PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
GENERAL
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). All references to “Acadia,” “we,” “us,” ”our,” and “Company” refer to Acadia Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity REIT focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components. We currently operate 74 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in. These assets are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States which, in total, comprise approximately 10 million square feet. We also have private equity investments in other retail real estate related opportunities including investments for which we provide operational support to the operating ventures in which we have a minority equity interest.
All of our investments are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2006, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals which 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”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
Our primary business objective is to acquire, develop 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 portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component located in markets with strong demographics
 
    Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities
 
    Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions
 
    Partner 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
Investment Strategy — External Growth through Opportunistic Acquisition Platforms
The requirements that acquisitions be accretive on a long-term basis based on our cost of capital, as well as increase the overall portfolio quality and value, are core to our acquisition program. As such, we constantly evaluate the blended cost of equity and debt and adjust the amount of acquisition activity to align the level of investment activity with capital flows. We may engage in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. In addition to our direct investments in real estate assets, we have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing joint ventures in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest, fees and priority distributions for our services. To date, we have launched two acquisition joint ventures, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”).
Fund I
In September 2001, we and four of our institutional shareholders formed a joint venture, whereby the investors committed $70.0 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. The Operating Partnership committed an additional $20.0 million to Fund I, as the general partner with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on its invested equity, the Operating Partnership is entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions.
Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a carried interest (“Promote”). The Operating Partnership also earns fees and/or priority distributions for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the allocated invested equity, as well as for property management, leasing and construction services. All such fees and priority distributions are reflected as adjustments to minority interest in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Our acquisition program was executed exclusively through Fund I through June 2004. Fund I focused on targeting assets for acquisition that had superior in-fill locations, restricted competition due to high barriers of entry and in-place below-market anchor leases with the potential to create significant additional value through re-tenanting, timely capital improvements and property redevelopment.
On January 4, 2006, Fund I recapitalized a one million square foot retail portfolio located in Wilmington Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”) through a merger of interests with affiliates of GDC Properties (“GDC”). The Brandywine Portfolio was recapitalized through a “cash-out” merger of the 77.8% interest, which was previously held by the institutional investors in Fund I, to GDC at a valuation of $164.0 million. The Operating Partnership, through a subsidiary, retained its existing 22.2% interest and continues to operate the Brandywine Portfolio and earn fees for such services. At the closing of the merger, the Fund I investors received a return of all of their capital invested in Fund I and their unpaid preferred return, thus triggering the payment to the Operating Partnership of its additional 20% Promote in all future Fund I distributions. During June 2006, the Fund I investors received $36.0 million of additional proceeds from this transaction following the replacement of bridge financing which they provided, with permanent mortgage financing, triggering $7.2 million in additional Promote due the Operating Partnership, which will be paid from the Fund I investor’s share of the remaining assets in Fund I.
There are 32 assets comprising approximately two million square feet remaining in Fund I in which the Operating Partnership’s interest in cash flow and income has increased from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote.
Fund II
Following our success with Fund I, we formed a second, larger acquisition joint venture. During June of 2004, we launched Fund II, which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900.0 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in Fund II. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%.
As the demand for retail real estate has significantly increased in recent years, there has been a commensurate increase in selling prices. In an effort to generate superior risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders and joint venture investors, we have channeled our acquisition efforts through Fund II in two new opportunistic joint ventures launched during 2004 – the Retailer Controlled Property Venture and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative.
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”)
On January 27, 2004, through Funds I and II, we entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Klaff’s long time partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. Affiliates of Funds I and II have invested $12.3 million and $37.1 million, respectively, in the RCP Venture to date on a non-recourse basis. While we are not required to invest any additional capital into any of these investments, should additional capital be required and we elect not to contribute our share, our proportionate share in the investment will be reduced. Since Fund I is fully invested, Fund II will provide the remaining portion of the original 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). The Operating Partnership may also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture. We seek to invest opportunistically in the RCP Venture primarily in the following four ways:
    Invest in operating retailers through private equity joint ventures
 
    Work with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate
 
    Acquire properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy
 
    Complete sale leasebacks with retailers in need of capital
During 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of Mervyns. During 2006, we made additional investments with our participation in the acquisition of Albertsons, Cub, ShopKo and Marsh Supermarkets as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in this Item 1 of Form 10-K.
New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September of 2004, through Fund II, we launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. As retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, we are poised to capitalize on this trend by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest. See Item 7 of Form 10K for further information on the Acadia P/A Joint Venture as detailed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. To date, Fund II has, in conjunction with P/A, invested in six projects and entered into an

agreement on a seventh project, subject to certain approvals, as discussed further in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Other Investments
We may also invest in preferred equity investments, mortgages, other real estate interests and other investments. The mortgages in which we invest in may be either first mortgages or mezzanine debt, where we believe the underlying value of the real estate collateral is in excess of its loan balance. As of December 31, 2006 our investments in first mortgages and mezzanine debt aggregated $38.3 million.
Capital Strategy — Balance Sheet Focus and Access to Capital
Our primary capital objective is to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth. We intend to continue financing acquisitions and property redevelopment with sources of capital determined by management to be the most appropriate based on, among other factors, availability, pricing and other commercial and financial terms. The sources of capital may include the issuance of public equity, unsecured debt, mortgage and construction loans, and other capital alternatives such as the issuance of Operating Partnership Units. We manage our interest rate risk primarily through the use of variable and fixed rate-debt as well as with LIBOR swap agreements as discussed further in Item 7A of this Form 10-K.
In December 2006, we issued $100.0 million of 3.75% unsecured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually. The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 32.4002 of our Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount, representing a conversion price of approximately $30.86 per Common Share, or a conversion premium of approximately 20.0%. The Notes are redeemable for cash up to their principal amount plus accrued interest and, at our option, cash, our Common Shares, or a combination thereof with respect to the remainder, if any, of the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. The Notes mature December 15, 2026, although the holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes, in whole or in part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December 15, 2021. After December 20, 2011, we have the right to redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time. In January 2007, an option was exercised to issue an additional $15.0 million of these Notes. The $112.1 million in proceeds, net of related costs, were used to retire variable rate debt, provide for future Fund capital commitments and for general working capital purposes.
During January 2007, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing offerings for up to a total of $300.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. To date, we have not issued any securities pursuant to this shelf registration.
Common and Preferred OP Unit Transactions
On January 27, 2004, we issued 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in connection with the acquisition from Klaff of its rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties. These units have a stated value of $1,000 each and are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Preferred OP Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by 12.82 at any time. Klaff may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units (at our option) after the earlier of the third anniversary of their issuance, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in the control of our Company. Finally, after the fifth anniversary of the issuance, we may redeem the Preferred OP Units and convert them into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date.
Effective February 15, 2005, we acquired the balance of Klaff’s rights to provide the above services as well as certain potential future revenue streams. The consideration for this acquisition was $4.0 million in the form of 250,000 restricted Common OP Units, valued at $16 per unit, which are convertible into our Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five year lock-up period. As part of this transaction we also assumed all operational and redevelopment responsibility for the Klaff Properties a year earlier than was contemplated in the January 2004 transaction.
In February 2007, Klaff converted 3,800 Series B Preferred OP Units into 296,412 Common OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares.
Common Share Transactions
During November 2004, we issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”) pursuant to shelf registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, which were net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Yale University and its affiliates (“Yale”), and Kenneth F. Bernstein, our Chief Executive Officer, also sold 1,000,000, and 110,000 Common Shares, respectively, in connection with this transaction.
In March of 2004, a secondary public offering was completed for a total of 5,750,000 Common Shares. The selling shareholders, Yale and Ross Dworman, a former trustee and Chairman, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. Yale was a major shareholder, owning, at one time, approximately one-third of all of our outstanding Common Shares. We did not sell any

