PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

GENERAL

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). All references to “Acadia,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” refer to Acadia Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity 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. We currently operate 79 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in. These assets are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States and, in total, comprise approximately eight million square feet. We also have private equity investments in other retail real estate related opportunities including investments for which we provide operational support to the operating ventures in which we have a minority equity interest.

All of our investments are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2009, 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 generally represent entities or individuals, which contributed their interests in certain assets or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”, respectively, and collectively, “OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

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 (as defined in Item 2 of this Form 10-K) of community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street retail located in markets with strong demographics and generate internal growth within the Core Portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and/or leasing activities.

 

 

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

 

 

Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions. These transactions may include other types of commercial real estate besides those which we invest in through our Core Portfolio. These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.

Investment Strategy — External Growth through Opportunistic Acquisition Platforms

The requirements that acquisitions be accretive on a long-term basis based on our cost of capital, as well as increase the overall portfolio quality and value, are core to our acquisition program. As such, we constantly evaluate the blended cost of equity and debt and adjust the amount of acquisition activity to align the level of investment activity with capital flows. We may also engage in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. In addition to our direct investments in real estate assets, we have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing discretionary opportunity funds in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest and carried interest (“Promote”), fees and priority distributions for our services. To date, we have launched three opportunity funds (“Opportunity Funds”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”). Due to the level of our control, we consolidate these Opportunity Funds for financial reporting purposes.

Fund I

During September of 2001, we and four of our institutional shareholders formed Fund I, and during August of 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), whereby the investors committed $70.0 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. The Operating Partnership committed an additional $20.0 million in the aggregate to Fund I and Mervyns I, as the general partner or managing member with a 22.2% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on its invested equity, the Operating Partnership is entitled to a Promote based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow was distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) until a 9% cumulative return was achieved (“Preferred Return”) on, and a return of all capital contributions.

4


During 2006, the Fund I investors received a return of all of their capital invested in Fund I and their unpaid preferred. Accordingly, all cash flow is now distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. The Operating Partnership also earns fees and/or priority distributions for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the allocated invested equity, as well as for property management, leasing, legal and construction services. All such fees and priority distributions are reflected as a reduction in the noncontrolling interest share in income from Opportunity Funds in the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K.

Our acquisition program was executed primarily through Fund I through June 2004. Fund I focused on targeting assets for acquisition that had superior in-fill locations, restricted competition due to high barriers to entry and in-place below-market anchor leases with the potential to create significant additional value through re-tenanting, timely capital improvements and property redevelopment.

As of December 31, 2009, there were 21 assets comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet remaining in Fund I in which the Operating Partnership’s interest in cash flow and income is 37.8% as a result of the Promote.

Fund II

Following our success with Fund I, during June of 2004 we formed a second, larger Opportunity Fund, Fund II, and during August of 2004, formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors, whereby the investors, including the Operating Partnership, committed capital totaling $300.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in Fund II and Mervyns II and can invest the committed equity on a discretionary basis within the parameters defined in the Fund II and Mervyns II operating agreements. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of December 31, 2009, $223.3 million of Fund II’s and Mervyns II’s capital was invested and the balance of $76.7 million is expected to be utilized to complete development activities for existing Fund II investments.

Given the market conditions for commercial real estate at the time Fund II was formed, we channeled our acquisition efforts through Fund II in two opportunistic strategies described below – the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the Retailer Controlled Property Venture.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

During September of 2004, through Fund II, we launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative. Despite the current economy, we believe that retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, and we capitalized on this situation by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail or mixed-use real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agreed to invest. See Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further information on the Acadia-P/A Joint Venture as detailed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources – New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative”. To date, Fund II has invested in nine projects, eight of which are in conjunction with P/A, as discussed further in “—PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS– New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative” below in this Item 1.

Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”)

On January 27, 2004, through Funds I and II, we entered into an association, known as the RCP Venture, with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial expected size of the RCP Venture is approximately $300.0 million in equity, of which our share is $60.0 million. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. We would consider expanding the size of the RCP Venture and our share thereof based on investment opportunities. 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 us. Affiliates of Mervyns I and II and Fund II have invested $60.8 million in the RCP Venture to date on a non-recourse basis. While we are not required to invest any additional capital into any of these investments, should additional capital be required and we elect not to contribute our share, our proportionate share in the investment will be reduced. Cash flow from any RCP Venture investments 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 (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). The Operating Partnership may also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture. While we are primarily a passive partner in the investments made through the RCP Venture, historically we have provided our support in reviewing potential acquisitions and operating and redevelopment assistance in areas where we have both a presence and expertise. We seek to invest opportunistically with the RCP Venture primarily in any of the following four ways:

5



 

 

Invest in operating retailers to control their real estate through private equity joint ventures

 

 

Work with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate

 

 

Acquire properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy

 

 

Complete sale leasebacks with retailers in need of capital

During 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of Mervyns. From 2006 through 2009, we made additional investments as further discussed in “—PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS – RCP Venture” below in this Item 1.

Fund III

Following the success of Fund I and the full commitment of Fund II, Fund III was formed during 2007, with fourteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II, whereby the investors, including the Operating Partnership, committed capital totaling $503.0 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of the committed capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 19.9% interest in Fund III and can invest the committed equity on a discretionary basis within the parameters defined in the Fund III operating agreements. The terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as the previous Funds with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of December 31, 2009, $96.5 million of Fund III’s capital was invested. To date, Fund III has invested in 14 projects as discussed further in “—PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” below in this Item 1.

Notes Receivable, Preferred Equity and Other Real Estate Related Investments

We may also invest in mortgage loans, preferred equity investments, other real estate interests and other investments. As of December 31, 2009, our notes receivable and preferred equity investments aggregated $125.2 million, and were collateralized by either the properties (either first or second mortgage liens) or the borrower’s ownership interest in the properties. In addition, certain notes receivable are personally guaranteed by principals of the borrowers. Interest rates on our notes receivable, mezzanine loan investments and preferred equity investment, ranged from 10% to 22.4% with maturities that range from demand notes to January 2017.

Capital Strategy — Balance Sheet Focus and Access to Capital

Given the significant turmoil in the capital markets and the current post recessionary period, our primary capital objective is to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices, including moderate leverage levels, while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth. We intend to continue financing acquisitions and property redevelopment with sources of capital determined by management to be the most appropriate based on, among other factors, availability in the current capital markets, pricing and other commercial and financial terms. The sources of capital may include the issuance of public equity, unsecured debt, mortgage and construction loans, and other capital alternatives including the issuance of OP Units. We manage our interest rate risk primarily through the use of fixed rate-debt and, where we use variable rate debt, we use certain derivative instruments, including London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap agreements and interest rate caps as discussed further in Item 7A of this Form 10-K.

During April 2009, we issued 5.75 million Common Shares and generated net proceeds of approximately $65.0 million. The proceeds were primarily used to purchase a portion of our outstanding convertible notes payable and pay down existing lines of credit.

During December of 2006 and January of 2007, we issued $115.0 million of 3.75% unsecured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of the terms and conditions of the Notes. The $112.1 million in proceeds, net of related costs, were used to retire variable rate debt, provide for future Opportunity Fund capital commitments and for general working capital purposes. During 2008, we purchased $8.0 million in principal amount of the Notes and purchased an additional $57.0 million in principal amount during 2009, all at an average discount of approximately 19%.

Operating Strategy — Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record

Our senior management team has decades of experience in the real estate industry. We believe our management team has demonstrated the ability to create value internally through anchor recycling, property redevelopment and strategic non-core dispositions. We have capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing joint ventures, such as the Opportunity Funds, in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest and Promote, fees and priority distributions. In connection with these joint ventures we have launched several successful acquisition platforms including our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and RCP Venture.

Operating functions such as leasing, property management, construction, finance and legal (collectively, the “Operating Departments”) are generally provided by our personnel, providing for fully integrated property management and development. By incorporating the Operating Departments in the acquisition process, acquisitions are appropriately priced giving effect to each asset’s specific risks and returns. Also, because of the Operating Departments involvement with, and corresponding understanding of, the acquisition process, transition time is minimized and management can immediately execute on its strategic plan for each asset.

6


We typically hold our Core Portfolio properties for long-term investment. As such, we continuously review the existing portfolio and implement programs to renovate and modernize targeted centers to enhance the property’s market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow and consequently property value. We also periodically identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital to existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. Our Core Portfolio consists primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers, which are generally dominant centers in high barrier-to-entry markets and are principally anchored by supermarkets and necessity-based retailers. We believe these attributes enable our properties to better withstand the current post recessionary period.

During 2009, 2008 and 2007 we sold three non-core properties and redeployed capital to acquire three retail properties as further discussed in “—ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” below in this Item 1.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

RCP Venture

Albertson’s

In June 2006, the RCP Venture, as part of an investment consortium, participated in the acquisition of 699 stores from Albertson’s and 26 Cub Food stores. Mervyns II’s share of equity invested totaled $20.7 million. The Operating Partnership’s share was $4.2 million.

During February of 2007, Mervyns II received cash distributions totaling approximately $44.4 million from its ownership position in Albertson’s. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution amounted to approximately $8.9 million. Mervyns II received additional distributions from this investment totaling $8.8 million in 2007, $10.6 million in 2008, and $2.0 million in 2009. The Operating Partnership’s share of these distributions aggregated $4.3 million.

Through December 31, 2009, Mervyns II has made additional add-on investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $1.2 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of these combined amounts was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Mervyns Department Stores

In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment. Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, we invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department Store chain (“Mervyns”) consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. To date, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio. In addition, in November 2007, we sold our interest in OPCO and, as a result, have no further investment in OPCO. During 2008 and 2007, Mervyns I and Mervyns II made additional investments in Mervyns totaling $2.9 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of the total investment in Mervyns was $4.9 million.

Through December 31, 2009, Mervyns I and Mervyns II have also made add-on investments in Mervyns properties totaling $5.1 million including $1.7 million in 2009. The Operating Partnerships share of this amount was $0.8 million.

