NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

Organization

Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company controlled approximately 95% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and 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 Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has ownership interests in 118 properties within its core portfolio, which consist 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 its funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 64 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V”). Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I,” together with Funds II, III, IV, and V, the “Funds”) was liquidated in 2015. The 182 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invest in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. The Company consolidates the Funds as it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Funds’ economic performance, (ii) is obligated to absorb the Funds’ losses and (iii) has the right to receive benefits from the Funds that could potentially be significant.

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns I and II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns I and II are distributed pro-rata to their 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). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns II (dollars in millions):



Entity	Formation Date	Operating Partnership Share of Capital	Capital Called as of September 30, 2017		Unfunded Commitment		Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership ^(a)	Preferred Return	Total Distributions as of September 30, 2017 ^(b)
Fund II and Mervyns II	6/2004	28.33%	$	347.1	$	—	28.33%	8%	$	131.6
Fund III	5/2007	24.54%	396.7		53.3		39.63%	6%	553.7
Fund IV	5/2012	23.12%	390.7		139.3		23.12%	6%	101.9
Fund V	8/2016	20.10%	—		520.0		20.10%	6%	—

__________


(a)	Amount represents the current economic ownership at September 30, 2017, which could differ from the stated legal ownership based upon the cumulative preferred returns of the respective fund.


(b)	Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests’ shares.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

Segments

At September 30, 2017, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. Each property is considered a separate operating segment; however, each property on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the majority of the aggregations criteria under the applicable standard.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income.

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. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017 and amended on February 27, 2017.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to the Company’s lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, until years beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017. Entities may adopt ASU 2014-09 using either a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of adoption. Management believes the majority of the Company’s revenue falls outside of the scope of this guidance and does not anticipate any significant changes to the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition. The Company intends to implement the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings at the date of application.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. As a lessee, the Company is party to various equipment, ground, and office leases with future payment obligations aggregating $207.7 million at September 30, 2017 (Note 11) for which the Company expects to record right-of-use assets upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard discussed above. The new guidance also requires that internal leasing costs be expensed as incurred, as opposed to capitalized and deferred. The Company expects that it will no longer capitalize a significant portion of internal leasing costs that were previously capitalized. The Company capitalized $0.8 million of internal leasing costs during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. ASU 2016-02 will also require extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures and is effective beginning after December 15, 2018, but early adoption is permitted.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on certain specific cash flow issues, including, but not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and shall be applied retrospectively where practicable. The Company expects to elect the “cumulative distribution approach” whereby distributions received from equity method investments would be classified as cash flows from operations to the extent of equity earnings and then as cash flows from investing activities thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-15, the Company expects to reclassify a portion of its cash flows between investing activities and cash flows from operating activities in its historical presentation of cash flows related to its equity method investments.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies that to be considered a business, the elements must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The new standard illustrates the circumstances under which real estate with in-place leases would be considered a business and provides guidance for the identification of assets and liabilities in purchase accounting. ASU 2017-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. It is expected that the new standard will reduce the number of future real estate acquisitions that will be accounted for as business combinations and, therefore, reduce the amount of acquisition costs that will be expensed. The Company expensed $0.9 million and $5.5 million of acquisition costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). ASU 2017-03 amends certain SEC guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification in response to SEC staff announcements made during 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) meetings which addressed (i) the additional qualitative disclosures that a registrant is expected to provide when it cannot reasonably estimate the impact that ASUs 2014-09, 2016-02 and 2016-13 will have in applying the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M and (ii) guidance in ASC 323 related to the amendments made by ASU 2014-01 regarding use of the proportional amortization method in accounting for investments in qualified affordable housing projects (announcement made at the November 17, 2016, EITF meeting). The adoption of ASU 2017-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which amends the guidance on nonfinancial assets in ASC 610-20. The amendments clarify that (i) a financial asset is within the scope of ASC 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counter-party, (ii) an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counter-party and de-recognize each asset when a counter-party obtains control of it, and (iii) an entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in ASC 606 on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations. Further, ASU 2017-05 provides guidance on accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The



