EQUITY ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops shopping centers and retail properties located primarily in supply constrained suburban and urban communities. We were organized as a Maryland corporation in 1992, completed our initial public offering in 1998, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT since 1995.
As of June 30, 2016, our portfolio comprised 122 properties, including 97 retail properties and five non-retail properties totaling approximately 12.2 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, 14 development or redevelopment properties with approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA, and six land parcels. As of June 30, 2016, our retail occupancy excluding developments and redevelopments was 96.3% and included national, regional and local tenants. Additionally, we had joint venture interests in six retail properties and two office buildings totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Equity One, Inc. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the "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 condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements included in our 2015 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, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2016.
2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements (Accounting Standards Update or "ASU") that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

Standards that are not yet adopted
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
 
The standard amends the existing guidance and impacts how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. Depending on the instrument, the standard requires a modified-retrospective or prospective transition approach.
 
January 2020
 
We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
 
The standard simplifies several aspects of the existing guidance for accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. Depending on the specific amendment, the standard requires prospective, retrospective or a modified retrospective transition approach.
 
January 2017
 
We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
 
The standard amends the existing guidance and eliminates diversity in practice in assessing embedded contingent call (put) options in debt instruments. The standard clarifies that an entity performing this assessment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence within the guidance. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective.
 
January 2017
 
We do not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
 
The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.
 
January 2019
 
We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
The standard amends the guidance to classify equity securities with readily-determinable fair values into different categories and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The standard requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Equity investments accounted for under the equity method are not included in the scope of this amendment. Early adoption of this amendment is not permitted.
 
January 2018
 
We do not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12.
 
The standard will replace existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.

3.    Acquisition and Disposition Activity
On June 30, 2016, we acquired Walmart at Norwalk, a 142,222 square foot property located in Norwalk, Connecticut, for $30.0 million. The property was acquired through a reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary. See Note 5 for further discussion.
The purchase price of the above property acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with our accounting policies for business combinations. The purchase price and related accounting will be finalized after our valuation studies are complete.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not recognize any material measurement period adjustments related to prior or current year acquisitions.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we expensed transaction-related costs in connection with completed or pending property acquisitions of $615,000 and $709,000, respectively, and $178,000 and $313,000 for the same periods in 2015, respectively, which are included in general and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

As part of our strategy to upgrade and diversify our portfolio and recycle our capital, we have sold or are in the process of selling certain properties that no longer meet our investment objectives. Although our pace of disposition activity has slowed, we will selectively explore future opportunities to sell additional properties which are located outside of our target markets or which have relatively limited prospects for revenue growth. While we have not committed to a disposition plan with respect to these assets, we may consider disposing of such properties if pricing is deemed to be favorable. If the market values of these assets are below their carrying values, it is possible that the disposition of these assets could result in impairments or other losses. Depending on the prevailing market conditions and historical carrying values, these impairments and losses could be material.

______________________________________________ 
(1) All unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method except for the Madison 2260 Realty LLC and Madison 1235 Realty LLC joint ventures, which are accounted for under the cost method.
(2) The investment balance as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is presented net of a deferred gain of approximately $376,000 associated with the disposition of assets by us to the joint venture.
(3) In February 2015, we entered into a joint venture to explore a potential development opportunity in the Northeast. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amount of our investment reflects our maximum exposure to loss related to our investment in the joint venture.
Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $600,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and totaled $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2015. Management fees and leasing fees earned by us associated with these joint ventures, which are included in management and leasing services revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, totaled $196,000 and $499,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and totaled $631,000 and $1.2 million for the same periods in 2015, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate carrying amount of the debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was $145.2 million and $146.2 million, respectively, of which our aggregate proportionate share was $43.6 million and $43.9 million, respectively.
5.    Variable Interest Entity

In conjunction with the acquisition of Walmart at Norwalk, we entered into a reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary, which, for a maximum of 180 days, allows us to defer for tax purposes, gains on the sale of other properties identified and sold within this period. Until the earlier of the termination of the exchange agreement or 180 days after the acquisition date, the third party intermediary is the legal owner of the entity that owns the property. The agreement that governs the operations of this entity provides us with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The entity was deemed a VIE primarily because it may not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the

11



VIE as a result of having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, as well as the right to receive benefits, that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Accordingly, we consolidated the property and its operations as of the acquisition date.
The majority of the operations of the VIE are funded with cash flows generated from the property. We did not provide financial support to the VIE which we were not previously contractually required to provide, and our contractual commitments consisted primarily of funding any capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, which were deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls that the entity may have experienced.

7.    Borrowings
Mortgage Notes Payable
As of June 30, 2016, the weighted average interest rate (based on contractual rates and excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and premium/discount) of our mortgage notes payable was 5.05%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we prepaid, without penalty, three mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $44.0 million and an aggregate weighted average interest rate of 6.08%.
In June 2016, in order to effectuate a substitution of collateral, we repaid a mortgage loan having a principal balance of $10.6 million and an interest rate of 5.01% secured by Talega Village Center. Concurrently, with the repayment of the Talega Village Center mortgage loan, we entered into a new mortgage loan secured by Circle Center West which carries the same terms as the previous Talega Village Center mortgage loan.
In January 2016, we entered into a mortgage note payable for $88.0 million secured by Westbury Plaza located in Nassau County, New York. The mortgage note payable matures on February 1, 2026 and bears interest at 3.76% per annum.
Unsecured Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2016, the weighted average interest rate (based on contractual rates and excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, premium/discount, and deferred losses on settled interest rate swaps) of our unsecured senior notes was 4.27%.
In June 2016, we issued a notice of redemption of our 6.00% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $117.0 million and were scheduled to mature in September 2017, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest, and a required make-whole premium of $7.0 million. In connection with the redemption in July 2016, we expect to recognize a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.3 million, which is comprised of the aforementioned make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes.


12


In April 2016, we entered into a note purchase agreement for the issuance of $200.0 million of two series of senior unsecured notes payable. In May 2016, we completed a private placement of 3.81% series A senior unsecured notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $100.0 million that mature in May 2026. On August 11, 2016, we expect to issue 3.91% series B senior unsecured notes payable due 2026 in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. Our obligations under the notes payable are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. We may prepay the notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such notes payable plus a make-whole premium.

