NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except per share and square feet amounts)
1. Organization
------------
Equity One, Inc. operates as a self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT") that principally acquires, renovates, develops and manages community
and neighborhood shopping centers located predominantly in high growth markets
in the southern United States. These shopping centers are primarily anchored by
national and regional supermarket chains or other necessity-oriented retailers
such as drug stores or discount retail stores.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Equity One, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including those partnerships
of which it has financial and operating control. Equity One, Inc. and
subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated companies" or "the
Company." The Company has a 50% investment in two joint ventures of which the
Company is not the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, uses the equity method
of accounting for these joint ventures.
As of June 30, 2004, the Company's portfolio of neighborhood shopping
centers is located in twelve states in the southern United States and consists
of 191 properties, encompassing 129 supermarket-anchored shopping centers, 11
drug store-anchored shopping centers, 45 other retail-anchored shopping centers,
one self-storage facility, one industrial property, and four retail
developments, as well as non-controlling interests in two joint ventures which
own commercial real estate property.
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 (the "SEC").
Accordingly, these unaudited 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 considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
audited financial statements and related footnotes, included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the
SEC on March 15, 2004.
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to conform to
the current period's presentation.

3. IRT Merger
----------
On February 12, 2003, the Company completed a statutory merger with IRT
Property Company ("IRT"). The Company entered into the merger to acquire 93
properties comprising an aggregate of approximately 10,041,000 square feet of
gross leasable area and create one of the largest shopping center REITs
primarily focusing on the southeastern United States. The merger provided the
Company with a unique business opportunity to increase its portfolio of
properties and enhance its core portfolio by broadening its concentration in
existing markets and expanding into new markets. This provided the Company with
a more stable earnings stream as a majority of the properties are in high-growth
areas of the southeastern United States. The Company's Board believes that the
increase in the size of the Company's portfolio strengthens its position as a
leading shopping center REIT and provides synergies because of the Company's
experience, geographic locations, greater market capitalization, opportunity for
further growth and liquidity. These factors contributed to a purchase price that
resulted in $11,738 of goodwill. The acquisition of IRT was accounted for using
the purchase method and the results of IRT are included in the Company's
financial statements since the date of its acquisition. The aggregate purchase
price for the acquisition was $763,047 (including transaction costs and assumed
debt), consisting of the payment of $189,382 in cash, the issuance of 17,490
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $231,737 and the assumption of
$341,928 of outstanding debt, premium on notes payable, and other liabilities.
The value of the Company's common stock was determined based on the average
market price over the 3-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition
were agreed to and announced. There were no contingent payments, options, or
commitments specified in the agreement.
4. Rental Property
---------------
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. 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. 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.
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 terms of the related lease
Equipment 5-7 years
Total interest expense capitalized to land held for development and
construction in progress was $720 and $583 for the three months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively, and $1,532 and $1,267 for the six months ended June
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
5. Business Combinations
---------------------
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. The results of operations of any acquired
property are included in the Company's financial statements as of the date of
its acquisition.
11
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 fair value of, any contractual or
other legal rights and investigates the existence of, and estimates fair value
of, any other identifiable intangible assets. Such valuations require management
to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to
intangible assets.
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, below-market and in-place
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.
Other than as discussed above, the Company has determined that its real estate
properties do not have any other significant identifiable intangible assets.
Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets 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 that may be obtained in connection with
the acquisition or financing of the respective property or other market data.
Management also considers information obtained in its pre-acquisition due
diligence and marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of
tangible and intangible assets acquired.

The Company's allocation of the purchase price for the acquisitions
consummated during 2004 is preliminary and is subject to change. The Company is
in the process of obtaining additional market data related to the fair value of
the land and in-place leases. Management does not believe that any adjustment
would have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

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 $173.1 million 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. To date, no lender has
notified the Company that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. The Company is
in the process of seeking consents from the lenders to address these issues. In
the event that the requested assurances or consents are not obtained and 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, 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.

