1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, management and redevelopment of retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.

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 an interest. As of September 30, 2011, the Trust controlled approximately 99% 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 primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). 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”).

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has ownership interests in 48 properties within its core portfolio, which consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 47 properties within its three opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund L.P. (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III” and together with Fund I and Fund II, the “Opportunity Funds”). The 95 properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use properties with a retail component and self-storage properties. In addition, the Company also invests in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property initiative (“RCP Venture”). The Operating Partnership has the following equity interests in the Opportunity Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II:
Entity
Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership
Fund I and Mervyns I
22.2%
Fund II and Mervyns II
20.0%
Fund III
19.9%

In addition, with respect to each of the Opportunity Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II, the Operating Partnership is entitled to a profit participation in excess of its equity interest percentage based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”).
 
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings (or losses) of entities accounted for under the equity method are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Affiliates. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise any influence are accounted for under the cost method.

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 rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. 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. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Real Estate

The Company reviews its operating long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event, or change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company records impairment losses and reduces 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 the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held-for-sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to dispose. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company determined that the value of the Granville Centre owned by Fund I was impaired. Accordingly, it recorded an impairment loss of $6.9 million. Management does not believe that the values of any of the Company's other properties are impaired as of September 30, 2011.

Involuntary Conversion of Asset
The Company experienced significant flooding resulting in extensive damage to one of its properties during September 2011. Costs related to the clean-up and redevelopment are insured to a limit sufficient that the Company believes will allow for full restoration of the property. Loss of rents during the redevelopment are covered by business interruption insurance subject to a $0.1 million deductible. The Company plans to restore the improvements that were damaged by the flooding and expects that the costs of such restoration and rebuilding will be recoverable from insurance proceeds. In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and as a result of the above-described property damage, the Company has recorded a write-down of the asset's carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.4 million. In addition, the Company has recorded an insurance recovery in the same amount that is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company has also provided a $0.1 million provision in the consolidated statement of income for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 requires a creditor to evaluate whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring by concluding that the restructuring constitutes a concession and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments, which primarily require additional fair value disclosure, are to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-04 which is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU No. 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of the alternative chosen, companies must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income within the presentation of both net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011,

on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-05 on its consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per Common Share reflect the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of awards issuable under the Company's Share Incentive Plans. 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 diluted earnings per share include unvested restricted Common Shares (“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 noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries 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 conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not reflected in the table above as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and are accordingly included in the table above. They would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and, as such, are not included in the table above.


3.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in entities consolidated in the accompanying financial statements that the Company does not own. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from shareholders' equity.

It also include interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 280,349 and 281,294 Common OP Units at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010; and (iii) 1,060,225 and 641,534 LTIP Units at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

During 2004, the Company along with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company (“LLC”). These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to the Company. Investments under the RCP Venture are structured as separate joint ventures as there may be other investors participating in certain investments in addition to Klaff, Lubert-Adler and Acadia. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the “Acadia Investors”), all on a non-recourse basis. Through September 30, 2011, Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores (“Mervyns”) and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”). Additionally, Acadia Investors have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).

The Acadia Investors have non-controlling interests in the individual investee LLC’s as follows:

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertsons under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

The Company accounts for the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments under the cost method. Due to its minor ownership interest, based on the size of the investments as well as the terms of the underlying operating agreements, the Company has no influence over such entities operating and financial policies. Other than the minority investor rights to which the Company is entitled pursuant to statute, it has no rights other than to receive its pro-rata share of cash distributions as declared by the managers of the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments. The Company has no rights with respect to the control and operation of these investment vehicles, nor with the formulation and execution of business and investment policies.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received RCP Venture distributions totaling $4.5 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 received distributions of $6.9 million. The Operating Partnership's share of these distributions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Prior to June 30, 2010, Fund II had a 24.75% interest in CityPoint, a redevelopment project located in downtown Brooklyn, NY, which was accounted for under the equity method. On June 30, 2010, Fund II acquired the remaining interest in the project from its unaffiliated partner and, as a result, now consolidates the CityPoint investment.

