EQUITY ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Organization
 
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops shopping centers located primarily in supply constrained suburban and urban communities. We were organized as a Maryland corporation in 1992, completed our initial public offering in May 1998, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT since 1995.
As of June 30, 2012, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 165 properties totaling approximately 16.8 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, and included 142 shopping centers, 11 development or redevelopment properties, five non-retail properties and seven land parcels. As of June 30, 2012, our core portfolio was 91.8% leased and included national, regional and local tenants. Additionally, we had joint venture interests in 17 shopping centers and two office buildings totaling approximately 2.8 million square feet of GLA.
In January 2011, we closed on the acquisition of C&C (US) No. 1, Inc., which we refer to as CapCo, through a joint venture with Liberty International Holdings Limited, or LIH. At the time of acquisition, CapCo owned a portfolio of 13 properties in California totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet of GLA. The results of CapCo have been included in our financial statements as of the date of acquisition. In December 2011, we sold 36 shopping centers, comprising 3.9 million square feet of GLA, predominantly located in the Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando markets, with additional properties located in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Maryland. The results of operations of these properties are reflected in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those other entities where we have a controlling financial interest including where we have been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). 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. Certain operations have been classified as discontinued and associated results of operations and financial position are separately reported for all periods presented. Information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, does not include the accounts of discontinued operations.
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, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements included in our 2011 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, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2012.

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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
At times, we may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $2.6 million as an increase to interest expense. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit worthiness of the counterparty. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings in 2012, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future. Derivative instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income as a component of net income or as a component of comprehensive income and as a component of stockholders’ equity of Equity One, Inc. on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative’s effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income and equity. See Note 9 for further detail on derivative activity.

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 rent 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 nationally-based 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 June 30, 2012, Publix Super Markets, located in our South and North Florida regions, is our largest tenant and accounted for approximately 1.9 million square feet, or approximately 10.3% of our gross leasable area, and approximately $14.8 million, or 6.2%, of our annual minimum rent. As of June 30, 2012, we had outstanding receivables from Publix Super Markets of approximately $235,000. No other tenant accounted for over 5% of our annual minimum rent.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs")." The guidance under ASU 2011-04 amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRS and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. This guidance contains certain updates to the measurement guidance as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for “Level 3” measurements including enhanced disclosure for: (1) the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We have incorporated the required disclosures within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q where deemed applicable and the adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU No. 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of the alternative chosen, companies must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income within the presentation of both net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, on a retrospective basis. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12,”Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive

9


income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income are to be presented either on the face of the financial statement in which other comprehensive income is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Reclassification adjustments into net income need not be presented during the deferral period. This action does not affect the requirement to present items of net income, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in a single continuous or two consecutive statements. The effective date for the deferred portion has not yet been determined. When adopted, the deferred portion of the guidance is not expected to materially impact our consolidated financial statements. We have incorporated the required disclosures within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q where deemed applicable and the adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment (the revised standard)”. Under ASU No. 2011-08 companies have the option to perform a qualitative assessment that may allow them to skip the annual two-step test and reduce costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption and implementation of this ASU did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate”. The amendments in ASU 2011-10 resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 applies to the derecognition of in substance real estate when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in Subtopic 810-10) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate because of a default by the subsidiary on its nonrecourse debt. The guidance emphasizes that the accounting for such transactions is based on their substance rather than their form. The amendments in the ASU should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. Under ASU 2011-11 disclosures are required to provide information to help reconcile differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not recognize any material measurement period adjustments related to prior year or first quarter 2012 acquisitions. The purchase price and related accounting for the prior year acquisitions of Aventura Square, Culver Center, Danbury Green and Southbury Green are still within the measurement period and will be finalized after our valuation studies are complete.

10



In conjunction with the acquisition of Compo Acres, we entered into a reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary which was for a maximum of 180 days and allowed us, for tax purposes, to defer gains on the sale of other properties identified and sold within this period. Until the earlier of termination of the exchange agreement or 180 days after the acquisition date, the third party intermediary was the legal owner of the property; however, we controlled the activities that most significantly impacted the property and retained all of the economic benefits and risks associated with the property. Therefore, at the date of acquisition, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of this VIE and consolidated the property and its operations as of the acquisition date noted above. As of June 30, 2012, legal ownership had been transferred to us by the qualified intermediary.

We expensed transaction-related costs in connection with completed or pending property acquisitions of approximately $440,000 and $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and approximately $3.2 million and $5.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, which are included in general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The purchase price related to the 2012 acquisitions listed in the above table was funded by the use of our line of credit, cash on hand, proceeds from the term loan and proceeds from dispositions.

As part of our strategy to upgrade and diversify our portfolio and recycle our existing capital, we evaluate opportunities to sell assets or otherwise contribute assets to existing or new joint ventures with third parties. If the market values of these assets are below their carrying values, it is possible that the disposition or contribution of these assets could result in impairments or other losses. Depending on the prevailing market conditions and historical carrying values, these impairments and losses could be material.

Discontinued Operations

We report as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold in the current period. The results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income/loss on the condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption discontinued operations. This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of financial statement amounts.

The components of income and expense relating to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are shown below. These include the results of operations through the date of each respective sale for properties sold during 2011 and 2012 and the operations for the applicable period for those assets classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2012:

Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. The sale or disposal of a “component of an entity” is treated as discontinued operations. The operating properties sold by us typically meet the definition of a component of an entity and as such the revenues and expenses associated with sold properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized impairment losses of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to two properties held for sale based on the expected sales prices less costs to sell. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.3 million relating to our investment in two properties that were held for sale.

Management fees and leasing fees paid to us associated with these joint ventures, which are included in management and leasing services revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, totaled approximately $489,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $603,000 and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

New York Common Retirement Fund Joint Venture

In May 2011, we sold two operating properties, Country Walk Plaza in Miami, Florida and Veranda Shoppes in Plantation, Florida to Equity One JV Portfolio, LLC, a newly formed joint venture between us and the New York State Common Retirement Fund (“NYCRF”). In December 2011, the joint venture purchased an operating property located in Framingham, Massachusetts, for an aggregate purchase price of $23.2 million, which included the assumption of $10.4 million of mortgage debt.

On January 26, 2012, our NYCRF joint venture made an $18.5 million mortgage loan (the “JV Loan”) secured by a newly developed shopping center. The JV Loan bears interest at 6.25%, has a maturity of nine years and is pari passu with a $71.4 million mortgage loan (the “Third Party Loan”) provided by a third party lender. In addition to the JV Loan, we provided a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) indirectly secured by the shopping center in the amount of $19.3 million. The Mezzanine Loan bears interest at 10.0% and has a maturity of nine years. During certain periods prior to January 26, 2014, the joint venture has an option to purchase the shopping center and during certain different periods the borrower has a put option to sell the shopping center to the joint venture, in each case for a formula based purchase price currently projected to be approximately $143.0 million, which is comprised of a predetermined fixed amount of $128.4 million and a variable amount to be derived from the minimum rent associated with a portion of the shopping center under development. In the event it acquires the shopping center, the joint venture is required to immediately repay the Mezzanine Loan. If certain events of default occur under the Third Party Loan, the JV Loan will become

13


subordinate to such Third Party Loan. In that case, we will be obligated to purchase the JV Loan at par plus accrued interest. In addition, if the put and call options expire unexercised, the JV Loan will become subordinate to the Third Party Loan and we will be required to purchase the JV Loan at par plus accrued interest. We have determined that the entities holding direct and indirect interests in the shopping center are VIEs. However, in relation to the VIE in which we hold a variable interest, we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

NYCRF holds a 70% interest in the joint venture and we own a 30% interest. We perform the day to day accounting and property management functions for the joint venture and, as such, earn a management fee for the services provided. Our ownership interest in this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.