During 2005, Mervyns made a distribution to the investors from the proceeds from the sale of a portion of the portfolio and the refinancing of existing debt, of which a total of $42.7 million was distributed to Mervyns I and Mervyns II. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution amounted to $10.2 million. Subsequently, Mervyns and Mervyns add-ons distributed additional cash totaling $5.0 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution totaled $1.4 million.

Other RCP Venture Investments

During 2006, Fund II invested $1.1 million in Shopko and $0.7 million in Marsh. The Operating Partnership’s share of these investment totaled $0.3 million. Fund II received a $1.1 million distribution from the Shopko investment during 2007 and a $1.0 million distribution from the Marsh investment during 2008, of which the Operating Partnership’s share totaled $0.4 million. During 2008, Fund II made additional investments of $2.0 million in Marsh. The Operating Partnership’s share was $0.4 million. During 2009, Fund II received additional distributions of $1.6 million from Marsh, of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $0.3 million.

During 2007, Mervyns II invested $2.7 million in REX Stores Corporation. The Operating Partnership’s share was $0.5 million. During 2009, Fund II received a distribution of $0.4 million from REX, of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $0.1 million.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

As of December 31, 2009, we had ten New York Urban/Infill projects. Construction is substantially complete at six of the projects, one is under construction and three are in the design phase as follows:

Construction Substantially Complete

Fordham Place — During September of 2004, Acadia-P/A purchased 400 East Fordham Road, Bronx, New York. Construction of a 119,000 square foot retail component and 157,000 square foot office tower are complete. The retail component is 100% occupied and the office component is 34% occupied. The total cost of the project to Acadia-P/A was approximately $130.0 million.

Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza — During October of 2004, Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year, inclusive of extension options, ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. We demolished the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and completed construction of a 229,000 square foot community retail center and a 90,000 square foot self-storage facility at a total cost of approximately $62.0 million. Home Depot was originally slated to anchor the project, but announced its decision to curtail plans for expansion. As part of our lease termination agreement with Home Depot, we purchased the building that Home Depot had constructed on the site for $10 million, representing approximately half of their cost of construction. The retail center is currently 74% occupied and anchored by a BJ’s Wholesale Club.

216th Street — During December of 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired a parking garage located at 10th Avenue and 216th Street in the Inwood section of Manhattan. During 2007, we completed the construction of a 60,000 square foot office building and we relocated an agency of the City of New York, which was a tenant at another of our Urban/Infill Redevelopment projects, to this location. The total cost to Acadia-P/A for the project, which also includes a 100-space rooftop parking deck, were approximately $28.0 million.

Liberty Avenue — During December of 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired the remaining 40-year term of a leasehold interest in land located at Liberty Avenue and 98th Street in Ozone Park (Queens), New York. The property is currently operating and includes approximately 30,000 square feet of retail anchored by a CVS drug store and a 98,500 square foot self-storage facility. The total cost to Acadia-P/A of the redevelopment was approximately $15.0 million.

161st Street - During August of 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased 244-268 161st Street located in the Bronx, New York for $49.3 million. The redevelopment plan for this currently 99% leased and 84% occupied, 10-story office building, is to recapture and convert street level office space into retail. Additional redevelopment costs to Acadia-P/A are anticipated to be approximately $16.0 million.

Atlantic Avenue – During May of 2007, we, through Fund II and in partnership with Post Management, LLC (“Storage Post”), acquired a property on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Storage Post is our unaffiliated partner in our self-storage portfolio (see below) and at two of our other New York urban projects with a self-storage component. During 2009, we completed construction of the 110,000 square feet, six-story storage facility and commenced operations. The total cost of the project was approximately $23.0 million.

Under Construction

Canarsie - During October of 2007, Acadia-P/A acquired a 530,000 square foot warehouse building in Canarsie, Brooklyn for approximately $21.0 million. The development plan for this property includes the demolition of a portion of the warehouse and the construction of a 265,000 square foot mixed-use project consisting of retail and office. The total cost of the redevelopment, including acquisition costs, is expected to be approximately $77.0 million. We had executed a lease with Home Depot to anchor the project. However, during 2008, Home Depot terminated their lease and paid us a fee of $24.5 million. The project is currently under construction and 80% pre-leased to BJ’s Wholesale Club and the New York City Police Department.

In Design

Sherman Plaza - During April of 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired 4650 Broadway located in the Washington Heights/Inwood section of Manhattan. The property, which was occupied by an agency of the City of New York (“NYC”) and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for a purchase price of $25.0 million. During 2007 we relocated NYC to Acadia-P/A’s 216th St. redevelopment as discussed above. We are currently reviewing various alternatives to redevelop the site to include retail and office components.

CityPoint - During June of 2007, Acadia-P/A and an unaffiliated joint venture partner purchased the leasehold interests in The Gallery at Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn for approximately $115.0 million, with an option to purchase the fee position, which is owned by the City of New York, at a later date. Redevelopment plans for the property, renamed “CityPoint”, include the demolition of the existing structure (completed) and the development of a 1.3 million square foot project to include retail and residential components. Acadia-P/A will participate in the development of the retail component. Acadia-P/A does not plan on participating in the development of, or have an ownership interest in, the residential component of the project. The current plan calls for the commencement during 2010 of the first of four phases of redevelopment which is expected to include between 40,000 and 50,000 square feet of retail space on five levels. Development of the balance of the project, including the residential component, is expected to occur over multiple years. The project has been conditionally awarded $20.0 million of federal stimulus bond financing to fund construction of the first phase. Please refer to the discussion under the heading “Off Balance Sheet Arrangments” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of $26.0 million of debt on this property that will mature in August 2010 and potential additional capital requirements Fund II may have if our unaffiliated joint venture partner determines not to fund its requisite share of capital.

Sheepshead Bay - During November of 2007, Fund III acquired a property in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn for approximately $20.0 million. The project is currently in the design phase and we have demolished one of two buildings on the existing site and expect to develop a multi-story retail center with approximately 240,000 square feet of gross leasable area.

Self-Storage Portfolio

On February 29, 2008, Fund III, in conjunction with Storage Post, acquired a portfolio of eleven self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. In addition, we, through Fund II, developed three self-storage properties as discussed above. The fourteen self-storage property portfolio, located throughout New York and New Jersey, totals approximately 1,127,000 net rentable square feet, and is operating at various stages of stabilization.

Other Investments

In addition to the RCP Venture, the New York Urban/Infill and Self-Storage Portfolio investments as discussed above, through Fund III, we have also acquired the following:

During January 2009, we purchased Cortlandt Towne Center for $78.0 million. The operating property is a 642,000 square foot shopping center located in Westchester County, New York.

During November 2007, we acquired 125 Main Street, Westport, Connecticut for approximately $17.0 million. Our plan is to redevelop the existing building into 30,000 square feet of retail and office space.

Core Portfolio

See Item 2. PROPERTIES for the definition of our Core Portfolio.

During April of 2008, the Operating Partnership acquired a 20,000 square foot single tenant retail property located on 17th Street near 5th Avenue in Manhattan, New York for $9.7 million.

During March of 2007, the Operating Partnership purchased a 52,000 square foot single-tenant building located at 1545 East Service Road in Staten Island, New York for $17.0 million and a 10,000 square foot retail commercial condominium at 200 West 54th Street located in Manhattan, New York for $36.4 million.

Preferred Equity, Notes Receivable and Other Real Estate Related Investments

During December 2009, the Operating Partnership made a loan for $8.6 million which bears interest at 14.5% with a one year term and one six month extension.

During June 2008, the Operating Partnership made a $40.0 million preferred equity investment in a portfolio of 18 properties located primarily in Georgetown, Washington D.C. The portfolio consists of 306,000 square feet of principally retail space.

During July 2008, the Operating Partnership made a $34.0 million mezzanine loan, which is collateralized by a mixed-use retail and residential development at 72 nd Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

During September 2008, Fund III made a $10.0 million first mortgage loan, which is collateralized by land located on Long Island, New York.

On February 2, 2009, The Kroger Co. purchased the fee at six locations in Fund I’s Kroger/Safeway Portfolio for $14.6 million, resulting in a $5.6 million gain. The Operating Partnership’s share of the gain was $1.6 million.

During April 2008, Fund I sold Haygood Shopping Center located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for $24.9 million, resulting in a $6.8 million gain. The Operating Partnership’s share of the gain was $1.3 million.

During November 2007, Fund I sold Amherst Marketplace and Sheffield Crossing, community shopping centers in Ohio, for $26.0 million, resulting in a $7.5 million gain. The Operating Partnership’s share of the gain was $2.8 million.

PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION

Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers within our Core Portfolio and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

For information relating to environmental laws that may have an impact on our business, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors-- Possible liability relating to environmental matters.”

COMPETITION

There are numerous entities that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants that will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REIT’s, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. Our properties compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy costs (including base rent and operating expenses) and the design and condition of the improvements.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS

We have five reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Self-Storage Portfolio, Notes Receivable and Other. Notes Receivable consists of the Company’s notes receivable and preferred equity investments and related interest income, Other primarily consists of management fees and interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K. We evaluate property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in our Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of our Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by us as general partner/member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K for information regarding, among other things, revenues from external customers, a measure of profit and loss and total assets with respect to each of our segments.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed in the beginning of this Form 10-K.

We rely on revenues derived from major tenants.

We derive significant revenues from certain anchor tenants that occupy space in more than one center. We could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants, or in the event that any such tenant does not renew its leases as they expire or renews at lower rental rates. Vacated anchor space not only would reduce rental revenues if not re-tenanted at the same rental rates but also could adversely affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s customer drawing power. Loss of customer drawing power also can occur through the exercise of the right that most anchors have to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease term, or the departure of a “shadow” anchor tenant that owns its own property. In addition, in the event that certain major tenants cease to occupy a property, such an action may result in a significant number of other tenants having the right to terminate their leases, or pay a reduced rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the future income from such property. See “Item 2. Properties—Major Tenants” for quantified information with respect the percentage of our minimum rents received from major tenants.

