PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that principally owns, manages, acquires and develops neighborhood and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2006, our property portfolio consisted of 179 properties, including 166 shopping centers comprising approximately 17.9 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, six development parcels and seven non-retail properties. As of December 31, 2006, the portfolio was 92.1% leased and included national and regional supermarkets tenants such as Publix, Supervalu, Kroger, BI-LO and Winn-Dixie and other national retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, CVS/pharmacy, Home Depot, Kmart, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Walgreens and Wal-Mart.
We were organized as a Maryland corporation in 1992, completed our initial public offering in May 1998, and have elected to be taxed as a REIT since 1995. We maintain our principal executive and management office at 1600 N.E. Miami Gardens Drive, North Miami Beach, Florida 33179.
In this annual report, unless stated otherwise or unless the content requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us” or “our” mean Equity One, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.
Strategy and Philosophy
Our principal business objective has been and will continue to be to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable cash flow growth and increasing the long-term value of our real estate assets. Our strategies for reaching this objective include:
· | Operating Strategy: Maximizing the internal growth of revenue from our shopping centers by leasing and re-leasing those properties to a diverse group of creditworthy tenants at higher rental rates and redeveloping those properties to make them more attractive to tenants or to permit additional or better uses; |
· | Investment Strategy: Using capital wisely to renovate or redevelop our properties and to acquire and develop additional shopping centers where expected returns meet or exceed our standards; and |
· | Capital Strategy: Financing our capital requirements with internally generated funds, proceeds from selling properties that do not meet our investment criteria and access to debt and equity capital markets. |
Operating Strategy. Our core operating strategy is to maximize rents and maintain high occupancy levels by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse base of tenants. Many of our properties are located in some of the most densely populated and highest growth areas of the country, including the metropolitan areas around Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, and Boston, Massachusetts. Strong trade-area demographics help our tenants generate high sales, which has enabled us to maintain high occupancy rates and increase rental rates.
In order to effectively achieve our operating strategy, we seek to:
· | actively manage and maintain the high standards and physical appearance of our assets while maintaining competitive tenant occupancy costs; |
· | maintain a diverse tenant base in order to limit exposure to any one tenant’s financial condition; |
· | develop strong, mutually beneficial relationships with creditworthy tenants, particularly our anchor tenants, by consistently meeting or exceeding their expectations; and |
· | increase rental rates upon the renewal of expiring leases or as we lease space to new tenants while minimizing vacancy and down-time. |
· | As part of the active management of our properties, we evaluate renovation or redevelopment opportunities that will make them more attractive for leasing or re-leasing to tenants, take advantage of under-utilized land or existing square footage or re-configure properties for better uses. |
Investment Strategy. Our investment strategy is to deploy capital in projects that are expected to generate returns that exceed our cost of capital. Our investments primarily fall into one of the following three categories:
· | re-developing, renovating, expanding, reconfiguring and/or re-tenanting our existing properties; |
· | selectively acquiring shopping centers which will benefit from our active management and leasing strategies; and |
· | selectively developing new shopping centers to meet the needs of expanding retailers. |
In the past, we have also made investments in the securities of other companies, whose assets or markets are consistent with our investment strategy. These investment decisions are made in the same manner as other investments by us and are subject to the gross income and asset tests necessary to maintain our REIT qualification.
In evaluating potential redevelopment, acquisition and development opportunities, we also consider such factors as:
· | the expected returns in relation to our cost of capital, as well as the anticipated risk we will face in achieving the expected returns; |
· | the current and projected cash flow of the property and the potential to increase that cash flow; |
· | the tenant mix at the property, tenant sales performance and the creditworthiness of those tenants; |
· | economic, demographic, regulatory and zoning conditions in the property’s local and regional market; |
· | competitive conditions in the vicinity of the property, including competition for tenants and the potential that others may create competing properties through redevelopment, new construction or renovation; |
· | the level and success of our existing investments in the relevant market; |
· | the current market value of the land, buildings and other improvements and the potential for increasing those market values; |
· | the physical configuration of the property, its visibility, ease of entry and exit, and availability of parking; and |
· | the physical condition of the land, buildings and other improvements, including the structural and environmental conditions. |
Capital Strategy. We intend to grow and expand our business by using cash flows from operations, by borrowing under our existing credit facilities or, if appropriate market conditions exist, by accessing the capital markets to issue equity, debt or a combination thereof. Our capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet and sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-efficient way. Our strategy includes:
· | maintaining a prudent level of overall leverage and an appropriate pool of unencumbered properties that is sufficient to support our unsecured borrowings; |
· | managing our exposure to variable-rate debt; |
· | taking advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt, reduce interest costs and manage our debt maturity schedule; or |
· | using joint venture arrangements to access less expensive capital, mitigate capital risk, or to capitalize on the expertise of local real estate partners. |
· | While we generally hold our properties for investment and for the production of rental income, we also recycle our capital. Over time, when our assets no longer meet our investment criteria, asset type or geographic focus, we may sell or otherwise dispose of those assets. By identifying these opportunities, we are able to recycle our capital and reinvest the proceeds in more attractive properties or markets. |
Change in Policies. Our board of directors establishes the policies that govern our operating, investment and capital strategies, including, among others, the development and acquisition of shopping centers, tenant and market focus, debt and equity financing policies, quarterly distributions to our stockholders and the REIT status. The board may amend these policies at any time, without a vote of our stockholders.
REIT Status
We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1995. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income tax on REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) each year. We will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) at regular corporate rates if we fail to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes in any taxable year, or to the extent we distribute less than 100% of REIT taxable income. We will also not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income.
We have elected to treat certain of our subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. In general, a TRS may engage in any real estate business and certain non-real estate businesses, subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The sales of certain land parcels, our investment in DIM Vastgoed N.V. and certain other real estate and other activities are being conducted through our TRS entities. Our current TRS activities are limited and they have not incurred any significant income taxes to date.
Governmental Regulations Affecting Our Properties
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including:
· | the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, which we refer to as CERCLA; |
· | the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act; |
· | the Federal Clean Water Act; |
· | the Federal Clean Air Act; |
· | the Toxic Substances Control Act; |
· | the Occupational Safety & Health Act; and |
· | the Americans with Disabilities Act. |
Environmental Regulations. The application of these laws to a specific property that we own depends on a variety of property-specific circumstances, including the current and former uses of the property, the building materials used at the property and the physical layout of the property. Under certain environmental laws, principally CERCLA, we, as the owner or operator of properties currently or previously owned, may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum product releases at the property. We may also be held liable to a federal, state or local governmental entity or third parties for property damage, injuries resulting from the contamination and for investigation and clean up costs incurred in connection with the contamination, whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the contamination. Such costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. We have several properties that will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation as a result of contamination from on-site uses by current or former owners or tenants, such as gas stations or dry cleaners.
Americans with Disabilities Act. Our properties are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Under this act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages.
Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with existing regulations, including environmental and ADA regulations, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future. Other than as part of our development or redevelopment projects, we have no current plans for substantial capital expenditures with respect to compliance with environmental, health, safety and similar laws, and we carry environmental insurance which covers a number of environmental risks for most of our properties.
Competition
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, REITs and other owners of real estate in the areas in which our properties are located that compete with us with respect to the leasing of our properties and in seeking land for development or properties for acquisition. Some of these competitors have substantially greater resources than we have, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors in any of the primary markets where our properties are located are dominant in that market. This level of competition may reduce the number of properties available for development or acquisition, increase the cost of development or acquisition or interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants.
All of our existing properties are located in developed areas that include other shopping centers and other retail properties. The number of retail properties in a particular area could materially adversely affect our ability to lease vacant space and maintain the rents charged at our existing properties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, price, anchor tenants and maintenance of properties. Our retail tenants also face competition from other retailers, outlet stores and discount shopping clubs. This competition could contribute to lease defaults and insolvency of our tenants.
Employees
At December 31, 2006, we had 217 full-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This annual report on Form 10-K and the information incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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,” “would,” “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. Some specific risk factors that could impair forward looking statements are set forth below.
These risks factors are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may affect our business. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K for future periods for updates to these risk factors.
We are dependent upon certain key tenants and decisions made by these tenants or adverse developments in the business of these tenants could have a negative impact on our financial condition.
We own shopping centers which are supported by “anchor” tenants which, due to size, reputation or other factors, are particularly responsible for drawing other tenants and shoppers to our centers. For instance, Publix Supermarkets is our largest tenant and accounted for approximately 2.5 million square feet, or 14% of our gross leasable area, at December 31, 2006 and accounts for over $19.5 million of minimum rent, or 10% of our annualized minimum rent.
At any time, an anchor tenant or other tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, tenants may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due or declare bankruptcy. We are subject to the risk that these tenants may be unable to make their lease payments or may decline to extend a lease upon its expiration. Any tenant bankruptcies, leasing delays or failures to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to our business and harm to our operating results.
In addition, an anchor tenant may decide that a particular store is unprofitable and close its operations in our center, and, while the tenant may continue make rental payments, such a failure to occupy its premises could have an adverse effect on the property. A lease termination by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping center if their leases have “co-tenancy” clauses which permit cancellation or rent reduction if an anchor tenant’s lease is terminated or the anchor “goes dark.” Vacated anchor tenant space also tends to adversely affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s power to draw customers to the center. We cannot provide any assurance that we would be able to quickly re-lease vacant space on favorable terms, if at all. Any of these developments could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We may experience difficulties and additional costs associated with renting unleased space and space to be vacated in future years.
Our goal is to improve the performance of our properties by re-leasing vacated space. However, we may not be able to maintain our overall occupancy. Our ability to continue to lease or re-lease vacant space in these or other properties will be affected by many factors, including our properties’ locations, current market conditions and covenants found in certain leases restricting the use of other space at our properties. For instance, in some cases, our tenant leases contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center, or limit the ability of other tenants to sell that merchandise or provide those services. When re-leasing space after a vacancy, these provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants for the vacant space. The failure to lease or to re-lease on satisfactory terms could harm our operating results.
If we are able to re-lease vacated space, there is no assurance that rental rates will be equal to or in excess of current rental rates. In addition, we may incur substantial costs in obtaining new tenants, including brokerage commission fees paid by us in connection with new leases or lease renewals, and the cost of making leasehold improvements.
We have substantial debt obligations which may reduce our operating performance and put us at a competitive disadvantage.
As of December 31, 2006, we had debt and other liabilities outstanding in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 billion. Many of our loan facilities require scheduled principal and balloon payments. In addition, our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur, nor do we have a policy limiting our debt to any particular level. The amount of our debt outstanding from time to time could have important consequences to our stockholders. For example, it could:
· | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, property acquisitions, redevelopments and other appropriate business opportunities that may arise in the future; |
· | limit our ability to make distributions on our outstanding shares of our common stock, including the payment of dividends required to maintain our status as a REIT; |
· | make it difficult to satisfy our debt service requirements; |
· | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the factors that affect the profitability of our business, which may place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors with less debt or debt with less restrictive terms; |
· | limit our ability to obtain any additional debt or equity financing we may need in the future for working capital, debt refinancing, capital expenditures, acquisitions, redevelopment or other general corporate purposes or to obtain such financing on favorable terms; and |
· | require us to dedicate increased amounts of our cash flow from operations to payments on our variable rate, unhedged debt if interest rates rise. |
If our internally generated cash is inadequate to repay our indebtedness upon maturity, then we will be required to repay debt through refinancing or equity offerings. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we might be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties potentially upon disadvantageous terms, which might result in losses and might adversely affect our cash available for distribution. If prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates on refinancing, our interest expense would increase, without a corresponding increase in our rental rates, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Further, if one of our properties is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, or if we are in default under the related mortgage or deed of trust, such property could be transferred to the mortgagee, or the mortgagee could foreclose upon the property, appoint a receiver and receive an assignment of rents and leases or pursue other remedies, all with a consequent loss of income and asset value. Foreclosure could also create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, thereby hindering our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements under the Code.
Our financial covenants may restrict our operating or acquisition activities, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility, our outstanding senior unsecured notes and much of our existing mortgage indebtedness contain customary covenants and conditions, including, among others, compliance with various financial ratios and restrictions upon the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens on our properties. Furthermore, the terms of some of this indebtedness will restrict our ability to consummate transactions that result in a change of control or to otherwise issue equity or debt securities. The existing mortgages also contain customary negative covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. If we were to breach covenants in these debt agreements, the lender could declare a default and require us to repay the debt immediately. If we fail to make such repayment in a timely manner, the lender may be entitled to take possession of any property securing the loan.
Increases in interest rates cause our borrowing costs to rise and generally adversely affect the market price of our securities.
Of our approximately $1.1 billion of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2006, approximately $176.5 million bears interest at variable interest rates, including $100.0 million of fixed rate borrowings that we have converted to floating rate borrowings through the use of hedging agreements. We also may borrow additional funds at variable interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on our variable rate debt and reduce our future earnings and cash flows, which could adversely affect our ability to service our debt and meet our other obligations and also could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders. Although we may in the future enter into hedging arrangements or other transactions as to a portion of our variable rate debt to limit our exposure to rising interest rates, the amounts we are required to pay under the variable rate debt to which the hedging or similar arrangements relate may increase in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our hedging arrangements.
In addition, the market price of our common stock is affected by the annual distribution rate on the shares of our common stock. Increasing market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of our common stock and other securities to seek alternative investments that offer a higher annual yield which would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock and other securities. Finally, increases in interest rates may have the effect of depressing the market value of retail properties such as ours, including the value of those properties securing our indebtedness.
Geographic concentration of our properties makes our business vulnerable to economic downturns in certain regions or to other events, like hurricanes, that disproportionately affect those areas.
Approximately 55.0% of our retail property gross leasable area is located in Florida. As a result, economic, real estate and other, general conditions in Florida will significantly affect our revenues and the value of our properties. Business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other similar factors may adversely affect the economic climate in Florida. Any resulting oversupply or reduced demand for retail properties in Florida would adversely affect our operating performance and limit our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
In addition, a significant portion of our retail property gross leasable area is located in coastal areas that are susceptible to the harmful effects of tropical storms, hurricanes and other similar natural disasters. Most importantly, as of December 31, 2006, over 62.0% of the total insured value of our portfolio is located in the State of Florida, with over 25% located in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. In 2004 and 2005, our properties experienced damage from a total of seven named hurricanes or tropical storms, with an aggregate loss of approximately $14.7 million, not all of which was insured. While some of these uninsured expenses are recoverable from our tenants, not all of the leases have provisions permitting reimbursement, and, therefore, we must pay the remaining amounts. Moreover, with the increased hurricane activity in 2004 and 2005, the cost of property insurance has risen dramatically. While much of the cost of this insurance is passed on to our tenants as reimbursable property costs, some tenants, particularly national tenants, do not pay a pro rata share of these costs under their leases. Hurricanes and similar storms also disrupt our business and the business of our tenants, which could affect the ability of some tenants to pay rent. Therefore, as a result of the geographic concentration of our properties, we face demonstrable, increasing costs, such as uninsured property losses, increased insurance premiums and disruptions to our business and the businesses of our tenants.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate therefore increasing the risks to our business.
