ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of March 31, 2008, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
During 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million in investments. As of March 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had contributed $16.5 million to Fund I and $2.7 million to Mervyns I.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% equity interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its equity interest percentage based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services) is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all earnings and distributions.
During June of 2004, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and during August 2004 formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II combined expect to be able to acquire or develop up to $900.0 million of investments on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of March 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had contributed $30.8 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.
During May of 2007, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) with 14 institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II. With $503 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital is $100.0 million and it is the managing member with a 19.9% interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III is substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of March 31, 2008, the Operating Partnership had contributed $19.2 million to Fund III.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-05. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (continued)
Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 7), which it has made through the Retailer Controlled Property Venture with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) (“RCP Venture”), using the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of the unconsolidated affiliate until the Company receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with paragraph 19 of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
During September 2006, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions under SFAS No. 123R. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for non-financial assets and liabilities, for which this statement will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values. On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 and it did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements or results of operations.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 with no impact to the Company’s financial statements or results of operations.
On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position 14-a (“FSP 14-a”) that affects the accounting for the Company’s convertible notes payable (Note 10). FSP 14-a requires the proceeds from the sale of convertible debt be allocated between the debt and equity components. The debt component will be measured based on the fair value of similar debt without an equity conversion feature, and the equity component will be determined as the residual of the fair value of the debt deducted from the original proceeds received. The resulting discount on the debt component must be amortized over the period of the debt. FSP 14-a will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP 14-a would have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which, among other things, provides guidance and establishes amended accounting and reporting standards for a parent company’s noncontrolling or minority interest in a subsidiary. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 amends SFAS No. 133 to provide additional information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 . The adoption of SFAS No. 161 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to Common Shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each period consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated.

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units (Note 14) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 10) is not reflected in the table as such conversion would be anti dilutive. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 Series A Preferred OP Units would be dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and they are included in the above table. The effect of the assumed conversion of 178,993 Series A and B Preferred OP Units for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was dilutive and they are included in the table.

Acquisition of Properties
On February 29, 2008, the Company acquired a portfolio of 11 self-storage properties located throughout New York and New Jersey for approximately $174.0 million. The portfolio totals approximately 920,000 net rentable square feet. Ten properties are operating and one is currently under construction. The Company is in the process of completing its purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, which requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a “component” of an entity, for all periods presented, the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties that were sold or became held for sale prior to March 31, 2008, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.
The combined assets and liabilities of properties held for sale for the period ended March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 are reported separately as discontinued operations.

7. INVESTMENTS
Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Partnerships
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”)
During January of 2004, the Company commenced the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has invested $56.1 million through the RCP Venture on a non-recourse basis. The expected size of the RCP Venture is approximately $300 million, of which the Company’s share is $60 million. Cash flow from any investment in which the RCP Venture participants elect to invest, is to be distributed to the participants until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff and 80% to the partners (including Klaff).
Mervyns Department Stores
During September of 2004, the RCP Venture invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department Store chain (“Mervyns”) from Target Corporation. The gross acquisition price of $1.2 billion was financed with $800 million of debt and $400 million of equity. As of March 31, 2008, the Company’s share of this investment was $26.8 million.
During 2005, the Company made add-on investments in Mervyns totaling $1.3 million. The Company accounts for these add-on investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies.
Albertson’s
During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods, of which the Company’s share was $20.7 million. Through March 31, 2008, the Company had received aggregate cash distributions of $53.7 million from this investment, which was primarily sourced from the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held by Albertson’s. The extraordinary gain of $30.2 million recognized during 2007 represents the Company’s share of the gain reported by Albertson’s, which reflected the excess of fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price in accordance with SFAS No. 141.
During 2007, Company made add-on investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.8 million and received distributions totaling $0.8 million. The Company accounts for these add-on investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies.
Other Investments
During 2006, the Company made investments of $1.1 million in Shopko, a regional multi-department retailer that had 358 stores located throughout the Midwest, Mountain and Pacific Northwest, and $0.7 million in Marsh, a regional supermarket chain operating 271 stores in central Indiana, Illinois and western Ohio, through the RCP Venture. During 2007, the Company received a $1.1 million cash distribution from the Shopko investment representing 100% of its invested capital.
During July of 2007, the RCP Venture acquired a portfolio of 87 retail properties from Rex Stores Corporation, which was comprised of electronic retail stores located in 27 states. The Company’s share of this investment was $2.7 million.
The Company accounts for the two above investments using the cost method due to its minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies.