In February 2016, we redeemed our 6.25% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $101.4 million and were scheduled to mature in January 2017, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest, and a required make-whole premium of $5.0 million. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million, which was comprised of the aforementioned make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
Our revolving credit facility is with a syndicate of banks, provides $600.0 million of unsecured revolving credit, and can be increased through an accordion feature up to an aggregate of $900.0 million, subject to bank participation. The facility bears interest at applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.550% per annum and includes a facility fee applicable to the aggregate lending commitments thereunder which varies from 0.125% to 0.300% per annum, both depending on the credit ratings of our unsecured senior notes. As of June 30, 2016, the interest rate margin applicable to amounts outstanding under the facility was 1.05% per annum, and the facility fee was 0.20% per annum. As of June 30, 2016, we had drawn $51.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at a weighted average rate of 1.51% per annum. As of December 31, 2015, we had drawn $96.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at a weighted average rate of 1.47% per annum. The facility expires on December 31, 2018, with two six-month extensions at our option, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2016, giving effect to the financial covenants applicable to the credit facility, the maximum available to us thereunder was approximately $600.0 million, less outstanding borrowings of $51.0 million and letters of credit with an aggregate face amount of $1.5 million.
Term Loans and Interest Rate Swaps
We have an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility pursuant to which we may borrow up to the principal amount of $300.0 million in aggregate in one or more borrowings at any time prior to December 2, 2016 and which has a maturity date of December 2, 2020. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had drawn $225.0 million against the facility.
At times, we use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk. In this regard, we enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into such instruments for speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had three interest rate swaps which convert the LIBOR rate applicable to our $250.0 million term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing an effective weighted average fixed interest rate under the loan agreement of 2.62% per annum. The interest rate swaps are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges and have been recorded at fair value. The interest rate swap agreements mature on February 13, 2019, which is the maturity date of the term loan. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a liability of $5.6 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of one of our interest rate swaps consisted of an asset of $217,000, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, while the fair value of the two remaining interest rate swaps consisted of a liability of $2.0 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $2.5 million as an increase to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2015, we had entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million to mitigate the risk of adverse fluctuations in interest rates with respect to fixed rate indebtedness expected to be issued in 2016. The forward starting interest rate swap had a mandatory settlement date of October 4, 2016 and could be settled at any time prior to that date. The forward starting interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge and recorded at fair value. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of our forward starting interest rate swap consisted of an asset of $618,000, which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet. In February 2016, we terminated and settled the forward starting interest rate swap in connection with the pricing of our $200.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2026, resulting in a cash payment of $3.1 million to the counterparty. The settlement value of the forward starting interest rate swap is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will amortize through interest expense over the life of the unsecured senior notes that were issued in May 2016. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $308,000 as an increase to interest expense.

9.    Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1995. It is our intention to adhere to the organizational and operational requirements to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax, provided that distributions to our stockholders equal at least the amount of our REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. We are required to pay U.S. federal and state income taxes on our net taxable income, if any, from the activities conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), which include IRT Capital Corporation II ("IRT"), DIM Vastgoed N.V. ("DIM") and C&C Delaware, Inc. Accordingly, the only provision for federal income taxes in our condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our consolidated TRSs.
Although DIM is organized under the laws of the Netherlands, it pays U.S. corporate income tax based on its operations in the United States. Pursuant to the tax treaty between the U.S. and the Netherlands, DIM is entitled to the avoidance of double taxation on its U.S. income. Thus, it pays no income taxes in the Netherlands. As of June 30, 2016, DIM had a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2.2 million which begins to expire in 2027 and no state net operating loss carryforward. As of June 30, 2016, IRT had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2030.
We believe that we have appropriate support for the tax positions taken on our tax returns and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all years still subject to tax audit, which include all years after 2011.

In January 2016, Liberty International Holdings Limited ("LIH") exercised its redemption right with respect to all of its outstanding Class A Shares in the joint venture which owns CapCo, and we elected to satisfy the redemption through the issuance of approximately 11.4 million shares of our common stock to LIH. The redemption was accounted for as a non-cash equity transaction and resulted in the reclassification of the balance of LIH’s noncontrolling interests to equity of our common stockholders. LIH subsequently sold the shares of common stock in a public offering that closed on January 19, 2016. As a result, we now own 100% of CapCo, LIH holds no remaining interests in us or our subsidiaries, and David Fischel resigned from our Board of Directors in connection with the termination of LIH’s Board nomination right.
11.    Stockholders' Equity and Earnings Per Share
Stockholders' Equity
In November 2015, we entered into distribution agreements with various financial institutions as part of our implementation of a continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") under which we may sell up to 8.5 million shares, par value of $0.01

14


per share, of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings or certain other transactions. Concurrently, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with MGN America, LLC ("MGN"), an affiliate of Gazit-Globe, Ltd. ("Gazit"), our largest stockholder, which may be deemed to be controlled by Chaim Katzman, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to this agreement, MGN has the option to purchase directly from us in private placements up to 20% of the number of shares of common stock sold by us pursuant to the distribution agreements during each calendar quarter, up to an aggregate maximum of approximately 1.3 million shares under the agreement.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we issued 866,325 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at a weighted average price of $29.48 per share for cash proceeds of approximately $25.5 million before expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at a weighted average price of $28.59 per share for cash proceeds of approximately $53.0 million before expenses. The commissions paid to distribution agents during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $319,000 and $662,000, respectively. MGN did not purchase any of the shares issued under the ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we had the capacity to issue up to approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock under the ATM Program.

No shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 as the prices applicable to all options then outstanding were less than the average market price of our common shares during the respective periods.
The computation of diluted EPS for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 did not include the 11.4 million joint venture units held by LIH as of such date, which were redeemable by LIH for cash or, solely at our option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. These convertible units were not included in the diluted weighted average share count because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In January 2016, LIH exercised its redemption right for all of their convertible units. See Note 10 for further discussion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we granted approximately 130,000 shares of restricted stock that are subject to forfeiture and vest over periods from 2 to 4 years. We measure compensation expense for restricted stock awards based on the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant and charge such amounts to expense ratably over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the total grant-date value of the approximately 96,000 shares of restricted stock that vested was approximately $2.3 million.
Share-based compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, is summarized as follows:

As of June 30, 2016, we had $9.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested and restricted share-based payment arrangements (unvested options, restricted shares and long-term incentive plan awards) granted under our Amended and Restated 2000 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
13.    Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2016, we had provided letters of credit having an aggregate face amount of $1.5 million as additional security for financial and other obligations.
As of June 30, 2016, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $110.1 million in active development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $137.1 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. We have other significant projects for which we expect to expend an additional $15.1 million over the next one to two years based on our current plans and estimates. These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by funds available under our revolving credit facility, sales of equity under our ATM Program, proceeds from property dispositions and available cash.
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of business. However, we do not believe that any of the litigation outstanding as of June 30, 2016 will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
14.    Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning and gas station facilities at our shopping centers are the principal environmental concerns. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations, and we have established procedures to monitor dry cleaning operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. We have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties which limits our exposure to some of these conditions, although these policies are subject to limitations and environmental conditions known at the time of acquisition are typically excluded from coverage. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
15.    Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had three interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $250.0 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, we had a forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million which was terminated and settled in February 2016. See Note 7 for further discussion.
As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a liability of $5.6 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of one of our interest rate swaps consisted of an asset of $217,000, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, while the fair value of the two remaining interest rate swaps consisted of a liability of $2.0 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of our forward starting interest rate swap consisted of an asset of $618,000, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The net unrealized loss on our interest rate derivatives was $616,000 and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contract at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Valuation Methods
The fair values of our interest rate swaps were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of June 30, 2016, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed, and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized loss included in other comprehensive loss was primarily attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swaps that remained outstanding as of June 30, 2016, none of which were reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income because they were documented and qualified as hedging instruments and there was no ineffectiveness in relation to the hedges.

____________________________________________ 
(1) Total losses exclude impairments of $11.3 million recognized related to properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2015 and a goodwill impairment loss of $200,000 related to an operating property.
(2) Represents the fair value of the property on the date it was impaired during the fourth quarter of 2015.
(3) Impairments were recognized on a land parcel due to our reconsideration of our plans which increased the likelihood that the holding period may be shorter than previously estimated due to updated disposition plans and on another land parcel due to the total projected undiscounted cash flows being less than its carrying value.
On a non-recurring basis, we evaluate the carrying value of investment property and investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairments, if any, typically result from values established by Level 3 valuations. The carrying value of a property is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the property are separately identifiable and are less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the property as determined by purchase price offers or by discounted cash flows using the income or market approach. These cash flows are comprised of unobservable inputs which include contractual rental revenue and forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon observable

18


rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, we determined that the valuation of these investment properties and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of the operating property measured using Level 3 inputs:

The above fair values approximate the amounts that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects our judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the liability.


We develop our judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of 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.
The fair market value calculations of our debt as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 include assumptions as to the effects that prevailing market conditions would have on existing secured or unsecured debt. The calculations use a market rate spread over the risk-free interest rate. This spread is determined by using the remaining 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 mortgage notes, unsecured senior notes and term loans are consistent with current market trends.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments:

Mortgage Notes Payable

The fair value of our mortgage notes payable is estimated by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to us for debt of the same terms and maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time the property is acquired. The fair value of the mortgage notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Unsecured Senior Notes Payable

19




The fair value of our unsecured senior notes payable is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Term Loans

The fair value of our term loans is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loans using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The fair value of the term loans was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. See Notes 7 and 15 for further discussion.
17.    Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
Many of our subsidiaries that are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, have guaranteed our indebtedness under our unsecured senior notes, term loans and revolving credit facility. The guarantees are joint and several and full and unconditional. The following statements set forth consolidating financial information with respect to guarantors of our unsecured senior notes:

Related Parties

In June 2016, we entered into an assignment agreement with Promed Manhattan, LLC (“Promed”), an affiliate of Gazit, whereby we will assume Promed’s lease with a third party landlord commencing September 1, 2016. The leased premises consists of office space located in the same building in New York City where we maintain our corporate headquarters. Concurrently with the lease assignment, we entered into a license agreement with Gazit Group USA, Inc. (“Gazit Group”), an affiliate of Gazit, whereby Gazit Group will have the right to use a designated portion of the office space subject to certain limitations. As part of the license agreement, Gazit Group will reimburse us for its pro-rata portion of the costs due to the landlord of the office space, which is currently estimated to be approximately $60,000 per month.

Subsequent Events
Pursuant to the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC, we have evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after our June 30, 2016 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements and have also included such events in the footnotes herein.
In July 2016, we gave the servicer of the mortgage loan encumbering Culver Center located in Culver City, California, notice that we intend to defease the loan as soon as practicable. The mortgage loan has a principal balance of $64.0 million, an interest rate

24



of 5.580% per annum and a maturity date of May 2017. In connection with the defeasance, we expect to recognize a net loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.0 million.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2016.
Overview
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops shopping centers and retail properties located primarily in supply constrained suburban and urban communities. Our principal business objective is to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable cash flow growth and increasing the long-term value of our real estate assets. To achieve our objective, we lease and manage our shopping centers primarily with experienced, in-house personnel. We acquire shopping centers that either have leading anchor tenants or contain a mix of tenants that reflect the shopping needs of the communities they serve. We also develop and redevelop shopping centers, leveraging existing tenant relationships and geographic and demographic knowledge, while seeking to minimize risks associated with land development.
As of June 30, 2016, our portfolio comprised 122 properties, including 97 retail properties and five non-retail properties totaling approximately 12.2 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, 14 development or redevelopment properties with approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA, and six land parcels. As of June 30, 2016, our retail occupancy excluding developments and redevelopments was 96.3% and included national, regional and local tenants. Additionally, we had joint venture interests in six retail properties and two office buildings totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA.
We witnessed increasing interest from prospective small shop tenants during 2015 and the first half of 2016 across the portfolio and are cautiously optimistic that this trend will continue in line with general economic conditions. Many of our shopping centers are anchored by supermarkets or drug stores which are necessity-oriented retailers and are thus less susceptible to economic cycles. As of June 30, 2016, approximately 60% of our shopping centers were supermarket-anchored, which we believe is a competitive advantage because supermarkets draw recurring traffic to shopping centers even during challenging economic conditions. Additionally, many of the shop tenants that locate in supermarket-anchored centers tend to be service-oriented uses rather than retailers, thus providing further resistance to any competitive encroachment due to e-commerce. Though our pace of disposition activity has slowed, we continue to reinvest proceeds from dispositions and other financing activities into higher quality assets located in urban markets or markets with significant barriers to entry. We believe the diversification of our portfolio over the past several years has made us less susceptible to economic downturns and positions us to enjoy the benefits of an improving economy.
We intend to seek opportunities to invest in our primary target markets of California, the northeastern United States, Washington D.C., South Florida and Atlanta while selectively disposing of assets which are located outside of our target markets or which have relatively limited prospects for future net operating income ("NOI") growth. We also actively seek opportunities to develop or redevelop centers in high density markets with strong demographic characteristics and established markets with high barriers to entry. As pricing and opportunity permit, we expect to acquire additional assets in our target markets through the use of both joint venture arrangements and our own capital resources, and we expect to finance development and redevelopment activity primarily with our own capital resources or by issuing debt or equity.
While the markets in which we operate have experienced gradual improvement in general economic conditions in recent years, the rate of economic recovery has varied across our operating regions. In addition, the supply and demand for retail space in many of our markets is impacted by store openings and closings and mergers and bankruptcies of national and franchise operators. Certain retail categories such as electronic goods, office supply stores, apparel and book stores continue to face increased threats from e-commerce. We believe that recent growth and diversification of our portfolio into top urban markets combined with the current lack of newly developed shopping centers should help to mitigate the impact of these challenges on our business.
The execution of our business strategy during the second quarter of 2016 resulted in:
the acquisition of Walmart at Norwalk, a 142,222 square foot property located in Norwalk, Connecticut, for $30.0 million;
the sale of two non-core assets located in Decatur, Georgia for aggregate gross proceeds of $7.5 million;
the issuance of 3.81% series A senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal balance of $100.0 million that mature in May 2026;

