ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of September 30, 2007, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
During 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million in investments. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $16.5 million to Fund I and $2.7 million to Mervyns I.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services) is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all earnings and distributions.
During June of 2004, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and during August 2004 formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II combined expect to be able to acquire or develop up to $900.0 million of investments on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $28.8 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.
Effective May 15, 2007, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) with thirteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II. With $500.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III is substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership has contributed $0.6 million to Fund III.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (continued)
Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 7), which it has made through the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”), using the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of the unconsolidated affiliate until the Company receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with paragraph 19 of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 these estimates. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.” (“Interpretation No. 48”), Interpretation No. 48 defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company adopted Interpretation No. 48 on January 1, 2007. Based on its evaluation, the Company had no uncertain tax positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of the adoption date or as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the tax years 2003 through and including 2006 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three years after filing of the respective returns. There are currently no federal or state tax examinations in progress.
During September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions under SFAS No. 123. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial statements.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 159.
On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (the “Proposed FSP”) that affects the accounting for the Company’s convertible notes payable. The Proposed FSP requires the initial debt proceeds from the sale of the Company’s convertible notes to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount must be amortized over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The Proposed FSP, if adopted, would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would require retroactive application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this Proposed FSP would have on its financial statements if adopted.
3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to Common Shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each period consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated.

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (Note 13) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 and 55,595 Series A and B Preferred OP Units would be dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and are included in the above table. The effect of the assumed conversion of 337,097 Preferred OP Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is not reflected in the above table as such assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive.

6. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Acquisition of Properties

The redevelopment plans include the demolition of the existing improvements and the construction of a mixed-use project to be called CityPoint.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, which requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a “component” of an entity, for all periods presented, the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which were sold or became held for sale prior to September 30, 2007, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.
The combined results of operations of properties held for sale are reported separately as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Included in discontinued operations are Amherst Marketplace and Sheffield Crossing, which the Company was marketing for sale as of September 30, 2007. Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 also included Soundview Marketplace, Bradford Towne Centre, Greenridge Plaza, Luzerne Street Shopping Center and the Pittston Plaza, all of which the Company sold during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Partnerships
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”)
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. On September 2, 2004, Mervyns I and II, on a non-recourse basis through the RCP Venture, invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department store chain from Target Corporation. The gross acquisition price was $1.2 billion, which was financed with $800.0 million of debt and the balance with equity. Mervyns’ I and II combined $24.6 million share of this investment was divided equally between them. The Operating Partnership’s share of this investment totaled $5.2 million. Since inception, Mervyns I and II received distributions totaling $47.3 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of these distributions totaled $11.5 million.
During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods. Mervyns II invested $23.0 million in this acquisition on a non-recourse basis through the RCP Venture as part of an investment consortium. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital was $4.6 million.
During 2006, Fund II, through the RCP Venture made additional investments in Shopko and Marsh, aggregating $1.8 million, of which the Operating Partnership’s share amounted to $0.4 million. The Company accounts for these investments using the cost method due to its immaterial ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies.
During the first quarter of 2007, Mervyns II received a cash distribution of $44.4 million from its Albertson’s investment which was sourced from the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held by Albertson’s. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution, after allocation to minority interests, was $8.9 million. The distribution in excess of invested capital was reflected as an extraordinary gain of $23.7 million to Mervyns II of which the Operating Partnership’s share, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $2.9 million. This gain was characterized as extraordinary in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the expected treatment in the financial statements of Albertson’s.
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company received the 2006 audited financial statements from Albertson’s. In accordance with the accounting policy discussed in Note 1, Mervyns II’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and extraordinary gain from Albertson’s has been adjusted in the third quarter to agree with the audited financial statements. The effect of the adjustment resulted in an increase to the extraordinary gain of $6.5 million and a corresponding decrease to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. The Operating Partnership’s share of the adjustment, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $0.8 million.

Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 15, 2007 (the “Grant Date”), the Company issued 108,823 Restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) to officers and 20,735 Restricted Shares to employees of the Company. The Restricted Shares do not carry the rights of Common Shares, including voting rights, until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. The dividend will not be paid until the Restricted Shares have vested but there will be a catch-up payment upon vesting from the Grant Date to the applicable vesting date. All Restricted Shares are subject to the recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates. Vesting with respect to 61,940 of the Restricted Shares issued to officers, is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares. Vesting with respect to 46,883 of the Restricted Shares issued to officers is over three years with 30% vesting on the first anniversary and 35% vesting on the following two anniversaries of the Grant Date. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to employees, is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 25% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 50,000 Restricted Shares to an officer in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President. Vesting with respect to these Restricted Shares, is over five years with 20% vesting on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date.
The total value of the above Restricted Share awards on the grant date was $4.5 million. Compensation expense of $0.3 million and $1.0 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these Restricted Shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 20,322 Restricted Partnership Units (“LTIP Units”) to officers and 1,214 LTIP Units to employees of the Company. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common Partnership Units. This distribution is paid on both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common Partnership Units and Common Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts. Vesting with respect to the LTIP Units is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the officers unvested LTIP Units and 25% of the employees unvested LTIP Units are also subject to the achievement of certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.
The total value of these LTIP Units on the grant date was $0.5 million. Compensation expense of $34,000 and $101,000 has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these LTIP Units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On May 15, 2007, the Company issued 15,927 unrestricted Common Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. In addition, on August 23, 2007, the Company issued an additional 1,918 unrestricted common shares to a newly elected Trustee. Trustee fee expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these unrestricted Common Shares.
14. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE
On August 14, 2007, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved and declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of $0.20 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2007 to shareholders of record as of September 28, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the three and nine months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors are set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.
OVERVIEW
We currently operate 77 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our core portfolio or within our Funds I and II. These properties consist of 75 commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use centers and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. Our core portfolio consists of 34 properties comprising approximately five million square feet. Fund I has 32 properties comprising approximately two million square feet. Fund II has nine properties, the majority of which are undergoing redevelopment and will have approximately two million square feet upon completion of redevelopment activities. The majority of our operating income derives from the rental revenues from these properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity, as opposed to real estate investments. Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
  -   Own and operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties, with a retail component, located in markets with strong demographics.
 
  -   Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities.
 
  -   Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions.
 
  -   Partner with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.
 
  -   Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review both properties held for use and for sale for indicators of impairment. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in our portfolio was impaired as of September 30, 2007.

Bad Debts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and straight-line rent. As of September 30, 2007, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.0 million. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2007 (“2007”) to the three months ended September 30, 2006 (“2006”)
                                 
                    Change  
(dollars in millions)   2007     2006     $     %

Total revenues
  $ 27.3     $ 25.2     $ 2.1       8 %
 
                       
The increase in minimum rents was primarily attributable to additional rents following our acquisition of 200 West 54th Street, 145 East Service Road and 2914 Third Avenue (“2006/2007 Acquisitions”) as well as Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007. In addition, minimum rents increased as a result of re-tenanting activities across our portfolio.
Percentage rents decreased as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
Common area maintenance (“CAM”) expense reimbursement increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions. Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $0.2 million primarily as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
Management fee income decreased $0.2 million primarily as a result of lower fees earned in connection with the Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2006 and 2007.
The increase in interest income was attributable to higher balances in interest earning assets in 2007.