Common Shares in this transaction and did not receive any proceeds from this transaction.
Operating Strategy — Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record
Our senior management team has an average of nine years with us and our predecessors and 26 years in the real estate industry. Our management team successfully completed a major multi-year portfolio repositioning initiative culminating in 2002 that significantly improved the quality of our portfolio and tenant base. We believe our management team has demonstrated the ability to create value internally through anchor recycling, property redevelopment and strategic non-core dispositions. Our team has built several successful acquisition platforms including our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and RCP Venture. We have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing joint ventures, such as Funds I and II, in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest, fees and priority distributions for our services.
Operating functions such as leasing, property management, construction, finance and legal (collectively, the “Operating Departments”) are provided by our personnel, providing for fully integrated property management and development. By incorporating the Operating Departments in the acquisition process, acquisitions are appropriately priced giving effect to each asset’s specific risks and returns. Also, because of the Operating Departments involvement with, and corresponding understanding of, the acquisition process, transition time is minimized and management can immediately execute on its strategic plan for each asset.
We typically hold our properties for long-term investment. As such, we continuously review the existing portfolio and implement programs to renovate and modernize targeted centers to enhance the property’s market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow and consequently property value. We also periodically identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital to existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. Our core portfolio consists primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers, which are generally dominant centers in high barrier-to-entry markets. The anchors at these centers typically pay market or below-market rents and have low rent-to-sales ratios, which are, on average, less than 5%. Furthermore, supermarket and necessity-based retailers anchor the majority of our core portfolio. These attributes enable our properties to better withstand a weakening economy while also creating opportunities to increase rental income.
During 2006 and 2005 we sold six non-core properties and redeployed the capital to acquire five retail properties as further discussed in “ASSET SALES” and CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” in this Item 1 of Form 10-K.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
RCP Venture
In June 2006, the RCP Venture made its second major investment with its participation in the acquisition of Albertsons. The total price paid by the investment consortium, which included Cerberus, Schottenstein and Kimco Realty, to Albertsons for the portfolio was $1.9 billion which was funded with $0.3 billion of equity and $1.6 billion of financing. Albertsons was the nation’s 2nd largest grocery and drug chain which operated over 2,500 stores in 37 states. Albertsons divided its assets into three independent components and for a total price of $17.4 billion, sold 1,124 stores to Supervalu, 700 stores to CVS and 699 stores along with 26 Cub Food stores to the investment consortium. Supervalu and CVS are the investment consortium’s strategic operating partners and, as such, are part of the purchasing group, but fund, own, and operate their respective portions of the portfolio independently. As with the Mervyns investment (see below), we anticipate investing in Albertsons add-on real estate opportunities. During the third quarter of 2006, additional investments of $1.0 million were made in, the Camellia Center and Newkirk portfolio. Camellia Center is an Albertsons-anchored center located in Sacramento, California and Newkirk is a portfolio of 50 properties currently leased to Albertsons. As of December 31, 2006, our total invested capital in Albertsons and add-on investments amounted to $23.1 million, of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $4.6 million.
We also invested $1.1 million in Shopko, a regional multi-department retailer with 358 stores located throughout the Midwest, Mountain and Pacific Northwest and $0.7 million in Marsh, a regional supermarket chain operating 271 stores in central Indiana, Illinois and western Ohio. The Operating Partnership’s share of these investments totaled $0.4 million.
In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s. Through affiliates of Fund I and Fund II, which were separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, we invested in the acquisition of Mervyn’s through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyn’s from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.2 billion subject to debt of approximately $800.0 million. Our share of equity invested aggregated $24.6 million on a non-recourse basis and was divided equally between affiliates of Funds I and II. The Operating Partnership’s share was $5.2 million.
As of the date of acquisition, Mervyn’s was a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration. During 2005, the consortium sold a portion of the portfolio as well as refinanced existing mortgage debt and distributed cash to the investors, of which a total of $42.7 million was distributed to us of which the Operating Partnership’s share amounted to $10.2 million. In February of 2006, the consortium distributed additional cash of which a total of $1.4 million was distributed to us of which $0.4 million was the Operating Partnership’s share.

Table of Contents

On February 26, 2007 we, through our RCP Venture, received a cash distribution totaling approximately $42.5 million from our ownership position in Albertsons. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution amounted to approximately $8.5 million. The distribution resulted from cash proceeds obtained by Albertsons in connection with its disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held in the entity.
New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
The Center at Albee Square – On February 23, 2007, Acadia-P/A and Paul Travis of Washington Square Partners (collectively, “Acadia P/A–Travis”), entered into an agreement for the purchase of the leasehold interest in The Gallery at Fulton Street and adjacent parking garage in Downtown Brooklyn, NY for $120.0 million. The fee position in the property is owned by the City of New York and the agreement includes an option to purchase this fee position at a later date. Plans for the property include the demolition of the existing improvements and the development of a 1.6 million square foot mixed-use complex. This transaction is subject to approval by the Mayor of the City of New York. There are no assurances that the approval will be granted.
Liberty Avenue — On December 20, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired the remaining 40-year term of a leasehold interest in land located at Liberty Avenue and 98th Street in Queens (Ozone Park). Development of this project is substantially complete and includes approximately 30,000 square feet of retail anchored by a CVS drug store, which is open and operating. The project also includes a 95,000 square foot self-storage facility which is open and currently operated by Storage Post. Storage Post is a partner in the self-storage complex, and is anticipated to be a partner in future retail projects in New York City where self storage will be a potential component of the redevelopment. The total cost of the redevelopment is expected to be approximately $15 million.
216th Street — On December 1, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired a 65,000 square foot parking garage located at 10th Avenue and 216th Street in the Inwood section of Manhattan for $7.0 million. Construction is underway for a 60,000 square foot office building to relocate an agency of the City of New York, which is a current tenant at another of our Urban/Infill Redevelopment projects. Inclusive of acquisition costs, total costs for the project, which also includes a 100-space rooftop parking deck, are anticipated to be approximately $25 million.
161st Street - On August 5, 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased 244-268 161st Street located in the Bronx for $49.3 million, inclusive of closing costs. The ultimate redevelopment plan for the property, a 100% occupied, 10-story office building, is to reconfigure the property so that approximately 50% of the income from the building will eventually be derived from retail tenants. Additional redevelopment costs are anticipated to be approximately $16 million.
4650 Broadway - On April 6, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired 4650 Broadway located in the Washington Heights/Inwood section of Manhattan. The property, a 140,000 square foot building, which is currently occupied by an agency of the City of New York and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for a purchase price of $25.0 million. Following the relocation of the office tenant to our 216th St. redevelopment during 2007 as discussed above, we plan to commence redevelopment of the site to include retail, commercial and residential components totaling over 285,000 square feet. Expected costs to complete the retail and commercial component of the project are estimated at $30.0 million before any potential sale of the residential air rights. In lieu of directly developing the potential residential portion of the project, the rights to this component may be sold while retaining ownership of the other portions of the project.
Pelham Manor — On October 1, 2004, Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year, inclusive of extension options, ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. We have commenced demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and will be replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center at a total estimated cost of $40 million.
Fordham Road — On September 29, 2004, Acadia-P/A purchased 400 East Fordham Road, Bronx, New York. Sears, a former tenant that operated on four levels at this property, has signed a new lease to occupy only the concourse level after redevelopment. We have commenced redevelopment at this site which is expected to include four levels of retail and office space totaling 276,000 square feet when completed. The total cost of the project, including the acquisition cost of $30 million, is expected to be $115 million.
In addition to the above New York Urban/Infill projects, through Fund II we also acquired the following:
During November 2005, we acquired a ground lease interest in a 112,000 square foot building occupied by Neiman Marcus. The property is located at Oakbrook Center, a super-regional Class A mall located in the Chicago Metro area. The ground lease was acquired for $6.9 million, including closing and other acquisition costs.
During July 2005, we acquired for $1.0 million, a 50% equity interest from its partner in the RCP Venture in the entity which has a leasehold interest in a former Levitz Furniture store located in Rockville, Maryland.

Fund I
To date, through Fund I we have purchased a total of 35 assets totaling approximately 3.0 million square feet. During January 2006, we recapitalized the Brandywine Portfolio, representing two assets totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet, through a merger of interests with GDC as discussed further in “BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES” in this Item 1 of Form 10-K. Following the recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio, there are 33 assets comprising 2.0 million square feet remaining in Fund I, (in which the Operating Partnership’s interest in cash flow and income has increased from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote) as follows:

In November 2006, we acquired the remaining 50% interest from its unaffiliated partner in the Tarrytown Center for $3.5 million.
During February 2006, we finalized an agreement with its unaffiliated partner in the Hitchcock and Pine Log Plazas whereby we converted our common equity interest in the properties to a preferred equity position with a 15% preferred return payable currently and a 20% profit interest after all invested capital and preferred returns are paid. In connection with this agreement, our partner assumed all operational, redevelopment and leasing responsibilities
Other Investments
In March of 2005, we invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) in Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Levitz Properties”), totaling 2.5 million square feet, of which the majority are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. In October 2005, Levitz Furniture filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity investment received a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2.0 million per annum. During March 2006, the rate of return was reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points or 11.5%.
On June 1, 2006, we converted the Preferred Equity Investment to a first mortgage loan and advanced additional proceeds bringing the total outstanding amount to $31.3 million. The loan has a maturity date of May 31, 2008 and bears interest at a rate of 10.5%. The loan was secured by fee and leasehold mortgages as well as a pledge of the entities owning 19 of the above remaining locations totaling 1.8 million square feet. During the third quarter of 2006, Levitz SL sold one of the Levitz Properties located in Northridge, California and used $20.4 million of the proceeds to pay down the loan. As of December 31, 2006, the loan balance amounted to $10.9 million. Although Levitz Furniture is currently operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, we believe the underlying value of the real estate is sufficient to recover the principal and interest due under the mortgage.