We may not be able to renew current leases and the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms.

Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in our properties, we may not be able to re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. If we are unable to re-let promptly all or a substantial portion of the space located in our properties or if the rental rates we receive upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our net income and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders will be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in rent receipts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of their leases. See “Item 2. Properties – Lease Expirations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to the scheduled lease expirations in our portfolio.

12


The current economic environment, while improving, may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or finance our current redevelopment projects.

Our operations and performance depend on general economic conditions. The U.S. economy has recently experienced a financial downturn, with consumer spending on the decline, credit tightening and unemployment rising. Many financial and economic analysts are predicting that the world economy has entered a prolonged economic downturn characterized by high unemployment, limited availability of credit and decreased consumer and business spending. This economic downturn has and may continue to adversely affect the businesses of many of our tenants. We and the Opportunity Funds may experience higher vacancy rates as well as delays in re-leasing vacant space.

The current downturn has had, and may continue to have, an unprecedented impact on the global credit markets. In general, credit is currently difficult to obtain. While we currently believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain mortgage loans to purchase additional properties, obtain financing to complete current redevelopment projects, or successfully refinance our properties as loans become due. To the extent that the availability of credit continues to be limited, it will also adversely impact our preferred equity and mezzanine investments as counterparties may not be able to obtain the financing required to repay the loans upon maturity.

The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants or a significant number of our smaller tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values.

The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants causing them to reject their leases, or not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates may adversely affect our cash flows and property values. Furthermore, the impact of vacated anchor space and the potential reduction in customer traffic may adversely impact the balance of tenants at the center.

Certain of our tenants have experienced financial difficulties and have filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”). Pursuant to bankruptcy law, tenants have the right to reject their leases. In the event the tenant exercises this right, the landlord generally has the right to file a claim for lost rent equal to the greater of either one year’s rent (including tenant expense reimbursements) for remaining terms greater than one year, or 15% of the rent remaining under the balance of the lease term, but not to exceed three years rent. Actual amounts to be received in satisfaction of those claims will be subject to the tenant’s final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.

Since January 1, 2007, there have been two significant tenant bankruptcies within our portfolio:

On December 11, 2008, KB Toys (“KB”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operated in two locations in our Core Portfolio, totaling approximately 12,000 square feet. Rental revenues from KB at these locations totaled $0.03 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Both leases were rejected by KB in February 2009.

On November 10, 2008, Circuit City Stores Inc. (“Circuit City”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Circuit City operated at two of our Core Portfolio locations totaling approximately 59,278 square feet. Rental revenues from Circuit City at these locations totaled $0.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively. Circuit City has rejected both leases. In addition, Circuit City executed a lease at a property owned by Acadia-P/A Holding Company. Circuit City has rejected that lease. On January 16, 2009, Circuit City sought Bankruptcy Court approval to liquidate its assets.

13


There are risks relating to investments in real estate.

Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate values are affected by a number of factors, including: changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control variable operating costs. Shopping centers, in particular, may be affected by changing perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center and by the overall climate for the retail industry generally. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as government regulations, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning, tax and other laws. A significant portion of our income is derived from rental income from real property. Our income and cash flow would be adversely affected if a significant number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations, or if we were unable to lease on economically favorable terms a significant amount of space in our properties. In the event of default by a tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing, and incur substantial costs to enforce, our rights as a landlord. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.

Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.

Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions will be limited. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. We could change our investment, disposition and financing policies without a vote of our shareholders.

We could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. Neither our Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our Board of Trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions.

Our loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.

Interest expense on our variable debt as of December 31, 2009 would increase by $3.4 million annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. 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.

We enter into interest-rate hedging transactions, including interest rate swaps and cap agreements, with counterparties. There can be no guarantee that the financial condition of these counterparties will enable them to fulfill their obligations under these agreements.

Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties and to attract and retain tenants.

There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources than we have that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REIT’s, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that we wish to purchase. In addition, retailers at our properties face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, Internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents payable to us; (ii) reduce our ability to attract and retain tenants at our properties; and (iii) lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties.

We could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where properties are geographically concentrated.

Our performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which our properties are concentrated. We have significant exposure to the greater New York region, from which we derive 36% of the annual base rents within our Core Portfolio. Our operating results could be adversely affected if market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this area become more competitive relative to other geographic areas.

14


We have pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities, which may result in significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources.

We have pursued extensive growth opportunities. This expansion has placed significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of our real estate portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on our resources. Our future performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified management personnel to manage the growth and operations of our business and to finance such acquisitions. In addition, acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the numerous factors that may affect the value of real estate. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to identify and manage acquired properties or otherwise be able to maintain our historic rate of growth.

Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our earnings growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties, including acquisitions through co-investment programs such as our Opportunity Funds. In the context of our business plan, “redevelopment” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of our extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement our strategy because we may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing.

Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or uncontrollable events that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.

A component of our growth strategy is through private-equity type investments made through our RCP Venture. These include investments in operating retailers. The inability of the retailers to operate profitably would have an adverse impact on income realized from these investments.

We operate through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our assets.

Our primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which we are the general partner. Our acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating Partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although we, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally have no obligation to consider the tax consequences of our actions to any limited partner, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will not acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute such properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage our assets.

Limited control over joint venture investments.

Under the terms of our Fund III joint venture, which is similar to the terms of Fund I and Fund II, we are required to first offer to Fund III all of our opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. We may only pursue opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers directly if (i) our joint venture partner elects not to approve Fund III’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity; (ii) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Fund III would create a material conflict of interest for us; (iii) we require the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; or (iv) the consideration payable for the acquisition opportunity is our Common Shares, OP Units or other securities. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly and may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Fund III.

Our joint venture investments, including our Opportunity Fund investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our joint venture partner might have different interests or goals than we do. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor a joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures. Please refer to the discussion under the heading “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of $26.0 million of debt on the CityPoint property that will mature in August 2010 and potential additional capital requirements Fund II may have if our unaffiliated joint venture partner determines not to fund its requisite share of capital.

Through our investments in joint ventures we have also invested in operating businesses that have operational risk in addition to the risks associated with real estate investments, including among other risks, human capital issues, adequate supply of product and material, and merchandising issues.

During 2009, 2008 and 2007, our Fund I and Mervyns I joint ventures provided Promote income. There can be no assurance that the joint ventures will continue to operate profitably and thus provide additional Promote income in the future.

Market factors could have an adverse effect on our share price.

One of the factors that may influence the trading price of our Common Shares is the annual dividend rate on our Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. A decline in our share price, as a result of this or other market factors, could unfavorably impact our ability to raise additional equity in the public markets.

The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on us.

Our success depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have obtained key-man life insurance for Mr. Bernstein. In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bernstein; however, it could be terminated by Mr. Bernstein. We have not entered into employment agreements with other key executive level employees.

Possible liability relating to environmental matters.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under our property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). These laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those substances. This liability may be imposed on us in connection with the activities of an operator of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and our liability therefore could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce our revenues and ability to make distributions.

A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although our tenants are primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease.

From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, and prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as required by our financing sources, we authorize the preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to our properties. Based upon these environmental reports and our ongoing review of our properties, we are currently not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that the environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at our properties or that the following will not expose us to material liability in the future:

 

 

 

 

The discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions;

 

 

 

 

Changes in law;

 

 

 

 

Activities of tenants; and

 

 

 

 

Activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties.

Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial condition.

We carry comprehensive general liability, fire, extended coverage, loss of rent insurance, and environmental liability on most of our properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain loss of rent insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or acts of God that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types would adversely affect our financial condition.

Our Board of Trustees may change our investment policy without shareholder approval.

Our Board of Trustees will determine our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. Although our Board of Trustees has no present intention to revise or amend our strategies and policies, it may do so at any time without a vote by our shareholders. Accordingly, our shareholders’ control over changes in our strategies and policies is limited to the election of trustees, and changes made by our Board of Trustees may not serve the interests of all of our shareholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT.

Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our operating flexibility.

To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income for each calendar year. Pursuant to recent IRS pronouncements, up to 90% of such distribution may be made in Common Shares rather than cash. Our taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year; (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and; (iii) 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to minimize exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining our income as well as required debt amortization payments and the capitalization of certain expenses could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. The distribution requirements also severely limit our ability to retain earnings to acquire and improve properties or retire outstanding debt.

There can be no assurance we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We believe that we have consistently met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Internal Revenue Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REIT’s differ significantly from those applicable to other corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control can potentially affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or adversely affect the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. Under current law, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. We also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be significantly reduced for each year in which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make distributions. Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us, without the consent of our shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification.

Limits on ownership of our capital shares.

For the Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of our capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year after 1993, and such capital shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year). Our Declaration of Trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of our capital shares and ownership limits that are intended to assist us in satisfying these limitations. These restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases, however, to prevent the transfer of our capital shares in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us.

Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in excess of the share ownership limits contained in our Declaration of Trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be null and void from the beginning and subject to purchase by us at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the price stipulated in the challenged transaction; and (ii) the fair market value of such shares (determined in accordance with the rules set forth in our Declaration of Trust). As a result, if a violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.

17


Concentration of ownership by certain investors.

Six institutional shareholders own 5% or more individually, and 48.8% in the aggregate, of our Common Shares. A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor or a group of investors to exert a greater influence over our management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.

Restrictions on a potential change of control.

Our Board of Trustees is authorized by our Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. We have not established any series of preferred shares. However, the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could make more difficult a change of control of us that could be in the best interest of the shareholders.

In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and severance agreements are in place with our senior vice presidents which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us and either the termination of their employment without cause (as defined) or their resignation for good reason (as defined), those executive officers would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years’ average bonuses, paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change of control of us that could be in our best interest.

Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.