Total operating expenses
  $ 19.3     $ 18.5     $ 0.8       4 %
 
                       
The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions as well as Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007.
The increase in real estate taxes was due to the 2006/2007 Acquisitions offset by $0.2 million related to the capitalization of construction period real estate taxes at a property that was operating in 2006.
The variance in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, of $1.1 million related to additional personnel hired in late 2006 and 2007 as well as increases in existing employee compensation. In addition, there was an increase of $0.4 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Fund assets and asset management services. These factors were offset by an increase in capitalized construction salaries due to higher redevelopment activities in 2007.
Depreciation expense increased $0.3 million in 2007. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions. Amortization expense increased $0.1 million, which was primarily the result of increased amortization of loan costs following our convertible note issuances in December 2006 and January 2007.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of our pro rata share of distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $4.2 million and our investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.6 million as well as an increase in our pro rata share of earnings from our Mervyns investment of $3.1 million. Partially offsetting these increases was the reclassification of $6.5 million from equity in earnings to extraordinary gain during the quarter to reconcile the character of the income based on audited financial statements of Albertson’s received during the quarter. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $0.5 million in 2007. This was the result of a $1.3 million increase attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2007 offset by a $0.8 million decrease resulting from a lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2007.
The variance in minority interest is attributable to the minority partners’ share of the income reported from the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
The variance in income tax expense relates to our share of income and losses from Albertson’s and Mervyns.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties held for sale in 2007 and properties sold during 2006.
The extraordinary item in 2007 relates to the reclassification of income from the Albertson’s investment as discussed above.

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to those factors discussed in comparison of the three months ended 2007 to the three months ended 2006.
Percentage rents decreased as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
CAM expense reimbursements decreased $0.2 million. During 2007, we completed our multi-year review of CAM billings and resolved the majority of all outstanding CAM billing issues with our tenants. As a result, 2007 was adversely impacted by charges related to the settlement and related accrual adjustments totaling $0.8 million. This was partially offset by higher CAM recovery resulting from increased snow removal costs in 2007. Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $1.0 million, primarily as a result of lower real estate tax expense in 2007.
Management fee income decreased $0.8 million primarily as a result of lower fees earned in connection with Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2006 and 2007.
The increase in interest income was attributable to interest income on notes and other advances receivable originated in the second half of 2006 as well as higher balances in interest earning assets in 2007.
The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million reimbursement of certain fees by the institutional investors of Fund I for the Brandywine Portfolio in 2006.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions, Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007 and higher snow removal costs in 2007.
The decrease in real estate taxes was due to tax refunds and adjustments of prior years estimated taxes of $0.7 million recorded in 2007 and $0.4 million related to the capitalization of construction period real estate taxes at a property that was operating in 2006. These decreases were partially offset by increased real estate tax expense following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions.
The variance in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense, including stock based compensation, of $2.2 million for additional personnel hired in the second half of 2006 and 2007 as well as increases in existing employee salaries. In addition, there was an increase of $0.6 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Fund assets and asset management services.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of our pro rata share of distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $5.8 million and our investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.4 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in our pro rata share of earnings from our Mervyns investment of $0.5 million and the reclassification of Albertson’s income of $6.5 million from equity in earnings to extraordinary gain during the quarter to reconcile the character of the income based on audited financial statements of Albertson’s received during the quarter.. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $1.8 million in 2007. This was the result of a $3.8 million increase attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2007 and an increase of $0.4 million related to defeasance costs associated with a loan payoff in 2007. These increases were offset by a $2.4 million decrease resulting from a lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2007.
The variance in minority interest is attributable to the minority partners’ share of the income reported from the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties held for sale in 2007 and properties sold during 2006.
The extraordinary gain in 2007 relates to our share of the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes and minority interest, from our Albertson’s investment.
Funds from Operations
Consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, we define funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as adjusted to include the extraordinary gain from our RCP investment in Albertson’s. As discussed in Note 7 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q, this gain is a result of distributions we received in excess of our invested capital of which the Operating Partnership’s share, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $3.7 million. This gain is characterized as extraordinary in our GAAP financial statements as a result of the nature of the income passed through from Albertson’s. As previously discussed under “Overview” in Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, we believe that income or gains derived

23


Table of Contents

from our RCP investments, including our investment in Albertson’s, are private-equity investments and, as such, should be treated as operating income and therefore FFO. The character of this income in our underlying accounting does not impact this conclusion. Accordingly, we believe that this supplemental adjustment to FFO more appropriately reflects the results of our operations.
We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO and FFO, as adjusted, may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, do not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our joint venture commitments, property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our existing portfolio and (iii) debt service and loan repayments.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $6.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