Total
                    1,264,784     $ 76,600  
 
                           
Proceeds from these sales in part have been used to fund the following acquisitions:
In September 2006, we purchased 2914 Third Avenue in the Bronx, New York for $18.5 million. The 41,305 square foot property is 100% leased and is located in a densely populated, high barrier-to-entry, infill area.
In June 2006, we purchased 8400 and 8625 Germantown Road in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $16.0 million. Tenants at these “Main Street” locations include Borders bookstore, Talbot’s and Limited Express.
During January 2006, we closed on a 20,000 square foot retail building in the Lincoln Park district in Chicago. The property was acquired from an affiliate of Klaff for $9.9 million. Tenants include Starbucks, Nine West, Vitamin Shoppe and Cold Stone Creamery.
Also during January 2006, we acquired a 60% interest in the A&P Shopping Plaza located in Boonton, New Jersey. The property, which is 100% occupied and located in northeastern New Jersey, is a 63,000 square foot shopping center anchored by a 49,000 square foot A&P Supermarket. The remaining 40% interest is owned by a principal of P/A. The interest was acquired for $3.2 million.
During July 2005 we purchased 4343 Amboy Road located in Staten Island, New York for $16.6 million in cash and $0.2 million in Common OP Units. The property, a 60,000 square foot neighborhood shopping center, is anchored by a Waldbaum’s supermarket and a Duane Reade drug store, and is subject to a 23-year ground lease.
PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
During 2006, we commenced the redevelopment and re-tenanting of the Bloomfield Town Square, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. A former out-parcel building was demolished and replaced with a 17,500 square foot building now occupied by Drexel Heritage and Panera Bread. The new tenants opened and commenced paying rent during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively, and are paying a combined base rent at a 127% increase over that of the former tenant. In addition, the Company has leased approximately 26,000 square feet to Circuit City, which is anticipated to open and commence paying rent in the fourth quarter of 2007 at a 79% increase over that of the former tenants. Total costs for this project are expected to be $3.3 million.
During 2004, we completed the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center, located in Latham, New York. A new anchor, The Bon Ton Department Store, opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of this shopping center. Occupying 66,000 square feet formerly occupied by an Ames department store, Bon Ton is paying base rent at a 15% increase over that of Ames. During 2004, Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, expanded its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. We also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center during 2004. This community shopping center is now 100% occupied. Costs incurred for this project totaled $0.4 million.
We also completed the redevelopment and re-anchoring of the Town Line Plaza, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut during 2004. The former building, occupied by GU Markets, was demolished and replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Costs for this project totaled $1.7 million.
COMPETITION
There are numerous entities that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REIT’s, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. Our properties compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy costs (including base rent and operating expenses), services provided, and the design and condition of the improvements.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS
We have two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We evaluate property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with retail versus residential tenants. We do not have any foreign operations. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information regarding each of our segments.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES
Our executive offices are located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, and our telephone number is (914) 288-8100. We have 130 employees, of which 105 are located at our executive office, six at the Pennsylvania regional office and the remaining property management personnel are located on-site at our properties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS:
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed in the beginning of this Form 10-K.
We rely on revenues derived from major tenants.
We derive significant revenues from certain anchor tenants that occupy space in more than one center. We could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants, or in the event that any such tenant does not renew its leases as they expire or renews at lower rental rates. Vacated anchor space not only would reduce rental revenues if not re-tenanted at the same rental rates but also could adversely affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s customer drawing power. Loss of customer drawing power also can occur through the exercise of the right that most anchors have to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease term, or the departure of an anchor tenant that owns its own property. In addition, in the event that certain major tenants cease to occupy a property, such an action may result in a significant number of other tenants having the right to terminate their leases, or pay a reduced rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the future income from such property.
Tenants may seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of their leases and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available for distribution by us. Such reduction could be material if a major tenant files bankruptcy. See the risk factor titled, “The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values” below.
Limited control over joint venture investments.
Our joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our joint venture partner might have different interests or goals than we do. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor a joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures.
Through our investments in joint ventures we have also invested in operating businesses that have operational risk in addition to the risks associated with real estate investments, including among other risks, human capital issues, adequate supply of product and material, and merchandising issues.
During 2006 and 2005, our joint ventures provided Promote income. There can be no assurance that the joint ventures will continue to operate profitably and thus provide additional Promote income in the future.
Under the terms of our Fund II joint venture, we are required to first offer to Fund II all of our opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. Only if (i) our joint venture partner elects not to approve Fund II’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity; (ii) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Fund II would create a material conflict of interest for us; (iii) we require the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; or (iv) the consideration payable for the acquisition opportunity is our Common Shares, OP Units or other securities, may we pursue the opportunity directly. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly and may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Fund II.
We operate through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our assets.
Our primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which we are the general partner. Our acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating Partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although we, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally have no obligation to consider the tax consequences of our actions to any limited partner, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will not acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute such properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage our assets.
There are risks relating to investments in real estate.
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate values are affected by a number of factors, including: changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control variable operating costs. Shopping centers, in particular, may be affected by changing perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center and by the overall climate for the retail industry generally. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as government regulations, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning, tax and other laws. A significant portion of our income is derived from rental income from real property, our income and cash flow would be adversely affected if a significant number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations, or if we were unable to lease on

economically favorable terms a significant amount of space in our properties. In the event of default by a tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing, and incur substantial costs to enforce, our rights as a landlord. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants causing them to reject their leases, or not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates may adversely affect our cash flows and property values. Furthermore, the impact of vacated anchor space and the potential reduction in customer traffic may adversely impact the balance of tenants at the center.
Certain of our tenants have experienced financial difficulties and have filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”). Pursuant to bankruptcy law, tenants have the right to reject their leases. In the event the tenant exercises this right, the landlord generally has the right to file a claim for lost rent equal to the greater of either one year’s rent (including tenant expense reimbursements) for remaining terms greater than one year, or 15% of the rent remaining under the balance of the lease term, but not to exceed three years rent. Actual amounts to be received in satisfaction of those claims will be subject to the tenant’s final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.
Since January 1, 2003, there have been two significant tenant bankruptcies within our portfolio:
On May 30, 2003, The Penn Traffic Company (“Penn Traffic”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Penn Traffic operated in one location in our wholly-owned portfolio in 52,000 square feet. Rental revenues from this tenant at this location were $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of November 3, 2006 we sold this property. Penn Traffic also operated in a location occupying 55,000 square feet at a property in which we, through Fund I, hold a 22.2% ownership interest. Penn Traffic rejected the lease at this location on February 20, 2004. Our pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location was $0.02 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
On January 14, 2004, KB Toys (“KB”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operated in five locations in our wholly-owned portfolio totaling approximately 41,000 square feet. Rental revenues from KB at these locations aggregated $0.3 million, $ 0.3 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. KB rejected the lease at three of these locations and continues to operate in two of our wholly-owned locations but has neither assumed nor rejected these two leases. KB also operated in a location occupying 20,000 square feet at a property in which we hold a 22.2% ownership interest. KB rejected the lease at this location during 2004 and our pro-rata share of rental revenues at this location were $0.04 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
We could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where properties are geographically concentrated.
Our performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which our properties are concentrated. We have significant exposure to the New York region, from which we derive 33% of the annual base rents within our wholly-owned portfolio. Our operating results could be adversely affected if market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this area become more competitive relative to other geographic areas.
Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.
Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions will be limited. Our board of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. We could change our investment, disposition and financing policies without a vote of our shareholders.
Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on our share price.
One of the factors that may influence the trading price of our Common Shares is the annual dividend rate on our Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise additional equity in the public markets.

We could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. Neither our Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our board of trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions.
Our loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.
Interest expense on our variable debt as of December 31, 2006 would increase by $0.9 million annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
We enter into interest-rate hedging transactions, including interest rate swaps and cap agreements, with counterparties. There can be no guarantee that the financial condition of these counterparties will enable them to fulfill their obligations under these agreements.
We may not be able to renew current leases and the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms.
Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in our properties, we may not be able to re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. If we are unable to re-let promptly all or a substantial portion of the space located in our properties or if the rental rates we receive upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our net income and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders will be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in rent receipts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of their leases. See “Item 2. Properties – Lease Expirations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to the scheduled lease expirations in our portfolio.
Possible liability relating to environmental matters.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under our property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). These laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those substances. This liability may be imposed on us in connection with the activities of an operator of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and our liability therefore could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce our revenues and ability to make distributions.
A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although our tenants are primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease.
From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, and prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as required by our financing sources, we authorize the preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to our properties. Based upon these environmental reports and our ongoing review of our properties, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we are not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that the environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at our properties or that the following will not expose us to material liability in the future:
    The discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions;
 
    Changes in law;
 
    Activities of tenants; and
 
    Activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties.

14


Table of Contents

Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties and to attract and retain tenants.
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources than we have that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REIT’s, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that we wish to purchase. In addition, retailers at our properties face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents payable to us; (ii) reduce our ability to attract and retain tenants at our properties; and (iii) lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties.
We have pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities which may result in significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources.
We have pursued extensive growth opportunities. This expansion has placed significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of our real estate portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on its resources. Our future performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified management personnel to manage the growth and operations of our business and to finance such acquisitions. In addition, acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the numerous factors that may affect the value of real estate. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to identify and manage acquired properties or otherwise be able to maintain our historic rate of growth.
Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our earnings growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties, including acquisitions through co-investment programs such as joint ventures. In the context of our business plan, “development” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of our extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement our strategy because we may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing.
Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or force majeure that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.
A component of our growth strategy is through private-equity type investments made through our RCP Venture. These include investments in operating retailers. The inability of the retailers to operate profitably would have an adverse impact on income realized from these investments.
Our board of trustees may change our investment policy without shareholder approval.
Our board of trustees will determine our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. Our board of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. Although our board of trustees has no present intention to revise or amend our strategies and policies, it may do so at any time without a vote by our shareholders. Accordingly, our shareholders’ control over changes in our strategies and policies is limited to the election of trustees, and changes made by our board of trustees may not serve the interests of all of our shareholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations, including our ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT.
There can be no assurance we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
We believe that we have met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Internal Revenue Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REIT’s are more complex than those applicable to corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. If we do not qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. We also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash available for distribution to our shareholders would be significantly reduced for each year in which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make distributions. Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us, without the consent of the shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification.

Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our operating flexibility.
To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income for that calendar year. Our taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which our distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year; (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and; (iii) 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to reduce exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining our income and the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT.
Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial condition.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rent loss insurance on most of our properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain rent loss insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or acts of God that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose capital invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types would adversely affect our financial condition.
Limits on ownership of our capital shares.
For the Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of our capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year after 1993, and such capital shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year). Our Declaration of Trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of our capital shares and ownership limits that are intended to assist us in satisfying these limitations. These restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases, however, to prevent the transfer of our capital shares in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limit discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us.
Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in excess of the share ownership limits contained in our Declaration of Trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be null and void from the beginning and subject to purchase by us at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the price stipulated in the challenged transaction; and (ii) the fair market value of such shares (determined in accordance with the rules set forth in our declaration of trust). As a result, if a violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.
Adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.
There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of failing to continue to qualify as a REIT. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REIT’s or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our shareholders. Recently enacted legislation reduces tax rates applicable to certain corporate dividends paid to most domestic noncorporate shareholders. REIT dividends generally are not eligible for reduced rates because a REIT’s income generally is not subject to corporate level tax. As a result, investment in non-REIT corporations may be viewed as relatively more attractive than investment in REIT’s by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares.
Concentration of ownership by certain investors.
Six shareholders own 5% or more individually, and 42.7% in the aggregate, of our Common Shares. A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor to exert a greater influence over our management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.
Restrictions on a potential change of control.
Our Board of Trustees is authorized by our Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. We have not established any series of preferred shares. However, the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could make more difficult a change of control of us that could be in the best interest of the shareholders.

In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and severance agreements are in place with our senior vice presidents which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us and either the termination of their employment without cause (as defined) or their resignation for good reason (as defined), those executive officers would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years’ average bonuses, paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change of control of us that could be in our best interest.
The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on us.
Our success depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Although we have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kenneth F. Bernstein, the loss of his services could have an adverse effect on our operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES:
SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES
The discussion and tables in this Item 2 include properties held through consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures in which we own a partial interest (“Consolidated Joint Venture Portfolio” and Unconsolidated Joint Venture Portfolio”, respectively). Except where noted, it does not include our partial interest in 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger and Safeway supermarkets. These are detailed separately within this Item 2 as the majority of these properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases.
As of December 31, 2006, we owned and operated 47 shopping centers as part of our wholly-owned portfolio and Consolidated and Unconsolidated Joint Venture Portfolios, which included a mixed-use property (retail and residential), and twelve properties under redevelopment. Our shopping centers, which total approximately 8.4 million square feet of gross leaseable area (“GLA”), are located in 14 states and are generally well-established, anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. The operating properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 15,000 to 815,000 square feet with an average size of 116,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2006, our wholly-owned portfolio and the Consolidated and Unconsolidated Joint Venture Portfolios (excluding properties under redevelopment) were 94.0% and 95.1% occupied, respectively. Our shopping centers are typically anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail.
We had approximately 656 leases as of December 31, 2006. A majority of our rental revenues were from national tenants. A majority of the income from the properties consists of rent received under long-term leases. Most of these leases provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of a pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Minimum rents and expense reimbursements accounted for approximately 82% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 43% of our existing leases also provided for the payment of percentage rents either in addition to, or in place of, minimum rents. These arrangements generally provide for payment to us of a certain percentage of a tenant’s gross sales in excess of a stipulated annual amount. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 1% of the total 2006 revenues of the Company.
Seven of our shopping center properties are subject to long-term ground leases in which a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. We pay rent for the use of the land at seven locations and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all seven locations.

KROGER/SAFEWAY PORTFOLIO
In January of 2003, Fund I formed a joint venture (the “Kroger/Safeway JV”) with an affiliate of real estate developer and investor AmCap Incorporated (“AmCap”) for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of twenty-five supermarket leases for $48.9 million inclusive of the closing and other related acquisition costs. The portfolio, which aggregates approximately 1.0 million square feet, consists of 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger (12 leases) and Safeway supermarkets (13 leases). The majority of the properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases. The Kroger/Safeway JV acquired the portfolio subject to long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options, averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The rental options for the supermarket leases at the end of their primary lease term in approximately three years (“Primary Term”) are at an average of $5.13 per square foot. Although there is no obligation for the Kroger/Safeway JV to pay ground rent during the Primary Term, to the extent it exercises an option to renew a ground lease for a property at the end of the Primary Term, it will be obligated to pay an average ground rent of $1.55 per square foot.

(b) Dividends
We have determined that for 2006, 100% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders represented ordinary income. There was no unrecaptured section 1250 gain or nontaxable return of capital in 2006. Our cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, our operating expenses, the interest expense on our borrowings, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated capital expenditures. Future dividends paid by us will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flows, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant.
(c) Issuer purchases of equity securities
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. Through March 1, 2007, we had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million. All of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
(d) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
The following table provides information related to our 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) as of December 31, 2006:

Notes:
(1)   The 1999, 2003 and 2006 Plans authorize the issuance of options equal to up to a total of 12% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. The 2006 Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum number of 500,000 Common Shares. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 and 2003 Plans. No participant may receive more than 500,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2006 Plan.

Notes:
(1)   The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REIT’s. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Reconciliation of Net Income to Funds from Operations” for the reconciliation of net income to FFO.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We currently operate 74 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, consisting of 72 neighborhood and community shopping centers and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. We receive income primarily from the rental revenue from tenants at our properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.
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 portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component located in markets with strong demographics.
 
    Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities.
 
    Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions.
 
    Partner 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006”) to the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005”)
The Brandywine Portfolio operations were consolidated as part of Fund I for the year ended December 31, 2005. Subsequent to the recapitalization and conversion of interests from Fund I to GDC in January 2006, the Brandywine Portfolio is accounted for under the equity method of accounting for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the following tables, we have excluded the Brandywine Portfolio operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 for purposes of comparability with the year ended December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to additional rents following our acquisition of Chestnut Hill, Clark Diversey, A&P Shopping Plaza, 2914 Third Avenue and Boonton Shopping Center (60% owned) as well as Fund II acquisitions of Sherman Avenue and 161st Street in New York and a leasehold interest in Chicago (“2005/2006 Acquisitions”).
Expense reimbursements for both common area maintenance (“CAM”) and real estate taxes increased in 2006. CAM expense reimbursement increased $0.4 million as a result of higher tenant reimbursements following the 2005/2006 Acquisitions, offset by a decrease in tenant reimbursements as a result of lower snow removal costs in 2006. Real estate tax reimbursements increased $1.8 million, primarily as a result of the 2005/2006 Acquisitions, as well as general increases in real estate taxes across the portfolio.
The decrease in other property income was the result of receipt of a bankruptcy claim settlement against a former tenant in 2005.
Management fee income increased primarily as a result of fees earned in connection with the acquisition of the Klaff management contract rights in February 2005 and additional management fees earned from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
The increase in interest income was attributable to interest income on our advances and notes receivable originated in 2005 and 2006, as well as higher balances in interest earning assets in 2006.
Other income increased as a result of a $1.1 million reimbursement of the Company’s share of certain fees incurred by the institutional investors of Fund I for the Brandywine Portfolio, as well as $0.5 million related to termination of an interest rate swap in 2006.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the recovery of approximately $0.5 million related to the settlement of our insurance claim in connection with the flood damage incurred at the Mark Plaza in 2005, increased property operating expenses related to the 2005/2006 Acquisitions and higher bad debt expense in 2006. These increases were offset by lower snow removal costs during 2006.
The increase in real estate taxes was due to general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the portfolio, as well as increased real estate tax expense related to the 2005/2006 Acquisitions.
The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily attributable to increased compensation expense of $2.7 million, including stock-based compensation of $0.9 million, and $0.9 million of other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased investment in development-intensive projects in Fund assets and asset management services.
Depreciation expense increased $1.4 million in 2006. This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense related to the 2005/2006 Acquisitions. Amortization expense increased $1.9 million, which was primarily the combination of an increase in amortization related to the 2005/2006 Acquisitions, specifically, amortization of tenant installation costs of $1.0 million, amortization of leasehold interest of $0.5 million and amortization of loan costs of $0.2 million. In addition, amortization expense increased $0.2 million related to the write off of certain Klaff management contracts following the disposition of these assets in 2006.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased during 2006 primarily as a result of the gains recognized from the sale of Mervyns assets in 2005.
Interest expense increased $7.4 million as a result of higher average outstanding borrowings in 2006.
Minority interest variance is attributable to the minority partner’s share of gains from the sale of Mervyns assets in 2005.
The variance in income tax expense relates to taxes at the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) level on our share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations during 2005.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold in 2006 and 2005.