6.    Variable Interest Entities

Included within our consolidated operating properties at June 30, 2012 are two consolidated joint venture properties, Danbury Green and Southbury Green, that are held through VIEs and for which we are the primary beneficiary. These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property. Our involvement with these entities is through our majority ownership of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily because they may not have sufficient equity at risk for them to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Specifically, with respect to the VIEs holding the Danbury Green and Southbury Green properties, we determined that the interests held by the other equity investors were not equity investments at risk pursuant to the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC and also gave consideration to the maturity of certain debt obligations of the entities. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of our having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, as well as the right to receive benefits, that could be potentially significant to the VIEs.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total assets of the VIE which owns Danbury Green and Southbury Green was approximately $111.5 million and $109.2 million, respectively. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of the VIE. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the liabilities of the VIE which owns Danbury Green and Southbury Green of $63.6 million and $61.9 million, respectively, include third party liabilities for which the creditors or beneficial interest holders do not have recourse against us other than for customary environmental indemnifications and non-recourse carve-outs. The classification of these assets is primarily within real estate and the classification of liabilities is primarily within mortgages payable and redeemable and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (as discussed further in Note 12).

Included within our consolidated operating properties at December 31, 2011, in addition to Danbury Green and Southbury Green, was one consolidated property, 90-30 Metropolitan Avenue, which was held at the time by a qualified intermediary. As of June 30, 2012, legal ownership had been transferred to us by the qualified intermediary, and as such it is no longer considered a VIE.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total assets of these VIEs were approximately $111.5 million and $138.2 million, respectively, and total liabilities were approximately $63.6 million and $62.4 million, respectively, including non-recourse mortgage debt of $45.7 million at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with cash flows generated from the properties. We have not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide; our contractual commitments consist primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may experience.

7.    Mezzanine Loans Receivable

On July 5, 2011, we invested in a $45.0 million junior mezzanine loan indirectly secured by a portfolio of seven California shopping centers which had an aggregate appraised value of approximately $272.0 million at the time we acquired the mezzanine loan. This mezzanine loan is subordinated in right of payment to a $120.0 million mortgage loan and a $60.0 million senior mezzanine loan, matures on July 9, 2013 subject to the borrower’s ability to extend the maturity date for three additional one-year periods, and bears interest at 8.46% per annum plus one month LIBOR (subject to a 0.75% per annum LIBOR floor). At June 30, 2012, the mezzanine loan bore interest of 9.21%. We capitalized $108,000 in net fees paid relating to the acquisition of this loan and are amortizing these amounts against interest income over the initial two-year term. As of June 30, 2012, the loan was performing, and the carrying amount of the loan was $45.2 million. This carrying amount also reflects our maximum exposure to loss related to this investment. At inception, and as of June 30, 2012, we had and continue to have the ability and intention to hold this mezzanine loan to maturity.


14


On January 26, 2012, we invested in a $19.3 million mezzanine loan indirectly secured by a newly developed shopping center. This mezzanine financing bears interest at 10.0% and has a maturity of nine years (see Note 5 for further details). As of June 30, 2012, the loan was performing, and the carrying amount of the loan was $19.5 million. As discussed in Note 5 above, if certain events of default occur under the Third Party Loan, the JV Loan of $18.5 million will become subordinate to it. In that case, we will be obligated to purchase the JV Loan at par plus accrued interest. In addition, if the put and call options expire unexercised, the JV Loan will become subordinate to the Third Party Loan and we will be required to purchase the JV Loan at par plus accrued interest. As a result of these conditions, in the event of default, our maximum exposure to loss related to this investment includes the carrying amount of the $19.5 million mezzanine loan, the $18.5 million JV Loan we would be obligated to purchase, as well as our 30% share of any potential losses or liability incurred by the joint venture as a result of any default. At inception and as of June 30, 2012, we had and continue to have the ability to hold this mezzanine loan to maturity. While we do not intend to sell the mezzanine loan, the joint venture may acquire the shopping center and repay our mezzanine loan prior to maturity; however, we believe that we will recover our cost basis and as such we continue to classify this investment as held to maturity.

9.    Borrowings

Mortgage Notes Payable

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we prepaid $36.7 million and $37.7 million, respectively, in mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.80%. At June 30, 2012, the weighted-average interest rate of our fixed rate mortgage notes payable was 6.13%.

Unsecured Senior Notes

On January 23, 2012, we repaid the $10.0 million principal amount of 7.84% unsecured senior notes. At June 30, 2012, the weighted-average interest rate of our unsecured senior notes was 6.03%.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities

Our primary credit facility is with a syndicate of banks and provides $575.0 million of unsecured revolving credit. As of June 30, 2012, we had drawn approximately $101.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at 1.80% per annum. As of December 31, 2011, we had drawn approximately $138.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at 1.85% per annum. The facility also includes a facility fee applicable to the lending commitments thereunder, which fee was 0.3% per annum as of June 30, 2012. The facility expires on September 30, 2015, with a one year extension at our option.

We also have a $15.0 million unsecured credit facility with City National Bank of Florida, for which there was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% and expires on August 8, 2012.


15


As of June 30, 2012 the maximum availability under these credit facilities was approximately $398.7 million, net of outstanding letters of credit and subject to the covenants in the loan agreements.

Term Loan and Interest Rate Swaps

On February 13, 2012, we entered into an unsecured term loan in the principal amount of $200.0 million with a maturity date of February 13, 2019. On July 12, 2012, we increased the principal amount of the term loan to $250.0 million through the exercise of an accordion feature. Borrowings under the term loan bear interest, at our option, at the base rate or one month, two month, three month or six month LIBOR, in each case plus a margin of 1.500% to 2.350% depending on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long term debt, which margin is 1.900% at June 30, 2012. The loan agreement also calls for other customary fees and charges. The loan agreement contains customary restrictions on our business, financial and affirmative covenants, events of default and remedies which are generally the same as those provided in our $575.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We entered into interest rate swaps to convert the LIBOR rate applicable to the term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective fixed interest rate under the loan agreement of 3.46% per annum for the initial $200.0 million draw and 3.00% for the $50.0 million draw, in each case, based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes. The swaps are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges and have been recorded at fair value. The swap agreements mature on February 13, 2019. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at June 30, 2012 was a liability of $5.1 million and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at such date.