Fund II and Mervyns II
Reference is made to Note 1 and Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of Fund II and Mervyns II. To date, Fund II’s primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the Retailer Controlled Property Venture.
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”)
During January of 2004, along with our investors in Funds I and II, we entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in retailers or the surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion, although this may increase based on future investment opportunities. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. Affiliates of Mervyns I and II and Fund II have invested $52.1 million in the RCP Venture through September 30, 2007. We anticipate investing the remaining portion of the original 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture through Fund II and Fund III and through acquisition funds that we may establish in the future. Cash flow is to be distributed to the RCP partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). We will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services to the extent we provide such services on behalf of the RCP Venture.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September of 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.0 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest.
During February of 2007, Acadia-P/A entered into an agreement for the purchase of the leasehold interest in The Gallery at Fulton Street and adjacent parking garage in downtown Brooklyn. The fee position in the property is owned by the City of New York and the agreement includes an option to purchase this fee position at a later date. Acadia P/A is partnering with MacFarlane Partners (“MacFarlane”) to co-develop the project. On June 13, 2007, Acadia P/A and MacFarlane acquired the leasehold interest for approximately $115.0 million.
Redevelopment plans for the property, renamed as CityPoint, include the demolition of the existing structure and the development of a 1.6 million square foot mixed-use complex. The proposed development calls for the construction of a combination of retail, office and residential components, all of which are currently allowed as of right. Acadia P/A, together with MacFarlane, will develop and operate the retail component, which is anticipated to total 475,000 square feet of retail space. Acadia P/A will also participate in the development of the office component with MacFarlane, which is expected to include at least 125,000 square feet of office space. MacFarlane plans to develop and operate up to 1,000 residential units with underground parking. Acadia P/A does not plan on participating in the development of, or have an ownership interest in, the residential component of the project.
Additionally, on May 31, 2007, Acadia, through Fund II and in partnership with its self-storage partner at several of the other New York urban projects, acquired a property on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York for $5.0 million. Redevelopment plans for the property call for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a modern climate controlled self-storage facility consisting of approximately 110,000 square feet.
On October 31, 2007, Acadia P/A acquired a 530,000 square foot warehouse building in Canarsie, Brooklyn for approximately $21.0 million. The development plan for this property includes the demolition of a portion of the warehouse and the construction of a 320,000 square foot mixed-use project consisting of retail, office, cold-storage and self-storage.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”)
Reference is made to Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of Fund III. With $500.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.5 billion of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. As of September 30, 2007, $3.0 million has been invested in Fund III, of which $0.6 million was contributed by the Operating Partnership.
On November 1, 2007, Acadia, through Fund III, and an unaffiliated partner acquired a property in Westport, Connecticut for approximately $17.0 million. Our plan is to redevelop the existing building into 30,000 square feet of retail, office and residential use.
On November 5, 2007, Fund III, through Acadia P/A, acquired a property in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn for approximately $20.0 million. Our redevelopment plan includes the demolition of the existing structures and the construction of a 240,000 square foot shopping center on the site.
Other Investments
Reference is made to Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of property acquisitions. As part of maintaining a strong core portfolio, we continue to focus on the opportunistic upgrading of our core properties by selling non-core or secondary assets and replacing them with assets located in higher-quality infill, supply-constrained markets. When practical, we complete these transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code to accomplish these transactions in a tax efficient manner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership furthered this goal with the completion of one acquisition in Manhattan and another in Staten Island, New York for a total of $53.4 million. The Staten Island acquisition enabled us to defer, for income tax purposes, a $14.5 million taxable gain from the fourth quarter 2006 sale of a non-core asset.
Property Development, Redevelopment and Expansion
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers within our core portfolio and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we did not undertake any significant redevelopment projects within our core portfolio, nor do we currently anticipate commencing any additional redevelopment projects within the core portfolio during the balance of 2007.
Share Repurchase
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. The repurchase of our Common Shares was not a use of our liquidity during 2006. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II and Fund III, as well as new funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting and RCP investments are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) unrelated member capital contributions and (v) future sales of existing properties. As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $137.6 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $128.0 million. In addition, during the first quarter of 2007, we, through our RCP Venture, received a cash distribution on our ownership position in Albertson’s as discussed under Uses of Liquidity in this Form 10-Q, “RCP Venture”. We anticipate that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all of our debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Financing and Debt
At September 30, 2007, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $488.1 million and were collateralized by 52 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 3.75% to 8.5% with maturities that ranged from November 2007 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $24.2 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $406.9 million of the portfolio, or 83%, was fixed at a 5.3% weighted average interest rate and $81.2 million, or 17% was floating at a 6.5% weighted average interest rate. There is $18.0 million and $70.7 million of debt scheduled to mature in 2007 and 2008, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 6.9% for 2007 and 6.18% for 2008. As we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes our financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2006:
During the first nine months of 2007, we drew down an additional $17.2 million on existing construction loans. During September 2007, we paid off $19.2 million of these loans. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on these construction loans was $9.8 million.
During the first quarter of 2007, we paid off a variable-rate loan balance of $21.5 million.
During January 2007, we obtained a new $26.0 million loan secured by a property. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% and matures on February 11, 2017. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay down the existing $15.7 million balance.
During March 2007, we closed on a $30.0 million revolving credit facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and matures on March 29, 2010. As of September 30, 2007, this line of credit was fully available.
During 2007, we borrowed $19.0 million on an existing credit facility.
During July 2007, we closed on a new $26.3 million mortgage loan secured by a property. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.88% and matures on August 1, 2017. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay down an existing $12.5 million loan.
During September 2007, we extended a $19.0 million loan that bears fixed interest at 5.83% to a new maturity date of March 1, 2008 and also extended a $2.9 million loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points to a new maturity date of October 5, 2008.
On September 12, 2007, we closed on a $25.5 million loan secured by a property that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.8% and matures on October 1, 2017.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2007, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from November 2007 to November 2032. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at seven of our shopping centers. We also lease space for our White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2015. The following table summarizes our debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2007:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have a non-controlling interest. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income and loss from but not the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.
     Reference is made to Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. Our pro rata share of unconsolidated debt related to these investments is as follows:
                         
