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 neighborhood and community shopping centers anchored by leading supermarkets, drug stores or discount retail store chains. As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 184 properties, including 170 shopping centers consisting of approximately 19.2 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), three development or redevelopment properties, six non-retail properties and five parcels of land held for development. As of March 31, 2010, our core portfolio, consisting of our shopping centers, was 90.3% leased and included national, regional and local tenants.

We currently own a 10% interest in GRI-EQY I, LLC (“GRI Venture”), which owns ten neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA. The portfolio owned by the GRI Venture was 94.0% leased as of March 31, 2010. Additionally, we own a 20% interest in G&I VI Investment South Florida Portfolio, LLC (“DRA Venture”) which owns one office building and two neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 503,000 square feet of GLA. The portfolio owned by the DRA Venture was 68.1% leased as of March 31, 2010. Lastly, in February 2010, we acquired an 8.1% interest in Madison 2260 Realty, LLC (“Madison Venture”). The Madison Venture owns a retail property which consists of approximately 8,000 square feet of GLA and was 100% leased as of March 31, 2010.

In addition, we have a controlling interest in DIM Vastgoed, N.V. (“DIM”), which was acquired in the first quarter of 2009. DIM is a public company, the shares of which are listed on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2009, our stake included voting control over 74.6% of DIM’s ordinary shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we increased our ownership of DIM to 93.0%. Subsequent to quarter end, we acquired additional shares of DIM, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 95.5%. The results of DIM’s operations have been consolidated in our financial statements since January 14, 2009, the acquisition date of our controlling interest. A complete description of our interest in DIM, including our acquisition of additional ordinary shares following the end of the quart er is contained in Note 7 below.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DIM, and those other entities where we have a controlling financial interest. Equity One, Inc. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated companies”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or similar terms. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The provisions of the Consolidations Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “FASB ASC”) are being applied prospectively, except for the provisions related to the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling interests, which have been applied retrospectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a result of their redemption features.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited.  In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2010.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Construction in Progress and Land Held for Development

Our method of calculating capitalized interest is based upon applying our weighted-average borrowing rate to that portion of actual costs incurred. Total interest expense capitalized to construction in progress and land held for development was approximately $520,000 and $315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Business Combinations

We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to land, building, improvements and intangible assets in accordance with the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC. We allocate the initial purchase price of assets acquired (net tangible and identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. There are four categories of intangible assets to be considered:  (1) in-place leases; (2) above and below-market value of in-place leases; (3) lease origination costs and (4) customer relationships. The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above.  The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to depreciation expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases.  The value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable periods. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.

The results of operations of acquired properties are included in our financial statements as of the dates they are acquired.  The intangible assets and liabilities associated with property acquisitions are included in other assets and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We analyze our joint ventures under the FASB ASC Topics of Consolidation and Real Estate-General in order to determine whether the entity should be consolidated. If it is determined that these investments do not require consolidation because the entities are not variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, we do not have voting control, and/or the limited partners (or non-managing members) have substantive participatory rights, then the selection of the accounting method used to account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is generally determined by our voting interests and the degree of influence we have over the entity.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures when we own more than 20% but less than 50% of the voting interests and have significant influence but do not have a controlling financial interest, or if we own less than 20% of the voting interests but have determined that we have significant influence. Under the equity method, our proportionate share of earnings or losses earned by the joint venture is recognized in equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators, including underlying property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment in a joint venture is considered impaired only if our estimate of the discounted present value of the distributions that the venture will provide to us over its projected life is less than the net carrying value of the investment in that joint venture. Cash flow projections for the investments consider property level factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors.  If our analysis indicates that there is an other-than-temporary impairment related to the investment in a particular j oint venture, the carrying value of the property will be adjusted to an amount to reflect the estimated fair value of the investment.

Long-lived Assets

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC. There was no impairment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed to tenants and accrued expense recoveries due from tenants. We evaluate the probability of collection for these receivables and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect amounts estimated to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $5.4 million and $4.5 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Securities

Our investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices. Changes in the fair value of the securities investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, except other-than-temporary decreases in fair value, which are recognized immediately as a charge to earnings. We evaluate our investments in available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines each reporting period in accordance with the Investments-Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC. We performed this impairment review with respect to our investments as of March 31, 2010 and identified no securities that had fair values that were less than our cost basis.

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had approximately $834,000 and $820,000, respectively, invested in equity securities classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains on these securities were $359,000 and $345,000 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Goodwill

We are required to perform annual, or more frequently in certain circumstances, impairment tests of our goodwill. We did not recognize any goodwill impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled approximately $11.5 million at March 31, 2010.  Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our tenant base, or a materially negative change in our relationships with significant tenants.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue includes minimum rents, expense recoveries, percentage rental payments and management and leasing services. Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. As part of the leasing process, we may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event we are not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction to revenue. Factors considered during thi s evaluation include, among others, the type of improvements made, who holds legal title to the improvements, and other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement. Lease revenue recognition commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space and there are no contingencies offsetting the lessee’s obligation to pay rent.