11.    Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1995. It is our intention to adhere to the organizational and operational requirements to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax, provided that distributions to our stockholders equal at least the amount of our REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. We are required to pay U.S. federal and state income taxes on our net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Accordingly, the only provision for federal income taxes in our condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our consolidated TRSs.
We recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $15,000 and $174,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $61,000 and $307,000, respectively. These benefits are primarily attributable to the net operating losses generated by DIM Vastgoed, N.V. (“DIM”), a Dutch company in which we acquired a controlling interest in the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by taxable income generated by IRT Capital Corporation II (“IRT”). We recorded an income tax benefit from discontinued operations of approximately $379,000 and $811,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. There was no income tax benefit from discontinued operations recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The tax benefits recorded related to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the reversal of a deferred tax liability associated with properties held for sale by DIM and IRT and, to a lesser extent, by net operating losses. Although DIM is organized under the laws of the Netherlands, it pays U.S. corporate income tax based on its operations in the United States. Pursuant to the tax treaty between the U.S. and the Netherlands, DIM is entitled to the avoidance of double taxation on its U.S. income. Thus, it pays virtually no taxes in the Netherlands. As of June 30, 2012, DIM had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. These carry forwards begin to expire in 2027.
Further, we believe that we have appropriate support for the tax positions taken on our tax returns and that our accruals for the tax liabilities are adequate for all years still subject to tax audit after 2007.

12.    Noncontrolling Interests

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.

______________________________________________ 
(1) This entity owns the Danbury Green Shopping Center.
(2) This entity owns the Southbury Green Shopping Center.
(3) This entity owns the Canyon Trails Shopping Center.
(4) We have entered into a redemption agreement whereby our joint venture partner can request that we purchase their interest at any time
before January 1, 2014.
(5) Holds our interest in Talega Village Center JV, LLC.
(6) Holds our interest in Vernola Marketplace JV, LLC.

In October 2011, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in two VIEs, Danbury 6 Associates LLC and Southbury 84 Associates LLC. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these entities and, accordingly, we consolidated their results as of the acquisition date. Upon consolidation, we recorded $19.0 million of noncontrolling interest which represented the estimated fair value of the preferred equity interests which are entitled to a cumulative 5% annual preferred return, held by the noncontrolling interest holders. The operating agreements contain certain provisions that may require us to redeem the noncontrolling interest at the balance of their contributed capital as adjusted for unpaid preferred returns due to them pursuant to the operating agreements. The provisions are exercisable at the earlier of the partner’s death or at any time after the fifth anniversary of the acquisition closing until the tenth anniversary of the acquisition closing. Due to the redemption feature, we have recorded the $19.0 million of noncontrolling interest associated with this venture in the mezzanine section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which approximates redemption value. Together with our valuation advisors, we are still in the process of determining the fair market value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date, and thus, the accounting for these business combinations has not yet been finalized. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is increased by periodic accretions of a preferred return of 5%, and will be decreased by payments made to the noncontrolling partner which shall be recognized as income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders for the period, such that the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest will equal the mandatory redemption amount. Both the income attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders and amounts paid to them during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $236,000 and $472,000, respectively.

13.    Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Share

In connection with the CapCo acquisition on January 4, 2011, LIH transferred and assigned to us an outstanding promissory note of CapCo in the amount of $67.0 million in exchange for approximately 4.1 million shares of our common stock and one share of a newly-established class of our capital stock, Class A common stock, that (i) was convertible into 10,000 shares of our common stock in certain circumstances, and (ii) subject to certain limitations, entitled LIH to voting rights with respect to a number of shares of our common stock determined with reference to the number of joint venture shares held by LIH from time to time. Effective June 29, 2011, the one share of Class A common stock was converted in accordance with its terms into 10,000 shares of

17


our common stock.

Also in connection with the closing of the CapCo transaction in 2011, we executed a Registration and Liquidity Rights Agreement between us and LIH pursuant to which we agreed to register the approximately 4.1 million shares of our common stock received by LIH in the transaction and the approximately 11.4 million shares of our common stock issuable if we exercise our right to pay for the redemption of LIH’s joint venture units with shares of our common stock. On March 9, 2012, LIH sold the approximately 4.1 million shares of our common stock issued in exchange for the CapCo note and upon conversion of the Class A common stock pursuant to a registered public offering. Pursuant to the Registration and Liquidity Rights Agreement, we paid all of the expenses of the offering other than underwriting discounts and legal expenses of counsel to LIH, which amounted to $169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.

The computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 did not include 1.9 million shares of common stock, issuable upon the exercises of outstanding options, at prices ranging from $21.64 to $26.66 and $19.84 to $26.66, respectively, because the option prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares during these respective periods. The computation of diluted EPS for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 did not include 1.9 million shares of common stock, issuable upon the exercises of outstanding options, at prices ranging from $19.84 to $26.66 and $18.88 to $26.66, respectively, because the option prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares during these respective periods.

The computation of diluted EPS for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 did not include the 11.4 million units held by LIH which are convertible into our common stock. The LIH shares are redeemable for cash or, solely at our option, our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. These convertible units are not included in the diluted weighted average share count because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

15.    Segment Reporting
 
We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. We have aggregated our operating segments in six reportable segments based primarily upon our method of internal reporting which classifies our operations by geographical area. Our reportable segments by geographical area are as follows: (1) South Florida – including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties; (2) North Florida – including all of Florida north of Palm Beach County; (3) Southeast - including Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee; (4) Northeast – including Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia; (5) West Coast – including California and Arizona; and (6) Other/Non-retail – which is comprised of our non-retail assets. Our segments as reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012 are not consistent with our segments as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We have divided our previously combined North Florida and Southeast region into two separate regions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012, as a result of a change in management responsibilities for the North Florida region during the period and corresponding changes in our internal reporting. These changes have been reflected in our segment disclosures for all periods presented herein.

We assess a segment’s performance based on net operating income (“NOI”). NOI excludes interest and other income, acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) from extinguishments of debt, income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, gains on sales of real estate, impairments, and noncontrolling interests. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations, which, to calculate NOI, is adjusted to add back amortization of deferred financing fees, rental property depreciation and amortization, interest expense, impairment losses, general and administrative expense, and to exclude revenues earned from management and leasing services, straight line rent adjustments, accretion of below market lease intangibles (net), gain on sale of real estate, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain on bargain purchase and acquisition of controlling interest in subsidiary, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, investment income, and other income. NOI includes management fee expense recorded at each operating segment based on a percentage of revenue which is eliminated in consolidation. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties.

The following table sets forth the financial information relating to our continuing operations presented by segments and includes a reconciliation of NOI to income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

16.    Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2012, we had pledged letters of credit having an aggregate face amount of $3.7 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.
 
As of June 30, 2012, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $135.4 million in development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $103.2 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be expended over the next two years. These obligations, comprising principally construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by the funds available under our credit facilities, 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.

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business. However, we do not believe that any of the litigation outstanding as of June 30, 2012 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $525,000, which is included in property operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income, related to litigation that was settled in the first quarter of 2012.

17.    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 dry cleaning 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. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.