(dollars in millions)   Pro rata share of     Interest rate at        
Investment   mortgage debt     September 30, 2007     Maturity date

Total
  $ 73.2                  
 
                     
In addition, we have arranged for the provision of eight separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of September 30, 2007, there were no outstanding balances under any of these letters of credit. If these letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $18.4 million.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following table compares the historical cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (“2007”) with the cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 (“2006”):

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2007 versus 2006 are as follows:
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from an increase of $21.7 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2007, which was primarily due to the increase of $27.7 million in distributions of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates as a result of the distributions from Albertson’s in 2007. In addition, a net increase in cash of $30.2 million resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily other assets, which was the result of the repayment of notes from our qualified intermediary relating to Section 1031 transactions.

Table of Contents

The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $47.0 million of additional expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations in 2007, $9.3 million of additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates in 2007 due to our investment in CityPoint, $10.1 million of additional collections of notes receivable in 2006, and the repayment of $19.0 million of our preferred equity investment in 2006. These net increases were offset by $35.6 million of additional notes receivable originated in 2006.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from an additional $15.0 million in cash received from the issuance of convertible debt in 2007, an increase of $24.2 million of contributions from partners and members in 2007, and an additional $19.1 million used for the repayment of debt in 2006. These increases were offset by additional cash of $26.5 million from borrowings in 2006 and an additional $25.1 million of distributions to partners and members in 2007.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2 for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of September 30, 2007, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $488.1 million of which $406.9 million or 83%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $81.2 million, or 17%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2007, we were a party to three interest rate swaps transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $24.2 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2007 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted-average interest rates of maturing amounts:

Of our total consolidated and pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt, $18.0 million and $72.4 million will become due in 2007 and 2008, respectively. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $0.9 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable-debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2007 would increase by $0.8 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