Many of the lease agreements contain provisions that require the payment of additional rents based on the respective tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent) and substantially all contain provisions that require reimbursement of the tenants’ allocable real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs, or CAM. Revenue based on a percentage of a tenant’s sales is recognized only after the tenant exceeds its sales breakpoint. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, CAM and insurance is recognized in the period that the applicable costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreements.

Earnings Per Share

In June 2008, the FASB issued new provisions under the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC which clarify that unvested share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends, such as our restricted stock awards, are considered “participating securities.” As participating securities, our shares of restricted stock will be included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the awards are considered participating securities under provisions of the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to commo n shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are allocated between common shareholders and other security holders, based on their respective rights to receive dividends.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1995. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we currently distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Also, at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. The difference between net income available to common stockholders for financial reporting purposes and taxable income before dividend deductions relates primarily to temporary differences, such as real estate depreciation and amortization, deduction of deferred compensation, and deferral of gains on sold properties utilizing like kind exchanges.  It is our intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income.

We are subject to federal, state and local income tax laws to the extent of the activities conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). We recorded an income tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $1.1 million and $639,000, respectively. These benefits are primarily attributable to the net operating losses generated by DIM. Although DIM is organized under the laws of the Netherlands, it pays U.S. corporate tax based on its operations in the United States. In 2009, DIM did not pay any U.S. income tax, which reflected the benefit of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) in previous years. As of March 31, 2010, DIM had NOLs of approximately $16.7 million remaining.

We believe that we have appropriate support for the tax positions taken on our tax returns and that our accruals for income tax liabilities are adequate for all years still subject to tax audits after 2006.

Restricted stock and option expense includes amounts for which vesting was accelerated under separation agreements. Discounts offered to participants under our 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan represent the difference between market value of our stock on the purchase date and purchase price of shares as provided under the plan. A portion of share-based compensation cost is capitalized as part of property-related assets.

Segment Information

We invest in retail shopping centers through direct ownership or through joint ventures. It is our intent that all retail shopping centers will be owned or developed for investment purposes; however, we may decide to sell all or a portion of a development upon completion. Our revenue and net income are generated from the operation of our investment portfolio. We also earn fees from third parties for services provided to manage and lease retail shopping centers owned through joint ventures or by third parties.

Our portfolio is primarily located throughout the southeastern United States; however, we do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenue, net income or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance. In addition, none of the shopping centers is located outside the United States.

Concentration of Credit Risk

A concentration of credit risk arises in our business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by us. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rental payments to us, exposing us to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent. Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations. Generally, we do not obtain security from our national or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. As of March 31, 2010, Publix Super Markets accounted for approximately 11%, or approximately $23.3 million , of our aggregate annualized minimum rent. No other tenant accounted for over 5% of our annualized minimum rent.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued new provisions required by the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, which removed the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“SPE”) and the exception for qualifying SPEs from the consolidation guidance. Furthermore, the new provisions replaced the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact that entity’s economic performance. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we reviewed all joint ventures in which we have an investment to determine if there were any accounting ramifications of our adoption of thes e provisions and found that they had no material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Significant Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Gateway Plaza at Aventura

On March 19, 2010, we acquired Gateway Plaza at Aventura, a 29,800 square foot shopping center located in Aventura, Florida, and anchored by Babies “R” Us, for approximately $8.0 million. The purchase was funded by available cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized approximately $149,000 of acquistion-related costs in connection with this purchase.

Other Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we acquired two outparcels for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $1.3 million.

4. Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of March 31, 2010, our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, which is presented net of a deferred gain of approximately $2.9 million associated with the disposition of assets to our GRI venture, was $11.0 million which was composed of $7.1 million related to the GRI Venture, $2.9 million related to the DRA Venture and $1.0 million related to the Madison Venture. In accordance with applicable guidance for investments in limited partnerships and real estate ventures, we have accounted for this investment using the equity method. Additionally, as of March 31, 2010, we had made advances of $285,000 to our joint ventures.

Equity in losses from joint ventures totaled approximately $40,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Fees paid to us associated with these joint ventures totaled approximately $301,000 and $396,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 5. Borrowings

In connection with our acquisition of Copps Hill Plaza, we assumed a mortgage with a principal balance of approximately $19.8 million. The mortgage matures on January 1, 2029 with payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule at a fixed interest rate of 6.06%.

The following table provides a summary of mortgages repaid during the three months ended March 31, 2010:

The indentures under which our unsecured senior notes were issued have several covenants which limit our ability to incur debt, require us to maintain an unencumbered asset 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 many of our subsidiaries.

The weighted-average interest rate of our unsecured senior notes at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 6.13% and 6.10%, respectively, net of the premium adjustment.

We have a total committed unsecured revolving credit facility of $272.0 million with a syndicate of banks. The facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt limits, total liabilities, interest coverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratios, unencumbered properties and permitted investments which may limit the amount available under the facility. 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. Additionally, we have a $15.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with City National Bank of Florida. As of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, we had no outstanding balance drawn a gainst the credit facilities. The maximum availability under these credit facilities was approximately $193.4 million as of March 31, 2010, which is net of outstanding letters of credit of $7.1 million and subject to the covenants in the loan agreements.

7. Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity that we do not own in those entities that we consolidate. We account for and report our noncontrolling interest in accordance with the provisions under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC.

