Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Equity One, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is hereby providing the fair value of its investment property in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 13, "Fair Value Measurement," and International Accounting Standard 40, "Investment Property," as of December 31, 2014. As announced previously, 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 International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
IFRS permit fair value accounting for investment property, which includes property held for development and for sale. 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 as of December 31, 2014 to determine the fair value of its existing investment property portfolio. Based upon this review, the Company determined that, as of December 31, 2014, the fair value of its investment property was approximately $4.1 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 noted above.
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: (1) South Florida - including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties; (2) North Florida - including all of Florida north of Palm Beach County; (3) Southeast - including Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia; (4) Northeast - including Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York; and (5) West Coast - California.
The following information has been provided to Gazit in connection with the ISA Disclosure Guideline and includes one property that is accounted for as a joint operation under IFRS and proportionally consolidated. Investment property held in joint ventures, as defined under IFRS, was excluded.