26


the issuance of 866,325 shares of our common stock under our continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") at a weighted average price of $29.48 per share for cash proceeds of approximately $25.5 million before expenses;
the prepayment, without penalty, of two mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $28.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 5.94% per annum;
the signing of 41 new leases totaling 210,939 square feet, including, on a same-space(1) basis, 27 new leases totaling 147,066 square feet at an average rental rate of $24.49 per square foot in 2016 (excluding $15.09 per square foot of tenant improvements and concessions) as compared to the prior in-place average rent of $23.01 per square foot, resulting in a 6.4% average rent spread on a cash basis;
the renewal and extension of 79 leases totaling 305,433 square feet, including, on a same-space basis, 77 leases totaling 303,268 square feet at an average rental rate of $22.42 per square foot in 2016 (excluding $3.02 per square foot of tenant improvements and concessions) as compared to the prior in-place average rent of $20.89 per square foot, resulting in a 7.3% average rent spread on a cash basis;
the increase in retail occupancy(2) excluding developments and redevelopments to 96.3% at June 30, 2016 from 95.5% at June 30, 2015 and from 96.2% at March 31, 2016; and
the increase in occupancy on a same-property basis(3) to 96.3% at June 30, 2016 from 95.8% at June 30, 2015 and a decrease in occupancy on a same-property basis from 96.4% at March 31, 2016.
Including the above, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, the execution of our business strategy resulted in:
the sale of five non-core assets located in Georgia, Louisiana and Florida for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.8 million;
the issuance of approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock under our ATM Program at a weighted average price of $28.59 per share for cash proceeds of approximately $53.0 million before expenses;
the redemption of our 6.25% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $101.4 million and were scheduled to mature in January 2017, resulting in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million, which was comprised of a make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes;
the origination of a mortgage note payable for $88.0 million secured by Westbury Plaza located in Nassau County, New York. The mortgage note payable matures on February 1, 2026 and bears interest at 3.76% per annum;
the prepayment, without penalty, of three mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $44.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 6.08% per annum; and
the termination and settlement of our $50.0 million forward starting interest rate swap in connection with the pricing of our $200.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2026, resulting in a cash payment of $3.1 million to the counterparty.
________________________
(1) 
The “same-space” designation is used to compare leasing terms (principally cash leasing spreads) from the prior tenant to the new/current tenant. In some cases, leases and/or premises are excluded from “same-space” because the gross leasable area of the prior premises is combined or divided to form a larger or smaller, non-comparable space. Also excluded from the “same-space” designation are those leases for which a comparable prior rent is not available due to the acquisition or development of a new center.
(2) 
Our retail occupancy excludes non-retail properties and properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures.
(3) 
Information provided on a same-property basis includes the results of properties that we consolidated, owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for non-retail properties and properties for which significant development or redevelopment occurred during either of the periods being compared.
In January 2016, Liberty International Holdings Limited ("LIH") exercised its redemption right with respect to all of its outstanding Class A Shares in the C&C (US) No. 1, Inc. ("CapCo") joint venture. The redemption was satisfied through the issuance of approximately 11.4 million shares of our common stock to LIH. LIH subsequently sold the shares of common stock in a public offering that closed on January 19, 2016. As a result, we now own 100% of CapCo, and LIH holds no remaining interests in us or our subsidiaries.
The Sports Authority filed for bankruptcy in March 2016. Prior to its filing, The Sports Authority leased a total of approximately 108,000 square feet of GLA at four of our shopping centers at an aggregate annualized base rent of approximately $3.8 million. During the course of its bankruptcy proceedings, The Sports Authority rejected leases at all four properties. We have executed

27


leases totaling approximately 50,000 square feet of GLA at two of these properties at an aggregate annualized base rent of approximately $1.9 million, which is equivalent to the rent previously paid by The Sports Authority. The new tenants are expected to commence paying rent in December 2016, and we are actively marketing the two remaining locations.
Results of Operations
We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. This revenue includes fixed base rents, recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and pass through to the individual tenants and percentage rents that are based on specified percentages of tenants’ revenue, in each case as provided in the particular leases.
Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, which include repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance, and utilities; real estate taxes; general and administrative expenses, which include payroll, office expenses, professional fees, acquisition costs, and other administrative expenses; and interest expense, primarily on mortgage debt, unsecured senior debt, term loans and a revolving credit facility. 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 shopping center portfolio. In addition, non-cash impairment charges may also affect comparability.
Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “same-property” basis. Information provided on a same-property basis includes the results of properties that we consolidated, owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for non-retail properties and properties for which significant development or redevelopment occurred during either of the periods being compared. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when a property is considered to be a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation pursuant to a formal plan or is being repositioned in the market and such renovation or repositioning is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income. A development or redevelopment property is moved to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, excluding dispositions consummated during the quarter, no properties were moved in or out of the same-property pool.

