AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001 (UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION Equity One, Inc., along with its related subsidiaries and joint ventures (collectively, the "Company"), was formed in 1992 for the purpose of holding various real estate investments. The Company is a fully integrated, self-managed, real estate investment trust ("REIT"). As of March 31, 2002, the Company owned a total of 86 properties, primarily located in metropolitan areas of Florida and Texas, encompassing 54 supermarket-anchored shopping centers, eight drug store-anchored shopping centers, 18 other retail-anchored shopping centers, four commercial properties, one supermarket-anchored development and one drug store-anchored development, as well as interests in three joint ventures which own and operate commercial real estate properties. On September 20, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Centrefund Realty (U.S.) Corporation ("CEFUS") from First Capital Realty Inc., formerly known as Centrefund Realty Corporation, for approximately $281,000 (including assumed debt). As provided for in the stock exchange agreement, the Company issued 10,500 shares of its common stock to subsidiaries of First Capital Realty Inc. and assumed $149,021 of CEFUS's outstanding debt. The acquisition of CEFUS was partially accounted for on a "push-down" basis and partially in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, due to the acquisition by Gazit Globe (1982) Ltd., the Company's majority shareholder, of a 68.07% controlling interest in Centrefund Realty Corporation on August 18, 2000. The Company's results for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 have been restated to incorporate the results of CEFUS for the period of January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001. The restatement consolidates the operations of Equity One and CEFUS between January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001, subject to a 31.93% minority interest in CEFUS (the "CEFUS Accounting Treatment"). During the period January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001, CEFUS operated under the control of Centrefund Realty Corporation as a C-corporation and recorded current and deferred income taxes in connection with its operations. These taxes are reflected on the Company's financial statements by way of the CEFUS Accounting Treatment. Effective September 20, 2001, the Company no longer recorded any provision for income taxes consistent with its acquisition of 100% of CEFUS, and the operation of CEFUS as a qualified REIT subsidiary. In addition, with the Company's September 20, 2001 acquisition of 100% of CEFUS, the Company eliminated the 31.93% minority interest in CEFUS, and recorded the issuance of 10,500 shares of its common stock. The effect of the CEFUS Accounting Treatment on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) is as follows: REVENUES: Equity One........................................ $ 9,827 CEFUS ............................................ 9,599 -------- Total revenues ....................................... $ 19,426 ======== NET INCOME: Equity One ....................................... $ 3,074 CEFUS ............................................ 950 -------- Total net income...................................... $ 4,024 ======== 9 On September 21, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of United Investors Realty Trust ("UIRT"), a Texas-based REIT, for $147,640 (including assumed debt). As a result of the transaction with UIRT, the Company issued 2,896 shares of its common stock, paid $32,876 in cash consideration to former UIRT shareholders and assumed approximately $79,867 of UIRT's outstanding debt. The acquisition of UIRT was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of UIRT are included in the Company's financial statements from the date of its acquisition. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form 10-Q and the Company's audited financial statements and related footnotes, included in the Company's 2001 Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on March 18, 2002. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, FASB approved the issuance of SFAS No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. These standards, which were issued in July 2001, established accounting and reporting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations entered into subsequent to September 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 142 provides that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and no longer amortizes goodwill. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, goodwill amortization was $18. Had this statement been adopted in 2001 it would not have resulted in any changes to earnings per share. In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSET, which supersedes, but does not replace, SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, as well as other earlier related pronouncements, either in whole or in part. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years, although earlier application is encouraged. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002 and has reflected the sales and operations of disposed properties as discontinued operations. 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE In January 2002, the Company issued to the non-employee members of its Board of Directors and the corporate secretary a total of 16 shares of unregistered restricted stock that vest one-half on December 31, 2002 and one-half on December 31, 2003. In addition, an employee received 1 shares of unregistered restricted stock that vest one-third on December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. In January 2002, the Company completed a private placement of 688 shares of common stock to a limited number of accredited investors, half of which was purchased by investors that are affiliates of the Company, with gross proceeds of approximately $8,892. 