances of common stock or in connection with past acquisitions and may be violated by transactions involving our capital stock in the future. If a violation were established, it could serve as a basis for a lender to accelerate amounts due under the affected mortgage. To date, no lender has notified us that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. If the mortgage holders declare defaults under the mortgage documents, we will, if required, prepay the remaining mortgage from existing resources, refinancing of such mortgages, borrowings under our lines of credit or other sources of financing. Based on discussions with various lenders, current credit market conditions and other factors, we believe that the mortgages will not be accelerated. Accordingly, we believe that the violations of these prohibitions will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On September 20, 2005, we completed a $120 million offering of senior unsecured notes that mature on October 15, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). The 2015 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.375% per annum. Interest is due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on April 15, 2006. The 2015 Notes were issued at a discount of $614,000 that will be amortized against interest expense over the life of the 2015 Notes.
 
The indentures under which the 2015 Notes and the other unsecured senior notes were issued have several covenants which limit our ability to incur debt, require us to maintain an unencumbered assets ratio above a specified level and limit our ability to consolidate, sell, lease, or convey substantially all of our assets to, or merge with any other entity. These notes have also been guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries.
 
The interest rate on the 7.77% senior notes is subject to a 50 basis point increase if we do not maintain an investment grade debt rating.
 
We swapped $100.0 million of the $200.0 million senior notes to a floating interest rate based on the 6-month LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%. The weighted average interest rate of the unsecured senior notes at September 30, 2005 was 5.4%, excluding the effects of the interest rate swap and premium adjustment.

We have a $340.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the sole lead arranger and administrative agent. This facility bears interest at our option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.65% to 1.35%, depending on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long term notes or (ii) at the greater of (x) Wells Fargo’s prime rate and (y) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%. The facility is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Based on our current rating, the LIBOR spread is 1.0%. The facility also includes a competitive bid option which allows us to conduct auctions among the participating banks for borrowings in an amount not to exceed $170.0 million, a $35.0 million swing line facility for short term borrowings, a $20.0 million letter of credit commitment and, at our request, it may be increased up to a total commitment of $400.0 million. The facility expires February 12, 2006 with a one year extension option. In addition, the facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, interest coverage, EBITDA levels, unencumbered properties, permitted investments and others. The facility also prohibits stockholder distributions in excess of 95% of funds from operations calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending. Notwithstanding this limitation, we can make stockholder distributions to avoid income taxes on asset sales. If a default under the facility exists, our ability to pay dividends would be limited to the amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT unless the default is a payment default or bankruptcy event in which case we would be prohibited from paying any dividends. As of September 30, 2005, we had $39.0 million outstanding on this credit facility. The weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2005 was 4.15%.

We also have a $5.0 million unsecured credit facility with City National Bank of Florida. As of September 30, 2005, there was no outstanding principal balance under this facility. This facility also provides collateral for $1.3 million in outstanding letters of credit.
 
As of September 30, 2005, the availability under these credit facilities was approximately $125.1 million, net of outstanding balances and letters of credit.

Our debt level could subject us to various risks, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that the resulting reduced financial flexibility could inhibit our ability to develop or improve our rental properties, withstand downturns in our rental income or take advantage of business opportunities. In addition, because we currently anticipate that only a small portion of the principal of our indebtedness will be repaid prior to maturity, it is expected that it will be necessary to refinance the majority of our debt. Accordingly, there is a risk that such indebtedness will not be able to be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our current indebtedness.
 
Developments and Redevelopments. As of September 30, 2005, we have development and redevelopment projects underway or in the planning stages totaling approximately $103.3 million of asset value, and, based on current plans and estimates, requiring approximately $37.6 million of additional capital to complete beyond the $65.7 million already invested. We expect to fund the necessary costs from working capital and availability under our revolving credit facilities. These include:
 
·  
Shops at Skylake in North Miami Beach, Florida, where we are in the process of adding 33,000 square feet of anchor space;
 
37

 
·  
The development of two supermarket-anchored shopping centers in McDonough, Georgia and Huntsville, Alabama on parcels of land that we currently own; and
 
·  
The development of a 155 acre mixed use project encompassing a combination of retail, office and residential uses in Pasco County north of Tampa, Florida.
 
