NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)



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 March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012, the Company has ownership interests in 54 properties within its core portfolio, which consist 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 35 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 89 Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund 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.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. 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 period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 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. Management does not believe that the values of any of the Company's properties are impaired as of March 31, 2012.

Involuntary Conversion of Asset
The Company experienced significant flooding that resulted 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 sheets of approximately $1.4 million as of March 31, 2012. 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 sheets. The Company has also provided a $0.1 million provision in the 2011 year-end consolidated statement of income of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has received initial insurance proceeds of approximately $6.9 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

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 adopted ASU 2011-05 as of December 31, 2011 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

During December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification" which clarifies current guidance found in ASC Topic 810 as to the proper accounting in situations when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. ASU No. 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

2.
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. At March 31, 2012, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 13) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.

Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit (“Restricted Share Units”) and share option awards issued under the Company's Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, but would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, 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 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 included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

During January 2012, the Company established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program with an aggregate offering amount of up to $75.0 million in Common Shares. The Company intends to use the future net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of its debt, future acquisitions (directly in the Core Portfolio and through its Opportunity Funds), and redevelopments of and capital improvements to its properties. During the first quarter 2012, the Company issued 0.8 million Common Shares through the ATM program which generated gross proceeds of $18.2 million and net proceeds of $17.9 million. Of the net proceeds of $17.9 million, $8.2 million was received during March 2012 and $9.7 million was received during April 2012. The net proceeds were used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

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.

Noncontrolling interests include third party interests in the Company’s Opportunity Funds and other entities. It also includes interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 384,991 and 279,748 Common OP Units at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011; and (iii) 237,000 and 217,826 LTIP Units at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 22.2% interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the “Brandywine Portfolio”) located in Wilmington, Delaware, a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York (“Crossroads”), and a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"). These investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

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 March 31, 2012, the 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-

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 March 2012, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a $2.2 million note. The loan matures in February 2017 and is collateralized by a property located in Miami, Florida. The loan bears interest at 6% for years one and two, 7.5% for years three and four, and 8% for year five.
During March 2012, the Company made a $3.0 million loan, which is collateralized by a property located in Chicago, Illinois. The loan matures in March 2013 and bears interest at 9.2%.
During December 2011, the Company made an $8.5 million loan, which is collateralized by five properties located in Chicago, Illinois. The loan matures in December 2012 and bears interest at 12%. During March 2012, this loan was increased to $21.5 million.
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 three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

which cap variable-rate interest at 3.0%, 6.0% and 3.5% and mature in October 2012, April 2013 and August 2013, respectively. The fair value of these derivative instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was a liability totaling $3.0 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 of variable-rate interest payments on mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized losses totaling $3.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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.
In conjunction with its implementation of updates to the fair value measurements guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements on a net basis.

8.
MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

The Company completed the following transactions related to mortgage notes payable and credit facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2012:

During February 2012, the Company closed on a $4.3 million loan collateralized by a property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and matures on February 28, 2013.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued convertible notes totaling $115.0 million 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 15, 2016 and December 15, 2021.

As the Company determined that the Convertible Notes matured on December 20, 2011, as of December 31, 2011, all loan costs associated with the issuance have been expensed and there is no remaining net carrying amount of the equity component. The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The if-converted value of the Convertible Notes does not exceed their aggregate principal amount as of March 31, 2012 and there are no derivative transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.

Through December 31, 2011, the Company had purchased $114.1 million in principal amount of its Convertible Notes at an average discount of approximately 11% of which $24.0 million was repurchased by the Company at par on December 20, 2011 pursuant to the holder's exercise of their repurchase option. The Company did not purchase any of its Convertible Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The outstanding Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2012 was $0.9 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 March 31, 2012:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company earned property management fees, legal and leasing fees from the Brandywine Portfolio totaling $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Related party receivables due from an unconsolidated affiliate totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2012 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Lee Wielansky, the Lead Trustee of the Company, was paid a consulting fee of $25,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 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 related interest income. “Other” consists primarily of management fees and other 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/managing 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and 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 15, 2012, the Company issued a total of 279,611 LTIP Units and 1,358 Restricted Share Units to officers of the Company and 9,435 Restricted Share Units to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 17% 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 Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $6.4 million, of which $2.6 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2011 and $3.8 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.2 million has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively .

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 83% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of March 31, 2012. 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 April 2012, the Company acquired 930 Rush Street, a 2,930 square foot single tenant property located in Chicago, IL for $20.7 million.
During April 2012, Fund III acquired Lincoln Park Centre, a 62,700 square foot retail property located in Chicago, IL for $31.5 million, including the assumption of debt of $19.8 million.
During April 2012, the Company amended an existing $56.5 million construction loan collateralized by a property with a $69.6 million mini-permanent loan. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures on May 1, 2015 with two one-year extension options. Concurrent with this transaction, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional value of $69.6 million which fixes LIBOR at 0.70% through May 1, 2015.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the three 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, 2011 (our “2011 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
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 high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive redevelopment and re-anchoring activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative.

Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program through our Opportunity Funds. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through:

value-add investments in high-quality urban and/or street retail properties with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,
opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers or by motivated sellers and
opportunistic purchases of debt which may include restructuring.

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.

Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.

As of March 31, 2012, we operated 89 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our Opportunity Funds. These 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.

Core Portfolio

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

21




our Opportunity Funds. There are 54 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 5.0 million square feet. As of March 31, 2012, the Core Portfolio physical occupancy was 90.3%; leased occupancy was 94.2% including executed leases.

Opportunity Funds

Fund I has four remaining properties comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet.

Fund II has nine 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 22 properties totaling approximately 2.6 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 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”).

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 2011 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):

Reference is made to Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of our five reportable segments.

Rental income in the Core Portfolio increased primarily as a result of additional rents of $1.1 million following the acquisitions

22




of West Diversey, Mercer Street, 4401 White Plains Road and six Chicago street retail properties ("2011 Core Acquisitions") and additional rents of $0.3 million following the acquisitions of Cambridge Rite Aid, Cambridge Whole Foods and five additional Chicago street retail properties ("2012 Core Acquisitions"). Rental income in the Opportunity Funds increased from additional rents at Canarsie Plaza, Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza, Fordham Place and 125 Main Street of $1.1 million for leases that commenced during 2011 and 2012 (“Fund Redevelopment Properties”) as well as additional rents of $1.1 million following the acquisitions of The Heritage Shops at Millennium Park, 654 Broadway and New Hyde Park Shopping Center (“2011 Fund Acquisitions”).

Interest income in Notes Receivable and Other decreased primarily as a result of the full repayment of a note during 2011.

Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance ("CAM") as a result of the Fund Redevelopment Properties and the 2011 Fund Acquisitions.

The $1.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the Core Portfolio was attributable to the purchase of mortgage debt at a discount in 2011.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to a property sale in 2011. 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 the Company's 2011 dispositions.

23





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


CORE PORTFOLIO

The following discussion of net property operating income ("NOI") and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes both consolidated Core properties and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated Core properties within our Core Portfolio. Our Opportunity Funds invest primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and redevelopment. Given that the Opportunity Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. As a result, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Opportunity Fund investments.

NOI represents property-related revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Net Property Operating Income

NOI is determined as follows:

SELF-STORAGE PORTFOLIO
We own a portfolio of fourteen self-storage properties, with 1.1 million of net rentable square feet, located throughout New York and New Jersey. We derive revenues principally from rents received from our customers who rent units at our self-storage facilities under month-to-month leases. Therefore, our operating results depend on our ability to retain our existing customers and lease our available self-storage units to new customers while maintaining and, where possible, increasing our pricing levels.
As of March 31, 2012, the self-storage portfolio was 88.3% occupied. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had storage unit move-ins of 2,399 and storage unit move-outs of 2,208, out of a total of 16,000 storage units.
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

25




(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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders, OP unit holders and LTIP 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 months ended March 31, 2012, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and LTIP Unit holders totaling $8.1 million.

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 March 31, 2012, $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, four assets comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet.

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 RCP investments made by Mervyns I to date.