9. MORTGAGE LOANS
During the first three months of 2008, the Company borrowed $30.1 million on three existing construction loans.
During February 2008, in conjunction with the purchase of a portfolio of properties, the Company assumed loans of $34.9 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.9% and matures on June 11, 2009, and $5.0 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% and matures on December 1, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company closed on a $41.5 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.3% and matures on March 16, 2011.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed $14.2 million on an existing credit facility. This money was repaid during the first quarter.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed $83.0 million on an existing credit facility of which $41.0 million
was repaid during the first quarter.
10. 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 unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
11. F AIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for its financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.
SFAS No. 157’s valuation techniques are based on observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

14


Table of Contents

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, continued
    Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
    Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant value drivers are observable.
 
    Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value:
Notes Receivable —The Company’s notes receivable are valued using Level 3 inputs. Given the short-term nature of the notes and the fact that several of the notes are demand notes, the Company has determined that the carrying value of the notes receivable approximates fair value.
Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial liabilities primarily represent interest rate swaps and a cap and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of March 31, 2008 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models. With the adoption of SFAS No. 157, the Company has amended the techniques used in measuring the fair value of its derivative positions. This enhancement includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivatives measured at fair value. The implementation of this enhancement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Mortgage Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable — The value of the Company’s mortgage and convertible notes payable are valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its mortgage and convertible notes payable through the use of valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on level of inputs at March 31, 2008:

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company earns asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction fees for providing services to an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests in which Klaff has an interest. Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
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, 2008 and 2007.
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds and Other, which primarily consists of management fee 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 finite life of the Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as general partner/member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in consolidation and recognized through a reduction in minority interest expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company previously reported two reportable segments, retail properties and multi-family properties. During December of 2007, the Company sold a residential complex and held its remaining residential complex for sale. Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company sold this last residential complex. Also during 2007, the Company expanded its Opportunity Fund platform with the formation of Fund III. Accordingly, it has realigned its segments to reflect the current business orientation of the Company. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued Restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) and Restricted Partnership Units (“LTIP Units”) to officers and employees. 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 vesting. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common Operating Partnership Units. This distribution is paid on both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common Operating Partnership Units and, ultimately, into Common Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts. Vesting for all Restricted Shares and LTIP Units are subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates.

The vesting on 50% of these awards is also generally subject to achieving certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares or certain annual earnings growth.
Also on January 31, 2008, the Company issued 26,999 Restricted Shares to employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the next four annual anniversaries of the issuance date. The vesting on 25% of these awards is also subject to achieving certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares or certain annual earnings growth.
The total value of the Restricted Shares and LTIP Units issued during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.9 million, of which $1.4 million has been recognized in compensation expense in 2007 and $3.5 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $126,000 has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these Restricted Shares and LTIP Units for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total stock-based compensation expense, including the expense related to the above mentioned plans, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

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 March 31, 2008 and 2007 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, 2007 and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. 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
We currently operate 85 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our core portfolio or within our three opportunity funds. These properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, self-storage and mixed-use properties with a retail component. The properties we operate are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. Our core portfolio consists of 34 properties comprising approximately five million square feet. Fund I has 28 properties comprising approximately 1.5 million square feet. Fund II has ten properties, the majority of which are currently under redevelopment and will have approximately 2.3 million square feet upon completion of redevelopment activities. Fund III has 13 properties totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet. The majority of our operating income derives from the rental revenues from these properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity style, as opposed to real estate, investments. Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
    Own and/or operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers, self-storage and mixed-use properties, located in high barrier-to-entry markets with strong demographic features.
 
    Generate internal growth within the core portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities.
 
    Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions.
 
    Partner with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.
 
    Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. No material changes to our critical accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2007.

