ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 1.          THE COMPANY

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company”) is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of neighborhood and community shopping centers.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”) and its majority-owned partnerships. As of September 30, 2005, the Company controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner.

The Company operates 71 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 69 neighborhood and community shopping centers and two multi-family properties, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.

2.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Non-controlling investments in partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods.

The preparation of the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2005 presentation.

In 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus that the general partners in a limited partnership should determine whether they control a limited partnership based on the application of the framework as discussed in EITF 04-5- Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). Under EITF 04-5, the general partners in a limited partnership are presumed to control that limited partnership regardless of the extent of the general partners' ownership interest in the limited partnership.The assessment of whether the rights of the limited partners should overcome the presumption of control by the general partners is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances. If the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights, the general partners do not control the limited partnership. EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for new partnerships formed and existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified on or after June 29, 2005, and, for all other partnerships, EITF 04-5 would be effective no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The provisions of EITF 04-5 may be initially applied through either one of two methods: (1) similar to a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle or (2) retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 04-5 as it relates to the method of accounting utilized for its investments in Funds I and II (note 7), which are currently accounted for under the equity method of accounting. There would be no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity for any of the reported periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements if the Company were to consolidate these investments. If the Company was required to consolidate these investments, total assets, total liabilities and minority interest as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 would be as follows:

    September 30,
2005
  December 31 ,
2004
 
   

 

 
Total assets   $ 790,393   $ 624,832  
   

 

 
Total liabilities   $ 457,775   $ 344,330  
   

 

 
Minority interest   $ 111,811   $ 63,578  
   

 

 

3.          EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) outstanding during each period consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share”. 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.

    Three months ended   Nine months ended  
    September 30,   September 30,  
Numerator:   2005   2004   2005   2004

3.          EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (continued)

The effect of the conversion of common units in the Operating Partnership (“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. The effect of the conversion of Series A and B Preferred OP Units (“Preferred OP Units”) which would result in 429,879 additional Common Shares for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 522,679 Common Shares for the three months ended September 30, 2004, is not reflected in the above table as such conversions would be anti-dilutive.

 4.          COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The following table sets forth comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

      Three months ended
September 30,
    Nine months ended
September 30,
 
      2005     2004     2005     2004  
   

 

 

 

 
Net income   $ 7,225   $ 2,895   $ 16,015   $ 9,509  
Other comprehensive income (loss) 1     1,795     (1,968 ) 2,418   1,331  
   

 

 

 

 
Comprehensive income   $ 9,020   $ 927   $ 18,433   $ 10,840  
   

 

 

 

 


Notes: 
1 Relates to the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and the amortization of terminated swap agreements.

The following table sets forth the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005:

Balance at December 31, 2004   $ (3,180 )
Amortization of swap value     330  
Unrealized loss on valuation of swap agreements   2,088
   

 
Balance at September 30, 2005   $ (762 )
   

 

As of September 30, 2005 the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss was comprised of unrealized losses on the valuation of current swap agreements and the unamortized portion of terminated swap agreements.

5.          SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS

Employee stock-based compensation   838
 

 

 

Balance at September 30, 2005   $ 220,807 $ 9,274 $ 1,510
 

 

 



 
Notes:  
(1) Net income attributable to minority interest in the Operating Partnership and distributions do not include a distribution on Series A and Series B Preferred OP Units totaling $254.  

Minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents (i) the limited partners’ interest of 653,360 and 392,255 Common OP Units at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, (ii) 884 and 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, with a nominal value of $1,000 per unit, which are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (a) $22.50 per unit (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (b) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit, and (iii) 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 with a nominal value of $1,000 per unit, which are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (a) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per unit or (b) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. Minority interests in majority-owned partnerships represent third-party interests in four partnerships in which the Company has a majority ownership position.

During July 2005, certain holders of 696 Series A Preferred OP Units converted these into Common OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares.

During July 2005, the Company issued to a third party 11,105 Restricted Common OP Units valued at $18.01 per unit in connection with the purchase of 4343 Amboy Road. The holder of the Common OP Units is restricted from selling these for six months.