10 In March 2002, an officer exercised options to purchase 87.5 shares of common stock in exchange for a promissory note of $866. This note is a full recourse obligation bearing interest at 5% and is secured by the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the options. Interest is payable quarterly and the full principal balance is due March 30, 2007. This note along with similar, previously executed notes is reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a reduction of stockholders' equity. In March 2002, the Company completed a public offering of 3,450 shares of common stock, with gross proceeds of approximately $45,713. In March 2002, the Company issued to an officer 18 shares of unregistered restricted stock that vest one-half on March 27, 2003 and one-half on March 27, 2004. In March 2002, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $.27 per common share. In March 2002, the Company issued 335 shares of its common stock at a price of $13.425 in exchange for $4,500 of cash dividends pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ----------------------- 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares ................................... 29,354 19,853 Walden Woods Village, Ltd............................ 94 94 Unvested employee restricted stock .................. 174 133 Convertible partnership units ....................... 262 262 Stock options ....................................... 145 36 ---------- ---------- Subtotal.......................................... 675 525 ---------- ---------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares.................................... 30,029 20,378 ========== ========== For the three months ended March 31, 2001, basic and diluted earnings per share have been adjusted so that the weighted average number of shares used in those calculations includes the effect of the assumed issuance on August 18, 2000 of 68.07% of the 10,500 shares which were issued in connection with the CEFUS acquisition on September 20, 2001. This adjustment is in accordance with the CEFUS Accounting Treatment described in Note 1 and has the effect of increasing the number of basic and diluted weighted average shares by 7,147 shares. 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSEST and has included the operations and gain on sale of sold properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company expects to reclassify historical operating results whenever necessary in order to comply with the requirements of SFAS No. 144. In February 2002, the Company completed the sale of an office building, located in Florida, for $6,050. In February 2002, the Company completed the sale of a parcel of land, located in Florida, for $1,900. As part of the consideration, the Company received a $1,425 note receivable secured by the property. In February 2002, the Company completed the sale of a retail center, located in Texas, for $2,590. 11 6. ACQUISITIONS In February 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of two free-standing drug-stores located in Florida, for purchase prices of $2,400 and $3,800, respectively. In February 2002, the Company exercised existing options and acquired two parcels of land located in Florida, for purchase prices of $2,000 and $1,000, respectively. These parcels were purchased from affiliated entities. The parcel acquired for $1,000 was subsequently sold for $1,900 as described above. 7. BORROWINGS In February 2002, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with a bank for $29,400, secured by mortgages on five rental properties and maturing in February 2005. The credit facility has financial covenants and other restrictions on the Company. Each of the existing mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of certain of our properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $122,900, excluding the $1,600 balance on one mortgage loan which is scheduled to be repaid in 2002, contain prohibitions on transfers of ownership which may have been violated by the Company's previous issuances of common 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. The Company is in the process of obtaining the necessary consents from the lenders. Based on discussions with various lenders, current credit market conditions and other factors, the Company believes that such consents will be obtained or that the mortgages would not be accelerated. Accordingly, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. 8. MINORITY INTEREST On January 1, 1999, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Equity One (Walden Woods) Inc. (the "Walden Woods General Partner"), entered into a limited partnership as a general partner. An income producing shopping center was contributed by its owners (the "Walden Woods Minority Partners"), and the Walden Woods General Partner contributed 93.656 shares of Company common stock to the limited partnership at an agreed-upon price of $10.30 per share. Based on this per share price and the net asset value of the property contributed by the Walden Woods Minority Partners, each of the partners received 93.656 limited partnership units. The Company and the Walden Woods Minority Partners have entered into an agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") whereby the Walden Woods Minority Partners can request that the Company purchase either their limited partnership units or any shares of Company common stock which they have received in exchange for their limited 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 minority interest has been presented as a liability. In addition, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the Walden Woods Minority Partners do not have an interest in the common stock of the Company except to the extent of dividends declared on such common stock. Accordingly, a preference in earnings has been allocated to the Walden Woods Minority Partners to the extent of the dividends declared. The 93.656 shares of common stock of the Company held by the consolidated limited partnership are not considered outstanding in the calculation of basic earning per share. On December 5, 2000, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Equity One (North Port) Inc., entered into a limited partnership (the "Shoppes of North Port, Ltd.") as a general partner. An income producing shopping center was contributed by its owners (the "North Port Minority Partners") and the Company contributed an income producing property to a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Shoppes of North Port, Ltd. Both the North Port Minority Partners and the general partner were issued 261.850 operating partnership units ("OPUs") based on the net value of the properties contributed. The North Port Minority Partners can redeem their OPUs for the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis or for cash at an agreed upon price of $11.00 per share no earlier than December 10, 2001, nor later than three and one half years thereafter. Accordingly, the minority interest has been presented as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The North Port Minority Partners receive a preferred quarterly distribution equal to a 9.0% annual return on their initial capital contribution. This amount is reflected as interest expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 12 For the period from August 18, 2000 until the closing of the acquisition of CEFUS on September 20, 2001, the Company recorded the 31.93% minority interest in CEFUS described in Note 1 to reflect the 31.93% of CEFUS that Gazit-Globe (1982) Ltd., the Company's majority shareholder, did not own in Centrefund Realty Corporation, the then 100% owner of CEFUS. On September 20, 2001, the 31.93% minority interest in CEFUS was eliminated by virtue of the Company's acquisition of 100% of CEFUS. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of March 31, 2002, the Company has pledged letters of credit totaling $2,000 as additional security for certain financings. As of March 31, 2002, the Company has guaranteed the mortgage note payable of $15,000 for one of its joint ventures. The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business, none of which in the opinion of management will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere herein and the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in the Company's Form 10-K/A. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for the year. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" in this report refer collectively to Equity One, Inc., and its subsidiaries, including joint ventures. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Total revenues increased by $6.8 million, or 35.4%, to $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $19.1 million for the comparable period of 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues of $5.9 million relating to the acquisition of UIRT in September 2001. Revenues also increased by $963,000 as a result of the acquisition of three shopping centers and two drugstores and the completion of a development project, offset by $284,000 in lost revenues relating to the sales of properties. Additional sources of increased revenues were percentage rents of $251,000, offset by a decline in third party management fees and investment income of $180,000 and an increase in all other property revenues of $194,000. Property operating expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 42.8% to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $5.5 million for the comparable period of 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $2.4 million relating to the acquisition of UIRT. Operating expenses also increased by $250,000 as a result of the acquisitions mentioned above, offset by $167,000 in reduced expenses relating to the sale of three properties. All other property operating expenses declined by $183,000. Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $761,000, or 29.7% to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $2.6 million for the comparable period of 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation of $661,000 relating to the acquisition of UIRT and a $101,000 increase related to other acquisitions. 13 Interest and amortization of deferred financing fees increased by $1.0 million, or 19.9%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $5.3 million for the comparable period of 2001. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $1.2 million relating to the assumption of mortgage loans in the acquisition of UIRT. In addition, interest increased $335,000 from the closing of two new loans and increased $305,000 from a higher average balance on the revolving credit facilities. These increases to interest expense were partially offset by the payoff of five loans reducing interest by $426,000, an increase in capitalized interest of $164,000 and a decline in interest expense on same mortgage notes of $199,000 due to decreased interest rates. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 146.1%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $811,000 for the comparable period of 2001. Compensation and employer related expenses increased by $394,000, professional fees increased by $164,000, previously capitalized preacquisition due diligence costs for projects that did not materialize were written off totaling $612,000, and all other expenses increased by $15,000. During 2001, we recorded a minority interest in CEFUS of $446,000 and current and deferred taxes of $785,000 related to CEFUS. Upon the acquisition of CEFUS we no longer record these items. All other income items primarily relate to the earnings from joint ventures We sold three properties which are being reflected as discontinued operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The sale of these three properties produced a gain of $6.1 million and income from discontinued operations of $507,000 for 2002 and $68,000 for 2001. As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $9.2 million, or 229.7%, to $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $4.0 million for the comparable period in 2001. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS We consider Funds From Operations ("FFO") a widely used and appropriate supplemental measure of performance for an equity REIT which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") means income (loss) before minority interest (determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), excluding gains (losses) from debt restructuring, sales of property and deferred income taxes, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO to assist investors in analyzing our performance. 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 (i) does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, (ii) is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including its ability to make distributions and (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. 14 The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO (in thousands) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------ 2002 2001 -------- ---------- Net income ............................................................ $ 13,267 $ 4,024 Adjustments: Depreciation of real estate assets ................................. 3,263 2,556 Amortization of capitalized leasing fees ........................... 66 21 Gain on disposal of real estate .................................... (6,122) -- Minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiary ........... 