There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of a company’s failing to continue to qualify as a REIT. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REIT’s or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended or modified. Any new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our shareholders. Reduced tax rates applicable to certain corporate dividends paid to most domestic noncorporate shareholders are not generally available to REIT shareholders since a REIT’s income generally is not subject to corporate level tax. As a result, investment in non-REIT corporations may be viewed as relatively more attractive than investment in REIT’s by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES

The discussion and tables in this Item 2 include properties held through our Core Portfolio and our Opportunity Funds. We define our Core Portfolio as those properties either 100% owned by, or partially owned through joint venture interests by, the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. The discussion of the Opportunity Funds does not include our investment in a portfolio of self-storage properties, which are detailed separately within this Item 2.

As of December 31, 2009, excluding two properties under redevelopment, there are 32 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 4.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Adjusting for our pro-rata ownership share of partially-owned centers, we own approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA. The Core Portfolio properties are located in 12 states and are generally well-established community and neighborhood shopping centers anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail. The properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 10,000 to 875,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2009, our Core Portfolio was 92.9% occupied and 92.6% on a pro-rata ownership basis.

As of December 31, 2009, we owned and operated 26 properties totaling 2.1 million square feet of GLA, excluding properties under redevelopment, in our Opportunity Funds. In addition to shopping centers, the Opportunity Funds’ have invested in mixed-use properties, which generally include retail activities, and self-storage properties. The Opportunity Fund properties are located in 15 states. As of December 31, 2009, the properties owned by our Opportunity Funds were, in total, 86.8% occupied.

Within our Core Portfolio and Opportunity Funds, we had approximately 500 leases as of December 31, 2009. A majority of our rental revenues were from national tenants. A majority of the income from the properties consists of rent received under long-term leases. These leases generally provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of a pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Minimum rents and expense reimbursements accounted for approximately 80% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, approximately 34% of our existing leases also provided for the payment of percentage rents either in addition to, or in place of, minimum rents. These arrangements generally provide for payment to us of a certain percentage of a tenant’s gross sales in excess of a stipulated annual amount. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 0.3% of the total 2009 revenues of the Company.

Four of our Core Portfolio properties and two of our Opportunity Fund properties are subject to long-term ground leases in which a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. We pay rent for the use of the land at and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all six locations.

No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Reference is made to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K, for information on the mortgage debt pertaining to our properties. The following sets forth more specific information with respect to each of our shopping centers at December 31, 2009:

KROGER/SAFEWAY PORTFOLIO

At December 31, 2009, Fund I, together with an unaffiliated joint venture partner (“Kroger/Safeway JV”), owns interests, through two master leases with an unaffiliated entity (“Master Lessee”), in 18 triple-net Kroger and Safeway supermarket leases (“Operating Leases”) aggregating approximately 0.7 million square feet. There are six Kroger and twelve Safeway locations in eleven states averaging approximately 39,000 square feet at rents ranging from approximately $3.90 to $7.00 per square foot. The master leases expire in 2011 with the Master Lessee having the option of extending the term of either or both of the master leases. The Kroger/Safeway JV acquired its interest subject to long-term ground leases, which have a term in excess of 80 years inclusive of multiple renewal options. Although there is no obligation for the Kroger/Safeway JV to pay ground rent during the initial term of the master lease, to the extent it exercises an option to renew a ground lease for a property thereafter, it will be obligated to pay an average ground rent of approximately $2.00 per square foot.

The Kroger Co. purchased six locations comprising 277,700 square feet, or 28% of the portfolio, during February of 2009 for $14.6 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.6 million.

The initial Operating Leases expired during 2009. Options on these leases provide for extensions through 2049 at an average rent of approximately $5.00 per square foot upon the commencement of the initial option period during 2009. All of the remaining locations

27


exercised their extension options during 2009.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are involved in other various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with any certainty the amounts involved, management is of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, our resulting net liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2008, we, and certain of our subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyn’s LLC (“Mervyns”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This lawsuit involves five claims alleging fraudulent transfers. The first claim is that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation to a consortium of investors including Acadia, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. We believe this aspect of the case is without merit. There are four other claims relating to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times. We believe there are substantial defenses to these claims. The matter is in the early stages of discovery and we believe the lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or consolidated financial condition.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the fourth quarter of 2009.

At March 1, 2010, there were 326 holders of record of our Common Shares.

We have determined for income tax purposes that the composition of dividends for 2009 are as follows. 95% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders represented ordinary income, 4% represented unrecaptured Section 1250 gain and 1% represented Section 1231 gain. The dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was paid on February 1, 2010 and will be taxable in 2010. Our cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, our operating expenses, the interest expense on our borrowings, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated capital expenditures. Future dividends paid by us will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flows, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant. In addition, we have the ability to pay dividends in cash, Common Shares or in any combination of cash (minimum 10%) and Common Shares (maximum 90%).

(b) Issuer purchases of equity securities

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. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

(d) Share Price Performance Graph (1)

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return for our Common Shares for the period commencing December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2009 with the cumulative total return on the Russell 2000 Index (“Russell 2000”), the NAREIT All Equity REIT Index (the “NAREIT”) and the SNL Shopping Center REITs (the “SNL”) over the same period. Total return values for the Russell 2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and the Common Shares were calculated based upon cumulative total return assuming the investment of $100.00 in each of the Russell 2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and our Common Shares on December 31, 2004, and assuming reinvestment of dividends. The shareholder return as set forth in the table below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Notes:

 

 

(1)

The extraordinary item only relates to 2007 and represents the Company’s share of an extraordinary gain from its private-equity investment in Albertson’s. The Company considers its private-equity investments to be investments in operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from private-equity investments are included in FFO, which management believes provides a more accurate reflection of the operating performance of the Company.

 

 

(2)

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) 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 the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net

32



 

 

 

income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REIT’s. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

 

(3)

In addition to the $0.8951 cash dividends declared in 2008, the Company declared a Common Share dividend of $0.4949.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

As of December 31, 2009, we operated 79 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our three Opportunity Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned by, or partially owned through joint venture interests by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. These 79 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. Excluding two properties under redevelopment, there are 32 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 4.8 million square feet. Fund I has 21 properties comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet. Fund II has 10 properties, seven of which (representing 1.2 million square feet) are currently operating, one is under construction, and two are in 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 14 properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 0.9 million net rentable square feet are self-storage facilities. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from these 79 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 but investments in operating businesses, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:

 

 

Own and operate a Core Portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street retail located in markets with strong demographics and generate internal growth within the Core Portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and/or leasing activities

 

 

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

 

 

Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions. These transactions may include other types of commercial real estate besides those which we invest in through our Core Portfolio. These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy is currently in a post recessionary period, which has resulted in a significant decline in retail sales due to reduced consumer spending. Many financial and economic analysts are predicting that this period will extend beyond 2009. Although the occupancy and net operating income within our portfolio has not been materially adversely affected through December 31, 2009, should retailers continue to experience deteriorating sales performance, the likelihood of additional tenant bankruptcy filings may increase, which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition to the impact on retailers, this period has had an unprecedented impact on the U.S. credit markets. Traditional sources of financing, such as the commercial-mortgage backed security market, have become severely curtailed, if not eliminated. If these conditions continue, our ability to finance new acquisitions or refinance existing debts as they mature will be adversely affected. Accordingly, our ability to generate external growth in income, as well as maintain existing operating income, could be limited.

See the “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” including the discussions under the headings “The current economic environment, while improving, may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or finance our current redevelopment projects” and “The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants or a significant number of our smaller tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values.”

Note:

 

(1)

Includes fees earned by the Company as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds that are eliminated in consolidation. The Operating Partnership’s share of these fees are recognized as a reduction in noncontrolling interests. The net balance reflected herein represents third party fees which are not eliminated in consolidation.

The increase in minimum rents in the Opportunity Funds primarily relates to additional rents following the acquisition of Cortlandt Towne Center (“2009 Fund Acquisition”) of $7.5 million and additional leases at Fordham Place and Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza commencing in 2009 (“Fordham and Pelham”). The increase in minimum rents in the Storage Portfolio relates to the February 2008 acquisition of the Storage Post Portfolio and the Company’s election in 2008 to report the Storage Portfolio activity one month in arrears to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of reporting. Accordingly, the year ended December 31, 2008 reflects nine months of activity while the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects twelve months of activity (“Storage Acquisition”). In addition, the increase in minimum rents in the Storage Portfolio was also attributable to the full amortization of acquired lease intangible cost during 2009.

Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance as a result of the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fordham and Pelham.

Lease termination income in the Core Portfolio for 2009 relates to a termination fee earned from Acme at Absecon Marketplace. Lease termination income in the Opportunity Funds for 2008 relates to a termination fee earned, net of costs, from Home Depot at Canarsie Plaza.

Management fee income decreased primarily as a result of lower fees earned of $0.9 million from the CityPoint development project and lower fees from our Klaff management contracts.

The increase in interest income was the result of higher interest earning assets in 2009, primarily from new notes/mezzanine financing investments originated during the second half of 2008.

Other income of $1.7 million in the Core Portfolio was the result of the Company’s retention of a sales contract deposit forfeited during 2009.

The increase in property operating expenses in the Opportunity Funds was primarily the result of the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fordham and Pelham. The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio relates to the Storage Acquisition.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was primarily attributable to the 2009 Fund Acquisition. The increase in real estate taxes in the Storage Portfolio relates to the Storage Acquisition.

The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to reduced compensation expense following staff reductions in the second half of 2008 and in the first half of 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds relates to the reduction in Promote expense attributable to Fund I and Mervyns I. The increase in general and administrative expense in Other primarily relates to the reduction in Fund I and Mervyns I Promote expense eliminated for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.