We currently carry comprehensive insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for liability, fire, flood, rental loss and acts of terrorism. We also currently carry environmental insurance on most of our properties. All of these policies contain coverage limitations. We believe these coverages are of the types and amounts customarily obtained for or by an owner of similar types of real property assets located in the areas where our properties are located. We intend to obtain similar insurance coverage on subsequently acquired properties.
The availability of insurance coverage may decrease and the prices for insurance may increase as a consequence of significant losses incurred by the insurance industry. For instance, following the hurricane activity of 2004 and 2005, property insurance costs in the State of Florida have increased. In the event of future industry losses, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses from named wind storms or due to terrorist acts and toxic mold, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We, therefore, may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available.
If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt seriously our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Also, due to inflation, changes in codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors, it may not be feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a building after it has been damaged or destroyed or the proceeds could be insufficient. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations, including distributions to our stockholders.
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid.
· Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. In addition, there are limitations under federal income tax laws applicable to real estate and to REITs in particular that may limit our ability to sell our assets. We may not be able to alter our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Our inability to respond quickly to changes in the performance of our investments could adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations and make distributions to our stockholders
· The federal income tax provisions applicable to REITs provide that any gain realized by a REIT on the sale of property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is treated as income from a “prohibited transaction” that is subject to a 100 percent penalty tax. Under current law, unless a sale of real property qualifies for a safe harbor, the question of whether the sale of a property constitutes the sale of property held primarily for sale to customers is generally a question of the facts and circumstances regarding a particular transaction. We intend to hold our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring and owning properties and to make occasional sales as are consistent with our investment objectives. We do not intend to engage in prohibited transactions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will only make sales that satisfy the requirements of the safe harbors or that the IRS will not successfully assert that one or more of our sales are prohibited transactions.
Our development and redevelopment activities are inherently risky and may not yield anticipated returns, which would harm our operating results and reduce funds available for distributions to stockholders.
An important component of our growth strategy is the redevelopment of properties within our portfolio and the development of new shopping centers. At December 31, 2006, we had invested an aggregate of approximately $113.3 million in these development or redevelopment projects at various stages of completion and anticipate that these projects will require an additional $58.8 million to complete, based on our current plans and estimates. These developments and redevelopments may not be as successful as currently expected. Expansion, renovation and development projects entail the following considerable risks:
· | significant time lag between commencement and completion subjects us to greater risks due to fluctuation in the general economy; |
· | failure or inability to obtain construction or permanent financing on favorable terms; |
· | expenditure of money and time on projects that may never be completed; |
· | inability to achieve projected rental rates or anticipated pace of lease-up; |
· | higher-than-estimated construction costs, including labor and material costs; and |
· | possible delay in completion of the project because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, or man-made or natural disasters (such as fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods). |
While our policies with respect to expansion, renovation and development activities are intended to limit some of the risks otherwise associated with such activities, such as initiating construction only after securing commitments from anchor tenants, we will nevertheless be subject to risks that the construction costs of a property, due to factors such as cost overruns, design changes and timing delays arising from a lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions and other factors outside of our control, as well as financing costs, may exceed original estimates, possibly making the associated investment unprofitable. Any substantial unanticipated delays or expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these redevelopment projects and harm our operating results.
Future acquisitions may not yield the returns expected, may result in disruptions to our business, may strain management resources and may result in stockholder dilution.
Our investing strategy and our market selection process may not ultimately be successful and may not provide positive returns on our investment. The acquisition of properties or portfolios of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:
· | we may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties we identify; |
· | we may not be able to integrate any acquisitions into our existing operations successfully; |
· | properties we acquire may fail to achieve within the time frames we project the occupancy or rental rates we project at the time we make the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns we projected; |
· | our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs; and |
· | our investigation of a property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition cost. |
If we acquire a business, we will be required to integrate the operations, personnel and accounting and information systems of the acquired business and train, retain and motivate any key personnel from the acquired business. In addition, acquisitions of or investments in companies may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which could impair our relationships with our current tenants and employees. The issuance of equity securities in connection with any acquisition or investment could be substantially dilutive to our stockholders.
Our ability to grow will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital.
· Our growth strategy is focused on the redevelopment of properties we already own and the acquisition and development of additional properties. We believe that it will be difficult to fund our expected growth with cash from operating activities because, in addition to other requirements, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) each year to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we must rely primarily upon the availability of debt or equity capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. The debt could include mortgage loans from third parties or the sale of debt securities. Equity capital could include shares of our common stock or preferred stock. We cannot guarantee that additional financing, refinancing or other capital will be available in the amounts we desire or on favorable terms. Our access to debt or equity capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our ability to pay dividends, our financial condition, our credit rating and our current and potential future earnings. Depending on the outcome of these factors, we could experience delay or difficulty in implementing our growth strategy on satisfactory terms, or be unable to implement this strategy.
Competition for the acquisition of assets and the leasing of properties may impede our ability to make, or may increase the cost of, these acquisitions and may impair our future income.
Numerous commercial developers and real estate companies compete with us in seeking tenants for our existing properties and properties for acquisition. This competition may:
· | reduce properties available for acquisition; |
· | increase the cost of properties available for acquisition; |
· | reduce the rate of return on these properties; |
· | reduce rents payable to us; |
· | interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants; |
· | lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties; and |
· | adversely affect our ability to minimize expenses of operation. |
In addition, tenants and potential acquisition targets may find competitors to be more attractive because they may have greater resources, broader geographic diversity, may be willing to pay more or offer greater lease incentives or may have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. These competitive factors may adversely affect our profitability, and our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investment.
We may be subjected to liability for environmental contamination which might have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
As an owner and operator of real estate and real estate-related facilities, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances present at, on, under, in or released from our properties, as well as for governmental fines and damages for injuries to persons and property. We may be liable without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the environmental contamination and with respect to properties previously owned by companies we have acquired, whether the contamination occurred before or after the acquisition. We have several properties in our portfolio that will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. The presence of contamination or the failure properly to remediate contamination at any of our properties may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease those properties or to borrow funds by using those properties as collateral. The costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. Although we have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties, there is no assurance that these policies will cover any or all of the potential losses or damages from environmental contamination; therefore, any liability, fine or damage could directly impact our financial results.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 could require us to take remedial steps with respect to existing or newly acquired properties.
Our existing properties, as well as properties we may acquire, as commercial facilities, are required to comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Investigation of a property may reveal non-compliance with this Act. The requirements of this Act, or of other federal, state or local laws, also may change in the future and restrict or require further renovations of our properties with respect to access for disabled persons. Future compliance with this Act may require expensive changes to the properties.
We may experience adverse consequences in the event we fail to qualify as a REIT.
Although we believe that we are organized and have operated so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code since our REIT election in 1995, no assurance can be given that we have qualified or will remain so qualified. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. These provisions include requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of our outstanding common stock, the nature of our assets, the sources of our income, and the amount of our distributions to our stockholders. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. Satisfying this requirement could be difficult, for example, if defaults by tenants were to reduce the amount of income from qualifying rents. In addition, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the 90 percent distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100 percent of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a four percent nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions (or deemed distributions) in any year are less than the sum of 85 percent of our ordinary income for that year, 95 percent of our capital gain net earnings for that year and 100 percent of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the distribution provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Although we anticipate that our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to enable us to pay our operating expenses and meet distribution requirements, no assurance can be given in this regard. We may be required to borrow money or sell assets to pay out enough of our taxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT:
· | we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing taxable income; |
· | we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates; |
· | we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax; |
· | unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified; |
· | we could be required to pay significant income taxes, which would substantially reduce the funds available for investment or for distribution to our stockholders for each year in which we failed or were not permitted to qualify; and |
· | we would no longer be required by law to make any distributions to our stockholders. |
We are subject to other tax liabilities.
Even if we qualify as a REIT, we are subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income and property that could reduce operating cash flow. For example, we will pay tax on certain types of income that are not distributed, and will be subject to a 100 percent excise tax on transactions with a taxable REIT subsidiary that are not conducted on an arms-length basis. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to foreign, federal, state and local taxes.
Our Chairman of the Board and his affiliates own approximately 43% of our common stock and exercise significant control over our company and may delay, defer or prevent us from taking actions that would be beneficial to our other stockholders.
Chaim Katzman, the chairman of our board of directors and our largest stockholder, and his affiliates own approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and, as a result of a stockholders’ agreement with other of our stockholders, have voting power of almost 50% of our outstanding shares with respect to the election of directors. Accordingly, Mr. Katzman is able to exercise significant control over the outcome of substantially all matters required to be submitted to our stockholders for approval, including decisions relating to the election of our board of directors and the determination of our day-to-day corporate and management policies. In addition, Mr. Katzman is able to exercise significant control over the outcome of any proposed merger or consolidation of our company which, under our charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock in such instances. Mr. Katzman’s ownership interest in our company may discourage third parties from seeking to acquire control of our company which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Several of our controlling stockholders have pledged their shares of our stock as collateral under bank loans, foreclosure and disposition of which could have a negative impact on our stock price.
Several of our affiliated stockholders that beneficially own a significant interest in our company, including Gazit-Globe, Ltd. and related entities, have pledged a substantial portion of our stock that they own to secure loans made to them by commercial banks.
If a stockholder defaults on any of its obligations under these pledge agreements or the related loan documents, these banks may have the right to sell the pledged shares in one or more public or private sales that could cause our stock price to decline. Many of the occurrences that could result in a foreclosure of the pledged shares are out of our control and are unrelated to our operations. Some of the occurrences that may constitute such an event of default include:
· | the stockholder’s failure to make a payment of principal or interest when due; |
· | the occurrence of another default that would entitle any of the stockholder’s other creditors to accelerate payment of any debts and obligations owed to them by the stockholder; |
· | if the bank, in its absolute discretion, deems that a change has occurred in the condition of the stockholder to which the bank has not given its prior written consent; and |
· | if, in the opinion of the bank, the value of the pledged shares shall be reduced or is likely to be reduced (for example, the price of our common stock declines). |
In addition, because so many shares are pledged to secure loans, the occurrence of an event of default could result in a sale of pledged shares that would trigger a change of control of our company, even when such a change may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
To maintain our status as a REIT, we limit the amount of shares any one stockholder can own.
The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. For example, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code). To protect our REIT status, our charter prohibits any one stockholder from owning (actually or constructively) more than 9.9% in value of the outstanding shares of common stock or of any class or series of outstanding preferred stock. The constructive ownership rules are complex. Shares of our capital stock owned, actually or constructively, by a group of related individuals and/or entities may be treated as constructively owned by one of those individuals or entities. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.9% in value of the outstanding common stock and/or a class or series of preferred stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns common stock or preferred stock) by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity (or another) to own constructively more than 9.9% in value of the outstanding stock. If that happened, either the transfer or ownership would be void or the shares would be transferred to a charitable trust and then sold to someone who can own those shares without violating the 9.9% ownership limit.
Our board of directors may waive these restrictions on a case-by-case basis. The 9.9% ownership restrictions may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the stockholders’ best interest.
We cannot assure you we will continue to pay dividends at historical rates.
Our ability to continue to pay dividends on our common stock at historical rates or to increase our common stock dividend rate and service our debt securities, will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
· | our financial condition and results of future operations; |
· | the performance of lease terms by tenants; |
· | the terms of our loan covenants; and |
· | our ability to acquire, finance, develop or redevelop and lease additional properties at attractive rates. |
If we do not maintain or increase the dividend rate on our common stock, it could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and other securities. Conversely, payment of dividends on our common stock may be subject to payment in full of the interest on any debt securities we may offer.
Our organizational documents contain provisions which may discourage the takeover of our company, may make removal of our management more difficult and may depress our stock price.
Our organizational documents contain provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect and inhibit a change in our management. As a result, these provisions could prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares of common stock above the prevailing market prices. These provisions include:
· | the REIT ownership limit described above; |
· | the ability to issue preferred stock with the powers, preferences or rights determined by our board of directors; |
· | special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or by the board of directors; |
· | advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals; |
· | the absence of cumulative voting rights; and |
· | provisions relating to the removal of incumbent directors. |
Finally, Maryland law also contains several statutes that restrict mergers and other business combinations with an interested stockholder or that may otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying a change of control.
We are undergoing a management transition, and this transition may disrupt our operations and our business.
During 2006, following the decision of our chairman of the board to relinquish the title of chief executive officer and the expiration of the employment agreements with our prior president and chief operating officer and our chief financial officer, we executed new employment agreements with Jeffrey S. Olson, as our new chief executive officer and president, Jeffrey S. Stauffer, as our new executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Gregory R. Andrews, as our new executive vice president and chief financial officer. This management transition occurred, for the most part, in the third and fourth quarters of 2006 and is on-going. While we hope that this transition will benefit our stockholders in the long run, the short term impact may include:
· | increased general and administrative expenses following the hiring of additional personnel and the payment of severance and other termination payments to departed employees; |
· | disruption of our business; and |
· | management distraction from the day to day operations. |
Changes in taxation of corporate dividends may adversely affect the value of our common stock.
The maximum marginal rate of tax payable by domestic non-corporate taxpayers on dividends received from a regular “C” corporation under current law is 15 percent through 2010, as opposed to higher ordinary income rates. The reduced tax rate, however, does not apply to distributions paid to domestic non-corporate taxpayers by a REIT on its stock, except for certain limited amounts. Although the earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its stockholders generally remain subject to less federal income taxation than earnings of a non-REIT “C” corporation that are distributed to its stockholders net of corporate-level income tax, legislation that extends the application of the 15 percent rate to dividends paid after 2010 by “C” corporations could cause domestic non-corporate investors to view the stock of regular “C” corporations as more attractive relative to the stock of a REIT, because the dividends from regular “C” corporations would continue to be taxed at a lower rate while distributions from REITs (other than distributions designated as capital gain dividends) are generally taxed at the same rate as the individual’s other ordinary income.