25 -- Other Items: Interest on convertible partnership units .......................... 65 64 Deferred income tax benefit ........................................ -- 965 Share of joint venture real estate depreciation .................... 174 18 Minority interest share of FFO adjustments ......................... -- (748) -------- ---------- FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ................................................. $ 10,738 $ 6,900 ======== ========== FFO increased by $3.8 million, or 55.6%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $6.9 million for the comparable period of 2001. The increase is primarily the result of the inclusion of UIRT's results for the current period, and the increases in income described above. The effect of the CEFUS Accounting Treatment on the calculation of FFO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 (unaudited) is as follows: FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: Equity One ........................................ $ 4,354 CEFUS ............................................. 2,546 -------- Total funds from operation ............................ $ 6,900 ======== CASH FLOW Net cash provided by operations of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 included: (i) net income of $13.3 million, (ii) adjustment for non-cash and gain on sale items which decreased cash flow by $2.5 million, and (iii) a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $400,000, compared to net cash provided by operations of $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, which included (i) net income of $4.0 million, (ii) adjustment for non-cash items which increased cash flow by $4.1 million, and (iii) a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 included: (i) the acquisition of two drugstores and two parcels of land for $9.2 million, (ii) construction, development and other capital improvements of $3.3 million, and (iii) proceeds from the sale of three properties of $8.8 million, of which $6.0 million has been escrowed for a tax free exchange, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 which included: (i) the purchase of one property for $2.0 million, and (ii) improvements to rental properties and construction expenditures relating to development projects totaling $3.2 million. 15 Net cash provided by financing activities of $884,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 included: (i) the payoff of five loans for $27.3 million and monthly principal payments on mortgage notes of $1.4 million, (ii) net repayments on revolving credit facilities of $18.4 million, (iii) cash dividends paid to common stockholders of $8.0 million, (iv) net proceeds from issuance of common stock of $56.5 million, and (v) other miscellaneous uses of $536,000, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 which included: (i) principal payments on mortgage notes of $1.1 million, (ii) borrowings under a new mortgage note of $4.7 million, (iii) net repayments on the revolving credit facility of $471,000, (iv) cash dividends paid to common stockholders of $3.4 million, (v) reduction of obligations to affiliates of $2.4 million and (vi) other miscellaneous uses of $60,000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal demands for liquidity are maintenance expenditures, repairs, property taxes and tenant improvements relating to rental properties, acquisition and development activities, debt service and repayment obligations, and distributions to its stockholders. The principal sources of funding for the Company's operations are operating cash flows, the issuance of equity securities, the placement of mortgage loans and periodic borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities. As of March 31, 2002, we had a $10.8 million revolving credit agreement secured by five properties with City National Bank of Florida. In February 2002, the amount was reduced from a prior authorization of $20.6 million through the release of certain collateral. This facility accrues interest at 2.25% over the thirty-day LIBOR rate, payable monthly, adjusted every six months, and is due on demand. A one-year extension of this facility at similar terms is in the process of being finalized. This facility has been used to provide a $1.0 million letter of credit in connection with the Pine Island/Ridge Plaza financing and to support approximately $448,000 in escrows for property taxes on the properties comprising its collateral, thereby reducing its gross availability to approximately $9.4 million. On September 17, 2001, we entered into a $30.0 million revolving line of credit with Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. This facility accrues interest at 1.25% over the 30 or 90-day LIBOR rate, at our option, and is payable monthly or quarterly depending on our rate selection. The facility matures in September 2002, with an option to extend it an additional 180 days. Under the Bank Leumi credit agreement, we agreed not to mortgage or encumber seven of our properties, as amended on February 18, 2002. On February 27, 2002, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo under which we may borrow up to $29.4 million against a borrowing base of five properties pledged to secure the facility. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest, at our option, at the prime rate or based on LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.15% if the ratio of our total liabilities to gross asset value is less than 0.5, to 1.50% if the ratio of our total liabilities to gross asset value is or exceeds 0.60. The entire principal amount is due February 26, 2005. This new facility also prohibits shareholder distributions in excess of 95% of funds for operations calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending. Notwithstanding this limitation, we can make shareholder 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 our status as a REIT. The facility also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain: o A consolidated net worth of not less than $251.4 million plus 90% of net proceeds of equity issuances; o A ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value of not more than 0.65; o A ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 1.90; o A ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges of not less than 1.65; and o An occupancy rate on properties in the borrowing base of not less than 85%. Our revolving credit facility balances as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 consisted of the following: 16 MARCH 31, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 -------------- ----------------- (in thousands) REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES City National Bank ......................................... $ -- $ 1,409 Bank Leumi ................................................. 