Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops neighborhood and community shopping centers. As of September 30, 2010, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 189 properties, including 174 shopping centers consisting of approximately 19.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), four development or redevelopment properties, six non-retail properties and five land parcels held for development. As of September 30, 2010, our core portfolio, consisting of our shopping centers, was 89.9% leased and included national, regional and local tenants.

In addition to our consolidated properties, we have an ownership interest in two joint ventures which collectively own twelve neighborhood shopping centers and one office building totaling 1.9 million square feet of GLA, which we actively manage and lease. We also have passive joint venture ownership interests in two retail properties totaling 20,000 square feet of GLA.

We have a controlling interest in DIM Vastgoed, N.V. (“DIM”), through which we own 21 of our shopping centers, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2009. Until August 1, 2010, the ordinary shares of DIM were listed on the NYSE Euronext Stock Exchange in Amsterdam. During 2010, we increased our ownership of DIM to approximately 97.4%. On July 26, 2010, we filed a writ of summons with the Dutch Enterprise Chamber in Amsterdam initiating statutory squeeze-out proceedings with respect to the minority shares not owned by us. The results of DIM’s operations have been consolidated in our financial statements since January 14, 2009, the acquisition date of our controlling interest. A complete description of our interest in DIM is contained in Note 7 below.

Basis of Presentation

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

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

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited.  In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Construction in Progress and Land Held for Development

Our method of calculating capitalized interest is based upon applying our weighted-average borrowing rate to that portion of actual costs incurred. Total interest expense capitalized to construction in progress and land held for development was approximately $607,000 and $318,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Business Combinations

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

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

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

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

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

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

Long-lived Assets

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC.  There was no impairment loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed to tenants and accrued expense recoveries due from tenants.  We evaluate the probability of collection for these receivables and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect amounts estimated to be uncollectible.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $4.9 million and $4.5 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Securities

Our investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices.  Changes in the fair value of the securities investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, except other-than-temporary decreases in fair value, which are recognized immediately as a charge to earnings. We evaluate our investments in available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines each reporting period in accordance with the Investments-Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold 34,200 shares of another publicly traded REIT, which we held as an investment. We recognized a gain, net of transaction costs, of approximately $367,000, which is included in investment income in the accompanying statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we sold approximately 1.8 million shares of another publicly traded REIT, which we held as an investment. We recognized a gain, net of transaction costs, of approximately $6.3 million, which is included in investment income in the accompanying statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Goodwill

We are required to perform annual, or more frequently in certain circumstances, impairment tests of our goodwill. We did not recognize any material goodwill impairments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. We cannot predict the occurrence of future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled approximately $11.4 million at September 30, 2010.  Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our tenant base, or a materially negative change in our relationships with significant tenants.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Earnings Per Share

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

Income Taxes

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

We are subject to federal, state and local income tax laws to the extent of the activities conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We recorded an income tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $690,000 and $774,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These benefits are primarily attributable to the net operating losses generated by DIM. Although DIM is organized under the laws of the Netherlands, it pays U.S. corporate tax based on its operations in the United States. In 2009, DIM did not pay any U.S. income tax, which reflected the benefit of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) in previous years. As of September 30, 2010, DIM had NOLs of approximately $18.4 million remaining.

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

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

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

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

A concentration of credit risk arises in our business when a national or regionally-based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by us.  In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rental payments to us, exposing us to potential losses in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent.  Further, the impact may be magnified if the tenant is renting space in multiple locations.  Generally, we do not obtain security from our national or regionally-based tenants in support of their lease obligations to us.  We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.  As of September 30, 2010, Publix Super Markets accounted for approximately 11.4%, or approximately $24.3 million, of our aggregate annualized minimum rent.  No other tenant accounted for more than 4% of our annualized minimum rent.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic No. 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall.” ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The revised guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. ASU 2010-06 concerns disclosure only and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

As part of our strategy to upgrade and diversify our portfolio and recycle our 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 losses could be material.

The indentures under which our unsecured senior notes were issued have several covenants which limit our ability to incur debt, require us to maintain an unencumbered asset ratio above a specified level and limit our ability to consolidate, sell, lease, or convey substantially all of our assets to, or merge with, any other entity.  These notes have also been guaranteed by many of our subsidiaries.

In September 2010, we exercised an accordion feature under our revolving credit facility to increase the total unsecured commitment from $272.0 million to $400.0 million with a syndicate of banks.  Four new financial institutions provided commitments under the expanded facility with no modification to the terms and covenants, and several of the incumbent banks added to their previous commitments. The facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt limits, total liabilities, interest coverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratios, unencumbered properties and permitted investments which may limit the amount available under the facility. If a default under the facility exists, our ability to pay dividends would be limited to the amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT unless the default is a payment default or bankruptcy event in which case we would be prohibited from paying any dividends.  Additionally, we have a $15.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with City National Bank of Florida. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $32.0 million and $0, respectively, drawn against the credit facilities. The maximum availability under these credit facilities was approximately $203.5 million as of September 30, 2010, which is net of outstanding letters of credit of $3.5 million.

