PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland real estate investment
trust (“REIT”). All references to “Acadia,” “we,” “us,” ”our,” and “Company” refer to Acadia Realty
Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a fully integrated, self-managed and
self-administered equity REIT focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and
management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and
mixed-use properties with retail components. We currently operate 76 properties, which we own or
have an ownership interest in. These assets are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic
and Midwestern regions of the United States, which, in total, comprise approximately eight million
square feet. We also have private equity investments in other retail real estate related
opportunities including investments for which we provide operational support to the operating
ventures in which we have a minority equity interest.
All of our investments are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty
Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership
owns a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2007, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating
Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in
proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the
Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals, which contributed
their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP
Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on
a one-for-one basis for our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). This structure
is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
Our primary business objective is to acquire, develop and manage commercial retail properties that
will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital
appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this
objective:
| – | Own and operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component located in markets with strong demographics | ||
| – | Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities | ||
| – | Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions | ||
| – | Partner with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets | ||
| – | Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth |
Investment Strategy — External Growth through Opportunistic Acquisition Platforms
The requirements that acquisitions be accretive on a long-term basis based on our cost of capital,
as well as increase the overall portfolio quality and value, are core to our acquisition program.
As such, we constantly evaluate the blended cost of equity and debt and adjust the amount of
acquisition activity to align the level of investment activity with capital flows. We may also
engage in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. In addition
to our direct investments in real estate assets, we have also capitalized on our expertise in the
acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing
discretionary opportunity fund joint ventures in which we earn, in addition to a return on our
equity interest and carried interest (“Promote”), fees and priority distributions for our services.
To date, we have launched three discretionary opportunity fund joint ventures, Acadia Strategic
Opportunity Fund, LP (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia
Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”). Due to our control, we consolidate these funds.
Fund I
During September of 2001, we and four of our institutional shareholders formed a joint venture,
Fund I, and during August of 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I,
LLC (“Mervyns I”), whereby the investors committed $70.0 million for the purpose of acquiring real
estate assets. The Operating Partnership committed an additional $20.0 million in the aggregate to
Fund I and Mervyns I, as the general partner with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return
on its invested equity, the Operating Partnership is entitled to a Promote based upon certain
investment return thresholds. Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners (including the
Operating Partnership) until they have received a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) on, and
a return of all capital contributions.

Table of Contents
Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating
Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. The Operating Partnership also
earns fees and/or priority distributions for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the
allocated invested equity, as well as for property management, leasing and construction services.
All such fees and priority distributions are reflected as a reduction
in the minority interest share in income from opportunity funds in
the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K.
Our acquisition program was executed primarily through Fund I through June 2004. Fund I focused on
targeting assets for acquisition that had superior in-fill locations, restricted competition due to
high barriers of entry and in-place below-market anchor leases with the potential to create
significant additional value through re-tenanting, timely capital improvements and property
redevelopment.
On January 4, 2006, Fund I recapitalized a one million square foot retail portfolio located in
Wilmington Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”) through a merger of interests with affiliates of GDC
Properties (“GDC”). The Brandywine Portfolio was recapitalized through a “cash-out” merger of the
77.8% interest, which was previously held by the institutional investors in Fund I, to GDC at a
valuation of $164.0 million. The Operating Partnership, through a subsidiary, retained its existing
22.2% interest and continues to operate the Brandywine Portfolio and earn fees for such services.
At the closing of the merger, the Fund I investors received a return of all of their capital
invested in Fund I and their unpaid preferred return, thus triggering the payment to the Operating
Partnership of its additional 20% Promote in all future Fund I distributions. During June 2006, the
Fund I investors received $36.0 million of additional proceeds from this transaction following the
replacement of bridge financing which they provided, with permanent mortgage financing, triggering
$7.2 million in additional Promote due the Operating Partnership, which was paid from the Fund I
investor’s share of the remaining assets in Fund I.
As of December 31, 2007, there were 29 assets comprising approximately 1.5 million square feet
remaining in Fund I in which the Operating Partnership’s interest in cash flow and income has
increased from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote.
Fund II
Following our success with Fund I, during June of 2004 we formed a second, larger acquisition joint
venture, Fund II, and during August of 2004, formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”),
with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With
$300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II, combined, expect to be
able to acquire up to $900.0 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating
Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and
structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I with the
exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of December 31,
2007, $182.0 million of Fund II’s
capital was invested and the balance of $118.0 million was committed to existing investments.
As the demand for retail real estate has significantly increased in recent years, there has been a
commensurate increase in selling prices. In an effort to generate superior risk-adjusted returns
for our shareholders and fund investors, we have channeled our acquisition efforts through
Fund II in two opportunistic strategies described below – the Retailer Controlled Property Venture
and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative.
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”)
On January 27, 2004, through Funds I and II, we entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty,
L.P. (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making
investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The expected size of the RCP
Venture is approximately $300 million in equity, of which our share is $60 million, based on
anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the
right to opt out of any potential investment. Affiliates of Mervyns I and II and Fund II have
invested $55.4 million in the RCP Venture to date on a non-recourse basis. While we are not
required to invest any additional capital into any of these investments, should additional capital
be required and we elect not to contribute our share, our proportionate share in the investment
will be reduced. As Fund I is fully invested, Fund II and Fund III will provide the remaining
portion of our original share of the equity in future RCP Venture
investments. Cash flow from any RCP investment 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 participants (including Klaff). The Operating Partnership may also earn
market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP
Venture. While we are primarily a passive partner in the investments made through the RCP Venture,
historically we have provided our support on reviewing potential acquisitions and operating and
redevelopment assistance in areas where we have both a presence and expertise. We seek to invest
opportunistically with the RCP Venture primarily in the following four ways:
| – | Invest in operating retailers through private equity joint ventures | ||
| – | Work with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate | ||
| – | Acquire properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy | ||
| – | Complete sale leasebacks with retailers in need of capital |
During 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of
Mervyns. During 2006 and 2007, we made additional investments as further discussed in “—PROPERTY
ACQUISITIONS” below.

Table of Contents
New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
During September of 2004, through Fund II, we launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment
initiative. As retailers continue to recognize that many of the nation’s urban markets are
underserved from a retail standpoint, we are poised to capitalize on this trend by investing in
redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed
the supply of available sites. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A
Associates, LLC (“P/A”), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (“Acadia-P/A”) for the purpose of
acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail or
mixed-use real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A agreed to invest 10%
of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing member, agreed to
invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest. See Item 7 of this
Form 10K for further information on the Acadia P/A Joint Venture as detailed in “Liquidity and
Capital Resources”. To date, Fund II has invested in nine projects, eight of which are in
conjunction with P/A, as discussed further in “—PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” below.
Fund III
Following the success of Fund I and the full investment of Fund II, we formed a third discretionary
opportunity fund, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III, LLC (“Fund III”) during 2007, with
fourteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II.
With $503.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or
develop approximately $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s
share of the committed capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 19.9%
interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as the
previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is
6%. To date, Fund III has invested in two projects, one of which is under our New York Urban Infill
Redevelopment Program, as discussed further in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in this Item 1 of this Form
10-K.
Other Investments
We may also invest in preferred equity investments, mortgage loans, other real estate interests and
other investments. The mortgage loans in which we invest may be either first or second mortgages,
where we believe the underlying value of the real estate collateral is in excess of its loan
balance. As of December 31, 2007 our investments in first mortgages and mezzanine debt aggregated
$57.7 million.
Capital Strategy — Balance Sheet Focus and Access to Capital
Our primary capital objective is to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through
conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.
We intend to continue financing acquisitions and property redevelopment with sources of capital
determined by management to be the most appropriate based on, among other factors, availability,
pricing and other commercial and financial terms. The sources of capital may include the issuance
of public equity, unsecured debt, mortgage and construction loans, and other capital alternatives
including the issuance of Operating Partnership Units. We manage our interest rate risk primarily
through the use of fixed rate-debt and, where we use variable rate debt, we use certain derivative
instruments, including LIBOR swap agreements and interest rate caps as discussed further in Item 7A
of this Form 10-K.
During December of 2006 and January of 2007, we issued $115.0 million of 3.75% unsecured
Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually. The Notes have an
initial conversion rate of 32.4002 of our Common Shares for each $1,000 principal amount,
representing a conversion price of approximately $30.86 per Common Share, or a conversion premium
of approximately 20.0% based upon our Common Share price on the date of the issuance of the Notes.
The Notes are redeemable for cash up to their principal amount plus accrued interest and, at our
option, cash, our Common Shares, or a combination thereof with respect to the remainder, if any, of
the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. The Notes mature December 15, 2026,
although the holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes, in whole or in
part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December 15, 2021. After December 20, 2011, we
have the right to redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time. The $112.1 million in proceeds,
net of related costs, were used to retire variable rate debt, provide for future Fund capital
commitments and for general working capital purposes.
During January 2007, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a
total of $300.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. To date, we have
not issued any securities pursuant to this shelf registration.
Common and Preferred OP Unit Transactions
On January 27, 2004, we issued 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in connection with the
acquisition from Klaff of its rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development
and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties. These units have a stated
value of $1,000 each and are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i)
$13.00 (5.2% annually) per Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a
Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Preferred OP Units are
convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by 12.82 at any time.
Klaff may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units (at our option). In 2007, Klaff
converted all 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units into 312,013 Common OP Units and ultimately into
Common Shares.
6
Table of Contents
Effective February 15, 2005, we acquired the balance of Klaff’s rights to provide the above
services as well as certain potential future revenue streams. The consideration for this
acquisition was $4.0 million in the form of 250,000 restricted Common OP Units, valued at $16 per
unit, which are convertible into our Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five-year lock-up
period. As part of this transaction we also assumed all operational and redevelopment
responsibility for the Klaff Properties a year earlier than was contemplated in the January 2004
transaction.
Operating Strategy — Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record
Our senior management team has decades of experience in the real estate industry. We believe our
management team has demonstrated the ability to create value internally through anchor recycling,
property redevelopment and strategic non-core dispositions. Our team has built several successful
acquisition platforms including our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative and RCP Venture.
We have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management
of retail real estate by establishing joint ventures, such as Funds I, II and III, in which we
earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest and Promote, fees and priority distributions.
Operating functions such as leasing, property management, construction, finance and legal
(collectively, the “Operating Departments”) are provided by our personnel, providing for fully
integrated property management and development. By incorporating the Operating Departments in the
acquisition process, acquisitions are appropriately priced giving effect to each asset’s specific
risks and returns. Also, because of the Operating Departments involvement with, and corresponding
understanding of, the acquisition process, transition time is minimized and management can
immediately execute on its strategic plan for each asset.
We typically hold our core properties for long-term investment. As such, we continuously review the
existing portfolio and implement programs to renovate and modernize targeted centers to enhance the
property’s market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing
program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow and consequently property
value. We also periodically identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital to
existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. Our core
portfolio consists primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers, which are generally
dominant centers in high barrier-to-entry markets. The anchors at these centers typically pay
market or below-market rents. Furthermore, supermarket and necessity-based retailers anchor the
majority of our core portfolio. These attributes enable our properties to better withstand a
weakening economy while also creating opportunities to increase rental income.
During 2007, 2006 and 2005 we sold seven non-core properties and redeployed the capital to acquire
seven retail properties as further discussed in “—ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” below.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
RCP Venture
Albertson’s
In June 2006, the RCP Venture made its second major investment with its participation in the
acquisition of 699 stores from Albertson’s, the nation’s 2nd largest grocery and drug
chain and 26 Cub Food stores. The total price paid by the investment consortium, which included
Cerberus, Schottenstein and Kimco Realty, to Albertson’s for the portfolio was $1.9 billion, which
was funded with $0.3 billion of equity and $1.6 billion of financing. Mervyns II’s share of equity
invested totaled $20.7 million. The Operating Partnership’s share was $4.2 million. As with the
Mervyns investment (see below), we anticipate investing in Albertsons add-on real estate
opportunities.
During February of 2007, Mervyns II received cash distributions totaling approximately
$44.4 million from its ownership position in Albertsons. The Operating Partnership’s share of this
distribution amounted to approximately $8.9 million. The distributions primarily resulted from
proceeds received by Albertsons in connection with its disposition of certain stores, refinancing
of the remaining assets held in the entity and excess cash from operations. Mervyns II received
additional distributions from this investment totaling $8.8 million during the balance of the year
ended December 31, 2007. The Operating Partnership’s share of these distributions was $1.0 million.
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, Mervyns II made additional add-on investments in
Albertson’s totaling $2.8 million and received distributions totaling $0.8 million in the aggregate
from these add-on investments. The Operating Partnership’s share of such amounts was $0.4 million
and $0.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents
Mervyns Department Stores
In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the
acquisition of Mervyns. Through Mervyns I and Mervyns II, we invested in the acquisition of
Mervyns as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus that acquired Mervyns
from Target Corporation. As of the date of acquisition, Mervyns was a 257-store discount retailer
with a very strong West Coast concentration. The total acquisition price was approximately
$1.2 billion which was financed with $800 million of debt and $400 million of equity. Mervyns I and
Mervyns II share of equity invested aggregated $23.9 million on a non-recourse basis and was
divided equally between them. The Operating Partnership’s share was $4.9 million. During November
2007, Mervyns II made an additional investment of $2.2 million in Mervyns.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, Mervyns I and Mervyns II made add-on investments in Mervyns
properties totaling $1.3 million. The Operating Partnerships share of this amount was $0.3 million.
During 2005, Mervyns made a distribution to the investors from the proceeds from the sale of a
portion of the portfolio and the refinancing of existing debt, of which a total of $42.7 million
was distributed to Mervyns I and Mervyns II. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution
amounted to $10.2 million. In addition, during 2006, Mervyns distributed additional cash totaling
$4.6 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of this distribution totaled $1.4 million.
Other Investments
During 2006, Fund II invested $1.1 million in Shopko, a regional multi-department retailer with 358
stores located throughout the Midwest, Mountain and Pacific Northwest and $0.7 million in Marsh, a
regional supermarket chain operating 271 stores in central Indiana, Illinois and western Ohio. The
Operating Partnership’s share of these investments totaled $0.2 million. For the year ended
December 31, 2007, Fund II received a $1.1 million distribution from the Shopko investment, of
which the Operating Partnership’s share was $0.2 million.
During July 2007, Mervyns II invested $2.7 million in REX Stores Corporation which is comprised of
electronic retail stores located in 27 states. The Operating Partnership’s share was $0.5 million.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
Sheepshead Bay - During November of 2007, Fund III acquired a property in Sheepshead Bay,
Brooklyn for approximately $20.0 million. Our redevelopment plan includes the demolition of the
existing structures and the construction of a 240,000 square foot shopping center on the site. The
total cost of the redevelopment, including acquisition costs, is expected to be approximately
$109.0 million.
Canarsie — During October of 2007, Acadia P/A acquired a 530,000 square foot warehouse
building in Canarsie, Brooklyn for approximately $21.0 million. The development plan for this
property includes the demolition of a portion of the warehouse and the construction of a 320,000
square foot mixed-use project consisting of retail, office, cold-storage and self-storage. The
total cost of the redevelopment, including acquisition costs, is expected to be approximately
$70.0 million.