9,000 26,000 Wells Fargo ................................................ -- N/A --------- --------- Total revolving credit facilities ...................... $ 9,000 $ 27,409 ========= ========= As of March 31, 2002, the amount available under the various revolving credit facilities is $59.8 million. Our mortgage note balances as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 consisted of the following: MARCH 31, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 -------------- ----------------- (in thousands) MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE Fixed rate mortgage loans .................................. $ 291,739 $ 296,887 Variable rate mortgage loans ............................... 24,635 48,160 Total mortgage notes payable ........................... $ 316,374 $ 345,047 Each of the mortgage loans is secured by a mortgage on one or more of certain of our properties. Certain of the mortgage loans involving an aggregate principal balance of approximately $122.9 million, excluding the $1.6 million balance on one mortgage loan which is scheduled to be repaid in 2002, 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. We are in the process of obtaining the necessary consents from the lenders. Based on discussions with various lenders to date, current credit market conditions and other factors, we believe that such consents will be obtained or that the mortgages would not be accelerated. Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition. As of March 31, 2002, our total debt of $325.4 million less our cash and cash equivalents, cash held in escrow and securities available for sale, or $312.6 million divided by our gross real estate assets of $664.0 million equals 47.1%. As of March 31, 2002, the balances due at the maturity of our various mortgage loans (excluding revolving credit facilities) are as follows: PRINCIPAL BALANCE DUE AT YEAR MATURITY --------------------------- ------------------------ 2002....................... $ 16,989 2003....................... -- 2004....................... 24,635 2005....................... 21,254 2006....................... 26,470 Thereafter................. 172,998 --------- Total.................. $ 262,346 ========= Our debt level could subject us to various risks, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that the resulting reduced financial flexibility could inhibit our ability to develop or improve our rental properties, withstand downturns in our rental income or take advantage of business opportunities. In addition, because we currently anticipate that only a small portion of the 17 principal of our indebtedness will be repaid prior to maturity, it is expected that it will be necessary to refinance the majority of our debt. Accordingly, there is a risk that such indebtedness will not be able to be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our current indebtedness. We commenced development in March 2002 of an 84,000 square foot supermarket-anchored shopping center on a parcel of land located at the southeast corner of S.W. 147th Avenue and Coral Way in Miami-Dade County, Florida. We anticipate the cost of development to be approximately $10.0 million, including $2.0 million we have already incurred upon the exercise of our option to purchase from several of our affiliates all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Equity One (Coral Way), Inc. the sole asset of which consisted of this parcel of land. We expect to commence development in late 2002 of a 25,000 square foot drug-store anchored shopping center on a parcel of land we already own at the northeast corner of S.W. 147th Avenue and Coral Way in Miami-Dade County, Florida at a total cost of $2.0 million. We expect to commence development in late 2002 of an additional 40,000 square feet at our Skylake Shopping Center in Miami-Dade County, Florida at a total cost of $3.0 million. We expect to fund the costs of these development projects with cash flow from operations and borrowings under our various revolving credit facilities. On January 18, 2002, we completed a private placement of 688,000 shares of our common stock to a limited number of accredited investors. In connection with the private placement, we sold an aggregate of 344,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $12.80 per share to unaffiliated investors and 344,000 shares of our common stock at price of $13.05 per share to investors that are affiliates of ours. The net proceeds of $8.9 million from the private placement were used for general corporate purposes. On January 23, 2002, we filed a universal shelf registration statement 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, up to a value of $250 million. The registration statement provides us additional flexibility in accessing capital markets to fund future growth and for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2002, our remaining availability under the universal shelf registration totaled $204.3 million. On March 27, 2002, we concluded the underwritten sale of 3,450,000 shares of common stock of a price of $13.25 per share through a group of underwriters led by Legg Mason World Market. The net proceeds of $42.9 million from the stock offering were used to repay certain existing indebtedness. On March 29, 2002, we issued 335,208 shares of our common stock at a price of $13.425 per share in exchange for $4.5 million of cash dividends pursuant to our Divided Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. As of March 31, 2002, our remaining availability under our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan totaled 800,397 shares. We believe, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that our existing financial arrangements, together with cash flows from 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 shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, our business operations could be materially adversely affected. We believe that we qualify and intend to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While we intend to continue to pay dividends to our stockholders, we also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as we consider necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of our real estate, while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT. 18 INFLATION Most of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenant gross sales above predetermined levels, which rents generally increase as prices rise, or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices. 