5.          SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS (Continued)

In February 2005, the Company issued $4,000 (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 25% of certain potential future revenue streams . This follows the acquisition of 75% of the management contract rights and 75% of certain potential future revenue streams from Klaff in January 2004.  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. $1,116 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. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet and will be allocated to future revenue streams as identified.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”)

In June of 2004, the Company formed a joint venture (“Fund II”), with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets.  The total committed capital for Fund II is $300,000, of which the Company’s share is $60,000.  The Company is the sole managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture and is also entitled to profit participation in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds.  The Company also earns market-rate fees for asset management as well as for property management, construction, legal and leasing services.  Decisions made by the managing member, as they relate to purchasing, financing and disposition of properties, are subject to the unanimous disapproval of the Advisory Committee, which is comprised of representatives from each of the six institutional investors.

On September 29, 2004, in conjunction with an investment partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), Fund II purchased 400 East Fordham Road in the Bronx, NY for $30,197, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs.  The Company had provided a bridge loan of $18,000 to Fund II in connection with this acquisition.  Subsequent to the acquisition, Fund II repaid this loan from the Company with $18,000 of proceeds from a new loan from a bank which bears interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures November 2007. On February 25, 2005, Fund II, in conjunction with P/A, purchased a parcel of land adjacent to 400 E. Fordham Road for $867, inclusive of closing and related acquisition costs.

On April 6, 2005, in conjunction with P/A, Fund II purchased a 140,000 square foot building located in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, NY.  The building was acquired for a purchase price of $25,000.  Fund II plans to redevelop the site to include retail, commercial and residential components totaling over 300,000 square feet. In September 2005, Fund II obtained a mortgage loan of $19,000 secured by this property which requires monthly payments of interest only at a fixed interest rate of 5.256% and matures September 2007.

During July 2005, Fund II, in conjunction with its partners in the Retailer Controlled Property Venture, invested $1,000 for a 50% interest in a leasehold for a Levitz Store located in Rockville, Maryland.

On August 5, 2005, Fund II in partnership with P/A, purchased 260 East 161st Street in the Bronx, NY for $49,374, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. Concurrent with the closing, Fund II and P/A obtained a short term loan of $12,066 which bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points and matures December 2005.

13.          STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. As such, stock based compensation awards granted after December 31, 2001 have been expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted.

On January 3, 2005 (the “Grant Date”), the Company issued 50,342 options (net of subsequent forfeitures) to officers and employees. The options, which have an exercise price of $16.35, are for ten-year terms and vest one third as of the Grant Date and one third on each of the next two anniversaries thereof. The Company has determined a value of $2.57 per option using the binomial method for valuing such options. In prior periods, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes method for valuing options granted and believes that the binomial method more accurately reflects the value of the options. This change had no material effect on the value of the unvested options or the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, compensation expense of $11 and $75 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

On the Grant Date, the Company also issued a total of 109,826 restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) to executive officers (“Officers”) and 23,872 Restricted Shares (net of subsequent forfeitures) to certain employees (“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 ratably over four years commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and each of the next three anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 50% of these 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 ratably over five years commencing on the Grant Date and each of the next four anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 25% of these Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Company’s Common Shares.

The total value of the above restricted share awards on the date of grant was $2,179 which will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $131 and $475 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these Restricted Shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

14.          PREFERRED EQUITY INVESTMENT

In March of 2005, the Company invested $20,000 in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Properties”), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff Realty L.P. (“Klaff”) is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2,000 per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period. In October 2005, Levitz Furniture filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. The Company has a preferred equity investment of $19,500 at September 30, 2005. This investment was not made based on Levitz remaining as a tenant, but rather based on the underlying value of the real estate, which management believes is sufficient to recover our equity investment and the return attributable thereto. Accordingly, no reserve is required at September 30, 2005.

15.          CONTINGENCIES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reduced a previously recorded reserve by $480 related to the settlement of its insurance claim in connection with the flood damage incurred at Mark Plaza located in Wilkes-Barre, PA.  The Company had previously provided a reserve of $730 as of December 31, 2004 related to the flood damage.

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, 2005 and 2004 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 which 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 in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.

OVERVIEW

We operate 71 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, consisting of 69 neighborhood and community shopping centers and two multi-family properties, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. We receive income primarily from the rental revenue from our properties, including expense recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. We focus on three primary areas in executing our business plan as follows:

    We focus on maximizing the return on our existing portfolio through leasing and property redevelopment activities. Our redevelopment program is a significant and ongoing component of managing our existing portfolio and it focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
   
    We pursue above-average returns through a disciplined and opportunistic acquisition program. The primary conduits for our current acquisition program are through our existing acquisition joint venture, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), as well as the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”) established to invest in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers and the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative which focuses on investing in redevelopment projects in urban, dense areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites.
   