18.    Fair Value Measurements
  
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2012, we have interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $200.0 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at June 30, 2012 was a liability of $5.1 million and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of such date. The net unrealized loss on our interest rate swaps was $6.1 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on the estimated amount we would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The interest rate swap is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Valuation Methods

Interest rate swap - The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of June 30, 2012, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed and it was determined that these adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of $6.1 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, are attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swaps that remain outstanding at June 30, 2012, none of which were reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income because they are documented and qualify as hedging instruments.

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 five 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 throughout 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.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We perform annual, or more frequent in certain circumstances, impairment tests of our goodwill. Impairments, if any, result from values established by Level 3 valuations. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using discounted projected future cash flows, which approximate a current sales price. If the results of this analysis indicate that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to fair value. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $145,000 related to an operating property.

On a non-recurring basis, we evaluate the carrying value of investment property and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairments, if any, result from values established by Level 3 valuations. The carrying value is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined by purchase price offers or by discounted cash flows using the income or market approach. These cash flows are comprised of unobservable inputs which include contractual rental revenues and forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon observable rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, we determined that the valuation of these investment properties and investments is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not record any impairments related to land parcels held for development, and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures.


24



During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized impairment losses of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to two properties held for sale (one in the South Florida region and one in the Southeast region), which are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair value related to the impairment assessment for the property in the South Florida region was based upon the expected sales prices as determined by an executed contract after adjusting for costs to sell and, therefore, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value related to the impairment assessment for the property in the Southeast region was primarily based on a broker opinion and, therefore, is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.3 million related to two properties that were held for sale.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized an impairment loss of $3.9 million related to an operating property located in a secondary market for which our anticipated holding period was reconsidered and for which leasing of significant vacant space has been difficult. The impairment and results of operations for this property are included in the Southeast region. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not recognize any impairment losses related to operating properties.

19.    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 (classified within levels 1, 2 and 3 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

Mezzanine Loans Receivable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $63.6 million and $45.0 million, respectively. The fair value is estimated by using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The carrying amount of these mezzanine loans receivable, including accrued interest, was approximately $64.7 million and $45.3 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Mortgage Notes Payable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $473.0 million and $545.6 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, including notes associated with properties held for sale, was approximately $437.8 million and $509.6 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
 
Unsecured Senior Notes Payable (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $736.2 million and $725.9 million, respectively, 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 $679.1 million and $688.8 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Term Loan (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value estimated at June 30, 2012 was $192.4 million, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loan using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The carrying amount of this loan was approximately $200.0 million at June 30, 2012. The loan was entered into in the first quarter of 2012.

The fair market value calculation of our debt as of June 30, 2012 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.

25



Interest Rate Swap Agreements (classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy) – The fair value of our interest rate swaps at June 30, 2012 was a liability of $5.1 million. See Note 18 above for a discussion of the method used to value the interest rate swaps.

Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests (classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying amount of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of $22.6 million and $22.8 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, approximates their fair value. The valuation method used to estimate fair value of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests is based on discounted cash flow analyses.

Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy) – The carrying amount of the investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures of $53.8 million and $50.2 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, approximates its fair value as determined by discounted cash flow analyses.

21. Related Parties
We received rental income from affiliates of Gazit, our largest shareholder, of approximately $85,000 and $79,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $172,000 and $153,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Reimbursements from Gazit of general and administrative expenses incurred by us totaled approximately $124,000 and $332,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The balance due from Gazit, which is included in accounts and other receivables, was approximately $285,000 and $126,000 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
We reimbursed MGN Icarus, Inc., an affiliate of Gazit, for certain travel expenses incurred by the Chairman of our Board of Directors. There were no reimbursements expensed for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The amounts reimbursed totaled approximately $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no reimbursements expensed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

22. Subsequent Events

Pursuant to the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC, we have evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after our June 30, 2012 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have approximately $63.5 million in proposed acquisitions that we expect to close in the second half of 2012. These proposed transactions consist of the acquisition of a shopping center under contract in Connecticut for $36.0 million, which includes the assumption of $19.0 million of indebtedness, and a retail condominium in New York for $27.5 million, which includes the assumption of $16.8 million of indebtedness. These acquisitions are past the due diligence periods under the applicable purchase and sale agreements and, as such, aggregate deposits of $2.3 million are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in the

33


contracts.
On July 12, 2012, we increased the principal amount of the $200.0 million term loan to $250.0 million with the same terms as the $200.0 million term loan discussed in Note 9. In connection with the closing, we entered into an interest rate swap to convert the LIBOR rate on the additional $50.0 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective weighted average fixed interest rate under the loan agreement for the additional $50.0 million of 3.00% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes. The swap is designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge and matures on February 13, 2019.

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. Financial Statements” of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2012.
Overview
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops shopping centers primarily located in supply constrained suburban and urban communities. 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 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 minimize risks associated with land development.

As of June 30, 2012, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 165 properties totaling approximately 16.8 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, and included 142 shopping centers, 11 development or redevelopment properties, five non-retail properties and seven land parcels. As of June 30, 2012, our core portfolio was 91.8% leased and included national, regional and local tenants. Additionally, we had joint venture interests in 17 shopping centers and two office buildings totaling approximately 2.8 million square feet of GLA.
In January 2011, we closed on the acquisition of C&C (US) No. 1, Inc., which we refer to as CapCo, through a joint venture with Liberty International Holdings Limited, or LIH. At the time of acquisition, CapCo owned a portfolio of 13 properties in California totaling approximately 2.6 million square feet of GLA. In December 2011, we sold 36 shopping centers, comprising 3.9 million square feet of GLA, predominantly located in the Atlanta, Tampa and Orlando markets, with additional properties located in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Maryland.

The difficult economic environment continues to affect our business, especially as it relates to leasing space to smaller shop tenants. While most of our shopping centers are anchored by supermarkets, drug stores or other necessity-oriented retailers, which are less susceptible to economic cycles, other tenants in our shopping centers, particularly smaller shop tenants, have been especially vulnerable as they have faced both declining sales and reduced access to capital. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 61% of our shopping centers were supermarket-anchored, which we believe is a competitive advantage because supermarket sales have not been as affected as the sales of many other classes of retailers, and our supermarkets continue to draw traffic to these centers.

We continue to seek opportunities to invest in our primary target markets of South Florida, California and the northeastern United States. We also look for opportunities to develop or redevelop centers in urban markets with strong demographic characteristics and high barriers to entry. We expect to acquire additional assets in our target markets through the use of both joint venture arrangements and our own capital resources.
 
While we have experienced and expect to see continued gradual improvement in economic conditions during the remainder of 2012, we expect continuing challenges in leasing space to small shop tenants. We believe the continued diversification of our portfolio during 2011, including the reinvestment of proceeds from dispositions into higher quality assets, has made us less susceptible to economic downturns. In that light, we anticipate that our "core" portfolio occupancy (which excludes non-retail properties, properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures and development properties) and same-property net operating income (as defined below) for the remainder of 2012 will continue to experience a modest increase as compared to 2011.