We are involved in the following investment activities in which we have a controlling interest:

On January 1, 1999, Equity One (Walden Woods) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, formed a limited partnership as a general partner. Walden Woods Village, an income producing shopping center, was contributed by its owners (the “Minority Partners”), and we contributed 93,656 shares of our common stock to the limited partnership at an agreed-upon price of $10.30 per share.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Minority Partners do not share in any earnings of the partnership, except to the extent of dividends received by the partnership for the shares originally contributed by us. Based on the per-share price and the net value of property contributed by the Minority Partners, the limited partners received 93,656 partnership units.  We have entered into a redemption agreement with the Minority Pa rtners whereby the Minority Partners can request that we purchase their partnership units at a price of $10.30 per unit at any time before January 1, 2014. In accordance with the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Topic of the FASB ASC, the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of  $989,000 is presented in the mezzanine section of our balance sheet, separate from permanent equity, until the earlier of January 1, 2014 or upon election by the Minority Partners to redeem their partnership units. We have also entered into a conversion agreement with the Minority Partners pursuant to which, following notice, the Minority Partners can convert their partnership units into our common stock. The Minority Partners have not exercised their redemption or conversion rights, and their minority interest remains valued at $989,000.

We have controlling interests in two joint ventures that, together, own our Sunlake development project. We have funded all of the acquisition costs, are required to fund any necessary development and operating costs, receive an 8% preferred return on our advances, have reimbursement rights of all capital outlays upon disposition of the property, and are entitled to 60% of the profits thereafter. The minority partners are not required to make contributions and, to date, have not contributed any capital. Noncontrolling interest will not be recorded until the equity in the property surpasses our capital expenditures and cumulative preferred return.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we acquired a controlling interest in DIM. This acquisition required us to consolidate DIM’s results as of the January 14, 2009 acquisition date. Upon consolidation, we recorded $25.8 million of noncontrolling interest which represented the fair value of the portion of DIM’s equity that we did not own upon acquisition. Subsequent changes to the noncontrolling interest in stockholders’ equity result from the allocation of losses, and additional shares purchased subsequent to January 14, 2009.

On February 18, 2010, we launched a cash tender offer for all of DIM’s remaining outstanding ordinary shares at an offer price of $7.30 per ordinary share.  We declared the offer unconditional on March 25, 2010 followed by a post-acceptance period that ended on April 9, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we were able to increase our ownership of DIM as a result of the tender offer and other purchases. We also issued 536,601 shares of our common stock in exchange for 766,573 DIM ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2010, we owned approximately 93.0% of DIM’s ordinary shares outstanding. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we acquired additional shares of DIM, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 95.5%.

The following table shows the effects on our equity resulting from the changes in our ownership interest in DIM for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Three Months Ended

8. Share-Based Payment Plans

As of March 31, 2010, we have options outstanding under our 2000 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of options, restricted stock and other share-based awards for up to 8.5 million shares of common stock, of which 2.5 million shares are available for issuance. In addition, in connection with the initial employment of Jeffrey S. Olson, our Chief Executive Officer, we issued Mr. Olson options to purchase 364,660 shares of common stock.

The term of each award, including vesting, is determined by our compensation committee, in its sole discretion, on the date of grant, subject to limitations contained in the 2000 Plan. Dividends are paid on shares of non-vested restricted stock, which makes the restricted stock a participating security under the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. Certain options, restricted stock and other share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the 2000 Plan.

The fair value of each option awarded during 2010 and 2009 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Expected volatilities, dividend yields, employee exercises and employee forfeitures are primarily based on historical data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We measure compensation expense for restricted stock awards based on the fair value of our common stock at the date of the grant and charge to expense such amounts ratably over the vesting period. For grants with a graded vesting schedule, we have elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis. The Company used the shortcut method described in the Share Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC for determining the expected life used in the va luation method.

The following table presents stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2010:

	Shares Under Option		Weighted- Average Exercise Price

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we granted 27,800 shares of restricted stock that are subject to forfeiture and vest over periods from two to three years. The total vesting-date value of the 37,174 shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $684,481.

As of March 31, 2010, we had $7.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested and restricted share-based payment arrangements (unvested options and restricted shares) granted under our plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

9. Equity

In March 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement of approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock at a price to the public and in the private placement of $18.40 per share. In the concurrent private placement, an aggregate of 600,000 shares were purchased by MGN America, LLC and Silver Maple (2001), Inc., affiliates of our largest stockholder, Gazit-Globe, Ltd., which may be deemed to be controlled by Chaim Katzman, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. The offerings generated net proceeds to us of approximately $98.9 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we were able to reduce the amount of noncontrolling interest in equity in DIM through our tender offer, and other purchases. We also issued 536,601 shares of our common stock in exchange for 766,573 DIM ordinary shares. As of March 31, 2010, we owned approximately 93.0% of DIM’s outstanding ordinary shares. Subsequent to quarter end, we acquired additional shares of DIM, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 95.5%.

10. Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued provisions under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC. The provisions established a framework for measuring fair value, which included a hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and provided specific disclosure requirements based on the hierarchy.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC requires the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

● Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

● Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

● Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010:

	Fair Value Measurements
	(In thousands)
Description	Level 1		Level 2
Available-for-sale-securities	$	834	$	—
Long term incentive plan		—		793
Total	$	834	$	793

Valuation Methods

Available for Sale Securities.  The fair value was estimated based on the closing market price of the securities.

