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 the 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, 2010, the Trust controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners 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 currently 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 pro-rata return based 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”), in which the investors, including the Operating Partnership, committed a total of $90.0 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is 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 they earned a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and of all capital contributions were returned.

4


Fund I investors have received a return of all of their capital invested in Fund I and Mervyns I and their Preferred Return. Accordingly, all cash flow is now distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote and 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership). 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.

As of December 31, 2010, there were 20 assets comprising approximately 0.9 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, 2010, $265.2 million of Fund II’s and Mervyns II’s capital was invested and the balance of $34.8 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, which are more fully described below.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

During September of 2004, through Fund II, we launched our New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative. We believe that retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, and we have 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”)

During 2004, through Funds I and II or affiliates thereof, 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 RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company. These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to us. The initial size of the RCP Venture was expected to be approximately $300.0 million in equity, of which our share would be $60.0 million. Based on the investment opportunities, the size of the RCP Venture could be and was expanded. Mervyns I and II and Fund II have invested a total of $62.2 million in the RCP Venture to date on a non-recourse basis. 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. 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 investment is distributed to the participants until they have received a 10% cumulative return on and a full return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). As the participants have received a return of all of their capital invested and their unpaid cumulative return, all cash flow is now distributed 20% to Klaff as Klaff’s Promote and then 80% to the partners. 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 services in reviewing potential acquisitions and operating and redevelopment assistance in areas where we have both a presence and expertise. We continue to seek to invest opportunistically with the RCP Venture primarily in any of the following four ways:

 

 

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

5



 

 

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

Our RCP Venture investments are 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 $502.5 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 agreement. The terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as Fund I and Fund II with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of December 31, 2010, $96.5 million of Fund III’s capital was invested. To date, Fund III has invested in 15 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 notes receivable, preferred equity investments, other real estate interests and other investments. As of December 31, 2010, our notes receivable investments aggregated $89.2 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 24% with maturities that range from demand notes to January 2017.

Capital Strategy — Balance Sheet Focus and Access to Capital

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 as discussed below 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. Through December 31, 2010, we purchased $65.2 million in principal amount of the Notes, 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 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.

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

6


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 supply constrained 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 2010, 2009 and 2008 we sold two non-core properties and redeployed capital to acquire one retail property as further discussed in “—ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” below in this Item 1.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

RCP Venture

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 Mervyns consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. Our share of this investment was $23.2 million. Subsequent to the initial acquisition of Mervyns, we made additional investments of $2.9 million. To date, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio. In addition, during November 2007, we sold our interest in, and as a result, have no further investment in OPCO. Through December 31, 2010, we have received distributions from this investment totaling $46.0 million.

Through December 31, 2010, we, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”) in Mervyns totaling $6.5 million and have received distributions totaling $1.7 million.

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 our share was $20.7 million. Through December 31, 2010, we have received distributions from this investment totaling $77.1 million, including $11.4 million received in 2010.

Through December 31, 2010, we, through Mervyns II, made Add-On Investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $1.2 million.

Other RCP Investments

Through December 31, 2010, we, through Fund II, made investments of $1.1 million in Shopko, $0.7 million in Marsh, and $2.0 million in Add-On Investments in Marsh. As of December 31, 2010, we have received distributions totaling $1.7 million from our Shopko investment and $2.6 million from our Marsh and Marsh Add-On Investments.

During July of 2007, the RCP Venture acquired a portfolio of 87 retail properties from Rex Stores Corporation (“Rex”), in which we invested through Mervyns II. Our share of this investment was $2.7 million. As of December 31, 2010, we have received distributions from Rex totaling $0.8 million.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

As of December 31, 2010, we had ten New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative projects. Construction is substantially complete at seven of the projects, one is under construction and two 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 30% occupied. Acadia-P/A’s total cost of the project was approximately $134.0 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 $64.0 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 $10.0 million, representing approximately half of their cost of construction. The retail center is currently 91% leased 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 (“NYC”), which was a tenant at another of our New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative projects, to this location. Acadia-P/A’s total cost for the project, which also includes a 100-space rooftop parking deck, was 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. Construction of approximately 30,000 square feet of retail anchored by a CVS drug store and a 98,500 square foot self-storage facility is complete and Acadia-P/A’s total cost 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 83% 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 $17.4 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/Infill Redevelopment Initiative 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 $22.0 million.

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 included the construction of a 279,000 square foot mixed-use project consisting of retail and office. The total cost of the redevelopment, including acquisition costs, was approximately $90.0 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. Construction was substantially complete in November 2010 and the property is 85% leased. The project is anchored by BJ’s Wholesale Club and the New York City Police Department.

Under Construction

CityPoint — During June of 2007, Acadia-P/A and an unaffiliated joint venture partner, California Urban Investment Partners, LLC (“CUIP”) 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. On June 30, 2010, Acadia-P/A acquired all of CUIP’s interest in CityPoint for a total consideration of $9.2 million and the assumption of CUIP’s share of debt of $19.6 million. The development will proceed in three phases. Construction has commenced on Phase 1, a four-story retail building of approximately 50,000 square feet. Phase 2 will consist of approximately 500,000 square feet of additional retail. Phase 2 is also expected to contain an affordable and market-rate residential component. Phase 3 is anticipated to be a stand-alone mixed use, but primarily residential building, of approximately 700,000 square feet.

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 NYC and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for a purchase price of

8


$25.0 million. During 2007 we relocated NYC to Acadia-P/A’s 216th Street redevelopment as discussed above and closed the parking garage. We are currently reviewing various alternatives to redevelop the site to include retail and office components.

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-level community shopping center.

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 February 2011, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a 64,600 square foot single tenant retail property located in Silver Springs, Maryland, for approximately $9.8 million.

During February 2011, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a three property portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for an aggregate purchase price of $51.9 million with $20.6 million of in-place mortgage financing assumed at closing. The Portfolio consists of three street-retail properties, aggregating 61,000 square feet, and is located in South Miami Beach, Florida.