The execution of our business strategy during the second quarter of 2012 resulted in:

the acquisition of a 1.8 acre development site in the Bronx, New York, at a purchase price of $7.5 million, which we expect to develop into a neighborhood shopping center;
the prepayment of approximately $36.7 million in mortgage debt;
the signing of 50 new leases totaling approximately 118,290 square feet at an average rental rate of $20.04(1) per square foot in 2012 as compared to the prior in-place average rent of $17.85 per square foot, on a same space(2) basis, a 12.3% average rent spread;

35


the renewal and extension of 81 leases totaling 313,306 square feet at an average rental rate of $17.64(1) per square foot in 2012 as compared to the prior in-place average rent of $16.91 per square foot, on a same space(2) basis, a 4.3% average rent spread;
an increase in core occupancy to 91.8% from 91.5% at March 31, 2012, and on a same-property basis (as defined below), an increase in occupancy of 30 basis points to 91.5% as compared to June 30, 2011; and
the prepayment of approximately $36.7 million principal amount in mortgage debt.
_______________________________
(1) 
Amount reflects the impact of tenant concessions and work to be performed by us prior to delivery of the space to the tenant.
(2) 
The “same space” designation is used to compare leasing terms (principally cash leasing spreads) from the prior tenant to the new/current tenant. In some cases, leases and/or premises are excluded from “same space” because the gross leasable area of the prior premises is combined or divided to form a larger or smaller, non-comparable space. Also excluded from the “same space” designation are those leases for which a comparable prior rent is not available due to the acquisition or development of a new center.

In addition to the above, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the execution of our business strategy resulted in:
the sale of five non-core assets for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $62.1 million resulting in a net gain of $14.3 million;
the acquisition of one shopping center located in California and two shopping centers located in Connecticut representing an aggregate of approximately 290,000 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $153.8 million, which along with our second quarter acquisition brought the total purchase price paid for acquisitions to $161.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012;
a $19.3 million mezzanine loan investment indirectly secured by a newly developed shopping center; and
the closing of an unsecured term loan in the principal amount of $200.0 million, with a maturity date of February 13, 2019, which bears interest at an effective fixed rate of 3.46% per annum based on our current credit ratings through the utilization of interest rate swaps.
Additionally, on July 12, 2012, we increased the principal amount of the $200.0 million term loan to $250.0 million as discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In connection with the closing, we entered into an interest rate swap to convert the LIBOR rate on the additional $50.0 million of the term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective fixed interest rate under the loan agreement for the additional $50.0 million of 3.00% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes. Together with the swaps issued with the initial $200.0 million term loan, the effective weighted average fixed interest rate for all amounts outstanding under the term loan agreement is 3.37% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes.
Results of Operations
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, term loans 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. In addition, non-cash impairment charges may also affect comparability.

36


Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “same-property” basis. Information provided on a same-property basis includes the results of properties that we consolidated, owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods being compared. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we moved one property totaling approximately 92,000 square feet and two properties totaling 201,000 square feet, respectively, out of the same-property pools.
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is income from continuing operations before tax and discontinued operations, which, to calculate NOI, is adjusted to add back amortization of deferred financing fees, rental property depreciation and amortization, interest expense, impairment losses, general and administrative expense, and to exclude revenues earned from management and leasing services, straight line rent adjustments, accretion of below market lease intangibles (net), gain on sale of real estate, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain on bargain purchase and acquisition of controlling interest in subsidiary, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, investment income, and other income. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Our management also uses NOI to evaluate regional property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from continuing operations before tax and before discontinued operations. NOI excludes certain components from net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with income from continuing operations before tax and before discontinued operations as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations before tax and before discontinued operations as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions.
We review operating and financial data, primarily NOI, for each property on an individual basis; therefore each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. We have aggregated our operating segments into six reportable segments based primarily upon our method of internal reporting which classifies our operations by geographical area. Our reportable segments by geographical area are as follows: South Florida, North Florida, Southeast, Northeast, West Coast and Other/Non-retail. See Note 15 in the condensed consolidated financial statements of this report, which is incorporated in this Item 2 by reference, for more information about our business segments, recent changes in segment structure, and the geographic diversification of our portfolio of properties, and for a reconciliation of NOI to income from continuing operations before tax and before discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Same Property NOI and Occupancy Information
Same-property NOI increased by $278,000 and $2.2 million, or 0.7% and 2.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 driven primarily by a net increase in minimum rent due to rent commencements and contractual rent increases and lower bad debt expense; partially offset by a decrease in expense recovery income.

Total revenue increased by $9.4 million, or 12.8%, to $82.5 million in 2012 from $73.1 million in 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $11.2 million associated with properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; partially offset by
a decrease of $920,000 in same-property revenue due to a decrease in expense recovery income primarily due to lower recoverable expenses;
a net decrease of $410,000 related to various development and redevelopment projects which were under construction in the 2012 period, partially offset by an increase in revenues related to redevelopment projects which were under construction in the 2011 period but were income producing in the 2012 period;
a decrease of $270,000 related to assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011; and
a decrease of $150,000 related to an acquisition fee earned from our NYCRF joint venture in the 2011 period.
Property operating expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 7.3%, to $22.0 million in 2012 from $20.5 million in 2011. The increase primarily consists of the following:
an increase of approximately $2.5 million associated with properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; partially offset by
a net decrease of approximately $670,000 in same-property expenses, primarily attributable to lower real estate taxes, external management fees and bad debt expense, partially offset by increased insurance expense;
a decrease of $170,000 in operating expenses at various development and redevelopment project sites which were under construction in 2012; and
a decrease of $130,000 in expenses related to assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011.
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $2.3 million, or 11.0%, to $23.0 million for 2012 from $20.7 million

39


in 2011. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase of approximately $3.5 million related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $1.1 million primarily related to assets fully depreciated in 2011 as a result of tenant vacancies; and
a decrease of $130,000 due to the disposition of assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.7 million, or 20.3%, to $10.6 million for 2012 from $13.3 million in 2011. The decrease in 2012 was primarily related to the following:
a decrease of approximately $2.6 million related to legal, consulting, and other costs associated with acquisitions, dispositions, and the exploration of other potential transactions, primarily related to transactions completed in 2011; and
a decrease of approximately $320,000 in severance costs paid to former CapCo employees in 2011; partially offset by
an increase in professional services fees of approximately $180,000 primarily due to information technology consulting services.
We recorded investment income of $1.6 million in 2012 compared to $1.0 million in 2011. The increase is due to interest income from the mezzanine loan investments made in 2011 and early 2012; partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on bridge loans made to unconsolidated joint ventures which were repaid in 2011.
Interest expense increased by $454,000, or 2.6%, to $17.8 million for 2012 from $17.4 million in 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $1.8 million associated with our new $200.0 million term loan; and
an increase of approximately $1.1 million primarily associated with mortgage assumptions in 2012 and 2011 related to acquisitions; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $1.3 million associated with lower mortgage interest due to mortgages paid off during 2012 and 2011;
a decrease of $875,000 due to higher capitalized interest as a result of a major development project; and
a decrease of $240,000 due to the maturity of $10 million of senior notes in the first quarter of 2012.
We recorded a gain on sale of real estate of $4.6 million in 2011. The 2011 gain is attributable to additional consideration earned related to the sale of an outparcel to our GRI-EQY I, LLC joint venture, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.6 million, and the sale of two operating properties to a newly formed joint venture with CRF, resulting in a gain of approximately $943,000.
We recorded impairment losses in continuing operations in 2012 and 2011 of approximately $3.9 million and $145,000, respectively. The 2012 impairment loss related to an operating property in the Southeast region.
For 2012, we recorded losses from discontinued operations of $1.3 million compared to income of $2.8 million for 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:
a decrease of $3.5 million in operating income from sold or held-for-sale properties;
a decrease in income tax benefit of $379,000 relating to properties that were sold in 2011; and
an increase of $216,000 in impairment losses on assets held for sale.
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $4.1 million to $5.0 million for 2012 from $9.1 million in 2011. Net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. decreased by $4.7 million to $2.3 million for 2012 compared to $7.0 million in 2011.