Table of Contents
CityPoint – During February of 2007, Acadia-P/A entered into an agreement for the purchase
of the leasehold interest in The Gallery at Fulton Street in downtown Brooklyn. The fee position in
the property is owned by the City of New York and the agreement includes an option to purchase this
fee position at a later date. Acadia P/A has partnered with MacFarlane Partners (“MacFarlane”) to
co-develop the project. On June 13, 2007, Acadia P/A and MacFarlane acquired the leasehold interest
for approximately $115.0 million. Redevelopment plans for the property, renamed as CityPoint,
include the demolition of the existing structure and the development of a 1.6 million square foot
mixed-use complex. The proposed development calls for the construction of a combination of retail,
office and residential components, all of which are currently allowed as of right. Acadia P/A,
together with MacFarlane, will develop and operate the retail component, which is anticipated to
total 475,000 square feet of retail space. Acadia P/A will also participate in the development of
the office component with MacFarlane, which is expected to include at least 125,000 square feet of
office space. MacFarlane plans to develop and operate up to 1,000 residential units with
underground parking. Acadia P/A does not plan on participating in the development of, or have an
ownership interest in, the residential component of the project.
Atlantic Avenue – During May 2007, we, through Fund II and in partnership with a
self-storage partner at several of the other New York urban projects, acquired a property on
Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, New York for $5.0 million. Redevelopment plans for the property call
for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a modern climate controlled
self-storage facility consisting of approximately 110,000 square feet.
Liberty Avenue — On December 20, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired the remaining 40-year term of a
leasehold interest in land located at Liberty Avenue and 98th Street in Queens (Ozone
Park). Development of this project is complete and includes approximately 30,000 square feet of
retail anchored by a CVS drug store, which is open and operating. The project also includes a
95,000 square foot self-storage facility, which is open and currently operated by Storage Post.
Storage Post is a partner in the self-storage complex, and is anticipated to be a partner in future
retail projects in New York City where self-storage will be a potential component of the
redevelopment. The total cost to Acadia P/A of the redevelopment was approximately $15 million.
216th Street — On December 1, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired a 65,000 square foot
parking garage located at 10th Avenue and 216th Street in the Inwood section
of Manhattan for $7.0 million. During 2007, construction of the 60,000 square foot office building
was completed and we relocated an agency of the City of New York, which was a tenant at another of
our Urban/Infill Redevelopment projects. Inclusive of acquisition costs, total costs to Acadia P/A
for the project, which also includes a 100-space rooftop parking deck, was approximately $27
million.
161st Street — On August 5, 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased 244-268 161st
Street located in the Bronx for $49.3 million, inclusive of closing costs. The ultimate
redevelopment plan for the property, a 100% occupied, 10-story office building, is to reconfigure
the property so that approximately 50% of the income from the building will eventually be derived
from retail tenants. Additional redevelopment costs to Acadia P/A are anticipated to be
approximately $16 million.
4650 Broadway — On April 6, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired 4650 Broadway located in the
Washington Heights/Inwood section of Manhattan. The property, a 140,000 square foot building, which
was occupied by an agency of the City of New York and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for
a purchase price of $25.0 million. During 2007 we relocated the office tenant to Acadia P/A’s
216th St. redevelopment as discussed above. We are currently reviewing various
alternatives to redevelop the site to include retail and office components totaling over 216,000
square feet. Expected costs for Acadia P/A to complete the redevelopment are estimated at
$30.0 million.
Pelham Manor — On October 1, 2004, Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year, inclusive of
extension options, ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County,
New York. We have demolished the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and are constructing
a multi-anchor community retail center at a total estimated cost of $45.0 million.
Fordham Road — On September 29, 2004, Acadia-P/A purchased 400 East Fordham Road, Bronx,
New York. Sears, a former tenant that operated on four levels at this property, has signed a new
lease to occupy only the concourse level after redevelopment. We have commenced redevelopment at
this site, which is expected to include four levels of retail and office space totaling 285,000
square feet when completed. The total cost of the project to Acadia P/A, including the acquisition
cost of $30 million, is expected to be $120.0 million.
Other investments
In addition to the New York Urban/Infill projects discussed above, through Fund II and Fund III, we
also acquired the following:
During November 2007, Fund III acquired 125 Main Street, Westport, Connecticut for approximately
$17.0 million. Our plan is to redevelop the existing building into 30,000 square feet of retail,
office and residential use.
During November 2005, Fund II acquired a ground lease interest in a 112,000 square foot building
occupied by Neiman Marcus. The property is located at Oakbrook Center, a super-regional Class A
mall located in the Chicago Metro area. The ground lease was acquired for $6.9 million, including
closing and other acquisition costs.
During July 2005, Fund II acquired for $1.0 million, a 50% equity interest in an entity which has a
leasehold interest in a former Levitz Furniture store located in Rockville, Maryland.

Fund I
To date, through Fund I we have purchased a total of 35 assets totaling approximately 3.0 million
square feet. During January 2006, we recapitalized the Brandywine Portfolio as discussed further in
“—BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES”. Following the recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio
and the sale of Amherst Marketplace and Sheffield Crossing as discussed below, there are 29 assets
comprising 1.5 million square feet remaining in Fund I, (in which the Operating Partnership’s
interest in cash flow and income has increased from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote) as

During November 2007, Fund I sold Amherst Marketplace and Sheffield Crossing, community shopping
centers in Ohio, for $26.0 million, resulting in a $7.5 million gain.
In November 2006, Fund I acquired the remaining 50% interest from our unaffiliated partner in the
Tarrytown Centre for $3.5 million.
During February 2006, Fund I finalized an agreement with our unaffiliated partner in the Hitchcock
Plaza whereby we converted our common equity interest in the properties to a preferred equity
position with a 15% preferred return payable currently and a 20% profit interest after all invested
capital and preferred returns are paid. In connection with this agreement, our partner assumed all
operational, redevelopment and leasing responsibilities. In August 2007, the Operating Partnership
provided a $5.6 million loan to the third party investor in Hitchcock Plaza who invested the
proceeds into the partnership and were used to liquidate Fund I’s preferred equity investment and
cumulative preferred return. Fund I retains a 20% profits interest, behind the return of our
partner’s equity and cumulative preferred return.
Core Portfolio
During March of 2007, the Operating Partnership purchased a 52,000 square foot single-tenant
building located at 1545 East Service Road in Staten Island, New York for $17.0 million.
During March of 2007, the Operating Partnership purchased a retail commercial condominium at 200
West 54th Street located in Manhattan, New York. The 10,000 square foot property was acquired for
$36.4 million.
During September of 2006, the Operating Partnership purchased 2914 Third Avenue in the Bronx, New
York for $18.5 million. The 41,305 square foot property is 100% leased and is located in a densely
populated, high barrier-to-entry, infill area.
During June of 2006, the Operating Partnership purchased 8400 and 8625 Germantown Road in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $16.0 million.
During January of 2006, the Operating Partnership closed on a 20,000 square foot retail building in
the Lincoln Park district in Chicago. The property was acquired from an affiliate of Klaff for
$9.9 million.
During January of 2006, the Operating Partnership acquired a 60% interest in the A&P Shopping Plaza
located in Boonton, New Jersey. The property, located in northeastern New Jersey, is a 63,000
square foot shopping center anchored by a 49,000 square foot A&P Supermarket. The remaining 40%
interest is owned by a principal of P/A. The interest was acquired for $3.2 million.
During July 2005 the Operating Partnership purchased 4343 Amboy Road located in Staten Island, New
York for $16.6 million in cash and $0.2 million in Common OP Units. The property, a 60,000 square
foot neighborhood shopping center, is anchored by a Waldbaum’s supermarket and a Duane Reade drug
store, and is subject to a 23-year ground lease.

