1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment, and management of high-quality retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a strong retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.

All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2012, the Trust controlled approximately 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”).

As of September 30, 2012, the Company has ownership interests in 58 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 37 properties within three of its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund L.P. (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III” and together with Funds I, II and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV, LLC ("Fund IV"), the “Opportunity Funds”). The 95 Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund properties consist of commercial properties, which are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use properties with a retail component and self-storage properties. In addition, the Company also invests in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property initiative (“RCP Venture”).

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

Effective May 16, 2012, the Company formed Fund IV. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company completed its final closings with a total of $540.6 million of equity commitments with 17 principally institutional investors as well as some high-net worth individuals. The Operating Partnership's share of equity commitments totaled $125.0 million. As of September 30, 2012, there have been no capital contributions made to, nor any investments made by, Fund IV.

Following is the Preferred Return and Operating Partnership's equity interests in the Opportunity Funds and RCP Venture:

 Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in entities in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to

exercise significant influence but does not have financial or operating control are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings (or losses) of entities accounted for under the equity method are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in (Losses) Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise any influence are accounted for under the cost method.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Real Estate

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held-for-sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to dispose. Management does not believe that the values of any of the Company's properties are impaired as of September 30, 2012.

Involuntary Conversion of Asset
The Company experienced significant flooding that resulted in extensive damage to one of its properties during September 2011. Costs related to the clean-up and redevelopment are insured to a limit sufficient that the Company believes will allow for full restoration of the property. Loss of rents during the redevelopment are covered by business interruption insurance subject to a $0.1 million deductible. The Company plans to restore the improvements that were damaged by the flooding and expects that the costs of such restoration and rebuilding will be recoverable from insurance proceeds. In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and as a result of the above-described property damage, the Company has recorded a write-down of the asset's carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of approximately $1.4 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company has recorded an insurance recovery in the same amount that is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has also provided a $0.1 million provision in the 2011 year-end consolidated statement of income of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has received initial insurance proceeds of approximately $6.9 million but is still in the process of finalizing all claims related to the flood with the insurance carrier.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments, which primarily require additional fair value disclosure, are to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU No. 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive
income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of the alternative chosen, companies must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income within the presentation of both net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 as of December 31, 2011 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification," which clarifies current guidance found in ASC Topic 810 as to the proper accounting in situations when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. ASU No. 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

2.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At September 30, 2012, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 13) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.

Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit (“Restricted Share Units”) and share option awards issued under the Company's Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and for the three months ended September 30, 2011, but would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

During the third quarter 2012, the Company completed its at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program with an aggregate offering amount of $75.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Under this program, the Company issued 3.3 million Common Shares which generated net proceeds of $73.7 million.

During August 2012, the Company established a new ATM equity program with an additional aggregate offering amount of up to $125.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Through September 30, 2012, the Company issued approximately 1.0 million Common Shares under this new ATM which generated gross proceeds of approximately $25.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $25.0 million. The net proceeds from these ATM equity programs will be used by the Company primarily to fund acquisitions directly in the Core Portfolio and through its capital contributions to the Opportunity Funds.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in entities consolidated in the accompanying financial statements that the Company does not own. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from shareholders' equity and include third party interests in the Company’s Opportunity Funds and other entities. It also includes interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 384,376 and 279,748 Common OP Units at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011; and (iii) 230,441 and 217,826 LTIP Units at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES (continued)

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

The Company along with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company (“LLC”). These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to the Company. Investments under the RCP Venture are structured as separate joint ventures as there may be other investors participating in certain investments in addition to Klaff, Lubert-Adler and Acadia. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the “Acadia Investors”), all on a non-recourse basis. Through September 30, 2012, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores (“Mervyns”) and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments (“Add-On Investments”). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertsons under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

The Company accounts for the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments under the cost method. Due to its minor ownership interest, based on the size of the investments as well as the terms of the underlying operating agreements, the Company has no influence over such entities' operating and financial policies. Other than the minority investor rights to which the Company is entitled pursuant to statute, it has no rights other than to receive its pro-rata share of cash distributions as declared by the managers of the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments. The Company has no rights with respect to the control and operation of these investment vehicles, nor with the formulation and execution of business and investment policies.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received RCP Venture distributions from Albertsons Add-On investments and Rex Stores totaling $3.9 million of which the Operating Partnership's share totaled $0.8 million.

