1.         ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of June 30, 2010, the Trust controlled approximately 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common 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”).

As of June 30, 2010, the Company has ownership interests in 34 properties within its core portfolio (“Core Portfolio”) and 44 properties within its three opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, L.P. (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III” and together with Fund I and Fund II, the “Opportunity Funds”). The 78 properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, self-storage and mixed-use properties with a retail component. In addition, the Company also invests in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”) and Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) or Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise the Company’s Retailer Controlled Property initiative (“RCP Venture”). The Operating Partnership has the following equity interests in the Opportunity Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II:

 
Entity
Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership
 
 
Fund I and Mervyns I
22.2%
 
 
Fund II and Mervyns II
20.0%
 
 
Fund III
19.9%
 

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


Basis of Presentation

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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2010.

1.         ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 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.

In 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.

In 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.

2.          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. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per Common Share from continuing operations for the periods indicated are as follows:

Diluted earnings per Common Share from continuing operations attributable to Common Shareholders
  $ 0.32     $ 0.18     $ 0.45     $ 0.45  

The weighted average shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share include unvested restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) and restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) (Note 13) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not reflected in the table above as such conversion based on the current market price of the Common Shares would be settled with cash. The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares is dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 as reflected above.

3.         NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in entities that it consolidates. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from the Company’s equity.

Noncontrolling interests include third party interests in the Company’s Opportunity Funds and other entities. It also include interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 369,639 and 626,606 Common OP Units at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

4.         ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Acquisitions

Prior to June 30, 2010, the Company, through Fund II, and an unaffiliated joint venture 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. A June 30, 2010 third-party appraisal valued CityPoint at $108 million which resulted in Fund II recording a non-cash gain of approximately $33.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. 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 as of June 30, 2010. As CityPoint is currently in the redevelopment stage, there are no revenues or earnings from CityPoint included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Discontinued Operations

The Company reports properties held-for-sale and properties sold during the periods as discontinued operations. The results of operations, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are reflected as a separate component within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented.

There were no properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010. During 2009, the Company sold Blackman Plaza and six of the remaining Fund I investments in 24 Kroger and Safeway supermarket locations. The combined results of operations of the properties classified as discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

Core Portfolio

Brandywine Portfolio

The Company owns a 22.2% interest in a 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

During January of 2004, the Company formed the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc., through a limited liability company (“KLA”), for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The Company has invested in the RCP Venture through Mervyns I and Mervyns II or Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. Through June 30, 2010, the Company has 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, the Company has invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertson’s under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control. The Company accounts for the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments under the cost method due to its minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over KLA’s operating and financial policies.

The following table summarized the Company’s RCP Venture investments from inception through June 30, 2010:

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. 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 4 and, as a result, now consolidates the CityPoint entity.

Fund III Investments

Fund III, together with an unaffiliated partner, has 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.  This entity was determined to be a variable interest entity of which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary.  As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

7.         DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of seven interest rate LIBOR swaps with an aggregate notional value of $78.8 million, which fix interest at rates from 0.9% to 5.1% and mature between July 2010 and November 2012. The fair value of the net derivative liability of these instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totals $3.5 million at June 30, 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 mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, unrealized losses totaling $3.5 and $3.7 million, respectively were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges, hedges of net investments in foreign operations or considered to be ineffective. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.


8.          MORTGAGE LOANS

The Company completed the following transactions related to mortgage loans and credit facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2010:

i) Closed on a $48.0 million construction loan that bears interest at the greater of (a) LIBOR plus 400 basis points or (b) an interest rate floor of 6.50% which  matures on January 12, 2012. As of June 30, 2010, $10.0 million was drawn on this facility.

ii) Extended the Fund II subscription line of credit, which is collateralized by a pledge of investors’ unfunded capital commitments, that was scheduled to mature on 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. The line of credit’s maximum capacity was reduced to $40.0 million and will decrease to $30.0 million in September 2010.

