Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Equity One, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “Equity One”), is hereby providing the fair value of its investment property as defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) IAS 40, “Investment Property” as of December 31, 2011 (which property consists of the Company’s income producing properties and properties held for development and sale). The Company has agreed to provide this information to Gazit-Globe Ltd. (“Gazit”), its major indirect stockholder, in connection with Gazit’s financial reports which are prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IFRS permits fair value accounting for Investment Property. In addition, in accordance with IFRS, the value of straight-line rent receivables, deferred costs and intangible assets and liabilities related to income-producing property are not presented separately since they are included within the fair values of income-producing property.

The Company recently completed a valuation review at December 31, 2011 to determine the fair value of its existing investment property portfolio. Fair value was determined using either the projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s assessment of the risk involved or by external appraisal. Based upon this review, Equity One determined that as of December 31, 2011, the fair value of its investment property was approximately $3.3 billion.

The determination of these values required management to make significant estimates and assumptions, and the actual values achieved in the event of any disposition of investment property may differ from the values incorporated into the fair value determination.

The shopping center in our portfolio with the highest fair value is the Serramonte Shopping Center located in Daly City, California with a value of approximately $239.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

In addition, the Company is hereby providing certain information that it has agreed to provide to Gazit in connection with Gazit’s financial reports which are prepared in accordance with IFRS, as required by the Disclosure Guideline Regarding Investment Property Activity issued in January 2011 by the Israel Security Authority (the “ISA Disclosure Guideline”). Some of this information is provided by geographical region, as defined by the ISA Disclosure Guideline. Our geographical regions for purposes of these disclosure requirements have been defined as: South Florida, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, as well as the FloridaTreasure Coast (consisting of Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, Naples, Jupiter, Stuart and Port St. Lucie); Southeast, which includes all of Florida (excluding South Florida), Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi; Northeast, which includes New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia; and West Coast, which includes Arizona and California. The disclosures include eight and two properties that are proportionally consolidated under IFRS in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