Noncontrolling Interest

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

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

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

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

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

During 2010, we reduced the amount of noncontrolling interest in DIM through the acquisition of 1,870,915 DIM ordinary shares through the combination of a cash tender offer and other open market and private purchases, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 97.4% at September 30, 2010.

The following table shows the effects on our equity resulting from the changes in our ownership interest in DIM for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Share-Based Payment Plans

As of September 30, 2010, we have options outstanding under our 2000 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of options, restricted stock and other share-based awards for up to 8.5 million shares of common stock, of which 1.4 million shares are available for issuance.  In addition, in connection with the initial employment of Jeffrey S. Olson, our chief executive officer, we issued Mr. Olson options to purchase 364,660 shares of common stock, which were not issued under the 2000 Plan.

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

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we granted 1.1 million shares of restricted stock that are subject to forfeiture and vest over periods from two to four years. The total vesting-date value of the 104,740 shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.8 million.

Included in the above restricted stock grants are 698,894 restricted shares awarded to Jeffrey S. Olson, our chief executive officer, on August 9, 2010 as part of his new employment agreement. Of this amount, 582,412 restricted shares (“Contingent Shares”) were issued under the 2000 Plan and are designed to vest if the total shareholder return of the Company over a four-year measurement period commencing on January 1, 2011 exceeds the average total shareholder return of a peer group of publicly traded retail property REITs, as well as an absolute return threshold.  All of the Contingent Shares will vest on December 31, 2014 (or such shorter time as provided in the employment agreement) if the total shareholder return of the Company for the measurement period both (1) exceeds the average total shareholder return of the peer group of companies by at least 300 basis points and (2) equals or exceeds 9%.  One-half of the Contingent Shares will vest on December 31, 2014 if the total shareholder return of the Company for the measurement period both (1) exceeds the average total shareholder return of the peer group of companies by at least 150 basis points and (2) equals or exceeds 6%. Mr. Olson must be employed by the Company on the vesting date. Mr. Olson will receive any dividends declared on the Contingent Shares over the measurement period and those dividends will not be forfeited by Mr. Olson if the Contingent Shares fail to vest.

The Contingent Shares were valued at approximately $4.5 million utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the performance vesting conditions being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation used the statistical formula underlying the Black-Scholes-Merton binomial formula. We recognize compensation expense for these awards over the requisite service period from August 9, 2010 through December 31, 2014.

Also included in the restricted stock grants are 380,000 shares awarded to our chairman as part of his chairman compensation agreement with us which was executed on August 9, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, we had $17.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options and restricted shares granted under our plans.  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.73 years.

Equity

During each of the first three quarters of 2010, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.22 per share on our common stock. These dividends were paid in March, June, and September 2010. The $0.22 per share dividend represents an annualized rate of $0.88 per share.

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

On May 5, 2010, we filed an amendment to our charter to increase our authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares. No change was made to our authorized preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares.

During 2010, we reduced the amount of noncontrolling interest in DIM through the acquisition of 1,870,915 DIM ordinary shares through the combination of a cash tender offer and other open market and private purchases, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 97.4% at September 30, 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

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

Fair Value Hierarchy

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

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

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

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

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Methods

Long term incentive plans.  We have two long-term incentive plans, one for four of our executives, and one for Jeffrey S. Olson, our chief executive officer. These long term incentive plans are based on our total stockholder return versus returns for six of our peer companies. The fair values of these plans are determined using the average trial-specific value of the awards eligible for grant under the plans 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 plans, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Debt securities. These securities are valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time to maturity, applicable market volatility factors, and current market and selling prices for the underlying debt instruments which are traded on the open market, even if not highly liquid. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, or can be derived from observable data.

11.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by us using available market information and appropriate valuation methods.  Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.  We have used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods:

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

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

Mortgage Notes Payable. The fair value estimated at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $580.0 million and $561.6 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loans using estimated market rates for similar mortgage loans and remaining terms. The carrying amount of these notes was approximately $517.3 million and $528.9 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Unsecured Senior Notes Payable.  The fair value estimated at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $740.1 million and $642.0 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 $688.3 million and $688.0 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The fair market value calculation of our debt, as of September 30, 2010 includes assumptions as to the effects that prevailing market conditions would have on existing secured or unsecured debt. The calculation uses a market rate spread over the risk free interest rate. This spread is determined by using the weighted average life to maturity coupled with loan-to-value considerations of the respective debt. Once determined, this market rate is used to discount the remaining debt service payments in an attempt to reflect the present value of this stream of cash flows. While the determination of the appropriate market rate is subjective in nature, recent market data gathered suggest that the composite rates used for mortgages and senior notes are consistent with current market trends.