Total revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 2.0%, to $92.5 million in 2016 from $90.7 million in 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $2.6 million associated with properties acquired in 2015; and
an increase of approximately $1.4 million in same-property revenue primarily due to higher rent from new rent commencements and renewals and contractual rent increases; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $1.1 million associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015;
a decrease in management and leasing services income of approximately $400,000 primarily associated with the unwinding of one of our joint ventures in 2015;
a decrease of approximately $400,000 related to lower rents from development and redevelopment properties primarily due to a $1.0 million lease termination fee received during the second quarter of 2015; and
a decrease of approximately $300,000 associated with non-retail properties due to lower occupancy.
Property operating expenses increased by $48,000, or 0.4%, to $12.6 million in 2016 from $12.5 million in 2015. The increase primarily consisted of the following:
a net increase of approximately $400,000 in same-property expenses; and
an increase of approximately $300,000 associated with properties acquired in 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $300,000 in operating expenses for development and redevelopment properties; and
a decrease of approximately $300,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015.

29


Real estate tax expense increased by $208,000, or 1.9%, to $11.1 million in 2016 from $10.9 million in 2015. The increase primarily consisted of the following:
an increase of approximately $300,000 associated with properties acquired in 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $100,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.8 million, or 21.3%, to $27.4 million for 2016 from $22.6 million in 2015. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase of approximately $4.9 million related to accelerated depreciation of assets razed as part of redevelopment projects and tenant vacancies in 2016;
an increase of approximately $1.2 million related to new depreciable assets added during 2015 associated with completed redevelopment and development projects; and
an increase of approximately $900,000 related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2016 and 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $1.8 million due to assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized during 2016 and 2015; and
a decrease of approximately $225,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015.
General and administrative expenses increased by $246,000, or 2.9%, to $8.7 million for 2016 from $8.4 million in 2015. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase in transaction-related costs primarily due to completed or pending property acquisitions and dispositions of approximately $470,000; and
an increase of approximately $200,000 in public company and other administrative expenses; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $280,000 in total employment costs; and
a decrease of approximately $190,000 in professional services primarily due to lower franchise taxes, licenses and consulting fees.
Other income of $5.6 million in 2015 primarily related to the redemption of our interest in the GRI-EQY I, LLC joint venture (the "GRI JV"), resulting in the recognition of a $5.5 million gain from the remeasurement of the fair value of our equity interest in the joint venture immediately prior to the redemption.
Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 9.4%, to $12.5 million for 2016 from $13.8 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following:
a net decrease of approximately $3.0 million due to the redemption of our 6.25%, 6.00% and 5.375% unsecured senior notes in 2016 and 2015, partially offset by the issuance of our 3.81% series A senior unsecured notes; and
a decrease of approximately $80,000 associated with lower net mortgage interest expense primarily due to the repayment of mortgage loans during 2016 and 2015, partially offset by a new mortgage loan secured by Westbury Plaza; partially offset by
an increase of approximately $1.0 million due to higher interest expense and facility fees primarily associated with the $300.0 million delayed draw term loan facility entered into in December 2015;
an increase of approximately $680,000 due to lower capitalized interest primarily as a result of the completion of a major redevelopment project in 2016; and
an increase of approximately $100,000 due to higher interest expense associated with the unsecured revolving credit facility.
We recorded a gain on the sale of operating properties in 2016 of $913,000 primarily from the sale of two properties during the quarter. The gain on the sale of operating properties of $3.4 million in 2015 is primarily due to the redemption of our interest in the GRI JV which resulted in the recognition of a gain of $3.3 million from the deferred gains associated with the past disposition of assets by us to the joint venture.

We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million in 2015 from the redemption of our 5.375% unsecured senior notes due October 2015, which was comprised of a make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $8.0 million to $21.6 million for 2016 compared to $29.6 million in 2015. Net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. decreased by $5.5 million to $21.6 million for 2016 compared to $27.1 million in 2015.

Total revenue increased by $7.8 million, or 4.3%, to $187.0 million in 2016 from $179.2 million in 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of approximately $6.0 million associated with properties acquired in 2015; and
an increase of approximately $5.2 million in same-property revenue primarily due to higher rent from new rent commencements and renewals and contractual rent increases; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $500,000 associated with non-retail properties primarily due to lower occupancy;
a decrease of approximately $2.2 million associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015; and
a decrease in management and leasing services income of approximately $700,000 associated with our unconsolidated joint ventures in part due to the unwinding of one of our joint ventures in 2015.
Property operating expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 4.3%, to $26.2 million in 2016 from $25.1 million in 2015. The increase primarily consisted of the following:
a net increase of approximately $1.3 million in same-property expenses primarily due to higher bad debt expense of approximately $520,000 in part due to allowances for losses on accounts receivable established in connection with tenant bankruptcies, including The Sports Authority; and
an increase of approximately $700,000 associated with properties acquired in 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $700,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015; and

31


a decrease of approximately $300,000 in operating expenses for development and redevelopment properties.
Real estate tax expense increased by $360,000, or 1.7%, to $21.8 million in 2016 from $21.5 million in 2015. The increase primarily consisted of the following:
an increase of approximately $600,000 associated with properties acquired in 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $200,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015; and
a net decrease of approximately $100,000 in real estate tax expense across our portfolio of properties.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $10.0 million, or 22.8%, to $53.5 million for 2016 from $43.6 million in 2015. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase of approximately $8.5 million related to accelerated depreciation of assets razed as part of redevelopment projects and tenant vacancies in 2016;
an increase of approximately $2.8 million related to new depreciable assets added during 2016 and 2015 associated with completed redevelopment and development projects; and
an increase of approximately $2.2 million related to depreciation on properties acquired in 2015; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $3.0 million due to assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized during 2016 and 2015; and
a decrease of approximately $450,000 associated with properties sold in 2016 and 2015.
General and administrative expenses increased by $217,000, or 1.3%, to $17.4 million for 2016 from $17.2 million in 2015. The increase was primarily related to the following:
an increase in transaction-related costs primarily due to completed or pending property acquisitions and dispositions of approximately $270,000; and
an increase of approximately $200,000 in public company and other administrative expenses; partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $155,000 in professional services primarily due to lower franchise taxes, licenses and consulting fees; and
a decrease of approximately $75,000 in total employment costs.
Other income of $864,000 in 2016 includes $596,000 related to the settlement of claims for historical tenant bankruptcies. Other income of $5.6 million in 2015 primarily relates to the redemption of our interest in the GRI JV, resulting in the recognition of a $5.5 million gain from the remeasurement of the fair value of our equity interest in the joint venture immediately prior to the redemption.
Interest expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 11.4%, to $25.3 million for 2016 from $28.6 million in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following:
a net decrease of approximately $7.0 million due to the redemption of our 6.25%, 6.00% and 5.375% unsecured senior notes in 2016 and 2015, partially offset by the issuance of our 3.81% series A senior unsecured notes; partially offset by
an increase of approximately $2.1 million due to higher interest expense and facility fees primarily associated with the $300.0 million delayed draw term loan facility entered into in December 2015;
an increase of approximately $1.2 million due to lower capitalized interest primarily as a result of the completion of a major redevelopment project in 2016; and
an increase of approximately $340,000 due to higher interest expense associated with the unsecured revolving credit facility.
We recorded a gain on the sale of operating properties in 2016 of $3.6 million primarily from the sale of five properties during the year. The gain on the sale of operating properties of $3.3 million in 2015 is primarily due to the redemption of our interest in the GRI JV which resulted in the recognition of a gain of $3.3 million from the deferred gains associated with the past disposition of assets by us to the joint venture.