Total revenue increased by $20.1 million, or 14.0%, to $163.9 million in 2012 from $143.8 million in 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $21.8 million associated with properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; and
an increase of $240,000 related to management and leasing fees charged to our NYCRF joint venture relating to its recent acquisition and financing activities; partially offset by
a decrease of $1.2 million related to assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011;
a decrease of $440,000 in same-property revenue due to a decrease in expense recovery income primarily due to lower recoverable expenses; and
a net decrease of $310,000 related to various development and redevelopment projects which were under construction in the 2012 period, partially offset by an increase in revenues related to redevelopment projects which were under construction in the 2011 period but were income producing in the 2012 period.
Property operating expenses increased by $3.0 million, or 7.4%, to $44.0 million in 2012 from $41.0 million in 2011. The increase primarily consists of the following:
an increase of approximately $4.7 million associated with properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; and
an increase of approximately $525,000 related to a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2012; partially offset by
a net decrease of approximately $1.2 million in same-property and land expenses, primarily attributable to lower bad debt expense, real estate taxes and external management fees, offset by increased insurance expense;
a decrease of $600,000 in operating expenses at various development and redevelopment project sites which were under construction in 2012; and
a decrease of $370,000 in expenses related to assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011.

41


Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $5.2 million, or 13.3%, to $44.7 million for 2012 from $39.5 million in 2011. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase of approximately $6.9 million related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2012 and 2011; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $1.1 million primarily related to assets fully depreciated in 2011 as a result of tenant vacancies; and
a decrease of $530,000 due to the disposition of assets sold to our NYCRF joint venture in 2011.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.1 million, or 12.4%, to $22.2 million for 2012 from $25.3 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to the following:
a decrease of approximately $3.8 million related to legal, consulting, and other costs associated with acquisitions, dispositions, and the exploration of other potential transactions, primarily related to transactions completed in 2011; and
a decrease of approximately $830,000 in severance costs paid to former CapCo employees in 2011; partially offset by
an increase in professional services fees of approximately $770,000 primarily due to information technology consulting services;
an increase of approximately $430,000 due to increased personnel related costs; and
an increase of $300,000 in fees paid to directors as a result of the grant and acceleration of restricted stock awards to a retiring director and higher stock compensation expense for 2012 grants to directors.
We recorded investment income of $3.0 million in 2012 compared to $1.7 million in 2011. The increase is due to interest income from the mezzanine loan investments made in 2011 and early 2012; partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on bridge loans made to unconsolidated joint ventures which were repaid in 2011.
Interest expense increased by $272,000, or 0.8%, to $35.2 million for 2012 from $34.9 million in 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $2.6 million associated with our new $200.0 million term loan; and
an increase of approximately $2.3 million primarily associated with mortgage assumptions in 2012 and 2011 related to acquisitions; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $2.8 million associated with lower mortgage interest due to mortgages paid off during 2012 and 2011;
a decrease of $1.5 million due to higher capitalized interest as a result of a major development project; and
a decrease of $300,000 due to the maturity of $10 million of senior notes in the first quarter of 2012.
The gain on bargain purchase of $30.6 million recognized in 2011 was generated from our acquisition of a controlling interest in CapCo. No comparable amounts are included in 2012. The gain represents the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired of $310.4 million and the fair value of the consideration paid and noncontrolling interest of $279.8 million.
We recorded a gain on sale of real estate of $4.6 million in 2011. The 2011 gain is attributable to additional consideration earned related to the sale of an outparcel to our GRI-EQY I, LLC joint venture, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.6 million, and the sale of two operating properties to a newly formed joint venture with NYCRF, resulting in a gain of approximately $943,000.
We recorded impairment losses in continuing operations in 2012 and 2011 of approximately $3.9 million and $145,000, respectively. The 2012 impairment loss consisted of an impairment charge related to an operating property in the Southeast region.
For 2012, we recorded income from discontinued operations of $10.8 million compared to income of $6.8 million for 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

42


an increase of $14.3 million related to net gains from sales of four operating properties and one operating outparcel; partially offset by
a decrease of $7.3 million in operating income from sold or held-for-sale properties;
a decrease in income tax benefit of $811,000 relating to properties that were sold in 2011; and
an increase of $2.1 million in impairment losses on assets held for sale.
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $19.8 million to $26.7 million for 2012 from $46.5 million in 2011. Net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. decreased by $20.7 million to $21.3 million for 2012 compared to $42.0 million in 2011.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 2011 - Segments
South Florida: Revenues increased by 4.3% or $923,000 to $22.6 million for 2012 from $21.7 million for 2011. NOI for South Florida increased by 6.7% or $939,000 to $15.0 million for 2012 from $14.1 million for 2011. Revenues increased due to our acquisition of Aventura Square in 2011 and increased occupancy and higher rent from contractual rent increases and new rent commencements at our same site properties. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to the sale of two properties to our NYCRF joint venture during 2011 and a decrease in expense recovery income resulting from lower recoverable expenses and a decline in our expense recovery ratios at our same site properties. The increase in NOI was primarily a result of the increase in revenues.

North Florida: Revenues decreased by 6.1% or $738,000 to $11.4 million for 2012 from $12.1 million for 2011. NOI decreased by 5.7% or $475,000 to $7.9 million for 2012 from $8.4 million for 2011. Revenues decreased due to lower percentage rent income and a decrease in expense recovery income resulting from lower recoverable expenses and a decline in our expense recovery ratio at our same site properties. The decrease in NOI was a result of the decrease in revenues partially offset by a decrease in real estate tax expense.
Southeast: Revenues increased by 2.9% or $401,000 to $14.1 million for 2012 from $13.7 million for 2011. NOI increased by 3.5% or $332,000 to $9.9 million for 2012 from $9.5 million for 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of higher minimum rent due to new rent commencements and contractual rent increases and higher expense recovery income due to an increase in recoverable expenses. The increase in NOI was a result of the increased revenues partially offset by the increase in recoverable expenses.