Fund III Investments

The unaffiliated venture partners for the Lincoln Road (Note 4), White Oak (Note 4) and the White City Shopping Center investments maintain control over these entities and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.

During June 2010, Fund III, together with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties, including the 14 locations currently owned through Fund II and Fund III. The entity was determined to be a variable interest entity for which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

During September 2011, the Company reclassified an $8.0 million mezzanine loan from Notes Receivable to Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates related to the acquisition of the Georgetown Portfolio (Note 5).

During September 2011, the Company made a $4.0 million loan to two members of an entity which owns a shopping center in Washington D.C. The note accrues interest at 7% and matures in February 2012. In addition to the loan, the Company entered into and subsequently exercised an option to purchase the shopping center at a future date, pending the servicer's approval of the assignment of a first mortgage loan of $17.0 million. The loan will be offset against the ultimate purchase price when the Company acquires the property.

During May 2011, the Company received a payment of $54.7 million on a mezzanine loan, representing $33.8 million of principal, $13.4 million of accrued interest, and a $7.5 million exit fee.

During February 2011, the Company made a mezzanine loan for $3.8 million which accrues interest at 15% and is payable upon a capital event. The Company also received a payment of $1.9 million on a mezzanine loan.

Allowances for real estate notes receivable are established based upon management's quarterly review of the investments. In performing this review, management considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including the fair value of any collateral, the amount and status of any senior debt, and the prospects for the borrower. Because this determination is based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized from the loans may differ materially from the carrying value at the balance sheet date.

The activity in the allowance for notes receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of September 30, 2011, the Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of six interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $62.3 million, which effectively fix LIBOR at rates ranging from 0.4% to 5.1% and mature between October 2011 and November 2012. The Company also has two derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $28.9 million and $42.0 million which cap LIBOR at 6.0% and 3.5%, respectively, and mature in April 2013 and August 2013, respectively. The Company is also a party to two forward interest rate swap transactions with respect to $21.2 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt which will effectively fix LIBOR at rates ranging between 2.9% and 3.8%. The fair value of the derivative liability of these instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $3.9 million and $2.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risks.

These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, unrealized losses totaling $4.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges, hedges of net investments in foreign operations or considered to be ineffective. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued $115.0 million of convertible notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 6.03% after giving effect to the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Convertible Notes at par on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021. The Company determined that the Convertible Notes will mature on December 20, 2011.

The carrying amount of the equity component included in additional paid-in capital totaled $0.1 million at September 30, 2011 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2010. The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes does not exceed their aggregate principal amount as of September 30, 2011 and there are no derivative transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.

During 2011, the Company purchased $24.8 million in face amount of its Convertible Notes for $25.0 million and recognized
a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million.

Through September 30, 2011, the Company has purchased $90.1 million in face amount of its Convertible Notes at an average discount of approximately 14%. The outstanding Convertible Notes face amount as of September 30, 2011 was $24.9 million.

10.         FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB's fair value measurements and disclosure guidance requires the valuation of certain of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy. Market value assumptions obtained from sources independent of the Company are observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy, and the Company's own assumptions about market value assumptions are unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:

12.
SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has five reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Self-Storage Investments, Notes Receivable and Other. “Notes Receivable” consists of the Company's notes receivable and preferred equity investment and related interest income. “Other” consists primarily of management fees and interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in the Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of the Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The following tables set forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two share incentive plans, the 2003 Share Incentive Plan and the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (collectively the “Share Incentive Plans”).

On March 3, 2011 and March 22, 2011, the Company issued a combined total of 429,909 LTIP Units and 1,549 Restricted Shares to officers of the Company and 164 LTIP Units and 9,584 Restricted Shares to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards are generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 11% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures.

These awards were measured at their fair value as if they were vested on the grant date. Fair value was established as the market price of the Company's Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date.