32


The loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million in 2016 primarily resulted from the redemption of our 6.25% unsecured senior notes due January 2017 and was comprised of a make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes. The loss of $2.6 million in 2015 primarily resulted from the redemption of our 5.375% unsecured senior notes due October 2015, which was comprised of a make-whole premium and deferred fees and costs associated with the notes.
In 2015, we recorded impairment losses of $11.5 million primarily associated with properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2015.
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $2.6 million to $42.6 million for 2016 compared to $40.1 million in 2015. Net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. increased by $7.6 million to $42.6 million for 2016 compared to $35.1 million in 2015.
Funds From Operations
We believe Funds from Operations (“FFO”) (when combined with the primary presentations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")) 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 diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.”
FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of, or impairment charges related to, depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” NAREIT further states that “adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.” We believe that the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from our FFO measure provides financial analysts, investors and stockholders with more complete information regarding our performance than they would have without the presentation of this information. 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 reflects the reconciliation of net income attributable to Equity One, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Includes the recognition of deferred gains of $3.3 million associated with the past disposition of assets by us to GRI JV for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Includes the remeasurement of the fair value of our equity interest in the GRI JV of $5.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Represents earnings attributed to convertible units held by LIH for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Although these convertible units are excluded from the calculation of earnings per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, FFO available to diluted common stockholders includes earnings allocated to LIH, as the inclusion of these units is dilutive to FFO per diluted share. In January 2016, LIH exercised its redemption right with respect to all of its outstanding convertible units in the CapCo joint venture, and we elected to satisfy the redemption through the issuance of approximately 11.4 million shares of our common stock to LIH. LIH subsequently sold the shares of common stock in a public offering that closed on January 19, 2016.
(4) 
Weighted average diluted shares used to calculate FFO per share are higher than the GAAP diluted weighted average shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the dilutive impact of the 11.4 million joint venture units that were held by LIH which were convertible into our common stock. These convertible units were not included in the diluted weighted average share count for GAAP purposes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 because their inclusion was anti-dilutive.
Same-Property NOI
In this section, we present NOI and cash NOI, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to Equity One, Inc., which, to calculate NOI, is adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, interest expense and impairment losses, and to exclude income tax provision of taxable REIT subsidiaries, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, management and leasing services income, equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures, gain/loss on sale of operating properties, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt and other income. Cash NOI is further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, amortization of below-market ground lease intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, and accretion of below market lease intangibles (net), and to include management fee expense recorded at each property based on a percentage of revenue which is eliminated in consolidation. We use NOI and cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Our management also uses cash NOI to evaluate property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe NOI and cash NOI are useful to investors as performance measures because, when compared across periods, NOI and cash NOI reflect the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. NOI and cash NOI exclude certain components from net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI and cash NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI and cash NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI and cash NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI and cash NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements. NOI and cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to Equity One, Inc. as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions.
Same-property NOI increased by $2.1 million, or 4.5%, and $4.6 million, or 5.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The increase in same-property NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily driven by a net increase in minimum rent due to rent commencements (net of concessions and abatements) from increased occupancy, renewals and contractual rent increases, partially offset by higher recoverable expenses, net of recovery income, and higher bad debt expense, including reserves recorded in connection with The Sports Authority and Kabooms bankruptcies. Same-property NOI including redevelopments increased $3.4 million, or 6.1%, and $6.2 million, or 5.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, recognition of gains from the sales of operating properties, real estate acquisitions, real estate properties and development assets, long lived assets, investments in joint ventures, goodwill, share-based compensation and incentive awards, income taxes, and properties held for sale. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no material changes to these policies. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the nature of our business, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations; however, the cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our stockholders in the form of dividends. Our status as a REIT requires that we distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) each year, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  
Short-term liquidity requirements
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring company expenditures (such as general and administrative expenses), non-recurring company expenditures (such as costs associated with development and redevelopment activities, tenant improvements and acquisitions) and dividends to common stockholders. We have satisfied these requirements through cash generated from operations and from financing and investing activities.
As of June 30, 2016, we had $32.9 million of cash and cash equivalents available. We have a revolving credit facility providing for borrowings of up to $600.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2016, the full amount of the facility was available to us based on our financial covenants as of that date. As of June 30, 2016, we had drawn $51.0 million against the facility, which bore interest at a weighted average rate of 1.51% per annum, and we had letters of credit outstanding under the facility with an aggregate face amount of $1.5 million. In addition, we have a delayed draw term loan facility that provides for borrowings up to $300.0 million. As of June 30, 2016, we had drawn $225.0 million against the facility.
During the remainder of 2016, we have approximately $3.1 million in scheduled debt maturities and normal recurring principal amortization payments. In July 2016, we redeemed our 6.00% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $117.0 million, and gave notice to defease a mortgage loan currently outstanding with a principal balance of $64.0 million. Additionally, we are actively searching for acquisition and joint venture opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. Our available cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities, cash from property dispositions and our anticipated $100.0 million senior unsecured note issuance in August 2016 will be used to fund prospective acquisitions as well as our debt maturities and normal operating expenses.
Long-term liquidity requirements
Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities of various long-term debts, development and redevelopment costs and the costs related to growing our business, including acquisitions.
An important component of our growth strategy is the redevelopment of properties within our portfolio and the development of new shopping centers. As of June 30, 2016, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $110.1 million in active development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $137.1 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. We have other significant projects for which we expect to expend an additional $15.1 million over the next one to two years based on our current plans and estimates. Additionally, we expect to spend substantial amounts with respect to redevelopment and development projects to be announced in the future.
Historically, we have funded these requirements through a combination of sources that were available to us, including additional and replacement secured and unsecured borrowings, proceeds from the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, capital from institutional partners that desire to form joint venture relationships with us and proceeds from property dispositions.
2016 liquidity events
While we believe our availability under our line of credit is sufficient to operate our business for the remainder of 2016, if we identify acquisition or redevelopment opportunities that meet our investment objectives, we may need to raise additional capital.
While there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital in the amounts or at the prices we desire, we believe we have positioned our balance sheet in a manner that facilitates our capital raising plans. The following is a summary of our financing and investing activities completed during the six months ended June 30, 2016:
We acquired Walmart at Norwalk, a 142,222 square foot property located in Norwalk, Connecticut, for $30.0 million;
We issued 3.81% series A senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal balance of $100.0 million that mature in May 2026;
We issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock under our ATM Program at a weighted average price of $28.59 per share for cash proceeds of approximately $53.0 million before expenses;