12.
Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations.  The operation of dry cleaning and gas station facilities at our shopping centers are the principal environmental concerns. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor their operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs.  Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation; however, we have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties which limits our exposure to some of these conditions. We currently have one significant environmental remediation liability on our balance sheet related to our Westbury land acquisition. The capitalized cost associated with this acquisition comprised


EQUITY ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)

the purchase price and a preliminary estimate of the cost of environmental remediation for the site of $5.9 million, which was based on a range provided by third party environmental consultants. This range varied from $5.9 million to $8.4 million on an undiscounted basis, with no amount being more likely than any other at the time the study was performed. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.

13.
Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2010, we had pledged letters of credit totaling $3.5 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.

We have committed to fund approximately $806,000, based on current plans and estimates, to complete pending development and redevelopment projects. These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by the funds available under our credit facilities and available cash.

Certain of our properties are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $71,000. We have operating lease agreements for office space in which we have an annual obligation of approximately $360,000. Additionally, we have lease agreements for equipment rentals which have annual obligations of $97,000.

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business. However, we do not believe that any of the litigation outstanding as of September 30, 2010 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Probable Business Combination

Contribution Agreement

On May 23, 2010, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with Liberty International Holdings Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales (“LIH”), and Capital Shopping Centres PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“CSC”), pursuant to which we will acquire a majority ownership interest in C&C (US) No. 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CapCo”), through a joint venture with LIH. CapCo, which is currently wholly-owned by LIH, owns a portfolio of 15 properties in California totaling 2.6 million square feet, including Serramonte Shopping Center in Daly City, Plaza Escuela in Walnut Creek, The Willows Shopping Center in Concord, 222 Sutter Street in San Francisco, and The Marketplace Shopping Center in Davis. LIH and CSC are subsidiaries of Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC, a United Kingdom real estate investment trust.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and related transaction documents, at the closing LIH will contribute all of the outstanding shares of CapCo’s common stock to the joint venture in exchange for 10.9 million joint venture units, representing an approximate 23% interest in the joint venture, and we will contribute a shared appreciation promissory note to the joint venture in the amount of $600 million in exchange for an approximate 77% interest in the joint venture. In addition, at the closing, LIH will transfer and assign to us an outstanding promissory note of CapCo in the amount of $67 million in exchange for 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) is convertible into 10,000 shares of our common stock in certain circumstances, and (ii) subject to certain limitations, will entitle LIH to voting rights with respect to a number of shares of our common stock determined with reference to the number of joint venture units held by LIH from time to time.

The joint venture units to be received by LIH will be redeemable for cash or, at our option, our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The joint venture will assume approximately $330 million of mortgage debt, including its proportionate share of debt held by CapCo’s joint ventures, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011 and is subject to customary and other closing conditions.

Equityholders Agreement

Subsequent Events

Pursuant to the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC, we have reviewed all subsequent events and transactions that occurred after our September 30, 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date through the time of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.


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

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

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

Executive Overview

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

Our Portfolio.  As of September 30, 2010, our consolidated property portfolio comprised 189 properties, including 174 shopping centers consisting of approximately 19.5 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, four development or redevelopment properties, six non-retail properties, and five land parcels held for development. As of September 30, 2010, our core portfolio, consisting of our shopping centers, was 89.9% leased and included national, regional, and local tenants.

In addition to our consolidated properties, we have an ownership interest in two joint ventures which collectively own twelve neighborhood shopping centers and one office building totaling 1.9 million square feet of GLA, which we actively manage and lease. We also have passive joint venture ownership interests in two retail properties totaling 20,000 square feet of GLA.

We have a controlling interest in DIM Vastgoed, N.V. (“DIM”), through which we own 21 of our shopping centers, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2009. Until August 1, 2010, the ordinary shares of DIM were listed on the NYSE Euronext Stock Exchange in Amsterdam. During 2010, we increased our ownership of DIM to approximately 97.4%.  On July 26, 2010, we filed a writ of summons with the Dutch Enterprise Chamber in Amsterdam initiating statutory squeeze-out proceedings with respect to the minority shares not owned by us. The results of DIM’s operations have been consolidated in our financial statements since January 14, 2009, the acquisition date of our controlling interest. A complete description of our interest in DIM is contained in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Outlook and Business Strategy. The economic downturn in 2009 and 2010 has affected and continues to affect our business.  While the economy in many of our markets has made some modest improvements, macro-economic challenges have impacted many retailers and continue to impact the retail sales of many regional and local tenants in some of our markets. These challenges have continued to adversely affect many of our tenants, particularly those tenants that sell goods or provide services that tend to be more discretionary in nature.  As a result, tenants have requested rent adjustments and abatements, while other tenants have not been able to continue in business at all.  We have observed that small shop tenants (those occupying less than 10,000 square feet) have been particularly vulnerable as they have faced both declining sales and reduced access to capital. We have responded to these challenges by undertaking intensive leasing efforts, negotiating reductions in certain recoverable expenses from our vendors, and making case-by-case assessments of rent relief based on the financial and operating strength of our tenants.  These macro-economic trends have made it more difficult for us to achieve our objectives of growing our business through internal rent increases, re-cycling capital from lower-tiered assets into higher quality properties, and growing our asset management business.