During December 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, purchased the White City Shopping Center for $56.0 million. The operating property is a 255,000 square foot shopping center located in Shrewsbury, MA.

During June 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity formed for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties, including the 14 locations currently owned through Fund II and Fund III. To date, Fund III has invested $2.1 million in this entity.

During January 2009, we purchased Cortlandt Towne Center for $78.0 million. The operating property is a 641,000 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. Redevelopment efforts have commenced, at an estimated cost of $8.4 million, with the execution of a lease with Gap Inc. to anchor the property. Gap is anticipated to open in the second half of 2011.

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.

Notes Receivable, Preferred Equity 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% and matures on June 30, 2011.

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 September 2010, this investment was fully liquidated. The Operating Partnership received $40.0 million of invested capital along with $9.4 million of accrued preferred return. The Operating Partnership has an additional Georgetown loan receivable of $8.0 million, collateralized by a 5 property portfolio.

During July 2008, the Operating Partnership made a $34.0 million mezzanine loan, which is collateralized by an interest in a mixed-use retail and residential development at 72nd 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.

During March 2010, Fund I sold the Sterling Heights Shopping Center for $2.3 million. The proceeds from the sale along with Fund I’s recourse obligation of $0.6 million were used to fully liquidate the outstanding loan obligation.

During February 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.

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 REITs, 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 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.

CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES

Our executive offices are located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, and our telephone number is (914) 288-8100. As of December 31, 2010, we had 116 employees, of which 92 were located at our executive office and 24 were located at regional property management offices. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that its relationship with employees is good.

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 (“going dark”) as would 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 (“co-tenancy”). See “Item 2. Properties—Major Tenants” for quantified information with respect to the percentage of our minimum rents received from major tenants.

12


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.

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, including the health of the consumer. The U.S. economy recently experienced a financial downturn, with a decline in consumer spending, credit tightening and high unemployment. This economic downturn has had, and may continue to have, an adverse affect on 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. 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 is limited, it would also adversely impact our notes receivable 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 a shopping 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, 2010, there has been one significant tenant bankruptcy within our portfolio:

On December 12, 2010, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (“A&P”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. A&P operates in four locations in our Core Portfolio, totaling approximately 198,000 square feet. Rental revenues from A&P at these locations totaled $3.5 million, $3.4 million, and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, A&P operates in one Fund III location, totaling approximately 65,000 square feet. Rental revenues from A&P at this location totaled $1.0 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. A&P has availed itself of the statutory maximum time to assume or reject these leases which is July 10, 2011. With respect to two of these leases, A&P has received a bankruptcy court order to close the two locations on or around April 15, 2011 and to exit the locations on or around April 30, 2011.

There are risks relating to investments in real estate.

Real property investments are subject to multiple risks. 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. 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 rent our vacant space to viable tenants on economically favorable terms. 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 even though there may be a reduction in income from the investment.

13


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 is 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 to support 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.

Interest expense on our variable rate debt as of December 31, 2010 would increase by $4.4 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, primarily through interest rate swaps but can use 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 future 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 REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that we wish to pay. 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 leading 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 38% 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 occurs.

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 are pursuing extensive growth opportunities. This expansion places 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. In addition, the 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 the properties.

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

14


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 incurring 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. 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.

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.

Exclusivity obligation to our Opportunity Funds.

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 with limited exceptions. We may only pursue opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers directly if (i) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Fund III would create a material conflict of interest for us; (ii) we require the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; or (iii) 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.

Risks of joint ventures.

Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, and that our partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT. 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.

Any disputes that may arise between joint venture partners and us may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party joint venture partners.

During 2010, 2009 and 2008, 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.

These factors could limit the return that we receive from such investments or cause our cash flows to be lower than our estimates. In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture.

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

15


executive level employees.

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

Our Board of Trustees may determine to change 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, the results of decisions made by our Board of Trustees and implemented by management may or 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 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 REITs 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

16


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.

Concentration of ownership by certain investors.

Six institutional shareholders own 5% or more individually, and 53.8% 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 executives 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 REITs 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 REITs 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 REITs by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares.

Our development and construction activities could affect our operating results.

We intend to continue the selective development and construction of retail properties. As opportunities arise, we expect to delay construction until sufficient pre-leasing is reached and financing is in place. Our development and construction activities include risks that:

 

 

 

 

We may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;

 

Construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates;

 

Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable;

 

Financing for development of a property may not be available to us on favorable terms;

 

We may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; and

 

We may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations.

Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may not realize a significant cash return for several years. If any of the above events occur, the development of properties may hinder our growth and have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, new development activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

Redevelopments and acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.

Our investment strategy includes the redevelopment and acquisition of shopping centers in supply contained markets in densely populated areas with high average household incomes and significant barriers to entry. The redevelopment and acquisition of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:

 

 

 

 

the property may fail to achieve the returns we have projected, either temporarily or for extended periods;

 

we may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties we identify;

 

we may not be able to integrate an acquisition into our existing operations successfully;

17



 

 

 

 

properties we redevelop or acquire may fail to achieve the occupancy or rental rates we project, within the time frames we project, at the time we make the decision to invest, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns we projected;

 

our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs or decrease cash flow from the property; and

 

our investigation of a property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition cost.

Climate change and catastrophic risk from natural perils.

Some of our current properties could be subject to potential natural or other disasters. We may acquire properties that are located in areas which are subject to natural disasters. Any properties located in coastal regions would therefore be affected by any future increases in sea levels or in the frequency or severity of hurricanes and tropical storms, whether such increases are caused by global climate changes or other factors.

Climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in the average weather conditions or a change in the distribution of weather events with respect to an average, for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.

There may be significant physical effects of climate change that have the potential to have a material effect on our business and operations. These effects can impact our personnel, physical assets, tenants and overall operations.