Minimum rents within our Funds I and II (“Funds”) increased $4.6 million primarily a result of minimum rents from properties we acquired through the Funds during 2004 and 2005 (“2004/2005 Fund Acquisitions”) as discussed in “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” in Item 7 of this Form 10K. $1.9 million of the increase in minimum rents was attributable to additional rents following our purchase of Amboy Road shopping center in July 2005, re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the remaining balance of our portfolio.
Tenant expense reimbursements within our Funds increased $0.9 million primarily a result of our 2004/2005 Fund Acquisitions. Real estate tax reimbursements within the balance of the portfolio increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of general increases in real estate taxes as well as re-tenanting activities. CAM expense reimbursements within the balance of our portfolio increased $0.5 million as a result of increased tenant reimbursements of higher snow removal costs in 2005.
Management fee income increased primarily as a result of management fees earned related to our acquisition of certain management contract rights from Klaff in January 2004 and February 2005.
The increase in interest income was a combination of additional interest income earned on our notes receivable originated in 2004 and 2005 and additional interest income earned following our preferred equity investment in Levitz SL in 2005.

Property operating expenses within our Funds decreased $0.6 million primarily as a result of the reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts as a result of the recovery of amounts due from Penn Traffic following its bankruptcy and the partial recovery of previous years CAM billings previously disputed by tenants. The decrease in property operating expenses within our remaining portfolio was primarily a result of our recovery of $0.5 million in 2005 related to the settlement of our insurance claim in connection with the flood damage incurred at Mark Plaza. A non-recurring charge of approximately $0.7 million related to this flood damage was recorded in 2004. This decrease was partially offset by higher snow removal costs in 2005.
Real estate taxes increased $0.8 million within our Funds primarily as a result of our 2004/2005 Fund Acquisitions. General increases in real estate taxes due to increases in assessments and tax rates were also experienced across our remaining portfolio.
The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense and other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased investment activity in fund assets and asset management services.
The $1.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense in 2005 within our Funds was primarily attributable to our 2004/2005 Fund Acquisitions. Within the balance of our portfolio, depreciation expense increased $0.3 million primarily related to capitalized tenant installation costs in 2004 and 2005. Amortization expense increased primarily as a result of the write-off of acquisition costs totaling $0.5 million allocable to specific Klaff management contracts following the disposition of the related assets.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships increased primarily as a result of our share of gain from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations.
The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to our Fund Acquisitions and higher average interest rates on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2005.
The gain on sale of land in 2004 was related to a prior year sale of a contract to purchase land to the Target Corporation. We received additional sales proceeds of $0.9 million which were being held in escrow pending the completion of certain site work by the buyer. Of these proceeds, $0.5 million were distributed to our joint venture partner in the sale and are a component of minority interest in the accompanying financial statements.
Income taxes in 2005 relate to our share of the income taxes on gain from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations during the third and fourth quarters of 2005.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold during 2004 and 2005 as well as property held for sale subsequent to 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, debt service and loan repayments, and property investment which include the funding of our joint venture commitments, acquisition, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting activities.
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 first three quarters during 2006, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. In December of 2006, our Board of Trustees approved and declared an 8.1% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.20 per Common Share and Common OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2006, which was paid January 16, 2007.
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”)
In September 2001, the Operating Partnership committed $20.0 million to a newly formed joint venture with four of our institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on a leveraged basis.
On January 4, 2006, we recapitalized a one million square foot retail portfolio located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”) through a merger of interests with affiliates of GDC Properties (“GDC”). The Brandywine Portfolio was recapitalized through a “cash out” merger of the 77.8% interest, which was previously held by the institutional investors in Fund I (the “Investors”) to affiliates of GDC at a valuation of $164.0 million. The Operating Partnership, through a subsidiary, retained our existing 22.2% interest and continue to operate the Brandywine Portfolio and earn fees for such services. At the closing, the Investors, excluding the Operating Partnership, received a return of all their capital invested in Fund I and preferred return, thus triggering the Operating Partnership’s Promote distribution in all future Fund I distributions and increasing the Operating Partnership’s interest in cash flow and income from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote. In June 2006, the Investors received $36.0 million of additional proceeds from this transaction following the replacement of bridge financing provided by them with permanent mortgage financing
As of December 31, 2006, we have a total of 32 properties totaling 2.0 million square feet as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”)
On June 15, 2004, we closed our second acquisition fund, Fund II, which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900.0 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the preferred return is 8%. As of December 31, 2006, $122.6 million has been contributed to Fund II, of which the Operating Partnership’s share is $24.5 million.
Fund II has invested in the RCP Venture and the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiatives and other investments as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of Form 10-K .
New York Urban/ Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. As retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, Fund II’s intent is to capitalize on this trend by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A, formed Acadia-P/A for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest. Operating cash flow is generally to be distributed pro-rata to Fund II and P/A until each has received a 10% cumulative return and then 60% to Fund II and 40% to P/A. Distributions of net refinancing and net sales proceeds, as defined, follow the distribution of operating cash flow except that unpaid original capital is returned before the 60%/40% split between Fund II and P/A, respectively. Upon the liquidation of the last property investment of Acadia-P/A, to the extent that Fund II has not received an 18% internal rate of return (“IRR”) on all of its capital contributions, P/A is obligated to return a portion of its previous distributions, as defined, until Fund II has received an 18% IRR. To date, Fund II has, in conjunction with P/A, invested in seven projects through Fund II as follows:

Other Investments
During 2005 and 2006, we made the following other investments as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K:
(i) $16.8 million in Amboy Road
(ii) $4.0 million for Klaff’s management rights
(iii) $9.8 million for Clark/Diversey
(iv) $3.2 million for Boonton Shopping Center
(v) $16.0 million for Chestnut Hill and
(vi) $18.5 million for 2914 Third Avenue.
Property Development, Redevelopment and Expansion
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
During 2006, the Company commenced the redevelopment and re-tenanting of the Bloomfield Town Square, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. A former outparcel building, occupied by Chrysler Dodge, was demolished and replaced with a 17,500 square foot building occupied by Drexel Heritage and Panera Bread. The new tenants opened and commenced paying rent during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, and are paying base rent at a 127% increase over that of Chrysler Dodge. In addition, the Company has re-tenanted approximately 26,000 square feet to Circuit City which is anticipated to open and commence paying rent in the fourth quarter of 2007 at a 79% increase over that of the former tenants. Total costs for this project are anticipated to be $3.3 million.
Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2007, we currently estimate that capital outlays of approximately $4.8 million to $6.5 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements.
Share Repurchase
Repurchases of our Common Shares is an additional use of liquidity as discussed in Item 5 of this Form 10-K.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II as the primary vehicle for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting, as well as future repurchases of Common Shares are expected to be obtained primarily from issuance of public equity or debt instruments, cash on hand, additional debt financings, unrelated member capital contributions and future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2006, we had a total of approximately $162.2 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities, cash and cash equivalents on hand of $139.6 million, and eight properties that are unencumbered and available as potential collateral for future borrowings. In addition, on February 26, 2007, we through our RCP Venture, received a cash distribution totaling approximately $42.5 million from our ownership position in Albertsons. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution amounted to approximately $8.5 million and is subject to income tax considerations. The distribution resulted from

cash proceeds obtained by Albertsons in connection with its disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held in the entity. We anticipate that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all of our debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Issuance of Convertible Notes
In December 2006, we issued $100.0 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes. These Notes were issued at par and are due in 2026. In January 2007, an option was exercised to issue an additional $15.0 million of Convertible Notes. The $112.1 million in proceeds, net of related costs, were used to retire variable rate debt, fund capital commitments and general company purposes.
Issuance of Equity
During January 2007, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing offerings for up to a total of $300.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. To date, we have not issued any securities pursuant to this shelf registration.
During November 2004, we issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”). The Offering was made under shelf registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Following this transaction, we have $46.7 million of remaining capacity to issue equity under our primary shelf registration statement.
Financing and Debt
At December 31, 2006, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $445.2 million, net of unamortized premium of $2.2 million, and were collateralized by 52 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 3.75% to 8.5% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $16.0 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $351.0 million of the portfolio, or 79%, was fixed at a 5.2% weighted average interest rate and $94.2 million, or 21% was floating at a 6.7% weighted average interest rate. There is $54.9 million of debt maturing in 2007 at weighted average interest rates of 6.3%. We intend to refinance the indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
Reference is made to Note 6 and Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that begin on page F-9 of this Form 10-K for a summary of the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2005.
Asset Sales
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold the Soundview Marketplace, Bradford Towne Center, Greenridge Plaza, Luzerne Street Shopping Center and Pittston Plaza. During 2005 and 2004, we sold the Berlin Shopping Center and East End Centre. These sales are discussed in “ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2006, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from July 2007 to November 2032. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at seven of our shopping centers. We lease space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. The following table summarizes our debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases of December 31, 2006:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have a non-controlling interest. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income from but not the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.
    We own a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). Our pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of December 31, 2006 was $31.4 million. This fixed-rate debt bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014.
 
    We own a 22.2% investment in various entities which own the Brandywine Portfolio. Our pro-rata share of Brandywine debt as of December 31, 2006, was $36.9 million with a fixed interest rate of 5.99%. These loans mature on July 1, 2016.
 