Long term incentive plan.We have a long-term incentive plan for four of our executives based on our total shareholder return versus returns for six of our peer companies. The fair value of this plan is determined using the average trial-specific value of the awards eligible for grant under the plan based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model considers various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices as well as projected future market prices for our common stock as well as common stock of our peer companies over the performance period.  Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throu ghout the full term of the plan, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by us using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is 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 and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We have used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accounts and Other Receivables. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

Notes Receivable. The fair value is estimated by using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value.

Mortgage Notes Payable. The fair value estimated at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $541.7 million and $561.6 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loans using estimated market rates for similar mortgage loans and remaining terms. The carrying amount of these notes was approximately $514.3 million and $528.9 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Unsecured Senior Notes Payable. The fair value estimated at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $688.6 million and $642.0 million, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the terms of the notes using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The carrying amount of these notes was approximately $688.1 million and $688.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The fair market value calculation of our debt, for the period ended March 31, 2010, includes assumptions as to the effects that prevailing market conditions would have on existing secured or unsecured debt. The calculation uses a market rate spread over the risk free interest rate. This spread is determined by using the weighted average life to maturity coupled with loan-to-value considerations of the respective debt. Once determined, this market rate is used to discount the remaining debt service payments in an attempt to reflect the present value of this stream of cash flows. While the determination of the appropriate market rate is subjective in nature, recent market data gathered suggest that the composite rates used for mortgages and senior notes are consistent with current market trends.

12. Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations.  The operation of dry cleaning and gas station facilities at our shopping centers are the principal environmental concerns. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor their operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs.  Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation; however, we have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties which limits our exposure to some of these conditions. We currently have one significant environmental remediation liability on our balance sheet related to our Westbury land acquisition. The capitalized cost associated with this acquisition comprised the purchase price and a preliminary estimate of the cost of environmental remediation for the site of $5.9 million, which was based on a range provided by third party environmental consultants. This range varied from $5.9 million to $8.4 million on an undiscounted basis, with no amount being more likely than any other at the time the study was performed. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2010, we had pledged letters of credit totaling $7.1 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.

We have committed to fund approximately $1.4 million, based on current plans and estimates, to complete pending development and redevelopment projects. These obligations, comprised principally of construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by the funds available under our credit facilities and available cash.

Certain of our properties are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $69,000. We have operating lease agreements for office space in which we have an annual obligation of approximately $360,000. Additionally, we have lease agreements for equipment rentals which have annual obligations of $97,000.

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business. However, we do not believe that any of the litigation outstanding as of March 31, 2010 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

15. Subsequent Events

Pursuant to the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC, we have reviewed all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after our March 31, 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date through the time of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

On April 9, 2010, upon expiration of the post-acceptance period following the completion of our tender offer for ordinary shares of DIM, we acquired 205,395 additional DIM ordinary shares at an offer price of $7.30, increasing our ownership to approximately 95.5%.

On April 15, 2010, we acquired Veranda Shoppes, a 44,888 square foot shopping center, located in Plantation, Florida, for approximately $11.7 million. The purchase was funded by available cash.

On May 5, 2010, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended, to increase the number of shares of stock which we are authorized to issue from 110,000,000 to 160,000,000 shares and increase our authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares.  No change was made to our authorized preferred stock.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2010.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we”, “our”, “us”, and “Equity One” in this report refer collectively to Equity One, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Executive Overview

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops neighborhood and community shopping centers.  Our principal business objective is to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable cash flow growth and increasing the long-term value of our real estate assets.  To achieve our objective, we lease and manage our shopping centers primarily with experienced, in-house personnel.  We acquire neighborhood or community shopping centers that either have leading anchor tenants or contain a mix of tenants that reflect the shopping needs of the communities they serve.  We also develop and redevelop shopping centers on a tenant-driven basis, leveraging either existing tenant relationships or geographic and demographic knowledge while seeking to minimi ze risks associated with land development. 

Our Portfolio.  As of March 31, 2010, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 184 properties, including 170 shopping centers consisting of approximately 19.2 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, three development/redevelopment properties, six non-retail properties, and five land parcels held for development. As of March 31, 2010, our core portfolio was 90.3% leased and included national, regional and local tenants.

We currently own a 10% interest in GRI-EQY I, LLC (“GRI Venture”), which owns ten neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA. The portfolio owned by the GRI Venture was 94.0% leased as of March 31, 2010. Additionally, we own a 20% interest in G&I VI Investment South Florida Portfolio, LLC (“DRA Venture”) which owns one office building and two neighborhood shopping centers totaling approximately 503,000 square feet of GLA. The portfolio owned by the DRA Venture was 68.1% leased as of March 31, 2010. Lastly, in February 2010, we acquired an 8.1% interest in Madison 2260 Realty, LLC (“Madison Venture”). The Madison Venture owns a retail property which consists of approximately 8,000 square feet of GLA and was 100% leased as of March 31, 2010.