44


Northeast: Revenues increased by 43.4% or $3.5 million to $11.7 million for 2012 from $8.2 million for 2011. NOI increased by 42.0% or $2.5 million to $8.5 million for 2012 from $6.0 million for 2011. The increase in both revenues and NOI was a result of our acquisition of Compo Acres, Danbury Green, Southbury Green, and Post Road Plaza located in Connecticut and 90-30 Metropolitan and 161 W. 16th Street located in New York City.
West Coast: Revenues increased by 33.8% or $4.3 million to $17.1 million for 2012 from $12.8 million for 2011. NOI increased by 31.3% or $2.7 million to $11.2 million for 2012 from $8.5 million for 2011. The increase in revenues was a result of our acquisition of Culver Center, Potrero, and Ralph's Circle Center located in California, partially offset by lower expense recovery income at our same site properties. The increase in NOI was primarily a result of our acquisitions, partially offset by the decline in expense recovery income at our same site properties.
Non-retail: Revenues decreased by 11.0% or $77,000 to $621,000 for 2012 from $698,000 for 2011. NOI increased by 16.5% or $47,000 to $332,000 for 2012 from $285,000 for 2011. The decrease in revenues was due to an increase in rent abatements. The increase in NOI was due to a decrease in operating expenses partially offset by the increase in rent abatements.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 to 2011 - Segments
South Florida: Revenues increased by 4.0% or $1.8 million to $46.0 million for 2012 from $44.2 million for 2011. NOI for South Florida increased by 7.7% or $2.2 million to $30.9 million for 2012 from $28.7 million for 2011. Revenues increased due to our acquisition of Aventura Square and increased occupancy and higher rent from contractual rent increases and new rent commencements at our same site properties, as well as an increase in percentage rent primarily from anchor tenants. These increases in revenue were partially offset by decreases in revenue due to the sale of two properties to our NYCRF joint venture during 2011 and lower lease termination fees received in 2012. The increase in NOI was a result of our acquisition of Aventura Square and a decrease in real estate tax expense at our same site properties partially offset by the sale of two properties to our NYCRF joint venture.

North Florida: Revenues decreased by 4.1% or $988,000 to $22.9 million for 2012 from $23.9 million for 2011. NOI decreased by 1.3% or $210,000 to $16.1 million for 2012 from $16.3 million for 2011. Revenues decreased due to lower percentage rent, an increase in rent concessions and abatements, and a decrease in expense recovery income resulting from lower recoverable expenses at our same site properties. The decrease in NOI was a result of the decrease in revenues; partially offset by decreases in recoverable operating expenses, bad debt expense and real estate tax expense.
Southeast: Revenues increased by 1.7% or $456,000 to $28.1 million for 2012 from $27.6 million for 2011. NOI increased by 2.3% or $453,000 to $19.8 million for 2012 from $19.4 million for 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of higher minimum rent due to new rent commencements and contractual rent increases and higher expense recovery income due to an increase in recoverable expenses. The increase in NOI was a result of the increased revenues.
Northeast: Revenues increased by 38.4% or $6.4 million to $23.1 million for 2012 from $16.7 million for 2011. NOI increased by 35.3% or $4.1 million to $15.9 million for 2012 from $11.7 million for 2011. The increase in both revenues and NOI was primarily a result of our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions noted above. The increase in NOI from acquisitions was partially offset by an increase in non-recoverable property operating expenses due primarily to the settlement of a tenant dispute during 2012 which resulted in a $525,000 expense in the first quarter of 2012.
West Coast: Revenues increased by 40.4% or $9.5 million to $32.8 million for 2012 from $23.4 million for 2011. NOI increased by 39.0% or $6.1 million to $21.7 million for 2012 from $15.6 million for 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to our acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, new rent commencements and an increase in percentage rent due to higher reported tenant sales. The increase in NOI was primarily attributable to our acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, an increase in NOI from our same site properties due to the increase in revenues and a decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by higher real estate tax expense.
Non-retail: Revenues decreased by 12.6% or $184,000 to $1.3 million for 2012 from $1.5 million for 2011. NOI decreased by 1.6% or $11,000 to $667,000 for 2012 from $678,000 for 2011. The decrease in revenues was due to an increase in rent abatements. The decrease in NOI was due to the increase in rent abatements partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.
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

45


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 themselves”.
 
FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of, or impairment charges related to, depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” NAREIT 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. In October 2011, NAREIT clarified that FFO should exclude the impact of impairment losses on depreciable operating properties, either wholly-owned or in joint ventures. We calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this clarification.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

(1) Includes net effect of: (a) distributions paid with respect to unissued shares held by a noncontrolling interest which already been included for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011; and (b) an adjustment to compensate for the rounding of the individual calculations.
(2) Effective in the fourth quarter of 2011, NAREIT clarified the definition of FFO to exclude impairment write downs of depreciable real estate. We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this clarification.
(3) Weighted average diluted shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are higher than the GAAP diluted weighted average shares as a result of the 11.4 million units held by LIH which are convertible into our common stock, and also as a result of employee stock options. These convertible units are not included in the diluted weighted average share count for GAAP purposes because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our 2011 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 sales of real estate, real estate acquisitions, real estate properties and development assets, long lived assets, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, goodwill, share based compensation and incentive awards, income tax, and discontinued operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no material changes to these policies. See Note 2 to the financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.
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 (excluding net capital gains) each year, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (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 acquisition expenses) and dividends to common stockholders. We have satisfied these requirements through cash generated from operations and from financing and investing activities.

As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately $31.3 million of cash and cash equivalents available. In addition, we had two revolving credit facilities providing for borrowings of up to $590.0 million of which $398.7 million was available to be drawn, subject to covenants contained in those facilities which may otherwise limit borrowings. As of June 30, 2012, we had drawn $101.0 million under our $575.0 million credit facility, which bore interest at 1.80% at such date, and had no borrowings outstanding under our $15.0 million credit facility.

We are actively searching for acquisition and joint venture opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. We have approximately $63.5 million in proposed acquisitions that we expect to close in the second half of 2012. These proposed transactions consist of the acquisition of a shopping center under contract in Connecticut for $36.0 million, which includes the assumption of $19.0 million of indebtedness, and a retail condominium in New York for $27.5 million, which includes the assumption of $16.8 million of indebtedness. These acquisitions are past the due diligence periods under the applicable purchase and sale agreements and, as such, aggregate deposits of $2.3 million are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in the contracts. Our available cash, revolving credit facilities, and cash from property dispositions will be used to fund these and other prospective acquisitions as well as our debt maturities and normal operating expenses.

Long-term liquidity requirements

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

An important component of our growth strategy is the redevelopment of properties within our portfolio and the development of new shopping centers. At June 30, 2012, we had invested approximately $135.4 million in development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate these projects will require an additional $103.2 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be expended over the next two years.

Historically, we have funded these requirements through a combination of sources that 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.