* Indicates a tenant that has closed its store and ceased to operate at the property, but continues to pay rent under the terms of its lease. The sub-tenant, if any, is shown in parentheses.
Most of our leases provide for the monthly payment in advance of fixed minimum rentals, the tenants’ pro rata share of ad valorem taxes, insurance (including fire and extended coverage, rent insurance and liability insurance) and common area maintenance for the property. They may also provide for the payment of additional rentals based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Utilities are generally paid directly by tenants except where common metering exists with respect to a property. In this case, we make the payments for the utilities and are reimbursed by the tenants on a monthly basis. Generally, our leases prohibit the tenant from assigning or subletting its space. They also require the tenant to use its space for the purpose designated in its lease agreement and to operate its business on a continuous basis. Some of the lease agreements with major tenants contain modifications of these basic provisions in view of the financial condition, stability or desirability of those tenants. Where a tenant is granted the right to assign its space, the lease agreement generally provides that the original lessee will remain liable for the payment of the lease obligations under that lease agreement.

We may incur substantial expenditures in connection with the re-leasing of our retail space, principally in the form of tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly, depending on negotiations with tenants and the willingness of tenants to pay higher base rents over the terms of the leases. We also incur expenditures for certain recurring capital expenses.
Insurance
Our tenants are generally responsible under their leases for providing adequate insurance on the spaces they lease. We believe that our properties are covered by adequate fire, flood and property insurance, and where necessary hurricane and windstorm coverages all provided by reputable companies. However, certain of our properties are not covered by disaster insurance with respect to certain hazards (such as hurricanes) for which coverage is not available or available only at rates, which in our opinion, are not economically justifiable.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Neither we nor our properties are subject to any litigation which we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Dividends paid during 2006 and 2005 totaled $162.7 million and $87.3 million, respectively. Future declarations of dividends will be made by us at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. In order to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to real estate investment trusts under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, we are currently required to make distributions to holders of our shares in an amount equal to at least 90% of our “real estate investment trust taxable income,” as defined in Section 857 of the Code.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total return of our common stock with the Russell 2000 Index, the NAREIT All Equity Index and SNL Shopping Center REITs, an index of approximately 20 publicly-traded REITS that primarily own and operate shopping centers, each as provided by SNL Securities L.C., from December 31, 2001 until December 31, 2006. The SNL Shopping Center REIT index is compiled by SNL Securities L.C. and includes our common stock and securities of many of our competitors. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2001 in our common stock, the Russell 2000 Index, the NAREIT All Equity REIT Index and SNL Shopping Center REITs, and that all dividends were reinvested. The lines represent semi-annual index levels derived from compounded daily returns. The indices are re-weighted daily, using the market capitalization on the previous tracking day. If the semi-annual interval is not a trading day, the preceding trading day is used.
The performance graph shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this annual report into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

