NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)



1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the "Trust") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of high-quality retail properties located in key street and urban retail corridors as well as suburban locations within high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.

All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2014, the Trust controlled approximately 94% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest ("Common OP Units" or "Preferred OP Units") and employees who have been awarded restricted OP units ("LTIP Units") as long-term incentive compensation (Note 12). 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 September 30, 2014, the Company has ownership interests in 84 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either wholly owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds (the "Core Portfolio"). The Company also has ownership interests in 54 properties within its four opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("Fund I"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC ("Fund II"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC ("Fund III") and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC ("Fund IV" and together with Funds I, II and III, the "Funds"). The 138 Core Portfolio and Fund properties consist of commercial properties, which are primarily high-quality urban and/or street retail properties, community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component. Fund I and Fund II also include investments in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC ("Mervyns I"), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC ("Mervyns II") and, in certain instances, directly through Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property Initiative ("RCP Venture").

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, redevelopment, leasing and legal services. Cash from the Funds and RCP Venture is distributed pro-rata to the respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return ("Preferred Return"), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership ("Promote") and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership).

Following is a table summarizing the general terms and the Operating Partnership's equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns I and II:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Notes:

(1) Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all capital and preferred return. The Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all future cash distributions.
(2) During 2013, a distribution of $47.1 million was made to the Fund II investors, including the Operating Partnership. This amount is subject to recontribution to Fund II until December 2016, if needed to fund the on-going development and construction of existing projects.
(3) Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests' shares.


Basis of Presentation

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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. 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. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2014.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Real Estate

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held-for-sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to dispose. Management does not believe that the carrying values of any of its properties are impaired as of September 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." ASU 2014-12 provides explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments that require a specific performance target to be achieved which may be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. ASU 2014-12 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

During May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the standard will be adopted in 2017.

During April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment; Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 modifies the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the amendments in ASU 2014-08, the definition of discontinued operation has been modified to only include those disposals of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 shall be applied prospectively for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The Company has adopted this standard on a prospective basis for transactions that have occurred after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


2.    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At September 30, 2014, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 12) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.

Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit ("Restricted Share Units") and share option awards issued under the Company's Share Incentive Plans (Note 12). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Conversely, the assumed conversion of these would be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable is not included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

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

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 4.3 million Common Shares under its at-the-market ("ATM") equity program, generating gross proceeds of $116.5 million and net proceeds of $114.9 million.

The net proceeds from the Company's ATM equity programs have been, and are anticipated to be, used by the Company primarily to fund acquisitions directly in the Core Portfolio and through its capital contributions to the Funds.

In connection with the acquisition of a property, the Company issued 1.4 million Common OP Units.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in entities consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements that the Company does not own. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from shareholders' equity, and include third party interests in the Company’s Funds and other entities. It also includes interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 2,863,331 and 1,457,467 Common OP Units at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013; and (iii) 675,367 and 496,047 LTIP Units at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Prior to the Company's adoption of ASU 2014-08, it reported properties held for sale or sold during the periods presented as discontinued operations. The results of discontinued operations are reflected as a separate component within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. As of September 30, 2014, Sheepshead Bay, a Fund III asset, which was previously reported as a discontinued operation was sold. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the sale of operating real estate is no longer considered a discontinued operation so long as it is in the normal course of business and does not reflect a separate component of business. Therefore, the Company has no current assets or liabilities of discontinued operations.

The combined assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the properties classified as discontinued operations are summarized for each period presented as follows:

5.    INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads"), a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio") and a 22.22% interest in an approximately 20,000 square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center"). As the Company does not maintain financial or operational control, these investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Funds

RCP Venture

The Funds, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. 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 September 30, 2014, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores ("Mervyns") and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments ("Add-On Investments"). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively "Other RCP Investments"). The Company accounts for its investments in Mervyns and Albertsons on the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control. The Company accounts for its investments in its Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments on the cost method as it does not have any influence over such entities' operating and financial policies nor any rights with respect to the control and operation of these entities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received distributions from Rex Stores of $1.2 million, Mervyns I of $0.7 million and Mervyns II of $0.8 million, of which the Operating Partnership's aggregate share was $0.5 million.