2012 liquidity events

While our availability under our lines of credit is sufficient to operate our business for the remainder of 2012, if we identify acquisition or redevelopment 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 six months ended June 30, 2012:
We closed on a $200.0 million unsecured term loan which matures in February 2019 and bears interest at an effective fixed rate of 3.46% per annum based on our current credit ratings and through the utilization of interest rate swaps;
We made a $19.3 million mezzanine loan investment indirectly secured by a shopping center which bears interest at 10.0% and has a maturity of nine years;
We acquired four operating properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $161.3 million;
We prepaid approximately $37.7 million in mortgage debt; and
We reduced the borrowings outstanding under our $575.0 million line of credit from approximately $138.0 million as of December 31, 2011 to $101.0 million as of June 30, 2012.

Additionally, on July 12, 2012, we increased the principal amount of the $200.0 million unsecured term loan to $250.0 million through the exercise of an accordion feature. In connection with the increase, we entered into an interest rate swap on the incremental $50.0 million in order to convert its LIBOR rate to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective weighted average fixed interest rate under the $250.0 million agreement of 3.37% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes.

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 $78.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to approximately $59.3 million in the 2011 period. The increase of $19.2 million is primarily attributable to cash from the operations of our properties and an increase in investment income.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $111.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with approximately $86.1 million for the same period in 2011. Investing activities during 2012 consisted primarily of: acquisitions of income producing properties for $161.3 million; additions to income producing properties of $10.7 million; additions to construction in progress of $36.4 million; $19.3 million related to an investment made in a mezzanine loan and investments in joint ventures of $6.6 million; partially offset by $33.2 million of proceeds related to the sale of real estate and rental properties and a decrease in cash held in escrow of $91.6 million. Cash used by investing activities for 2011 primarily consisted of: acquisitions of income producing properties for $100.5 million, net of debt assumed; additions to income producing properties and construction in progress of $14.2 million; and investment in joint ventures of $9.8 million; partially offset by $42.1 million of proceeds related to the sale of real estate and rental properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $53.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with approximately $17.8 million of net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2011. During 2012, cash was provided by borrowings under the new term loan of $200.0 million. The largest cash outflows for 2012 related to repayments of revolving credit facilities of $37.0 million, repayment of senior debt of $10.0 million, prepayments and repayments of $42.1 million in principal amount of mortgage debt, the payment of $50.1 million in dividends and $5.0 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests. In the prior year, cash used by financing activities was mainly attributable to repayments of $143.4 million in principal amount of mortgage debt, the payment of $48.7 million in dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests totaling $4.5 million. This increase was partially offset by the net cash proceeds of approximately $116.6 million from our equity offering and net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities of $63.5 million.

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
Joint Ventures: We consolidate entities in which we own less than a 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable-interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC. From time to time, we may have off-balance-sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.
As of June 30, 2012, we have investments in eight unconsolidated joint ventures in which our effective ownership interests range from 8.6% to 50.5%. All eight of these joint ventures have mortgage indebtedness. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities and therefore they are presently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For a more complete description of our joint ventures see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. At June 30, 2012, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including our partners’ shares, incurred by these ventures was approximately $246.2 million (of which our aggregate proportionate share is approximately $53.7 million). We have agreed to purchase the $18.5 million JV Loan at par (plus accrued interest) under certain circumstances (for a more complete description of this transaction please refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report), and we have agreed to customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) on certain mortgage loans incurred by the joint ventures. 
Reconsideration events could cause us to consolidate these joint ventures and partnerships in the future.  We evaluate reconsideration events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered are additional contributions required by each partner and each partners’ ability to make those contributions. Under certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are with entities which appear sufficiently stable to meet their capital requirements; however, if market conditions worsen and our partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities.  
Contingencies
Letters of Credit: As of June 30, 2012, we had pledged letters of credit having an aggregate face amount of $3.7 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 June 30, 2012, we have entered into construction commitments and have outstanding obligations to fund approximately $103.2 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: We are obligated under non-cancellable operating leases for office space, equipment rentals and ground leases on certain of our properties totaling $11.0 million.

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 would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Capital Recycling Initiatives
As part of our strategy to upgrade and diversify our portfolio and recycle our existing capital, we evaluate opportunities to sell assets or otherwise contribute assets to existing or new joint ventures with third parties. If the market values of these assets are below their carrying values, it is possible that the disposition or contribution of these assets could result in impairments or other losses. Depending on the prevailing market conditions and historical carrying values, these impairments and losses could be material. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized impairment losses of $1.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to two properties held for sale (one in the Southeast region and one in the South Florida region). See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding impairment losses.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning or 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 dry cleaning 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. 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 or at all, and any future equity financing could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, our business operations could be materially adversely affected. See Part I – Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Distributions
 
We believe that we currently qualify and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT under the 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.

51


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 may be 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.
 
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. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Because these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
 
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
general economic conditions, including current macro-economic challenges, 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 or delays in completing development or redevelopment projects or obtaining necessary approvals therefor;
inflationary, deflationary and other general economic trends;
the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural or man-made 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;
the impact of acquisitions and dispositions of properties and joint venture interests and expenses incurred by us in connection with our acquisition and disposition activity;
impairment charges related to changes in market values of our properties as well as those related to our disposition activity;
our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation; 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.

52


ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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 June 30, 2012, we had $101.0 million of floating rate debt outstanding under our unsecured revolving line of credit. Our unsecured revolving line of credit bears interest at applicable LIBOR plus 1.00% to 1.85%, depending on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes. Considering the total outstanding balance of $101.0 million, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to income before taxes of approximately $1.0 million per year.

The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2012, which includes the mortgage notes and the 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 $41.8 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $46.3 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed-rate debt remains at approximately $1.1 billion, the balance as of June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012, we had $200.0 million of floating rate debt outstanding under our term loan, which we have effectively converted to a fixed rate of interest through the use of interest rate swaps – see “Hedging Activities” below. The fair value of our term loan is $192.4 million as of June 30, 2012. If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total term loan would decrease by approximately $11.0 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total term loan would increase by approximately $11.8 million.

Hedging Activities
To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We require that the hedges or derivative financial instruments be effective in managing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as such at the inception of the contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, resulting in some ineffectiveness, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be included in earnings. Additionally, any derivative instrument used for risk management that becomes ineffective is marked-to-market each period and would be charged to operations.
In connection with the $200.0 million unsecured seven-year term loan that we closed on February 13, 2012, and the related $50.0 million term loan accordion exercise that we closed on July 12, 2012, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to convert the variable LIBOR rate under the term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing us an effective weighted average fixed interest rate on the term loan of 3.37% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes.
Other Market Risks
As of June 30, 2012 we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk).
In making this determination and for purposes of the SEC's market risk disclosure requirements, we have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments at June 30, 2012 based on pertinent information available to management as of that date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated amounts as of June 30, 2012, future estimates of fair value and the amounts which may be paid or realized in the future may differ significantly from amounts presented.

53


ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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 relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, 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 that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, 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 control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

54


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Neither we nor our properties are subject to any material litigation. We and our properties may be subject to routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business which, collectively, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or our cash flows.
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Part I – Item 1A, Risk Factors, describes important risk factors that could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes in such risk factors since December 31, 2011.