The indentures under which the notes were issued have several covenants
which limit the Company's ability to incur debt; require the Company to maintain
unencumbered asset ratios and limit the Company's ability to consolidate, sell,
lease, or convey substantially all of its assets to, or merge with any other
entity. These notes have also been guaranteed by most of the Company's
subsidiaries including IRT Partners L.P. ("LP"). The interest rate on the 7.77%
senior notes is subject to a 50 basis point increase if the Company does not
maintain an investment grade debt rating.

Total............................................... $ 80,541 $162,000
============ ============
The Company entered into a $340,000 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 bears interest at
the Company's option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.65% to 1.35%, depending on the credit
ratings of the Company's senior unsecured long term notes or (ii) at the greater
of (x) Wells Fargo's prime rate and (y) the 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 1.0%. 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 $170,000, a
$35,000 swing line facility for short term borrowings, a $20,000 letter of
credit commitment and may, at the request of the Company, be increased up to a
total commitment of $400,000. The facility expires February 12, 2006 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
15
properties, permitted investments and others. 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, 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. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had $80,500 outstanding
on this credit facility. The weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2004
was 2.05%, including the effect of interest rate swaps.
The Company also has a $5,000 unsecured credit facility with City National
Bank of Florida, of which $41 was outstanding as of June 30, 2004. This facility
also provides collateral for $1,456 in outstanding letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2004, the availability under the various credit facilities
was approximately $113,901 net of outstanding balances and letters of credit.

11. Accounting for Stock Options
----------------------------
The Company applies the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in measuring stock-based compensation, including
options. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for options
granted under the Company's compensation plan as no grants were made at less
than market value. Had compensation expense been determined based upon the fair
value at the grant date for awards under the Plan consistent with SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and earnings
per share on a pro forma basis would have been:

12. Loans to Executives
-------------------
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 $7,112 to various executives in connection with their
22
exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock of which
$6,524 has been repaid as of June 30, 2004. The outstanding notes bear interest
at a rate of 5% per annum. Interest only is payable quarterly and the principal
amount of each of the notes is due in June 2007. In accordance with the
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, there have been no material
modifications to any of the terms of the loans granted to our executives.
13. Minority Interest
-----------------
On December 30, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Equity One
(Walden Woods) Inc. (the "Walden Woods General Partner"), formed a limited
partnership, in which a retail 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 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, the limited 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 in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. 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 earnings 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. The North Port Minority Partners had the
right to 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. During July 2003, the
North Port Minority Partners redeemed their OPUs in exchange for 261.850 shares
of the Company's common stock.
The Company is the general partner of IRT Partners L.P. ("LP") and
maintains an indirect partnership interest through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
IRT Management Company. LP was formed in order to enhance the acquisition
opportunities of the Company through a downREIT structure. This structure offers
potential sellers of properties the ability to make a tax-deferred sale of their
real estate properties in exchange for limited partnership units ("OP Units") of
LP. As of June 30, 2004, there were 734.266 OP Units outstanding held by
partners not affiliated with the Company. LP is obligated to redeem each OP Unit
held by a person other than the Company, at the request of the holder, for cash
equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock at the
time of such redemption, provided that the Company may elect to acquire any such
OP Unit presented for redemption for one share of common stock. Such limited
partnership interests of 5.59% of LP are held by persons unaffiliated with the
Company and are presented as a minority interest in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company also has a controlling general partnership interest (75%
interest) in Venice Plaza and records a minority interest for the limited
partners' share of equity.