Depreciation expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $2.4 million in 2009. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense in 2008 resulting from the write-down of tenant improvements at two properties attributable to the bankruptcy of Circuit City. Amortization expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $0.7 million primarily as a result of lower amortization expense in 2009 associated with the Klaff management contracts. Depreciation expense increased $5.0 million and amortization expense increased $2.1 million in the Opportunity Funds primarily due to the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fordham and Pelham. Depreciation expense and amortization expense increased $1.4 million in the Storage Portfolio primarily as a result of the Storage Acquisition as previously discussed. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.5 million in Other as a result of depreciation associated with the elimination of capitalizable costs within the consolidated group.

The $2.5 million abandonment of project costs in 2009 is attributable to the Company’s determination that it most likely will not participate in a specific future development project.

The reserve for notes receivable of $1.7 million in 2009 relates to the establishment of a reserve for a notes receivable due to the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying property. The 2008 reserve for notes receivable of $4.4 million relates to a mezzanine loan.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds decreased primarily as a result of our pro-rata share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations in 2008 of $10.4 million, a decrease in distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $7.9 million in 2009 and our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of the Haygood Shopping Center of $3.4 million in 2008.

The $3.8 million unconsolidated affiliate impairment reserve in 2009 relates to a Fund I unconsolidated investment.

Interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $1.1 million in 2009. This was primarily the result of lower interest expense related to the purchase of the Company’s convertible notes payable offset by a $0.7 million write-off of the unamortized premium related to the repayment of a mortgage note payable during 2008. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $2.9 million in 2009. This was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.2 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2009 and $0.6 million of lower capitalized interest in 2009. These increases were offset by a $2.2 million decrease related to lower average interest rates in

35


2009. Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $1.4 million in 2009. This was primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2009 as well as an increase of $0.8 million due to higher interest rates in 2009.

The gain on debt extinguishment of $7.1 million in 2009 and $1.5 million in 2008 is attributable to the purchase of our convertible debt at a discount.

The gain on sale of land of $0.8 million in the Core Portfolio relates to a land sale at Bloomfield Town Square in 2008.

The variance in the income tax provision in the Core Portfolio primarily relates to income taxes at the TRS level for our share of income/gains from Mervyns and Albertson’s in 2008.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold in 2009 and 2008.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations for the Opportunity Funds primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all Opportunity Fund activity and ranges from a 77.8% interest in Fund I to an 80.1% interest in Fund III. The variance between 2009 and 2008 represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above. Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations in Other relates to the noncontrolling interests’ share of capitalized construction, leasing and legal fees.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Discontinued operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of activity related to properties sold in 2009 and 2008.

Includes fees earned by the Company as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds that are eliminated in consolidation. The Operating Partnership’s share of these fees are recognized as a reduction in noncontrolling interests. The net balance reflected herein represents third party fees which are not eliminated in consolidation.

The increase in minimum rents in the Core Portfolio was attributable to additional rents following the acquisitions of 200 West 54th Street, 145 East Service Road and East 17th Street (“2007/2008 Core Acquisitions”) of $1.8 million. The increase in rents in the Opportunity Funds primarily relates to additional rents following the acquisition of 125 Main Street (“2007 Fund Acquisitions”) of $0.5 million, 216th Street being placed in service October 1, 2007 of $2.1 million, and Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Fordham Plaza being partially placed in service in 2008. The increase in minimum rents in the Storage Portfolio relates to the acquisition of the Storage Post Portfolio (“2008 Storage Acquisition”).

Expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance (“CAM”). Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.7 million in the Core Portfolio as a result of the 2007/2008 Core Acquisitions as well as general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the Core Portfolio in 2008. CAM expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased $1.0 million. As a result of the completion of a multi-year review of CAM billings during 2007 and the resolution of the majority of all outstanding CAM billing issues with our tenants, 2007 CAM expense reimbursements were adversely impacted by charges related to this settlement and the related accrual adjustments totaling $1.0 million. The increase in expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds relates primarily to the billing in 2008 of previous year’s operating expenses at 161st Street for $1.2 million and the billing of previous year’s utility charges to an anchor tenant for $0.3 million.

Lease termination income in the Opportunity Funds for 2008 relates to a termination fee earned, net of costs, from Home Depot at Canarsie Plaza.

The increase in interest income was the result of higher interest earning assets in 2008, primarily from new notes/mezzanine financing investments.

The increase in property operating expenses in the Core Portfolio relates to additional reserves for tenant receivables, including straight line rent. The increase in property operating expenses in the Opportunity Funds was attributable to 216th Street being placed in service October 1, 2007 of $0.6 million, allocated property operating expenses related to Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Fordham Plaza being partially placed in service in 2008 of $2.3 million as well as additional reserves for tenant receivables, which was primarily for straight line rent receivables. The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio relates to the 2008 Storage Acquisition.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Core Portfolio was due to the 2007/2008 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 primarily attributable to allocated real estate taxes related to Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Fordham being partially placed in service in 2008. The increase in real estate taxes in the Storage Portfolio relates to the acquisition of the 2008 Storage Acquisition.

The increase in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to increased compensation expense of $1.1 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 $0.3 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased activity in Opportunity Fund assets and asset management services. The increase in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds primarily related to additional Fund III asset management fees of $2.8 million in 2008 as well as an increase in other professional fees. These increases were offset by a $0.8 million decrease in Promote expense related to Fund I and Mervyns I. The decrease in general and administrative in “Other” primarily relates to the elimination of the Fund III asset management fees offset by the elimination of the Fund I and Mervyns I Promote expense for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.

Depreciation expense in the Core Portfolio increased $2.9 million in 2008. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense following the full depreciation of tenant improvements at two properties following the bankruptcy of Circuit City of $2.4 million and increased depreciation expense resulting from the 2007/2008 Core Acquisitions. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the Opportunity Funds is primarily related to 216th Street being placed in service October 1, 2007 as well as Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Fordham Plaza being partially placed in service in 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization in the Storage Portfolio relates to the acquisition of the 2008 Storage Acquisition.

The reserve for notes receivable of $4.4 million in 2008 relates to the impairment of a mezzanine loan.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds increased primarily as a result of our pro-rata share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations in 2008 of $5.2 million, additional distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $7.9 million and our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of the Haygood Shopping Center of $3.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our pro-rata share of distributions in excess of basis from our investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.7 million as compared to 2007.

Interest expense in the Core Portfolio increased $0.4 million in 2008. This was primarily the result of a $1.1 million increase attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2008 and a $0.2 million increase related to higher average interest rates in 2008. These increases were offset by a $0.7 million write-off of the unamortized premium related to the repayment of a mortgage note payable in 2008 and a $0.4 million decrease resulting from costs associated with a loan payoff in 2007. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $0.2 million in 2008. This was the result of an increase of $3.2 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2008 offset by a $3.1 million decrease related to lower average interest rates in 2008. Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $3.2 million as a result of the 2008 Storage Acquisition.

The gain on debt extinguishment of $1.5 million is attributable to the purchase of the Company’s convertible debt at a discount in 2008.

The gain on sale of land in 2008 in the Core Portfolio relates to a land parcel sale at Bloomfield Town Square.

The variance in income tax provision in the Core Portfolio primarily relates to income taxes at the TRS level for our share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations in 2008.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The extraordinary item in 2007 in the Opportunity Funds relates to the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes, from our Albertson’s investment.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations for the Opportunity Funds primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all Opportunity Fund activity and ranges from a 77.8% interest in Fund I to an 80.1% interest in Fund III. The variance between 2008 and 2007 represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above. Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations in Notes Receivable and Other relates to the noncontrolling interests’ share of capitalized construction, leasing and legal fees.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Discontinued operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of activity related to properties sold in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries – Extraordinary item represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of the extraordinary gain from the Albertson’s investment.

Notes:

Represents income attributable to Common OP Units and does not include distributions paid to Series A and B Preferred OP Unitholders.

 

 

(2)

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by NAREIT 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 the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

 

(3)

The extraordinary item represents the Company’s share of estimated extraordinary gain related to its private-equity investment in Albertson’s. The Albertson’s entity has recorded an extraordinary gain in connection with the allocation of purchase price to assets acquired. The Company considers its private-equity investments to be investments in operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from private-equity investments are included in adjusted FFO, which management believes provides a more accurate reflection of the operating performance of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Uses of Liquidity

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Opportunity Funds and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, and (iii) debt service and loan repayments, including the repurchase of our Convertible Notes.

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 year ended December 31, 2009, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $29.1 million. In addition, in December of 2008, our Board of Trustees approved a special dividend of approximately $0.55 per share, or $18.0 million in the aggregate, which was associated with taxable gains arising from property dispositions in 2008, which was paid on January 30, 2009, to shareholders of record on December 31, 2008. Ninety percent of the special dividend was paid with the issuance of 1.3 million Common Shares and 10%, or $1.8 million, was paid in cash.

39


Fund I and Mervyns I

In September 2001, the Operating Partnership committed $20.0 million to a newly formed Opportunity Fund with four of our institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on a leveraged basis. During 2006, the Fund I investors received a return of all their invested capital in Fund I and their unpaid preferred return. The Operating Partnership is entitled to 37.8% of all future income and distributions (Promote and pro-rata share of the remaining 80%).

As of December 31, 2009, Fund I has a total of 21 properties totaling 1.0 million square feet as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

(1) During 2009, Fund I recorded an impairment reserve of $3.8 million related to this investment.

In addition, we, along with our Fund I investors have invested in Mervyns as discussed in Item 1 of this form 10-K.

Fund II and Mervyns II

On June 15, 2004, we formed our second opportunity fund, Fund II, and during August 2004, formed Mervyns II with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors, whereby the investors, including the Operating Partnership, committed capital totaling $300.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exception that the preferred return is 8%. As of December 31, 2009, $223.3 million had been contributed to Fund II, of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $44.7 million.

Fund II has invested in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment and the RCP Venture initiatives and other investments as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

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 Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail or mixed-use real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, 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. 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 were made through Acadia-P/A, as follows:

RCP Venture

See “Property Acquisitions” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a table summarizing the RCP Venture investments from inception through December 31, 2009.