Other Investments
During March of 2005 the Operating Partnership invested $20.0 million in a preferred equity
position (“Preferred Equity Investment”) in Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of fee and
leasehold interests in 30 current or former Levitz Furniture Store locations (the “Levitz
Properties”), totaling 2.5 million square feet.
During June 2006, the Operating Partnership converted the Preferred Equity Investment to a first
mortgage loan and advanced additional proceeds bringing the total outstanding amount to
$31.3 million. The loan matures on May 31, 2008 and bears interest at a rate of 10.5%. During 2006,
Levitz SL sold one of the Levitz Properties located in Northridge, California and used
$20.4 million of the proceeds to pay down the loan. During 2007, Levitz SL sold an additional
Levitz Property located in St. Paul Minnesota and used $4.8 million of the proceeds to pay down the
first mortgage loan. As of December 31, 2007, the loan balance amounted to $6.1 million and was
secured by fee and leasehold mortgages as well as a pledge of the entities owning 13 of the
remaining Levitz Properties totaling 1.3 million square feet. Although Levitz Furniture filed for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection during November 2007, we believe the underlying value of the real
estate is sufficient to recover the principal and interest due under the mortgage.
ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING
We periodically identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital to existing
centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. Since January 1, 2005, we

PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping
centers within our core portfolio and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property
redevelopment.
During 2006, we commenced the redevelopment and re-tenanting of the Bloomfield Town Square, located
in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. A former out-parcel building was demolished and replaced with a
17,500 square foot building now occupied by Drexel Heritage and Panera Bread. The new tenants
opened and commenced paying rent during 2006, and are paying a combined base rent at a 127%
increase over that of the former tenant. In addition, we have leased approximately 26,000 square
feet to Circuit City, which opened and commenced paying rent during September of 2007 at a 79%
increase over that of the former tenants. Total costs for this project were $4.6 million.
COMPETITION
There are numerous entities that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants
who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other REIT’s, financial
institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. Our properties
compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy
costs (including base rent and operating expenses), services provided, and the design and condition
of the improvements.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS
We have three reportable segments: core portfolio, opportunity funds and other, which primarily
consists of management fee income and interest income. We evaluate property performance primarily
based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring items.
Investments in our core portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the finite life of the
opportunity funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by us as
general partner/member of the opportunity funds are eliminated in our consolidated financial
statements. We do not have any foreign operations. We previously reported two reportable segments,
retail properties and multi-family properties. During December of 2007, we sold the majority of our
multi-family properties and realigned our segments to reflect the way we now manage our business.
See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K for
certain information regarding each of our segments.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES
Our executive offices are located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York
10605, and our telephone number is (914) 288-8100. As of December 31, 2007, we had 142 employees,
of which 120 were located at our executive office, six at the Pennsylvania regional office and the
remaining property management personnel were located on-site at our properties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial
condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking
statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking
statements discussed in the beginning of this Form 10-K.
We rely on revenues derived from major tenants.
We derive significant revenues from certain anchor tenants that occupy space in more than one
center. We could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or a
downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants, or in the event that any such tenant does
not renew its leases as they expire or renews at lower rental rates. Vacated anchor space not only
would reduce rental revenues if not re-tenanted at the same rental rates but also could adversely
affect the entire shopping center because of the loss of the departed anchor tenant’s customer
drawing power. Loss of customer drawing power also can occur through the exercise of the right that
most anchors have to vacate and prevent re-tenanting by paying rent for the balance of the lease
term, or the departure of an anchor tenant that owns its own property. In addition, in the event
that certain major tenants cease to occupy a property, such an action may result in a significant
number of other tenants having the right to terminate their leases, or pay a reduced rent based on
a percentage of the tenant’s sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the
future income from such property. See “Item 2. Properties—Major Tenants” for quantified
information with respect the percentage of our minimum rents received from major tenants.
Tenants may seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and
termination of their leases and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available for
distribution by us. Such reduction could be material if a major tenant files bankruptcy. See the
risk factor titled, “The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants
may adversely affect our cash flows and property values” below.

Table of Contents
Limited control over joint venture investments.
Our opportunity fund investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made
solely by us, including the possibility that our joint venture partner might have different
interests or goals than we do. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on
decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor a joint venture partner would have full control
over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the
amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures.
Through our investments in joint ventures we have also invested in operating businesses that have
operational risk in addition to the risks associated with real estate investments, including among
other risks, human capital issues, adequate supply of product and material, and merchandising
issues.
During 2007 and 2006, our joint ventures provided Promote income. There can be no assurance that
the joint ventures will continue to operate profitably and thus provide additional Promote income
in the future.
Under the terms of our Fund III joint ventures, we are required to first offer to Fund III all of
our opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. Only if (i) our joint venture partner elects
not to approve Fund III’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity; (ii) the ownership of the
acquisition opportunity by Fund III would create a material conflict of interest for us; (iii) we
require the acquisition opportunity for a “like-kind” exchange; or (iv) the consideration payable
for the acquisition opportunity is our Common Shares, OP Units or other securities, may we pursue
the opportunity directly. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly
and may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Fund III.
We operate through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to
manage our assets.
Our primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which we are the general
partner. Our acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests
in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who
contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating
Partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value
and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could
cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although
we, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally have no obligation to consider
the tax consequences of our actions to any limited partner, there can be no assurance that the
Operating Partnership will not acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions
designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute such
properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage our
assets.
There are risks relating to investments in real estate.
Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate values are affected
by a number of factors, including: changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such
as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in an area), the quality and
philosophy of management, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to
provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control variable operating costs. Shopping
centers, in particular, may be affected by changing perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding
the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the shopping center and by the overall climate for
the retail industry generally. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as government
regulations, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and potential liability under, and
changes in, environmental, zoning, tax and other laws. A significant portion of our income is
derived from rental income from real property, our income and cash flow would be adversely affected
if a significant number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations, or if we were unable
to lease on economically favorable terms a significant amount of space in our properties. In the
event of default by a tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing, and incur substantial costs to
enforce, our rights as a landlord. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with
each equity investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are
generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants may adversely affect
our cash flows and property values.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants causing them to
reject their leases, or not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates may
adversely affect our cash flows and property values. Furthermore, the impact of vacated anchor
space and the potential reduction in customer traffic may adversely impact the balance of tenants
at the center.
Certain of our tenants have experienced financial difficulties and have filed for bankruptcy under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 Bankruptcy”). Pursuant to bankruptcy
law, tenants have the right to reject their leases. In the event the tenant exercises this right,
the landlord generally has the right to file a claim for lost rent equal to the greater of either
one year’s rent (including tenant expense reimbursements) for remaining terms greater than one
year, or 15% of the rent remaining under the balance of the lease term, but not to exceed three
years rent. Actual amounts to be received in satisfaction of those claims will be subject to the
tenant’s final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.
Since January 1, 2004, there have been three significant tenant bankruptcies within our portfolio:
13
Table of Contents
On January 14, 2004, KB Toys (“KB”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operated
in five locations in our core portfolio totaling approximately 41,000 square feet. Rental revenues
from KB at these locations aggregated $0.3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively. KB rejected the lease at three of these locations and continues to
operate in two of our core portfolio locations but has neither assumed nor rejected these two
leases.
On September 27, 2007, the Bombay Company, Inc. (“Bombay”) filed for protection under Chapter 11
Bankruptcy. Bombay operated in one of our core portfolio locations, leasing 8,965 square feet.
Rental revenues from Bombay totaled $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Bombay has rejected the lease at this location.
On June 11, 2007, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Tweeter”) filed for protection under
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Tweeter is operating in one of our core portfolio locations, leasing 12,799
square feet. Rental revenues from Tweeter totaled $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.0 million for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Tweeter has neither assumed or
rejected the lease.
We could be adversely affected by poor market conditions where properties are geographically
concentrated.
Our performance depends on the economic conditions in markets in which our properties are
concentrated. We have significant exposure to the New York region, from which we derive 35% of the
annual base rents within our Core portfolio. Our operating results could be adversely affected if
market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this
area become more competitive relative to other geographic areas.
Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.
Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our
portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions will be limited. Our board of trustees may
establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit
the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in
any one geographic region. We could change our investment, disposition and financing policies
without a vote of our shareholders.
Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on our share price.
One of the factors that may influence the trading price of our Common Shares is the annual dividend
rate on our Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates
may lead purchasers of our Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could
adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise additional equity
in the public markets.
Recent disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on
reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on us.
The United States credit markets have recently experienced significant dislocations and liquidity
disruptions which have caused the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably.
These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms
for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain
types of debt financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our
ability to access additional debt financing at reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our
ability to make acquisitions. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets may cause us to seek
alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our
business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell
properties or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as
prospective buyers may experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining
debt financing. These events in the credit markets have also had an adverse effect on other
financial markets in the United States, which may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise
capital through the issuance of our equity securities. These disruptions in the financial markets
may have other adverse effects on us or the economy generally.
14
Table of Contents
We could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in
an increase in debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities.
Neither our Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our board of trustees
limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we
may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of
default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions.
Our loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain
loan agreements require us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the
maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.
Interest expense on our variable debt as of December 31, 2007 would increase by $1.2 million
annually for a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. We may seek additional variable-rate
financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would
consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt
through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
We enter into interest-rate hedging transactions, including interest rate swaps and cap agreements,
with counterparties. There can be no guarantee that the financial condition of these counterparties
will enable them to fulfill their obligations under these agreements.
We may not be able to renew current leases and the terms of re-letting (including the cost of
concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms.
Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in our properties, we may not be able to
re-let all or a portion of that space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of
concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. If we are unable to
re-let promptly all or a substantial portion of the space located in our properties or if the
rental rates we receive upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our net income
and ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders will be adversely affected due to
the resulting reduction in rent receipts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain
tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of their leases. See “Item 2. Properties –
Lease Expirations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to the
scheduled lease expirations in our portfolio.
Possible liability relating to environmental matters.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and
regulations, as an owner of real property, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under our property, as well as certain other
potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties
and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). These laws may impose liability without
regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those
substances. This liability may be imposed on us in connection with the activities of an operator
of, or tenant at, the property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or
property damages and our liability therefore could exceed the value of the property and/or our
aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly dispose
of or remove those substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent that property or to
borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce our revenues and ability to
make distributions.
A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an
adverse effect upon value attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other
contaminants that have or may have emanated from other properties. Although our tenants are
primarily responsible for any environmental damages and claims related to the leased premises, in
the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy any obligations with
respect to the property leased to that tenant, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In
addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the
provisions of any lease.
From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, and prior to the acquisition of
any property from a third party or as required by our financing sources, we authorize the
preparation of Phase I environmental reports and, when necessary, Phase II environmental reports,
with respect to our properties. Based upon these environmental reports and our ongoing review of
our properties, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we are not aware of any environmental
condition with respect to any of our properties that we believe would be reasonably likely to have
a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that the environmental reports
will reveal all environmental conditions at our properties or that the following will not expose us
to material liability in the future:
| – The discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions; | ||
| – Changes in law; | ||
| – Activities of tenants; and | ||
| – Activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties. |
15
Table of Contents
Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on
properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in
significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of our
tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties and to attract and retain
tenants.
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other
investors with greater financial resources than we have that compete with us in seeking properties
for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in our properties. Our competitors include other
REIT’s, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and
individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that we wish to purchase.
In addition, retailers at our properties face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount
shopping clubs, internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents
payable to us; (ii) reduce our ability to attract and retain tenants at our properties; and (iii)
lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties.
We have pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities, which may
result in significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources.
We have pursued extensive growth opportunities. This expansion has placed significant demands on
our operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of our real estate
portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on our resources. Our future
performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified
management personnel to manage the growth and operations of our business and to finance such
acquisitions. In addition, acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the
numerous factors that may affect the value of real estate. There can be no assurance that we will
have sufficient resources to identify and manage acquired properties or otherwise be able to
maintain our historic rate of growth.
Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations.
Our earnings growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties,
including acquisitions through co-investment programs such as joint ventures. In the context of our
business plan, “development” generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property.
The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of our
extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive
documentation. We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement our strategy because we may have
difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable
financing.
Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in
accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment is
subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or uncontrollable
events that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of
zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of
development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.
A component of our growth strategy is through private-equity type investments made through our RCP
Venture. These include investments in operating retailers. The inability of the retailers to
operate profitably would have an adverse impact on income realized from these investments.
Our board of trustees may change our investment policy without shareholder approval.
Our board of trustees will determine our investment and financing policies, our growth strategy and
our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, disposition and operating policies. Our board
of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently
does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of
investments in any one geographic region. Although our board of trustees has no present intention
to revise or amend our strategies and policies, it may do so at any time without a vote by our
shareholders. Accordingly, our shareholders’ control over changes in our strategies and policies is
limited to the election of trustees, and changes made by our board of trustees may not serve the
interests of all of our shareholders and could adversely affect our financial condition or results
of operations, including our ability to distribute cash to shareholders or qualify as a REIT.