In addition, we have a controlling interest in DIM Vastgoed, N.V. (“DIM”), which we acquired in the first quarter of 2009. DIM is a public company, the shares of which are listed on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2009, our stake included voting control over 74.6% of DIM’s ordinary shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we increased our ownership of DIM to 93.0%. The results of DIM’s operations have been consolidated in our financial statements since January 14, 2009, the acquisition date of our controlling interest.

Subsequent to quarter end, we acquired additional shares of DIM, increasing our ownership to approximately 95.5%. In connection with our successful public bid, we intend to terminate DIM’s listing on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange and initiate statutory squeeze-out proceedings to acquire the balance of DIM’s outstanding ordinary shares. A complete description of our interest in DIM is contained in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Outlook and Business Strategy. The current downturn in the economy has continued to affect our business in 2010.  Decreases in retail sales have continued to adversely affect many of our tenants, particularly those tenants that sell goods or provide services that tend to be more discretionary in nature.  As a result, tenants have requested rent adjustments and abatements, while other tenants have not been able to continue in business at all.  We have observed that small shop tenants (those occupying less than 10,000 square feet) have been particularly vulnerable during the current recession as they have faced both declining sales and reduced access to capital. We have responded to these challenges by undertaking intensive leasing efforts, negotiating reductions in certain recoverable expenses from our vendors, and making case-by-case assessments of rent relief based on the financial and operating strength of our tenants.  These macro economic trends have made it more difficult for us to achieve our objectives of growing our business through internal rent increases, re-cycling capital from lower-tiered assets into higher quality properties, and growing our asset management business.

While we have seen an improvement in the capital and credit markets, the persistence of a consumer-led economic slowdown has negatively affected net operating income. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, our same property net operating income declined 3.6% to $37.2 million as compared to $38.6 million for the same period in 2009 while rent spreads for new leases declined 3.4% and renewal leases declined 5.1%.

27

Notwithstanding the difficult operating environment, the execution of our business strategy during the first quarter of 2010 resulted in:

● the sale of approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement which raised net proceeds of approximately $98.9 million;

● the acquisition of approximately 2.3 million ordinary shares of DIM through a tender offer and other purchases bringing our ownership to 93.0% as of March 31, 2010;

● the acquisition of two shopping centers located in Florida and Connecticut representing an aggregate of approximately 214,300 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $41.4 million;

● the repayment of approximately $31.5 million in secured mortgages;

● the acquisition of two undeveloped land parcels at an aggregate cash purchase price of $1.3 million;

● 36 additional new leases totaling 106,424 square feet at an average rental rate of $12.53 per square foot as compared to $12.97 per square foot in 2009, on a same site basis;

●  the renewal of 50 leases totaling 105,792 square feet and the extension of four leases totaling 39,262 square feet; and  

●  no change in occupancy for our core shopping center portfolio, which remained at 90.3% as of March 31, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties.  These revenues include fixed base rents, recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants and percentage rents that are based on specified percentages of tenants’ revenues, in each case as provided in the particular leases.

Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, which include: real estate taxes; repairs and maintenance; management expenses; insurance; utilities; general and administrative expenses, which include payroll, office expenses, professional fees, acquisition costs and other administrative expenses; and interest expense, primarily on mortgage debt, unsecured senior debt and revolving credit facilities.  In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization on our properties.  We also capitalize certain expenses, such as taxes, interest and salaries related to properties under development or redevelopment until the property is ready for its intended use.

Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, developments and redevelopments.  The results of operations of any acquired property are included in our financial statements as of the date of its acquisition. A large portion of the changes in our statement of income line items is related to these changes in our property portfolio.

The following summarizes certain line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income which we believe are important in understanding our operations and/or those items which have significantly changed in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 2009

Total revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 1.7%, to $70.1 million in 2010 from $69.0 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

● an increase of approximately $4.0 million associated with properties acquired in 2009; offset by

● a decrease of approximately $2.6 million in same-property revenue due primarily to lower percentage rent income and lower small shop occupancy which also has the effect of lowering rental expense recoveries; and

● a decrease of approximately $200,000 in leasing and management fee income.

Property operating expenses increased by $924,000, or 4.9%, to $19.8 million in 2010 from $18.9 million in 2009.  The increase primarily consists of the following:

● an increase of approximately $1.3 million associated with properties acquired in 2009; and

● an increase of approximately $100,000 related to various properties and projects which were under construction in 2009 but were income producing in 2010; offset by

● a decrease of approximately $500,000 in property operating costs primarily due to lower common area maintenance costs, and lower real estate tax expense related to tax refunds received in 2010.

Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $1.1 million, or 7.0%, to $16.3 million for 2010 from $15.3 million in 2009.  The increase was primarily related to the following:

● an increase of approximately $1.3 million related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2009; offset by

● a decrease of approximately $230,000 related to accelerated depreciation recognized in 2009 related to tenant vacancies; there were no material tenant vacancies generating accelerated depreciation expense in 2010.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.2 million, or 17.7%, to $10.1 million for 2010 from $12.3 million in 2009.  The decrease in 2010 was primarily related to the following:

● a decrease of approximately $3.3 million related to severance associated with the termination of two senior executives in 2009; offset by

29

● an increase of approximately $1.2 million in higher acquisition and settlement costs related to properties acquired in the first quarter of 2010 as well as higher professional services related to our exploration of potential acquisitions.