Physical impacts of climate change may include:

 

 

 

 

Increased storm intensity and severity of weather (e.g., floods or hurricanes);

 

Sea level rise; and

 

Extreme temperatures.

 

 

 

As a result of these physical impacts from climate-related events, we may be vulnerable to the following:

 

 

 

Risks of property damage to our shopping centers;

 

Indirect financial and operational impacts from disruptions to the operations of major tenants located in our shopping centers from severe weather, such as hurricanes or floods;

 

Increased insurance premiums and deductibles, or a decrease in the availability of coverage, for properties in areas subject to severe weather;

 

Increased insurance claims and liabilities;

 

Increase in energy cost impacting operational returns;

 

Changes in the availability or quality of water, or other natural resources on which the tenant’s business depends;

 

Decreased consumer demand for consumer products or services resulting from physical changes associated with climate change (e.g., warmer temperatures or decreasing shoreline could reduce demand for residential and commercial properties previously viewed as desirable);

 

Incorrect long term valuation of an equity investment due to changing conditions not previously anticipated at the time of the investment; and

 

Economic disruptions arising from the above.

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, could reduce our revenues and affect our 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

18


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.

Future terrorist attacks or civil unrest could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties.

Future terrorist attacks or civil unrest, such as the attacks that occurred in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, could harm the demand for, and the value of, our properties. Terrorist attacks could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs, and the availability of insurance for such acts may be limited or may be subject to substantial cost increases. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their ability to continue to honor obligations under their existing leases could be adversely affected. A decrease in retail demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. These acts might erode business and consumer confidence and spending, and might result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets and economies. Any one of these events might decrease demand for real estate, decrease or delay the occupancy of our properties, and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital.

Outages, computer viruses and similar events could disrupt our operations.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, some of which are owned and operated by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information. Any of these systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks and similar events. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems and those of third parties on which we rely may also be vulnerable to computer viruses and similar disruptions. If we and the third parties on whom we rely are unable to prevent such outages and breaches, our operations could be disrupted.

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, 2010, excluding two properties under redevelopment, there are 32 operating properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 4.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“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 and as of December 31, 2010, were, in total, 92% occupied.

As of December 31, 2010, we owned and operated 27 properties totaling 2.5 million square feet of GLA in our Opportunity Funds, excluding five properties under redevelopment. 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 13 states and as of December 31, 2010, were, in total, 87% occupied.

Within our Core Portfolio and Opportunity Funds, we had approximately 550 leases as of December 31, 2010. 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 85% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Certain of our 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 less than 1% of the total 2010 revenues of the Company.

Four of our Core Portfolio properties and 21 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 and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all 25 locations.

No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. 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, 2010:

SELF-STORAGE PORTFOLIO

During February 2008, we, through Fund III, acquired a 95% controlling interest in 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. The fourteen self-storage property portfolio, located throughout New York and New Jersey, totals 1,127,490 net rentable square feet, and is operating at various stages of stabilization as detailed in the table below. The portfolio is operated by Self Storage Management, a joint venture entity formed by Fund III and an unaffiliated partner.

KROGER/SAFEWAY PORTFOLIO

At December 31, 2010, 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 $3.70 to $7.00 per square foot. The master leases expire in January 2011 with the Master Lessee having the option of extending the term of either or both of the master leases. The Master Lessee exercised the option to cancel the master lease in the first quarter of 2011. As a result, the Kroger/Safeway JV became the operating landlord of the locations. The Kroger/Safeway JV holds its interest through 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. Of the remaining 18 locations, 15 are currently occupied and paying rent, one is unoccupied and paying rent, and two remain vacant.

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 exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

During 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, consolidated financial condition, or liquidity.

During August 2009, we terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the “Former Employee”) for engaging in conduct that fell within the definition of “cause” in his severance agreement with us. Had the Former Employee not been terminated for “cause,” he would have been eligible to receive approximately $0.9 million under the severance agreement. Because we terminated him for “cause,” we did not pay the Former Employee any severance benefits under the agreement. The Former Employee has brought a lawsuit against us in New York State Supreme Court, alleging breach of the severance agreement. The suit is in the pre-trial discovery stage. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the suit.

ITEM 4. REMOVED AND RESERVED.

At February 28, 2011, there were 309 holders of record of our Common Shares.

We have determined for income tax purposes that 100% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders during 2010 represented ordinary income. The dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was paid on February 1, 2011 and will be taxable in 2011. 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 year ended December 31, 2010.

(c) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 8% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 Plan. The 2003 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 4% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan. The 2006 Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum number of 500,000 Common Shares. No participant may receive more than 500,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2006 Plan. We have also issued LTIP Units, which are generally exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for our Operating Partnership Units which in turn are convertible into Common Shares.

(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, 2005 through December 31, 2010 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, 2005, 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 relates to 2007 and represents our share of an extraordinary gain from our investment in Albertson’s. We consider this to be a private-equity style investment in an operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from this investment is included in FFO, which we believe provides a more accurate reflection of our operating performance.

33



 

 

(2)

We consider 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 our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by 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 our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define 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, we 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, 2010, 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 20 properties comprising approximately 0.9 million square feet. Fund II has 10 properties, eight of which (representing 1.2 million square feet) are currently operating, one is under construction, and one is in the design phase. Three of the properties also include self-storage facilities. We expect the Fund II portfolio will have approximately 2.0 million square feet upon completion of all current construction and anticipated redevelopment activities. Fund III has 15 properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 0.9 million net rentable square feet are self-storage facilities and one is in the design phase. 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 currently 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. Although the occupancy and net operating income within our portfolio has not been materially adversely affected through December 31, 2010, 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 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)

Fees earned by us as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in consolidation and adjust the loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests and are not reflected above. The balance reflected in the table represents third party fees that are not eliminated in consolidation.