There can be no assurance we have qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes.
We believe that we have met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend to continue to meet
these requirements in the future. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of
highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are only
limited judicial or administrative interpretations. No assurance can be given that we have
qualified or will remain qualified as a REIT. The Internal Revenue Code provisions and income tax
regulations applicable to REIT’s are more complex than those applicable to corporations. The
determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may
affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that
legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly
change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such
qualification. If we do not qualify as a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for
distributions to shareholders in computing our net taxable income. In addition, our income would be
subject to tax at the regular corporate rates. We also could be disqualified from treatment as a
REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. Cash
available for distribution to our shareholders would be significantly reduced for each year in
which we do not qualify as a REIT. In that event, we would not be required to continue to make
distributions. Although we currently intend to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that
future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us, without the consent of
the shareholders, to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in
disqualification.
Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our operating flexibility.
To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to
distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income for that calendar year. Our
taxable income is determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding
net capital gains. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement, but distribute less
than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our
undistributed income. In addition, we will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if
any, by which our distributions in any year are less than the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income
for that year; (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for that year and; (iii) 100% of our
undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our
shareholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to
reduce exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. Differences in timing between the
receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining our income and the effect of required
debt amortization payments could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the
distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying
as a REIT.
Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial
condition.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rent loss insurance on most of our
properties, with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar
properties. However, with respect to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement
of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain rent loss insurance. In addition,
there are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or acts of God
that generally are not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable.
Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose capital
invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining
obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any
loss of these types would adversely affect our financial condition.
Limits on ownership of our capital shares.
For the Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not
more than 50% of the value of our capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or
fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the
last half of each taxable year after 1993, and such capital shares must be beneficially owned by
100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a
proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (in each case, other than the first such year). Our
Declaration of Trust includes certain restrictions regarding transfers of our capital shares and
ownership limits that are intended to assist us in satisfying these limitations. These restrictions
and limits may not be adequate in all cases, however, to prevent the transfer of our capital shares
in violation of the ownership limitations. The ownership limit discussed above may have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us.
Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in excess of the share ownership limits
contained in our Declaration of Trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be null
and void from the beginning and subject to purchase by us at a price equal to the lesser of (i) the
price stipulated in the challenged transaction; and (ii) the fair market value of such shares
(determined in accordance with the rules set forth in our declaration of trust). As a result, if a
violative transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting
rights attributable to the transferred shares. Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for
these limits are complex and groups of related individuals or entities may be deemed a single owner
and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.

Adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.
There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the
federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of failing to continue to
qualify as a REIT. At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REIT’s or the administrative
interpretations of those laws may be amended. Any of those new laws or interpretations may take
effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our shareholders. Recently enacted
legislation reduces tax rates applicable to certain corporate dividends paid to most domestic
noncorporate shareholders. REIT dividends generally are not eligible for reduced rates because a
REIT’s income generally is not subject to corporate level tax. As a result, investment in non-REIT
corporations may be viewed as relatively more attractive than investment in REIT’s by domestic
noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s shares.
Concentration of ownership by certain investors.
Ten institutional shareholders own 5% or more individually, and 67.9% in the aggregate, of our
Common Shares. A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor to exert a greater
influence over our management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of us.
Restrictions on a potential change of control.
Our Board of Trustees is authorized by our Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more
series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. We have not established any series of
preferred shares. However, the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could
make more difficult a change of control of us that could be in the best interest of the
shareholders.
In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and
severance agreements are in place with our senior vice presidents which provide that, upon the
occurrence of a change in control of us and either the termination of their employment without
cause (as defined) or their resignation for good reason (as defined), those executive officers
would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump
sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years’ average bonuses, paid in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change
of control of us that could be in our best interest.
The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on us.
Our success depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of
Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Bernstein; however, it could be terminated by Mr. Bernstein. We have
not entered into employment agreements with other key executive level employees.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES
The discussion and tables in this Item 2 include properties held through consolidated and
unconsolidated joint ventures in which we own a partial interest (“Consolidated Joint Venture
Portfolio” and Unconsolidated Joint Venture Portfolio”, respectively). Except where noted, it does
not include our partial interest in 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger and Safeway supermarkets.
These are detailed separately within this Item 2 as the majority of these properties are
free-standing and all are triple-net leases.
As of December 31, 2007, we owned and operated 51 commercial properties as part of our core
portfolio and opportunity fund portfolios. The properties are primarily neighborhood and community
shopping centers, mixed-use centers and one multi-family property. Ten of these properties are
currently under redevelopment. Our shopping centers, which total approximately 7.5 million square
feet of gross leaseable area (“GLA”), are located in 13 states and are generally well-established,
anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. The operating properties are diverse in size,
ranging from approximately 10,000 to 875,000 square feet with an average size of 150,000 square
feet. As of December 31, 2007, our core portfolio and the opportunity fund portfolios (excluding
properties under redevelopment) were 94.9% and 93.7% occupied, respectively. Our shopping centers
are typically anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail.
We had 545 leases as of December 31, 2007. A majority of our rental revenues were from national
tenants. A majority of the income from the properties consists of rent received under long-term
leases. These leases generally provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent monthly in advance and
for the payment by tenants of a pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and
common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Minimum rents and expense reimbursements accounted
for approximately 84% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2007, approximately 35% of our existing leases also provided for the payment of
percentage rents either in addition to, or in place of, minimum rents. These arrangements generally
provide for payment to us of a certain percentage of a tenant’s gross sales in excess of a
stipulated annual amount. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 1% of the total 2007
revenues of the Company.
Seven of our shopping center properties are subject to long-term ground leases in which a third
party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. We pay rent for the use of the land at seven
locations and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and
improvements at all seven locations.
No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of our total revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Reference is made to our consolidated financial statements
beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on form 10-K for information on the mortgage debt
pertaining to our properties. The following sets forth more specific information with respect to
each of our shopping centers at December 31, 2007:

KROGER/SAFEWAY PORTFOLIO
In January of 2003, Fund I formed a joint venture (the “Kroger/Safeway JV”) with an affiliate of
real estate developer and investor AmCap Incorporated (“AmCap”) for the purpose of acquiring a
portfolio of twenty-five supermarket leases for $48.9 million inclusive of the closing and other
related acquisition costs. The portfolio, which aggregates approximately 1.0 million square feet,
consists of 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger (12 leases) and Safeway supermarkets (13 leases). The
majority of the properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases. The Kroger/Safeway JV
acquired the portfolio subject to long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options,
averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The primary
lease terms end during 2009 (“Primary Term”). Rental options for the supermarket leases at the end
of their Primary Term are at an average rent of $5.13 per square foot and for ten year increments
through 2049. Although there is no obligation for the Kroger/Safeway JV to pay ground rent during
the Primary Term, to the extent it exercises an option to renew a ground lease for a property at
the end of the Primary Term, it will be obligated to pay an average ground rent of $1.55 per square
foot.
The following table sets forth more specific information with respect to the 25 supermarket leases:

At February 29, 2008, there were 321 holders of record of our Common Shares.
(b) Dividends
We have determined that for 2007, 51% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders
represented ordinary income, 15% represented unrecaptured Section 1250 gain and 34% represented
Section 1231 gain. Our cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues
received from rental properties, our operating expenses, the interest expense on our borrowings,
the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated capital expenditures.
Future dividends paid by us will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on our actual
cash flows, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements
under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant.
(c) Issuer purchases of equity securities
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to
repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. Through February 29, 2008, we had
repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million. All of these Common Shares
have been subsequently reissued. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there
is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares
repurchased by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
(d) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
The following table provides information related to our 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the “1999
Plan”), 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return for our Common Shares for the
period commencing December 31, 2002 through December 31, 2007 with the cumulative total return on
the Russell 2000 Index (“Russell 2000”), the NAREIT All Equity REIT Index (the “NAREIT”) and the
SNL Shopping Center REITs (the “SNL”) over the same period. Total return values for the Russell
2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and the Common Shares were calculated based upon cumulative total return
assuming the investment of $100.00 in each of the Russell 2000, the NAREIT, the SNL and our Common
Shares on December 31, 2002, and assuming reinvestment of such dividends. The shareholder return as
set forth in the table below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Notes:
| (1) | The extraordinary item represents the Company’s share of estimated extraordinary gain related to its private-equity investment in Albertson’s. The Albertson’s entity has recorded an extraordinary gain in connection with the allocation of purchase price to assets acquired. The Company considers its private-equity investments to be investments in operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from private-equity investments are included in FFO, which management believes provides a more accurate reflection of the operating performance of the Company. | |
| (2) | The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REIT’s. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted |
30
Table of Contents
| accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. |
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
As of December 31, 2007, we operated 76 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in,
within our Core Portfolio or within our Opportunity Funds I, II and III. These properties consist
of 75 commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use
developments, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of
the United States and one multi-family property located in Southeast region of the United States.
Our Core Portfolio consists of 34 properties comprising approximately 5.5 million square feet. Fund
I has 29 properties comprising approximately 1.5 million square feet. Fund II has ten properties,
the majority of which are undergoing redevelopment and will have approximately two million square
feet upon completion of redevelopment activities. The newly created Fund III has two properties,
which are undergoing redevelopment and will have approximately 0.3 million square feet upon
completion of redevelopment activities. The majority of our operating income derives from the
rental revenues from these 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, as opposed to real estate investments. Since these are not traditional
investments in operating rental real estate, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a
taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will
provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital
appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this
objective:
| – | Own and operate a portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component located in markets with strong demographics. | ||
| – | Generate internal growth within the portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and leasing activities. | ||
| – | Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions. | ||
| – | Partner with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets. | ||
| – | Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth. |

The increase in minimum rents was primarily attributable to additional rents following our
acquisition of 200 West 54th Street, 145
31
Table of Contents
East Service Road, 2914 Third Avenue and Chestnut Hill (“2006/2007 Acquisitions”) as well as
Liberty Avenue and 216th Street being placed in service January 1, 2007 and October 1,
2007, respectively. In addition, minimum rents increased as a result of re-tenanting activities
across our portfolio.
Percentage rents decreased primarily as a result of the temporary closing of an anchor tenant at
Fordham Place during the construction period in 2007.
Expense reimbursements for common area maintenance (“CAM”) decreased $0.2 million. During 2007, we
completed our multi-year review of CAM billings and resolved the majority of all outstanding CAM
billing issues with our tenants. As a result, 2007 was adversely impacted by charges related to
settlements and related adjustments totaling $1.0 million. This was partially offset by higher CAM
recovery resulting from increased snow removal costs in 2007. Real estate tax reimbursements
decreased $1.0 million, primarily as a result of lower real estate tax expense in 2007 and a $0.4
million real estate tax charge to an anchor tenant for previous years billed during 2006.
Management fee income decreased $1.5 million primarily as a result of lower fees earned in
connection with Klaff management contracts following the disposition of certain assets in 2006 and
2007 and lower management fees from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
The increase in interest income was attributable to interest income on notes and other advances
receivable originated in the second half of 2006 and 2007 as well as higher balances in interest
earning assets in 2007.
The decrease in other income was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million reimbursement of certain
fees by the institutional investors of Fund I for the Brandywine Portfolio in 2006 as well as $0.5
million of additional income related to termination of interest rate swap agreements.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily the result of the 2006/2007 Acquisitions,
Liberty Avenue being placed in service January 1, 2007 and higher snow removal costs of $1.0
million in 2007.
The decrease in real estate taxes was due to tax refunds and adjustments of estimates of $0.6
million recorded in 2007 and $0.6 million related to the capitalization of construction period real
estate taxes at a property that was operating in 2006. These decreases were offset by increased
real estate tax expense of $0.8 million following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions as well as general
increases across the portfolio.
The variance in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation
expense, including share based compensation of $4.7 million for additional personnel hired in the
second half of 2006 and in 2007 as well as increases in existing employee salaries. In addition,
there was an increase of $0.7 million for other overhead expenses following the expansion of our
infrastructure related to increased fund investments and asset management services. These factors
were partially offset by an increase in capitalized construction salaries due to higher
redevelopment activities in 2007.
Depreciation expense increased $1.3 million in 2007. This was principally a result of increased
depreciation expense following the 2006/2007 Acquisitions and Liberty Avenue and 216th
Street being placed in service during 2007. Amortization expense increased $0.8 million in 2007.
This was primarily attributable to increased amortization of loan costs following our convertible
debt issuances in December 2006 and January 2007 as well as increased amortization of loan costs
from financing activity in late 2006 and 2007.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased as a result of our distributions in
excess of our invested capital from both our Albertson’s investment of $2.4 million and our
investment in Hitchcock Plaza of $2.4 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in our pro
rata share of earnings from our Mervyns investment of $1.3 million.
Interest expense increased $2.4 million in 2007. This was the result of a $4.9 million increase
attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2007 and $0.4 million of costs associated
with a loan payoff in 2007. These increases were offset by a $2.9 million decrease resulting from a
lower average interest rate on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2007.
The variance in minority interest is primarily attributable to the minority partners’ share of
increased fund level fees partially offset by $2.6 million representing the minority partners’
share of the income reported from the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
The variance in income tax expense primarily relates to income tax on our share of income and
losses from Albertson’s and Mervyns.
Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold in 2007 and
2006.
The extraordinary gain in 2007 relates to our share of the extraordinary gain, net of income taxes
and minority interest, from our Albertson’s investment. This gain was characterized as
extraordinary consistent with the accounting treatment by Albertson’s which reflected the excess of
fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price as an extraordinary gain.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006”) to the year ended December 31, 2005
(“2005”)
The Brandywine Portfolio operations were consolidated as part of Fund I for the year ended December
31, 2005. Subsequent to the recapitalization and conversion of interests from Fund I to GDC in
January 2006, the Brandywine Portfolio is accounted for under the equity method of accounting for
the year ended December 31, 2006. In the following tables, we have excluded the Brandywine
Portfolio operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 for purposes of comparability with the

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

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

Minority interest variance is attributable to the minority partner’s share of gains from the sale
of Mervyns assets in 2005.
The variance in income tax expense relates to taxes at the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) level on
our share of gains from the sale of Mervyns locations during 2005.

| (1) | Represents income attributable to Common Operating Partnership Units and does not include distributions paid to Series A and B Preferred OP Unitholders. | |
| (2) | The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REIT’s. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. | |
| (3) | The extraordinary item represents the Company’s share of estimated extraordinary gain related to its private-equity investment in Albertson’s. The Albertson’s entity has recorded an extraordinary gain in connection with the allocation of purchase price to assets acquired. The Company considers its private-equity investments to be investments in operating businesses as opposed to real estate. Accordingly, all gains and losses from private-equity investments are included in FFO, which management believes provides a more accurate reflection of the operating performance of the Company. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Uses of Liquidity
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP
unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to our
opportunity funds, property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our
existing portfolio 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 first three quarters during 2007, we
paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. In December of 2007, our
Board of Trustees approved and declared an 5.0% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.21 per
Common Share and Common OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2007, which was paid January 15, 2008. In
addition, in December of 2007, our Board of Trustees approved a special dividend of $0.2225 per
Common Share in connection with taxable gains arising from property dispositions that was paid on
January 15, 2008 to the shareholders of record as of December 31, 2007.
Fund I and Mervyns I
In September 2001, the Operating Partnership committed $20.0 million to a newly formed opportunity
fund with four of our institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of
acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on
a leveraged basis.
On January 4, 2006, we recapitalized a one million square foot retail portfolio located in
Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”) through a merger of interests with affiliates of GDC
Properties (“GDC”). The Brandywine Portfolio was recapitalized through a “cash out” merger of the
77.8% interest, which was previously held by the institutional investors in Fund I (the
“Investors”) to affiliates of GDC at a valuation of $164.0 million. The Operating Partnership,
through a subsidiary, retained our existing 22.2%
35
Table of Contents
interest and continues to operate the Brandywine Portfolio and earn fees for such services. At the
closing, the Investors, excluding the Operating Partnership, received a return of all their capital
invested in Fund I and preferred return, thus triggering the Operating Partnership’s Promote
distribution in all future Fund I distributions and increasing the Operating Partnership’s interest
in cash flow and income from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote. In June 2006, the Investors
received $36.0 million of additional proceeds from this transaction following the replacement of
bridge financing provided by them with permanent mortgage financing.
As of December 31, 2007, Fund I has a total of 29 properties totaling 1.5 million square feet as
further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Fund II and Mervyns II
On June 15, 2004, we closed our second opportunity fund, Fund II, and during August 2004, formed
Mervyns II with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With
$300.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II combined expect to be
able to acquire up to $900.0 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating
Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture. The terms and
structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the preferred
return is 8%. As of December 31, 2007, $182.0 million had been contributed to Fund II, of which the
Operating Partnership’s share is $36.4 million.
Fund II has invested in the RCP Venture and the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiatives and
other investments as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K .