15. Debt Extinguishment
-------------------
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, and is
reporting the loss on extinguishment of debt as part of ordinary income as it no
longer meets the criteria for extraordinary gain
24
(loss) accounting treatment. During 2003, the Company prepaid four mortgages and
incurred a loss of $623 on the early extinguishment of debt.
16. New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes
-----------------------------------------
In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"), an interpretation of ARB 51. FIN 46 was
revised in December 2003. FIN 46 provides guidance on identifying entities for
which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights, or
variable interest entities ("VIE"), and how to determine when and which business
enterprises should consolidate the operating results of a VIE. In addition, FIN
46 requires both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a
significant variable interest in a VIE to make additional disclosures. The
consolidation provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for variable
interests in VIEs created after January 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs
created before February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are effective for the
first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003. The Company has
evaluated the effect of FIN 46 and has determined those cases in which it is the
primary beneficiary and has consolidated the operating results of those VIEs.
Where the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE,
it reports the VIE under the equity method. The adoption of FIN 46 did not
require a change in the accounting treatment of any VIEs owned by the Company.
The Company has not become a party to any VIEs during 2003 or 2004.
In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which clarifies the accounting
and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments that
are embedded in contracts. This statement is effective for contracts entered
into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted this pronouncement
beginning July 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
establishes standards for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments that possess characteristics similar to both liability and equity
instruments. SFAS No. 150 also addresses the classification of certain financial
instruments that include an obligation to issue equity shares. On October 29,
2003, the FASB voted to defer, for an indefinite period, the application of the
guidance in SFAS No. 150. The FASB decided to defer the application of certain
aspects of Statement 150 until it could consider some of the resulting
implementation issues. The Company has adopted certain provisions of SFAS No.
150 which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations. The Company is still evaluating the potential effect of
the provisions of SFAS No. 150 that have been deferred to future periods.
In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 132 (revised 2003),
Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This
Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension plans and other post
retirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
provisions of FASB Statements No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, No.
88, Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement retains the
disclosure requirements contained in FASB Statement No. 132, Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which it replaces.
It requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows,
and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other
postretirement benefit plans. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 (as revised) did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
25
17. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
As of June 30, 2004, the Company has pledged letters of credit totaling
$1,511 as additional security for certain financings and other activities.
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business.
However, none of the litigation outstanding as of June 30, 2004, in the opinion
of management, will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
18. Subsequent Events
-----------------
In July 2004, the Company completed the sale of three properties for total
consideration of $22,150, comprising an aggregate of 283,000 square feet of
gross leasable area.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes
thereto, which are included elsewhere herein, the Company's audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003 and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for an interim period may not
give a true indication of results for the entire year.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we", "our", "us",
"Equity One", and the "Company" in this report refer collectively to Equity One
Inc. and its subsidiaries, including joint ventures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of the critical
accounting policies of the Company, including revenue recognition, cost
capitalization, impairment of real estate assets, purchase accounting treatment
for acquisitions, impairment testing of goodwill, and joint venture accounting.
For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2004, there were no material
changes to these policies.
Overview
During the first six months of 2004 we executed our business strategy as
follows:
o Increased the average rental rate on 185 lease renewals aggregating
451,192 square feet by 4.3% to $13.19 per square foot;
o Executed 210 new leases totaling 951,045 square feet at an average
rental rate of $10.26 per square foot, which net of lost leases
resulted in net absorption of 393,268 square feet;
o Acquired 10 properties totaling $180.2 million, adding over 1.3
million square feet of gross leasable area;
o Sold two non-core properties for $12.6 million, generating a net $1.6
million gain on sale; and
o Raised $200 million in an unsecured debt offering with a yield of
3.902% of which $100 million was swapped to a floating rate of 6 month
LIBOR in arrears plus 0.4375%.
The various factors we use to evaluate our second quarter of 2004 operating
results are as follows:
o Increased the rental rate on 103 lease renewals aggregating 206,517
square feet by 4.2% to $13.87 per square foot;
26
o Executed 101 new leases totaling 412,783 square feet at an average
rental rate of $10.77 per square foot, which net of lost leases
resulted in net absorpotion of 232,954 square feet;
o Acquired 4 properties totaling $72.4 million, adding over 515,000
square feet of gross leasable area; and
o Sold one non-core property for $6.0 million, generating a $483,000
loss on sale.
Results of Operations
Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period
to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, development
and redevelopment. A large portion of the change in our statement of operations
line items is related to these changes in the portfolio.
On February 12, 2003, Equity One, Inc. and IRT Property Company ("IRT")
completed a statutory merger. The transaction has been accounted for as a
purchase, and the results of Equity One include the activity of IRT since
February 12, 2003.
The following summarizes items from our unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations which we think are important in understanding our
operations and/or those items which have significantly changed in 2004 compared
to 2003.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 2003
Total rental revenue increased by $10.1 million, or 21.9%, to $56.4 million
in 2004 from $46.3 million in 2003. The following factors accounted for this
difference:
o Same property rental revenue increased by approximately $1.0 million;
o Properties acquired during 2004 increased revenue by approximately
$3.5 million;
o Properties acquired during 2003 increased revenue by approximately
$5.5 million; and
o Other property rental revenue increased by $2.4 million primarily
related to the completion of a development property.
Property operating expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 17.4%, to $14.6
million for 2004 from $12.5 million in 2003. The following factors contributed
to this difference:
o Same property operating expenses increased by approximately $505,000;
o Properties acquired during 2004 increased operating expenses by
$552,000;
27
o Properties acquired during 2003 increased operating expenses by
approximately $1.4 million; and
o Other property operating expenses decreased by $257,000.
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $2.1 million, or
31.1%, to $8.9 million for 2004 from $6.8 million in 2003. The following factors
primarily accounted for this difference:
o Properties acquired during 2004 increased depreciation and
amortization by approximately $684,000;
o Properties acquired during 2003 increased depreciation and
amortization by approximately $861,000; and
o Completed developments and additions to existing properties increased
depreciation and amortization by approximately $542,000.
General and administrative expenses increased by $530,000, or 16.2%, to
$3.8 million for 2004 from $3.3 million in 2003. Compensation and employer
related expenses increased by $782,000 and all other general office expenses
decreased by $252,000.
Interest expense increased by $1.5 million, or 14.2%, to $11.7 million for
2004 from $10.2 million in 2003. This difference was primarily due to:
o An increase of $430,000 attributable to the $200 million unsecured
senior notes issued during March of 2004;
o An increase of $349,000 attributable to the debt related to the
acquisition of properties during 2004;
o An increase of $852,000 attributable to the debt related to the
acquisition of properties during 2003; and
o A decrease of $137,000 attributable to an increase in capitalized
interest related to development activity.
Investment income decreased by $149,000 due to the principal repayments
received on notes receivable.
We sold a property in the second quarter of 2004 and have eleven properties
that are held for sale as of June 20, 2004. The associated operating results of
$1.9 million for these properties are reflected as income from discontinued
operations. The 2003 discontinued operations reflect a reclassification of
operations for properties sold during 2003 and 2004 and properties held for sale
at June 30, 2004. We recognized a loss of $483,000 in the second quarter of 2004
related to the disposal of a property and recognized a gain of $1.4 million in
the second quarter of 2003 related to the disposal of three properties.
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $2.2 million, or
13.4%, to $18.5 million for 2004 from $16.3 million in 2003.
Comparison for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 to the Six Months Ended June
30, 2003
Total rental revenue increased by $27.5 million, or 33.6%, to $109.5
million in 2004 from $82.0 million in 2003. The following factors accounted for
this difference:
o The acquisition of IRT in 2003 increased revenue by approximately $9.8