Other Fund Investments

During 2014, Fund IV, entered into a joint venture (the "Broughton Street Portfolio") with an unaffiliated entity, to acquire and operate properties located in Savannah, Georgia. Fund IV invested $7.8 million of equity and made a loan commitment of up to $69.0 million of which $25.9 million was funded to the joint venture as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the joint venture had acquired 24 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $33.9 million.

In addition, Fund IV, through a joint venture with an unaffiliated entity, purchased a shopping center in Bear, Delaware for $25.4 million.

During the third quarter of 2014, an unconsolidated joint venture between Fund III and an unaffiliated entity sold three properties located on Lincoln Road in Miami, Florida for an aggregate sales price of $141.8 million. In addition, an unconsolidated joint venture between Fund IV and an unaffiliated entity sold three properties located on Lincoln Road in Miami, Florida for an aggregate sales price of $200.2 million during the third quarter of 2014. The sales of the Fund III and Fund IV Lincoln Road portfolios resulted in gains of $86.7 million and $54.6 million, respectively.

The unaffiliated partners in Fund II's investment in Albee Tower I Owners, Fund III's investments in Parkway Crossing, Arundel Plaza and the White City Shopping Center as well as Fund IV's investments in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, Eden Square and the Broughton Street Portfolio, maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

Self-Storage Management, a Fund III investment, was determined to be a variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to this joint venture and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of this venture is not required. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

9.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:
(dollars in thousands)

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also has assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As these assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, they are not included in the table above. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations (Note 4).

Financial Instruments

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities meet the definition of financial instruments. Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of the following financial instruments within Level 2 of the hierarchy by discounting future cash flows utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar financial instruments would be originated at the reporting date:

11.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. 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 Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/managing member of the Funds are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Structured Financing represents the Company's investments in notes receivable and preferred equity. The following tables set forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and does not include unconsolidated affiliates:

12.    LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

On February 28, 2014, the Company issued a total of 326,230 LTIP Units and 918 Restricted Share Units to officers of the Company and 10,527 Restricted Share Units to other employees of the Company pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the "Share Incentive Plan"). Vesting with respect to these awards is generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 16% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures. Unvested LTIP Units provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments (Note 2).

On March 31, 2014 , the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Kenneth Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer, and issued an additional 114,198 LTIP Units which are subject to a five-year vesting period.

These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date. Fair value was established as the market price of the Company's Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date. The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of their respective grant dates was $11.9 million, of which $0.5 million was recognized as compensation expense in 2013, and $11.4 million will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.6 million and $1.6 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to these awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4.6 million and $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On June 4, 2014, the Company issued 17,118 Restricted Shares and 1,518 LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 6,276 of the Restricted Shares and 1,518 of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 10,842 of the Restricted Shares 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. Trustee fee expense of $0.08 million and $0.12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to this issuance.

Total Trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned issuance, was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the "Program") pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote or Fund IV Promote when and if such Promotes are ultimately realized. The Company has awarded all of the units under the Program related to the Fund III Promote and 10% of the units related to the Fund IV Promote. These units were determined to have no value at issuance or as of September 30, 2014. 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.

13.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During October 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the Shops at Grand Avenue, located in Queens, New York for a purchase price of $56.0 million.

During October 2014, Fund IV completed the acquisition of 27 E. 61st Street located in Manhattan, New York for a purchase price of $19.3 million.

During October 2014, Fund IV completed the acquisition of 17 E. 71st Street located in Manhattan, New York for a purchase price of $28.0 million.

During October 2014, the Company completed a public share offering of approximately 3.9 million Common Shares for $116.3 million. Net proceeds after expenses were approximately $114.8 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and for each of the three and nine months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto ("Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").

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, 2013 (our "2013 Form 10-K") and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development, acquisition and investment; risks related to our use of leverage; demands placed on our resources due to the growth of our business; risks related to operating through a partnership structure; our limited control over joint venture investments; the risk of loss of key members of management; uninsured losses; REIT distribution requirements and ownership limitations; concentration of ownership by certain institutional investors; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

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

Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located in key street and urban retail corridors as well as suburban locations within high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive redevelopment and re-anchoring activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the industry asset class in terms of net operating income sustainability and growth.

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2014, we operated 138 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio and Funds. These properties primarily consist of urban/street retail locations and suburban neighborhood and community shopping centers in densely populated metropolitan areas located primarily along the East Coast and in Chicago.