Notwithstanding the struggling economy, we are actively seeking to expand our portfolio, specifically seeking to expand our asset base to coastal constrained markets in California, Boston, Connecticut, and New York as well as our existing markets in Florida. We seek markets with very strong demographic characteristics with barriers to entry.

While we continue to see improvements in the capital and credit markets, the persistence of a consumer-led economic slowdown has negatively affected net operating income. As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, our same property net operating income declined 0.6% to $35.8 million as compared to $36.0 million for the same period in 2009 and rent spreads on a same-space cash basis for new leases declined 1.2% and renewals declined 3.3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our same property net operating income declined 1.6% to $108.8 million as compared to $110.6 million for the same period in 2009. Additionally, economic occupancy for our core shopping center portfolio decreased to 89.9% as of September 30, 2010 as compared to 90.3% at December 31, 2009.


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

 
·
the acquisition of three shopping centers located in Florida  representing an aggregate of approximately 351,788 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $64.6 million;

 
·
the acquisition of a fee interest in a retail condominium in New York with 25,350 square feet of GLA for a purchase price of $21.0 million;

 
·
the increase of commitments under our unsecured revolving credit facility from $272.0 million to $400.0 million by exercising the facility’s accordion feature and adding four new banks to the facility;

 
·
55 new leases totaling 116,007 square feet at an average rental rate of $14.28 per square foot as compared to the prior in-place average rent of $14.45 per square foot, on a same space basis; and

 
·
the renewal and extension of 90 leases totaling 244,046 square feet with an average rental rate of $15.26 per square foot as compared to the prior in–place average rent of $15.78, on a same space basis.

In addition to the above, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the execution of our business strategy resulted in:

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

 
·
the acquisition of approximately 2.6 million ordinary shares of DIM through a tender offer and other purchases bringing our ownership to 97.4% as of September 30, 2010;

 
·
the acquisition of three shopping centers located in Florida and Connecticut representing an aggregate of approximately 259,216 square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $53.1 million;

 
·
the sale of four outparcels in Florida for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million resulting in a net gain of $1.7 million;

 
·
the repayment of approximately $61.2 million in mortgages;

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

 
·
the execution of a contract to acquire C&C (US) No.1, Inc. (“CapCo”), through a joint venture with its parent company.

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 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.

Total revenue increased by $4.8 million, or 7.1%, to $71.5 million in 2010 from $66.7 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $5.8 million associated with properties acquired in 2009 and 2010; and

 
·
an increase of approximately $165,000 related to the completion of various development and redevelopment projects; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in same-property revenue due primarily to lower minimum rent income and decreased small shop occupancy which also has the effect of lowering rental expense recoveries.

Property operating expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 5.6%, to $20.6 million in 2010 from $19.5 million in 2009.  The increase primarily consists of the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $1.7 million associated primarily with properties acquired in 2009 and in 2010; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $700,000 in property operating costs primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense and  lower real estate tax expense due to tax refunds received in 2010.

Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $1.5 million, or 9.6%, to $16.9 million in 2010 from $15.4 million in 2009.  The increase was primarily related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2009 and in 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 25.4%, to $9.7 million in 2010 from $7.8 million in 2009.  The increase in 2010 was primarily related to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $2.3 million in acquisition costs related to properties acquired during 2010 as well as higher professional fees related to the proposed CapCo transaction and the exploration of other potential acquisitions;


 
·
an increase of approximately $624,000 due to: (1) additional headcount, in part, to manage the DIM properties for which we assumed management responsibilities effective January 1, 2010; (2) executive compensation returning to 2008 levels following the voluntary 10% salary reductions taken during 2009; and (3) an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense due to the restricted stock grants issued to our CEO in connection with his new employment agreement; and

 
·
an increase of approximately $145,000 associated with severance and severance related costs; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $725,000 due to the decline in the fair value of a liability related to a long term cash incentive plan; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $340,000 related to legal, consulting and other costs associated with our acquisition of DIM in 2009.

Investment income decreased by $6.7 million, or 99.4%, to $39,000 for 2010 from $6.8 million in 2009.  The decrease was primarily related to a $6.3 million gain associated with the sale of equity securities in 2009 and dividend and interest income related to other equity investments and debt securities that we owned in 2009. No comparable amounts are included in the 2010 period.