o Other properties acquired during 2003 increased revenue by
approximately $11.3 million;
o Properties acquired during 2004 increased revenue by approximately
$4.0 million; and
o Other property rental revenue increased by $2.4 million primarily
related to the completion of a development property, lease-up of
vacant space, and rental rate increases.
Property operating expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 24.7%, to $28.4
million for 2004 from $22.8 million in 2003. The following factors contributed
to this difference:
o The acquisition of IRT increased operating expenses by approximately
$815,000;
o Other properties acquired during 2003 increased operating expenses by
approximately $3.0 million;
o Properties acquired during 2004 increased operating expenses by $1.1
million; and
o Other property operating expenses increased by $287,000.
Rental property depreciation and amortization increased by $5.6 million, or
48.6%, to $17.0 million for 2004 from $11.4 million in 2003. The following
factors primarily accounted for this difference:
o The acquisition of IRT increased depreciation and amortization by
approximately $2.4 million;
o Other properties acquired during 2003 increased depreciation and
amortization by approximately $1.7 million;
o Properties purchased in 2004 increased depreciation and amortization
by approximately $786,000; and
o Completed developments in 2004 and 2003 increased depreciation and
amortization by approximately $265,000.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 31.5%, to
$7.3 million for 2004 from $5.5 million in 2003. Compensation and employer
related expenses increased by $1.8 million and other general office expenses
decreased by $171,000. These expense increases were due to the increase in
staffing resulting from the IRT and other acquisitions.
Interest expense increased by $4.4 million, or 25.1%, to $22.0 million for
2004 from $17.6 million in 2003. This difference was primarily due to:
o An increase of $1.4 million attributable to the assumption of mortgage
loans and senior unsecured debt in the acquisition of IRT in 2003;
o An increase of $1.7 million attributable to the debt related to the
acquisition of properties during 2003;
o An increase of $1.5 million attributable to the $200 million unsecured
senior notes issued during March of 2004; and
o A decrease of $265,000 attributable to an increase in capitalized
interest related to development activity.
29
Investment income decreased by $472,000 due to the principal repayments
received on notes receivable.
During 2003, we repaid various mortgage notes prior to their stated
maturities and incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $513,000.
We sold two properties during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and have
eleven properties that are held for sale as of June 30, 2004. The associated
operating results of $2.9 million for these properties are reflected as income
from discontinued operations. The 2003 discontinued operations reflect a
reclassification of operations for properties sold during 2003 and 2004 and
properties held for sale at June 30, 2004. We recognized a gain of $1.6 million
in the first half of 2004 related to the disposal of two properties and
recognized a gain of $1.9 million in the first half of 2003 related to the
disposal of five properties.
As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $10.1 million, or
35.1%, to $38.8 million for 2004 from $28.7 million in 2003.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
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 and in
particular, REITs. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations,
"Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the
value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time. Since real estate
values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many
industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real
estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by
themselves."
FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is "net income (computed in accordance with
GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures". Its states further that "[a] 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 clearer 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 operating
performance. FFO (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by
GAAP, (ii) is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs,
including the ability to make distributions, (iii) is not an alternative to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity, and (iv) should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (which is determined in accordance with GAAP) for
purposes of evaluating our operating performance. We believe net income is the
most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.