    We focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet, which provides us with the financial flexibility to fund both property redevelopment and acquisition opportunities.

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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe 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 both properties held for use and for sale for indicators of impairment. 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, and for properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an impairment loss of $0.8 million was recognized to reduce the carrying value of the Berlin Shopping Center , which was sold during July 2005, to fair value less costs to sell. Management does not believe that the value of any other properties in our portfolio was impaired as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2005, we have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.8 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2005 (“2005”) to the three months ended September 30, 2004 (“2004”)

                Change     
               
 
    2005   2004   $   %  
   

 

 




 
Revenues:                          
Minimum rents   $ 13.3   $ 12.6   $ 0.7   6 %
Percentage rents     0.1     0.1          
Expense reimbursements     3.1     3.3     (0.2   (6 )%

Management fee income     2.9     1.6     1.3   81 %

Total revenues   $ 20.7   $ 18.1   $ 2.6   14 %
   

 

 

 

 

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to additional rents following the purchase of Amboy Road shopping center in July 2005, re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the portfolio.

Real estate tax reimbursements decreased $0.1 million and common area maintenance (“CAM”) expense reimbursements decreased $0.1 million in 2005.

Management fee income increased as a result of additional asset management and construction management fees from Fund II, and an increase in management fees related to the acquisition of certain management contract rights in January 2004 and February 2005.

The increase in interest income was attributable to our preferred equity investment in Levitz in 2005 and additional interest income on our notes receivable originated in 2005.

Total operating expenses   $ 13.6   $ 12.9   0.7   5 %
   

 

 

 

 

The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily a result of a non-recurring charge of approximately $0.7 million related to flood damage at the Mark Plaza in 2004 and lower bad debt expense in 2005.

The increase in real estate taxes was due to general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the 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.

Depreciation expense increased $0.1 million in 2005.  This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense following the purchase of Amboy shopping center in July 2005 and the redevelopment of Bartow Avenue being placed in service in the second quarter of 2005. Amortization expense increased $0.5 which was primarily attributable to the write off of certain Klaff management contracts following the disposition of these assets.

Income Taxes     (1.6 )       (1.6 )   (100 )%
Loss from discontinued operations     (0.1 )   (0.2 )   0.1     50 %

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships increased as a result of our share of gain, through its investments funds, from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations and our share of bankruptcy proceeds received from Penn Traffic through Fund I.

Interest expense increased to $3.1 million in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to 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 $0.4 million which were being held in escrow pending the completion of certain site work by the buyer. Of these proceeds, $0.2 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 income taxes on the gain, through its investment funds, from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations during the quarter.

Loss from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold during 2004 and 2005.

Total revenues   $ 60.7   $ 52.8   $ 7.9 15 %
   

 

 

 

 

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to additional rents following the purchase of Amboy Road shopping center in July 2005, re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the portfolio.

Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.3 million, primarily as a result of general increases in real estate taxes as well as re-tenanting activities throughout the portfolio. CAM expense reimbursements increased $0.1 million as a result of increased tenant reimbursements of higher snow removal costs in 2005.

Management fee income increased as a result of additional leasing fees from Fund I in 2005, asset management fees from Fund II, which was formed in June 2004, and an increase in management fees related to the acquisition of certain management contract rights in January 2004 and February 2005.

The increase in interest income was a combination of additional interest income on our advances and notes receivable originated in 2004 and 2005 and additional interest income earned following our preferred equity investment in Levitz in 2005.

Total operating expenses   $ 39.6   $ 36.5   $ 3.1   8 %
   

 

 

 

 

The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily a result of the 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 during 2005.

Real estate taxes increased as a result of general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the 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.

Depreciation expense increased $0.3 million in 2005.  This was principally a result of increased depreciation expense related to capitalized tenant installation costs in 2004 and 2005. Amortization expense increased $0.6 which was primarily attributable to the write off of certain Klaff management contracts following the disposition of these assets.