	12

amendments are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU 2014-09. The adoption of ASU 2017-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies the scope of modification accounting with respect to changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Modification accounting would not apply if a change to an award does not affect the total current fair value (or other applicable measurement), vesting conditions, or the classification of the award. For all entities, ASU 2017-09 is effective prospectively for awards modified in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements because the Company has not historically had significant modifications of its awards.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company:


•	issued one Core note receivable and three Fund IV notes receivable aggregating $47.5 million with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 9.8%, which were collateralized by four mixed-use real estate properties;


•	received total collections of $42.8 million, including full repayment of five notes issued in prior periods aggregating $29.6 million; and


•	restructured a $30.9 million Core mezzanine loan, which bore interest at 15.0%, and replaced it with a new $153.4 million loan collateralized by a first mortgage in the borrower’s tenancy-in-common interest. The loan bears interest at 8.1% (Note 4).

At December 31, 2016, one of the Core notes receivable in the amount of $12.0 million was in default; however, no principal reserve was established because the estimated fair value of the real estate collateral exceeded the estimated carrying value of the note. In February 2017, there was an auction pursuant to an Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York for the property which is collateral for this note. The winning bid was in excess of the Company’s carrying value and accrued interest. The sale of this property was approved by Order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of the note issuer and closed during the second quarter of 2017. In connection with this sale, the Company recovered its full carrying value of principal and interest and recognized additional interest income and expense reimbursements of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 upon settlement of this transaction.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its notes receivable on an ongoing basis and considers indicators of credit quality such as loan payment activity, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, the seniority of the Company’s loan in relation to other debt secured by the collateral and the prospects of the borrower.

Earnings from these notes and mortgages receivable are reported within the Company’s Structured Financing segment (Note 12).

(h)	Distributions have exceeded the Company’s investment; however, the Company recognizes a liability balance as it may be required to fund future obligations of the entity.

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 a 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the “Georgetown Portfolio”), an 88.43% tenancy-in-common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois (“840 N. Michigan”), and a 49% interest in an approximately 123,000 square foot retail property located in Manhattan, New York (“Gotham Plaza”).

Acquisition of Unconsolidated Investment

On January 4, 2017, an entity in which the Company owns a 20% noncontrolling interest (the “Renaissance Portfolio”), acquired a 6,200 square foot property in Alexandria, Virginia referred to as (“907 King Street”) for $3.0 million. The Renaissance Portfolio is now a 213,000 square-foot portfolio of 18 mixed-use properties, 16 of which are located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. and two of which are located in Alexandria, Virginia.

Brandywine Portfolio and Brandywine Market Square

The Company owns an interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the “Brandywine Portfolio” joint venture) located in Wilmington, Delaware, which includes a property referred to as “Brandywine Market Square.” Prior to the second quarter of 2016, the Company had a controlling interest in the Brandywine Portfolio, and it was therefore consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. During April 2016, the arrangement with the partners of the Brandywine Portfolio was modified to change the legal ownership from a partnership to a tenancy-in-common interest, as well as to provide certain participating rights to the outside partners. As a result of these modifications, the Company de-consolidated the Brandywine Portfolio and accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective May 1, 2016. Furthermore, as the owners of the Brandywine Portfolio had consistent ownership interests before and after the modification and the underlying net assets are unchanged, the Company has reflected the change from consolidation to equity method based upon its historical cost. The Brandywine Portfolio and Brandywine Market Square ventures do not include the property held by Brandywine Holdings, an entity consolidated by the Company.

Additionally, in April 2016, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $140.0 million of non-recourse debt collateralized by the Brandywine Portfolio and provided a note receivable collateralized by the partners’ tenancy-in-common interest in the Brandywine Portfolio for their proportionate share of the repayment. On May 1, 2017, the Company exchanged $16.0 million of the $153.4 million note receivable (Note 3) plus accrued interest of $0.3 million for one of the partner’s 38.89% tenancy-in-common interests in Brandywine Market Square. The Company already had a 22.22% interest in Brandywine Market Square and continues to apply the equity method of accounting for its aggregate 61.11% noncontrolling interest in Brandywine Market Square and its 22.22% interest in the rest of the Brandywine Portfolio. The incremental investment in Brandywine Market Square was recorded at $16.6 million and the excess of this amount over the venture’s book value associated with this interest, or $9.8 million, will be amortized over the remaining depreciable lives of the venture’s assets.