28


Core Portfolio

Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties we either entirely own, or partially own in joint ventures, through the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Funds. There are 84 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling 4.2 million square feet. As of September 30, 2014, the Core Portfolio physical occupancy was 96.0% and leased occupancy, which includes executed leases for which rent has not yet commenced, was 97.0%.

Funds

Fund I has three properties totaling 0.1 million square feet.
Fund II has five properties, three of which (representing 0.3 million square feet) are operating, one of which is under construction, and one of which is in the design phase.
Fund III has 13 properties, ten of which (representing 1.6 million square feet) are operating and three of which are in various stages of redevelopment.
Fund IV has 33 properties, seven of which (representing 0.9 million square feet) are operating and 26 of which are in the design phase.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in our 2013 Form 10-K, with the exception of the early adoption of ASU 2014-08.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of the significant variances and primary factors contributing thereto within our results of operations are addressed below. Where there were no significant variances from period to period, the information in the following tables is presented without further discussion:

These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million from the sale of the A&P Shopping Center ("2013 Core Disposition") and 2014 Core Dispositions. Rental income in the Funds increased $8.0 million primarily as a result of additional rents of $4.8 million from 2013 Fund Acquisitions and $3.2 million from Fund Re-tenanting.

Expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased $1.7 million primarily as a result of the 2013 and 2014 Core Acquisitions and reimbursement of higher winter related operating costs in 2014. Expense reimbursements in the Funds increased $1.3 million primarily as a result of the 2013 Fund Acquisitions and reimbursement of higher winter related operating costs in 2014.

Other income in the Funds decreased $1.9 million in 2014 primarily due to the income recognized from the collection of a note receivable during 2013, which had been previously written off. Other income in Structured Financing increased $2.5 million as a result of the collection of two notes for which reserves had been established prior to 2014.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds increased $102.4 million primarily as a result of the gain on sale of our investments in the Fund III and Fund IV Lincoln Road Portfolios.

Impairment of asset in the Core Portfolio represents a charge related to Walnut Hill during 2013.

Gain on disposition of property in the Core Portfolio during 2014 represents the gain on the foreclosure of the Walnut Hill Plaza (See Note 4).

Interest expense in the Core Portfolio increased $2.2 million as a result of (i) a $3.2 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings during 2014, (ii) a decrease of $1.2 million in capitalized interest during 2014 and (iii) a $0.5 million increase in market rate adjustments of assumed debt interest expense during 2014. These increases were offset by a $2.7 million decrease in interest expense related to lower average interest rates during 2014. Interest expense in the Funds decreased $1.7 million as a result of a $4.0 million increase in capitalized interest related to our City Point redevelopment project during 2014 and a $1.0 million decrease related to lower average interest rates during 2014. These decreases were offset by a $3.1 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings during 2014.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold during 2013 and 2014.

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests - Continuing operations primarily represents the noncontrolling interests' share of all the Funds' variances discussed above.

CORE PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE

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

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

Same-property NOI includes properties in our Core Portfolio that we owned for both the current and prior periods presented, but excludes those properties which we acquired, sold or expected to sell, and redeveloped during these periods. We define a redevelopment property as an asset that is being repositioned in its market or undergoing significant renovation. Redevelopment activities involve taking a substantial portion of leasable space temporarily out of service and typically include structural work, demising of existing space and/or facade renovation. The following table summarizes same-property NOI for our Core Portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

The increases in Same-Property NOI in the Core Portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily attributable to contractual rent increases and occupancy gains.

The following table summarizes rent spreads on both a cash basis and straight-line basis for new and renewal leases based on leases executed within our Core Portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cash basis represents a comparison of rent most recently paid on the previous lease as compared to the initial rent paid on the new lease. Straight-line basis represents a comparison of rents as adjusted for contractual escalations, abated rent and lease incentives for the same comparable leases.

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, impairment of depreciable assets 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.

34


It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 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 property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio and the funding of our capital committed to the Funds, (iii) distributions to our Fund investors and (iv) debt service and loan repayments.

Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and LTIP Unit holders totaling $14.4 million and $41.5 million, respectively, which were funded from the Operating Partnership's share of operating cash flow.