Note:
 
(1)   Includes amounts eliminated in consolidation which are adjusted in Minority Interest. Reference is made to Note 13 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of the Company’s three reportable segments.
The increase in minimum rents in the Core Portfolio was attributable to additional rents following our acquisition of 200 West 54th Street and 145 East Service Road (“2007 Core Acquisitions”) of $0.8 million. The increase in rents in the Opportunity Funds primarily relates to additional rents following the acquisition of 125 Main Street and Storage Post Portfolio (“2007/2008 Fund Acquisitions”) of $1.2 million, as well as 216th Street being placed in service October 1, 2007.
Expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased for both common area maintenance (“CAM”) and real estate taxes in 2008. CAM expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased $0.7 as a result of the negative impact of the 2006 year end CAM reconciliation billings and related adjustments completed during the first quarter of 2007. Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.2 million, primarily as a result of the 2007 Core Acquisitions. The increase in expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds relates primarily to higher real estate tax expense in 2008.
Management fee income increased primarily as a result of fees earned from the investment in City Point. This increase was offset by lower fees earned in connection with the Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2007.
The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to additional income related to termination of interest rate swap agreements in 2007.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Core Portfolio was due to the 2007 Core Acquisitions as well as general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the core portfolio. The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was attributable to the 2007/2008 Fund Acquisitions and an adjustment of prior year over estimation of taxes of $0.2 million recorded in 2007.
The increase in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to increased compensation expense of $0.9 million for additional personnel hired in the second half of 2007 and in 2008 as well as increases in existing employee salaries. In addition, there was an increase of $0.7 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Opportunity Fund assets and asset management services. These factors were partially offset by an increase in capitalized construction salaries due to increased redevelopment activities in 2008. The increase in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds primarily related to the Fund III asset management fee of $1.9 million, Promote expense of $1.2 million related to Fund I and Mervyns I as well as Fund III abandoned project costs of $0.3 million in 2008. The decrease in general and administrative in Other/Elimination primarily relates to the elimination of the Fund III asset management fee and the elimination of the Fund I and Mervyns I Promote expense for consolidated financial statement purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Depreciation expense in the Core Portfolio increased $0.4 million in 2008. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense following the 2007 Core Acquisitions. Amortization expense in the Core Portfolio increased $0.1 million due to the amortization of additional tenant installation costs in 2008. Depreciation expense increased $0.4 million in the Opportunity Funds due to the 2007/2008 Fund Acquisitions and 216th Street being placed in service October 1, 2007.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds increased as a result of our pro rata share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations in 2008.
Interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $0.2 million in 2008. This was the result of a $0.1 million decrease attributable to lower average interest rates on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2008 and $0.4 million of costs associated with a loan payoff in 2007. These decreases were offset by a $0.3 million increase resulting from higher average outstanding borrowings in 2008. Interest expense in the Opportunity Fund increased $0.6 million in 2008. This was attributable to an increase of $1.0 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2008 offset by a $0.4 million decrease related to lower average interest rates on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2008.
The minority interest in the Opportunity Funds primarily represents the minority partners’ share of all Opportunity Fund activity and ranges from a 77.8% interest in Opportunity Fund I to an 80.1% interest in Opportunity Fund III. The variance between 2008 and 2007 represents the minority partners’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above. The minority interest in other/Elimination relates to the minority partners’ share of capitalized construction, leasing and legal fees.
The variance in income tax expense in the Core Portfolio primarily relates to income taxes at the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) level for our share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations in 2008.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties held for sale in 2008 and properties sold in 2007.
The extraordinary item in 2007 in the Opportunity Funds relates to our share of the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes and minority interest, from our Albertson’s investment.

Funds from Operations
Consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, we define funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as adjusted to include the extraordinary gain from our RCP investment in Albertson’s. This gain was a result of distributions we received in excess of our invested capital of which the Operating Partnership’s share, net of minority interests and income taxes, amounted to $2.9 million. This gain was characterized as extraordinary in our GAAP financial statements as a result of the nature of the income passed through from Albertson’s. As previously discussed under “Overview” in Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, we believe that income or gains derived from our RCP Venture investments, including our investment in Albertson’s, are private-equity investments and, as such, should be treated as operating income and therefore FFO. The character of this income in our underlying accounting does not impact this conclusion. Accordingly, we believe that this supplemental adjustment to FFO provides useful information to investors because we believe it more appropriately reflects the results of our operations.
We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO and FFO, as adjusted, may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, do not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our joint venture commitments, property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our existing portfolio and (iii) debt service and loan repayments.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $14.1 million.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A, formed Acadia P/A (“Acadia P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the

balance to acquire assets in which Acadia P/A agrees to invest. Operating cash flow is generally to be distributed pro-rata to Fund II and P/A until each has received a 10% cumulative return and then 60% to Fund II and 40% to P/A. Distributions of net refinancing and net sales proceeds, as defined, follow the distribution of operating cash flow except that unpaid original capital is returned before the 60%/40% split between Fund II and P/A, respectively. Upon the liquidation of the last property investment of Acadia P/A, to the extent that Fund II has not received an 18% internal rate of return (“IRR”) on all of its capital contributions, P/A is obligated to return a portion of its previous distributions, as defined, until Fund II has received an 18% IRR.
To date, Fund II has invested in nine New York Urban Infill Redevelopment construction projects, eight of which are in conjunction with P/A, as follows:

During February 2008, Acadia, through Fund III, and in conjunction with an unaffiliated partner, Storage Post (“Storage Post”), acquired a portfolio of eleven self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. The portfolio totals approximately 920,000 net rentable square feet, of which ten properties are operating at various stages of stabilization. The remaining property is currently under construction. The properties are located throughout New York and New Jersey. The portfolio continues to be operated by Storage Post, which is an equity partner.

Other Investments
During April 2008, the Company acquired a single-tenant retail property located in midtown Manhattan for $9.2 million. The 20,000 square foot property is located on 17th Street near 5th Avenue. This addition to Acadia’s core portfolio successfully completed a tax deferred exchange in connection with the fourth quarter 2007 sale of a residential complex located in Columbia, Missouri.
Share Repurchase
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. The repurchase of our Common Shares was not a use of our liquidity during 2007. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II and Fund III, as well as new funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting and RCP Venture investments are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) unrelated member capital contributions and (v) future sales of existing properties. As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $160.4 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $95.9 million.
Financing and Debt
At March 31, 2008, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $665.1 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.9 million, and were collateralized by 59 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 3.75% to 8.5% with maturities that ranged from October 2008 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $34.0 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $493.3 million of the portfolio, or 74.2%, was fixed at a 4.87% weighted average interest rate and $171.8 million, or 25.8% was floating at a 4.18% weighted average interest rate. There is $21.7 million and $164.4 million of debt scheduled to mature in 2008 and 2009, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 5.69% for 2008 and 4.49% for 2009. As we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes our financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2007:
During the first three months of 2008, the Company borrowed $30.1 million on three existing construction loans.
During February 2008, in conjunction with the purchase of a portfolio of properties, the Company assumed loans of $34.9 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.9% and matures on June 11, 2009, and $5.0 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% and matures on December 1, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company closed on a $41.5 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.3% and matures on March 16, 2011.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed and repaid $14.2 million on an existing credit facility.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed $83.0 million on an existing credit facility. $41.0 million of this was repaid during the first quarter.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At March 31, 2008, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from September 2008 to November 2032. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at seven of our shopping centers. We also lease space for our White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2015. The following table summarizes our debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2008:

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

Total
  $ 73.1                  
 
                     
In addition, we have arranged for the provision of eight separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of March 31, 2008, there were no outstanding balances under any of these letters of credit. If these letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $13.9 million.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following table compares the historical cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (“2008”) with the cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (“2007”)

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2008 versus 2007 are as follows:
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from a decrease of $22.1 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2008, which was primarily due to the decrease of $23.4 million in distributions (primarily Albertson’s) of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, a net decrease in cash of $38.7 million resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily other assets, reflecting additional investments in 2008 as well as the repayment of notes from our tax deferred exchange transactions in 2007.

Table of Contents

The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $87.6 million of additional expenditures for real estate, development and tenant installations in 2008, $20.8 million of additional return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates (primarily Albertson’s) in 2007, and $5.6 million of additional collections of notes receivable in 2007. These net increases were offset by $1.4 million of additional notes receivable originated in 2007.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from an additional $136.0 million of borrowings in 2008, an additional $43.8 million of contributions from partners and members and minority interests in partially-owned affiliates in 2008 and a decrease of $34.9 million of distributions to partners and members in 2008. These increases were offset by an additional $18.0 million used for the repayment of debt in 2008, $15.0 million of additional cash received from the issuance of convertible debt in 2007 and an increase of $7.6 million of dividends paid to common shareholders in 2008.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2 for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of March 31, 2008, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $665.1 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.9 million, of which $493.3 million or 74%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $171.8 million, or 26%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2008, we were a party to four interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $34.3 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
Of our total consolidated and pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt, $23.4 million and $164.4 million will become due in 2008 and 2009, 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 $1.9 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable-debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2008 would increase by $1.7 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s 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, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