Equity in loss in unconsolidated joint ventures was a net loss of approximately $64,000 in 2010 compared to a net loss of $9,000 in 2009. The net loss represents our pro rata share of our joint ventures’ operating results, which declined as a result of generally lower leasing activity.

Other income decreased by approximately $276,000 to $49,000 in 2010 compared to $325,000 in 2009. The decrease is primarily due to approximately $290,000 in income related to insurance proceeds in 2009 for tornado damage to a property in South Carolina.

Interest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 7.8%, to $19.1 million for 2010 from $17.7 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $4.0 million primarily associated with our of 6.25% unsecured senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2009; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $2.2 million of interest expense related to the repayment of certain mortgages in 2009 and 2010;

 
·
a decrease of approximately $290,000 associated with higher capitalized interest in 2010 related to our development projects; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $100,000 related to lower average balances on our lines of credit.

Amortization of deferred financing fees increased by approximately $110,000 to approximately $479,000 in 2010 compared to $369,000 in 2009. The increase is mainly due to fees associated with the 6.25% senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The $186,000 loss on sale of real estate was primarily related to the disposition of an undeveloped land parcel which generated cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.

We recorded net income tax benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $690,000 and $774,000, respectively. At September 30, 2010, DIM accounts for approximately $700,000 in tax benefits and $200,000 in tax benefits were recognized by our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRSs”) in respect of their losses. These benefits were offset by a provision of approximately $200,000 related to an accrual for a state income tax liability.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, there was no income derived from our discontinued operations compared to approximately $795,000 in 2009. During 2009, we sold two ground lease outparcels and one operating property generating a net gain of $580,000 and recorded $215,000 in net operating income related to discontinued operations.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $9.6 million, or 65.3%, to $5.1 million for the third quarter ended 2010, compared to net income of $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Total revenue increased by $9.9 million, or 4.9%, to $212.9 million in 2010 from $203.0 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $14.9 million associated with properties acquired in 2009 and 2010; and

 
·
an increase of approximately $470,000 related to the completion of various development and redevelopment projects; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $5.0 million in same-property revenue due primarily to lower minimum rent income and decreased small shop occupancy which also has the effect of lowering rental expense recoveries; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $200,000 in leasing and management fee income due to lower leasing activity at our joint ventures.

Property operating expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 4.4%, to $60.6 million in 2010 from $58.1 million in 2009.  The increase primarily consists of the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $4.7 million associated with properties acquired in 2009 and 2010; and

 
·
an increase of approximately $600,000 related to the completion of various development and redevelopment projects; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $2.6 million in property operating costs primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense, lower common area maintenance costs, and lower real estate tax expense mainly due to tax refunds received in 2010.

Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $4.5 million, or 9.8%, to $50.0 million for 2010 from $45.6 million in 2009. The increase was primarily related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2009 and 2010.


General and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 8.8%, to $31.6 million for 2010 from $29.0 million in 2009.  The increase in 2010 was primarily related to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $6.6 million in acquisition costs related to properties acquired during 2010, as well as higher professional fees related to the proposed CapCo transaction and the exploration of other potential acquisitions;

 
·
an increase of approximately $1.0 million due to: (1) additional headcount, in part, to manage the DIM properties for which we assumed management responsibilities effective January 1, 2010; (2) higher leasing costs due to lower capitalizable leasing efforts; and (3) executive compensation returning to 2008 levels following the voluntary 10% salary reduction taken during 2009; offset by

a decrease of approximately $3.0 million related to lower severance costs in 2010;

 
·
a decrease of approximately $1.1 million related to legal, consulting, and other costs associated with our acquisition of DIM in 2009;

 
·
a decrease of approximately $725,000 due to the decline in the fair value of a liability related to a long term cash incentive plan; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $155,000 due to lower office and rent expenses related to cost reduction efforts and the closing of our California offices in 2009.

Investment income decreased by $9.3 million, or 93.2%, to $687,000 for 2010 from $10.0 million in 2009.  The decrease was primarily related to the following:

 
·
a decrease of approximately $5.9 million primarily associated with gains realized from the disposition of equity securities in 2009;

 
·
a decrease of approximately $2.7 million related to interest earned on debt securities held in 2009 and disposed of prior to 2010; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $953,000 related to dividends from several equity investments held during 2009 and disposed of prior to 2010; offset by
 
 
·
an increase of $200,000 in interest related to higher cash balances.

Equity in loss in unconsolidated joint ventures was a net loss of approximately $147,000 in 2010 compared to a net loss of $37,000 in 2009. The net loss represents our pro rata share of our joint ventures’ operating results, which declined as a result of generally lower leasing activity.

Other income decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 85.5%, in the 2010 period compared to 2009. The decrease is primarily due to approximately $1.1 million in income related to insurance proceeds received in 2009 for tornado damage to a property in South Carolina.