36


We received proceeds of $1.3 million from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options by employees;
We redeemed our 6.25% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $101.4 million and were scheduled to mature in January 2017;
We terminated and settled our $50.0 million forward starting interest rate swap in connection with the pricing of our $200.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2026, resulting in a cash payment of $3.1 million to the counterparty;
We entered into a mortgage note payable for $88.0 million secured by Westbury Plaza located in Nassau County, New York. The mortgage note payable matures on February 1, 2026 and bears interest at 3.76% per annum;
We prepaid, without penalty, three mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $44.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 6.08% per annum;
We sold five non-core assets for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.8 million;
We repaid $45.0 million under our $600.0 million line of credit; and
We invested $47.4 million in capital expenditures to improve our properties.
In July 2016, we redeemed our 6.00% unsecured senior notes, which had a principal balance of $117.0 million and were scheduled to mature in September 2017, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest, and a required make-whole premium of $7.0 million.

In July 2016, we gave the servicer of the mortgage loan encumbering Culver Center located in Culver City, California, notice that we intend to defease the loan as soon as practicable. The mortgage loan has a principal balance of $64.0 million, an interest rate of 5.580% per annum and a maturity date of May 2017.

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 $92.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $85.0 million in the 2015 period. The increase is due primarily to an increase in cash from our rental properties and a decrease in interest expense as a result of refinancing activities, including a lower effective interest rate on our long-term debt.
Net cash used in investing activities was $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $65.4 million for the same period in 2015. Investing activities during 2016 consisted primarily of: additions to construction in progress of $36.3 million; an acquisition of income producing property of $30.0 million and additions to income producing properties of $7.6 million; partially offset by proceeds related to the sale of operating properties of $16.5 million. Investing activities during 2015 primarily consisted of: additions to construction in progress of $35.1 million; investments in joint ventures of $23.9 million and additions to income producing properties of $9.6 million; partially offset by proceeds from the sale of operating properties of $4.5 million.

The decrease in development capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily the result of costs incurred in 2015 for Broadway Plaza. The increase in redevelopment capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily the result of costs incurred in 2016 related to the redevelopment of Serramonte Center, partially offset by costs incurred in 2015 associated with the redevelopment of Alafaya Commons, Boynton Plaza, and Kirkman Shoppes. We capitalized internal costs related to capital expenditures of $3.6 million and $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to successful leasing activities of $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, development activities of $132,000 and $294,000, respectively, and redevelopment and expansion activities of $1.2 million and $751,000, respectively. Capitalized interest totaled $1.2 million and $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily related to development and redevelopment activities.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $29.4 million for the same period in 2015. Activity during 2016 consisted of: the repayment of senior debt borrowings of $106.5 million; dividends paid to stockholders of $62.6 million; prepayments and repayments of mortgage debt of $57.9 million and net repayments under the revolving credit facility of $45.0 million; partially offset by: a borrowing under our senior notes of $100.0 million; borrowings under our mortgage notes of $100.4 million and gross proceeds from common stock issuances of $54.3 million. Activity during 2015 related to: the repayment of senior debt borrowings of $110.1 million; dividends paid to stockholders of $56.0 million; prepayments and repayments of $23.0 million of mortgage debt; and distributions to noncontrolling interests of $5.0 million; partially offset by: gross proceeds from common stock issuances of $124.8 million and net borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $42.0 million.

(1) Excludes our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness. See further discussion in Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements section below.
(2) Excludes obligations related to construction or development contracts, since payments are only due upon satisfactory performance under the contracts.
Our debt level could subject us to various risks, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that the resulting reduction in financial flexibility could inhibit our ability to develop or improve our rental properties, withstand downturns in our rental income, or take advantage of business opportunities. In addition, because we currently anticipate that only a portion of the principal of our indebtedness will be repaid prior to maturity, it is expected that it will be necessary to refinance the majority of our debt. Accordingly, there is a risk that such indebtedness will not be able to be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our current indebtedness.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Joint Ventures. We consolidate entities in which we own less than a 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC. From time to time, we may have off-balance-sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.
As of June 30, 2016, we have investments in six unconsolidated joint ventures in which our effective ownership interests range from 8.6% to 50.0%. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, four of these entities and therefore account for these investments using the equity method of accounting, while two of these joint ventures are accounted for under the cost method. For a more complete description of our joint ventures, see Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate carrying amount of the debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method was approximately $145.2 million, of which our aggregate proportionate share was approximately $43.6 million. Although we have not guaranteed the debt of these joint ventures, we have agreed to customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) on certain of the loans of the joint ventures.
Reconsideration events could cause us to consolidate these joint ventures and partnerships in the future. We evaluate reconsideration events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered are additional contributions required by each partner and each partners’ ability to make those contributions. Under certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are with entities which appear sufficiently stable to meet their capital requirements; however, if market conditions worsen and our partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities.
Contingencies
Letters of Credit. As of June 30, 2016, we had provided letters of credit having an aggregate face amount of $1.5 million as additional security for financial and other obligations. All of our letters of credit are issued under our $600.0 million revolving credit facility.
Construction Commitments. As of June 30, 2016, we have invested an aggregate of approximately $110.1 million in active development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $137.1 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. We have other significant projects for which we expect to expend an additional $15.1 million over the