Back to Index

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships increased as a result of our share of gain, through its investments funds, from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations and the Company’s share of bankruptcy proceeds received from Penn Traffic through Fund I.

The increase in interest expense was attributable to higher average interest rates on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2005 of $0.8 million offset by a $0.2 million decrease resulting from lower average outstanding borrowings 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 the gain, through its investment funds, from the sale of certain Mervyn’s locations during the quarter.

Loss from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold during 2004 and 2005. Included in 2005 is an impairment charge of $0.8 million related to the Berlin Shopping Center which was sold in July 2005.

Funds from Operations

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

Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

      Three months ended   Nine months ended  
      September 30,   September 30,

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for distributions to our shareholders and OP unitholders, 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. During September 2005, our Board of Trustees approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1725 per Common Share and Common OP Unit for the second quarter of 2005 which was paid July 15, 2005. Preferred Series A and B OP Unit holders also received this quarterly distribution based on the number of Common OP Units they would receive in a hypothetical conversion of their Preferred OP Units.

Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”)

In September 2001, we 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. As of September 30, 2005, we have contributed $19.2 million to Fund I.

We are the manager and general partner of Fund I with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on our invested equity, we are entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is to be distributed pro-rata to the partners (including us) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 80% to the partners (including us) and 20% to us. We also earn a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the total equity commitments, as well as market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services.

As of September 30, 2005, Fund I has purchased a total of 35 properties totaling 2.7 million square feet. The following table summarizes Fund I’s acquisitions through this date:

Notes:
1)   Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired this center. Related to this acquisition, we loaned $2.0 million to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and continues until the property is stabilized.
2)   This represents the combined purchase price for Brandywine Towne Center and Market Square Shopping Center. Fund I assumed $38.1 million of fixed rate debt on the two properties as well as obtained a new $30.0 million fixed-rate loan in conjunction with the acquisition. Brandywine Town Center is a two phase open-air value retail center. The first phase is approximately 450,000 square feet and 100% occupied. The second phase (“Phase II”) consists of approximately 450,000 square feet of existing space, of which approximately 350,000 square feet is occupied. The balance of Phase II is currently not occupied. Fund I will also pay additional amounts in conjunction with the lease-up of the current vacant space in Phase II (the “Earn-out”). To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $30.3 million for Earn-out space. The additional investment for Earn-out space is projected to be between $15.0 million and $20.0 million. To the extent Fund I places additional mortgage debt upon the lease-up of Phase II, the required equity contribution for the Earn-out would be less. The Earn-out is structured such that Fund I has no time requirement or payment obligation for any portion of currently vacant space which it is unable to lease.
3)   Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), an unaffiliated partner, provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the former loan on this property. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. We loaned $3.2 million to the property owning entity in connection with the purchase of the loan. Our note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
4)   This property, which is situated adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza, was also purchased in conjunction with Hendon. Related to this transaction, we provided an additional $0.75 million loan to Fund I with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
5)   Fund I acquired a 50% interest in the Haygood Shopping Center for $2.2 million cash and the assumption of $3.2 million in variable-rate mortgage debt.
6)   This represents the combined purchase price for Amherst Marketplace, Granville Centre and Sheffield Crossing. Fund I paid $14.1 million in cash and assumed $12.6 million of fixed-rate debt on two of the properties at a blended rate of 8.1%.
7)   Fund I acquired a 50% interest in the Sterling Heights Shopping Center for $1.0 million cash and the assumption of $2.3 million in variable-rate mortgage debt.
8)   Fund I and AmCap Incorporated (“AmCap”), an unaffiliated partner, acquired this portfolio for $14.4 million in cash and the assumption of an aggregate of $34.5 million of existing fixed-rate mortgage debt at a blended rate of 6.57%. 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).

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 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. We are 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% and the asset management fee is calculated on committed equity of $250 million through June 15, 2005 and then on the total committed equity of $300 million thereafter. As of September 30, 2005, we have contributed $13.4 million to Fund II.

To date, Fund II has invested in the RCP Venture and the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative as discussed below.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative

During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain 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 $2.0 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 they have 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. 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.

2005 New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Investments

161st Street - On August 5th 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased 244-268 161st Street located in the Bronx for $49.3 million, inclusive of closing costs. In connection with the transaction, Acadia-P/A assumed a first mortgage loan with Bank of America for $12.1 million. The loan carries variable-rate interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% with monthly payments of interest only. The loan matures December 31, 2005. 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.