The decrease in rental income in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to tenant vacancies at Chestnut Hill and Third Avenue. The increase in rental income in the Opportunity Funds primarily related to additional rents following the acquisition of Cortlandt Towne Center (“2009 Fund Acquisition”) of $1.0 million and additional rents at Fordham Place, Pelham Manor and Canarsie for leases that commenced in 2009 and 2010 (“Fund Redevelopment Properties”). The increase in rental income in the Storage Portfolio related to the full amortization of acquired lease intangible costs during 2009, increased occupancy in the Storage Portfolio as well as our discontinued practice of reporting the Storage Portfolio one month in arrears which was based on the historical unavailability of timely financial information. Based on improvements in the Storage Portfolio accounting systems, we report this activity on a current basis. Accordingly, the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects thirteen months of storage activity while the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects twelve months of storage activity (“Storage Portfolio Activity”).

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

Lease termination income in the Core Portfolio for 2009 related to termination fee income received from a former tenant at Absecon Marketplace.

Other in the Core Portfolio in 2009 included $1.7 million resulting from a forfeited sales contract deposit.

Other in the Opportunity Funds during 2009 included $0.9 million received by Fund II in settlement of litigation in connection with a property acquisition.

The decrease in property operating expenses in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense in 2010. The increase in property operating expenses in the Opportunity Funds was primarily attributable to the 2009 Fund Acquisition and Fund Redevelopment Properties. The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio primarily related to higher

35


operating costs in 2010 following increased occupancy as well as the Storage Portfolio Activity.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was primarily attributable to the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fund Redevelopment Properties.

The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to reduced compensation expense following staff reductions in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the Core Portfolio decreased as a result of the write-off of lease intangible costs in connection with a terminated lease in 2009. Depreciation expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $0.3 million as result of the 2009 Acquisition. Amortization expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $2.6 million primarily due to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to refinanced debt in 2010. Depreciation and amortization expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $0.7 million primarily as a result of two self storage properties placed in service during the second quarter 2009.

The $2.5 million abandonment of project costs in the Opportunity Funds in 2009 was attributable to our determination that we most likely would not participate in a specific future development project.

The reserve for notes receivable of $1.7 million in 2009 related to the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds increased primarily as a result of an increase in distributions in excess of basis from our Albertson’s investment of $9.5 million in 2010 and an increase in our pro-rata share of income from Mervyns in 2010. Equity in earnings (losses) in the Self Storage Portfolio represents the pro-rata share of losses from our unconsolidated investment in the newly-formed self storage management company.

The $3.8 million impairment of investment in unconsolidated affiliate during 2009 was the result of the reduction in value of the underlying property due to the recession and the related reduction in Fund I’s carrying value of this investment including a partial guarantee of the mortgage debt.

The $33.8 million gain from bargain purchase was attributable to Fund II’s purchase of an unaffiliated membership interest in CityPoint in 2010. Reference is made to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of this transaction.

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

Total interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $1.6 million in 2010. This was the result of a $2.5 million decrease attributable to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2010 offset by a $0.9 million increase attributable to higher average interest rates in 2010. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $5.0 million in 2010. This was the result of an increase of $2.9 million due to higher average interest rates in 2010, an increase of $1.8 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2010 and $0.3 million of lower capitalized interest in 2010. Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio decreased $0.9 million in 2010. This was

36


primarily attributable to a $1.4 million decrease due to lower average interest rates in 2010. This decrease was offset by $0.3 million of lower capitalized interest in 2010 and an increase of $0.2 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2010.

The variance in the income tax expense in the Core Portfolio primarily related to income taxes at the TRS level for our pro-rata share of income from our Albertson’s investment in 2010.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to property held for sale in 2010 and property sales in 2009.

(Income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries – Continuing operations and Discontinued operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.

Fees earned by us as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in consolidation and adjust the loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests and are not reflected above. The balance reflected in the table represents third party fees that are not eliminated in consolidation.

The increase in rental income in the Opportunity Funds primarily related to additional rents from the 2009 Fund Acquisition of $7.5 million and certain Fund Redevelopment Properties. The increase in rental income in the Storage Portfolio related to the February 2008 acquisition of the Storage Post Portfolio (“Storage Acquisition”) versus a full year of activity for 2009. In addition, the increase in minimum rents in the Storage Portfolio was also attributable to the full amortization of acquired lease intangible costs during 2009.

The increase in mortgage 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.

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 certain Fund Redevelopment Properties.

Lease termination income in the Core Portfolio for 2009 related to a termination fee earned from a tenant at Absecon Marketplace. Lease termination income in the Opportunity Funds for 2008 related to a termination fee earned, net of costs, from a tenant 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.

Other in the Core Portfolio in 2009 included $1.7 million resulting from a forfeited sales contract deposit.

Other in the Opportunity Funds during 2009 included $0.9 million received by Fund II in settlement of litigation in connection with a property acquisition.

The increase in property operating expenses in the Opportunity Funds was primarily the result of the 2009 Fund Acquisition and certain Fund Redevelopment Properties. The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio related to the Storage Acquisition.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was primarily attributable to the 2009 Fund 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 related to the reduction in Promote expense attributable to Fund I and Mervyns I. The increase in general and administrative expense in Other primarily related 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 $2.0 million in the Opportunity Funds primarily due to the 2009 Fund Acquisition and certain Fund Redevelopment Properties. Depreciation expense and amortization expense increased $1.4 million in the Storage Portfolio primarily as a result of the Storage Acquisition. 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 was attributable to our determination that we most likely would not participate in a specific future development project.

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

Equity in earnings (losses) 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 impairment of investment in unconsolidated affiliate during 2009 was the result of the reduction in value of the underlying property due to the recession and the related reduction in Fund I’s carrying value of this investment including a partial guarantee of the mortgage debt.

38


Other interest income decreased in 2009 as a result of lower cash balances during the year and lower average interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.