Fund Investments

Fund III Other Portfolio includes the Company’s investment in Arundel Plaza through its date of sale in February 2017. Fund IV Other Portfolio includes the Company’s investment in Promenade at Manassas and Eden Square as well as 2819 Kennedy Boulevard and 1701 Belmont Avenue through their dates of sale. 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.

Mervyn’s I & II

During July 2017, Mervyn’s I and Mervyn’s II received a total of $1.0 million in distributions from certain investments. The Company had already reduced the carrying amount of its investments in Mervyn’s I and Mervyn’s II to zero, and consequently the entire amount received has been reflected as equity in earnings (losses) and gains of unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statement of income.

Albertson’s

“Other” includes Fund II’s cost method investment in Albertson’s supermarkets among other investments. During July 2017, the Company received $2.3 million in distributions from Albertson’s. The Company reduced the carrying amount of the investment to zero and reflected the remaining $1.9 million as equity in earnings (losses) and gains of unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statement of income.

Dispositions of Unconsolidated Investments

On January 31, 2017, Fund IV completed the disposition of 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, for $19.0 million less $8.4 million debt repayment for net proceeds of $10.6 million, resulting in a gain on disposition of $6.3 million at the property level, of which the Fund’s share was $6.2 million, which is included in equity in earnings and gains from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership’s proportionate share of the gain was $1.4 million, net of noncontrolling interests.

On February 15, 2017, Fund III completed the disposition of Arundel Plaza, for $28.8 million less $10.0 million debt repayments for net proceeds of $18.8 million, resulting in a gain on disposition of $8.2 million at the property level, of which the Fund’s share was $5.3 million, which is included in equity in earnings and gains from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership’s proportionate share of the gain was $1.3 million, net of noncontrolling interests.

On June 30, 2017, Fund IV completed the disposition of 1701 Belmont Avenue, for $5.6 million less $2.9 million debt repayments for net proceeds of $2.7 million, resulting in a gain on disposition of $3.3 million at the property level, of which the Fund’s share was $3.3 million, which is included in equity in earnings and gains from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. The Operating Partnership’s proportionate share of the gain was $0.8 million, net of noncontrolling interests.

On January 28, 2016, Fund III completed the disposition of a 65% interest in Cortlandt Town Center for $107.3 million resulting in a gain of $65.4 million and the deconsolidation of its remaining interest (Note 2). On December 21, 2016, Fund III completed the disposition of its remaining 35% interest in Cortlandt Town Center for $57.8 million less $32.6 million debt repayment for a net sales price of $25.2 million resulting in a gain on sale of $36.0 million, of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $8.8 million, which is included in equity in earnings and gains from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated financial statements.

During October 2017, Fund IV’s Broughton Street Portfolio venture sold several properties (Note 15).

Fees from Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company earned property management, construction, development, legal and leasing fees from its investments in unconsolidated partnerships totaling $0.4 million and $0.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which is included in other revenues in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Company paid to certain unaffiliated partners of its joint ventures, $0.5 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively for leasing commissions, development, management, construction and overhead fees.

6. Lease Intangibles

Upon acquisitions of real estate accounted for as business combinations, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above- and below-market leases, including below- market options and acquired in-place leases) and assumed liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805.

Mortgages Payable

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company obtained nine new non-recourse mortgages totaling $128.3 million with a weighted-average interest rate of LIBOR + 3.43% collateralized by nine properties, which mature between February 14, 2020 and April 1, 2022. The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the variable portion of the interest rates of seven of these obligations with a notional value of $67.3 million at a weighted-average rate of 1.92%. During 2017, the Company repaid six mortgages in full, which had a total balance of $112.5 million and a weighted-average interest rate of 4.76%, and made scheduled principal payments of $5.8 million. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s mortgages were collateralized by 45 and 39 properties, respectively, and the related tenant leases. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions. The loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of debt service coverage and leverage ratios. A portion of the Company’s variable-rate mortgage debt has been effectively fixed through certain cash flow hedge transactions (Note 8).