39


next one to two years based on our current plans and estimates. These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by funds available under our credit facility, issuances of equity under our ATM program, proceeds from property dispositions and available cash.
Operating Lease Obligations. We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for office space, equipment rentals and ground leases on certain of our properties totaling $42.7 million.
Non-Recourse Debt Guarantees. Under the terms of certain non-recourse mortgage loans, we could, under specific circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions, such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds, impermissible transfers and material misrepresentations. In management’s judgment, it would be unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these guarantees that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Other than our joint ventures and obligations described above and our contractual obligation items, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements or contingencies as of June 30, 2016 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Capital Recycling Initiatives
Although our pace of disposition activity has slowed, we will selectively explore future opportunities to sell additional properties that are located outside our target markets or which have relatively limited prospects for future NOI growth if pricing is deemed to be favorable. If the market values of these assets are below their carrying values, it is possible that the disposition of these assets could result in impairments or other losses. Depending on the prevailing market conditions and historical carrying values, these impairments and losses could be material. Depending on how proceeds from such dispositions are invested, we may also suffer earnings and FFO dilution.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning and gas station facilities at our shopping centers are the principal environmental concerns. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor dry cleaning operations. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. We have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties which limits our exposure to some of these conditions, although these policies are subject to limitations and environmental conditions known at the time of acquisition are typically excluded from coverage. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
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 any 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 our development and redevelopment 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, 2015 for additional information regarding such risks.
Distributions
We believe that we currently qualify and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While we intend to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, we also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as we consider necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of our real estate and other corporate purposes while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT.

40



Inflation and Economic Condition Considerations
Most of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate any adverse impact of inflation. Although inflation has been low in recent periods and has had a minimal impact on the performance of our shopping centers, there is more recent data suggesting that inflation may be a greater concern in the future given economic conditions and governmental fiscal policy. Most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, though some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under their lease. 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, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. 
All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “might,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “forecast,” “target,” “plan,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other variations or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Because these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
general economic conditions, including current macro-economic challenges, competition from alternative sales channels including the internet, and changes in 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, the availability of financing and our credit ratings;
potential environmental liability and other risks associated with the ownership, development, redevelopment and acquisition of shopping center properties;
greater than anticipated construction or operating costs or delays in completing development or redevelopment projects or obtaining necessary approvals therefor;
inflationary, deflationary and other general economic trends;
the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and other natural or man-made disasters;
changes in key personnel;
management’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the properties and operations of separate companies that we have acquired in the past or may acquire in the future;
the impact of acquisitions and dispositions of properties and joint venture interests and expenses incurred by us in connection with our acquisition and disposition activity;
the ability to identify properties for acquisition and other accretive uses of cash available from operations, the disposition of non-core assets and financing activities;
impairment charges related to changes in market values of our properties as well as those related to our disposition activity;
our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation; and

41


other risks detailed from time to time in the reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, those risk factors identified in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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. All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect our actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each factor on our business.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The primary market risk to which we have exposure is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect our net income and cash flows. As changes in market conditions occur and interest rates increase or decrease, interest expense on the variable component of our debt will move in the same direction. We intend to utilize variable-rate indebtedness available under our unsecured revolving credit facility in order to initially fund future acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs and other operating needs. With respect to our fixed rate mortgage notes and unsecured senior 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 debt. With respect to our floating rate revolving line of credit and term loans, the primary market risk exposure is increasing LIBOR-based interest rates. We have effectively converted our $250.0 million unsecured term loan to a fixed rate of interest through the use of interest rate swaps.
As of June 30, 2016, we had $303.8 million of floating rate debt outstanding under our unsecured delayed draw term loan facility, unsecured revolving line of credit and mortgage loan for Concord Shopping Plaza. As of June 30, 2016, we had drawn $225.0 million against our unsecured delayed draw term loan facility, which bears interest, at our option, at one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR plus 0.90% to 1.75%. As of June 30, 2016, we had $51.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving line of credit, which bears interest at applicable LIBOR plus 0.875% to 1.550%, depending on the credit ratings of our unsecured senior notes, and we had a $27.8 million mortgage loan for Concord Shopping Plaza, which bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. Considering the total outstanding balance of $303.8 million as of June 30, 2016, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an impact to income before income taxes of approximately $3.0 million per year.
The fair value of our fixed-rate debt was $841.4 million as of June 30, 2016, which includes our unsecured senior notes payable and mortgage notes (except the mortgage loan for Concord Shopping Plaza noted above). If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed-rate debt, based on the fair value as of June 30, 2016, would decrease by approximately $39.0 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed-rate debt would increase by approximately $41.8 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed-rate debt remains at approximately $812.0 million, the balance as of June 30, 2016.
As of June 30, 2016, we had $250.0 million outstanding under our term loan which we have effectively converted to a fixed rate of interest through the use of interest rate swaps – see “Hedging Activities” below. The fair value of our term loan was $251.0 million as of June 30, 2016. If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our term loan (unhedged), based on the fair value as of June 30, 2016, would decrease by approximately $6.7 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our term loan (unhedged), based on the fair value as of June 30, 2016, would increase by approximately $6.7 million.
Hedging Activities
To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We require that the hedges or derivative financial instruments be effective in managing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as such at the inception of the contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, resulting in some ineffectiveness, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be included in earnings.
As of June 30, 2016, we had interest rate swaps which convert the LIBOR rate applicable to our $250.0 million term loan to a fixed interest rate, providing us an effective weighted average fixed interest rate on the term loan of 2.62% per annum based on the current credit ratings of our unsecured senior notes. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was a liability

42


of $5.6 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of one of our interest rate swaps consisted of an asset of $217,000, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, while the fair value of the two remaining interest rate swaps consisted of a liability of $2.0 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2015, we had entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million to mitigate the risk of adverse fluctuations in interest rates with respect to fixed rate indebtedness expected to be issued in 2016. The forward starting interest rate swap had a mandatory settlement date of October 4, 2016, and could be settled at any time prior to that date. The forward starting interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge and recorded at fair value. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of our forward starting interest rate swap consisted of an asset of $618,000, which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheet. In February 2016, we terminated and settled the forward starting interest rate swap in connection with the pricing of our $200.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2026, resulting in a cash payment of $3.1 million to the counterparty. The settlement value of the forward starting interest rate swap, which is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, will amortize through interest expense over the life of the unsecured senior notes that were issued in May 2016.
As of June 30, 2016, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk or commodity price risk). In making this determination and for purposes of the SEC's market risk disclosure requirements, we have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2016 based on pertinent information available to management as of that date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated amounts as of June 30, 2016, future estimates of fair value and the amounts which may be paid or realized in the future may differ significantly from amounts presented.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