In September 2008, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities (the "Investor Consortium") were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyn's LLC ("Mervyns") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The action involved five claims alleging fraudulent transfers in which Mervyns was nominally seeking approximately $1.175 billion in damages from the Investor Consortium, although the actual claims made by the administrator and the unsecured creditors were substantially less. The first claim contended that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation ("Target") to the Investor Consortium, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. The Company

believed that this aspect of the case was without merit. The remaining four claims relate to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times after the sale by Target. The Company believed that there were substantial defenses to these claims.

During the third quarter of 2012, the parties to this litigation arrived at an agreement to settle the claim. The settlement, was approved by the bankruptcy court and provides for a payment of $163.7 million. Based on the defendants' agreement, the net cost of the settlement to the Investor Consortium would amount to approximately $143.6 million. After applying cash on hand at the investee level, Mervyns I and Mervyns II's combined contribution to this settlement will be approximately $0.9 million. In addition, the Company reduced its carrying value of these investments from $6.3 million to its fair value of $5.5 million. In total, this resulted in a charge of $1.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, of which the Operating Partnership's share, net of income taxes was $0.2 million.

Other Opportunity Fund Investments
The unaffiliated venture partners for Fund III's investments in Lincoln Road, Parkway Crossing, Arundel Plaza, Self-Storage Management and the White City Shopping Center maintain control over these entities and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.
Fund III owned an 84% interest in the Shop Rite at Orchard Center, which was accounted for using the equity method. During the second quarter of 2012, this property was sold for $13.8 million.
During the third quarter of 2012, Fund III acquired a 90% interest in Arundel Plaza (Note 4).
During the second quarter of 2012, Fund III made a 49% equity investment in an entity that holds a $2.2 million note receivable that is collateralized by a property. The note bears interest at 6% and matures February 2, 2017. As the unaffiliated venture partner maintains control over this entity, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.
During June 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties, including the 14 locations currently owned through Fund II and Fund III. Fund III has a 50% interest in the entity. This entity was determined to be a variable interest entity for which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

During August 2012, the Company obtained a deed in lieu of foreclosure on a property located in Farmingdale, New York encumbered by its $10.0 million first mortgage loan (Note 4).
During April 2012, the Company acquired a first mortgage loan, collateralized by a property located in Brooklyn, New York, for $18.5 million. The loan, with an initial maturity date of May 2012, has been in default since November 2011 and has been accruing interest at a 16.0% annual default interest rate. As of September 30, 2012, the loan had an outstanding balance of $23.5 million, including default interest, and was in maturity default. The Company has commenced foreclosure proceedings and a receiver has been appointed.
Allowances for real estate notes receivable are established based upon management's quarterly review of the investments. In performing this review, management considers the estimated net recoverable value of the loan as well as other factors, including the fair value of any collateral, the amount and status of any senior debt, and the prospects for the borrower. Because this determination is based upon projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amounts ultimately realized from the loans may differ materially from the carrying value at the balance sheet date. The Company charges additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses.

The activity in the allowance for notes receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is as follows:

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of September 30, 2012, the Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of nine interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $161.0 million, which effectively fix LIBOR at rates ranging from 0.52% to 3.79% and mature between November 2012 and September 2022. The Company is also a party to one forward interest rate swap transaction with respect to $12.5 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt. The Company also has five derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $181.0 million which cap variable-rate interest at rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.0% and mature between October 2012 and September 2015. The fair value of these derivative instruments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was a liability totaling $4.9 million and $3.5 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risks.

These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows of variable-rate interest payments on mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair value reflected above. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, unrealized losses totaling $4.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges, hedges of net investments in foreign operations or considered to be ineffective. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
In conjunction with its implementation of updates to the fair value measurements guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements on a net basis.