The mortgage loan related to Brandywine Holdings in the Company’s Core Portfolio amounted to $26.3 million and was in default at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This loan bears interest at 5.99%, excluding default interest of 5%, and is collateralized by a property, in which the Company holds a 22% controlling interest. In April 2017, the lender on this mortgage initiated a lawsuit against the Company for the full balance of the principal, accrued interest as well as penalties and fees aggregating approximately $31.0 million. The Company’s management believes that the mortgage is not recourse to the Company and that the suit is without merit.

In addition, at September 30, 2017, a mortgage loan in the amount of $14.3 million and collateralized by a Fund II property, was in default because its liquidity covenant had been breached.

See Note 15 for information about additional financing obtaining after September 30, 2017.

Unsecured Notes Payable

The Company completed the following transactions related to its unsecured notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:


•	The Company reduced its maximum commitment available on the Fund IV subscription line of credit from $100.0 million to $21.5 million. The balance was $20.4 million at September 30, 2017 and $94.5 million at December 31, 2016. Total available credit at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively on this line.

•

Fund IV also has a $50.0 million bridge facility. The balance was $34.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $40.1 million at December 31, 2016. The Company was in compliance with the liquidity covenant for this facility at September 30, 2017, but was not in compliance at December 31, 2016. Total available credit at each of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0.0 on this facility. In October 2017, this facility was refinanced (Note 15).

•

The Company obtained a new Fund V subscription line in the amount of $150.0 million secured by Fund V’s unfunded capital commitments with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 160 basis points and maturing in May 2020.

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, the Company has also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.

Derivative Assets — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

Derivative Liabilities — The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017						December 31, 2016
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Derivative financial instruments	—		2,661		—		—		2,921		—
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments	—		3,468		—		—		3,590		—

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $3.8 million, inclusive of an amount attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $2.7 million, on a property classified as held for sale at September 30, 2017 (Note 2), in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement approximated the estimated selling price less estimated costs to sell.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the Swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

(a)

The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment.


(b)	Represents Fund II’s cost-method investment in Albertson’s supermarkets (Note 4).

(c)

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable and unsecured line of credit using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2017.

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are comprised of (i) the limited partners’ 3,341,397 and 3,308,875 Common OP Units at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at September 30, 2017 and 2016; (iii) 140,343 and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and (iv) 2,274,147 and 1,997,099 LTIP units as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as discussed in Share Incentive Plan (Note 13). Distributions declared for Preferred OP Units are reflected in net income in the table above.


(b)	Noncontrolling interests in partially-owned affiliates comprise third-party interests in Funds II, III, IV and V, and Mervyns I and II, and six other subsidiaries.


(c)	During the first quarter of 2016, the Company acquired an additional 8.3% interest in Fund II from a limited partner for $18.4 million, giving the Company an aggregate 28.33% interest. Amount in the table above represents the book value of this transaction.

(d)	Adjustment reflects the difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the book value of the Common Shares, Common OP Units, Preferred OP Units, and LTIP Units involving changes in ownership (the "Rebalancing").

Preferred OP Units

There were no issuances of Preferred OP Units and 1,250 Series C Preferred OP Units were exchanged for common shares of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

In 1999 the Operating Partnership issued 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units in connection with the acquisition of a property, which have a stated value of $1,000 per unit, and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit was converted into a Common OP Unit. Through December 31, 2016, 1,392 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 185,600 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza (Note 4). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations.

11. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers and other retail properties that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases that expire at various dates through June 20, 2066, with renewal options. Space in the shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms ranging generally from one month to ninety-nine years and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volumes.