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 the City of New York and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for a purchase price of $25 million. We plan to redevelop the site to include retail, commercial and residential components totaling over 300,000 square feet. The retail and commercial (including office, ‘Community Use’ and parking) portion comprise approximately 50% of the project and the residential component comprises the other 50%. Redevelopment of the project is anticipated to commence in the next 12 to 24 months with completion expected 18 months thereafter. Expected costs to complete the retail and commercial component of the project are estimated at $40 million before any potential sale of the residential air rights. In lieu of directly developing the mid-rise residential portion of the project, the rights to this component may be sold while retaining ownership of the other portions of the project.

On February 25, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired land adjacent to the 400 East Fordham Road property for $0.9 million (See “2004 New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Acquisitions – 400 East Fordham Road” below).

2004 New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Investments

400 East Fordham Road - Acadia-P/A acquired this property located in the Bronx, NY for $30.2 million. Sears is the major tenant of the property, retailing on four levels. Currently, there are also medical office tenants on the top two floors above Sears. The redevelopment of the property is scheduled to commence in 2007 following the expiration of the Sears lease, which was originally signed in 1964. However, depending on current negotiations with both Sears and other potential anchors, the timeframe of the redevelopment may be accelerated. As part of the redevelopment, there is the potential for additional expansion of up to 85,000 square feet of space. The total cost of the redevelopment project, including the acquisition cost, is estimated to be between $65 and $70 million, depending on the ultimate scope of the project.

Pelham Manor - Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year ground lease to redevelop this 16-acre site located in Westchester County, New York. The redevelopment contemplates the demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center. We anticipate the redevelopment to cost between $30 and $33 million, with construction anticipated to commence within the next 12 to 24 months. In the interim, the property will continue to be operated as an industrial and warehouse facility. Prior to commencement of the redevelopment process, the ground rent payment is projected to equal the warehouse rents collected.

RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”)

During 2004, we entered into the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”) with 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. 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. We and our current acquisition funds, Funds I and II, anticipate investing 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). We also anticipate earning market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture.

In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s.  Affiliates of Funds I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, 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. Affiliates of Funds I and II invested equity aggregating $23.5 million on a non-recourse basis which was divided equally between them, of which $4.9 million was our share of the equity investment. Mervyn’s is a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration.

In July 2005, 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.

Other Investments

In March of 2005, we invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Properties”), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2 million per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period.

During July of 2005, we purchased 4343 Amboy Road (“Amboy Road”) located on 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. The property is subject to a 23-year ground lease.

Back to Index

In January 2004, we acquired 75% of Klaff’s rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests comprised of approximately 10 million square feet of retail space located throughout the United States (the “Klaff Properties”) as well the rights to 75% of certain future revenue streams. The acquisition includes only Klaff’s rights associated with operating the Klaff Properties and does not include equity interests in assets owned by Klaff or Lubert-Adler. The Operating Partnership issued $4 million of Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition.

Effective February 15, 2005, we acquired the balance of Klaff’s rights to provide the above services and certain potential future revenue streams. The consideration for this acquisition was $4 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.

Share Repurchase

The repurchase of our Common Shares has historically been an additional use of liquidity. 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 November 9, 2005, we had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million of which 1.5 million 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 quarter ended September 30, 2005.

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 our joint venture commitments, other 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 and future sales of existing properties. As of September 30, 2005, we had a total of approximately $54.0 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities, cash and cash equivalents on hand of $8.2 million, and 9 properties that are unencumbered and available as potential collateral for future borrowings. 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.

Financing and Debt

At September 30, 2005, mortgage notes payable aggregated $206.8 million and were collateralized by 20 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 5.0% to 7.6% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to September 2015. Taking into consideration $92.9 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $170.3 million of the portfolio, or 82%, was fixed at a 5.8% weighted average interest rate and $36.5 million, or 18% was floating at a 5.4% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, $17.5 million is scheduled to mature at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9%. As we do not anticipate having sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we will need to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.

On August 31, 2005, we closed on a $17.6 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.98%. This loan, which matures September 2015, requires the payment of interest only until October 2010, and thereafter interest and principal based on 30 year amortization. The proceeds from this loan were in part used to pay down $15.0 million on an existing line.