10.         FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012:

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

Financial Instruments

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

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

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has five reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Self-Storage Investments, Notes Receivable and Other. “Notes Receivable” consists of the Company's notes receivable and related interest income. “Other” consists primarily of management fees and other interest income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in the Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of the Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The following tables set forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and does not include unconsolidated affiliates:

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”). The 2003 share incentive plan was terminated upon the approval by the shareholders of the Company of the Share Incentive Plan at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May 2012. The Share Incentive Plan increased the amount of options, Restricted Shares and LTIP Units available to officers and employees by 1.9 million shares.

On March 15, 2012, the Company issued a total of 279,611 LTIP Units and 1,358 Restricted Share Units to officers of the Company and 9,435 Restricted Share Units to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 17% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures. Unvested LTIP Units provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments (Note 2).

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

13.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)

The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $6.4 million, of which $2.6 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2011 and $3.8 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million has been recognized in the accompanying statements of income related to these awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. The Company has awarded units representing 81% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of September 30, 2012. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.

14.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During October 2012, the Company acquired a 129,000 square foot single-tenant property occupied by Home Depot located in Bloomfield, New Jersey for $12.5 million.
During October 2012, the Company completed a public share offering of approximately 3.5 million Common Shares for $86.9 million. Net proceeds after expenses were approximately $85.8 million.
During October 2012, Fund III refinanced 11 of its self-storage facilities for $120.0 million. The new loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 215 basis points and matures October 24, 2013, and has a one-year extension option. The proceeds from this loan were used to pay off the existing $41.9 million loan on six self-storage facilities and, together with cash available in Fund III, liquidated the balance of the amount outstanding under the Fund III subscription line of credit in the amount of $82.9 million and terminated the subscription line of credit agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the three and nine months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors are set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (our “2011 Form 10-K”) and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, including the current post-recessionary period, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development, acquisition and investment; risks related to our use of leverage; demands placed on our resources due to the growth of our business; risks related to operating through a partnership structure; our limited control over joint venture investments; the risk of loss of key members of management; uninsured losses; REIT distribution requirements and ownership limitations; concentration of ownership by certain institutional investors; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.


OVERVIEW
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive redevelopment and re-anchoring activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset acquisition and recycling initiative.

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

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

These may also include joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.

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

As of September 30, 2012, we operated 95 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our Opportunity Funds. These properties consist of commercial properties, which are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use properties with a strong retail component and self-storage properties. The properties we operate are located primarily along the East Coast and in Chicago.

Core Portfolio

Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through

27




our Opportunity Funds. There are 58 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling approximately 5.1 million square feet. As of September 30, 2012, the Core Portfolio physical occupancy was 92.9%; leased occupancy was 94.8% including executed leases.

Opportunity Funds

Fund I has three remaining properties comprising 97,500 square feet.

Fund II has nine properties representing 1.2 million square feet, seven of which are currently operating, one of which is under construction, and one of which is in the design phase. Three of the properties also include self-storage facilities.

Fund III has 25 properties totaling approximately 2.8 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 1.1 million net rentable square feet are self-storage facilities.

The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity style, as opposed to solely real estate, investments. Since these are not generally traditional investments in operating rental real estate but investments in operating businesses, the Operating Partnership principally invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2011 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of the significant variances and primary factors contributing thereto within the results of operations are addressed below (where there were no significant variances in the tables, the information is presented without further discussion):

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds decreased primarily as a result of the Mervyns legal settlement expenses of $1.7 million during 2012 following the settlement of certain legal proceedings (reference is made to Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q) and a decrease of $4.5 million in distributions in excess of basis from our

Albertson's investment in 2011.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to a property sale during 2012. Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company's 2012 and 2011 dispositions.

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

See Note (1) on page 28.

Rental income in the Core Portfolio increased $7.2 million primarily as a result of additional rents of (i) $3.5 million following the 2012 Core Acquisitions, (ii) $2.4 million following the 2011 Core Acquisitions and (iii) $0.8 million from the Core Redevelopment Properties. Rental income in the Opportunity Funds increased from additional rents of (i) $2.0 million following the 2012 Fund Acquisitions, (ii) $2.3 million following the 2011 Fund Acquisitions and (iii) $2.4 million from the Fund Redevelopment Properties. Rental income in the Self Storage Investments increased $1.7 million primarily as a result of increased occupancy throughout the Storage Portfolio.