The Company leases land at seven of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $2.8 million and $1.7 million (including capitalized ground rent at properties under development of $0.4 million and $0.2 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The leases terminate at various dates between 2020 and 2066. These leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 25 to 71 years. The Company also leases space for its corporate office. Office rent expense under this lease was $0.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Capital Lease

During 2016, the Company entered into a 49-year master lease at 991 Madison Avenue, which is accounted for as a capital lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, lease expense totaled $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively for this lease. The lease was initially valued at $76.6 million, which represents the total discounted payments to be made under the lease. The property under the capital lease is included in Note 2.

Lease Obligations

The scheduled future minimum (i) rental revenues from rental properties under the terms of all non-cancelable tenant leases, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises and (ii) rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating and capital leases in which the Company is the lessee, principally for office space and ground leases, as of September 30, 2017, are summarized as follows (in thousands):



Year Ending December 31,	Minimum Rental Revenues		Minimum Rental Payments
2017 (Remainder)	$	37,492	$	1,144
2018	158,612		4,478
2019	153,722		4,488
2020	141,485		4,283
2021	125,794		4,240
Thereafter	666,865		189,051
Total	$	1,283,970	$	207,684

A ground lease expiring during 2078 provides the Company with an option to purchase the underlying land during 2031. If the Company does not exercise the option, the rents that will be due are based on future values and as such are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the above table does not include rents for this lease beyond 2031.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no single tenant collectively comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues.

12. Segment Reporting

The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s Core Portfolio consists primarily of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas with a long-term investment horizon. The Company’s Funds hold primarily retail real estate in which the Company co-invests with high-quality institutional investors. The Company’s Structured Financing segment consists of earnings and expenses related to notes and mortgages receivable which are held within the Core Portfolio or the Funds (Note 3). Fees earned by the Company as the general partner or managing member of the Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not presented in the Company’s segments. During 2016, the Company revised how it allocates general and administrative and income tax expenses among its segments to reflect all such expenses as unallocated corporate expenses. The presentation of the 2016 interim periods have been revised to reflect this change.

13. Share Incentive and Other Compensation

Share Incentive Plan

The Second Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”) authorizes the Company to issue options, Restricted Shares, LTIP Units and other securities (collectively “Awards”) to, among others, the Company’s officers, trustees and employees. At September 30, 2017 a total of 1,756,288 shares remained available to be issued under the Share Incentive Plan.

Restricted Shares and LTIP Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 306,635 LTIP Units and 7,628 Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, which 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 the grant date was $9.0 million, of which $2.2 million was recognized as compensation expense in 2016, and $6.8 million will be recognized as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $6.5 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and is recorded in General and Administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In addition, members of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) have been issued shares and units under the Share Incentive Plan. During 2017, the Company issued 11,814 Restricted Shares and 11,105 LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 3,864 of the Restricted Shares and 5,805 of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 7,950 of the Restricted Shares and 5,300 of the LTIP Units 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. Total trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III and IV. The Company has granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership and 14.4% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted.

As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of September 30, 2017.

Compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to the Program in connection with Fund III.

The weighted-average grant date fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 were $32.18 and $34.50, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $16.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Share Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of Restricted Shares that vested for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, was $0.7 million. The total fair value of LTIP Units that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, was $7.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Other Plans

On a combined basis, the Company incurred a total of $0.3 million related to the following employee benefit plans for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more the $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, a total of 3,392 and 3,143 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan.

Deferred Share Plan

During May of 2006, the Company adopted a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election, under which the participating Trustees earn deferred compensation.

Employee 401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, up to $18,000, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

14. 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. During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units 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 units (“Restricted Share Units”) and share option awards issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below.

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.

These properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and dense suburban shopping centers. The following sets forth a summary of our wholly-owned and partially-owned retail properties and their physical occupancies at September 30, 2017:

The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from operating properties, including expense 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 typically 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 high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive development and re-tenanting activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative.


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



	42


◦	value-add investments in street retail properties, located in established and “next generation” submarkets, with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,


◦	opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers, and


◦	other opportunistic acquisitions which may include high-yield acquisitions and purchases of distressed debt.