The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operations of $64.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 included: (i) net income of $38.8 million, (ii) adjustments for
non-cash and gain on sale items which increased cash flow by $15.7 million, and
(iii) a net change in operating liabilities and operating assets
31
that increased cash flow by $10.0 million, compared to net cash provided by
operations of $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, which
included (i) net income of $28.7 million, (ii) adjustments for non-cash items
which increased cash flow by $11.2 million, and (iii) a net change in operating

million, offset by (a) proceeds from the sale of two properties of $7.6 million,
and (b) proceeds from payment of notes receivable of $6.1 million. These amounts
should be compared to net cash used in investing activities of $185.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2003 which included: (i) the acquisition of
one parcel of land and a supermarket for $5.2 million, (ii) construction,
development and other capital improvements of $16.2 million and (iii) the
acquisition of IRT for $187.6 million, net of cash received, offset by (a)
proceeds from the sale of properties and a joint venture interest of $11.5

utilized for tax deferred exchanges of $9.5 million, and (c) proceeds from
payment of notes receivable of $2.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $95.5 million for the six

revolving credit facilities of $81.5 million (d) an increase in deferred
financing costs of $3.0 million related to the issuance of senior notes, and (e)
other miscellaneous uses of $605,000 compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $146.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 which
included: (i) net borrowings on the revolving credit facilities of $67.9
million, (ii) net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $157.5 million,
and (iii) proceeds from repayment of notes receivable from the issuance of
common stock of $3.5 million offset by (a) the payoff of six mortgage notes for
$44.1 million and monthly principal payments on mortgage notes of $4.0 million,
(b) cash dividends paid to common stockholders of $33.2 million, and (c) other
miscellaneous uses of $1.2 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal demands for liquidity are maintenance expenditures,
repairs, property taxes and tenant improvements relating to rental properties,
leasing costs, 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 and debt securities, the placement of mortgage loans and
periodic borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities.

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 $173.1 million 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. To date, no lender has
notified the Company that it intends to accelerate its mortgage. The Company is
in the process of seeking consents from the lenders to address these issues. In
the event that the requested assurances or consents are not obtained and 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, 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.