Interest expense increased by $2.9 million, or 5.3%, to $58.4 million for 2010 from $55.4 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to the following:

 
·
an increase of approximately $10.0 million primarily associated with our 6.25% unsecured senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2009; offset by

 
·
a decrease of approximately $5.9 million of interest expense related to the repayment of certain mortgages in 2009 and 2010;

 
·
a decrease of approximately $663,000 associated with higher capitalized interest in 2010 related to our development projects; and

 
·
a decrease of approximately $425,000 related to lower average balances on our lines of credit.


Amortization of deferred financing fees increased by approximately $244,000 to approximately $1.4 million in 2010 compared to $1.1 million in 2009. The increase is mainly due to fees associated with the 6.25% senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2009.

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

The $186,000 loss on sale of real estate was related to the disposition of an undeveloped land parcel which generated cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we repaid approximately $61.2 million principal amount of our mortgages and recognized a net gain from early extinguishment of debt of approximately $63,000. During the same period in 2009, we repurchased and canceled approximately $44.2 million principal amount of our senior notes and recognized a net gain from early extinguishment of debt of approximately $12.4 million.

We recorded net income tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010, DIM accounted for approximately $2.3 million of these tax benefits and approximately $400,000 in tax benefits were from our TRSs. The increase in tax benefit was primarily attributable to outparcel sales generating a tax provision in the first quarter of 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our discontinued operations resulted in net income of approximately $2.0 million compared to approximately $6.3 million in 2009. In the current period, we sold two ground lease outparcels at two of our income producing properties and two land outparcels generating a net gain of $1.9 million and recorded $81,000 in net operating income related to discontinued operations. During the same period in 2009, we sold seven ground lease outparcels and one income producing property generating a net gain of $5.4 million and recorded $885,000 in net operating income related to discontinued operations.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $56.8 million, or 77.9%, from $73.0 million in 2009 to $16.1 million in 2010.

Funds From Operations

We believe Funds from Operations (“FFO”) (when combined with the primary GAAP presentations) is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry and, in particular, REITs.  The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations,  “Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves”.

FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures”.  It states further that “adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis”.  We believe that financial analysts, investors and stockholders are better served by the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from our FFO measure.  Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Critical Accounting Policies

Our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, recognition of gains from the sale of real estate, business acquisitions, real estate acquisitions, real estate properties and development assets, long lived assets, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, securities, goodwill, share based compensation and incentive awards, income tax, and discontinued operations.  For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, there were no material changes to these policies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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


Short-term liquidity requirements

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

As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $747,000 of cash and cash equivalents available. At that date, we had two revolving credit facilities providing for borrowings of up to $415.0 million of which $203.5 million was available to be drawn. In September 2010, we exercised the accordion feature under our line to increase the total unsecured commitment from $272.0 million to $400.0 million with a syndicate of banks.  Four new financial institutions provided commitments under the expanded facility with no modification to the terms and covenants, and several of the incumbent banks added to their previous commitment.

For the remainder of 2010, we have no debt maturities other than normal recurring principal payment installments. Our available cash and credit facilities will be used to fund prospective acquisitions and our normal operating and capital expenses. Additionally, we are actively searching for acquisition and joint venture opportunities that may require or provide additional capital and/or liquidity.

We have also recently announced our intention to acquire CapCo. A complete description of this proposed transaction is contained in Probable Business Combinations below.

Long-term liquidity requirements

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

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

2010 liquidity events

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

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 year:

 
·
We increased the commitments under our unsecured revolving credit facility from $227.0 million to $400.0 million by exercising the facility’s accordion feature in January and September and collectively added six new banks to the facility;

 
·
We sold four outparcels generating net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million and resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $1.7 million;

 
·
We acquired $138.7 million in operating properties, which included approximately $56.7 million in secured debt (40.9% leveraged in total);

 
·
We repaid approximately $61.2 million in secured mortgage debt prior to maturity; and

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


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

                   
   
Nine Months Ended
 
   
September 30,
 
   
2010
   
2009
   
Increase (Decrease)

Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 67,547     $ 66,160     $ 1,387  
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities
  $ (112,091 )   $ 125,421     $ (237,512 )
Net cash used in financing activities
  $ (2,679 )   $ (184,161 )   $ 181,482  
                         