(2) | We believe Funds From Operations (“FFO”) (combined with the primary GAAP presentations) is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry, in particular, REITs. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations “since real estate values…have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” |
FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is “net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.” We believe that financial analysts, investors and stockholders are better served by the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from our FFO measure. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our 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 and liquidity, including the ability to make distributions, and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (which is determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. We believe net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.
The following table illustrates the calculation of funds from operations for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this annual report.
Overview
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that principally owns, manages, acquires and develops neighborhood and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 2006, our property portfolio consisted of 179 properties, including 166 shopping centers comprising approximately 17.9 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA, six development parcels and seven non-retail properties. As of December 31, 2006, the portfolio was 92.1% leased and included national, regional and local tenants.
Two important events occurred in 2006 that affect the results reported in this annual report and will affect our business in the future. First, in April 2006, we sold a portfolio of 29 properties located in the State of Texas to a joint venture in which we initially retained a 20% interest. In December, however, we sold our interest in the joint venture to an affiliate of our partner, completing the full disposition of our interest in the 29 Texas properties. The sale of the Texas properties resulted in a gain of $112.9 million. In addition, the $4.8 million of 2006 operating results of the Texas properties prior to their sale to the JV, four other properties sold in 2006 and one property held for sale at December 31, 2006 are reflected as operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale. The 2005 and 2004 operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale of $20.7 and $25.8 million reflect a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2004, 2005 and 2006, including the Texas properties, and the one property held for sale.
Second, in August of 2006, our founder and chairman of the board, Chaim Katzman, decided to relinquish the title of chief executive officer, and we hired Jeffrey S. Olson, the former president of the east and west divisions of Kimco Realty Corporation, to replace him. In addition, the employment agreements with our prior president and chief operating officer and our prior chief financial officer expired at the end of 2006. Mr. Olson assumed the role of president, and we hired Jeffrey S. Stauffer, the former chief operating officer of Pan Pacific Retail Properties, to serve as our executive vice president and chief operating officer, and we hired Gregory R. Andrews, a former principal of Green Street Advisors, as our executive vice president and chief financial officer. This management transition occurred, for the most part, in the third and fourth quarters of 2006 and related changes to our organization are on-going. As a result, we incurred $5.7 million of compensation, severance and employment-related expenses in 2006 related to the management transition.
Our principal business objective has been and will continue under our new management team to be maximizing long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable cash flow growth and increasing the long-term value of our real estate assets.
Operating Strategies. We derive substantially all of our revenue from tenants under existing leases at our properties. Our core operating strategy is to maximize and strengthen this revenue by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse base of tenants. In 2006, this strategy resulted in:
a 3.0% increase in same property net operating income over 2005;
· | an increase in the average rental rate of 6.5% to $12.53 per square foot on 434 lease renewals aggregating 1.4 million square feet; |
· | 181 new leases totaling 528,514 square feet at an average rental rate of $12.69 per square foot, representing a 7.8% increase over prior rents on a same-space basis; |
· | also, 155 additional new leases totaling 591,532 square feet at an average rental rate of $12.44 per square foot, and |
· | an occupancy rate of 95.0% in our core shopping center portfolio at December 31, 2006 versus 93.4% at December 31, 2005. |
In the long-term, our operating revenues are dependent on the continued occupancy of our properties, the rents that we are able to charge to our tenants and the ability of these tenants to make their rental payments. The main long-term threat to our business is our dependence on the viability of our anchor and other tenants. We believe, however, that our general operating risks are mitigated by concentrating on high-density neighborhoods in major metropolitan areas, leasing to strong tenants in the markets in which we own properties and maintaining a diverse tenant mix.
Investment Strategies. Our investment strategy is to deploy capital in projects that generate a return that exceeds our cost of capital and, at the same time, to sell assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. In 2006, this strategy resulted in:
· | the sale of the 29 properties in Texas for aggregate consideration of $405.7 million and an aggregate gain of $112.9 million; |
· | the acquisition of 15 retail properties, 5 outparcels and 3 land parcels for aggregate consideration of $270.9 million; and |
· | the completion and leasing of $45.4 million of development and redevelopment projects. |
Capital Strategy. Our business during 2006 was financed using our revolving lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of properties, issuance of public debt and assumed mortgages. Specifically, in 2006, our capital strategy resulted in:
· | the issuance of $250.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes at interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 6.25% and maturing in 2016 and 2017; |
· | our re-purchase of 3.0 million shares of our common stock for total consideration of $69.1 million representing an average price of $22.68 per share and |
· | the prepayment of our $75.0 million 7.25% senior notes due August 2007 and mortgage notes aggregating $25.5 million. |
At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balances on our lines of credit were in the aggregate $76.5 million, with $114.3 million of availability under those facilities. In order to fund our business in the future, we anticipate using similar financing sources. However, there can be no assurances that these sources will be available to us in the future at reasonable terms or at all. In addition, although we have enjoyed a low interest rate environment in recent years, the increase in interest rates over the last 18 months has had, and any future increases will have, an adverse effect on the cost of our future borrowings, including borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which are based on variable interest rates. As interest rates rise, the interest expense we incur on these loans will increase.
2007 Outlook. One of our principal focuses in 2007 will be the disposition of assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. These sales may negatively affect our rental revenue and earnings in the short term. In the long run, we believe that our business and the earnings generated from the remaining properties will benefit from the quality, location and demographic characteristics of that portfolio, as well as new properties developed or acquired, in part, with capital from those sales.
We continue to see a positive impact on our income as a result of the redevelopment of our shopping centers and higher rental rates on existing spaces that are experiencing tenant turnover. We anticipate that approximately $100 million of developments and redevelopment projects will be completed in the next two years. As redevelopment properties stabilize, spaces that were out of service begin generating revenue; in addition, spaces that were not out of service and that have expiring leases may generate higher revenue because we generally receive higher rent on new leases. Further, leases signed in 2005 and 2006 on spaces for which there was a previous tenant have on average been renewed at higher base rent than the prior lease.
Our business is generally dependent on the performance of the economy in the areas in which we own properties and the cost of financing available to fund our growth. Changes in the economic environment tend to have a direct effect on our tenants’ businesses and, therefore, their ability to continue to pay us rent or remain in occupancy of our properties, as well as the willingness of businesses to lease locations. The markets in which we currently own properties have continued to show signs of economic and population growth during 2006, and we expect those trends to continue in 2007. However, general economic slowdowns or other macro-economic changes in these markets may adversely affect our business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we refer to as GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. In addition, information relied upon by management in preparing such estimates includes internally generated financial and operating information, external market information, when available, and when necessary, information obtained from consultations with third party experts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A discussion of possible risks which may affect these estimates is included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this annual report. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if changes in the estimate or accrual could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
The most significant accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates, are as follows:
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. Leases with tenants are classified as operating leases. Generally, our leases contain fixed escalations which occur at specified times during the term of the lease. Base rents are recognized on a straight-line basis from when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease, net of valuation adjustments, based on management’s assessment of credit, collection and other business risk. We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to base rents, straight-line rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income taking into account our experience in the retail sector, available internal and external tenant credit information, payment history, industry trends, tenant credit-worthiness and remaining lease terms. In some cases, primarily relating to straight-line rents, the collection of these amounts extends beyond one year. The extended collection period for straight-line rents along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the non-recognition of a portion of straight-line rental income until the collection of such income is reasonably assured. These estimates have a direct impact on our earnings.
Real Estate Properties and Development Assets. The nature of our business as an owner, developer and operator of retail shopping centers means that we invest significant amounts of capital into our properties. Depreciation and maintenance costs relating to our properties constitute substantial costs for us as well as the industry as a whole. We capitalize real estate investments and depreciate them based on estimates of the assets’ physical and economic useful lives. The cost of our real estate investments is charged to depreciation expense over the estimated life of the asset using straight-line rates for financial statement purposes. We periodically review the estimated lives of our assets and implement changes, as necessary, to these estimates and, therefore, to our depreciation rates.
Properties and real estate under development are recorded at cost. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets generally from 5 years to a maximum of 40 years on buildings and improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. Tenant work and other major improvements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Minor improvements, furniture and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over estimated useful lives of the assets, generally from five to seven years.
Certain external and internal costs directly related to the development, redevelopment and leasing of real estate, including applicable salaries and the related direct costs, are capitalized. We capitalize acquisition and construction costs, property taxes, interest, insurance and other miscellaneous costs that are directly identifiable with a project, from pre-acquisition until the time that construction is complete and the development is ready for its intended use, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 67 and SFAS No. 34. We allocate the capitalized project costs to the various components of the project based on the components’ relative fair values. Our cost allocation method requires the use of management estimates regarding the fair market value of each project component. Management bases its estimates on current market appraisals, comparable sales, existing sale and purchase contracts, replacement cost, historical experience, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the fair market values of real estate assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates and anticipated returns on a project, as well as the gain or loss on disposition of the individual project components, could vary significantly from estimated amounts. The capitalized costs associated with developments and redevelopments are depreciated over the life of the improvement. Capitalized costs associated with leases are amortized over the base term of the lease. Unamortized leasing costs are charged to operating expense if the applicable tenant vacates before the expiration of its lease. Undepreciated tenant work is charged to operations if the applicable tenant vacates and the tenant work is replaced.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our real estate and related assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. We periodically review the lives of assets and any decrease in asset lives could have the effect of increasing depreciation expense while any analysis indicating that lives are longer than we have assumed could have the effect of decreasing depreciation expense.
Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of developments and redevelopments not yet placed in service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use. Generally, rental property is considered substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from completion of major construction activity.
When assets are identified as held for sale, management estimates the sales prices, net of selling costs, of such assets. Assets that will be sold together in a single transaction are aggregated in determining if the net sales proceeds of the group are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales prices of the assets, which have been identified for sale, are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded. An impairment charge may also be recorded for any asset if it is probable, in management’s estimation, that aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our real estate properties and other investments. The assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate charge to expense.
Real Estate Acquisitions. Upon acquisition of operating real estate properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases and lease origination costs), and assumed debt in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value. We evaluate the useful life of each amortizable intangible asset in each reporting period and account for any changes in such estimated useful life over the revised remaining useful life.
Securities. We have investments that consist primarily of equity securities. The equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices. Changes in the fair value of the equity investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Goodwill. We are required to perform annual impairment tests of our goodwill, and more frequently in certain circumstances. Goodwill can no longer be amortized. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires us to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value.
Management cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled $13.1 million at December 31, 2006. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our tenants, or a material negative change in our relationships with significant tenants.
Share-based and other Incentive Awards. With the adoption of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method on January 1, 2006, we have had to recognize all share-based awards to employees, including grants of stock options, in our financial statements based on their fair values. Because there is no observable market for our options, management must make critical estimates in determining the fair value at the grant date. Variations in the assumptions will have a direct impact on our net income. Critical estimates in valuing the fair value at the grant date and the assumptions that marketplace participants would use in making estimates of fair value include: expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, involuntary conversion due to change in control and expected exercise history of similar grants.
In addition, in the employment agreements for three of our new executive officers, the employees have the right to an additional cash bonus at the end or early termination of those agreements based on the performance of our stock versus a group of our peers. In assessing the annual compensation costs related to these future payments, management is required to make critical assumptions and estimates in determining the future payment.
Management’s estimates of the compensation costs under 123(R) and these agreements are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may not always reflect unanticipated events and changes in circumstances may occur.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The guidance prescribes a three-step model for determining whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and requires disclosures about unrealized losses on investments. The accounting guidance became effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements became effective for annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1, Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, (FSP EITF 03-11). FSP EITF 03-1-1 delayed the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue 03-1. In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This statement specifically nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10-18 of EITF 03-1 and references existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and we continued to apply relevant “other-than-temporary” guidance, as provided for in FSP EITF 03-1-1 during fiscal 2005. The adoption in 2006 of the guidance of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This standard requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. This standard replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and applies to all awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after July 1, 2005. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance date of SFAS No. 123(R) through an amendment of Regulation S-X. Public companies with calendar year-ends would be required to adopt the provisions of the standard effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2005. The adoption on January 1, 2006 by us of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method has had an impact on our results of operations, although it has had no impact on our overall financial position. We have elected to apply the modified prospective transition method to all past awards outstanding and unvested as of the date of adoption. However, had we adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact as presented in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correction (SFAS 154”), which replaces APB Opinions No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, on the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, and was adopted by us in the first quarter of 2006. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the Variability to be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) that became effective for the third quarter of 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (“EITF 06-02”). EITF 06-02 provides that an employee’s right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the benefit. The provisions of EITF 06-02 will be effective as of January 1, 2007 and will impact the accounting for certain of our employment arrangements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). In summary, FIN 48 requires that all tax positions subject to SFAS No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes, to be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with any adjustment in a company’s tax provision being accounted for as a cumulative effect of accounting change in beginning equity. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to materially impact how we measure fair value.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“SFAS 158”).
SFAS 158 requires recognition of the over funded or under funded status of a benefit postretirement plan in the statement of financial position, as well as recognition of changes in that funded status through comprehensive income in the year in which they occur. SFAS 158 also requires a change in the measurement of a plan’s assets and benefit obligations as of the end date of the employer’s fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the applicable provisions of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and the measurement date provisions are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
We derive substantially all of our revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. These revenues include fixed base rents, recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants and percentage rents that are based on specified percentages of tenants’ revenues, in each case as provided in the particular leases.
Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance, utilities and other expenses, general and administrative expenses, which include payroll, office expenses, professional fees and other administrative expenses, and interest expense, primarily on mortgage debt, unsecured senior debt and revolving credit facilities. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization on our properties. We also capitalize certain expenses, such as taxes and interest, incurred in respect of property 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 change in our statement of operations line items is related to these changes in our property portfolio.
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005. The following summarizes items from our audited consolidated statements of operations that we think are important in understanding our results of operations and/or those items which have significantly changed in 2006 compared to 2005 (in thousands):
| | For the year ended December 31, | |