New York Urban/ Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment
initiative. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A, formed Acadia P/A
(“Acadia P/A”) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing
and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has
agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.2 million and Fund II, the managing
member, has agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia P/A agrees to invest.
Operating cash flow is generally to be distributed pro-rata to Fund II and P/A until each has
received a 10% cumulative return and then 60% to Fund II and 40% to P/A. Distributions of net
refinancing and net sales proceeds, as defined, follow the distribution of operating cash flow
except that unpaid original capital is returned before the 60%/40% split between Fund II and P/A,
respectively. Upon the liquidation of the last property investment of Acadia P/A, to the extent
that Fund II has not received an 18% internal rate of return (“IRR”) on all of its capital
contributions, P/A is obligated to return a portion of its previous distributions, as defined,
until Fund II has received an 18% IRR. To date, Fund II has invested in nine projects, eight of
which are in conjunction with P/A, as follows:

Fund III
In May 2007, we closed on our third opportunity fund, Fund III with fourteen institutional
investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II. With $503.0 million of
committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately
$1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of the committed
capital is $100.0 million and it is the sole managing member with a 19.9% interest in Fund III. The
terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the
Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%.
Fund III has invested in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiatives and another investment
as further discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K . The projects are as

Other Investments
During 2005, 2006 and 2007, we made the following other core portfolio investments as further
discussed in “PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K:
(i) $16.8 million in Amboy Road
(ii) $9.8 million for Clark/Diversey
(iii) $3.2 million for Boonton Shopping Center

(vii) $17.0 million for East Service Road
Property Development, Redevelopment and Expansion
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping
centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
During 2006, we commenced the redevelopment and re-tenanting of the Bloomfield Town Square, located
in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. A former outparcel building, occupied by Chrysler Dodge, was
demolished and replaced with a 17,500 square foot building
37
Table of Contents
occupied by Drexel Heritage and Panera Bread. The new tenants opened and commenced paying rent
during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, and are paying base rent at a 127% increase over that
of Chrysler Dodge. In addition, we have re-tenanted approximately 26,000 square feet to Circuit
City, which commenced paying rent in September of 2007 at a 79% increase over that of the former
tenants. Total costs for this project was $4.6 million.
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2007, we currently estimate that capital outlays of
approximately $2.5 million to $3.5 million will be required for tenant improvements, related
renovations and other property improvements.
Share Repurchase
Repurchases of our Common Shares is an additional use of liquidity as discussed in Item 5 of this
Form 10-K.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II and Fund III as well as new funds that we may establish in the future,
as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and
New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property
acquisitions, development, redevelopment, expansion, re-tenanting, tenanting, RCP investments and
New York Urban/Infill are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity
or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) unrelated member
capital contributions and (v) future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2007, we had
a total of approximately $202.3 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities, cash
and cash equivalents on hand of $123.3 million, and ten properties that are unencumbered and
available as potential collateral for future borrowings. In addition, during 2007, we, through our
RCP Venture, received cash distributions totaling approximately $53.2 million from our ownership
position in Albertsons. The Operating Partnership’s share of these distributions amounted to
approximately $10.0 million. 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. On January 5, 2006, we made a distribution of $42.7 million
utilizing a $42.7 million distribution we received from an unconsolidated affiliate on December 29,
2005.
Issuance of Convertible Notes
During December of 2006 and January of 2007, we issued $115.0 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes.
These notes were issued at par and are due in 2026. The $112.1 million in proceeds, net of related
costs, were used to retire variable rate debt, fund capital commitments and general company
purposes.
Shelf Registration Statements and Issuance of Equity
During January 2007, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing offerings for up to a
total of $300.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. To date, we have
not issued any securities pursuant to this shelf registration.
In addition, we have $46.7 million of remaining capacity to issue equity under the shelf
registration statement we filed in November 2004.
Financing and Debt
At December 31, 2007, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $517.0 million, net of
unamortized premium of $0.9 million, and were collateralized by 49 properties and related tenant
leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 3.75% to 8.5% with maturities
that ranged from March 2008 to November 2032. Taking into consideration $34.3 million of notional
principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of December 31, 2007
$401.4 million of the portfolio, or 78%, was fixed at a 5.2% weighted average interest rate and
$115.6 million, or 22% was floating at a 6.0% weighted average interest rate. There is $92.2
million of debt maturing in 2008 at weighted average interest rates of 5.8%. We intend to refinance
the indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
Reference is made to Note 7 and Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in this Form 10-K for a summary of the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31,
2006.
Asset Sales
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During December of 2007, we sold an
apartment complex in Columbia Missouri and during November and December of 2006, we sold the
Soundview Marketplace, Bradford Towne Center, Greenridge Plaza, Luzerne Street Shopping Center and
Pittston Plaza. During 2005 we sold the Berlin Shopping Center. These sales are discussed in “ASSET
SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING” in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2007, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from March 2008 to November 2032. In
addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at seven of our shopping centers. We lease space for
our White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2015. The following table summarizes our
debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases of December 31, 2007:

share of Fund III’s $503.0 million committed capital is $100.0 million.
In conjunction with the redevelopment of our core portfolio and opportunity fund properties, we
have entered into construction commitments aggregating approximately $47.8 million with general
contractors as of December 31, 2007.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating
properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting as we have a
non-controlling interest. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income from but
not the assets and liabilities of these joint ventures.
| – | The Operating Partnership owns a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). The Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt was $31.4 million as of December 31, 2007. This fixed-rate debt bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014. | ||
| – | The Operating Partnership owns a 22.2% investment in various entities which own the Brandywine Portfolio. The Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of Brandywine debt was $36.9 million as of December 31, 2007 with a fixed interest rate of 5.99%. These loans mature on July 1, 2016. | ||
| – | The Operating Partnership has a 4.9% interest in CityPoint, a Fund II investment, of which the Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of mortgage debt (net of Fund II minority interest share), was $1.7 million as of December 31, 2007. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 120 basis points and matures on June 13, 2008. | ||
| – | The Operating Partnership has an 18.9% interest in two Fund I investments of which the Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of mortgage debt (net of the Fund I minority interest share), was $3.2 million as of December 31, 2007. These loans carry a weighted average interest rate of 6.21% and both loans mature during August 2010. |
In addition, we have arranged for the provision of five separate letters of credit in connection
with certain leases and investments. As of December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding balances
under any of the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum
amount of exposure would be $12.2 million.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2007 versus 2006 is as follows:
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from an increase of $23.5 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2007, which was primarily due to the increase of $33.4 million in distributions of operating income from unconsolidated affiliates as a result of the distributions from Albertson’s in 2007 as well as those factors discussed in this Item 7. In addition, a net increase in cash of $42.1 million resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily other assets, that was the result of the repayment of notes relating to certain transactions in 2007 as well as an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $118.0 million of additional
expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations in 2007, $12.1
million of additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates, primarily CityPoint, in 2007, $9.9
million of additional collections of notes receivable in 2006 as well as an additional $18.8
million of proceeds from sales in 2006 and the repayment of $19.0 million of our preferred equity
investment in 2006. These net increases were offset by $29.6 million of additional notes receivable
originated in 2006.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted from an increase of $65.8
million of contributions from partners and members and minority interests in partially-owned
affiliates in 2007, as well as additional cash of $62.6 million from borrowings in 2007. These
increases were offset by an additional $85.0 million in cash received from the issuance of
convertible debt in 2006 and an additional $27.3 million of distributions to partners and members
in 2007
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 U.S, GAAP. The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base
our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical
accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. We
perform the impairment analysis by calculating and reviewing net operating income on a
property-by-property basis, we evaluate leasing projections and perform other analyses to conclude
whether an asset is impaired. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of
properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows
related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect
to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair
value. For properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to
sell. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no impairment losses were recognized. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, an impairment loss of $0.8 million was recognized related to a
property that was sold in July of 2005. Management does not believe that the value of any
properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2007 or 2006.
Bad Debts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of
tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will
not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and
straight-line rent. As of December 31, 2007, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$3.1 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.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition,
development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are
capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years
for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years
for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land,
buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and
acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No.
142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and allocate purchase price based on these
assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate
discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows
are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and
40
Table of Contents
market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts and Notes Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant takes
possession of the space. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the
level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is recognized in the period when the
tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to
the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These
reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant
revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts
receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be
uncollectible, it is written off.
Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual
terms of the notes. The Company reviews notes receivable on a quarterly basis to determine
collectability.
INFLATION
Our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our
net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on
tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in certain cases, escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation
clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indexes. In
addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to
increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market
rates. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including
common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure
to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of
fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of December 31, 2007, we had total mortgage
debt of $517.0 million of which $401.4 million, or 78%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate
swaps, and $115.6 million, or 22%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of
December 31, 2007, we were a party to four interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate
cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $34.3 million
and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2007 concerning our long-term debt
obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest
rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

Of our total consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt, $94.3 million
and $53.9 million will become due in 2008 and 2009, respectively. As we intend on refinancing some
or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the
current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $1.4 million annually
if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our
variable debt of $115.6 million as of December 31, 2007 would increase $1.2 million if LIBOR
increased by 100 basis points. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing
and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the
interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and
protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2007, the fair value of our total
outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $19.0 million if interest rates increase by 1%.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would
increase by approximately $20.4 million.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had notes receivable of $57.7 million and $36.0 million,
respectively. Given the short term nature of the notes and the fact that several of the notes are
demand notes, we have determined that the carrying value of the notes receivable approximates fair
value.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us
in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 as required
by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the
criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the
framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