Some of these investments historically have also included, and may in the future 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.


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

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, within our Core and Fund portfolios we invested in six properties as follows (Note 2):

•	We funded an additional $10.0 million on an existing note receivable.


•	Fund IV exchanged a $9.0 million note receivable plus accrued interest of $0.1 million thereon for an investment in a shopping center in Windham, Maine (Note 2).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

See Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for an overview of our three reportable segments. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we revised how we allocate general and administrative and income tax expenses among our segments. All prior periods presented herein have been revised to conform to this new presentation.

	46

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Core Portfolio decreased by $1.6 million for the nine months ended compared to the prior year period primarily due to the change in control of the Brandywine Portfolio during 2016 (Note 4).

Funds

Segment net income attributable to Acadia for the Funds decreased by $26.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes described below.

Revenues from the Funds increased by $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $16.0 million from property acquisitions in 2016 and 2017 as well as $11.6 million from substantially all of the City Point development project being placed in service during 2017 (Note 2).

Depreciation and amortization for the Funds increased by $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $12.5 million from the acquisitions in 2016 and 2017 as well as $9.3 million from substantially all of the City Point development project being placed in service during 2017.

Property operating, other operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Funds increased by $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period due to acquisitions in 2016 and 2017 as well as substantially all of the City Point development project being placed in service during 2017.

Gains during the prior year period comprised $16.6 million from the sale of Fund III’s Heritage Shops and $65.4 million from the sale of a 65% interest in Cortlandt Town Center.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates for the Funds increased by $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the Fund’s proportionate share of $11.5 million from the sales of 1701 Belmont Avenue, Arundel Plaza and 2819 Kennedy Boulevard during the current year period as well as distributions in excess of our carrying value related to investments in Mervyn’s and Albertsons (Note 4).

Interest expense for the Funds increased by $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period due to a $5.1 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2017, a $4.6 million increase related to higher average interest rates in 2017, and $2.7 million less interest capitalized and a $1.9 million increase in amortization of additional loan costs in 2017.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds decreased by $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the gain on disposition of properties discussed above.

Structured Financing

Interest income and segment net income attributable to Acadia from Structured Financing increased by $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the recognition of default interest of $3.6 million during the current year period on a past due note (Note 3) and new loans originated during 2016.

Unallocated

The Company does not allocate general and administrative expense and income taxes to its reportable segments. General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.4 million primarily as a result of the acceleration of equity-based compensation awards related to retirements as well as increased compensation expense in 2016, which included $3.0 million related to the Program (Note 13).

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

Net Property Operating Income



	47

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 development. 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.

A reconciliation of consolidated operating income to net operating income - Core Portfolio follows (in thousands):

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and impairment of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Uses of Liquidity and Cash Requirements

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 Funds and property acquisitions and development/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, (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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and Preferred OP Units totaling $77.8 million. This amount included a $13.3 million special dividend that was paid in January 2017, which related to the Operating Partnership’s share of cash proceeds from property distributions during 2016. The balance of the distribution was funded from the Operating Partnership’s share of operating cash flow.

Distributions of $6.3 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund III during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These resulted from proceeds related to the dispositions of New Hyde Park Shopping Center (Note 2) and Arundel Plaza (Note 4).

Investments in Real Estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, within our Core and Fund portfolios we acquired six properties aggregating $152.8 million as follows:

Capital Commitments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made capital contributions of $6.0 million to Fund IV in connection with acquisitions and development costs. Capital contributed will be used by the Funds to acquire and operate real estate assets. At September 30, 2017, our share of the remaining capital commitments to our Funds aggregated $149.9 million as follows:


•	Fund II was launched in June 2004 with total committed capital of $300.0 million of which our share was $85.0 million, which has been fully funded.


•	$13.1 million to Fund III. Fund III was launched in May 2007 with total committed capital of $450.0 million of which our original share was $89.6 million. During 2015, we acquired an additional interest, which had an original capital commitment of $20.9 million.


•	$32.2 million to Fund IV. Fund IV was launched in May 2012 with total committed capital of $530.0 million of which our original share was $122.5 million.