Investment income decreased by $1.9 million, or 92.3%, to $159,000 for 2010 from $2.1 million in 2009.  The decrease was primarily related to the following:

● a decrease of $1.5 million of investment income associated with the disposition of certain debt securities in 2009; and

● a decrease of approximately $487,000 in dividends received  following the sale of several equity investments in 2009.

Other income decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 95.0%, in the 2010 period compared to 2009. The decrease primarily resulted from approximately $800,000 in income related to insurance proceeds received in 2009 for tornado damage to a property in South Carolina.

Interest expense increased by $345,000, or 1.8%, to $19.9 million for 2010 from $19.6 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

● an increase of approximately $2.2 million primarily associated with our 6.25% unsecured senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2009; offset by

● a decrease of approximately $205,000 associated with higher capitalized interest related to our development projects; and

● a decrease of approximately $1.6 million of interest expense related to the repayment of certain mortgages in 2009.

The gain on acquisition of controlling interest of approximately $26.9 million recognized in 2009 was generated from our acquisition of a controlling interest in DIM. No comparable acquisitions or amounts are included in the 2010 period.  

In the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased and canceled approximately $30.5 million principal amount of our senior notes and recognized a net gain of early extinguishment on debt of approximately $8.7 million. No comparable amounts are included in the 2010 period.

We recorded a net income tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $1.1 million and $639,000, respectively. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, DIM recognized approximately $893,000 in tax benefits and $175,000 in tax benefits were recognized by our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”). The increase in benefit was attributable to outparcel sales generating a provision in the first quarter of 2009. There were no comparable sales in our TRSs during the same 2010 period. Additionally, DIM generated a larger loss in the current period and, therefore, a larger benefit.

In the first quarter of 2009, we recognized a net gain of $1.5 million from discontinued operations mainly due to the sale of two ground lease outparcels at two of our properties. No comparable amounts are included in the 2010 period.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $38.6 million, or 88.9%, to $4.8 million for the first quarter ended 2010, compared to net income of $43.4 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Funds From Operations

We believe Funds from Operations (“FFO”) (when 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 diminish 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 themselv es”.

FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures”.  It 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 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.

30

FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our operating performance.  FFO (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, (ii) is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions, (iii) is not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, and (iv) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (which is determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.

The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010		2009
	(In thousands)
Net income attributable to Equity One, Inc.	$	5,432	$	43,833
Adjustments:
Rental property depreciation and amortization, including discontinued operations, net of noncontrolling interest		15,046		13,744
Pro rata share of real estate depreciation from unconsolidated joint ventures		309		361
Funds from operations	$	20,787	$	57,938

The following table reflects the reconciliation of FFO per diluted share to earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Three Month Ended
	March 31,

Earnings per diluted share attributable to Equity One, Inc.	$	0.06	$	0.56

Pro rata share of real estate depreciation from unconsolidated joint ventures		—		—
Net adjustment for unvested shares and noncontrolling interest		0.01		0.01
Funds from operations per diluted share	$	0.24	$	0.75

Critical Accounting Policies

Our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, recognition of gains from the sale of real estate, business acquisitions, real estate acquisitions, real estate properties and development assets, long lived assets, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, securities, goodwill, share based compensation and incentive awards, income tax, and discontinued operations.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, there were no material changes to these policies.

31

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to the nature of our business, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations; however, the cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our stockholders in the form of dividends.  Our status as a REIT requires that we distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (including net capital gain) each year, as defined in the Code.  

Short-term liquidity requirements

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring company expenditures, such as general and administrative expenses, non-recurring company expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common stockholders.  We have satisfied these requirements principally through cash generated from operations or from financing and investing activities.

As of March 31, 2010, we had approximately $67.2 million of cash and cash equivalents available. At that date, we had two revolving credit facilities providing for borrowings of up to $287.0 million of which $193.4 million was available to be drawn, subject to covenants contained in those facilities which may otherwise limit borrowings.   

For the remainder of 2010, we have approximately $26.4 million in debt maturities in addition to normal recurring principal payments. Our available cash and credit facility will be used to fund our debt maturities as well as prospective acquisitions and our normal operating expenses. Additionally, we are actively searching for acquisition and joint venture opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity.

Long-term liquidity requirements

Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities of various long-term debts, development and redevelopment costs and the costs related to growing our business, including acquisitions.

Historically, we have funded these requirements through a combination of sources which were available to us, including additional and replacement secured and unsecured borrowings, proceeds from the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, capital from institutional partners that desire to form joint venture relationships with us and proceeds from property dispositions.  

2010 liquidity events

During the first quarter of 2010, we raised new capital from the issuance of equity securities. While the proceeds of this offering together with our availability under our lines of credit are sufficient to operate our business for the remainder of 2010, if we identify acquisition opportunities that meet our investment objectives, we may need to raise additional capital.