Interest income in Notes Receivable and Other decreased primarily as a result of the full repayment of two notes during 2011. This was partially offset by new notes originated during 2012.

Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance ("CAM") as a result of the Fund Redevelopment Properties and the 2012 and 2011 Fund Acquisitions.

Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds decreased primarily from those factors as discussed for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These were partially offset by our share of the $3.4 million gain on the sale of an unconsolidated Opportunity Fund investment during 2012.

The $1.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the Core Portfolio was attributable to the purchase of mortgage debt at a discount during 2011.

Interest expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $1.1 million in 2012 primarily as a result of the purchase of the Company's Convertible Notes in 2011 and an increase in capitalized interest in 2012. Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $1.1 million in 2012 which was primarily attributable to higher average interest rates in 2012 resulting in an increase of $2.6 million. This was partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million due to a decrease in average outstanding borrowings in 2012.

The variance in the income tax provision in the Core Portfolio was attributable to an overaccrual of the 2010 tax liability recorded in 2011 at the TRS level.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to property sales in 2012 and 2011. Reference is made to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company's 2012 and 2011 dispositions.

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


CORE PORTFOLIO

The following discussion of net property operating income ("NOI") and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes both consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Our Opportunity Funds invest primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and redevelopment. Given that the Opportunity Funds are finite-life investment

31




vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. As a result, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Opportunity Fund investments.

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

SELF-STORAGE PORTFOLIO
We, through Funds II and III, own a portfolio of fourteen self-storage properties, with 1.1 million of net rentable square feet, located throughout New York and New Jersey. We derive revenues principally from rents received from our customers that rent units at our self-storage facilities under month-to-month leases. Therefore, our operating results depend on our ability to retain our existing customers and lease our available self-storage units to new customers while maintaining and, where possible, increasing the rent we charge.
As of September 30, 2012, the self-storage portfolio was, in the aggregate, 92.8% occupied. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we had storage unit move-ins of 2,484 and storage unit move-outs of 2,463, out of a total of approximately 16,000 storage units.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

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

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

The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders, OP unit holders and LTIP Unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Core Portfolio and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Opportunity Funds, and (iii) debt service and loan repayments.

Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and LTIP Unit holders totaling $8.5 million and $24.5 million, respectively.

Investments

Fund I and Mervyns I

During 2001, we formed a limited partnership, Fund I, and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Mervyns I, with four institutional investors with $90.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. As of September 30, 2012, $86.6 million has been invested in Fund I and Mervyns I, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $19.2 million. Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all invested capital and accumulated preferred return thus triggering our Promote in all future Fund I and Mervyns I earnings and distributions.

Fund I currently has ownership interests in three assets comprising 97,500 square feet.

Reference is made to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of RCP investments made by Mervyns I to date.

Fund II and Mervyns II
 
During 2004, we, along with the same investors in Fund I and two new institutional investors, formed Fund II, and Mervyns II with $300.0 million, in the aggregate, of committed discretionary capital. Fund II's primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the RCP Venture which are discussed below. As of September 30, 2012, all of the $300.0 million in capital commitments has been invested in Fund II and Mervyns II, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $60.0 million.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative

In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, formed Acadia Urban Development LLC (“Acadia Urban Development”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain mixed-use real estate properties which include a significant retail component in the New York City metropolitan area. To date our partner has invested its maximum commitment of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance.

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

Retailer Controlled Property Venture

Reference is made to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of RCP investments made by Fund II and Mervyns II to date.

Fund III
 
During 2007, we formed Fund III with 14 institutional investors, including all of the investors from Fund I and a majority of the investors from Fund II with capital commitments aggregating $502.5 million of committed discretionary capital. As of September 30, 2012 a total of $341.0 million capital commitments have been invested in Fund III, of which the Operating Partnership contributed $67.9 million. Following the launch of Fund IV during 2012, the Fund III acquisition phase was concluded and the total future capital commitments reduced to $134.0 million. This amount is expected to be used to fund acquisitions completed through October 2012 and existing redevelopment projects of which the Operating Partnership's share of this is expected to be $26.7 million. As a result, the total capital to be invested for Fund III from inception is anticipated to be $475.0 million.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative

Fund III has invested in one New York Urban Infill Redevelopment located in Brooklyn, New York. Costs incurred to date for this property acquired during 2007 totaled $22.8 million through September 30, 2012. As this project is still in the design phase, the timing and ultimate costs of redevelopment are indeterminable at this time.