Fund III

In May 2007, we formed Fund III with fourteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II with a total of $503.0 million of committed discretionary capital. The Operating Partnership’s share of the committed capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 19.9% interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of December 31, 2009, $96.5 million has been invested in Fund III, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $19.2 million.

Fund III has invested in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiatives and other investments as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K. The projects are as follows:

Completion to be determined

During February 2008, Acadia, through Fund III, and in conjunction with an unaffiliated partner, Storage Post, acquired a portfolio of eleven self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. The properties are located throughout New York and New Jersey. The portfolio continues to be operated by Storage Post, which is a 5% equity partner. During January 2009, Fund III purchased Cortlandt Towne Center for $78.0 million. The property is a 642,000 square foot shopping center located in Westchester County, NY, a trade area with high barriers to entry for regional and national retailers.

Preferred Equity Investment, Mezzanine Loan Investments and Notes Receivable

At December 31, 2009, our preferred equity investment, mezzanine loan investments and notes receivable, net aggregated $125.2 million, with accrued interest thereon of $10.3 million, and were collateralized by the underlying properties, the borrower’s ownership interest in the entities that own the properties and/or by the borrower’s personal guarantee. Effective interest rates on our preferred equity investment, mezzanine loan investments and notes receivable ranged from 10.0% to 22.4% with maturities through January 2017.

During December 2009, we made a loan for $8.6 million which bears interest at 14.5% with a one year term and one six month extension.

Other Investments

Acquisitions made during 2007, 2008 and 2009 are discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K:

Property Redevelopment and Expansion

Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.

Purchase of Convertible Notes

Repurchase of the Notes is another use of our liquidity. During 2009, we purchased an additional $57.0 million in face amount of our outstanding convertible notes for $46.7 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 December 31, 2009, management may repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

We intend on using Fund III, as well as new funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion 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 and cash flow from operating activities, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) noncontrolling interests’ unfunded capital commitments of $61.3 million and $325.2 million for Funds II and III, respectively, and (v) future sales of existing properties.

During 2009, Fund II received capital contributions of $31.2 million to fund redevelopment projects and paydown the line of credit of Fund II.

As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $139.5 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $93.8 million.

Issuance of Convertible Notes

During December of 2006 and January of 2007, we issued $115.0 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes. These notes were issued at par and are due in 2026. The $112.1 million in proceeds, net of related costs, was used to retire variable rate debt, fund capital commitments and general corporate purposes.

Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity

During April 2009, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. During April 2009, we issued 5.75 million Common Shares and generated net proceeds of approximately $65.0 million. The proceeds were primarily used to purchase a portion of our outstanding convertible notes payable and pay down existing lines of credit. Following this issuance, we have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $430.0 million of these securities.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During November 2009, we sold Blackman Plaza for $2.5 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $1.5 million. During February 2009, The Kroger Co. purchased the fee at six locations in Fund I’s Kroger/Safeway Portfolio for $14.6 million of which Fund I’s share of the sales proceeds amounted to $8.1 million after the repayment of the mortgage debt on these properties. During April 2008, we sold a residential complex located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. During December of 2007, we sold an apartment complex in Columbia Missouri. These sales are discussed in “ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

42


Notes Receivable Repayment and Mezzanine Loan Paydowns

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we received $12.6 million in loan repayments on several first mortgage notes and $1.0 million in paydowns on mezzanine loans.

Financing and Debt

At December 31, 2009, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $780.1 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million, and the mortgage notes were collateralized by 28 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 0.72% to 7.18% with maturities that ranged from March 2010 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $83.4 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of December 31, 2009, $439.0 million of the portfolio, or 56%, was fixed at a 5.8% weighted average interest rate and $341.1 million, or 44% was floating at a 3.1% weighted average interest rate. There is $132.6 million of debt maturing in 2010 at weighted average interest rates of 2.2%. Of this amount, $2.1 million represents scheduled annual amortization. The loans relating to $80.3 million of the 2010 maturities provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise. If we are unable to extend these loans and refinance the balance of $52.3 million, we believe we will be able to repay this debt with existing liquidity, including unfunded capital commitments from the Opportunity Fund investors. As it relates to maturities after 2010, 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. Given the current post recessionary period, refinancing this debt will be very difficult. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—The current economic environment, while improving, may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or finance our current redevelopment projects.”

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in four 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 noncontrolling 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 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K, for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. Our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt related to those investments is as follows:

As of December 31, 2009, there was $26.0 million of debt at CityPoint scheduled to mature during August of 2010. There are no options to extend this debt. Fund II and its unaffiliated joint venture partner’s (“JV Partner”) share of this debt was $6.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively. If CityPoint is unable to extend the maturity date of this debt, Fund II and its JV Partner may be required to fund their requisite share of capital to repay this obligation. In the event that the JV Partner does not fund its requisite share of capital, pursuant to the joint venture agreement, Fund II would have the option to fund the JV Partner’s share of capital to repay this debt either as a loan to the JV Partner or as additional equity in CityPoint.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of four separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2009, there were no outstanding balances under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $9.7 million.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2009 versus 2008 is as follows:

A decrease of $19.0 million in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from the following: (i) lease termination income of $24.0 million from Home Depot at Canarsie Plaza in 2008 and (ii) a $13.5 million decrease in distributions (primarily Albertson’s) of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates in 2009. These 2009 decreases were offset by a $24.0 million increase in other assets primarily related to additional cash used for the purchase of short term financial instruments in 2008 and the subsequent redemption of these financial instruments in 2009.

A decrease of $178.9 million of net cash used in investing activities resulted from the following: (i) a decrease of $112.4 million in expenditures for real estate, development and tenant installations in 2009 and (ii) a decrease of $81.5 million in advances of notes receivable in 2009. These decreases in cash used were offset by (i) an additional $11.7 million in proceeds from the sale of properties in 2008 and (ii) a decrease of $6.3 million in collections of notes receivable in 2009.

The $116.1 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from the following decreases in cash for 2009: (i) $114.2 million of additional cash used for repayment of debt in 2009, (ii) an additional $40.7 million of cash used for the purchase of convertible notes in 2009, (iii) a decrease of $21.1 million of proceeds received on borrowings of debt in 2009, and (iv) a decrease of $20.4 million in capital contributions from noncontrolling interests in 2009. These 2009 cash decreases were offset by the following: (i) $65.2 million of additional cash from the issuance of Common Shares, net of costs, in 2009, (ii) an additional $13.7 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests in 2008, and (iii) an additional $4.5 million of dividends paid to Common Shareholders in 2008.

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 U.S. 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale

On a quarterly basis, we review the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. We perform the impairment analysis by calculating and reviewing net operating income on a property-by-property basis. We evaluate leasing projections and perform other analyses to conclude whether an asset is impaired. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value. For properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, no impairment losses were recognized. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2009.

Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other than temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next twelve months is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a $3.8 million impairment reserve related to a Fund I unconsolidated joint venture. No impairment charges related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Bad Debts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payments on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries. We also maintain a reserve for straight-line rent receivables. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

45


Real Estate

Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”) and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (formerly SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), and allocate purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant takes possession of the space. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to us of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.

We make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. See “Bad Debts” above. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investment

Real estate notes receivable and preferred equity investments are intended to be held to maturity and are carried at cost. Interest income from notes receivable and preferred equity investments are recognized on the effective interest method over the expected life of the loan. Under the effective interest method, interest or fees to be collected at the origination of the loan or the payoff of the loan is recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

Allowances for real estate notes receivable and preferred equity investments 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. Interest income recognition is generally suspended for loans when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

During 2009, we provided a $1.7 million reserve on a note receivable as a result of the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property.

During 2008, we provided a $4.4 million reserve on a note receivable collateralized by an interest in an entity owning retail complexes associated with seven public rest stops along the toll roads in and around Chicago, Illinois. The note and all accrued interest was subsequently cancelled during 2009.

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 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Information as of December 31, 2009

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K, 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 December 31, 2009, we had total mortgage and convertible notes payable of $780.1 million of which $439.0 million, or 56% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $341.1 million, or 44%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or commercial paper rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2009, we were a party to eight interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $83.4 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2009 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions): Consolidated mortgage debt:

$132.6 million of our total consolidated debt and $2.5 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due in 2010. $331.1 million of our total consolidated debt and $0.5 million of our pro-rata share of uncolidated debt will become due in 2011. 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 $4.7 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $1.7 million. Interest expense on our variable debt of $341.1 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of December 31, 2009 would increase $3.4 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.6 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.

Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2009, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $18.3 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $20.5 million.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had preferred equity investments and notes receivable of $125.2 million and $125.6 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our preferred equity investment and notes receivable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $126.4 million and $122.3 million, respectively, by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.

47


Based on our outstanding preferred equity investments and notes receivable balances as of December 31, 2009, the fair value of our total outstanding preferred equity investments and notes receivable would decrease by approximately $0.7 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding preferred equity investments and notes receivable would increase by approximately $0.7 million.

Summarized Information as of December 31, 2008

As of December 31, 2008, we had total mortgage and convertible notes payable of $753.8 million of which $505.6 million, or 67% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $248.2 million, or 33%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2008, we were a party to seven interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $73.4 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Interest expense on our variable debt of $248.2 million as of December 31, 2008 would have increased $2.5 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2008, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $18.1 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $19.3 million.

Changes in Market Risk Exposures from 2008 to 2009

Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 has increased, as we had $248.2 million in variable-rate debt (or 33% of our total debt) at December 31, 2008, as compared to $341.1 million (or 44% of our total debt) in variable-rate debt at December 31, 2009. In addition, the amount of our total debt increased from $753.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $780.1 million at December 31, 2009. This increased amount of debt could expose us to greater fluctuations in the fair value of our debt.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13(a)-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Based on our evaluation under the COSO criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which appears in paragraph (b) of this Item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm

The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust

We have audited Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on a company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained in all material respects effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 and our report dated March 1, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. In connection with our audits of the financial statements we have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedule listed on page F-1. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2009, and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company retrospectively changed its method of accounting for its convertible debt instruments with the adoption of the guidance originally issued in FSP APB 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”) effective January 1, 2009. The Company also retrospectively changed its presentation of non-controlling interests with the adoption of the guidance originally issued in SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (ASC Topic 810-10, “Consolidation”) effective January 1, 2009.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 1, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company operated 79 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.