BDO Seidman, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, which appears in
paragraph (b) of this Item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Acadia
Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, based on the assessed
risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained in all material respects effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 and our
report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the financial statements we have
also audited the accompanying financial statement schedule listed on page F-1. These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and
schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries at December 31,
2007, and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set
forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and
our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
As explained in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, Acadia Realty Trust
and subsidiaries adopted the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully
integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused
primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties,
including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail
components.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company operated 76 properties, which it owns or has an ownership
interest in, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United
States.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia
Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating
Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of December 31, 2007, the Trust controlled 98% of the
Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to
share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses
of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who
contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP
Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on
a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This
structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
During September of 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP
(“Fund I”), and during August of 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors
I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a
total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed a
total of $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring approximately $300.0 million in investments.
As of December 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership had contributed $16.5 million to Fund I and
$2.7 million to Mervyns I.
The Operating Partnership is the general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I,
with a 22.2% interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation
in excess of its invested capital based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash
flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership)
until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital
contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the
Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services)
is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating
Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been
distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is currently entitled to a Promote on all
earnings and distributions.
During June of 2004, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and
during August 2004 formed Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), with the investors from
Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300.0 million of committed
discretionary capital, Fund II and Mervyns II combined expect to be able to acquire or develop up
to $900.0 million of investments on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s share of
committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20%
interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are
substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I, including the Promote structure, with the exception
that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of December 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership had contributed
$28.8 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.
During May of 2007, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) with
fourteen institutional investors, including a majority of the investors from Fund I and Fund II.
With $503.0 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund III expects to be able to acquire or
develop approximately $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership’s
share of the invested capital is $100.0 million and it is the managing member with a 19.9% interest
in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III is substantially the same as the previous Funds I
and II, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of
December 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership had contributed $10.5 million to Fund III.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its
controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is
presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5. The
ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as minority interests. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence
over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method
of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these entities are
included in consolidated net income.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Principles of Consolidation, continued
Variable interest entities within the scope of Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”) are required to
be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity
is determined to be the party that bears a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a
majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R
to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures do not meet
the requirements of a variable interest entity or the Company is not
the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is
not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
On January 4, 2006, Fund I recapitalized its investment in a one million square foot shopping
center portfolio located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”). The recapitalization was
effected through the conversion of the 77.8% interest which was previously held by the
institutional investors in Fund I to affiliates of GDC Properties (“GDC”) through a merger of
interests in exchange for cash. The Operating Partnership has retained its existing 22.2% interest
in the Brandywine Portfolio in partnership with GDC and continues to operate the portfolio and earn
fees for such services. Following the January 2006 recapitalization of the Brandywine Portfolio,
the Company no longer has a controlling interest in this investment and, accordingly, accounts for
this investment under the equity method of accounting.
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method
as it does not exercise control over significant asset decisions such as buying, selling or
financing nor is it the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R, as discussed above. Under the equity
method, the Company increases its investment for its proportionate share of net income and
contributions to the joint venture and decreases its investment balance by recording its
proportionate share of net loss and distributions. The Company recognizes income for distributions
in excess of its investment where there is no recourse to the Company. For investments in which
there is recourse to the Company, distributions in excess of the investment are recorded as a
liability. Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s (Note 4), using the
equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings
or losses of this unconsolidated affiliate until the Company receives the audited financial
statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with paragraph 19
of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common
Stock.”
The Company periodically reviews its investment in unconsolidated joint ventures for other than
temporary declines in market value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next
twelve months is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a
reduction in the carrying value of the investment. No impairment charges were recognized for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Use of Estimates
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require the
Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate
to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of
trade accounts receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to
future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition,
development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are
capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete.
Construction in progress includes costs for significant property expansion and redevelopment.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years
for buildings, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for tenant improvements and five years
for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred.
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including
land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases
and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Real Estate, continued
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and allocates purchase price based on these
assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize
appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future
cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known
trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event,
or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. The Company records impairment
losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and
the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying
amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties
held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for
sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no impairment losses were recognized. During the year ended
December 31, 2005, an impairment loss of $0.8 million was recognized related to a property that was
sold during July of 2005. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the
portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2007.
Sale of Real Estate
The Company recognizes property sales in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate.” The Company generally records the sales of operating properties and outparcels using the
full accrual method at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. Sales not
qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale are accounted for under other appropriate
deferral methods.
Real Estate Held-for Sale
The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate each quarter. Assets that
are classified as held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value
less cost to sell. Assets are generally classified as held-for-sale once management has initiated
an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment. The results
of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all
periods reported.
On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual
Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as
held-for-sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has
funds at risk to ensure performance.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred
in connection with obtaining financing have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of
the related debt obligation.
Management Contracts
Income from management contracts is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The
initial acquisition cost of the management contracts is being amortized over the estimated lives of
the contracts acquired. Income from management contracts for the year ended December 31, 2005 is
net of sub-management fees of $0.3 million.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts and Notes Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases, beginning when the tenant takes
possession of the space. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, included in rents receivable, net on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet, unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of
rents were $8.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Certain of these leases also provide for
percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rent is
recognized in the period when the tenants’ sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically
provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property
operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are
incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to tenant
revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts
receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be
uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are shown net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Revenue Recognition and Accounts and Notes Receivable, continued
Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual
terms of the notes. The Company reviews notes receivable on a quarterly basis and determined that
all notes receivable are deemed to be collectible as of December 31, 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow
Restricted cash and cash in escrow consist principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property
maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific
properties as required by certain loan agreements.
Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections
856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT
status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least
90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders as well as comply with certain other
requirements as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate
income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.
Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to
state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In
addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s taxable REIT
subsidiaries (“TRS”) are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
TRS income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as required by SFAS
No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes
are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of the TRS assets and liabilities.
The
Company adopted the provisions of the FASB financial Interpretation
No. 48, “ Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an
interpretation of SFAS No. 109” as of January 1, 2007. The
Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax
positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax
positions that result in a material impact on the Company’s
financial position or results of operation. The prior three years
income tax returns are subject to review by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Company’s policy relating to interest and penalties
is to recognize them as a component of the provision for income
taxes.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options pursuant to SFAS No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”. As such, all stock options are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the
stock option was granted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”
This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in
quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The guidance in
this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after
November 15, 2006. As a result of the adoption of SAB No. 108, the Company recorded a $1.8 million
cumulative effect of straight-line rent adjustment for prior years effective January 1, 2006. This
adjustment was the result of changing the calculation of tenants straight-line rent from rent
commencement date to the date the tenant took possession of the space. This adjustment is reflected
in the Company’s balance sheet as an increase to both rents receivable, net and retained earnings.
During September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157
“Fair Value Measurements.” This SFAS defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies to
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based
payment transactions under SFAS No. 123. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe
adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities”. This statement permits companies and not-for-profit organizations to make a
one-time election to carry eligible types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value, even
if fair value measurement is not required under GAAP. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption
of SFAS No. 159.
On August 31, 2007, the FASB issued a proposed FASB Staff Position (the “Proposed FSP”) that
affects the accounting for the Company’s convertible notes payable. The Proposed FSP requires the
initial debt proceeds from the sale of the Company’s convertible notes to be allocated between a
liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount must be amortized over the
period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The Proposed FSP,
if adopted, would be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would require
retroactive application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this Proposed FSP
would have on its financial statements if adopted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements,” which, among other things, provides guidance and establishes amended accounting and
reporting standards for a parent company’s noncontrolling or minority interest in a
subsidiary. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the Statement, which is
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No.
141 Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R, among other things, establishes principles and
requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting the Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008.

B. Discontinued Operations
SFAS No. 144 requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a “component” of an
entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, for all periods presented, the Company has reclassified

discontinued operations.
The combined results of operations of sold properties are reported separately as discontinued

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has three reportable segments: core portfolio, opportunity funds and other which,
primarily consists of management fee and 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 finite life of the opportunity funds, these investments are typically held for
shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as general partner/member of the opportunity funds are
eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company previously reported two
reportable segments, retail properties and multi-family properties. During December of 2007, the
Company sold the majority of its multi-family properties and realigned the segments to reflect the
way the Company now manages the business. The following table sets forth certain segment
information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

4. Investments
A. Investments In and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”)
During January of 2004, the Company entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”)
and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized
properties owned by retailers. Through December 31, 2007, the Company has invested $55.4 million
through the RCP Venture on a non-recourse basis. Cash flow is to be distributed to the RCP Venture
partners in accordance with their ownership interests 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 and 80% to the partners (including Klaff).
Mervyns Department Stores
During September of 2004, the RCP Venture invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns
Department Store chain from Target Corporation. The gross acquisition price of $1.2 billion was
financed with $800 million of debt and $400 million of equity. The Company’s share of this
investment was $23.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company made an additional
investment of $2.2 million in Mervyns through the RCP Venture.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company made add-on investments in Mervyns totaling $1.3
million. The Company accounts for these add-on investments using the cost method due to the minor
ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and
financial policies.
Albertson’s
During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment
consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods, of which the Company’s share was $20.7 million.
During February of 2007, the Company received a cash distribution of $44.4 million from this
investment which was sourced from the disposition of certain operating stores and a refinancing of
the remaining assets held by Albertson’s. The distribution in excess of the Company’s invested
capital was reflected as an extraordinary gain of $30.2 million. This gain was characterized as
extraordinary consistent with the accounting treatment by Albertson’s which reflected the excess of
fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price as an extraordinary gain. The Company
received additional distributions from this investment totaling $8.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company made add-on investments in Albertson’s
totaling $2.8 million and received distributions totaling $0.8 million. The Company accounts for
these add-on investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership interest and the
inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies.
Other Investments
During 2006, the Company made additional investments of $1.1 million in Shopko and $0.7 million in
Marsh through the RCP Venture. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company received a $1.1
million cash distribution from the Shopko investment representing 100% of its invested capital.
During July of 2007, the RCP Venture acquired a portfolio of 87 retail properties from Rex Stores
Corporation. The Company’s share of this investment was $2.7 million.
The Company accounts for the two above investments using the cost method due to its minor ownership
interest and the inability to exert influence over the partnership’s operating and financial
policies.

B. Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investment
During March of 2005, the Company made a $20.0 million preferred equity investment (“Preferred
Equity Investment”) in Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of fee and leasehold interests in
30 current or former Levitz Furniture Store locations (the “Levitz Properties”), totaling
2.5 million square feet.
During June 2006, the Company converted the Preferred Equity Investment to a first mortgage loan
and made an additional advance bringing the total outstanding amount to $31.3 million. The loan
matures on May 31, 2008 and bears interest at a rate of 10.5%. During 2006, Levitz SL sold one of
the Levitz Properties located in Northridge, California and used $20.4 million of the proceeds to
pay down the loan. During 2007, Levitz SL sold an additional Levitz Property located in St. Paul
Minnesota and used $4.8 million of the proceeds to pay down the first mortgage loan. As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the loan balance amounted to $6.1 million and $10.9 million,
respectively, and was secured by fee and leasehold mortgages as well as a pledge of the entities
owning 13 of the remaining Levitz Properties totaling 1.3 million square feet. Although Levitz
Furniture filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection during November 2007, the Company believes the
underlying value of the real estate is sufficient to recover the principal and interest due under
the mortgage.

8. Convertible Notes Payable
In December 2006, the Company issued $100.0 million of convertible notes with a fixed interest rate
of 3.75% due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require
interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year. The
Convertible Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. On January 8, 2007, the option to increase the issuance
of the Convertible Notes by an additional $15.0 million, was exercised, resulting in additional
proceeds of $14.7 million. The Convertible Notes had an initial conversion price of $30.86 per
share. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will deliver cash and, in some
circumstances, Common Shares, as specified in the indenture relating to the Convertible Notes. The
Convertible Notes may only be converted prior to maturity: (i) during any calendar quarter
beginning after December 31, 2006 (and only during such calendar quarter), if, and only if, the
closing sale price of the Company’s Common Shares for at least 20 trading days (whether consecutive
or not) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the
preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the conversion price per common share in effect
on the applicable trading day; or (ii) during the five consecutive trading-day period following any
five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price of the notes was less than 98% of
the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Shares multiplied by the applicable
conversion rate; or (iii) if those notes have been called for redemption, at any time prior to the
close of business on the second business day prior to the redemption date; or (iv) if the Company’s
Common Shares are not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange for 30
consecutive trading days. Prior to December 20, 2011, the Company will not have the right to redeem
Convertible Notes, except to preserve its status as a REIT. After December 20, 2011, the Company
will have the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time,
for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest
to, but not including, the redemption date. The Holders of notes may require the Company to
repurchase their notes, in whole or in part, on December 20, 2011, December 15, 2016, and December
15, 2021 for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus any
accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.
If certain change of control transactions occur prior to December 20, 2011 and a holder elects to
convert the Convertible Notes in connection with any such transaction, the Company will increase
the conversion rate in connection with such conversion by a number of additional common shares
based on the date such transaction becomes effective and the price paid per common share in such
transaction. The conversion rate may also be adjusted under certain other circumstances, including
the payment of cash dividends in excess of our current regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per
Common Share, but will be not adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on the notes.
Upon a conversion of notes, the Company will deliver cash and, at the Company’s election, its
Common Shares, with an aggregate value, which the Company refers to as the “conversion value”,
equal to the conversion rate multiplied by the average price of the Company’s Common Shares as
follows: (i) an amount in cash which the Company refers to as the “principal return”, equal to the
lesser of (a) the principal amount of the converted notes and (b) the conversion value; and (ii) if
the conversion value is greater than the principal return, an amount with a value equal to the
difference between the conversion value and the principal return, which the Company refers to as
the “new amount”. The net amount may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash, its Common Shares
or a combination of cash and its Common Shares.
The scheduled principal repayments of all indebtedness as of December 31, 2007 are as follows:
| (dollars in thousands) | ||||