Other Fund III Investments
During April 2012, Fund III acquired a loan, collateralized by a property, for $18.5 million.

Following a final closing during September 2012, Fund IV has not yet made any investments.

Notes Receivable

Reference is made to Note 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of our 2012 notes receivable investments.

Core Portfolio Property Acquisitions, Redevelopment and Expansion

Through October 31, 2012, we acquired 11 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $135.2 million. Reference is made to Note 4 and to Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of these investments.

In addition to these acquisitions, we are currently under contract to purchase properties for an aggregate purchase price of $175.3 million. The majority of these potential transactions are still under due diligence review by us. Furthermore, the closings of these transactions currently under contract are subject to customary closing conditions and lender's approval for the assumption of $4.5 million of first mortgage debt. As such, no assurance can be given that we will successfully complete these transactions.
Our Core Portfolio redevelopment and re-anchoring programs focus on selecting well-located urban/street retail locations and suburban shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2011, we initiated the re-anchoring of three properties, the Bloomfield Town Square and two former A&P supermarket anchors located at our Crossroads Shopping Center and The Branch Plaza. As of September 30, 2012, the Bloomfield Town Square re-anchoring was completed. In addition, during October 2012, LA Fitness opened for business in 45,000 square feet of the space formerly leased to an A&P supermarket at The Branch Plaza. Costs to date associated with these re-anchorings totaled $10.6 million. Remaining costs associated with these re-anchorings is anticipated to range between $4.0 million and $6.0 million.

Share Repurchase

We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. Under this program we have repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares, none of which were repurchased after December 2001. As of September 30, 2012, management may cause the Company to repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

Sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) noncontrolling interests' unfunded capital commitments in Funds III and IV of $107.3 and $411.2 million, respectively, (iii) cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities, (iv) additional debt financings, (v) future sales of existing properties.

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $64.5 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $85.3 million.

Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity

During April 2012, we filed a new shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares, debt securities and other securities. We have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $393.0 million of these securities.

During January 2012, we established an at-the-market ("ATM") equity program with an aggregate offering of up to $75.0 million in Common Shares. During the third quarter 2012, we completed such ATM program. Under this program, we issued approximately 3.3 million Common Shares which generated net proceeds of approximately $73.7 million.

During August 2012, we established a new ATM equity program with an additional aggregate offering amount of up to $125.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares. Through September 30, 2012, we issued approximately 1.0 million Common Shares which generated gross proceeds of approximately $25.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $25.0 million.
During October 2012, we completed a public share offering of approximately 3.5 million Common Shares for $86.9 million. Net proceeds after expenses were approximately $85.8 million.
Opportunity Fund Activity

During the first nine months of 2012, Fund III received capital contributions of $114.3 million to fund acquisitions and to pay down a portion of Fund III's credit facility.

Effective May 16, 2012, we formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”). During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we completed its final closings with a total of $540.6 million of equity commitments with 17 institutional investors. The Operating Partnership's share of closed equity commitments totaled $125.0 million. During October 2012, Fund IV received capital contributions of $5.6 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $1.3 million.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During June 2012, Fund I sold Tarrytown Centre, a 35,000 square foot shopping center, located in Westchester, New York, for $12.8 million, resulting in net proceeds of $4.1 million. We earned $0.6 million of Promote income in connection with this transaction. Also during June 2012, Fund III sold an unconsolidated affiliate, the Shop Rite at Orchard Center, a 64,600 square foot shopping center, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, for $13.8 million, resulting in net proceeds of $9.5 million. During August 2012, Fund III sold 125 Main Street, a 27,000 square foot shopping center, located in Westport, Connecticut for $33.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $20.1 million.