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 December 31, 2009, 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 referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

During September of 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and during August of 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 a total of $70.0 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate investments. As of December 31, 2009, Fund I was fully invested, with the Operating Partnership having contributed $16.5 million to Fund I and $2.7 million to Mervyns I.

The Operating Partnership is the general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services) is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is currently 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 a total of $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital. 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 December 31, 2009, the Operating Partnership had contributed $37.1 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 fourteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II with a total of $503.0 million of committed discretionary capital. 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 are substantially the same as the previous Funds I and II, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of December 31, 2009, the Operating Partnership had contributed $19.2 million to Fund III.

Principles of Consolidation

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5) (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income.

Principles of Consolidation, continued

Variable interest entities within the scope of ASC Topic 810 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”) are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that bears a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures are not variable interest entities or that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. These investments are accounted for using the equity method.

Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method as it does not exercise control over significant asset decisions such as buying, selling or financing nor is it the primary beneficiary under ASC Topic 810, as discussed above. The Company does have significant influence over the investments which requires equity method accounting. Under the equity method, the Company increases its investment for its proportionate share of net income and contributions to the joint venture and decreases its investment balance by recording its proportionate share of net loss and distributions. The Company recognizes income for distributions in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company. For investments in which there is recourse to the Company, distributions in excess of the investment are recorded as a liability. Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 4) under the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of this unconsolidated affiliate until it receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with ASC Topic 323 “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (formerly Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”).

The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other than temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a $3.8 million impairment charge related to a Fund I unconsolidated joint venture. No impairment charges related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Use of Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of trade accounts receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Real Estate

Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (formerly SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”)

Real Estate, continued

and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (formerly SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), and allocates acquisition price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations 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 sell. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, no impairment losses were recognized. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2009.

Sale of Real Estate

The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate” (formerly SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”). The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the full accrual method at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods.

Real Estate Held for Sale

The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported.

On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Deferred Costs

Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases are deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are deferred and are amortized over the term of the related debt obligation.

Management Contracts

Income from management contracts is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition cost of the management contracts are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant takes possession of the space. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, included in rents receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $12.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.

The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investments

Notes receivable and preferred equity investments are intended to be held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Interest income from notes receivable and preferred equity investments are recognized on the effective interest method over the expected life of the loan. Under the effective interest method, interest or fees to be collected at the origination of the loan or the payoff of the loan are recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

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. Interest income recognition is generally suspended for loans when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income recognition is resumed when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

During 2009, the Company provided a $1.7 million reserve on a note receivable as a result of the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property. During 2008, the Company provided a $4.4 million reserve on a note receivable collateralized by in interest in an entity owning retail complexes associated with seven public rest stops along the toll roads in and around Chicago, Illinois. The note and all accrued interest was subsequently cancelled during 2009. Management believes that the balance of notes receivable are collectible as of December 31, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow

Restricted cash and cash in escrow consist principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.

Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders as well as comply with certain other income, asset and organizational requirements as defined in the Code. Accordingly, the Company is generally not subject to Federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.

Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) is fully subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.

TRS income taxes are accounted for under the liability method as required by ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRS income, assets and liabilities.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly FASB Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS No. 109”), the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that result in a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. The prior three years’ income tax returns are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s policy relating to interest and penalties is to recognize them as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock options pursuant to ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (formerly SFAS No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”). As such, all equity based awards are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock option was granted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”) (“ASC Topic 105”). ASC Topic 105 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. It establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC does not create new accounting and reporting guidance rather it reorganizes GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), for SEC registrants, have been included in the ASC. ASC Topic 105 was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic 105 on September 30, 2009.

During December of 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (formerly SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”) (“ASC Topic 805”). ASC Topic 805 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. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 805 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

During March of 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (formerly SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133”) (“ASC Topic 815”). ASC Topic 815 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. ASC 815 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 815 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

During June of 2008, the FASB ratified ASC Topic 815 (formerly EITF Issue 07-5 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. ASC Topic 815 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAF 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. ASC Topic 815 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 815 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During October of 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”) (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 provides guidance in determining the fair value of a financial asset when there is not an active market for that financial asset. The adoption of ASC Topic 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the following FASB pronouncements, which required it to retrospectively restate and reclassify previously disclosed consolidated financial statements. As such, certain prior period amounts have been restated or reclassified in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform to the adoption of these FASB pronouncements.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810 (formerly SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements). ASC Topic 810, among other things, provides guidance and establishes amended accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a consolidated subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under ASC Topic 810, the Company now reports noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and shows both net income and net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the controlling interests on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (formerly FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion Including Partial Cash Settlement”), (“ASC Topic 470-20”). ASC Topic 470-20 requires the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt be allocated between a debt component and an equity component. The debt component is measured based on the fair value of similar debt without an equity conversion feature, and the equity component is determined as the residual of the fair value of the debt deducted from the original proceeds received. The resulting discount on the debt component is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding, which is December 11, 2006 to December 20, 2011, as additional non-cash interest expense. The equity component recorded as additional paid-in capital was $11.3 million, which represented the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes payable and the fair value of the liability at the time of issuance. The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the fiscal years ended 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to the convertible notes payable was $0.7 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, after giving effect to repurchases.

The following table shows the effect of the retrospective application and reclassification of (i) the consolidated balance sheet accounts for the year ended December 31, 2008 and (ii) the consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and consolidated statement of cash flow accounts for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” (formerly FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) (“ASC Topic 825”). ASC Topic 825 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. ASC Topic 825 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic 825 and has provided the disclosures in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855 “Subsequent Events” (formerly SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”) (“ASC Topic 855”). ASC Topic 855 establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued and was effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic 855 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (formerly SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)),” which changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate a variable interest entity. ASC 810 is effective on the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

2. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties and Discontinued Operations

A. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties

The Company has historically made acquisitions through its Opportunity Funds and the Operating Partnership.

Acquisitions

On January 29, 2009, the Company acquired the 642,000 square foot Cortlandt Towne Center in Cortlandt, NY for $78.0 million.

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.

On April 22, 2008, the Company acquired a 20,000 square foot single tenant retail property located in Manhattan, New York for $9.7 million.

B. Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Presentation of Financial Statements, Discontinued Operations”, 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 prior to December 31, 2009, 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 as of December 31, 2008 and results of operations of the properties classified as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are summarized as follows:

3. Segment Reporting

The Company has five reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Self-Storage Portfolio, Notes Receivable and Other. Notes Receivable consists of the Company’s notes receivable and preferred equity investment and related interest income. Other consists primarily of management fees and interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in the Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of the Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

4. 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., through a limited liability company (“KLA”), for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has invested $60.8 million through the RCP Venture on a non-recourse basis. Upon formation, it was contemplated the RCP Venture would invest $300.0 million, of which the Company’s share would be $60.0 million. Cash flow from any individual 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 related contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff and 80% to the partners (including Klaff).

The table below summarizes the Company’s invested capital and distributions received from its RCP Venture investments.

Mervyns Department Stores

In September 2004, the Company made its first RCP Venture investment. Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, the Company invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department Store chain (“Mervyns”) consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. To date, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio. In addition, in November 2007, the Company sold its interest in OPCO and, as a result, has no further investment in OPCO. Subsequent to the initial acquisition, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments of $2.9 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, REALCO recorded an impairment charge on its investment in certain locations and leasehold interests of which Mervyns I and II recognized a combined loss of $3.1 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of this loss, net of taxes, was $0.6 million.

Through December 31, 2009, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments in locations that are separate from the original investment (“Add-On Investments”) in Mervyns totaling $5.1 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 KLA’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. During February of 2007, the Company received a cash distribution of $44.4 million from this investment, which was sourced from the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held by Albertson’s. The Company recognized distributions in excess of its invested capital in income, including $30.2 million characterized as extraordinary consistent with the accounting treatment by Albertson’s. Through December 31, 2009, the Company has received additional distributions from this investment totaling $21.3 million.

Through December 31, 2009, the Company, through Mervyns II, made Add-On investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $1.2 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 KLA’s operating and financial policies.

Other RCP Investments

During 2006, the Company, through Fund II, made investments of $1.1 million in Shopko and $0.7 million in Marsh. During 2007, Fund II received a $1.1 million cash distribution from the Shopko investment representing 100% of its invested capital. As of December 31, 2009, the Company, through Fund II, made investments of $2.0 million in additional Add-On investments in Marsh and has received distributions totaling $2.6 million.

During July of 2007, the RCP Venture acquired a portfolio of 87 retail properties from Rex Stores Corporation, which the Company invested through Mervyns II. The Company’s share of this investment was $2.7 million. In December of 2009, the Company received distributions of $0.4 million.

Brandywine Portfolio

The Company owns a 22.2% interest in a one million square foot retail portfolio located in Wilmington, Delaware (the “Brandywine Portfolio”) that is accounted for using the equity method.

Crossroads

The Company owns a 49% interest in the Crossroads Joint Venture and Crossroads II (collectively, “Crossroads”), which collectively own a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York that is accounted for using the equity method.

Other Investments

Fund I Investments

Fund I owns a 50% interest in the Sterling Heights Shopping Center which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. During 2009, Fund I recorded an impairment charge of $3.8 million related to this investment.

Fund II Investments

Fund II’s approximately 25% investment in CityPoint is accounted for using the equity method. The Company has determined that CityPoint is a variable interest entity, and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s maximum exposure is its current investment balance of $37.4 million.