The indentures under which the notes were issued have several covenants
which limit the Company's ability to incur debt; require the Company to maintain

lease, or convey substantially all of its assets to, or merge with any other
entity. These notes have also been guaranteed by most of the Company's
subsidiaries. The interest rate on the 7.77% senior notes is subject to a 50
basis point increase if the Company does not maintain an investment grade debt
rating.

========== ==========
The Company has a $340,000 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 bears interest at the
Company's option at (i) LIBOR plus 0.65% to 1.35%, depending on the credit
ratings of the Company's senior unsecured long term notes or (ii) at the greater
of (x) Wells Fargo's
33
prime rate and (y) the 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 1.0%. 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 $170,000 a $35,000
swing line facility for short term borrowings, a $20,000 letter of credit
commitment and may, at the request of the Company, be increased up to a total
commitment of $400,000. The facility expires February 12, 2006 with a one year
extension option. In addition, the facility contains customary covenants,
including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, interest
coverage, EBITDA levels, unencumbered properties, permitted investments and
others. 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, 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. As of June 30, 2004, the
Company had $80,500 outstanding on this credit facility. The weighted average
interest rate as of June 30, 2004 was 2.05%, including the effect of interest
rate swaps.
The Company has a $5,000 unsecured credit facility with City National Bank
of Florida, of which $41 was outstanding as of June 30, 2004. This facility also
provides collateral for $1,456 in outstanding letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2004, the availability under the various credit facilities
was approximately $113,901 net of outstanding balances and letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2004, scheduled principal amortization and the balances due

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
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.

DEVELOPMENTS AND REDEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------------------
As of June 30, 2004, we have over 20 development and redevelopment projects
underway or in the planning stage totaling approximately $57.8 million of asset
value, and based on current plans and estimates, requiring approximately $19.0
million of additional capital to complete beyond the $38.8 million already
invested. These include:
o CVS Plaza in Miami, Florida where we are completing the lease up of
the non-anchor space at a new 29,204 square foot drug store-anchored
shopping center that we built across the street from our recently
completed Publix supermarket anchored Plaza Alegre shopping center;
o Shops at Skylake in North Miami Beach, Florida, where we are in the
process of adding 29,000 square feet of retail and office space;
o Bandera Festival in San Antonio, Texas; Centre Point in Smithfield,
North Carolina; Eustis Square in Eustis, Florida; Gulf Gate Plaza in
Naples, Florida; Oakbrook Square in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and
Venice Plaza in Venice, Florida, where we have reconfigured and
redeveloped previously vacant anchor and other space and are
completing the associated lease-up;
o Ambassador Row Courtyard in Lafayette, Louisiana where we are
reconfiguring a portion of the center and adding an out parcel; and
o The development of two supermarket-anchored shopping centers, one in
Homestead, Florida and the other in McDonough, Georgia, both on
parcels of land we currently own and control.
These developments and redevelopments are scheduled for completion between
the third quarter of 2004 and early 2006.
During the second quarter of 2004, we completed and leased $11.2 million of
development projects resulting in anticipated incremental net operating income
of approximately $1.4 million on an annualized basis. During the six month
period ended June 30, 2004, we completed and leased a total of $39.4 million of
development projects resulting in incremental net operating income of
approximately $4.4 million on an annualized basis.
EQUITY
- ------
For the three months ended June 30, 2004, we issued 610,000 shares of our
common stock at prices ranging from $16.83 to $18.03 per share and for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, we issued 1,207,000 shares of our common stock at
prices ranging from $16.83 to $18.99 per share pursuant to our Divided
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. As of June 30, 2004, we have 942,000
shares remaining for sale under that plan.
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. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at
all, and any future equity financing could be dilutive to existing stockholders.
If adequate funds are not available, our business operations could be materially
adversely affected.
35
DISTRIBUTIONS
- -------------
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 and other corporate purposes,
while still maintaining our qualification as a REIT.
INFLATION
Many 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 our 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 matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain
"forward-looking statements" for purposes of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and
are not guarantees of future performance.
All statements other than statements of historical facts are
forward-looking statements, and can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may," "will," "might," "would," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "would," "could," "should," "believe," "intend," "project,"
"forecast," "target," "plan," or "continue" or the negative of these words or
other variations or comparable terminology, are subject to certain risks, trends
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those projected. Because these statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue
reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
o general economic conditions, competition and the supply of and demand
for shopping center properties in our markets;
o management's ability to successfully combine and integrate the
properties and operations of separate companies that we have acquired
in the past or may acquire in the future;
o interest rate levels and the availability of financing;
o potential environmental liability and other risks associated with the
ownership, development and acquisition of shopping center properties;
36
o risks that tenants will not take or remain in occupancy or pay rent;
o greater than anticipated construction or operating costs;
o inflationary and other general economic trends;
o the effects of hurricanes and other natural disasters; and
o other risks detailed from time to time in the reports filed by us with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required
by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly
any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------
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 and interest rates increase or
decrease, interest expense on the variable component of the Company's 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 the Company's interest expense
as these notes are predominantly at fixed-rates for extended terms. Because the
Company has the intent to hold its existing fixed rate notes either to maturity
or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes pose
interest rate risk to the Company's results of operations or its working capital
position only upon the refinancing of that mortgage. The Company's 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 its real estate.
As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately $171.6 million of outstanding
floating rate debt, including $100 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 June 30, 2004, in relation to our $960.9 million of
outstanding debt, our $1.9 billion of total assets and the $2.2 billion total
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 $1.7 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 $1.7
million. This assumes that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt
remains at approximately $171.6 million (including the $100 million of fixed
rate debt converted to floating rate debt through the use of hedging
agreements), the balance as of June 30, 2004.
The fair value of our fixed rate debt is $784.2 million, which includes the
mortgage notes, fixed rate portion of the senior unsecured notes payable, and
the hedged portion of the revolving credit facility (excluding the unamortized
premium/discount). If interest rates increase by 1%, the fair