Financing and Debt

As of September 30, 2012, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $872.2 million, net of unamortized discount of $0.5 million, and the mortgages were collateralized by 42 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 1.47% to 7.25% with maturities that ranged from November

37




2012 to September 2022. Taking into consideration $160.9 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $458.2 million of the mortgage and convertible notes payable, or 52.6%, was fixed at a 4.88% weighted average interest rate and $413.0 million, or 47.4% was floating at a 4.25% weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2012. There is $94.5 million of debt maturing in 2012 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.57%. Of this amount, $2.3 million represents scheduled annual amortization. As it relates to the remaining maturities in 2012, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of one separate letter of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of September 30, 2012, there was no outstanding balance under the letter of credit. If the letter of credit was fully drawn, the maximum amount of our exposure would be $4.6 million.

In addition to our derivative financial instruments, one of our unconsolidated affiliates is a party to two separate interest rate LIBOR swaps with a notional value of $29.2 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 5.54% and expire in December 2017. Our pro-rata share of the fair value of the derivative liabilities totaled $0.5 million at September 30, 2012.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2012 compared to 2011 is as follows:

The decrease of $3.2 million in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the following:

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

Additional cash of $7.5 million received in 2011 for accrued interest on a mezzanine loan
Additional cash of $5.7 million used to fund deposits for potential acquisitions during 2012

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

Additional rents received from 2012 and 2011 Core and Fund Property Acquisitions and Redevelopment Properties
Additional funding of $3.0 million for prepaid rents for the Citypoint development project during 2011

41





The increase of $91.4 million in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following:

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash from investing activities:
    
An increase of $46.6 million used in 2012 for the acquisition of real estate
An increase of $26.7 million in additional advances of notes receivable during 2012
An increase of $10.7 million in expenditures for redevelopment and tenant installations during 2012
A decrease of $46.2 million from the collection of notes receivable during 2012

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

A decrease of $27.2 million in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates in 2012 primarily related to the acquisitions of Lincoln Road and the Shop Rite at Orchard Center during 2011
An increase of $9.8 million in return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates in 2012 due to the sale of the Shop Rite at Orchard Center in 2012

The $112.6 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the following:

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

An additional $105.5 million in proceeds from mortgage notes during 2012
An additional $96.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares in connection with our ATM
An additional $78.7 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2012
An additional $22.0 million in principal payments on convertible notes during 2011

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

An increase of $123.0 million in principal payments on mortgage notes during 2012
An increase of $62.0 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests during 2012


INFLATION

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

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

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of September 30, 2012, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $872.7 million, of which $459.7 million or 52.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $413.0 million or 47.3% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2012, we were a party to nine interest rate swap transactions and five interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $160.9 million and $181.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively. We were also a party to one forward interest rate swap transactions with respect to $12.5 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $94.5 million and $170.4 million will become due in 2012 and 2013, 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

42




interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $2.6 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.6 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2012 would increase by $4.1 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.6 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

Part II.    Other Information
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
In September 2008, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, and other unrelated entities (the "Investor Consortium") were named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by Mervyn's LLC ("Mervyns") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The action involved five claims alleging fraudulent transfers in which Mervyns was nominally seeking approximately $1.175 billion in damages from the Investor Consortium, although the actual claims made by the administrator and the unsecured creditors were substantially less. The first claim contended that, at the time of the sale of Mervyns by Target Corporation ("Target") to the Investor Consortium, a transfer of assets was made in an effort to defraud creditors. The Company believed that this aspect of the case was without merit. The remaining four claims relate to transfers of assets of Mervyns at various times after the sale by Target. The Company believed that there were substantial defenses to these claims.

During the third quarter of 2012, the parties to this litigation arrived at an agreement to settle the claim. The settlement was approved by the bankruptcy court, and provides for a payment of $163.7 million. Based on the defendants' agreement, the net cost of the settlement to the Investor Consortium would amount to approximately $143.6 million. After applying cash on hand at the investee level, Mervyns I and Mervyns II's combined contribution to this settlement will be approximately $0.9 million. In addition, the Company reduced its carrying value of these investments from $6.3 million to its fair value of $5.5 million. In total, this resulted in a charge of $1.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, of which the Operating Partnership's share, net of income taxes was $0.2 million.