Distributions of $126.3 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund III during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Of this, $5.9 million was made from operating cash flows, $93.7 million was from proceeds following the disposition of property, and $26.7 million resulted from financing proceeds.

Distributions of $73.8 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund IV during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Of this, $71.3 million was from the proceeds following the disposition of property, and $2.5 million resulted from financing proceeds.

Distributions to other noncontrolling interests within Fund joint ventures totaled $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Investments

Core Portfolio

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired eight properties for an aggregate purchase price of $243.7 million. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments. We have a current acquisitions pipeline under contract aggregating $154.4 million of Chicago and New York street retail, which is subject to customary closing conditions, and, as such, no assurance can be given that we will successfully close on this pipeline.

Our Core Portfolio redevelopment and re-anchoring programs focus on selecting well-located street retail locations and suburban shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2013, we initiated the re-anchoring of a former A&P supermarket location at our Crossroads Shopping Center. The re-anchoring is substantially completed. Costs associated with this redevelopment have aggregated $8.8 million to date.

Structured Financings

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made five note receivable and preferred equity investments aggregating $22.5 million. We also increased an existing note investment by an additional $1.0 million. See Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for an overview of our notes receivable.

Funds

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Fund IV acquired 25 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $59.2 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $13.7 million. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments.

As part of our Fund investment strategy, we acquire real estate assets that require significant redevelopment. As of September 30, 2014, we had seven redevelopment projects, one of which is under construction and six of which are in various stages of development as follows:

Debt Service and Loan Repayments

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repaid two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $17.5 million. In addition, the Company made scheduled amortization payments totaling $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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 September 30, 2014, management has remaining authority to repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity include (i) the issuance of both Common Shares and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds III and IV of $82.4 million and $322.6 million, respectively, (iv) future sales of existing properties and (v) cash on hand of $131.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and future cash flows from operating activities.

Issuance of Equity

During May 2014, we filed a universal, unlimited shelf registration on Form S-3. The registration is active through May 2017 and allows the Company to issue Common Shares, Preferred Shares, debt securities, and other securities with no restrictions on the amount.

During 2014, we have issued 4.3 million Common Shares under our at-the-market ("ATM") equity program for net proceeds of $114.9 million. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our ATM equity program.

During October 2014, we completed a public share offering of approximately 3.9 million Common Shares for $116.3 million. Net proceeds after expenses were approximately $114.8 million.

Fund Capital

During the first nine months of 2014, capital contributions received from noncontrolling interests in our Funds totaled $31.5 million. As of September 30, 2014, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests in our Funds totaled $405.0 million. See Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Fund capital activity.

Asset Sales

In April 2014, we closed on the sale of Fund III's Sheepshead Bay property for $20.2 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $4.0 million. In addition, during June 2014, we completed the sale of the air rights for the development of one of the market-rate housing towers at Fund II's City Point project ("Tower 2"). Net proceeds collected at closing for this disposition, were $12.4 million. In addition, $13.7 million of the purchase price was deferred and is anticipated to be collected over the next 18 months. In July 2014, we completed the sale of undeveloped land in New Castle, Pennsylvania for $0.4 million. In August 2014, we completed the sale of six unconsolidated properties within Fund III and Fund IV for $342.0 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $35.7 million. See Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our asset dispositions.

We currently have one Fund II asset under contract for sale for $32.0 million.

Structured Financing Repayments

See Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for an overview of our notes receivable and preferred equity investments, and for payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

37



Debt Financings

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received loan proceeds of $94.7 million, net of repayments of $134.3 million. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the transactions related to mortgage loans, bond financing and credit facilities completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, mortgages, convertible notes and other notes payable aggregated $1,139.8 million, net of unamortized premium of $1.3 million, and the mortgages were collateralized by 41 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness, convertible notes and other notes payable ranged from 1.00% to 7.25% with maturities that ranged from November 2014 to April 2023. Taking into consideration $191.5 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $814.7 million of the mortgages, convertible notes and other notes payable, or 71.5%, was fixed at a 5.02% weighted average interest rate and $325.1 million, or 28.5% was floating at a 1.92% weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2014. There is $20.0 million of debt maturing in 2014 at a weighted average interest rate of 7.25%. In addition, there is $2.0 million of scheduled principal amortization due in 2014. As it relates to the maturing debt in 2014, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature.