Total revenue increased by $23.2 million, or 11.0%, to $233.4 million in 2006 from $210.3 million in 2005. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2006 increased revenue by approximately $13.0 million; |
· | The full year 2006 benefited from properties acquired during 2005 which increased revenue by approximately $1.4 million; |
· | Same property revenue increased by approximately $7.0 million in 2006 due to higher termination fees, expense recovery revenue and increases in rental rates; |
· | The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased revenue by approximately $247,000, and |
· | Property management and leasing services revenue increased by $1.6 million as a result of providing property management and leasing services for the Texas properties. |
Property operating expenses increased by $9.4 million, or 16.9%, to $65.1 million for 2006 from $55.7 million in 2005. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2006 increased operating expenses by approximately $5.5 million; |
· | Properties acquired during 2005 increased the full year 2006 operating expenses by approximately $814,000; |
· | Same property operating expenses increased by approximately $2.5 million as a result of higher repairs and other maintenance expenses, and |
· | The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased operating expenses by $644,000. |
Property management and leasing services expenses increased by $1.6 million as a result of providing property management and leasing services for the Texas properties.
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $7.0 million, or 20.0%, to $42.0 million for 2006 from $35.0 million in 2005. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2006 increased depreciation and amortization by $5.3 million; |
· | Properties acquired during 2005 increased the full year 2006 depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $326,000; |
· | Same property depreciation and amortization increased by $1.3 million related to leasing and tenant improvement amortization, and |
· | Completion of development and redevelopment properties increased depreciation and amortization by $25,000. |
General and administrative expenses increased by $9.6 million, or 54.5%, to $26.7 million for 2006 from $17.3 million in 2005. Included in this increase were $5.7 million of compensation, employment-related expenses due to our executive management changes, $580,000 in higher fees paid to our non-employee members of the board of directors, $419,000 in additional travel and entertainment expenses, $442,000 of additional office expenses, $196,000 of computers and related services, $149,000 of depreciation related to additional furniture and fixture purchases, and write-offs of $1.0 million of abandoned pre-acquisition due diligence costs and $1.1 million related to abandoned corporate transactions that did not materialize.
Interest expense increased by $6.7 million, or 13.9%, to $54.5 million for 2006 from $47.8 million in 2005. This difference was primarily due to:
| · | An increase of $13.6 million attributable to the issuance in September 2005 of $120.0 million principal amount of 5.375% unsecured senior notes, the issuance in March 2006 of $125.0 million principal amount of 6.0% unsecured senior notes and the issuance in August 2006 of $125.0 million principal amount of 6.25% unsecured senior notes, all of which was partially offset by the decrease of $1.9 million in interest on the repayment in March 2006 of the $50.0 million principal amount of 7.77% unsecured senior notes and the prepayment in August 2006 of the $75.0 million principal amount of 7.25% unsecured senior notes; |
| · | An increase of $843,000 in interest expense attributable to an increase in the variable interest rate on the $100.0 million notional principal swap of our unsecured notes; |
| · | A decrease of $1.3 million of interest expense attributable to a lower outstanding balance on our line of credit; |
| · | A decrease of $2.0 million of interest expense attributable to the repayment of certain mortgage notes, and |
| · | A decrease of $2.5 million of interest expense related to an increase in capitalized interest attributable to development and redevelopment activity. |
Investment income for 2006 primarily relates to interest earned on the funds held in escrow pending the acquisition of replacement properties and $4.3 million of dividend income related to the $1.20 per ordinary share dividend declared by DIM Vastgoed N.V., a Dutch company in which we own 3.8 million ordinary shares as of March 2006. The 2005 investment income primarily relates to the gain of $5.2 million on the sale of common and preferred stock of Cedar Shopping Centers.
Gain on sale of real estate was $6.9 million for 2006 as a result of selling nine land parcels, of which six were related to the sale of the Texas properties, for a gross sales price of $18.5 million. There were no land sales during 2005. These gains are included in continuing operations rather than discontinued operations because they had no operating income.
Equity in income from unconsolidated joint venture was $1.7 million for 2006. This income is primarily due to Parcel F LLC, an entity in which we had a 50% interest, selling its land parcel and our pro-rata share of the gain.
We sold four income-producing properties in individual transactions, the 29 Texas properties and, at December 31, 2006, have one property held for sale that qualifies for discontinued operations. The $4.8 million of operating results of these properties are reflected as operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale. The sales of the properties during 2006 produced an aggregate gain of $115.2 million. The 2005 operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale of $20.7 million reflects a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2005 and 2006 and the one property held for sale at December 31, 2006 that qualifies as discontinued operations. We recognized gains of $11.5 million in 2005 related to the sales of properties during that year.
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $84.2 million, or 90.8 %, to $177.0 million for 2006 from $92.7 million in 2005.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004. The following summarizes items from our audited consolidated statements of operations that we think are important in understanding our operations and/or those items which significantly changed in 2005 compared to 2004:
| | For the year ended December 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | Change | |
| | (in thousands) | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 210,259 | | $ | 187,257 | | | 12.3 | % |
Property operating expenses | | $ | 55,701 | | $ | 50,005 | | | 11.4 | % |
Rental property depreciation and amortization | | $ | 34,996 | | $ | 29,976 | | | 16.8 | % |
General and administrative expenses | | $ | 17,281 | | $ | 16,601 | | | 4.1 | % |
Interest expense | | $ | 47,795 | | $ | 41,486 | | | 15.2 | % |
Investment income | | $ | 7,941 | | $ | 2,346 | | | 238.5 | % |
Discontinued operations | | $ | 32,185 | | $ | 47,904 | | | 32.8 | % |
Total revenue increased by $23.0 million, or 12.3%, to $210.3 million in 2005 from $187.3 million in 2004. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2005 increased revenue by approximately $426,000; |
· | The full year 2005 benefited from properties acquired during 2004 which increased revenue by approximately $11.5 million; |
· | Same property revenue increased by approximately $9.3 million in 2005 due to higher termination fees, expense recovery revenue and increases in leasing rates; |
· | The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased revenue by approximately $1.4 million, and |
· | Property management and leasing services revenue increased by $320,000 as a result of providing additional leasing services to third parties. |
Property operating expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 11.4%, to $55.7 million for 2005 from $50.0 million in 2004. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2005 increased operating expenses by approximately $210,000; |
· | Properties acquired during 2004 increased the full year 2005 operating expenses by approximately $1.1 million; |
· | Same property operating expenses increased by $4.0 million as a result of higher hurricane-related clean up and repairs and other maintenance expenses, and |
· | The completion of development and redevelopment properties increased operating expenses by $466,000. |
Property management and leasing services expense increased in 2005 by approximately $147,000 as a result of providing additional leasing services to third parties.
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $5.0 million, or 16.8%, to $35.0 million for 2005 from $30.0 million in 2004. The following factors accounted for this difference:
· | Properties acquired during 2005 increased depreciation and amortization by $129,000; |
· | Properties acquired during 2004 increased the full year 2005 depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $2.8 million; |
· | Same property depreciation and amortization increased by $1.9 million related to leasing and tenant improvement amortization, and |
· | Completion of development and redevelopment properties increased depreciation and amortization by $198,000. |
General and administrative expenses increased by $680,000, or 4.1%, to $17.3 million for 2005 from $16.6 million in 2004. Included in this increase were $1.0 million of compensation and employment related expenses due to additional staffing related to our growth, expansion into the northeast and additional staffing to meet compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; $97,000 related to computer upgrade, software and licenses expenses; $113,000 of additional office expenses and $228,000 of depreciation expense related to additional furniture and fixture purchases. These increases were offset by a reduction of $231,000 in professional fees related to compliance costs incurred in 2004 to implement requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and $698,000 less in abandoned pre-acquisition due diligence costs.
Interest expense increased by $6.3 million, or 15.2%, to $47.8 million for 2005 from $41.5 million in 2004. This difference was primarily due to:
· | An increase of $1.9 million attributable to the $200 million unsecured senior notes issued in March 2004 and $1.8 million attributable to the $120 million unsecured senior notes issued in September 2005; |
· | An increase of $1.6 million in interest expense attributable to an increase in the variable interest rate on the $100 million swap; |
· | An increase of $1.3 million of interest expense attributable to the assumption of mortgage debt related to the acquisition of properties during 2004; |
· | An increase of $2.3 million of interest expense attributable to outstanding principal balances on our line credit, resulting from the payoff of $26.7 million of mortgage notes, acquisitions of property and development activities and increase in the variable interest rate on the borrowings; |
· | A decrease of $2.5 million of interest expense attributable to the payoff of $26.7 million of mortgage notes and amortization of loan principal, and |
· | An increase in capitalized interest due to development and redevelopment activities which decreased interest expense by $150,000. |
Investment income increased by $5.6 million or 238.5% to $7.9 million for 2005 from $2.3 million in 2004 due to a $5.0 million gain on the sale of Cedar Shopping Center common and preferred stock and an increase of $906,000 of dividends received on the shares prior to their sale in 2005, offset by a $554,000 reduction in interest income on the Winn Dixie bonds. We ceased recognizing interest income on the bonds until the payment of the interest is received from Winn Dixie.
During 2006, we sold four income-producing properties in individual transactions, the 29 Texas properties and at December 31, 2006, have one property held for sale that qualifies for discontinued operations. The 2005 operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale of $20.7 million reflect a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2005 and 2006. The sales of properties during 2005 produced an aggregate gain of $11.5 million. The 2004 operations of income-producing properties sold or held for sale of $25.8 million reflect a reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2004, 2005 and 2006 and the one property held for sale at December 31, 2006 that qualifies as discontinued operations. We recognized gains of $22.2 million in 2004 related to the sales of properties during 2004.
During 2004, the limited partners of IRT Partners LP elected to convert their partnership interest into shares of our common stock. This conversion resulted in a decrease in the minority interest.
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $5.1 million, or 5.2 %, to $92.7 million for 2005 from $97.8 million in 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations. The cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our shareholders in the form of dividends. Our status as a REIT requires that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (including net capital gain) each year, as defined in the Code.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of obligations under our capital and operating leases, normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring company expenditures, such as general and administrative expenses, non-recurring company expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common stockholders. Historically, we have satisfied these requirements principally through cash generated from operations.
Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions. We expect to fund these through a combination of sources which we believe will be available to us, including additional and replacement secured and unsecured borrowings, issuance of additional equity, joint venture relationships relating to existing properties or new acquisitions, and property dispositions. Overall capital requirements in 2007 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties and the timing and cost of development of future phases of existing properties.
The cash needed to execute our operating and investing strategies, as well as to pay our debt at maturity, must come from one or more of the following sources:
· | cash provided by operations that is not distributed to stockholders, |
· | unsecured debt financing and/or mortgage financings, |
· | proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity securities, |
· | proceeds of property dispositions, or |
· | other debt and equity alternatives, including formation of joint ventures, in a manner consistent with our intention to operate with a conservative debt structure. |
It is management’s intention that we have access to the capital resources necessary to operate, expand and develop our business. As a result, we intend to operate with and maintain a conservative capital structure that will allow us to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios as part of our commitment to investment-grade debt ratings.
While we believe that cash generated from operations, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and our access to other longer term capital sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, there are risks inherent in our business, including those risks described in Item 1A - “Risk Factors,” that may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, and, therefore, on our ability to meet these requirements.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $1.5 million of cash held in escrow and no available cash and cash equivalents on hand. However, cash and cash equivalents are not a good indicator of our liquidity. We have revolving credit facilities with aggregate potential borrowing limits up to $280.0 million, which we can utilize to initially finance the acquisition of properties and meet other short-term working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2006, we had $114.3 million available that can be drawn under our revolving credit facilities. We drew an additional $35.0 million during the first two months of 2007 to fund acquisitions.
Summary of Cash Flows. The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (in thousands):
| | For the year ended December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | Increase (Decrease) | |
Cash provided by operating activities$ | | $ | 94,643 | | $ | 117,192 | | $ | (22,549 | ) |

Cash and cash equivalents, end of year | | | - | | | 102 | | | | |
Our principal source of operating cash flow is cash generated from our rental properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to fund operating expenses, debt service and quarterly dividends. In addition, over the past year, we have raised funds through the issuance of debt securities, the sale of the 29 Texas properties and the sale of selected individual properties.
Our principal demands for liquidity are payroll, maintenance expenditures, repairs, property taxes, insurance premiums and tenant improvements relating to rental properties, leasing costs, acquisition and development activities, debt service and repayment obligations and distributions to our stockholders. The principal sources of funding for our operations are operating cash flows, the sale of properties, the issuance of equity and debt securities, the placement of mortgage loans and periodic borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.
Cash provided by investing activities is usually from the sale of properties. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the source of funds was primarily from the proceeds of the disposition of our Texas properties and securities sales. Cash used in investing activities is to fund acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs, recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures and leasing expenses. We invest in development projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing and property management skills and invest in existing properties that meet our investment criteria.
Cash used in financing activities is primarily for the repayment of indebtedness and payment of our dividend. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we also repurchased $69.1 million of our common stock. Cash provided by financing activities is primarily from the issuance of debt and equity securities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we issued $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes and repaid $125.0 million of senior unsecured notes.

Each of the existing mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of our properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $76.4 million contain prohibitions on transfers of ownership which may have been violated by our previous issuances of common stock or in connection with past acquisitions and may be violated by transactions involving our capital stock in the future. If a violation were established, it could serve as a basis for a lender to accelerate amounts due under the affected mortgage. To date, no lender has notified us that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. In the event that the mortgage holders declare defaults under the mortgage documents, we will, if required, prepay the remaining mortgage from existing resources, refinancing of such mortgages, borrowings under our other lines of credit or other sources of financing. Based on discussions with various lenders, current credit market conditions and other factors, we believe that the mortgages will not be accelerated. Accordingly, we believe that the violations of these prohibitions will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

These notes have also been guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries.