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

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 $2.7 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 2009. Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $1.6 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 average interest rates in 2009.

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

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

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

(Income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries – Continuing operations and Discontinued operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.

We consider 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 our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by 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 our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define 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)

This item represents our share of an extraordinary gain from our investment in Albertson’s, which recorded an extraordinary gain in connection with the allocation of purchase price to assets acquired. We consider this to be a private-equity style investment in an operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from this investment are included in FFO, which we believe provides a more accurate reflection of our operating performance.

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, 2010, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $29.7 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.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

40


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 mixed-use real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area which include a retail component. To date P/A has invested $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance.

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

Other Fund III Investments

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 institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. The properties are located throughout New York and New Jersey.

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.

During December 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired the 255,200 square foot White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for $56.0 million.

During February 2011, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a three property portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for an aggregate purchase price of $51.9 million with $20.6 million of in-place mortgage financing assumed at closing. The Portfolio consists of three street-retail properties, aggregating 61,000 square feet, and is located in South Miami Beach, Florida.

During February 2011, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a 64,600 square foot single tenant retail property located in Silver Springs, Maryland, for approximately $9.8 million.

Notes Receivable

At December 31, 2010, our notes receivable, net aggregated $89.2 million, with accrued interest thereon of $7.6 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 notes receivable ranged from 10.0% to 24.0% with maturities through January 2017.

During December 2009, we made a loan for $8.6 million which bears interest at 14.5% and matures on June 30, 2011.

Other Investments

Acquisitions made during 2010, 2009 and 2008 are discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K:

Core Portfolio Property Redevelopment and Expansion

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

Purchase of Convertible Notes

Purchases of the Notes has been 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, 2010, 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 potential 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 $325.2 million for Fund III and (v) future sales of existing properties.

During 2010, Fund II received capital contributions of $41.9 million to fund redevelopment projects and partially pay down a line of credit facility.

42


As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $120.6 million and $103.9 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities.

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. In March 2010, we sold the Sterling Heights Shopping Center, which was owned through Fund I, for $2.3 million. 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, we sold six locations in our 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. These sales are discussed in “ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Repayment

Reference is made to Note 5 in our Consolidated Financial Statements, which begin on Page F-1 of this Form 10-K, for an overview of our notes receivable and preferred equity investment. During 2010, the following payments were received on these investements:

During April 2010, we received a $2.1 million first mortgage loan payment.

During September 2010, we received the full repayment of our $40.0 million preferred equity investment, which was secured by a portfolio of 18 properties located in Georgetown, Washington D.C., along with $9.4 million of preferred return.

Financing and Debt

At December 31, 2010, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $854.9 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million, and unamortized discount of $1.1 million, and were collateralized by 29 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 0.86% to 7.34% with maturities that ranged from March 2011 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $71.5 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $415.0 million of the portfolio, or 49%, was fixed at a 5.7% weighted average interest rate and $439.9 million, or 51% was floating at a 3.4% weighted average interest rate. There is $385.7 million of debt maturing in 2011 at weighted average interest rates of 2.8%. Of this amount, $4.8 million represents scheduled annual amortization. The loans relating to $159.7 million of the 2011 maturities provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise. As it relates to maturities, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness and, as such, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have noncontrolling interests. 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:

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of three separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2010 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 $9.1 million.

In addition to our derivative financial instruments, one of our unconsolidated affiliates, White City, was a party to an interest rate LIBOR swap with a notional value of $20 million, which effectively fixes the interest rate at 5.5% and expires in December 2017. Our pro-rata share of the fair value of the derivative liability totaled $0.1 million at December 31, 2010.

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, 2010, 2009 and 2008, no impairment losses on our properties were recognized. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2010.

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, 2010 and 2008.

45


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, 2010 and 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $7.5 million and $7.0 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.

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” and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” 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

46


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, 2010

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, 2010, we had total mortgage and convertible notes payable of $854.9 million of which $415.0 million, or 49% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $439.9 million, or 51%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2010, 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 $71.5 million and $28.9 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively. In addition, one of our unconsolidated partnerships was a party to an interest rate swap transaction with respect to $20.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2010 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

$384.6 million of our total consolidated debt and $0.1 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due in 2011. $53.4 million of our total consolidated debt and $0.5 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2012. 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 $4.4 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 $1.5 million. Interest expense on our variable debt of $439.9 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of December 31, 2010 would increase $4.4 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, 2010, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $12.6 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 $13.8 million.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had notes receivable and preferred equity investments of $89.2 million and $125.2 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable and preferred equity investments as of December 31,

47


2010 and 2009 were $90.6 million and $126.4 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.

Based on our outstanding notes receivable and preferred equity investments balances as of December 31, 2010, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable and preferred equity investments would decrease by approximately $0.5 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable and preferred equity investments would increase by approximately $0.5 million.

Summarized Information as of December 31, 2009

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 interest rate swaps, and $341.1 million, or 44%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR 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.

Interest expense on our variable debt of $341.1 million as of December 31, 2009 would have increased $3.4 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2009, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $18.3 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 $20.5 million.

Changes in Market Risk Exposures from 2009 to 2010

Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 has increased, as we had $341.1 million in variable-rate debt (or 44% of our total debt) at December 31, 2009, as compared to $439.9 million (or 51% of our total debt) in variable-rate debt at December 31, 2010. In addition, the amount of our total debt increased from $780.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $854.9 million at December 31, 2010. 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, 2010 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, 2010 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, 2010 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 USA, 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, 2010, which appears in paragraph (b) of this Item 9A.

Acadia Realty Trust

(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, 2010, 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, 2010, 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, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 and our report dated February 28, 2011 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, 2010 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, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. 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, 2010, and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, 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.

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, 2010, 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 February 28, 2011 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, 2010, 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, 2010, the Trust controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners 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.”

The Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and formed 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, 2010, 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 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote and 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership). 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.

The Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and 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, 2010, the Operating Partnership had contributed $45.4 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.

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 $502.5 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, 2010, 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 has control in accordance Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“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 losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income.

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Principles of Consolidation, continued

Variable interest entities are accounted for within the scope of ASC Topic 810 and are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could be significant to the variable interest entity. 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”.

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 years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, impairment charges related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures were $0.0 million, $3.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

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 and the real estate is ready for its intended use. 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” and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and

F-10

Real Estate, continued

Other”, and allocates acquisition price based on these assessments. Fixed-rate renewal options have been included in the calculation of the fair value of acquired leases. To the extent there were fixed-rate options at below-market rental rates, the Company included these along with the current term below-market rent in arriving at the fair value of the acquired leases. The discounted difference between contract and market rents is being amortized over the remaining applicable lease term, inclusive of any option periods. 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, 2010, 2009 and 2008, no impairment losses were recognized. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2010.

Sale of Real Estate

The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with ASC Topic 970 “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 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 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 is entitled to take possession of the space. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, included in rents receivable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $17.1 million and $12.7 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, 2010 and 2009 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

F-11


ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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 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. Management believes that the balance of notes receivable are collectible as of December 31, 2010.

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. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed the federally insured limit by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow

Restricted cash and cash in escrow consist principally of cash held for real estate taxes, construction costs, 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.

The Company accounts for TRS income taxes under the liability method as required by ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between GAAP 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 will recognize potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock 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 of grant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which provided certain changes to the evaluation of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) including requiring a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE, continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. Under the new standard, the primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which provides for new disclosures, as well as clarification of existing disclosures on fair value measurements. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 “Receivables (ASC Topic 310) Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties and Discontinued Operations

A. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties

Acquisitions

On December 23, 2010, the Company, through Fund III in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired White City Shopping Center, a 255,000 square foot center located in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for $56.0 million.

Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company, through Fund II in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, California Urban Investment Partners, LLC (“CUIP”), owned a leasehold interest in CityPoint, a mixed-use, redevelopment project located in downtown Brooklyn, New York. Fund II owned a 75% interest in the retail component, a 50% interest in the office component and no interest in the residential component of CityPoint. CUIP owned the remaining interests in the retail and office components and 100% of the residential component of the project. Accordingly, Fund II’s investment represented 24.75% of the overall original acquisition cost and subsequent carry and pre-development costs and was accounted for using the equity method.

On June 30, 2010, Fund II acquired all of CUIP’s interest in CityPoint for $9.2 million (the “Transaction”), consisting of a current payment of $2.0 million and deferred payments, potentially through 2020, aggregating $7.2 million. Fund II also assumed CUIP’s share of the first mortgage debt, $19.6 million.

The Transaction was a business combination achieved in stages, and as a result, Fund II was required to report its entire investment in CityPoint at fair market value. Based on a June 30, 2010 third-party appraisal, CityPoint was valued at $108.0 million which resulted in Fund II recording a non-cash gain from bargain purchase of approximately $33.8 million. A majority of the gain was attributable to the components of CityPoint that was acquired as the book value of the Company’s original investment approximated fair value. The Operating Partnership’s share of this gain, net of the noncontrolling interests’ share, totaled $6.3 million.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company changed its method of accounting for CityPoint from the equity method and now consolidates CityPoint in its consolidated financial statements.

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, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

4. Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates

Core Portfolio

Brandywine Portfolio

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

Crossroads

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

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

The Company along with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc., formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company (“LLC”). These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to the Company. Investments under the RCP Venture are structured as separate joint ventures as there may be other investors participating in certain investments in addition to Klaff, Lubert-Adler and Acadia. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the “Acadia Investors”), all on a non-recourse basis. Through December 31, 2010, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores (“Mervyns”) and Albertson’s including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).

Mervyns Department Stores

Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, the Company invested in a consortium to acquire Mervyns consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. The Company’s share of this investment was $23.2 million. Subsequent to the initial acquisition, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made additional investments of $2.9 million. 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. Through December 31, 2010, the Company has received distributions from this investment totaling $46.0 million.

Through December 31, 2010, the Company, through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, made Add-On Investments in Mervyns totaling $6.5 million and have received distributions totaling $1.7 million.

Albertson’s

The RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods, of which the Company’s share was $20.7 million. Through December 31, 2010, the Company has received distributions from this investment totaling $77.1 million, including $11.4 million received in 2010.

Through December 31, 2010, the Company, through Mervyns II, made Add-On Investments in Albertson’s totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $1.2 million.

Other Opportunity Fund Investments

Fund I Investments

Fund I owned a 50% interest in the Sterling Heights Shopping Center, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2009, Fund I recorded an impairment reserve of $3.7 million related to this investment. On March 25, 2010, the Sterling Heights Shopping Center was sold for $2.3 million. The proceeds from this sale together with the balance of Fund I’s recourse obligation of $0.6 million were used to fully liquidate the outstanding mortgage loan obligation.

Fund II Investments

Fund II had a 24.75% interest in CityPoint, a redevelopment project located in downtown Brooklyn, NY, which was accounted for under the equity method. On June 30, 2010, Fund II acquired the remaining interests in the project from its unaffiliated partner, as discussed in Note 2 and, as a result, now consolidates the CityPoint investment.

Fund III Investments

On December 23, 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired the 255,200 square foot White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for $56.0 million. Fund III has an 84% interest in the property. The unaffiliated joint venture partner will maintain control over this entity, and as such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

During June 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties, including the 14 locations currently owned through Fund II and Fund III. Fund III has a 50% interest in the entity. This entity was determined to be a variable interest entity for which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

8. Mortgages Payable

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, mortgage notes payable, excluding the net valuation premium on the assumption of debt, aggregated $806.1 million and $732.2 million, respectively, and were collateralized by 29 and 28 properties and related tenant leases, respectively. Interest rates on the Company’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 0.86% to 7.34% with maturities that ranged from March 2011 to November 2032. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions. The loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of debt service coverage and leverage ratios.