While there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital in the amounts or at the prices we desire, we believe we have positioned our balance sheet in a manner that facilitates our capital raising plans. The following is a summary of our financing and investing activities completed during the quarter:

●   In March 2010, we issued and sold approximately 4.8 million shares of our common stock in an underwritten public offering along with a private placement of approximately 600,000 shares of common stock to affiliates of our largest stockholder, Gazit-Globe, Ltd., raising aggregate net proceeds of $98.9 million;

●   We repaid approximately $31.5 million in secured mortgage debt prior to maturity; and

●   We assumed a mortgage with a principal balance of approximately $19.8 million with a fixed interest rate of 6.06%, maturing on January 1, 2029, in connection with the acquistion of Copps Hill Plaza in March 2010.

32

Summary Cash Flows. The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010			2009				Increase (Decrease)
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	15,435		$	21,694		$	(6,259	)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	$	(39,296	)	$	55,452		$	(94,748	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	43,069		$	(81,175	)	$	124,244

Our principal source of operating cash flow is cash generated from our rental properties.  Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of rental income that provides us with resources to fund operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, debt service, and quarterly dividends.  Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to approximately $21.7 million in the 2009 period. The decrease is attributable to lower interest income and an increase in cash used for operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable and other assets, as well as accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $39.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with approximately $55.5 million provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Investing activities during the current period consisted primarily of investments in consolidated subsidiaries and real estate ventures of $11.7 million, acquisitions of operating properties, and additions to investment in rental property, land and construction of $27.1 million.  In the prior year period, cash flow provided from investing activities was primarily related to $72.0 million of proceeds from the sale of securities, offset by additions to investment in rental property, land and construction of $5.6 million and cash used to purchase securities of $10.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $43.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with approximately $81.2 million net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2009. The largest cash inflows for 2010 related to net proceeds of approximately $98.9 million from our equity offering.  This increase was offset in part by cash used in repayments of $35.0 million for certain secured mortgage debt and the payment of $20.3 million in dividends.  In the prior year, cash used was mainly attributable to $21.8 million in repayment of senior debt, $23.1 million in dividend payments, and $26.8 million in repayments on our revolving credit facilities.

Future Contractual Obligations.  The following table sets forth certain information regarding future contractual obligations, excluding interest, as of March 31, 2010:

	Payments due by period

Total contractual obligations	$	1,230,157	$	38,196	$	148,644	$	535,735	$	507,582
(1)  Amounts represent balance of obligation for the remainder of 2010.
(2)  Amounts represent obligations for 2011 and 2012.

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 reduction in 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 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit:  As of March 31, 2010, we have pledged letters of credit for $7.1 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.  Substantially all of our letters of credit are issued under our revolving credit facilities.

Construction Commitments:  As of March 31, 2010, we have entered into construction commitments and have outstanding obligations to fund $1.4 million, based on current plans and estimates, in order to complete current development and redevelopment projects.  These obligations, comprising principally construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by funds available under our credit facilities and available cash.

Operating Lease Obligations:  Certain of our properties are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $69,000. We have operating lease agreements for office space in which we have an annual obligation of approximately $360,000. Additionally, we have lease agreements for equipment rentals which have annual obligations of $97,000.

Non-Recourse Debt Guarantees:  Under the terms of certain non-recourse mortgage loans, we could, under specific circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions, such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds, and material misrepresentations.  In management’s judgment, it would be unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these guarantees that will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other than the obligations described above and items disclosed in the Contractual Obligations Table, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2010 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Equity

In March 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement of approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock at a price to the public and in the private placement of $18.40 per share, which raised approximately $98.9 million in net proceeds. In the concurrent private placement, an aggregate of 600,000 shares were purchased for $11.0 million by MGN America, LLC and Silver Maple (2001), Inc., affiliates of our largest stockholder, Gazit-Globe, Ltd., which may be deemed to be controlled by Chaim Katzman, the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

34

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we reduced the amount of noncontrolling interest in DIM through the acquisition of 1,506,458 DIM shares through the combination of a cash tender offer and open market purchases. We also issued 536,601 of our common shares in exchange for 766,573 DIM shares. On April 9, 2010, upon expiration of the post-acceptance period following the completion of our tender offer for ordinary shares of DIM, we acquired 205,395 additional DIM ordinary shares at an offer price of $7.30, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 95.5%.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning facilities or gas stations at our shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor their operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in our portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. We have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties. We currently have one significant environmental remediation liability on our balance sheet related to our Westbury land acquisition. The capitalized cost associated with this acquisitio n comprised of the purchase price and a preliminary estimate of the cost of environmental remediation for the site of $5.9 million, which was based on a range provided by third party environmental consultants. This range varied from $5.9 million to $8.4 million on an undiscounted basis, with no amount being more likely than any other at the time the study was performed. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.

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, cash on hand and our short-term investments 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 debt maturities, pay our dividends, fund expansion and development efforts or to the extent 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 o r 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. See Part I –Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Distributions

We believe that we currently qualify and intend to continue 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 and Economic Condition Considerations

Most of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate any adverse impact of inflation.  Although inflation has been low in recent periods and has had a minimal impact on the performance of our shopping centers, there is more recent data suggesting that inflation maybe a greater concern in the future given economic conditions and governmental fiscal policy. 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.  A small number of our leases also include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on a tenant’s gross sales above predetermined levels, which sales generally increase as prices rise, or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices.

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.