26




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 March 31, 2012, a total of $282.2 million has been invested in Fund II and Mervyns II, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $56.4 million. The remaining capital contribution balance of $17.8 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:

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 2012 notes receivable investments.

Core Portfolio Property Acquisitions, Redevelopment and Expansion

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we acquired six properties for an aggregate purchase price of $41.5 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 have entered into purchase and sale agreements with unaffiliated sellers to acquire ten properties with an aggregate purchase price of $65.8 million. We anticipate assuming debt totaling $33.3 million, utilizing existing cash on hand, and issuing

28




OP Units in connection with these acquisitions. The completion of these transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, and, as such, no assurance can be given that we will successfully complete these transactions.
Our Core Portfolio redevelopment and re-anchoring programs focus on selecting well-located urban/street retail locations and suburban shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2011, we initiated the re-anchoring of three properties, the Bloomfield Town Square and two former A&P supermarket anchors located at our Crossroads Shopping Center and The Branch Plaza. Re-anchoring costs for the Bloomfield Town Square totaled $4.5 million as of March 31, 2012 with total re-anchoring costs for all three locations estimated to range between $11.0 million and $15.0 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 March 31, 2012, 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. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting 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 debt financings, (iv) noncontrolling interests' unfunded capital commitments of $129.3 million for Fund III and (v) future sales of existing properties.

During the first four months of 2012, Fund III received capital contributions of $114.3 million to fund acquisitions and to pay down a portion of Fund III's credit facility.

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $56.4 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $49.7 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, debt securities and other securities. This shelf registration statement expired in April 2012.
During April 2012, we filed a new shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares, debt securities and other securities. We have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $443 million of these securities.

During January 2012, we established an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program with an aggregate offering of up to $75.0 million in Common Shares. We intend to use the net proceeds of these offerings for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of our debt, future acquisitions, directly and through our Opportunity Funds, and redevelopments of and capital improvements to our properties. From inception through May 8, 2012, we issued 1.1 million Common Shares through the ATM program which generated net proceeds of $24.8 million.

Financing and Debt

As of March 31, 2012, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $812.6 million, and the mortgages were collateralized by 36 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 April 2012 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $49.3 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $314.9 million of the mortgage and convertible notes payable, or 38.8%, was fixed at a 5.73% weighted average interest rate and $497.7 million, or 61.2% was floating at a 3.55% weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2012. There is $295.1 million of debt maturing in 2012 at a weighted average interest rate of 4.00%. Of this amount, $2.5 million represents scheduled annual amortization. $56.5 million of loans maturing during 2012 provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise. As it relates to remaining maturities in 2012, 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.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of two separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of March 31, 2012, there was no outstanding balance under the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the maximum amount of our exposure would be $8.8 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 $29.4 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 March 31, 2012.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2012 compared to 2011 is as follows:

The increase of $7.1 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 2011 and 2012 property acquisitions and Fund Redevelopment Projects
Payment of $3.9 million for ground rent at City Point during 2011
Additional cash of $3.3 million used during 2011 for income taxes related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries

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

Proceeds received following the repayments of notes receivable during 2011

The increase of $38.3 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 $48.7 million used in 2012 for the acquisition of real estate

32




An increase of $13.2 million in additional advances of notes receivable during 2012
An increase of $6.9 million in expenditures for redevelopment and tenant installations during 2012
A decrease of $8.0 million in proceeds from the sale of Oakbrook Center during 2011

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

A decrease of $38.9 million in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates in 2012 related to the acquisitions of Lincoln Road and White Oak during 2011

The $4.3 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 $38.6 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2012
An additional $8.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares in connection with our ATM

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

A decrease of $43.9 million in proceeds from borrowings during 2012


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 March 31, 2012, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $812.6 million, of which $314.9 million or 38.8% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $497.7 million, or 61.2% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2012, we were a party to five interest rate swap transactions and three interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $49.3 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt. We were also a party to one forward interest rate swap transactions with respect to $12.5 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $295.1 million and $132.7 million will become due in 2012 and 2013, 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 $4.3 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 $0.9 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2012 would increase by $5.0 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.