    We have 50% interests in two Fund I investments of which our pro-rata share of mortgage debt (net of the Fund I minority interest share) as of December 31, 2006, was $2.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.97%. Both of these loans mature during August 2010.
In addition, we have arranged for the provision of five separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2006, there was no balance outstanding under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be approximately $3.1 million.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following discussion of historical cash flow compares our cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006 with our cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Cash and cash equivalents were $139.6 million and $90.5 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase of $49.1 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:
                         
    Years Ended December 31,  
(amounts in millions)   2006     2005     Variance  
Net cash provided by operating activities
  $ 39.6     $ 50.2     $ (10.6 )
Net cash used in investing activities
    (58.9 )     (135.5 )     76.6  
Net cash provided by financing activities
    68.4       159.4       (91.0 )
 
                 
Totals
  $ 49.1     $ 74.1     $ (25.0 )
 
                 
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from a decrease of $22.0 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2006, which was primarily due to $20.9 million of distributions of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates as a result of the distributions from Mervyns in 2005, as well as those factors discussed within Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition, a net increase of $11.4 million resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily rents receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of a $44.1 million decrease in cash used for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations, $34.5 million of additional proceeds from the sale of properties in 2006, a net decrease of $28.1 million related to the 2005 Levitz preferred equity investment (Note 4) and the 2006 Levitz note receivable (Note 4) activity and $5.6 million of additional return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates in 2006. These net decreases were offset by $26.2 million of additional investments in unconsolidated partnerships, primarily the Albertsons investment in 2006 and $8.1 million of additional notes issued in 2006.
The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from $148.2 million of additional cash used for the net repayment of debt in 2006 and $36.1 million of additional distributions to partners and members in 2006, primarily relating to the Mervyns investment. These net decreases were partially offset by $100.0 million of proceeds from the Convertible Debt issuance in 2006.

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. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value. For properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the year ended December 31, 2006, no impairment loss was recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2005, an impairment loss of $0.8 million was recognized related to a property that was sold in July of 2005. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2006 or 2005.
Bad Debts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and straight-line rent. As of December 31, 2006, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2006, we had total mortgage debt of $445.2 million of which $351.0 million, or 79%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $94.2 million, or 21%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2006, we were a party to two interest rate swap transactions to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $16.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt. We also have one forward-starting interest rate swap which commences during 2007 and matures in 2012 that will hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $8.4 million of refinanced LIBOR-based variable rate debt with the matching maturities.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2006 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (amounts in millions):

Of our total consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt, $54.9 million and $34.9 million will become due in 2007 and 2008, 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 $0.9 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable debt of $94.2 million as of December 31, 2006 would increase $0.9 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2006, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $16.4 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 $17.7 million.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2006.
(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006.
BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Financial Statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 which appears in this item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and our report dated March 1, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
/s/ BDO Seidman, LLP
New York, New York
March 1, 2007
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company operated 74 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2006, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
In 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million in investments. As of December 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership has contributed $16.2 million to Fund I and $2.7 million to Mervyns I.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner of Fund I and managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds. Decisions made by the general partner, as it relates to purchasing, financing, and disposition of properties, are subject to the unanimous disapproval of the Advisory Committee of Fund I, which is comprised of representatives from each of the four institutional investors. Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return, and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing and construction services) was to be distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a carried interest (“Promote”). Following the recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio in January 2006, all capital contributions and the required 9% cumulative preferred return were distributed to the institutional investors. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all future earnings and distributions.
In June 2004, the Company formed a limited liability company, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and in August 2004 formed another limited liability company, Mervyn II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II expect to be able to acquire up to $900.0 million of investments on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exception that the preferred return is 8%. As of December 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership has contributed $17.1 million to Fund II and $7.4 million to Mervyns II.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5. The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as minority interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Principles of Consolidation, continued
Variable interest entities within the scope of Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”) are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a variable interest entity and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
On January 4, 2006, Fund I recapitalized its investment in a one million square foot shopping center portfolio located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”). The recapitalization was effected through the conversion of the 77.8% interest which was previously held by the institutional investors in Fund I to affiliates of GDC Properties (“GDC”) through a merger of interests in exchange for cash. The Operating Partnership has retained its existing 22.2% interest in the Brandywine Portfolio in partnership with GDC and continues to operate the portfolio and earn fees for such services. Following the January 2006 recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in this investment and, accordingly, currently accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method as it does not exercise control over significant asset decisions such as buying, selling or financing nor is it the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R, as discussed above. Under the equity method, the Company increases its investment for its proportionate share of net income and contributions to the joint venture and decreases its investment balance by recording its proportionate share of net loss and distributions. The Company recognizes income for distributions in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company. For investments in which there is recourse to the Company, distributions in excess the investment are recorded as a liability.
The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next twelve months is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. No impairment charges were recognized in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Use of Estimates
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of trade accounts receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant shopping center expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings and the shorter of the useful life or lease term for improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142,” Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and allocates purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event, or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2005, an impairment loss of $0.8 million was recognized related to a property that was sold in July of 2005. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2006.
Sale of Real Estate Assets
The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the full accrual method at closing when the warnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate deferral methods.
Investment in Real Estate –Held-for Sale
The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate each quarter. Assets that are classified as held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held-for-sale once management commits to a plan to sell the properties and has initiated an active program to market them for sale. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported.
On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held-for-sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related debt obligation.
Management Contracts
Income from management contracts, net of sub-management fees of $0.3 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively, is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition cost of the management contracts is being amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $6.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively and deferred rents related to the straight lining of rents were $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rents are recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual terms of the notes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow
Restricted cash and cash in escrow consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.
Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as well as comply with certain other requirements as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.
Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
TRS income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as required SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRS assets and liabilities.

Stock-based Compensation
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 123R effective June 30, 2005. As such, all stock options granted after December 31, 2001 are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted. As provided for in SFAS No. 123, the Company elected the “prospective method” for the adoption of the fair value basis method of accounting for employee stock options. Under this method, the recognition provisions have been applied to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for vested stock options granted prior to January 1, 2002.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140”. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of SFAS No. 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and (e) amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 155.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.” (“Interpretation No. 48”), Interpretation No. 48 defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interpretation No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of Interpretation No. 48 on its effective date will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. As a result of the adoption of SAB No. 108, the Company recorded a $1.8 million cumulative effect of straight-line rent adjustment for prior years effective January 1, 2006. This adjustment was the result of changing the calculation of tenants straight-line rent from rent commencement date to the date the tenant took possession of the space. This adjustment is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as an increase to both rents receivable, net and retained earnings.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payments transactions under SFAS No. 123. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial statements.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 159.

In March, 2004, the Company, through a newly-formed joint venture with an unaffiliated third-party 10% investor, acquired a $9.6 million first mortgage loan secured by a shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, which was in default, for $5.5 million and subsequently acquired the fee interest in this property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In September, 2004 this joint venture acquired an adjacent property for a cash price of $1.5 million. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company exchanged its common equity interest in these properties for a 15% preferred equity position. As a result of the afore-mentioned exchange, as of December 31, 2005, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method (Note 4).
On September 29, 2004, Acadia-P/A purchased 400 East Fordham Road in the Bronx, New York for $30.2 million, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs for cash. Subsequent to the closing, Acadia P/A financed this acquisition with an $18.0 million mortgage loan from a bank which bears interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures November 2007. On February 25, 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased a parcel of land adjacent to 400 E. Fordham Road for $0.9 million, inclusive of closing and related acquisition costs.
On October 1, 2004, Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York.

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. 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. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

Retailer Controlled Property Venture
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”) with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”) and Klaff’s long-time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. On September 2, 2004, affiliates of Fund I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, invested in the acquisition of Mervyns through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyns from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was $1.2 billion, with such affiliates’ combined $24.6 million share of the investment divided equally between them. The Operating Partnership’s share of the Mervyns investment totaled $5.2 million. Since inception, Mervyns I and II received distributions totaling $50.8 million and recognized income of $23.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Mervyns I and II received distributions of $4.6 million and recognized $2.2 million of income representing the excess distribution over its remaining capital.
During 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment with its participation in the acquisition of Albertsons. Affiliates of Fund II, through the same limited liability companies which were formed for the investment in Mervyns, invested $20.7 million in the acquisition of Albertsons through the RCP Venture, along with others as part of an investment consortium. The Operating Partnership’s share of the invested capital was $4.2 million.
During 2006, Fund II made additional investments of $4.1 million, through the RCP Venture, in two Albertsons investments, Camellia and Newkirk, and in Shopko and Marsh. The Operating Partnership’s share of the additional investments totaled $0.7 million. Consequently, the Company accounts for these investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership percent interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies.
Brandywine Portfolio
On January 4, 2006, the institutional investors of Fund I transferred their 77.8% interest in the Brandywine Portfolio into affiliates of GDC in exchange for cash. The Operating Partnership transferred its 22.2% share of the Brandywine Portfolio into affiliates of GDC in exchange for a 22.2% interest in such affiliates. Prior to the closing of this transaction, the Operating Partnership provided $17.6 million of mortgage financing secured by certain properties within the Brandywine Portfolio. This financing was repaid in June 2006.
Other Investments
Fund I Investments
Fund I has joint ventures with third party investors in the ownership and operation of Hitchcock Plaza, Pine Log Plaza, Sterling Heights Shopping Center, and Haygood Shopping Center. The Hitchcock Plaza is a 234,000 square foot shopping center located in Aiken, South Carolina. Adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza is the 35,000 square foot Pine Log Plaza. Sterling Heights Shopping Center is a 155,000 square foot community shopping center located in Detroit, Michigan. Lastly, Haygood Shopping Center is a 178,000 square foot center located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The investments in these properties are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
In the fourth quarter 2006, Fund I completed the purchase of the remaining 50% interest in the Tarrytown Centre, a 35,000 square foot center located in Westchester, New York, from its unaffiliated partner. This investment, which had previously been accounted for using the equity method, is now consolidated.
Fund II Investments
Fund II acquired for $1.0 million, a 50% equity interest from its partner in the RCP Venture in the entity which has a leasehold interest in a former Levitz Furniture store located in Rockville, Maryland. The investment in this property is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Crossroads
The Company owns a 49% interest in the Crossroads Joint Venture and Crossroads II Joint Venture (collectively, “Crossroads”), which collectively own a 311,000 square foot shopping center in White Plains, New York. The Company accounts for its investment in Crossroads using the equity method. The unamortized excess of the Company’s investment over its share of the net equity in Crossroads at the date of acquisition was $19.6 million. The portion of this excess attributable to buildings and improvements are being amortized over the life of the related property.

B. Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investment
In March 2005, the Company invested $20.0 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity Investment”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Levitz Properties”) totaling 2.5 million square feet, of which the majority are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores (which filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in October 2005). Klaff Realty L.P. (“Klaff”) is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity Investment received a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2.0 million per annum. During March 2006, the rate of return was reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points or 11.5%.
In June 2006, the Company converted the Preferred Equity Investment to a first mortgage loan in the amount of $31.3 million. The loan has a maturity date of May 31, 2008 and has an interest rate of 10.5%. The loan was secured by fee and leasehold mortgages as well as a pledge of the entities owning 19 of the Levitz Properties totaling 1.8 million square feet. During the third quarter of 2006, Levitz SL sold one of the Levitz Properties located in Northridge, California and used $20.4 million of the proceeds to partially pay down the loan. As of December 31, 2006, the loan balance amounted to $10.9 million and is included in Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investment on the consolidated balance sheet. Management believes that the underlying value of the real estate is sufficient to recover the mortgage and accordingly, no reserve is required at December 31, 2006.

Deferred charges consist of the following as of December 31, 2006 and 2005:

6. Mortgage and Other Notes Payable
At December 31, 2006, mortgage and other notes payable were collateralized by 52 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 5.0% to 8.5% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to November 2032. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.
On January 12, 2006, in conjunction with the purchase of a property, the Company assumed a loan of $3.8 million which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% and matures on April 11, 2028.
On January 24, 2006, in conjunction with the purchase of a partnership interest, the Company assumed a loan of $8.6 million which bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.4% and matures on November 1, 2032.
On February 22, 2006, the Company refinanced a property within its existing portfolio for $20.5 million. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.4% and matures on March 1, 2016.
On March 27, 2006, the Company refinanced a property for $30.0 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points and matures on April 1, 2008. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay down the existing $12.1 million of debt on this property.
On May 18, 2006, the Company closed on a construction loan for a property up to $12.0 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 165 basis points and matures on May 18, 2009. Proceeds from this loan will be drawn down as needed and will be used to fund construction work. As of December 31, 2006, the amount outstanding on this loan was $5.4 million.
On June 16, 2006, in conjunction with the purchase of a property, the Company assumed a loan of $10.1 million which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.45% and matures on June 11, 2013.
On July 12, 2006, the Company closed on a construction loan for a property for $19.2 million. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and matures on December 31, 2008.

On September 8, 2006, the Company financed a property for $23.5 million. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.06% and matures on August 29, 2016.
On November 3, 2006, in conjunction with the sale of a property, the Company paid off $5.3 million of debt. This loan was cross-collateralized with another property. As part of the payoff, the other property mortgage balance was reduced by $1.5 million.
On December 14, 2006, in conjunction with the sale of a property, the Company paid off $8.2 million of debt.
On December 18, 2006, the Company paid off $2.5 million on an existing loan. The remaining balance on this loan is $2.9 million.
On December 19, 2006, the Company modified two existing facilities with the Bank of America which were collateralized by eight of the Company’s properties into a new $75.0 million revolving credit facility collateralized by seven of the properties and a new $16.0 million term loan on the remaining property. Utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt (Note 7) the Company paid off the existing facilities balances in December 2006. The new $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which can be increased up to $88.0 million based on collateral performance, bears interest at LIBOR plus 125 basis points and matures on December 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2006, there was no outstanding balance on this facility. The new $16.0 million term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis points and matures on December 1, 2011. The above transactions were reflected as a modification of debt in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-19, “Debtors Accounting for Modifications or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.
During March 2005, the Company obtained a secured revolving line of credit with a bank for $70.0 million. The revolving line of credit bears interest rate either at Prime plus 0% or LIBOR plus 0.75% at borrower’s option. The loan matures at the earlier of three years or the date on which capital commitments have been fully drawn. As of December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on this facility was $24.4 million. On January 18, 2006, the Company drew an additional $1.8 million on this facility. On April 21, 2006, the Company paid down $15.0 million on this facility. On June 1, 2006, the Company drew an additional $19.2 million on this facility. On June 22, 2006, the entire existing balance of $30.4 million was paid off by the Company.

7. Convertible Notes Payable
In December 2006, the Company issued $100.0 million of convertible notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and pay interest in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2007. The Convertible Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. There was an option to increase the issuance of the Convertible Notes by an additional $15.0 million, which was exercised on January 8, 2007, resulting in additional proceeds of $14.7 million. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of $30.86 per share. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will deliver cash and, in some circumstances, Common Shares, as specified in the indenture relating to the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes may only be converted prior to maturity: (i) during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2006 (and only during such calendar quarter), if, and only if, the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Shares for at least 20 trading days (whether consecutive or not) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the conversion price per common share in effect on the applicable trading day; or (ii) during the five consecutive trading-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the notes was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Shares multiplied by the applicable conversion rate; or (iii) if those notes have been called for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day prior to the redemption date; or (iv) if the Company’s Common Shares are not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange for 30 consecutive trading days. Prior to December 20, 2011, the Company will not have the right to redeem Convertible Notes, except to preserve its status as a REIT. After December 20, 2011, the Company will have the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The Holders of notes may require us to repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December 15, 2021 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.

7. Convertible Notes Payable, continued
If certain change of control transactions occur prior to December 20, 2011 and a holder elects to the Convertible Notes in connection with any such transaction, the Company will increase the conversion rate in connection with such conversion by a number of additional common shares based on the date such transaction becomes effective and the price paid per common share in such transaction. The conversion rate may also be adjusted under certain other circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends in excess of our current regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per Common Share, but will be not adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on the notes.
Upon a conversion of notes, the Company will deliver cash and, at the Company’s election, its Common Shares, with an aggregate value, which the Company refers to as the “conversion value”, equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the average price of the Company’s Common Shares as follows: (i) an amount in cash which the Company refers to as the “principal return”, equal to the lesser of (a) the principal amount of the converted notes and (b) the conversion value; and (ii) if the conversion value is greater than the principal return, an amount with a value equal to the difference between the conversion value and the principal return, which the Company refers to as the “new amount”. The net amount may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash, its Common Shares or a combination of cash and its Common Shares.
The scheduled principal repayments of all indebtedness as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:
         
2007
  $ 60,033

Common Shares

The selling shareholders, Yale University and its affiliates (“Yale”) and Ross Dworman, a former trustee, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. The Company did not sell any Common Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.
During November 2004, the Company issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”). The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, was used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Yale and Kenneth F. Bernstein, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, also sold 1,000,000, and 110,000 Common Shares, respectively, in connection with this transaction. Mr. Bernstein sold 110,000 Common Shares in connection with his exercise of options to purchase 150,000 Common Shares. In October 2005, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which at the time owned approximately 3.8% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases. This waiver of the Company’s share ownership limitation permitted this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 6% of the Company’s shares through December 31, 2005, or an aggregate of up to 9.8% of the Company’s Common Shares.
Through December 31, 2006, the Company had repurchased 2,051,605 Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million (all of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued) under its share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of its outstanding Common Shares. The repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction of par value and additional paid-in capital.