In February 2005, the Company issued $4.0 million (250,000 Restricted Common OP Units valued at
$16.00 each) of Restricted Common OP Units to Klaff in consideration for the remaining 25% interest
in certain management contract rights previously acquired from Klaff as well as the rights to
certain potential future revenue streams. This followed the acquisition of 75% of the management
contract rights from Klaff in January 2004 as reflected below. The Restricted Common OP Units are
convertible into the Company’s Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five-year lock-up
period. $1.1 million of the purchase price was allocated to investment in management contracts in
the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the estimated remaining life of the
contracts.
The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued on November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition
of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping
Center. Through December 31, 2007, 696 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 92,800
Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The Series A Preferred OP Units are currently
convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or
the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser
of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.
4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units were issued to Klaff during January of 2004 in consideration for
the acquisition of 75% of certain management contract rights. The Preferred OP Units are
convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time.
Additionally, Klaff may currently redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units. After the
fifth anniversary of the issuance, the Company may redeem the Preferred OP Units and convert them
into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date. The $4.0 million purchase price is
reflected in the investment in management contracts in the consolidated balance sheet and is being
amortized over the estimated life of the contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
$0.5 million of these Klaff management contracts were written off following the disposition of
these assets. During 2007, Klaff converted all 4,000 Series B Preferred Units into 312,013 Common
OP Units and ultimately into Common Shares.
10. Related Party Transactions
During January 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 4000 Restricted Preferred OP Units to Klaff
for certain management contract rights and the rights to certain potential future revenue streams.
During 2007, Klaff converted all of these units into 312,013 Common Shares (Note 9).
During February 2005, the Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million of Restricted Common OP Units
to Klaff for the balance of certain management contract rights as well as the rights to certain
potential future revenue streams (Note 9).
During March 2005, the Company completed $20.0 million Preferred Equity Investment with Levitz SL,
of which Klaff is the managing member. In June 2006, the Company converted its Preferred Equity

affirmed. One tenant has filed a notice of rejection dated January 18, 2008. During the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the
Company’s total revenues.
12. Lease Obligations
The Company leases land at seven of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating
leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $4.1
million, $4.5 million, and $3.5 million (including capitalized ground rent at properties under
development of $2.7 million, $3.4 million and $2.7 million) for the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The leases terminate at various dates between 2008 and 2066. These
leases provide the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 20 to
60 years. The Company leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in
2015. Office rent expense under this lease was $0.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Future minimum rental payments required

authorizes the issuance of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares (“Restricted
Shares”), restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) and performance units (collectively, “Awards”) to
officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company equal to up to four
percent of the total Common Shares of the Company outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted
basis. However, no participant may receive more than the equivalent of 1,000,000 Common Shares
during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards. Options are granted by the Compensation
Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of two non-employee Trustees, and will not
have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of
greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee.
Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common
Shares, at the discretion of the Committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common
Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the grant date. The
Committee determines the restrictions placed on Awards, including the dividends or distributions
thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of
performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance
objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2007, no
share appreciation rights or performance units/shares had been awarded.
During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan is
substantially similar to the 2003 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares equivalents
that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2006 Plan is 500,000
On January 15, 2007 (the “Grant Date”), the Company issued 108,823 Restricted Common Shares
(“Restricted Shares”) to officers and 20,735 Restricted Shares to employees of the Company. The

and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable
right to such shares. All Restricted Shares are subject to the recipients’ continued employment
with the Company through the applicable vesting dates. Vesting with respect to 61,940 of the
Restricted Shares issued to officers is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four
anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the Restricted Shares issued to
officers is also subject to certain Company performance targets. Vesting with respect to 46,883 of
the Restricted Shares issued to officers is over three years with 30% vesting on the first
anniversary and 35% vesting on the following two anniversaries of the Grant Date. Vesting with
respect to the 20,735 Restricted Shares issued to employees is over four years with 25% vesting on
each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant Date. In addition, vesting on 25% of the
Restricted Shares issued to employees is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the
Company’s Common Shares.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 50,000 Restricted Shares to an officer in connection
with his promotion to Executive Vice President. Vesting with respect to these Restricted Shares, is
over five years with 20% vesting on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date.
Dividends on 46,883 of the Restricted Shares, issued to officers are paid currently on both
unvested and vested shares. Dividends on 132,675 of these Restricted Shares will not be paid until
such Restricted Shares vest. There will be a cumulative dividend payment upon vesting from the
Grant Date to the applicable vesting date.
The total value of the above Restricted Share awards on the date of grant was $4.5 million.
Compensation expense of $1.1 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements related to these Restricted Shares for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The weighted average fair value for shares
granted for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
were $24.91, $20.46 and $16.30, respectively.
On the Grant Date, the Company also issued 20,322 LTIP Units to officers and 1,214 LTIP Units to
employees of the Company. LTIP Units are similar to Restricted Shares but provide for a quarterly
partnership distribution in a like amount as paid to Common OP Units. This distribution is paid on
both unvested and vested LTIP Units. The LTIP Units are convertible into Common OP Units and Common
Shares upon vesting and a revaluation of the book capital accounts. Vesting with respect to the
LTIP Units is over four years with 25% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries of the Grant
Date. In addition, vesting on 50% of the officers LTIP Units and 25% of the employees LTIP Units
are also subject to certain Company performance targets.

14. Employee Share Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible
employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan
provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the
closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the
quarter, whichever is lower. The amount of the payroll deductions will not exceed a percentage of
the participant’s annual compensation that the Committee establishes from time to time, and a
participant may not purchase more than 1,000 Common Shares per quarter. Compensation expense will
be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the average closing price of
the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2007, 2006 and 2005, 7,123,
5,307 and 6,412 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan.
Associated compensation expense of $0.03 million was recorded in 2007 and $0.02 million was
recorded in 2006 and 2005.
During August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election pursuant to the
1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer
receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (“Share Units”) that would otherwise would have been issued upon
the exercise of certain options. The payment of the option exercise price was made by tendering
Common Shares that the participants owned for at least six months prior to the option exercise
date. The Share Units are equivalent to a Common Share on a one-for-one basis and carry a dividend
equivalent right equal to the dividend rate for the Company’s Common shares. The deferral period is
determined by each of the participants and generally terminates after the cessation of the
participants continuous service with the Company, as defined in the agreement. In December 2004,
optionees exercised 346,000 options pursuant to the Deferred Share Election and tendered 155,513
Common Shares in consideration of the option exercise price. In 2004 the Company issued 155,513
Common Shares to optionees and 190,487 Share Units. During 2007, 2006 and 2005 there were no
additional Share Units contributed to the plan.

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of
a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may
contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $15,500 for the year
ended December 31, 2007. The Company contributed $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

completion of its 2007 disposition initiatives. In connection with the taxable gains arising from
these and earlier property dispositions, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a special
dividend totaling $7.4 million, or $0.2225 per Common Share, which was paid on January 15, 2008 to
the shareholders of record as of December 31, 2007.
17. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”) and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code of
1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and
operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its
annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be
subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at
least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed
sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no U.S. Federal
income or excise taxes were incurred. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable
year, it will be subject to Federal income taxes at the regular corporate rates (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four
subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is
subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and Federal income and excise
taxes on any undistributed taxable income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities
managed through the Company’s TRS are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.

17. Federal Income Taxes, continued
The primary difference between the GAAP and tax reported amounts of the Company’s assets and
liabilities are a higher GAAP basis in its real estate properties. This is primarily the result of
assets acquired as a result of property contributions in exchange for OP Units and the utilization
of Code Section 1031 deferred exchanges.

18. Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure on the
fair value of financial instruments. Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered
financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Prepaid Expenses,
Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to
Related Parties and Other Liabilities. The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities
approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.
Notes Receivable — as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had notes receivable of $57.7
million and $36.0 million, respectively. Given the short-term nature of the notes and the fact
that several of the notes are demand notes, the Company has determined that the carrying value of
the notes receivable approximates fair value.
Derivative Instruments — the fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts
the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and is
determined using interest rate market pricing models.
Mortgage Notes Payable and Notes Payable — As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has
determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable, including those relating to
discontinued operations, were $519.4 million and $439.1 million, respectively, by discounting
future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage
notes payable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended and
interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required
by SFAS 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting
for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an
asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk,
are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected
future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and
the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated
as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is
initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently
reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion
of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company
assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or
cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the
designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair
value are recognized in earnings.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of
net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for
trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated
as hedges.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the Company’s derivative

The above derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash
outflows on mortgage debt. Such instruments are reported at the fair values reflected above. As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, unrealized losses totaling $1.1 and $0.2 million, respectively were
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
19. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to common
shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each
year consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted
into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of
the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share
from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

19. Earnings Per Common Share, continued
The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested
restricted shares (Note 13) and Share Units (Note 14) that are entitled to receive dividend
equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above
table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to
such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net
impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The
conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 8) is not reflected
in the table above as such conversion would be anti- dilutive.

21. Commitments and Contingencies
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection
of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the
cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored,
generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the
Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation
at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These
reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental
condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that
the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems
that may exist. Where a Phase II assessment is so recommended, a Phase II assessment is conducted
to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a
Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company
has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the
Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown
environmental risks.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and
local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware
of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the
Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in
which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold,
disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance,
liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business.
While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s
management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s
resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
22. Subsequent Events
On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into contract to sell the Ledgewood Mall for $55 million.
Ledgewood Mall is a 517,000 square foot enclosed mall in Ledgewood, New Jersey. The Company expects
to close on this transaction in the second quarter of 2008.
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the investment consortium which owns Mervyns (Note
4), sold 41 Mervyns Store locations. The Operating Partnership’s share of the gain amounted to
approximately $1.9 million, net of taxes.
During December 2007, the Company, through Fund III, and in conjunction with its current
self-storage partner, Storage Post, entered into an agreement to acquire a portfolio of ten
self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $160
million. During January 2008, the Company, through Fund III, entered into an agreement to acquire
an additional Storage Post self-storage project currently under construction for approximately $11
million. These transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of 2008.