Note:

(1) Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we refinanced the loan secured by the Crossroads Shopping Center. The new $67.5 million loan replaced the existing $57.4 million loan. The new loan bears interest at 3.94% and matures September 30, 2024.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of two separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of September 30, 2014, there was no outstanding balance under the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the maximum amount of our exposure would be $12.5 million.

In addition to our derivative financial instruments, one of our unconsolidated affiliates is a party to two separate interest rate LIBOR swaps with a notional value of $28.3 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 5.56% and expire in December 2017. Our pro-rata share of the fair value of such affiliates' derivative liabilities totaled $1.3 million at September 30, 2014.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flows for 2014 compared to 2013 is as follows:

Operating Activities

The increase of $20.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the following:

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from operating activities:

Additional cash of $17.2 million used during 2013 to fund prepaid ground rent for Fund II's City Point project
Additional net operating income during 2014 from Core and Fund Property acquisitions

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

A reduction in net operating income from Core and Fund Property dispositions during 2014

Investing Activities

The decrease of $101.2 million in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following:

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

An increase of $188.9 million in proceeds from disposition of properties of unconsolidated affiliates during 2014, primarily attributable to the Lincoln Road Portfolios
An increase of $19.4 million in proceeds from sales of properties during 2014

Items which contributed to an increase in cash used in investing activities:

A decrease of $57.8 million in return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates during 2014
An increase of $25.5 million used in redevelopment and improvement of properties during 2014 primarily attributable to the redevelopment of Fund II's City Point project
An increase of $23.5 million used in the issuance of notes receivable during 2014

Financing Activities

The $66.0 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the following:

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

An increase of $182.9 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests during 2014
An increase of $6.9 million in dividends paid to Common Shareholders during 2014

Items which contributed to an increase in cash from financing activities:


42


An additional $68.7 million in mortgage debt proceeds, net of principal payments and funding of a restricted cash account during 2014
An increase of $38.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares, net of costs during 2014
A decrease of $8.9 million in payments of deferred financing costs during 2014
An increase of $7.8 million in capital contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2014


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, convertible notes and other 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, convertible notes and other debt.

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of September 30, 2014, we had total mortgage debt, convertible notes and other notes payable of $1,139.8 million, net of unamortized premium of $1.3 million, of which $814.7 million or 71.5% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $325.1 million or 28.5% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2014, we were a party to 12 interest rate swap transactions and four interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $191.5 million and $139.9 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $20.0 million and $262.1 million will become due in 2014 and 2015, 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 $2.8 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $0.8 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2014 would increase by $3.3 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $0.7 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.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.    Other Information

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

During July 2013, a lawsuit was brought against us relating to the 2011 flood at Mark Plaza by Kmart Corporation in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, State of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit alleges a breach of contract and negligence relating to landlord responsibility for damages incurred by the tenant as a result of the flood. The tenant is seeking damages in excess of $9.0 million. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit.

In December 2013, in connection with Phase 2 of the City Point Project, Albee Development LLC ("Albee") and a non-affiliated construction manager were served with a Summons With Notice as well as a Demand for Arbitration by Casino Development Group, Inc. ("Casino"), the former contractor responsible for the excavation and concrete work at the City Point Project. Albee terminated the contract with Casino for cause prior to completion of the contract. The plaintiff is seeking approximately $8.5 million. Albee believes that it has meritorious defenses to, and is prepared to vigorously defend itself against the claims. Presently, the parties are before the New York State Supreme Court in Kings County on procedural matters; Albee's position is that Casino waived any right to arbitrate. As the case is in the early stages of litigation, the outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, during August 2009, we terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the "Former Employee") for engaging in conduct that materially violated the Company's employee handbook. The Company decided that the behavior fell within the definition of "cause" in his severance agreement with us and therefore did not pay him anything thereunder. The Former Employee brought a lawsuit against us in New York State Supreme Court (the "Court"), in the amount of $0.9 million alleging breach of the severance agreement. On August 7, 2014, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company, as defendant, and against plaintiff, the Former Executive, finding that his conduct in fact and law, constituted “cause” under his severance agreement. Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal but has not yet perfected his appeal.  The Company continues to believe that termination was justified for ”cause” and that it will be successful on appeal.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The most significant risk factors applicable to us are described in Item 1A. of our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to those previously-disclosed risk factors.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