The following reflects mortgage loan activity for the year ended December 31, 2010:

i) During January 2010, the Company closed on a $48.0 million construction loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 400 basis points, subject to an interest rate floor of 6.50% which matures on January 12, 2012. As of December 31, 2010, $40.2 million was drawn on this facility.

ii) During March 2010, the Company extended the Fund II subscription line of credit, which was collateralized by a pledge of investors’ unfunded capital commitments, from March 1, 2010 to March 1, 2011 and adjusted the interest rate from LIBOR plus 250 basis points to LIBOR plus 325 basis points. In connection with the extension, the Company made an $8.2 million payment on the outstanding $48.2 million line of credit and the line of credit’s maximum capacity was reduced to $40.0 million. During December 2010, the line of credit was extended further to December 22, 2014 and the interest rate reduced to LIBOR plus 290 basis points. This modification also requires principal reductions to (a) $15.0 million on October 31, 2013, (b) $11.3 million on February 1, 2014, (c) $7.5 million on May 1, 2014, and (d) $3.8 million on August 1, 2014. Additionally, a Company guarantee has replaced the unfunded capital commitments of the investors as collateral for this loan and the Company has agreed to maintain various restrictive covenants.

iii) During February of 2010, the Company paid off an outstanding line of credit balance of $2.0 million, which was collateralized by a property and scheduled to mature on March 29, 2010 and terminated the line of credit.

iv) During 2010, the Company made payments of $29.0 million on an outstanding $30.0 million credit facility collateralized by six properties.

v) During 2010, the Company made draws of $32.0 million on the Fund III subscription line of credit. As of December 31, 2010, the total outstanding amount on this line of credit was $171.5 million.

vi) During May of 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $2.0 million on an existing mortgage loan collateralized by a property.

vii) During July 2010, the Company amended and extended a $30.0 million loan, collateralized by a Fund II property located on 161st Street in the Bronx, NY. The agreement required a $1.1 million payment on the outstanding principal balance and extended the maturity date to April 1, 2013. The interest rate has been adjusted retroactively to LIBOR plus 400 basis points for the period April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, LIBOR plus 550 basis points for the period April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012, and LIBOR plus 600 basis points for the period April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.

viii) During July of 2010, the Company closed on a $20.0 million bond financing that bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% that is due November 1, 2042 and has a mandatory put date of November 1, 2014.

ix) During August of 2010, the Company amended and extended the maturity date of a $25.9 million loan that was scheduled to mature in August of 2010. In connection with the release of a portion of the collateral for this loan, the Company was required to pay down the principal by $5.3 million. The amendment provided for a three year extension of the loan maturity date to August 12, 2013 with two one-year extension options.

x) Also during August of 2010, the Company completed an amendment of a $31.7 million construction loan. Previously, the servicer, on behalf of the lender of this loan, had previously alleged that non-monetary defaults had occurred, however it has subsequently agreed to dismiss all allegations of default. The loan continued to bear interest at 7.38% and had a maturity date of January 1, 2020. During December 2010, the Company closed on a new $34.0 million loan and used the proceeds to pay off this construction loan. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points and matures on December 1, 2013. $31.6 million of the loan was funded at the closing and an additional $2.4 million was available for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

xi) During September of 2010, the Company amended and extended the maturity date of a $10.5 million loan that was scheduled to mature during September 2010. The amendment required a $0.5 million principal pay down and provided for a one year extension of the loan maturity date to September 1, 2011 with a one year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus 325 basis points.

xii) During June 2009, the servicer, on behalf of the lender of one of the Company’s loans alleged that a non-monetary default had occurred on an $11.5 million construction loan collateralized by Atlantic Avenue. The servicer alleged that the Company did not substantially complete the improvements in accordance with the required completion date as defined in the loan agreement and, accordingly, did not meet the requirements for the final draw. During October 2010, the Company and the servicer reached an agreement to amend the loan whereby all alleged events of default were waived.

xiii) During October 2010, the Company modified and extended the maturity date of a $9.8 million loan that was scheduled to mature during October 2010. The amendment required a $1.4 million principal pay down and provided for a one year extension of the loan maturity date to October 31, 2011.

xiv) During October 2010, the Company closed on a $50.0 million loan collateralized by a property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 190 basis points and matures on October 26, 2015. The proceeds of this loan were used to repay the existing $46.6 million mortgage note payable. There is an additional $25.0 million available, based on the property attaining certain debt service coverage ratio levels and the lender being able to syndicate the loan. The second tranche will bear interest at LIBOR plus 230 basis points.

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 15 and December 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes have an effective interest rate of 6.03% giving effect to the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC Topic 470-20”). 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, 2010, 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.

The Convertible Notes if-converted value does not exceed its principal amount as of December 31, 2010 and there are no derivative transactions that were entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.

During 2010, 2009 and 2008 the Company purchased $0.2 million, $57.0 million and $8.0 million in principal 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 principal amount as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $49.8 million and $50.0 million, respectively. The outstanding Convertible Note net carrying amount as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $48.7 million and $47.9 million, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 470-20 which required it to retrospectively restate and reclassify previously disclosed consolidated financial statements to allocate the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt between a debt component and an equity component. 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.

9. Convertible Notes Payable, continued

The carrying amount of the equity component included in additional paid-in capital totaled $1.1 million at December 31, 2010 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2009. Interest expense relating to the contractual interest coupon recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $1.9 million, $2.5 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $1.0 million, $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to the convertible notes payable was $1.0 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, after giving effect to repurchases.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments

The FASB’s derivative and hedging guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by the FASB guidance, 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, 2010, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of seven interest rate LIBOR swaps with an aggregate notional value of $71.5 million, which fix interest at rates from 0.5% to 5.1% and mature between September 2011 and November 2012. The Company also has one derivative financial instrument with a notional value of $28.9 million which caps interest at 6% and matures in April 2013. The fair value of the derivative liability of these instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totals $2.8 million at December 31, 2010. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable rate mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, unrealized losses totaling $2.8 and $3.3 million, respectively were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss. It is estimated that approximately $2.5 million included in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense in the 2011 results of operations.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010, none of the Company’s hedges were ineffective.