35

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,” “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 thos e 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, including the current recession, competition and the supply of and demand for shopping center properties in our markets;

●   risks that tenants will not remain in occupancy or pay rent, or pay reduced rent due to declines in their businesses;

●   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;

●   greater than anticipated construction or operating costs;

●   inflationary, deflationary and other general economic trends;

●   the effects of hurricanes and other natural disasters;

●   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;

●   impairment charges; 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 other operating needs.  With respect to our fixed rate mortgage notes and senior unsecured notes, changes in interest rates generally do not affect our interest expense as these notes are at fixed rates for extended terms. Because we have the intent to hold our existing fixed-rate debt either to maturity or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes pose an interest rate risk to our results of operations and our working capital position only upon the refinancing of that indebtedness. Our possible risk is from increases in long-term interest rates that may occur as this may increase our cost of refinancing maturing fixed-rate debt. In addition, we may incur prepayment penalties or defeasance costs when prepaying or defeasing secured debt.

As of March 31, 2010, we had no outstanding floating rate debt.  

The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is $1.23 billion as of March 31, 2010, which includes the mortgage notes and fixed-rate portion of the senior unsecured notes payable.  If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed-rate debt would decrease by approximately $53.7 million.  If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $56.7 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed-rate debt remains at approximately $1.23 billion, the balance as of March 31, 2010.

Hedging Activities

As of March 31, 2010, we had not entered into any hedging activity.

36

Other Market Risks

As of March 31, 2010, 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 SEC’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 rel ationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither we nor our properties are subject to any material litigation.

The closing of the transaction was conditioned upon the substantially simultaneous consummation of the public offering of our common stock described in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  There were no underwriters in connection with the sale of the Shares. We sold the Shares to the Gazit affiliates in re liance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Concurrently with the execution of the common stock purchase agreements, we and the Gazit affiliates entered into a registration rights agreement. The registration rights agreement provides that at any time beginning six months after the consummation of the sale, and subject to certain limitations, the Gazit affiliates can request that we file up to two registration statements to register all or a portion of the Shares. The registration rights agreement also provides customary “piggyback” registration rights pursuant to which each Gazit affiliate may include its Shares in certain registration statements filed by us. We are  required to pay all fees and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, relating to the registration of the Shares pursuant to the registration rights agreement.

Section 7.2.7Exceptions.

(a)Subject to Section 7.2.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may exempt a Person from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Common Stock Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if:

                                             (i)             the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of such shares of Capital Stock will violate Section 7.2.1(a)(ii);

                                             (ii)            such Person does not and represents that it will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a Tenant of the Corporation (or a Tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such T enant and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a Tenant from whom the Corporation (or an entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, rent from such Tenant would not adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to qualify as a REIT need not be treated as a Tenant of the Corporation); and

                                             (iii)           such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.6) will result in such shares of Capital Stock being automatically transferred to a Trust in accordance with Sections 7.2.1(b) and 7.3.

(b)       Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 7.2.7(a), the Board of Directors of the Corporation may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT.  Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.

(c)       Subject to Section 7.2.1(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a public offering or a private placement of Capital Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock) in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, the Common Stock Ownership Limit, or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering or private placement.

(d)       The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder:  (1) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (2) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder.  No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Stock Ownership Limit.

Section 7.2.8Increase in Aggregate Stock Ownership and Common Stock Ownership Limits. The Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Common Stock Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit.

Section 7.2.9Legend. Each certificate for shares of Capital Stock shall bear substantially the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of five percent (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Co rporation in excess of five percent of the value of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons.  Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation.  If any of the restrictions on transfer or owner ship are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio.  All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Charter, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge.

48

Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on transferability to a stockholder on request and without charge.

Section 7.3  Transfer of Capital Stock in Trust.

Section 7.3.1Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 7.2.1(b) that would result in a transfer of shares of Capital Stock to a Trust, such shares of Capital Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries.  Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of busines s on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the Trust pursuant to Section 7.2.1(b).  The Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the Corporation and any Prohibited Owner.  Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Corporation as provided in Section 7.3.6.

Section 7.3.2Status of Shares Held by the Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company.  The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the shares held by the Trustee.  The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends or other distributions and shall not posses s any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares held in the Trust.

Section 7.3.3Dividend and Voting Rights. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.  Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or distribution to the Trustee upon demand and any dividend or other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Trustee.  Any dividend or distribution so paid to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary.  The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to shares held in the Trust and, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the authority (at the Trustee’s sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided , however, that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VII, until the Corporation has received notification that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred into a Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of stockholders.

Section 7.3.4Sale of Shares by Trustee. Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 7.2.1(a).  Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the sh ares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 7.3.4.  The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the shares or, if the Prohibited Owner did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust (E.G., in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the Trust.  Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.  If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, such shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 7.3.4, such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

49

                                              Section 7.3.5Purchase Right in Stock Transferred to the Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offer ed for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer.  The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the shares held in the Trust pursuant to Section 7.3.4.  Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner.

                                              Section 7.3.6Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organiza tions to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust such that (i) the shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 7.2.1(a) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each such organization must be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and contributions to each such organization must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code.

Section 7.4NYSE Transactions. Nothing in this Article VII shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system.  The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article VII and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article VII.

Section 7.5Enforcement. The Corporation is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VII.

Section 7.6Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.