•	$104.5 million to Fund V. Fund V was launched in August 2016 with total committed capital of $520.0 million of which our initial share is $104.5 million.

Development Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, capitalized costs associated with development activities totaled $84.6 million. These costs primarily related to Fund II’s City Point project. At September 30, 2017, we had 13 properties under development for which the estimated total cost to complete these projects through 2020 was $102.0 million to $144.0 million and our share was approximately $34.1 million to $46.0 million.

As of September 30, 2017, our consolidated outstanding mortgage and notes payable aggregated $1,619.2 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.9 million and unamortized loan costs of $17.2 million, and were collateralized by 45 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 1.00% to 5.89% with maturities that ranged from October 15, 2017, to April 15, 2035. Taking into consideration $454.8 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $869.8 million of the portfolio debt, or 53.7%, was fixed at a 3.70% weighted-average interest rate and $749.3 million, or 46.3% was floating at a 3.30% weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2017.

There is $173.0 million of debt maturing in 2017 at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.15%; there is $1.7 million of scheduled principal amortization due in 2017; and our share of scheduled remaining 2017 principal payments and maturities on our

unconsolidated debt was $5.9 million at September 30, 2017. In addition, $88.3 million of our total consolidated debt and $2.2 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2018. As it relates to the maturing debt in 2017 and 2018, 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; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing at acceptable terms.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of capital for funding our liquidity needs include (i) the issuance of both public equity and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds, (iv) future sales of existing properties and (v) cash on hand and future cash flow from operating activities. Our cash on hand in our consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2017 totaled $48.3 million. Our remaining sources of liquidity are described further below.

Issuance of Equity

We have an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity issuance program which provides us an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising public equity to fund our capital needs. Through this program, we have been able to effectively “match-fund” the required equity for our Core Portfolio and Fund acquisitions through the issuance of Common Shares over extended periods employing a price averaging strategy. In addition, from time to time, we have issued and intend to continue to issue, equity in follow-on offerings separate from our ATM program. Net proceeds raised through our ATM program and follow-on offerings are primarily used for acquisitions, both for our Core Portfolio and our pro-rata share of Fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. There were no issuances of equity under the ATM program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Fund Capital

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, noncontrolling interest capital contributions to Fund IV of $20.1 million were primarily used to fund recent acquisitions and development activities. At September 30, 2017, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds III, IV and V were $40.2 million, $107.1 million and $415.5 million, respectively.

Asset Sales

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, within our Fund portfolio we sold two consolidated and three unconsolidated properties for an aggregate sales price of $106.1 million and recognized aggregate gains of $30.7 million as follows (Note 2, Note 4):


•	Fund II sold a consolidated property, 216th Street, for $30.6 million for which the gain was $6.5 million, of which our proportionate share was $1.8 million, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.


•	Fund III sold a consolidated property, New Hyde Park Shopping Center, for $22.1 million for which the gain was $6.4 million, of which our proportionate share was $1.6 million, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.


•	Fund III sold its Arundel Plaza property for $28.8 million and recognized a gain on disposition of properties of $8.2 million of which our proportionate share was $1.3 million;


•	Fund IV sold its 2819 Kennedy Boulevard property for $19.0 million and recognized a gain of $6.3 million of which our proportionate share was $1.4 million; and


•	Fund IV sold its 1701 Belmont Avenue property for $5.6 million and recognized a gain of $3.3 million of which our proportionate share was $0.8 million.

Structured Financing Repayments

There are no scheduled principal collections on our structured financing portfolio (Note 3) for the remainder of 2017.

Financing and Debt

As of September 30, 2017, we had $126.1 million of additional capacity under existing revolving debt facilities. In addition, at that date we had 65 unleveraged consolidated properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.4 billion and 26 unleveraged unconsolidated properties for which our share of the carrying value was $94.0 million, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties at favorable terms if at all.