The total value of the above Restricted Shares and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $8.4 million, of which $2.4 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2010 and $6.0 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.4 million and $1.6 million has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $3.2 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On May 10, 2011, the Company issued 22,154 Restricted Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 10,279 of the Restricted Shares will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 11,875 of the Restricted Shares vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively, from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Trustee fee expense of $0.1 million has been recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to these Restricted Shares.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. The Company has awarded units representing 71% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of September 30, 2011. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.

14.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During October 2011, the Company refinanced a loan collateralized by a property that was scheduled to mature on December 1, 2011. The new principal balance of the loan is $12.8 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The maturity date of the loan is September 30, 2014, with one three-year extension option. In addition, the Company executed a forward swap for a notional amount of $12.5 million which fixes LIBOR at 3.765% from December 3, 2012 to December 1, 2022.

During October 2011, the Company made a $5.4 million construction loan commitment to an entity under which it made an initial loan advance of $1.5 million. The loan bears interest at 15% and has an initial maturity date of April 1, 2012 with one six-month extension.

During October 2011, the Company repaid $12.0 million of the Fund III subscription line of credit.

During October 2011, the Company drew down an additional $2.5 million on a construction loan collateralized by a property.

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, 2011 and 2010 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 that 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, 2010 (our “2010 Form 10-K”) and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, including the current post-recessionary period, 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, acquisition and investment; risks related to our use of leverage; demands placed on our resources due to the growth of our business; risks related to operating through a partnership structure; our limited control over joint venture investments; the risk of loss of key members of management; uninsured losses; REIT distribution requirements and ownership limitations; concentration of ownership by certain institutional investors; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

As of September 30, 2011, we operated 95 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our three Opportunity Funds. These 95 properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use properties with a retail component and self-storage properties. The properties we operate are located primarily along the East Coast and in Chicago. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. Excluding one property under redevelopment, there are 47 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 4.9 million square feet. Fund I has 20 properties comprising approximately 0.9 million square feet. Fund II has 9 properties, seven of which (representing 1.2 million square feet) are currently operating, one of which is under construction, and one of which is in the design phase. Three of the properties also include self-storage facilities. We expect the Fund II portfolio will have approximately 2.0 million square feet upon completion of all current construction and anticipated redevelopment activities. Fund III has 18 properties totaling approximately 2.0 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 0.9 million net rentable square feet are self-storage facilities. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from these 95 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 style, as opposed to real estate, investments. Since these are not generally traditional investments in operating rental real estate but investments in operating businesses, the Operating Partnership principally 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 Core Portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street retail located in markets with strong demographics and generate internal growth within the Core Portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and/or leasing activities
Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth
Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. We target 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. These transactions may include other types of commercial real estate besides those which we invest in through our Core Portfolio. These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets

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 the 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 there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2010 Form 10-K.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of the significant variances and primary factors contributing thereto within the results of operations are addressed below (where there were no significant variances in the tables, the information is presented without further discussion):

The variance in the income tax (benefit) provision was due to an overaccrual of the 2010 tax liability at the TRS levels within the Core Portfolio.

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests - Continuing operations represents the noncontrolling interests' share of all Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.

Real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds increased due to the Fund Redevelopment Properties and the 2011 Fund Acquisition.

General and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio increased due to higher stock compensation expense and severance costs during 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds related to the reduction in Promote expense within Fund I. The variance in the Other category was related to the elimination of Fund I promote expense for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the Opportunity Funds increased due to the Fund Redevelopment Properties.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds increased as a result of additional distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson's investment of $4.7 million as well as an increase in our pro-rata share of income following our investments in Lincoln Road and White City in 2010 and 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our pro-rata share of income from Mervyns of $1.4 million in 2011.


27




The Self-Storage Investments equity in earnings (losses) represents the pro-rata share of losses from our unconsolidated investment in a self storage management company which commenced operations during 2010. The losses at the self storage management company are attributable to start-up costs.

The $33.8 million gain from bargain purchase was due to Fund II's purchase of an unaffiliated member's interest in CityPoint in 2010.

Gain on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million was the result of the purchase of mortgage debt at a discount in 2011.

Interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $1.3 million in 2011. This was attributable to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2011. Interest expense in the Self Storage Investments decreased $1.0 million in 2011 as a result of a $0.6 million decrease due to lower average interest rates in 2011 as well as a $0.4 million decrease related to fully amortized loan costs in 2011.

Income tax (benefit) provision variance in the Core Portfolio was attributable to an overaccrual of the 2010 tax liability at the TRS levels.

Income from discontinued operations related to two property sales during 2011.

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests - Continuing operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests' share of all Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.


FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, we define funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income attributable to common shareholders (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.

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 is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of operating property and depreciation and amortization. However, 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 does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Opportunity Funds and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $7.5 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

Investments

Fund I and Mervyns I

During 2001, we formed a partnership, Fund I, and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Mervyns I, with four institutional investors with $90.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. As of September 30, 2011, $86.6 million has been invested in Fund I and Mervyns I, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $19.2 million. Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all invested capital and accumulated preferred return thus triggering our Promote in all future Fund I and Mervyns I earnings and distributions.

Fund I currently owns, or had ownership interests in, 19 assets comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet as follows:

Fund II and Mervyns II
 
During 2004, we, along with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors, formed Fund II, and Mervyns II with $300.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. Fund II's primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the RCP Venture which are discussed below. As of September 30, 2011, a total of $273.2 million has been invested in Fund II and Mervyns II, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $54.6 million. The remaining capital contribution balance of $26.8 million is expected to be utilized to complete development activities for existing Fund II investments.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative

In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, formed Acadia Urban Development LLC (“Acadia Urban Development”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain mixed-use real estate properties which include a significant retail component in the New York City metropolitan area. To date our partner has invested its maximum commitment of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance.

To date, Fund II has invested in nine New York Urban Infill Redevelopment construction projects, eight of which were made through Acadia Urban Development, as follows:

Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of Fund III's 2011 acquisitions.

In addition, we, through Fund III, currently have entered into purchase and sale agreements with three unaffiliated sellers to acquire three properties with an aggregate purchase price of $64.5 million. The completion of these transactions are subject to customary

31




closing conditions, and, as such, no assurance can be given that we will successfully complete these transactions.

Notes Receivable

Reference is made to Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of our notes receivable.

During October 2011, we made a $5.4 million construction loan commitment to an entity and made an initial loan advance of $1.5 million. The loan bears interest at 15% and has an initial maturity date of April 1, 2012 with one six-month extension.

During September 2011, we made a $4.0 million loan to two members of an entity which owns a shopping center in Washington D.C. The loan accrues interest at 7% and matures February 2012.

During February 2011, we made a mezzanine loan for $3.8 million which accrues interest at 15% and is payable upon a capital event.

Core Portfolio Property Acquisitions, Redevelopment and Expansion

During the nine months ended September 2011, we acquired 15 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $73.7 million. Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of these investments.

In addition, we currently have entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unaffiliated seller to acquire 13 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $62.8 million. We anticipate assuming debt totaling $28.0 million and utilizing existing cash on hand and the issuance of OP Units in connection with this acquisition. The completion of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and, as such, no assurance can be given that we will successfully complete this transaction.

Our Core Portfolio redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. We currently have one property in the early stages of redevelopment.

Purchase of Convertible Notes

Purchases of our Convertible Notes have been another use of our liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we purchased $24.8 million in face amount of our outstanding Convertible Notes for $25.0 million.

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. Under this program we have repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares, none of which were repurchased after December 2001. As of September 30, 2011, management may cause the Company to repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.


SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

We intend on using 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, re-tenanting and RCP Venture investments, are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities, (iii) additional property debt financings, (iv) noncontrolling interests' unfunded capital commitments of $21.4 million for Fund II and $287.6 million for Fund III, and (v) future sales of existing properties.

During April 2011, Fund III received capital contributions of $46.5 million to fund the acquisition of The Heritage Shops at Millennium Park and to pay down a portion of Fund III's credit facility. During June 2011, Fund II received capital contributions of $8.0 million to fund development costs.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $59.4 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and

32




cash equivalents on hand of $98.0 million.

Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity

During April 2009, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. We have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $430.0 million of these securities.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During October 2011, we sold Fund I's Granville Centre, a 135,000 square foot shopping center located in Columbus Ohio, and received proceeds of $1.9 million. During May 2011, we sold the Ledgewood Mall, a 517,000 square foot, unencumbered enclosed mall located in Ledgewood, New Jersey, and received proceeds of $35.8 million. During January 2011, we completed the sale of a Fund II leasehold interest in the Neiman Marcus location at Oakbrook Center, located in Oak Brook, Illinois, and received proceeds of $8.0 million.

Notes Receivable

During May 2011, we received a payment of $54.7 million on a mezzanine loan, representing $33.8 million of principal, $13.4 million of accrued interest, and a $7.5 million exit fee. During February 2011, we received a payment of $1.9 million on a mezzanine loan. Reference is made to Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of our notes receivable.

Financing and Debt

At September 30, 2011, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $871.2 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $0.1 million, and the mortgages were collateralized by 29 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 1.49% to 7.34% with maturities that ranged from October 2011 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $62.3 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $329.9 million of the mortgage and convertible notes payable, or 37.9%, was fixed at a 5.70% weighted average interest rate and $541.3 million, or 62.1% was floating at a 3.49% weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2011. There is $58.5 million of debt maturing in 2011 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.88%. Of this amount, $0.9 million represents scheduled annual amortization. $32.9 million of loans maturing during 2011 provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise. As it relates to remaining maturities, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature.

Reference is made to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of transactions related to mortgage loans, bond financing and credit facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

At September 30, 2011, maturities on our mortgage notes payable and convertible notes payable ranged from October 2011 to November 2032. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at 24 of our shopping centers. We also lease space for our corporate headquarters for a term expiring in 2015.

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 such, our financial statements reflect our investment in, and our share of income and loss from but not the individual assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.

Reference is made to Note 5 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:

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of one separate letter of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of September 30, 2011, there was no outstanding balance under the letter of credit. If the letter of credit was fully drawn, the maximum amount of our exposure would be $4.6 million.

In addition to our derivative financial instruments, one of our unconsolidated affiliates is a party to two separate interest rate LIBOR swaps with a notional value of $29.7 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 5.54% and expire in December 2017. Our pro-rata share of the fair value of the derivative liabilities totaled $0.4 million at September 30, 2011.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2011 compared to 2010 is as follows:

The increase of $16.5 million in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the following:

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from operating activities:

Additional rents from Fund redevelopment projects, Core and Fund acquisitions and distributions from our RCP investment in Albertson's
Funding of an escrow account with the proceeds from the City Point bond financing during 2010

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash from operating activities:

Payment of $3.9 million for ground rent at City Point during 2011
Additional cash payments totaling $2.6 million during 2011 for income taxes related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries

The increase of $75.6 million in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following:

Items which contributed to an increase in cash used in investing activities:
    
An increase of $77.0 million in expenditures for real estate, development and tenant installations during 2011
An increase of $43.6 million in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates during 2011 related to the acquisitions of Lincoln Road, White Oak, and Georgetown
An increase of $7.8 million in additional advances of notes receivables during 2011

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash used in investing activities:

An increase of $43.8 million in proceeds from the sale of two properties during 2011
An increase of $6.2 million from the collection of notes receivable during 2011

The $19.6 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the following:

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from financing activities:

An additional $49.9 million in borrowings during 2011
An additional $22.6 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2011

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash from financing activities:

An additional $33.1 million in repayments of debt during 2011
$22.0 million in repurchases of convertible notes during 2011

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 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 and cap agreements. As of September 30, 2011, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $871.2 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $0.1 million, of which $329.9 million or 37.9% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $541.3 million, or 62.1% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2011, we were a party to six interest rate swap transactions and two interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $62.3 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt. We were also a party to two forward interest rate swap transactions with respect to $21.2 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $58.5 million and $335.6 million will become due in 2011 and 2012, 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 $3.9 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $1.1 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2011 would increase by $5.4 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.8 million. 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. In accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