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 $67.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to approximately $66.2 million in the 2009 period. The increase is attributable to an increase in cash provided by our operating properties and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by cash decreases related to lower investment income due to interest earned on debt securities held in 2009 and increased interest expense related to higher debt balances in 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $112.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with approximately $125.4 million provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Investing activities during the current period consisted of acquisitions of seven properties for $82.0 million, net of debt assumed, additions to income producing properties, land held for development, and construction in progress of $15.6 million, as well as investments in our consolidated subsidiary, DIM of $13.4 million. Cash provided by investing activities for 2009 comprised $152.0 million of cash inflows primarily associated with the sale of investment securities offset by cash used for additions to income producing properties and construction in progress of $15.1 million and to purchase additional investment securities for $10.9 million.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with approximately $184.2 million net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2009. Financing activities during the current period consisted of the proceeds from issuance of common stock of $100.0 million, offset by cash used to pay dividends in the amount of $61.0 million and cash used to pay mortgages in the amount of $71.4 million.  Cash used in financing activities for 2009 consisted of the proceeds from issuance of common stock of $132.5 million, offset by cash used to pay dividends in the amount of $75.0 million and cash used to repay mortgages, our senior debt and our revolving credit facilities in the amount of $232.0 million.

(1) Amounts represent balance of obligation for the remainder of 2010.
(2) Amounts represent obligations for 2011 and 2012.
 
Our debt level could subject us to various risks, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that the resulting reduction in financial flexibility could inhibit our ability to develop or improve our rental properties, withstand downturns in our rental income, or take advantage of business opportunities.  In addition, because we currently anticipate that only a portion of the principal of our indebtedness will be repaid prior to maturity, it is expected that it will be necessary to refinance the majority of our debt.  Accordingly, there is a risk that such indebtedness will not be able to be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our current indebtedness.  If the credit rating agencies that rate our unsecured corporate debt reduce our credit rating, the future costs of unsecured borrowings could increase significantly, including the interest rates that would be applicable under our unsecured credit facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit:  As of September 30, 2010, we have pledged letters of credit for $3.5 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 September 30, 2010, we have entered into construction commitments and have outstanding obligations to fund $806,000, based on current plans and estimates, in order to complete pending development and redevelopment projects.  These obligations, comprising principally construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by funds available under our credit facilities and available cash.

Operating Lease Obligations:  Certain of our properties are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $71,000. We have operating lease agreements for office space in which we have an annual obligation of approximately $360,000. Additionally, we have lease agreements for equipment rentals which have annual obligations of $97,000.

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

Other than the obligations described above and items disclosed in the Contractual Obligations Table, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2010 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, capital expenditures or capital resources.


Probable Business Combination

Contribution Agreement

On May 23, 2010, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") with Liberty International Holdings Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales (“LIH”), and Capital Shopping Centres PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“CSC”), pursuant to which we will acquire a majority ownership interest in C&C (US) No. 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CapCo”), through a joint venture with LIH. CapCo, which is currently wholly-owned by LIH, owns a portfolio of 15 properties in California totaling 2.6 million square feet, including Serramonte Shopping Center in Daly City, Plaza Escuela in Walnut Creek, The Willows Shopping Center in Concord, 222 Sutter Street in San Francisco, and The Marketplace Shopping Center in Davis. LIH and CSC are subsidiaries of Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC, a United Kingdom real estate investment trust.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and related transaction documents, at the closing LIH will contribute all of the outstanding shares of CapCo’s common stock to the joint venture in exchange for 10.9 million joint venture units, representing an approximate 23% interest in the joint venture, and we will contribute a shared appreciation promissory note to the joint venture in the amount of $600 million in exchange for an approximate 77% interest in the joint venture. In addition, at the closing, LIH will transfer and assign to us an outstanding promissory note of CapCo in the amount of $67 million in exchange for 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) is convertible into 10,000 shares of our common stock in certain circumstances, and (ii) subject to certain limitations, will entitle LIH to voting rights with respect to a number of shares of our common stock determined with reference to the number of joint venture units held by LIH from time to time.

The joint venture units to be received by LIH will be redeemable for cash or, at our option, our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The joint venture will assume approximately $330 million of mortgage debt, including its proportionate share of debt held by CapCo’s joint ventures, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%.

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011 and is subject to customary and other closing conditions.

Equityholders Agreement

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, we entered into an Equityholders Agreement, dated May 23, 2010, among us, CSC, LIH, Gazit-Globe Ltd. (“Gazit”), MGN (USA) Inc., Gazit (1995), Inc., MGN America, LLC, Silver Maple (2001), Inc. and Ficus, Inc. Pursuant to the Equityholders Agreement, we will increase the size of our board of directors by one seat, effective at the time of closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, and appoint a designee of CSC to the board. Subject to its continuing to hold a minimum number of shares of our common stock (on a fully diluted basis), CSC will subsequently have the right to nominate one candidate for election to our board of directors at each annual meeting of our stockholders at which directors are elected.

In addition, the Equityholders Agreement provides that we, and then Gazit and its affiliates, will have a right of first offer with respect to proposed sales by LIH of any of its joint venture units and that Gazit and its affiliates will have a right of first offer with respect to proposed sales by LIH of any shares of our capital stock. We will also have a right of first refusal with respect to any joint venture units proposed to be sold by LIH to one of our competitors.

