ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On August 26, 1999, Equity One, Inc. (the "Company"), through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired a supermarket anchored shopping center known
as Pine Island Plaza, and an adjacent shopping center known as Ridge Plaza from
Pine Island Commons, Ltd., an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $32.4 million. Pine Island Plaza consists of
approximately 24.5 acres of land with approximately 255,000 square feet of gross
leasable area, and is anchored by a Publix supermarket and Home Depot Expo.
Ridge Plaza consists of approximately 16.3 acres of land with approximately
155,000 square feet of gross leasable area, and is anchored by an AMC Theaters
and the administrative offices of Republic Security Bank. Pine Island Plaza and
Ridge Plaza are located on Pine Island Road and Interstate 595 in Davie, Broward
County, Florida. As of the date of the acquisition, Pine Island Plaza and Ridge
Plaza were 93.8% leased.

         The purchase price consisted of (i) a cash deposit in the amount of
$500,000, (ii) a cash payment of approximately $5.7 million and (iii) the
assumption of a first mortgage in favor of Banc One Mortgage Capital Markets
LLC, now known as Orix Capital, in the amount of $26.2 million. The Company
funded the cash portion of the consideration through borrowings under its
acquisition line of credit. The assumed mortgage bears interest at an annual
rate of 6.91%, and matures in June 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage,
the Company is required to maintain a $1.4 million letter of credit to guarantee
certain maintenance and repair obligations at the two properties.

         Reference is made to the Agreement for Purchase and Sale, a copy of
which is filed as an exhibit hereto, for additional information concerning the
terms and conditions of the Company's purchase of the properties.

         5. INSPECTIONS AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY:

                  A. Buyer shall have twenty four (24) days from the later of
(i) the Effective Date of the Agreement or (ii) the date on which the Buyer has
received copies of each Tenant Lease, an updated Rent Roll and year to date
Income and Expense Statements, to complete its due diligence inspection of the
Real Property (the "Inspection Period"). To assist Buyer with this inspection,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of all available leases, contracts,
agreements, licenses, permits, surveys, environmental reports, roof reports,
building inspection reports and other reports in Seller's possession concerning
the condition of the Property, as well as utility bills, year to date income and
expense statements, sales reports for the anchor tenants for the current year
and past three years; any other sales reports from any tenant required to report
for the current year and past three years, etc. concerning the Real and Personal
Property. During the Inspection Period, Buyer may conduct such inspections, at
Buyer's sole expense, as Buyer may deem necessary to ascertain the physical
condition of the Real Property. In the event the Real or Personal Property is
not acceptable to Buyer for any reason, Buyer shall provide written notice of
same to Seller, at Seller's address, prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period. In such event, this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further
force and effect and Buyer and Seller shall be released of all obligations
hereunder and Buyer shall be refunded all deposits without further notice.
Failure of Buyer to deliver notice to Seller as required herein shall constitute
waiver of Buyer's right to give such notice and shall be deemed acceptance of
the Real and Personal Property by Buyer. Buyer shall (i) complete its
inspection; (ii) not disturb or interfere with the operation, management or use
of the Project by Seller, Seller's agents, any tenant of the Project or by any
such tenant's customers, invitee or guests; and (iii) not damage or affect the
physical structure of the Property. Buyer shall be responsible for any and all
losses, damages, charges and other costs associated with such inspections and
studies, and Buyer covenants and agrees to return the Property to the same
condition as existed prior to such inspections and studies. Buyer agrees not to
allow any liens to arise against the Property as a result of such inspections
and studies and agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against
any and all claims, charges, actions, costs, suits, damages, injuries, or other
liabilities which arise, either directly or indirectly, from Buyer's or its
agent's or employee's entry onto the Property prior to Closing.

         Buyer agrees to pay up to $2,000.00 toward the costs of copying all
leases delivered to Buyer.

                  B. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is purchasing the Property in
"AS IS, WHERE IS" Condition and Buyer further acknowledges that Seller has made
no warranties or

                                        3

<PAGE>

representations, express or implied, in respect to the real and personal
property except as set forth herein and further, Buyer has been given the
opportunity and has made an independent investigation of the Property.

         6. CLOSING:

                  A. The closing for delivery of the deed and payment of the
balance of the purchase price shall take place at Buyer's attorney's office at a
mutually agreeable time seven (7) days after the expiration of the Inspection
Period, unless extended by other provisions hereof.