Equity. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, we issued 442,188 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $22.67 to $23.27 per share and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 we issued 1.1 million shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $20.71 to $23.27 per share pursuant to our Divided Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. As of September 30, 2005, we have 5.9 million shares remaining for sale under that plan.
 
Future Capital Requirements. We believe, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that our existing financial arrangements, together with cash generated from our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for a period of at least twelve months. In the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or cash flows from operations or amounts available under existing financing arrangements prove to be insufficient to fund our expansion and development efforts or to the extent that we discover suitable acquisition targets the purchase price of which exceeds our existing liquidity, we would be required to seek additional sources of financing. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, and any future equity financing could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, our business operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Distributions. We believe that we qualify and intend to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While we intend to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, we also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as we consider necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of our real estate and other corporate purposes, while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT.
 
INFLATION
 
Many of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us 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 our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
 
Our financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which our 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 to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect our 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 our experience, generally maintain more consistent sales performance during periods of adverse economic conditions.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” for purposes of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance.
 
38

 
All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “might,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “forecast,” “target,” “plan,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other variations or comparable terminology, are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Because these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
 
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
 
·  
general economic conditions, competition and the supply of and demand for shopping center properties in our markets;
 
·  
management’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the properties and operations of separate companies that we have acquired in the past or may acquire in the future;
 
·  
interest rate levels and the availability of financing;
 
·  
potential environmental liability and other risks associated with the ownership, development and acquisition of shopping center properties;
 
·  
risks that tenants will not take or remain in occupancy or pay rent;
 
·  
greater than anticipated construction or operating costs;
 
·  
inflationary and other general economic trends;
 
·  
the effects of hurricanes and other natural disasters; and
 
·  
other risks detailed from time to time in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
Interest Rate Risk. The primary market risk to which we have exposure is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect our net income and cash flows. As changes in market conditions occur and interest rates increase or decrease, interest expense on the variable component of our debt will move in the same direction. We intend to utilize variable rate indebtedness available under our unsecured revolving credit facilities in order to initially fund future acquisitions, development costs and for other operating needs. With respect to our fixed rate mortgage notes and fixed rate senior unsecured notes, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the Company's interest expense as these notes are predominantly at fixed-rates for extended terms. Because we have the intent to hold our existing fixed rate notes either to maturity or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes do not pose an interest rate risk to our results of operations or our working capital position, only upon the refinancing of that mortgage. Our possible risk is from increases in long-term interest rates that may occur over a period of several years, as this may decrease the overall value of its real estate.
 
39

 
As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately $139.0 million of outstanding floating rate debt, including $100.0 million of fixed rate borrowings that we have converted to floating rate borrowings through the use of hedging agreements. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt is material as of September 30, 2005, in relation to our $954.1 million of outstanding debt, $2.0 billion of total assets and $1.8 billion total equity market capitalization as of that date.
 
If interest rates on our variable rate debt increase by 1%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.4 million. If interest rates on our variable rate debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.4 million. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt remains at approximately $139.0 million (including the $100 million of fixed rate debt converted to floating rate debt through the use of hedging agreements), the balance as of September 30, 2005.
 
The fair value of our fixed rate debt is $826.3 million, which includes the mortgage notes and fixed rate portion of senior unsecured notes payable (excluding the unamortized premium). If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed rate debt would decrease by approximately $43.9 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $33.0 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed rate debt remains at $819.5 million, the balance as of September 30, 2005.
 
Hedging. To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We require that the hedges or derivative financial instruments be effective in managing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as such at the inception of the contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, resulting in some ineffectiveness, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be included in earnings. Additionally, any derivative instrument used for risk management that becomes ineffective is marked-to-market each period and would be charged to operations.
 
We are exposed to credit risk, in the event of non-performance by the counter-parties to the hedge agreements. We believe that we mitigate our credit risk by entering into these agreements with major financial institutions. Net interest differentials to be paid or received under a swap contract and/or collar agreement are included in interest expense as incurred or earned.
 
During 2004, we entered into a $100.0 million notional principal variable rate interest swap with an estimated fair value of $4.5 million as of September 30, 2005. This swap converted fixed rate debt to variable rate based on the 6 month LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%, and matures April 15, 2009.
 
The estimated fair value of our derivative financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
 
Other Market Risks. As of September 30, 2005, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