In February 2005, the Company issued $4.0 million (250,000 Restricted Common OP Units valued at $16.00 each) of Restricted Common OP Units to Klaff in consideration for the 25% balance of certain management contract rights as well as the rights to certain potential future revenue streams. This followed the acquisition of 75% of the management contract rights from Klaff in January 2004 as reflected below. The Restricted Common OP Units are convertible into the Company’s Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five-year lock-up period. $1.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to investment in management contracts in the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the estimated remaining life of the contracts. For both years 2006 and 2005, $0.2 million of these Klaff management contracts were written off following the disposition of these assets. The remainder of the $2.9 million purchase price has been allocated to deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet. $1.1 million of these allocated costs have been identified to future revenue streams and are being amortized over the estimated life of each deal. The remaining $1.8 million will be allocated over future acquisitions as they occur.
During 2005 and 2004, various limited partners converted a total of 746,762 and 2,058,804 Common OP Units into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Mr. Dworman, a trustee of the Company, received 34,841 of Common OP Units through various affiliated entities during 2003 (Note 9).
The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued on November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center. Certain Series A Preferred OP Unit holders converted 696 Series A Preferred OP Units into 92,800 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares in both 2006 and 2005. The Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. After the seventh anniversary following their issuance, either the Company or the holders can 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.
4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units were issued to Klaff in January 2004 in consideration for the acquisition of 75% of certain management contract rights. The Preferred OP Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. Additionally, Klaff may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units after the earlier of the third anniversary of their issuance, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in the control of the Company. Finally, after the fifth anniversary of the issuance, the Company may redeem the Preferred OP Units and convert them into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date. The $4.0 million purchase price is reflected in the investment in management contracts in the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the estimated life of the contracts. For both years 2006 and 2005, $0.5 million of these Klaff management contracts were written off following the disposition of these assets. Subsequent to December 31, 2006,, Klaff converted 3,800 Series B Preferred Units into 296,412 Common OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares (Note 21).

10. Tenant Leases
Space in the shopping centers and other retail properties is leased to various tenants under operating leases that usually grant tenants renewal options and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volume.
Minimum future rentals to be received under non-cancelable leases for shopping centers and other retail properties as of December 31, 2006 are summarized as follows:
         
(dollars in thousands)        
2007
  $ 77,415

2011
    49,610  
Thereafter
    326,043  
 
     
 
  $ 658,859  
 
     
Minimum future rentals above include a total of $0.3 million for two tenants (with three leases), which have filed for bankruptcy protection. None of these leases have been rejected nor affirmed. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.
11. Lease Obligations
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 $4.5 million, $3.5 million, and $1.5 million (including capitalized ground rent at properties under development of $3.4 million, $2.7 million and $0.7 million) for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The leases terminate at various dates between 2008 and 2066. Four of these leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 20 to 60 years. The Company leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. Office rent expense under this lease was $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

12. Share Incentive Plan
During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which replaced both the 1994 Share Option Plan and the 1994 Non-Employee Trustees’ Share Option Plan. The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 8% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 Plan. Options are granted by the Share Option Plan Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of two non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee with the exception of options granted to non-employee Trustees, which vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant.
The 1999 Plan also provides for the granting of share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units/shares. Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common Shares, at the discretion of the committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the grant date. The Committee will determine the award and restrictions placed on restricted shares, including the dividends thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2006, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares have been awarded.
During 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) because no Common Shares remained available for future grants under the 1999 Plan. The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units (collectively, “Awards”) to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company. The 2003 Plan is generally identical to the 1999 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2003 Plan is four percent of the Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards. Pursuant to the 2003 Plan, non-employee Trustees receive an automatic grant of 3,000 options following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) because relatively few Common Shares remained available for future grants under the 1999 and 2003 plans. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of Awards to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company. The 2006 Plan is substantially similar to the 2003 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2006 Plan is 500,000 Common Shares. No participant may receive more than 500,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2006 Plan with respect to Awards.
On January 6, 2006, the Company issued 62,630 options to Officers (“Officers”) and Employees (“Employees”) of the Company.
On May 16, 2006, the Company issued 18,000 options, 3,461 unrestricted shares and the equivalent of 1,340 Common Shares through a deferred compensation plan to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. The options vest immediately.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has 492,372 options outstanding to officers and employees of which 433,839 are vested. These options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and vest in three equal annual installments which begin on the grant date. In addition, 58,000 options have been issued to non-employee Trustees of which 57,400 options were vested as of December 31, 2006.
On January 6, 2006, (the “Grant Date”), the Company also issued a total of 121,233 Restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) to Officers and 13,136 Restricted shares (net of subsequent forfeitures) to certain Employees of the Company. In general, the Restricted Shares carry all the rights of Common Shares including voting and dividend rights, but may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to Officers, which is subject to the recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is over five years commencing with 30% on the Grant Date and 17.5% on each of the next four anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 50% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to Employees, which is subject to the recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is over five years commencing with 30% on the Grant Date and 17.5% on each of the next four anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 25% of the unvested Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.

12. Share Incentive Plan, continued
The total value of the above restricted share awards on the date of grant was $2.7 million, of which $2.0 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued a total of 224,901 Restricted Shares to Officers and 28,706 Restricted Shares to Employees in connection with a special, one-time performance bonus recognizing management’s outstanding achievements in enhancing shareholder values over the previous five years, including, but not limited to, total shareholder return and the recent recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio. The Restricted Shares vest over a period of five years. 50% will vest on the third anniversary and 25% will vest on the following two anniversaries of the Grant Date. The total value of this special bonus was $5.2 million which will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2005, 133,468 Restricted Shares (net of forfeitures) were issued pursuant to the 2003 Plan. The total value of the Restricted Share awards on the date of grant was $2.2 million which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period. No awards of share appreciation rights or performance units/shares were granted for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, $2.7 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, were recognized in compensation expense related to Restricted Share grants.
The Company has used the Binomial method for 2006 and 2005 and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for 2004 for purposes of estimating the fair value in determining compensation expense for options granted for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company has also used this model for the pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by SFAS No. 123 for options issued for the year ended December 31, 2001 as if the Company had also accounted for these employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for the options issued by the Company was estimated at the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions resulting in:
                         
    Years ended December 31,

As of December 31, 2006, there was $7.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was $2.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
13. Employee Stock Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
In 2003, the Company adopted the Acadia Realty Trust Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), which 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. The amount of the payroll deductions will not exceed a percentage of the participant’s annual compensation that the Committee establishes from time to time, and a participant may not purchase more than 1,000 Common Shares per quarter. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the average closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, 5,307, 6,412 and 6,397 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan. Associated compensation expense of $0.02 million was recorded in each year.
     In August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election pursuant to the 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (“Share Units”) that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise of certain options. The payment of the option exercise price was made by tendering Common Shares that the participants owned for at least six months prior to the option exercise date. The Share Units are equivalent to a Common Share on a one-for-one basis and carry a dividend equivalent right equal to the dividend rate for the Company’s Common shares. The deferral period is determined by each of the participants and generally terminates after the cessation of the participants continuous service with the Company, as defined in the agreement. In December 2004, optionees exercised 346,000 options pursuant to the Deferred Share Election and tendered 155,513 Common Shares in consideration of the option exercise price. In 2004 the Company issued 155,513 Common Shares to optionees and 190,487 Share Units. During 2006 and 2005 there were no additional Share Units contributed to the plan.
14. Employee 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $0.02 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company contributed $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
15. Dividends and Distributions Payable
On December 4, 2006, the Company declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 of $0.20 per Common Share. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2007 to shareholders of record as of December 29, 2006.

16. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no U.S. Federal income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at the regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise taxes on any undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s TRS are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
The primary difference between the GAAP and tax reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are a higher GAAP basis in its real estate properties. This is primarily the result of assets acquired as a result of property contributions in exchange for OP Units.

17. Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments. Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Notes Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to Related Parties and Other Liabilities. The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.
Derivative Instruments — The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.
Mortgage Notes Payable and Notes Payable — As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable, including those relating to discontinued operations, are $439.1 million and $422.1 million, respectively, by discounting future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage notes payable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2006. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks:

17. Financial Instruments, continued
Derivative Financial Instruments, continued:
Derivative instruments are reported at fair value as reflected above. The fair value of the derivative instruments is included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2005, the derivative instruments were reported at fair value as a derivative instrument asset of $0.8 million and derivative instrument liability of $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, unrealized losses totaling $0.2 and $0.01 million, respectively, represented the fair value of the aforementioned derivatives, of which $(0.2) million and $(0.01) million, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Company’s interest rate hedges are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on mortgage debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, such as those held by the Company, as well as interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or earnings depending on the type of hedging relationship. For cash flow hedges, offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification occurs over the same time period in which the hedged items affect earnings. At December 31, 2006, approximately $0.4 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings.
18. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to common shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each year consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

    651       265       571  
 
                 
Denominator for diluted earnings per share
    33,153       32,214       29,912  
 
                 
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations
  $ 0.49     $ 0.62     $ 0.39  
 
                 
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations
  $ 0.48     $ 0.61     $ 0.38  
 
                 
The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested restricted shares (Note 12) and Share Units (Note 13) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

20. Commitments and Contingencies
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems that may exist. Where a Phase II assessment is so recommended, a Phase II assessment was conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company accrued a reserve for $0.7 million related to flood damage incurred at one of its properties. Under the terms of the Company’s insurance policy, a maximum deductible of approximately $0.7 million would apply in the event the flood damage was the direct result of a “named” storm. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company reduced the reserve by $0.5 million due to the settlement of the insurance claim.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
21. Subsequent Events
In February 2007, Klaff converted 3,800 Series B Preferred Units into 296,412 Common OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares.
On January 8, 2007, the Initial Purchasers exercised their option pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to purchase an additional $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $14.7 million.
On February 26, 2007 the Company, through its RCP Venture, received a cash distribution totaling approximately $42.5 million from its ownership position in Albertsons. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution amounted to approximately $8.5 million. The distribution resulted from cash proceeds obtained by Albertsons in connection with its disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of the remaining assets held in the entity.