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

iv) Also during February of 2010, the Company made a $15.0 million payment on an outstanding $30.0 million credit facility collateralized by six properties.

v) During May of 2010, the Company made a $17.0 million draw on the Fund III subscription line of credit. As of June 30, 2010, the total outstanding amount on this line of credit was $156.5 million.

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

8.          MORTGAGE LOANS (continued)

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

On April 1, 2010, a $30.0 million loan, collateralized by a Fund II property located on 161st Street in the Bronx, NY, matured. The lender disputed the Company’s notice of the exercise of its one year extension option and refused to grant the extension request and issued a Notice of Event of Default and Demand for Payment with which the Company disagreed. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Company successfully negotiated an amendment and extension of the loan. 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.

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued $115.0 million of convertible notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Through June 30, 2010, the Company has purchased $65.0 million in face amount of its convertible debt at an average discount of approximately 19%. The outstanding Convertible Notes face amount as of June 30, 2010 was $50.0 million.


10.        FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB’s fair value measurements and disclosure guidance requires the valuation of certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy. Market 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 June 30, 2010:

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

The Company earns asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction fees for providing services to an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests in which Klaff has an interest. Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12.        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 tables set forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

13.        LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

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

On March 1, 2010, the Company issued 257,116 LTIP Units to officers of the Company.  Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the next five annual anniversaries of the issuance date.  The vesting on 23% of these awards is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures.

Also on March 1, 2010 and March 10, 2010, the Company issued a total of 16,473 Restricted Shares and 9,812 LTIP Units, respectively, to employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is recognized ratably over the next five annual anniversaries of the issuance date.  The vesting on 8% of these awards is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures.

The total value of the above Restricted Shares and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $4.7 million.  Compensation expense of $0.2 and $0.5 million has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these awards for the three month and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $2.0 million for each six month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

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 next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively, from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares vesting. Trustee fee expense of $0.1 million has been recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to these unrestricted Common Shares and Restricted Shares.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units to primarily 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 June 30, 2010, the Company has awarded units representing 61% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance.  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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the three and six months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors are set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (our “2009 Form 10-K”) and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, including the current post-recessionary period, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development, acquisition and investment; risks related to our use of leverage; demands placed on our resources due to the growth of our business; risks related to operating through a partnership structure; our limited control over joint venture investments; the risk of loss of key members of management; uninsured losses; REIT distribution requirements and ownership limitations; concentration of ownership by certain institutional investors; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

As of June 30, 2010, we operated 78 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our three Opportunity Funds. These 78 properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, self-storage and mixed-use properties with a retail component. The properties we operate are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. Excluding 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, seven of which (representing 1.2 million square feet) are currently operating, one is under construction, and two are 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 14 properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 0.9 million net rentable square feet are self-storage facilities. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from these 78 properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity style, as opposed to real estate, investments.  Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate but investments in operating businesses, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

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

–  
Own and operate a Core Portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street retail located in markets with strong demographics and generate internal growth within the Core Portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and/or leasing activities
–  
Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth
–  
Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions. These transactions may include other types of commercial real estate besides those which we invest in through our Core Portfolio. These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Includes fees earned by us as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds that are eliminated in consolidation. These fees are adjusted in noncontrolling interests. The net balance reflected in the table represents third party fees that are not eliminated in consolidation.  Reference is made to Note 12 to the Notes to  Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of our five  reportable segments.

The decrease in rental income in the Core Portfolio primarily related to tenant vacancies at Third Avenue and the Acme Supermarkets at the Marketplace at Absecon. The increase in rental income in the Storage Portfolio primarily related to the full amortization of acquired lease intangible costs during 2009.

The decrease in property operating expenses in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to additional tenant receivable reserves in 2009.  The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio related to two self storage properties placed in service during  the second quarter 2009 as well as additional tenant receivable reserves in 2010.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.5 million in the Opportunity Funds primarily as a result of the redetermination of the dates for development assets being placed in service.