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

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010:

11. Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests, continued

Noncontrolling Interests, continued

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 2005, the Company issued 250,000 Restricted Common OP Units to Klaff in consideration for an interest in certain management contract rights. During 2010, Klaff converted the 250,000 Restricted Common OP Units into Common Shares.

The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued in 1999 in connection with the acquisition of a property. Through December 31, 2010, 1,204 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 160,533 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.

12. Related Party Transactions

During February 2010, Klaff converted all 250,000 of its Restricted Common OP Units into 250,000 Common Shares.

In 2008 and 2009 the Company earned asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction fees for providing services to an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests in which Klaff had an interest. Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

The Company earns fees from two of its investments in unconsolidated partnerships (Note 4). The Company earned property management, construction, legal and leasing fees from the Brandywine Portfolio totaling $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company earned property management and development fees from CityPoint totaling $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Lee Wielansky, the Lead Trustee of the Company, was paid a consulting fee of $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

13. Tenant Leases

Space in the shopping centers and other retail properties is leased to various tenants under operating leases that usually grant tenants renewal options and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volume.

Minimum future rentals to be received under non-cancelable leases for shopping centers and other retail properties as of December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:

14. Lease Obligations

The Company leases land at 24 of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $3.7 million, $2.5 million, and $2.3 million (including capitalized ground rent at properties under development of $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $1.1 million) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The leases terminate at various dates between 2020 and 2078. These leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 20 to 60 years. The Company leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2015. Office rent expense under this lease was $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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, 2010, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares had been awarded. In connection with the Awards, to the extent that a portion of senior management’s cash bonus is converted into elective Awards, the number of shares issued are at a 25% discount and vest over time.

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 1, 2010 and March 10, 2010, the Company issued 265,517 LTIP Units and 1,462 Restricted Shares to officers of the Company and 15,011 Restricted Shares and 1,411 LTIP Units to employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting on 23% of the awards issued to officers are also generally subject to achieving 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.

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

The total value of the above Restricted Shares and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $4.7 million. The weighted average fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $16.73, $10.31 and $24.51, respectively.

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above mentioned plans, was $3.8 million, $3.7 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

15. Share Incentive Plan, continued

On May 10, 2010, the Company issued 4,180 unrestricted Common Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. The Company also issued 8,000 Restricted Shares to Trustees, which vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the three anniversaries following 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 $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 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 primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has awarded units representing 61% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of December 31, 2010. In accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 101,283 options outstanding to officers and employees all of which have vested. In addition, 58,000 options have been issued, of which all have vested, to non-employee Trustees. During 2010, 7,000 options were exercised by the Trustees at various exercise prices. As of December 31, 2010, there are 51,000 options outstanding to Trustees of the Company. These options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and vested in three equal annual installments, which began on their respective grant dates.

16. Employee Share Purchase and Deferred Share Plan

As of December 31, 2010, there was $7.4 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, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3.0 million, $5.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

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 2010, 2009 and 2008, 6,184, 8,744 and 7,499 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan. Associated compensation expense of $0.02 million was recorded in 2010 and 2009 and $0.03 million was recorded in 2008.

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 $0.06 million, $0.05 million and $0.4 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, certain trustees elected to receive 14,722 Common Shares, which were previously deferred, from the Trustee Deferral Plan.

17. Employee 401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $16,500 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company contributed $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

18. Dividends and Distributions Payable

On November 9, 2010, the Board of Trustees declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, of $0.18 per Common Share, which was paid on February 1, 2011 to holders of record as of December 31, 2010.

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, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 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.

20. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed using net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per Common Share reflect the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of awards issuable under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans. In accordance with GAAP, all Common Shares used to calculate earnings per Common Share 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 dilutive earnings per share include unvested restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) and restricted OP Units (“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 subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not reflected in the table above as such conversion, based on the market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Series A Preferred OP Units for the year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 would be dilutive and they are included in the table. The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares for the year ended December 31, 2008 would be anti-dilutive and they are not included in the table.

22. 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, results of operations, or liquidity.

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, consolidated financial condition, or liquidity.

During August 2009, the Company terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the “Former Employee”) for engaging in conduct that fell within the definition of “cause” in his severance agreement with the Company. Had the Former Employee not been terminated for “cause,” he would have been eligible to receive approximately $0.9 million under the severance agreement. Because the Company terminated him for “cause,” it did not pay the Former Employee any severance benefits under the agreement. The Former Employee has brought a lawsuit against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, alleging breach of the severance agreement. The suit is in the pre-trial discovery stage. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the suit.

The Company has arranged for the provision of three separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2010, 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 $9.1 million.

23. Subsequent Events

During January 2011, the Company completed the sale of a Fund II leasehold interest in the Neiman Marcus location at Oakbrook Center, located in Oak Brook, Illinois, for $8.2 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $3.9 million.

During January 2011, the Company paid off a $9.3 million loan secured by one of the Company’s properties for $7.5 million, resulting in a $1.8 million gain.

During February 2011, the Company, through Fund III in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a three property portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for an aggregate purchase price of $51.9 million with $20.6 million of in-place mortgage financing assumed at closing. The Portfolio consists of three street-retail properties, aggregating 61,000 square feet, and is located in South Miami Beach, Florida.

During February 2011, the Company, through Fund III in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, acquired a 64,600 square foot single tenant retail property located in Silver Springs, Maryland, for approximately $9.8 million.