(1) The rate in effect at December 31, 2006
In January 2006, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the sole lead arranger and administrative agent. This facility has a maximum principal amount of $275 million and bears interest at our option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.45% to 1.15%, depending on the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long term notes, or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%. The facility is guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries. Based on our current rating, the LIBOR spread is 0.80%. The facility also includes a competitive bid option which allows us to conduct auctions among the participating banks for borrowings in an amount not to exceed $137.5 million, a $35 million swing line facility for short-term borrowings and a $20 million letter of credit commitment and may, at our request, be increased up to a total commitment of $400 million. The facility expires January 17, 2009 with a one-year extension option. In addition, the facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, interest coverage, EBITDA coverage ratios, unencumbered properties and permitted investments which may limit the amount available under the facility. The facility also prohibits stockholder distributions in excess of 95% of funds from operations calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending. Notwithstanding this limitation, we can make stockholder distributions to avoid income taxes on asset sales. If a default under the facility exists, our ability to pay dividends would be limited to the amount necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT unless the default is a payment default or bankruptcy event in which case we would be prohibited from paying any dividends
We also have a $5.0 million unsecured credit facility with City National Bank of Florida, of which there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2006 and $165,000 outstanding balance at December 31, 2005. This facility also provides collateral for $1.4 million in outstanding letters of credit.
As of December 31, 2006, the availability under the various credit facilities was approximately $114.3 million, net of outstanding balances and letters of credit.
We may not have sufficient funds on hand to repay balloon amounts on our indebtedness at maturity. Therefore, we expect to refinance this indebtedness either through additional mortgage financing secured by individual properties or groups of properties, by unsecured private or public debt offerings or by additional equity offerings. Our results of operations could be affected if the cost of new debt is greater or lesser than the cost of the maturing debt. If new financing is not available, we could be required to sell assets and our business would be adversely affected.
Shelf Registration. We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will permit us, from time to time, to offer and sell various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares and warrants. The registration statement provides us additional flexibility in accessing capital markets to fund future growth and for general corporate purposes.
Equity. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we issued 383,230 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options at prices ranging from $9.73 to $21.07 per share. We also issued 211,070 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $22.92 to $24.01 per share pursuant to our Divided Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. While reinvestments and purchases under this plan are currently suspended, as of December 31, 2006, there were approximately 5.4 million shares available for sale under the plan if reinstated.
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, 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 expansion and development efforts or to the extent we discover suitable acquisition targets the purchase price of which exceeds our existing liquidity, we would be required to seek additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will 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.
Distributions. We believe that we currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify in the future, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While we intend to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, we also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as we consider necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of our real estate and other corporate purposes while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT. Our cash distributions for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $162.7 million.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, we may have off-balance-sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures. For example, from April through December, we had a 20% interest in a joint venture that owned 29 properties in Texas, and we accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We sold our 20% interest in the joint venture in December and had no unconsolidated joint ventures reported using the equity method of accounting at December 31, 2006.
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 Financial Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
Letters of Credit. As of December 31, 2006, we have pledged letters of credit for $6.1 as additional security for certain property matters. The letters of credit are secured by our revolving credit facilities.
Construction Commitments. We have entered into construction commitments and have outstanding as of December 2006 to fund $19.7 million, based on current plans and estimates, in order to complete current development and redevelopment projects. These obligations, comprised principally of construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by our available credit facilities.
Operating Lease Obligations. Certain of our properties are subject to a ground lease, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $100,000.
Non-Recourse Debt Guarantees. Under certain of our and joint venture non-recourse mortgage loans, we could, under certain circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions, such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. In management’s judgment, it would be extremely unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these guarantees that will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow of the Company.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning facilities or gas stations at our shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor their operations. Additionally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in our portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. However, we have environmental insurance policies covering most of our properties.
We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.
Inflation and Recession Considerations
Most of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. A small number of our leases also include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on a tenant’s gross sales above predetermined levels, which sales generally increase as prices rise, or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices.
Our financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which our properties are located. An economic recession, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, could result in the inability of some of our existing tenants to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect our ability to attract or retain tenants.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest Rate Risk. The primary market risk to which we have exposure is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect our net income and cash flows. As changes in market conditions occur and interest rates increase or decrease, interest expense on the variable component of our debt will move in the same direction. We intend to utilize variable rate indebtedness available under our unsecured revolving credit facilities in order to initially fund future acquisitions, development costs and for other operating needs. With respect to our fixed rate mortgage notes and fixed rate senior unsecured notes, changes in interest rates generally do not affect our interest expense as these notes are predominantly at fixed-rates for extended terms. Because we have the intent to hold our existing fixed rate notes either to maturity or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes do not pose an interest rate risk to our results of operations or our working capital position, only upon the refinancing of that mortgage. Our possible risk is from increases in long-term interest rates that may occur over a period of several years, as this may decrease the overall value of our real estate.
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $176.5 million of outstanding floating rate debt, including $100.0 million of fixed rate borrowings that we have converted to floating rate borrowings through the use of hedging agreements. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt is material as of December 31, 2006, in relation to our $1.1 billion of outstanding debt, $2.1 billion of total assets and $2.0 billion total equity market capitalization as of that date.
If interest rates on our variable rate debt increase by 1%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.8 million. If interest rates on our variable rate debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.8 million. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt remains at approximately $176.5 million (including the $100 million of fixed rate debt converted to floating rate debt through the use of hedging agreements), the balance as of December 31, 2006.
The fair value of our fixed rate debt is $896.0 million, which includes the mortgage notes and fixed rate portion of senior unsecured notes payable (excluding the unamortized premium). If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair value of our total fixed rate debt would decrease by approximately $41.5 million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $51.8 million. This assumes that our total outstanding fixed rate debt remains at $886.6 million, the balance as of December 31, 2006.
Hedging. To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We require that the hedges or derivative financial instruments be effective in managing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as such at the inception of the contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, resulting in some ineffectiveness, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be included in earnings. Additionally, any derivative instrument used for risk management that becomes ineffective is marked-to-market each period and would be charged to operations.
We are exposed to credit risk, in the event of non-performance by the counter-parties to the hedge agreements. We believe that we mitigate our credit risk by entering into these agreements with major financial institutions. Net interest differentials to be paid or received under a swap contract and/or collar agreement are included in interest expense as incurred or earned.
We have entered into treasury locks for an anticipated financing by August 2007 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.10% per annum on notional amounts aggregating $85.0 million which were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments relating to an anticipated issuance of fixed rate borrowings
During 2004, concurrent with the issuance of $200 million unsecured senior notes, we entered into a $100.0 million notional principal variable rate interest swap with an estimated fair value of $3.8 million as of December 31, 2006. This swap converted fixed rate debt to variable rate based on the 6 month LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%, and matures April 15, 2009.
The estimated fair value of our derivative financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
Other Market Risks
As of December 31, 2006, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk).
In making thse determination and for purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission's market risk disclosure requirements, we have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments at December 31, 2006 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 fair value amounts as of December 31, 2006, future estimates of fair value and the amounts which may be paid or realized in the future may differ significantly from amounts presented.
The financial statements and supplementary data required by Regulation S-X are included in this Form 10-K commencing on page F-1.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Equity One, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting, which requires the use of certain estimates and judgments, and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
· | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Reasonable assurance is based on the premise that the cost of internal controls should not exceed the benefits derived. Reasonable assurance includes the understanding that there is a remote likelihood that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on the following page of this Annual Report.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Equity One, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Equity One, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods then ended of the Company and our report dated February 26, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Equity One, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Equity One, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” applying the modified prospective method at the beginning of fiscal year 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Properties
Income-producing property is stated at cost and includes all costs related to acquisition, development and construction, including tenant improvements, interest incurred during development, costs of predevelopment and certain direct and indirect costs of development. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized.
The Company is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities and will not be successful in all cases; costs incurred related to these acquisition opportunities are expensed when it is probable that the Company will not be successful in the acquisition.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Land improvements | 40 years |
Buildings | 30-40 years |
Building improvements | 5-40 years |
Tenant improvements | Over the shorter of the term of the related lease or economic useful life |
Equipment | 5-7 years |
Business Combinations
The results of operations of any acquired property are included in the Company’s financial statements as of the date of its acquisition.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies and properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties (other than in a forced or liquidation sale). In order to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies and properties to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Company identifies and estimates the fair value of the land, buildings and improvements, reviews the leases to determine the existence of, and estimates the fair value of, any contractual or other legal rights and investigates the existence of, and estimates the fair value of, any other identifiable intangible assets. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangibles.
The cost approach is used as the primary method to estimate the fair value of the buildings, improvements and other assets. The cost approach is based upon the current costs to develop the particular asset in that geographic location, less an allowance for physical and functional depreciation. The assigned value for buildings and improvements is based on an as if vacant basis. The market value approach is used as the primary method to estimate the fair value of the land. The determination of the fair value of contractual intangibles is based on the costs incurred to originate a lease, including commissions and legal costs, excluding any new leases negotiated in connection with the purchase of a property. In-place lease values are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease and the Company’s overall relationship with each tenant. Among the factors considered in the allocation of these values include the nature of the existing relationship with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, the expectation of lease renewals, the estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, given the specific market conditions. Above-market and below-market lease values are determined based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in-place at the time of acquisition and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The value of contractual intangibles is amortized over the remaining term of each lease. The Company allocates no value to customer relationship intangibles if it has pre-existing business relationships with the retailers. Other than as discussed above, the Company has determined that its real estate properties do not have any other significant identifiable intangibles.
Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangibles and the assumptions of what marketplace participants would use in making estimates of fair value include, but are not limited to: future expected cash flows, estimated carrying costs, estimated origination costs, lease up periods and tenant risk attributes, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired lease will continue to be used in the Company’s portfolio and discount rates used in these calculations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may not always reflect unanticipated events and changes in circumstances may occur. In making such estimates, management uses a number of sources, including appraisals, third party cost segregation studies or other market data, as well as, information obtained in its pre-acquisition due diligence and marketing and leasing activities.
In the event that a tenant were to terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of each related intangible would be expensed.
Intangibles associated with property acquisitions are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Construction in progress and land held for development
Land held for development is stated at cost. Costs incurred during the predevelopment stage are capitalized once management has identified a site, determined that the project is feasible and it is probable that the Company is able to proceed with the project. Properties undergoing significant renovations and improvements are considered under development. The Company estimates the cost of a property undergoing renovations as a basis for determining eligible costs. Interest, real estate taxes and other costs directly related to the properties and projects under development are capitalized until the property is ready for its intended use. Similar costs related to properties not under development are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company writes off costs related to predevelopment projects when it determines that it will no longer pursue the project.
Total interest expense capitalized to construction in progress and land held for development was $5.8 million, $3.4 million, and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Property Held for Sale
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the definition of a component of an entity, assuming no significant continuing involvement, requires that operating properties that are sold or classified as held for sale be accounted for as discontinued operations. Given the nature of real estate sales contracts, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow potential buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, properties under contract may not close within the expected time period, or may not close at all. Due to these uncertainties, it is not likely that the Company can meet the criteria of Statement 144 prior to the sale formally closing. Therefore, any properties categorized as held for sale generally represent only those properties that management has determined meet the criteria and are likely to close within the requirements set forth in Statement 144. Accordingly, the results of operations of operating properties disposed of, or classified as held for sale for which the Company has no significant continuing involvement are reflected as discontinued operations.
Long-lived assets
On a periodic basis, or whenever events or change in circumstances indicate, the Company assesses whether the value of the real estate properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if it is probable that management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the historical net carrying value of the property. In management’s estimate of cash flows, it considers facts such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In addition, the undiscounted cash flows may consider a probability weighted cash flow estimation approach when alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of a long-lived asset are under consideration or a range is estimated. The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management and considers the expected course of action at the balance sheet date. Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated actions could impact the determination of whether impairment exits and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s net income. To the extent that impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.
When assets are identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company estimates the sales prices, net of selling costs, of such assets. Assets that will be sold together in a single transaction are aggregated in determining if the net sales proceeds of the group are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales prices of the assets, which have been identified for sale, are expected to be less than the net book value of the assets, an impairment charge is recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $86,000 of impairment loss was recognized related to a property that was subsequently sold and is reflected in income from discontinued operations.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties and other investments. The assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate charge to expense.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash Held in Escrow
Cash held in escrow represents the cash proceeds of property sales that are being held by qualified intermediaries in anticipation of the acquisition of replacement properties in tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include amounts billed to tenants and accrued expense recoveries due from tenants. Management evaluates the collectibility of these receivables and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts to
reflect amounts estimated to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1.6 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Securities
The Company’s investments consist primarily of equity and debt securities. The Company’s equity investments are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based on current market prices. Changes in the fair value of the equity investments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s debt securities are recorded at cost and are classified as held-to-maturity, with the related discount/premium amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method.
For securities classified as held-to-maturity, the Company determines whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. The determination of other-than-temporary declines in value requires significant estimates and assumptions by management and requires the consideration of expected outcomes that are out of management’s control. Subsequent changes in estimates, assumptions used or expected outcomes could impact the determination of whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary and whether the effects could materially impact the Company’s financial position or net income. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security will be written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down will be included in earnings (that is, accounted for as a realized loss).
As of December 31, 2006, the Company indirectly owned approximately 3.8 million ordinary shares of DIM Vastgoed N.V. (“DIM”), representing 48.7% of the total outstanding ordinary shares. In addition, the Company has committed to buy, in September 2007, certificates representing an additional 45,000 ordinary shares for total consideration of $941,000. DIM is a public company organized under the laws of the Netherlands, the shares of which are listed on Euronext Amsterdam and which operates as a closed-end investment company owning and operating a portfolio of 20 shopping center properties aggregating approximately 2.5 million square feet in the southeastern United States. DIM’s capital structure includes priority shares and ordinary shares. The priority shares are 100% owned by a foundation that is controlled by its supervisory board. The ordinary shares have voting rights; however, only the priority shares have the right to nominate members to the supervisory board and to approve certain other corporate matters. As of December 31, 2006, management believes that the investment in DIM should be accounted for as an available-for-sale security because, as of that date, the Company was unable to exert significant influence over DIM’s operating or financial policies and, based on DIM’s organizational and capital structure, the Company was unable to participate in the affairs of DIM’s supervisory board.
As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of DIM’s ordinary shares is less than the carrying amount of the Company’s investment. The Company’s aggregate cost is $77.9 million and, based on the closing market price on December 31, 2006, the ordinary shares of DIM had a fair value of $71.4 million. This results in an unrealized loss of $6.5 million. The Company has evaluated the near-term prospects of DIM in relation to the severity and the duration of the impairment, the thin trading market for DIM shares and the ability and intent to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of the carrying cost. As a result of these factors and the Company’s own evaluation of the net asset value of the underlying properties of DIM, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned 133,800 shares of preferred stock of a publicly traded REIT that had a fair value of $3.6 million, a carrying amount of $3.4 million and an unrealized gain of approximately $200,000.
During 2006, the Company held debt securities of Winn Dixie Stores, Inc. (“Winn Dixie”). Upon the emergence from bankruptcy protection in November 2006, the Company transferred its debt securities from held to maturity to available for sale and sold its holdings with a cost basis of $12.4 million for approximately $12.1 million, which resulted in a net gain of $247,000. Also, as a result of Winn Dixie’s reorganization, a portion of the debt securities were converted into common stock of Winn Dixie.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned 13,450 shares of common stock of Winn Dixie that had fair value of $182,000, a carrying amount of $170,000 and an unrealized gain of approximately $12,000.
The specific identification method is used to determine realized gain or loss on securities sold.
The following table reflects the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed other-than-temporarily impaired (in thousands):
| | As of December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
Investment | | Fair Value | | Unrealized Loss | | Fair Value | | Unrealized Loss | |
Equity securities | | $ | 71,358 | | $ | 6,578 | | | - | | | - | |
Debt securities | | | - | | | - | | $ | 11,130 | | $ | 788 | |
Deferred Costs and Intangibles
Deferred costs and intangibles included in other assets consist of loan origination fees, leasing costs and the value of intangible assets when a property was acquired. Loan and other fees directly related to rental property financing with third parties are amortized over the term of the loan which approximates the effective interest method. Direct salaries, third party fees and other costs incurred by the Company to originate a lease are capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related leases. Intangible assets consist of in-place lease values, tenant origination costs and above/below market rents that were acquired in connection with the acquisition of the properties and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related leases.
Deposits
Deposits included in other assets are composed of funds held by various institutions for future payments of property taxes, insurance and improvements, utility and other service deposits.
Goodwill
Goodwill has been recorded to reflect the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in various business acquisitions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and no longer amortizes goodwill.
The Company is required to perform annual, or more frequently in certain circumstances, impairment tests of its goodwill. The Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment in November of each year. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill requires the Company to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill which is compared to its corresponding carrying amount. During the periods presented, no impairment of goodwill was incurred.
The key assumptions management employs to determine the fair value of the Company’s reporting units (each property is considered a reporting unit) include (a) net operating income; (b) cash flows; and (c) an estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit, which was based on the Company’s experience in evaluating properties for acquisition and relevant market conditions. A variance in the net operating income or discount rate could have a significant impact on the amount of any goodwill impairment charge recorded.
Management cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled $13.1 million at December 31, 2006. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the Company’s tenant base, or a materially negative change in its relationships with significant tenants.
Goodwill was included in the determination of the gain on disposal of real estate due to the disposition of certain properties. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, $604,000, $325,000, and $539,000, respectively, was included in the gain on sale.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Ventures
The Company had direct equity investments in joint venture projects. The Company accounts for these investments in unconsolidated ventures using the equity method of accounting, as the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary of, these entities. These investments are initially recorded at cost, as “Investments in and advances to unconsolidated ventures,” and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.
Minority interest
On January 1, 1999, Equity One (Walden Woods) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a limited partnership as a general partner. An income-producing shopping center (“Walden Woods Village”) was contributed by its owners (the “Minority Partners”), and the Company contributed 93,656 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Walden Woods Shares”) to the limited partnership at an agreed-upon price of $10.30 per share. Based on this per share price and the net value of property contributed by the Minority Partners, the limited partners received 93,656 partnership units. The Company has entered into a Redemption Agreement with the Minority Partners whereby the Minority Partners can request that the Company purchase either their limited partnership units or any shares of common stock which they received in exchange for their partnership units at a price of $10.30 per unit or per share no earlier than two years nor later than fifteen years after the exchange date of January 1, 1999. As a result of the Redemption Agreement, the Company has consolidated the accounts of the partnership with the Company’s financial data. In addition, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the Minority Partners do not have an interest in the Walden Woods Shares except to the extent of dividends. Accordingly, a preference in earnings has been allocated to the Minority Partners to the extent of the dividends declared. The Walden Woods Shares are not considered outstanding in the consolidated financial statements and are excluded from the share count in the calculation of primary earnings per share.
Until January 1, 2006, the Company had a controlling general partnership interest (75% interest) in Venice Plaza and recorded a minority interest for the limited partners’ share of equity. In January 2006, the Company acquired the minority partner’s interest (and eliminated the related minority interest).
The Company has controlling interests in two joint ventures that, together, own the Company’s Sunlake-development project. The Company has funded all of the acquisition costs, is required to fund any necessary development and operating costs, receives an 8% preferred return on its advances and is entitled to 60% of the profits thereafter. The minority partners are not required to make contributions and, to date, have not contributed any capital. The joint ventures are in the process of obtaining the required approvals and permits to continue their mixed-use business plan. No minority interest has been recorded as the venture has incurred operating losses after taking into account the Company’s preferred return.
The Company has a controlling membership interest in Dolphin Village Partners, LLC. The Company has funded all of the acquisition costs, is required to fund any necessary development and operating costs, receives an 8% preferred return on its advances and is entitled to 50% of the profits thereafter. The minority partner is not required to make contributions and, to date, has not contributed any capital. The joint venture encompasses the Dolphin Village Shopping Center and is in the process of obtaining the required approvals and permits to continue its mixed-use business plan. No minority interest has been recorded as the venture has incurred operating losses after taking into account the Company’s preferred return.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. These accounting standards require the Company to measure derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, at fair value and to recognize them in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, and ineffective portions of hedges, are recognized in earnings in the current period.
The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company requires that the hedges or derivative financial instruments be effective in managing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as such at the inception of the contract. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, resulting in some ineffectiveness, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be included in earnings. Additionally, any derivative instrument used for risk management that becomes ineffective is marked-to-market each period.
The Company believes that it mitigates its credit risk by entering into these agreements with major financial institutions. Net interest differentials to be paid or received under a swap contract and/or collar agreement are included in interest expense as incurred or earned.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
The Company currently has in place an aggregate notional amount of $85.0 million of treasury locks, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.10% per annum, which were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments relating to an anticipated issuance of fixed-rate borrowings by August 2007.
The Company entered into an aggregate notional amount of $95.0 million of treasury locks which were terminated in connection with the issuance of the $125 million 6.0% senior unsecured notes in March 2006. The realized gain of $1.5 million on these hedging relationships has been deferred in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an adjustment to interest expense.
During 2004, concurrent with the issuance of the $200 million 3.875% senior unsecured notes, the Company entered into a $100.0 million notional principal variable rate interest swap with an estimated fair value of $3.8 million as of December 31, 2006. This swap converted fixed rate debt to variable rate based on the 6 month LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%, and matures April 15, 2009.
Notes receivable from issuance of common stock
As a result of certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is generally prohibited from making loans to directors and executive officers. Prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company had loaned $7.1 million to various executives in connection with their exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. All of the loans have been repaid as of December 31, 2006. In accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, there were no material modifications to the terms of the outstanding loans granted to executives or any other loans granted.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income comprises minimum rents, expense reimbursements, termination fees and percentage rent payments. Minimum rents are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. As part of the leasing process, the Company may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction to revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among others, the type of improvements made, who holds legal title to the improvements, and other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement. Determination of the accounting for a tenant allowance is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. Lease revenue recognition commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of any landlord-owned tenant improvements.
Substantially all of the lease agreements contain provisions that require the payment of additional rents based on the respective tenant’s sales volume (contingent or percentage rent) and reimbursement of the tenant’s share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”) costs. Percentage rents are recognized
when the tenant’s reported sales have achieved the specified levels as defined in their respective lease agreements. Expense recoveries of real estate taxes, insurance and CAM costs are recognized in the period that the applicable costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreements. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases as the Company has retained substantially all risks and benefits of property ownership.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based on the tenant’s payment history and current credit quality.
The Company has been engaged by joint ventures and other third parties to provide property management and leasing services. The fees are generally calculated as a percentage of either revenues received or reimbursement of costs and are recognized as services are provided.
The company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. In summary, profits from sales will not be recognized by the Company unless a sale has been consummated; the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the property; the Company has transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership; and the Company does not have substantial continuing involvement with the property. The sales of operating properties where we do not have continuing involvement are reflected in discontinued operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
A concentration of credit risk arises in the Company’s business when a national or regionally based tenant occupies a substantial amount of space in multiple properties owned by the Company. In that event, if the tenant suffers a significant downturn in its business, it may become unable to make its contractual rent payments to the Company, exposing the Company to a potential loss in rental revenue, expense recoveries, and percentage rent that is magnified as a result of the tenant renting space in multiple locations. Generally, the Company does not obtain security from its national or regionally based tenants in support of their lease obligations to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. However, Publix Super Markets accounts for over 10% of the Company’s annualized minimum rent, or approximately $19.5 million of annualized minimum rent. No other tenant accounts for over 5% of the Company’s annualized minimum rent.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans, which would include the exercise of stock options, and the conversion of the operating partnership units held by minority limited partners.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1995. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. Also, at least 95% of the Company’s gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. The difference between net income available to common stockholders for financial reporting purposes and taxable income before dividend deductions relates primarily to temporary differences, principally real estate depreciation and amortization, deduction of deferred compensation and deferral of gains on sold properties utilizing like kind exchanges. It is management’s intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. Accordingly, the only provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to the Company’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). The Company’s TRSs did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items during the periods reported hereunder.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the accompanying financial statement basis of assets and liabilities exceeds the tax basis by approximately $225.5 million and $283.7 million, respectively.
The following summarizes the tax status of dividends paid:

Stock-Based Compensation
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principle Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, no stock-based compensation costs were recognized in the statement of operations for stock options, as options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of common shares on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized beginning January 1, 2006, includes (a) compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company has used the binomial option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant.
On January 1, 2006, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 123(R). This cumulative effect resulted in decreasing accrued liabilities by $4.5 million and increasing shareholder equity by $4.5 million. These balance sheet changes related to deferred compensation on unvested shares. There was no effect on the consolidated statement of operations or cash flows. Under SFAS No. 123(R), deferred compensation is no longer recorded at the time unvested shares are issued. Share-based compensation is now recorded over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to equity (generally additional paid-in capital).
Share-Based Compensation Subsequent to the Adoption of SFAS 123(R)
Share-based compensation expense charged against earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $6.1 million, of which $748,000 related to stock options and $12,000 related to Employee Stock Purchase Plan from the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and $5.4 million related to restricted stock grants. Share-based compensation capitalized as part of properties and related assets for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $178,000. If the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R), net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have excluded $760,000 of share-based compensation related to options and the employee stock purchase plan.

Segment information
The Company’s properties are community and neighborhood shopping centers located predominantly in high-growth and high-barrier markets in the southern and northeastern United States. Each of the Company’s centers is a separate operating segment which has been aggregated and reported as one reportable segment because they have characteristics so similar that they are expected to have essentially the same future prospects. The economic characteristics include similar returns, occupancy and tenants. In addition, each center is located near a metropolitan area with similar economic demographics and site characteristics. No individual property constitutes more than 10% of the Company’s combined revenue, net income or assets, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance. In addition, none of the shopping centers are located outside the United States.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New accounting pronouncements
In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The guidance prescribes a three-step model for determining whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and requires disclosures about unrealized losses on investments. The accounting guidance became effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements became effective for annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1, Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, (FSP EITF 03-1-1). FSP EITF 03-1-1 delayed the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue 03-1. In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This statement specifically nullifies the requirements of paragraph 10-18 of EITF 03-1 and references existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. The guidance under this FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and the Company continued to apply relevant “other-than-temporary” guidance, as provided for in FSP EITF 03-1-1 during fiscal 2005. The adoption in 2006 of the guidance of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This standard requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. This standard replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and applies to all awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after July 1, 2005. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance date of SFAS No. 123(R) through an amendment of Regulation S-X. Public companies with calendar year-ends would be required to adopt the provision of the standard effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2005. The adoption on January 1, 2006 by the Company of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method had an impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it did not have any impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The Company has elected to apply the modified prospective transition method to all past awards outstanding and unvested as of the date of adoption. Had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact as presented in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Correction (SFAS 154”), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, on the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2006. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the Variability to be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) that became effective for the third quarter of 2006. FSP FIN No. 46(R)-6 clarifies that the variability to be considered in applying Interpretation 46(R) shall be based on an analysis of the design of the variable interest entity. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (“EITF 06-02”). EITF 06-02 provides that an employee’s right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the benefit. The provisions of EITF 06-02 will be effective as of January 1, 2007 and will impact the accounting for certain of the Company’s employment arrangements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). In summary, FIN 48 requires that all tax positions subject to SFAS No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes, to be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with any adjustment in a company’s tax provision being accounted for as a cumulative effect of accounting change in beginning equity. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to materially impact how the Company measures fair value.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires recognition of the over funded or under funded status of a benefit postretirement plan in the statement of financial position, as well as recognition of changes in that funded status through comprehensive income in the year in which they occur. SFAS 158 also requires a change in the measurement of a plan’s assets and benefit obligations as of the end date of the employer’s fiscal year. SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the effective provisions of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the measurement provisions are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company 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 Company has used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accounts and Other Receivables. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
Notes Receivable. The fair value is estimated by using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value.
Available for Sale Securities. The fair value estimated at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $75.1 million and $55.6 million, respectively, based on the closing market prices of the securities. The unrealized holding loss was $6.3 million at December 31, 2006, and an unrealized holding gain of $3.4 million at December 31, 2005.
Mortgage Notes Payable. The fair value estimated at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $413.4 million and $463.0 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loans using estimated market rates for similar mortgage loans and remaining terms.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities. The fair value was estimated by using the current rates at which similar loans would be made and remaining terms. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value.
Unsecured Senior Notes Payable. The fair value estimated at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $568.8 million and $453.0 million, respectively, calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the loan using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms.