The $2.4 million in Other expense related to the abandonment of project costs in 2009 which were attributable to our determination that we most likely would not participate in a specific future development project. In addition, Other expense included a reserve for notes receivable of $1.7 million in 2009 due to the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property.

Total interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased by $0.4 million in 2010.  This was the result of a $0.8 million decrease attributable to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2010 offset by a $0.4 million increase attributable to higher average interest rates in 2010. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $0.9 million in 2010. This was the result of an increase of $0.6 million due to higher average interest rates in 2010 and $0.3 million of lower capitalized interest in 2010.  Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $0.5 million in 2010.  This was attributable to an increase of $0.2 million due to higher interest rates in 2010 and a $0.3 million decrease in capitalized interest in 2010.

The $33.8 million gain on bargain purchase was attributable to Fund II’s purchase of CUIP’s membership interest in CityPoint in 2010. Reference is made to Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of the CityPoint acquisition.

The gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.9 million was attributable to the purchase of our convertible debt at a discount in 2009.
 
(Income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries – Continuing operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above.

Includes fees earned by us as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds that are eliminated in consolidation. These fees are adjusted in noncontrolling interests. The net balance reflected in the table represents third party fees that are not eliminated in consolidation.  Reference is made to Note 12 to the Notes to  Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of our five  reportable segments.

The decrease in rental income in the Core Portfolio primarily related to tenant vacancies at Third Avenue and the Acme Supermarkets at the Marketplace at Absecon. 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 $0.6 million and additional rents at Fordham Place and Pelham Manor for leases that commenced in 2009 (“Fordham and Pelham”). The increase in rental income in the Storage Portfolio primarily related to the full amortization of acquired lease intangible costs during 2009 as well as increased occupancy at properties in initial lease up.

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

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

The decrease in property operating expenses in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to additional tenant receivable reserves in 2009. The increase in property operating expenses in the Opportunity Funds was primarily the result of the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fordham and Pelham.  The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio related to two storage properties  placed in service during the second quarter 2009 as well as additional tenant receivable reserves in 2010.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was attributable to the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Fordham and Pelham.

The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to reduced compensation expense following staff reductions in 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds primarily related to the reduction in Promote expense attributable to Fund I.  The increase in general and administrative expense in Notes Receivable and Other primarily related to the elimination of the Fund I Promote expense for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.

Depreciation expense and amortization expense increased $1.3 million in the Opportunity Funds in 2010 primarily as a result of the factor previously discussed for the three months and the 2009 Fund Acquisition.

The $2.4 million in Other expense related to the abandonment of project costs in 2009 which were attributable to our determination that we most likely would not participate in a specific future development project. In addition, Other expense included a reserve for notes receivable of $1.7 million in 2009 related to the establishment of a reserve for a note receivable due 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 our pro-rata share of losses from Mervyns in 2009.

Total interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $1.3 million in 2010.  This was the result of a $1.7 million decrease attributable to lower average outstanding borrowings in 2010 offset by a $0.4 million increase attributable to higher average interest rates in 2010. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $1.9 million in 2010. This was the result of an increase of $0.5 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2010, an increase of $0.5 million due to higher average interest rates in 2010 and $0.9 million of lower capitalized interest in 2010.  Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $1.1 million in 2010.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition, we define funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income attributable to Common Shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of operating property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Opportunity Funds and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, and (iii) debt service and loan repayments, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $7.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively.
 
Investments

Fund I and Mervyns I

During 2001, we formed a partnership, Fund I, and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Mervyns I, with four institutional investors with $90.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all invested capital and accumulated preferred return thus triggering our Promote in all future Fund I and Mervyns I earnings and distributions. As of June 30, 2010, $86.6 million has been invested in Fund I and Mervyns I, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $19.2 million.