On May 26, 2005, we closed on a $65.0 million cross-collateralized revolving facility which is collateralized by five of our properties. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis points and matures June 1, 2010. At closing, the lender advanced $12.0 million, of which $7.4 million was used to refinance an existing facility with the same lender. As of September 30, 2005, an additional $20.0 million was drawn on this line resulting in $32.0 million outstanding under this facility.

During April 2005, we borrowed $7.4 million under an existing revolving facility which was repaid in May 2005 as discussed above.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in three joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties as follows:

We own a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). We account for our investment in Crossroads using the equity method of accounting as we have a non-controlling investment in Crossroads, but exercise significant influence. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income from, but not the assets and liabilities of, Crossroads. Our pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of September 30, 2005 was $31.4 million. This fixed-rate debt bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014.

Reference is made to the discussion of Funds I and II under “Uses of Liquidity” in this Item 2 for additional detail related to our investment in and commitments to Funds I and II. We own a 22% interest in Fund I and 20% in Fund II for which we also use the equity method of accounting. Our pro rata share of Funds I and II fixed-rate mortgage debt as of September 30, 2005 was $24.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%. Our pro rata share of Fund I and II variable-rate mortgage debt as of September 30, 2005 was $15.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.8%. Maturities on these loans range from December 2005 to January 2023.

HISTORICAL CASH FLOW

The following discussion of historical cash flow compares our cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 (“2005”) with our cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (“2004”).

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.2 million and $13.1 million at September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease of $4.9 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:

    Nine months ended September 30,

Net cash provided by operating activities   $ 17.0 $ 17.9 $ (.9 )
Net cash used in investing activities   $ (58.3 ) $ (45.4 ) $ (12.9 )
Net cash provided by financing activities   $ 36.0 $ 26.3 $ 9.7

The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from an increase of $3.1 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2005, which was primarily due to (i) an increase in management and service fee income from Fund II, (ii) additional fee income from the acquisition of certain management contracts offset by (iii) additional general and administrative expenses as a result of expanding our infrastructure to support this increased level of activity.  In addition, a net decrease in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $4.0 million resulted primarily from an increase in receivables related to third party construction cost reimbursements and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a decrease in rents receivable.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from a $19.5 million Preferred Equity investment in 2005 and an $18.4 million increase in expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations during 2005. These decreases were offset by $21.2 of additional investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships in 2004 and $3.9 million of proceeds received from the sale of a property in 2005.

The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from $18.9 million of additional cash used in the net repayment of debt in 2004 offset by $7.9 million of cash provided by the exercise of stock options in 2004 and $2.6 million of additional cash paid for dividends and distributions on Common OP Units in 2005.

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. 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. We are a party to current and forward-starting interest rate swap transactions to hedge our exposure to changes in LIBOR with respect to $92.9 million and $24.5 million of notional principal, respectively.

The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2005 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (amounts in millions):

Consolidated mortgage debt:

Year   Scheduled
Amortization
  Maturities   Total   Weighted
average
interest rate
 

 
 
 
 
 
2005   $ 0.4   $   $ 0.4   n/a
2006   2.2     2.2   n/a
2007   3.9   17.5   21.4   5.9 %
2008   4.4   8.0   12.4   5.1 %
2009   5.2     5.2   n/a
Thereafter   13.8   151.4   165.2   5.4 %
 

 

 

 
  $ 29.9   $ 176.9   $ 206.8  
 

 

 

 

Mortgage debt in unconsolidated partnerships (at our pro rata share):

Year   Scheduled

  Maturities   Total   Weighted
average
interest rate
 

 

 
 
 
 
2005   $ 0.1   $ 2.3   $ 2.4   4.2 %
2006 1.0     1.0   n/a
2007 1.0   8.4   9.4   5.4 %
2008 1.4   13.6   15.0   4.7 %
2009 1.5     1.5   n/a
Thereafter 5.1   36.8   41.9   5.7 %
 

 

 

     
  $ 10.1   $ 61.1   $ 71.2  
 

 

 

 

Of our total outstanding debt, $17.5 million will become due in 2007. 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 $0.2 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable debt as of September 30, 2005 would increase by $0.4 million for a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR on our $36.5 million of floating rate debt after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps which hedge such debt. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

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

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

Part II.         Other Information