                  B. Possession of the Property shall be transferred by Seller
to Buyer simultaneously with the closing of title.

         7. FINANCING:

                  Buyer's obligation to close shall be subject to and
conditioned upon Buyer being approved for the assumption of that certain first
mortgage in favor of Banc One Mortgage Capital Markets LLC that currently
encumbers the Property at an interest rate of 6.91%, due and payable no later
than July, 2008, with a remaining principal balance of approximately
$26,225,000.00 (hereinafter the "Mortgage"). To the extent that the principal
balance varies, the cash portion of the purchase price shall be adjusted
accordingly at Closing. Within five (5) business days of the Effective Date,
Buyer shall with due diligence and in good faith apply for assumption
(hereinafter "Assumption") of the Mortgage and shall supply to Banc One all
information requested in connection with the Assumption. The Assumption shall be
in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the note and mortgage
documents. In the event Buyer is not approved for the Assumption in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the note and mortgage, this Agreement shall be
terminated at the option of the Buyer, the deposit returned to the Buyer and
Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all obligations to each other under this
Agreement. Buyer cannot waive the Assumption and close "all cash". Buyer shall
be responsible for all and pay all fees and expenses associated with the
Assumption, however, in no event shall the fee for the Assumption exceed 0.5
percent of the Mortgage balance.

                  In the event that the Assumption is not completed within 60
days of the Effective Date, either party may terminate this Agreement. Upon such
termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be
null and void.

         8. SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES:

                  Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the
Effective Date:

obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all encroachments,
overlaps, boundary line disputes and other matters disclosed by a certified

improvements presumed to be located on the real property in fact encroach on
setback lines, easements, or lands of others, or violate any restrictions of
record, covenant or applicable government regulation, same shall be treated as a
title defect which renders title unmarketable. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Seller has delivered to Buyer a recent survey of the Property and Buyer agrees
to take title to the Property subject to all matters indicated thereon.

encumbrance against the Property. Nothing contained herein, shall limit, modify,

and at Seller's expense, upon Closing, good, marketable and insurable title to
the Property. In the event

                                       12
<PAGE>

any exception referenced herein cannot be deleted, same shall be treated as a
title defect.

                  E. If the title is not insurable at the time of Closing,
Seller shall have 90 days following the date for Closing within which to remedy
such defect and shall use diligent effort to cure such defect within 90 days of
said notice. If Seller shall fail to cure such defect within said 90 day period,
Buyer shall have the option of either accepting the title as it is or demanding
a refund of the Buyer's deposit. Buyer may also allow such additional time as
may be deemed necessary, in the discretion of the Buyer, for Seller to cure such
defect. Upon any such refund, this Agreement shall thereupon be terminated and
both parties shall be relieved of further liabilities hereunder. Seller shall
not be obligated to commence litigation or pay any expenses (exceeding
$10,000.00) in the aggregate to render title insurable and marketable.

Buyer for Seller's use as Exhibit B attached hereto. Buyer will accept a Major
Tenant's standard estoppel certificate. Buyer's obligation to close shall be
subject to (1) receipt of such Estoppel Letters from each and every tenant
occupying 3,000 square feet or more of space and 85% or the remaining tenants
and (2) said Estoppel Letters being materially consistent with the terms and
conditions of the Leases of the tenants. Seller will use its best efforts to
obtains Estoppel Certificates from each tenant, however, Seller may supply a an
Affidavit containing the same representations set forth in the Estoppel
Certificate for the remaining 15% of the tenants under 3,000 square feet.

         19. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement may be assigned to a controlled
affiliate of the Buyer without the consent of Seller, provided assignee accepts
assignment thereof and assumes the obligations contained therein and provided
the Mortgage holder consents to same. Buyer may elect to change the name or the
Corporate Purchaser and upon such change, shall notify Seller, such change to be
made at least three (3) days prior to Closing.

         20. DEFAULT: Should Buyer fail to purchase on the date on which title
is to close in accordance with this Agreement, or fail to perform any of Buyer's
other obligations under this Agreement and such default is not cured within 10
days after written notice to Buyer, Seller may, at Seller's option, cancel this
Agreement by written notice to Buyer. In such event, Buyer's deposits and all
other sums paid to Seller (including any interest earned thereon) shall be
retained by Seller as liquidated and agreed damages for Buyer's default, and
this Agreement shall terminate. Seller has removed the Property from the market
and has incurred indirect expenses relative to sales, advertising and the like,
and Buyer recognizes that no other method could determine the precise damage
resulting and retention of all sums then paid as liquidated and agreed damages
shall be Seller's sole remedy in the event of Buyer's default. If this Agreement
is so canceled, Seller may sell the Property to any third party as though this
Agreement had never

                                       13
<PAGE>

been made (without any obligation to account to Buyer for any part of the
proceeds of such sale). Buyer agrees not to file any action against Seller
seeking the return of any portion of said deposits or seek any reduction in the
amount of the liquidated and agreed upon damages if this Agreement is terminated
for Buyer's default. Should Seller default under this Agreement or fails to
perform any of Seller's other obligations under this Agreement and such default
is not cured within 10 days after written notice to Seller, Buyer's sole and
exclusive remedy shall be to (i) obtain a refund of all deposits made, whereupon
this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any liability to the
other, or (ii) bring an action for specific performance.

         21. ESCROW AGENT: The Escrow Agent shall hold the deposit funds and
perform such duties as set forth in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto,
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