As of June 30, 2010, Fund I currently owns, or has ownership interests in, 20 assets comprising approximately 0.9 million square feet as follows:

Fund II and Mervyns II
 
During 2004, we, along with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors, formed Fund II, and Mervyns II with $300.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. To date, Fund II’s primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the Retailer Controlled Property Venture. As of June 30, 2010, $247.6 million has been invested in Fund II, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $49.5 million.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative

In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A 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.

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 existing 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.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investment

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

Property Redevelopment and Expansion

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

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 June 30, 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 investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion, re-tenanting and RCP Venture investments, are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities, (iii) additional 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 $24.3 million to fund redevelopment projects and pay down the line of credit of Fund II.

As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $104.9 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $78.9 million.

Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity

During April 2009, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. 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, the Sterling Heights Shopping Center was sold for $2.3 million. During November 2009, we sold Blackman Plaza for $2.5 million. During February 2009, The Kroger Co. purchased the fee at six locations in Fund I’s Kroger/Safeway Portfolio for $14.6 million of which Fund I’s share of the sales proceeds amounted to $8.1 million after the repayment of the mortgage debt on these properties.

Notes Receivable and Mezzanine Loan Repayments

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

Financing and Debt

At June 30, 2010, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $809.5 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $1.6 million, and were collateralized by 29 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 0.80% to 7.38% with maturities that ranged from September 2010 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $78.8 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $434.5 million of the portfolio, or 53.7%, was fixed at a 5.57% weighted average interest rate and $375.0 million, or 46.3% was floating at a 3.24% weighted average interest rate. There is $102.4 million of debt maturing in 2010 at weighted average interest rates of 2.41%.  Of this amount, $1.1 million represents scheduled annual amortization.  The loans relating to $35.3 million of the 2010 maturities provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise.  If we are unable to extend these loans and refinance the balance of $67.1 million, we believe we will be able to repay this debt with existing liquidity, including unfunded capital commitments from the Opportunity Funds’ investors.  As it relates to maturities after 2010, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.  Given the current lack of liquidity in the credit markets and the current economic environment, which may cause us to lose tenants or not secure new tenants for existing centers or projects under development, refinancing this debt will be very difficult.  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” in our 2009 Form 10-K.

The line of credit’s maximum capacity was reduced to $40.0 million and will decrease to $30.0 million in September 2010.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have a noncontrolling interest. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income and loss from but not the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.

Reference is made to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. Our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt related to these investments is as follows:

Pro-rata share of

  $ 67.2              


In addition, we have arranged for the provision of three separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of June 30, 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 our exposure would be $9.1 million.

HISTORICAL CASH FLOW

The following table compares the historical cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (“2010”) with the cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (“2009”)

Total
  $ (14.9 )   $ 21.0     $ (35.9 )

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2010 versus 2009 is as follows:

The $8.2 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in other assets associated with the redemption of short term financial instruments in 2009.

The decrease of $66.3 million in net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from a decrease of $75.2 million in expenditures for real estate, development and tenant installations in 2010. This decrease in cash used was offset by $9.5 million in proceeds from property sales in 2009.

The $94.0 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was attributable to $137.2 million of additional cash provided by borrowings in 2009 and proceeds from the 2009 stock offering of $65.2 million, net of costs. These 2010 cash decreases were offset by the following: (i) $46.6 million of cash used for the purchase of convertible notes in 2009, (ii) $41.6 million of additional cash used for the repayments of mortgage notes in 2009, and (iii) $19.5 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests in 2010.

INFLATION

Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2010, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $809.5 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $1.6 million, of which $434.5 million or 53.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $375.0 million, or 46.3% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or commercial paper rates plus certain spreads. As of June 30, 2010, we were a party to seven interest rate swap transactions to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $78.8 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $102.4 million and $380.2 million will become due in 2010 and 2011, respectively. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $4.8 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 $1.6 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of June 30, 2010 would increase by $3.8 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.6 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.