value of our total fixed rate debt would decrease by approximately $66.6
million. If interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total
outstanding debt would increase by approximately $2.7 million. This assumes that
our total outstanding fixed rate debt remains at $789.3 million, the balance as
of June 30, 2004.
Hedging Activities
- ------------------
To manage 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 hedging derivative instruments be
effective in managing interest rate risk exposure. This effectiveness is
essential to qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the hedging instrument's
fair value related to the effective portion of the risk being hedged are
included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and in accounts
payable and accrued expenses and in those cases, hedge effectiveness criteria
also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs.
Hedges that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as cash
flow hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. When the terms of an
underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases
to exist, the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is marked to
market with the change included in net income in each period until the
derivative instrument matures. Additionally, any derivative instrument used for
risk management that becomes ineffective is marked to market and the change
included in net income.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, in the event of non-performance by
the counter-parties to the hedge agreements. 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.
In conjunction with our policy to manage interest rate risk, we have
entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of monthly cash
outflows attributable to changes in variable interest rates, such as LIBOR.
Under certain of the swaps, we receive LIBOR based payments and pay a fixed
rate. Under one of the swap agreements, we have hedged $100 million of the $200
million fixed rate unsecured senior notes due April 15, 2009 to a variable
interest rate equal to the six month LIBOR rate in arrears plus 0.4375% to lower
the overall effective borrowing rate.
A summary of the terms of the derivative instruments, as of June 30, 2004,
and a reconciliation of the fair value and adjustments to accumulated other
comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):
Hedge type............................................................... Cash Flow
Description.............................................................. Swap
Range of notional amounts................................................ $10,000 - $100,000
====================
Total................................................................ $120,000
====================
Range of interest rates.................................................. 1.92% - 3.875%
Range of maturity dates.................................................. 3/14/05 - 4/15/09
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2003.......... $ (122)
Change in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2004.............. (4,848)
--------------------
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2004.............. $ (4,970)
====================
The estimated fair value of our 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
amounts.

Other Market Risks
- ------------------
As of June 30, 2004, we had no material exposure to any other market risks
(including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price
risk).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not
control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with
respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those
we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at
the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting.