Equity

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

During 2010, we reduced the amount of noncontrolling interest in DIM through the acquisition of 1,870,915 DIM ordinary shares through the combination of a cash tender offer and other open market and private purchases. We also issued 536,601 shares of our common stock in exchange for 766,573 DIM ordinary shares, increasing our ownership percentage to approximately 97.4% at September 30, 2010.

Environmental Matters

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


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 losses could be material.

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, 2009.

 Distributions

We believe that we currently qualify and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders.  As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While we intend to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, we also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as we consider necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of our real estate and other corporate purposes, while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT.

Inflation and Economic Condition Considerations

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

Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain “forward-looking statements” for purposes of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance.

All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements, and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “might,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “forecast,” “target,” “plan,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other variations or comparable terminology, are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Because these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from 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 the current recession, competition and the supply of and demand for shopping center properties in our markets;

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

 
·
interest rate levels and the availability of financing;

 
·
potential environmental liability and other risks associated with the ownership, development and acquisition of shopping center properties;

 
·
greater than anticipated construction or operating costs;

 
·
inflationary, deflationary and other general economic trends;

 
·
the effects of hurricanes and other natural and 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;

 
·
impairment charges; and

 
·
other risks detailed from time to time in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Interest Rate Risk

The primary market risk to which we have exposure is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect our net income and cash flows. As changes in market conditions occur and interest rates increase or decrease, interest expense on the variable component of our debt will move in the same direction.  We intend to utilize variable-rate indebtedness available under our unsecured revolving credit facilities in order to initially fund future acquisitions, development costs and other operating needs.  With respect to our fixed rate mortgage notes and senior unsecured notes, changes in interest rates generally do not affect our interest expense as these notes are at fixed rates for extended terms. Because we have the intent to hold our existing fixed-rate debt either to maturity or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes pose an interest rate risk to our results of operations and our working capital position only upon the refinancing of that indebtedness. Our possible risk is from increases in long-term interest rates that may occur as this may increase our cost of refinancing maturing fixed-rate debt. In addition, we may incur prepayment penalties or defeasance costs when prepaying or defeasing secured debt.

As of September 30, 2010, we had $32.0 million of floating rate debt under our unsecured revolving line of credit.

The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2010, which includes the mortgage notes and fixed-rate portion of the senior unsecured notes payable.  If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed-rate debt would decrease by approximately $55.4 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $59.0 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed-rate debt remains at approximately $1.2 billion, the balance as of September 30, 2010.

Hedging Activities

As of September 30, 2010, we had not entered into any hedging activity.

Other Market Risks

As of September 30, 2010, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk).


ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have

materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

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

ITEM 4.   (REMOVED AND RESERVED)

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On November 8, 2010, Equity One, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Amendment to Contribution Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Liberty International Holdings Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of England and Wales (“LIH”), and Capital Shopping Centres plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“CSC”), amending the Contribution Agreement, dated May 23, 2010, by and among such parties (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”).  As previously announced, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and related transaction documents, the Company will acquire a majority ownership interest in C&C (US) No. 1, Inc. (“CapCo”) through a joint venture with LIH.  The material revisions reflected in the Amendment are as follows:


 
unless the Contribution Agreement is sooner terminated or extended pursuant to its terms, the closing shall take place on January 4, 2011, subject to the satisfaction, or to the extent permitted the wavier, of the closing conditions; and

 
the parties agreed that the mortgage loan on the Serramonte Shopping Center will be re-paid by the Company simultaneously with the closing of the transaction in exchange for additional units in the joint venture.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, the Company entered into an Equityholders Agreement, dated May 23, 2010, among the Company, CSC and certain other parties signatory thereto.  Pursuant to the Equityholders Agreement, the Company agreed to increase the size of the Board by one seat, effective at the Commencement Date, and appoint a designee of CSC to the Board.  Subject to continuing to hold a minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock, CSC will subsequently have the right to nominate one candidate for election to the Board at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are elected.

On November 2, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed David Fischel, the designee of CSC, effective as of closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (the “Commencement Date”), as a Director of the Company to serve until the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.  Mr. Fischel is not currently expected to serve on any committees of the Board.

Mr. Fischel has served as Chief Executive of Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC (“CSC Group”), the parent company of CSC, since March 2001. He was appointed Non-executive Director of Capital & Counties Properties PLC on its demerger from CSC Group in May 2010.

Upon joining the Board, Mr. Fischel will receive the same compensation as is paid to other directors of the Company.  Additionally, in connection with Mr. Fischel’s appointment to the Board, the Company and Mr. Fischel will enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the same form as the Company has entered into with each of the Company’s existing directors.

In connection with the appointment, the Board also changed the size of the Board to 10 directors, effective as of the Commencement Date.