5. | Investments in Joint Ventures |
The Company accounts for investments in which it has significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest and is not the primary beneficiary, using the equity method of accounting. The Company has determined that these investments do not meet the consolidation criteria of variable interest entities. Major decisions, including property acquisitions and dispositions, financings, annual budgets and dissolution of the ventures are subject to the approval of all partners. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized to equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets
The following is a summary of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at December 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

· 7. Borrowings
The following is a summary of the Company’s borrowings, consisting of mortgage notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable and unsecured revolving credit facilities:
| | December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
Mortgage Notes Payable | | (thousands) | |
Fixed rate mortgage loans | | $ | 391,647 | | $ | 446,925 | |
Unamortized net premium on mortgage notes payable | | | 10,463 | | | 11,006 | |
Total | | $ | 402,110 | | $ | 457,931 | |
The weighted average interest rate of the mortgage notes payable at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 7.3% and 7.2%, respectively, excluding the effects of the net premium adjustment.
Each of the existing mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of the Company’s properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $76.4 million contain prohibitions on transfers of ownership which may have been violated by the Company’s previous issuances ofcommon stock or in connection with past acquisitions and may be violated by transactions involving the Company’s capital stock in the future. If a violation were established, it could serve as a basis for a lender to accelerate amounts due under the affected mortgage. To date, no lender has notified the Company that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. In the event that the mortgage holders declare defaults under the mortgage documents, the Company will, if required, repay the remaining mortgage from existing resources, refinancing of such mortgages, borrowings under its revolving lines of credit or other sources of financing. Based on discussions with various lenders, current credit market conditions and other factors, the Company believes that the mortgages will not be accelerated. Accordingly, the Company believes that the violations of these prohibitions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

These notes have also been guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries.

In January 2006, the Company entered into an amended and restated unsecured revolving credit facility, with a syndicate of banks for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the sole lead arranger and administrative agent. This facility has a maximum principal amount of $275.0 million and bears interest at the Company’s option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.45% to 1.15%, depending on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior unsecured notes or (ii) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%. The facility is guaranteed by most of the Company’s subsidiaries. Based on the Company’s current rating, the LIBOR spread is 0.80%. The facility also includes a competitive bid option which allows the Company to conduct auctions among the participating banks for borrowings in an amount not to exceed $137.5 million, a $35.0 million swing line facility for short term borrowings, a $20.0 million letter of credit commitment and may, at the request of the Company, be increased up to a total commitment of $400.0 million. The facility expires January 17, 2009 with a one-year extension option. In addition, the facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, interest coverage, EBITDA coverage ratios, unencumbered properties and permitted investments which may limit the amount available under the facility. The facility also prohibits stockholder distributions in excess of 95% of funds from operations calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending, unless a waiver has been granted allowing such action. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Company can make stockholder distributions to avoid income taxes on asset sales. If a default under the facility exists, the Company’s ability to pay dividends would be limited to the amount necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT unless the default is a payment default or bankruptcy event in which case the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, was 5.63% and 4.68%, respectively. The facility also provides collateral for $3.6 million in outstanding letters of credit.
The Company also has a $5.0 million unsecured credit facility with City National Bank of Florida, of which there was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 and a balance of $165,000 at December 31, 2005. This facility also provides collateral for $1.4 million in outstanding letters of credit.

9. Property Held for Sale and Dispositions
Portfolio Dispositions
In April 2006, the Company disposed of 29 of its properties located in Texas (“the Texas Properties”) to EQYInvest Texas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “JV”), in exchange for cash consideration of $387.2 million and a 20% interest in the JV. The Texas Properties had a net book value of $222.0 million. In December, 2006, the Company disposed of its 20% interest in the JV for cash consideration of $18.5 million. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized an aggregate gain of $112.9 million related to its disposition of the Texas properties and no longer has significant continuing involvement.
The Company also entered into a management agreement pursuant to which the Company continues to manage and lease the properties on behalf of the JV. The Company will not receive any contingent consideration for the sale. The Company has guaranteed the joint venture an operating return based on certain predetermined targets for the first twelve months following the sale, which will require the Company to pay to the joint venture an amount of up to $2.0 million in the event that the joint venture does not achieve its targeted operating returns. The Company has also agreed to fund remaining construction costs to complete various projects in an amount up to $1.6 million. These contingent obligations are reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

11. | Share-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans |
On October 23, 1996, the Company adopted the Equity One, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was amended December 10, 1998. The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth of the Company by offering incentives to directors, officers and other key employees of the Company, and to increase the interest of these directors, officers and employees in the Company through additional ownership of its common stock. The effective date of the Plan was January 1, 1996. The maximum number of shares of common stock as to which options may be granted under this Plan is 1.0 million shares, which is reduced each year by the required or discretionary grant of options. The term of each option is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), but in no event can be longer than ten years from the date of the grant. The vesting of the options is determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the date of grant of the option.
On June 23, 2000, the Company, with shareholder approval, adopted the Equity One 2000 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”). The terms of the 2000 Plan provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, deferred stock, other stock-related awards and performance or annual incentive awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property. The persons eligible to receive an award under the 2000 Plan are the officers, directors, employees and independent contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Following an amendment to the 2000 Plan, approved by our stockholders on July 28, 2004, the total number of shares of common stock that may be issuable under the 2000 Plan is 5.5 million shares, plus (i) the number of shares with respect to which options previously granted under the 2000 Plan terminate without being exercised, and (ii) the number of shares that are surrendered in payment of the exercise price for any awards or any tax withholding requirements. In addition to increasing the available shares, the July 2004 amendment expanded the list of business criteria that our compensation committee may use in granting performance awards and annual incentive awards under the 2000 Plan intended to qualify for the exclusions from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and modified the definition of a “change of control” to include, in addition to other instances, following approval by stockholders of any reorganization, merger or consolidation or other transaction or series of transactions if persons who were stockholders immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation or other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the reorganized, merger or consolidated company’s then outstanding voting securities (previously the threshold was 26%). The 2000 Plan will terminate on the earlier of the day before the tenth anniversary of the stockholders’ approval of the 2000 Plan or the date on which all shares reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan have been issued.
Options
As of December 31, 2006, we have options outstanding under four share-based compensations plans. The Equity One, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan authorized the grant of options, common stock and other share-based awards for up to 5.5 million shares of common stock, of which 710,233 shares are available for issuance. The IRT Property Company 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan similarly authorized the grant of options, common stock and other share-based awards for up to 1,462,500 shares of common stock, of which 14,400 shares are available for issuance. The Equity One, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan authorized the grant of option awards for up to 1.0 million shares of common stock, all of which have been issued. The IRT Property Company 1989 Stock Option Plan authorized the grant of stock options and other share-based awards for up to 956,250 shares of common stock, of which no shares are available for issuance.
The term of each award is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), but in no event can be longer than ten years from the date of the grant. The vesting of the awards is determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the date of grant of the award. Dividends are paid on unvested shares of restricted stock. Certain options and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control.
The fair value of each option award during 2006 is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model. Expected volatilities, dividend yields, employee exercises and employee terminations are primarily based on historical data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company measures compensation costs for restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant and charges to expense such amounts to earnings ratably over the vesting period.
The following is a summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| | Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Stock Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |

Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year | | | | | $ | 3.17 | | | | | $ | 4.48 | | | | | $ | 1.45 | |
Cash received from stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $3.0 million, $2.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and expected to vest options was $9.4 million and options exercisable was $2.0 million.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $3.6 million, $7.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Dividend Yield | | 4.7% - 5.0% | | 5.0% | | 6.5% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.6% - 4.8% | | 4.0% - 4.2% | | 4.3% | |
Expected option life (years) | | 3.0 - 3.3 | | 10 | | 10 | |
Expected volatility | | 20.0% | | 19.0% - 22.0% | | 16.0% | |
In determining the fair value of the option grants made during 2006, management included in the assumptions the probability of involuntary early exercise based on historical patterns, actuarial data, and potential change of control events.
The options were granted with an exercise price equivalent to the current stock price on the grant date or the ten-day average of the stock price prior to the grant date.
The following table summarizes information about outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2006:
Options Outstanding | | Options Exercisable | |

Restricted Stock Grants
The Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors grants restricted stock to its officers, directors, and other employees. Vesting periods for the restricted stock are determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Company measures compensation costs for restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant and charges to expense such amounts to earnings ratably over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 381,000 shares of non-vested restricted stock grants outstanding.
The following table provides a summary of restricted stock activity:
| | Unvested Shares (000’s) | | Weighted-Average Price | |
Unvested at December 31, 2005 | | | 518 | | $ | 18.72 | |
Granted | | | 309 | | | 24.43 | |
Vested | | | (411 | ) | | 18.25 | |
Forfeited | | | (35 | ) | | 21.85 | |
Unvested at December 31, 2006 | | | 381 | | | 23.58 | |
As of December 31, 2006, there was $14.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements (options and unvested restricted shares) granted under our plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 4.0 years. The total vesting-date value of the shares that vested during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $10.1 million.
401(k) Plan
The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company which permits participants to defer compensation up to the maximum amount permitted by law. The Company matches 75% of each employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 4.5% of the employee’s annual compensation. Employee’s contributions vest immediately while the Company’s matching contributions vest over three years. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $295,000, $288,000, and $253,000, respectively. The 401(k) Plan invests the Company’s matching contributions by purchasing publicly traded shares of the Company’s common stock.
Deferred Compensation Plan
During 2005, the Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that permits eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. The deferred compensation liability (included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheet) was $491,000 at December 31, 2006. The Company has established a grantor trust (Rabbi Trust) to provide funding for benefits payable under its non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets held in the trust at December 31, 2006 amounted to $491,000. The Rabbi Trust’s assets consist of short-term cash investments and a managed portfolio of equity securities. These assets are included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.
2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) (implemented in October 2004), Equity One employees, including directors of Equity One who are employees, are eligible to participate in quarterly plan offerings in which payroll deductions may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock. The purchase price per share will be 90% of the average closing price per share of common stock on the NYSE on the five (5) trading days that immediately precede the date of purchase (the “Exercise date”), provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price per share of common stock on the exercise date of an offering period be less than the lower 85% of (i) the market price on the first day of the offering period or (ii) the market price on the Exercise Date.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans
Long-term incentive compensation is subject to a performance-based schedule, based on an approximately four-year performance period. In order to receive compensation, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over the performance period must exceed 6% and achieve a certain spread against the average TSR of the peer group.
Long-term incentive compensation participation is currently only granted to the top executives in the Company. The Company determines the grant date fair value of TSR grants based upon a Monte Carlo Simulation model. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. The level of cash compensation available depends on the spread between the Company’s TSR and the average TSR of the peer group companies.
12. Future Minimum Rental
Future minimum rental income under noncancelable operating leases approximates the following as of December 31, 2006 (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, | | Amount | |
2007 | | $ | 197,812 | | |
2008 | | | 173,011 | | |
2009 | | | 145,480 | | |
2010 | | | 119,546 | | |
2011 | | | 97,317 | | |
Thereafter | | | 472,499 | | |
Total | | $ | 1,205,665 | | |
13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Letters of Credit. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has pledged letters of credit for $6.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as additional security for certain property matters. The letters of credit are generally secured by our revolving credit facilities.
Construction Commitments. The Company has entered into construction commitments and, as of December 31, 2006, has outstanding commitments of $19.7 million, based on current plans and estimates, in order to complete current development and redevelopment projects. These obligations, comprised principally of construction contracts, are generally due as the work is performed and are expected to be financed by our available credit facilities.
Operating Lease Obligations. Certain of the Company’s properties are subject to a ground lease, which are accounted for as operating leases and have annual obligations of approximately $100,000.
Non-Recourse Debt Guarantees. Under certain Company and joint venture non-recourse mortgage loans, the Company could, under certain circumstances, be responsible for portions of the mortgage indebtedness in connection with certain customary non-recourse carve-out provisions, such as environmental conditions, misuse of funds and material misrepresentations. In the Company’s judgment, it would be extremely unlikely for us to incur any material liability under these guarantees that will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow of the Company.
Litigation. The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business, none of which as of December 31, 2006 in the opinion of management will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
14. Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The operation of dry cleaning facilities at the shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. We require that the tenants who operate these facilities do so in material compliance with current laws and regulations and we have established procedures to monitor their operations. Additionally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs. Several properties in the portfolio will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. However, the Company has environmental insurance policies covering all of our properties. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or operations.
15. Subsequent Events
During 2007, the Company acquired a shopping center and an out parcel for total consideration of $48.9 million. The purchase price was funded from cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility.