As of December 31, 2009, there was $26.0 million of debt at CityPoint scheduled to mature during August of 2010. There are no options to extend this debt. Fund II and its unaffiliated joint venture partner’s (“JV Partner”) share of this debt was $6.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively. If CityPoint is unable to extend the maturity date of this debt, Fund II and its JV Partner may be required to fund their requisite share of capital to repay this obligation. In the event that the JV Partner does not fund its requisite share of capital, pursuant to the joint venture agreement, Fund II would have the option to fund the JV Partner’s share of capital to repay this debt either as a loan to the JV Partner or as additional equity in CityPoint.

In June 2009, the servicer of two of the Company’s loans alleged that non-monetary defaults had occurred on construction loans for $31.7 million and $11.5 million collateralized by the Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Atlantic Avenue, respectively. The servicer contends that the Company did not substantially complete the improvements in accordance with the required completion dates as defined in the loan agreements and, accordingly, did not meet the requirements for the final draws. The Company does not believe the loans are in default and will vigorously defend its position and is currently in discussions with the servicer to resolve these issues. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

9. Convertible Notes Payable

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued a total of $115.0 million in principal 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. The Convertible Notes had an initial conversion price of $30.86 per share. The conversion rate may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends in excess of the regular quarterly cash dividend in place at the time the Convertible Notes were issued. As of December 31, 2009, the adjusted conversion price is $29.26. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will deliver cash and, in some circumstances, Common Shares, as specified in the indenture relating to the Convertible Notes. In general, the Convertible Notes may only be converted prior to maturity during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2006 if the Company’s Common Shares trade at 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 days within a consecutive 30 day trading period. Prior to December 20, 2011, the Company will not have the right to redeem Convertible Notes, except to preserve its status as a REIT. After December 20, 2011, the Company will have the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The Holders of notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December 15, 2021 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.

In general, upon a conversion of notes, the Company will deliver cash and, at the Company’s election, its Common Shares, with an aggregate value, which the Company refers to as the “conversion value”, equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the average price of the Company’s Common Shares. The net amount may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash, its Common Shares or a combination of cash and its Common Shares.

During 2009 and 2008, the Company purchased $57.0 million and $8.0 million in face amount, respectively, of its convertible debt at an average discount of approximately 19%. The transactions resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment of $7.1 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The outstanding Convertible Note face amount as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $50.0 million and $107.0 million, respectively.

10. Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” 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.

ASC Topic 820’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:

 

 

 

 

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:

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 to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate market pricing models. With the adoption ASC Topic 820, the Company has amended the techniques used in measuring the fair value of its derivative positions. This amendment includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivatives measured at fair value. The implementation of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The following table presents the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value based on level of inputs at December 31, 2009:

Noncontrolling interests in partially-owned affiliates include third-party interests in Fund I, II and III, and Mervyns I and II and three other entities.

In 2004 and 2005, the Company issued 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units and 250,000 Restricted Common OP Units, respectively, to Klaff in consideration for interest in certain management contract rights. The Preferred OP Units were convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. The Restricted Common OP Units are convertible into the Company’s Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five-year lock-up period. During 2007, Klaff converted all 4,000 Series B Preferred Units into 312,013 Common OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares.

The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued in 1999 in connection with the acquisition of a property. Through December 31, 2008, 696 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 92,800 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.

15. Share Incentive Plan

During 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan authorizes the issuance of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares (“Restricted Shares”), restricted OP Units (“LTIP Units”) and performance units (collectively, “Awards”) to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company equal to up to four percent of the total Common Shares of the Company outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than the equivalent of 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards. Options are granted by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of three non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee. Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common Shares, at the discretion of the Committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the grant date. The Committee determines the restrictions placed on Awards, including the dividends or distributions thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2009, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares had been awarded.

During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan is substantially similar to the 2003 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Share equivalents that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2006 Plan is 500,000.

On March 5, 2009, the Company issued 8,612 Restricted Shares and 200,574 LTIP Units to officers of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the next five annual anniversaries of the issuance date. The vesting on 39% of these awards is also generally subject to achieving certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares or certain Company performance measures. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common OP Units. This distribution is paid on both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common OP Units and Common Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts.

Also on March 5, 2009 and March 10, 2009, the Company issued a total of 36,347 Restricted Shares and 8,221 LTIP Units to employees of the Company, other than the Company’s officers. Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the next five annual anniversaries of the issuance date. In addition, the vesting on 1,196 Restricted Shares and 6,258 LTIP Units vest 25% subject to achieving certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares or certain Company performance measures.

The total value of the above Restricted Shares and LTIP Units issued was $2.6 million. The weighted average fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $10.31, $24.51 and $24.91, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, $3.7 million, $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, were recognized in compensation expense related to Restricted Share and LTIP Unit grants.

On May 13, 2009, the Company issued 5,435 unrestricted Common Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. In addition, on May 28, 2009, the Company issued an additional 1,299 unrestricted Common Shares to the Lead Trustee of the Company in connection with the Lead Trustee fee. The Company also issued 10,000 Restricted Shares to Trustees, which vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively, from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares vesting. Trustee fee expense of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to this issuance.

During 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units for up to 25% of its Fund III Promote to senior executives when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has awarded units representing 60% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance. In accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation- Stock Compensation” (formerly SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments”) compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 101,283 options outstanding to officers and employees of which all have vested. These options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and vested in three equal annual installments, which began on the Grant Date. In addition, 58,000 options have been issued, of which all have vested, to non-employee Trustees as of December 31, 2009.

A summary of option activity under all option arrangements as of December 31, 2009, and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

As of December 31, 2009, there was $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under share incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total fair value of Restricted Shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $5.0 million, $2.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

16. Employee Share Purchase and Deferred Share Plan

The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more the $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, 8,744, 7,499, and 7,123 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan. Associated compensation expense of $0.02 million was recorded in 2009 and $0.03 million was recorded in 2008 and 2007.

During August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election pursuant to the 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (“Share Units”) that otherwise would have been issued upon the exercise of certain options. In January 2009, these Share Units were converted to 190,487 Common Shares and issued to the recipients and 83,433 of these Common Shares were cancelled to pay for the participants income taxes.

During May of 2006, the Company adopted a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election (“Trustee Deferral Plan”) whereby the participating Trustees have deferred compensation of $0.05 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2009, certain trustees elected to receive 14,722 Common Shares, which were previously deferred, from the Trustee Deferral Plan.

19. Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, no U.S. Federal income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at the regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on any undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s Taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”) is subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.

The difference between the GAAP and tax reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities is due largely to the higher GAAP basis in the Company’s real estate properties. This variance is primarily the result of assets acquired as a result of property contributions in exchange for OP Units and the utilization of Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.

Reconciliation between GAAP net income and Federal taxable income, continued

Notes:

 

(1) Net income for 2007 and 2008 has been restated pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, which reclassified a portion of the interest expense on the Company’s convertible debt as equity distributions. This restatement has no impact on the Company’s taxable income.

 

(2) Includes one-time deduction of $4,907 in 2008, resulting from reclassification of certain fixed assets for income tax purposes.

 

(3) 2009 difference due to higher tax basis on sold properties (net of noncontrolling interests). In 2007 and 2008, principally the result of the deferral of the gain from the sale of properties for income tax purposes. Also affected by special tax allocations pursuant to Code Section 704(c).

 

(4) 2009 impairment loss of $1,700 (net of noncontrolling interest and deduction of 2008 impairment of $4,286) not recognized for tax. 2008 impairment loss includes 100% of mezzanine loans (principal & accrued interest) for redevelopment of the retail complexes associated with seven public rest stops along the toll roads in and around Chicago, Illinois. Deducted for income tax purposes in 2009. Includes difference between bad debt allowance and bad debts deducted for income tax purposes.

 

(5) Recognition of the taxable gain has been deferred for five years pursuant to Code Section 108(i).

20. Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments. Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, and Other Liabilities — the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investments — as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has determined the estimated fair values of its preferred equity investments and notes receivable were $126.4 million and $122.3 million, respectively, by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated at the reporting date.

Derivative Instruments — the fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.

Mortgage Notes Payable and Notes Payable — As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has determined the estimated fair values of its mortgage notes payable, including those relating to discontinued operations, were $751.0 million and $731.8 million, respectively, by discounting future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage notes payable would be originated at the reporting date.

ASC Topic 815 “Derivative and Hedging”, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by ASC Topic 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2009, none of the Company’s hedges were ineffective.

21. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to common shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each year consistent with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. 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. In accordance with GAAP, all Common Shares used to calculate EPS have been adjusted to reflect a special dividend paid on January 30, 2009, which resulted in the issuance of approximately 1.3 million additional Common Shares. 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 15) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling 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 9) is not reflected in the table above as such conversion based on the market price of the Common Shares would be effected with only cash. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 Series A Preferred OP Units for the year ended December 31, 2009 would be dilutive and they are included in the table. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 Series A Preferred OP Units and 41,696 Series B Preferred OP Units for the year ended December 31, 2007 would be dilutive and they are included in the table.

23. Commitments and Contingencies

Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.

The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems that may exist. Where a Phase II assessment is so recommended, a Phase II assessment is conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.

The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2008, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyn’s LLC (“Mervyns”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This lawsuit involves five claims alleging fraudulent transfers. The first claim is that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation to a consortium of investors including Acadia, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. The Company believes this aspect of the case is without merit. There are four other claims relating to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims. The matter is in the early stages of discovery and the Company believes the lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or consolidated financial condition.

The Company has arranged for the provision of four separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2009, there were no outstanding balances under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $9.7 million.

24. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2009 through the time of filing this Form 10-K with the SEC on March 1, 2009. Material subsequent events that have occurred since December 31, 2009 are discussed below.

On January 12, 2010, the Company closed on a $48.0 million construction loan on its Canarsie Plaza redevelopment project. The loan bears interest equal to the greater of (a) LIBOR plus 4% or (b) an interest rate floor of 6.5% and matures on January 12, 2012.

On February 16, 2010, Klaff converted all 250,000 Restricted Common OP Units into 250,000 Common Shares (Note 11).