HISTORICAL CASH FLOW

The following table compares the historical cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 with the cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (in millions):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016			Variance
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	84.4		$	56.5		$	27.9
Net cash used in investing activities	(146.3		)	(375.7		)	229.4

(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(23.6	)	$	(23.5	)	$	(0.1	)

Operating Activities

Our operating activities provided $27.9 million more cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to additional cash flow from 2016 and 2017 Core and Fund acquisitions.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our investing activities used $229.4 million less cash, primarily due to (i) $162.3 million less cash used for the acquisition of real estate, (ii) $137.8 million less cash used for the issuance of notes receivable, (iii) $63.6 million less cash used for investments and advances to unconsolidated investments, and (iv) $9.9 million less cash used for development and property improvement costs. These items were partially offset by (i) $77.7 million less cash received from the disposition of properties, including unconsolidated affiliates, (ii) $38.3 million less cash received from return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates, and (iii) $30.8 million less cash received from repayments of notes receivable.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $257.4 million less cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily from (i) $357.3 million less cash received from the issuance of Common Shares and (ii) a decrease in cash of $183.9 million from capital contributions from noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by (i) an increase of $236.4 million of cash provided from net borrowings and (ii) a decrease of $61.8 million in cash distributions to noncontrolling interests.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes: (i) principal and interest obligations under mortgage and other notes, (ii) rents due under non-cancelable operating and capital leases, which includes ground leases at seven of our properties and the lease for our corporate office and (iii) construction commitments as of September 30, 2017 (in millions):

__________


(a)	A ground lease expiring during 2078 provides the Company with an option to purchase the underlying land during 2031. If we do not exercise the option, the rents that will be due are based on future values and as such are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the above table does not include rents for this lease beyond 2031.


(b)	In conjunction with the development of our Core Portfolio and Fund properties, we have entered into construction commitments with general contractors. We intend to fund these requirements with existing liquidity.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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

See Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. The Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of unconsolidated non-recourse debt related to those investments is as follows (dollars in millions):



	Operating Partnership Ownership Percentage		Operating Partnership Pro-rata Share of Mortgage Debt
Investment	Operating Partnership Ownership Percentage		Operating Partnership Pro-rata Share of Mortgage Debt		Interest Rate at September 30, 2017		Maturity Date
Promenade at Manassas	22.8	%	$	5.7	2.93	%	November 2017

Total			$	162.2

One of our unconsolidated affiliates is a party to an interest rate LIBOR swap with a notional value of $20.6 million, which effectively fixes the interest rate at 3.49% and matures in June 2023.

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 2016 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Information as of September 30, 2017

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage and other debt. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage 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 agreements. As of September 30, 2017, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,619.2 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.9 million and unamortized loan costs of $17.2 million, of which $869.8 million, or 53.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $749.3 million, or 46.3%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2017, we were party to 26 interest rate swap and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $454.8 million and $196.4 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2017 concerning our long-term debt obligations on a pro-rata share basis, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

During the remainder of 2017, $174.7 million of our total consolidated debt and $5.9 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due. In addition, $88.3 million of our total consolidated debt and $2.2 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2018. 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 $2.6 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 $1.0 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $749.3 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2017, would increase $7.5 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $2.2 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

Based on our outstanding debt balances as of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $17.5 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $19.6 million.

As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had consolidated notes receivable of $250.2 million and $276.2 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.

Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $3.5 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $3.7 million.

Summarized Information as of December 31, 2016

As of December 31, 2016, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,505.7 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $1.3 million and unamortized loan costs of $18.3 million, of which $860.5 million, or 57.1% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $645.2 million, or 42.9%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2016, we were party to 18 interest rate swap and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $365.3 million and $196.4 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $645.2 million as of December 31, 2016, would have increased $6.5 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2016, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $20.3 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $22.8 million.

Changes in Market Risk Exposures from 2016 to 2017

Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2016, to September 30, 2017, has increased on an absolute basis, as the $645.2 million of variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2016, has increased to $749.3 million as of September 30, 2017. As a percentage of our overall debt, our interest rate risk exposure has increased as our variable-rate debt accounted for 42.9% of our consolidated debt as of December 31, 2016, and was increased to 46.3% as of September 30, 2017.