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. Our financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which its properties are located. An economic recession, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect our ability to attract or retain tenants. The properties are typically anchored by supermarkets, drug stores and other consumer necessity and service retailers which typically offer day-to-day necessities rather than luxury items. These types of tenants, in our experience, generally maintain more consistent sales performance during periods of adverse economic conditions. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company's intent, belief or current expectations and those of the Company's management and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. General economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect the demand for retail rental space, availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents, lease-up of vacant space and the terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate markets including, development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS The primary market risk to which the Company has exposure is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can affect the Company's net income and cash flows. As changes in market conditions occur, interest rates can either increase or decrease and interest expense from the variable component of the Company's debt balances will move in the same direction. With respect to its investment portfolio, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the Company's interest income as its investments are predominantly in equity securities. With respect to its notes receivable, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the Company's interest income as its notes receivable are predominantly at fixed-rates for extended terms, and would be unaffected by any sudden change in interest rates. With respect to its mortgage notes payable, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the Company's interest expense as its mortgage notes payable are predominantly at fixed-rates for extended terms with a weighted average life of 6.7 years, and would be unaffected by any sudden change in interest rates. Because the Company has the intent to hold its existing mortgages to maturity (or until the sale of the associated property), there is believed to be no interest rate market risk on the Company's results of operations or its working capital position. The Company's possible risk is from increases in long-term real estate mortgage rates that may occur over a period of several years, as this may decrease the overall value of its real estate. The Company estimates the fair market value of its long term, fixed rate mortgage loans using discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing rates for similar types of debt. At March 31, 2002, the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage loans was estimated to be $297,272 compared to the carrying value amount of $291,739. If the weighted average interest rate on the Company's fixed rate debt were 100 basis points higher or lower than the current weighted average rate of 7.76%, the fair market value would be $276,189 and $305,202, respectively. 19 If the weighted average interest rate on the Company's variable rate debt were 100 basis points higher or lower, annual interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $336,000 based on the Company's variable rate debt balance on March 31, 2002 (encompassing $9.0 million of revolving credit facilities and $24.6 million of variable rate mortgage loans). The Company's objective in managing its exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Company may use a variety of financial instruments to reduce its interest rate risk, including interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company exchanges its variable interest costs on a defined amount of principal for another party's obligation to pay fixed interest on the same amount of principal, or interest rate caps, which will set a ceiling on the maximum variable interest rate the Company will incur on the amount of debt subject to the cap and for the time period specified in the interest rate cap. At the present time, the Company has no such facilities in place. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither the Company nor the Company's properties are subject to any material litigation. The Company and its properties may be subject to routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business which collectively is not expected to have a material adverse affect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On January 1, 2002 the Company issued to the non-employee members of its Board of Directors and the Secretary a total of 16,000 shares of unregistered restricted stock that vest one-half on December 31, 2002 and one-half on December 31, 2003. In addition, an employee received 1,000 shares of unregistered restricted stock that vests one-third on December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. On January 18, 2002, the Company completed a private placement sale of 688,000 shares of the common stock. Ten accredited investors purchased 344,000 shares of common stock at $12.80 per share. Three affiliated members, Alony Hetz Properties & Investments, Ltd., Silver Maple (2001), Inc. and M.G.N. (USA) Inc. purchased 70,000, 150,000, and 124,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at $13.05 per share. The net proceeds of $8.9 million were used for general corporate purposes. On March 15, 2002 an officer of the Company exercised options to purchase 87,500 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $9.90 per share. The Company received a promissory note from the officer as consideration in the amount of $866,250. On March 28, 2002, the Company issued 18,000 shares of unregistered restricted stock to an officer as a long-term compensation award. The shares vest one-half on March 27, 2003 and one-half on March 27, 2004. The foregoing issuances were made pursuant to exemptions under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
