PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Acadia Realty Trust (the Company, Acadia, we, us or our) was formed on March 4, 1993 as a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). 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 75 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in. These assets are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States which, in total, comprise approximately 10 million square feet. We also have non-operational investments in properties throughout the country through joint ventures.
All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the Operating Partnership) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2005 we controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, we are entitled to share, in proportion to our 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 partnerships to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (Common OP Units or Preferred OP Units). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (Common Shares). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or UPREIT.
Capital Market Transactions
On January 27, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued 4,000 Series B Preferred Units in connection with the acquisition from Klaff Realty, L.P. (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. Additionally, the holder of the Preferred OP Units may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units (at our option) after the earlier of the third anniversary of their issuance, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in the control of our Company. Finally, after the fifth anniversary of the issuance, we may redeem the Preferred OP Units and convert them into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date.
In March of 2004, a secondary public offering was completed for a total of 5,750,000 Common Shares. The selling shareholders, Yale University and its affiliates (Yale) and Ross Dworman, a former trustee and Chairman, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. Yale was a major shareholder, owning, at one time, approximately one-third of all of our outstanding Common Shares. We did not sell any Common Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.
During November 2004, we issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the Offering). The Offering was made pursuant to shelf registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2000, May 14, 2003 and March 19, 2004. The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Yale, and Kenneth F. Bernstein, our Chief Executive Officer, also sold 1,000,000, and 110,000 Common Shares, respectively, in connection with this transaction.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Effective February 15, 2005, we acquired the balance of Klaffs rights to provide the above services and 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.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
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
Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth
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
External Growth Strategy - Opportunistic Acquisition Platforms
In addition to our direct investments in real estate assets, we have also capitalized on our expertise in the acquisition, redevelopment, leasing and management of retail real estate by establishing joint ventures in which we earn, in addition to a return on our equity interest, fees for our services. To date we have launched two acquisition joint ventures, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (Fund I) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (Fund II).
Fund I
In September 2001, we and four of our institutional shareholders formed a joint venture, whereby the investors committed $70 million for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. We committed an additional $20 million to Fund I, as the general partner with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on our invested equity, we are entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners (including us) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 80% to the partners (including us) and 20% to us. We also earn a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the allocated invested equity, as well as fees for property management, leasing and construction services.
Our acquisition program was executed exclusively through Fund I through June 2004. Fund I focused on targeting assets for acquisition that had superior in-fill locations, restricted competition due to high barriers of entry and in-place below-market anchor leases with the potential to create significant additional value through re-tenanting, timely capital improvements and property redevelopment. Fund I considered both single assets and portfolios in its acquisition program. Although our core properties are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest region, and therefore Fund I focused on potential acquisitions within these geographic areas, Fund I considered portfolio acquisitions outside the geographic footprint.
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 million. We, through a subsidiary, retained our existing 22.2% interest and will continue to operate the Brandywine Portfolio and earn fees for such services. At the closing, the Fund I investors received a return of all of their capital invested in Fund I and preferred return, thus triggering the payment to us of our additional 20% carried interest (Promote) in all future Fund I distributions. It is anticipated that up to $38 million of additional proceeds will be distributed to our investors from this transaction following, among other things, the successful replacement of bridge financing provided by us and our investors. Additionally there are 32 assets comprising approximately 2 million square feet remaining in Fund I in which our interest in cash flow and income will increase from 22.2% to 37.8% as a result of the Promote.
Fund II
Following our success with Fund I, we formed a second, larger acquisition joint venture. In June of 2004, we launched Fund II, which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. We are the managing member with a 20% interest in Fund II. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the Preferred Return is 8% and the asset management fee is calculated on committed equity of $250 million for the first twelve months and then on the total committed equity of $300 million thereafter.

As the demand for retail real estate has significantly increased in recent years, there has been a commensurate increase in selling prices. In an effort to generate superior risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders and joint venture investors, we have channeled our acquisition efforts through Fund II in two new opportunistic joint ventures launched during 2004 the Retailer Controlled Property Venture and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative.
Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the RCP Venture)
On January 27, 2004, through Funds I and II, we entered into the RCP Venture with Klaff and Klaffs long time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (Lubert-Adler) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. Affiliates of Funds I and II have invested $24.6 million in the RCP Venture to date. Fund II anticipates investing the remaining portion of the original 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (Klaffs Promote) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). We will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture. Fund II seeks to invest opportunistically in the RCP Venture primarily in the following three ways:
Working with financially healthy retailers to create value from their surplus real estate
Acquiring properties, designation rights or other control of real estate or leases associated with retailers in bankruptcy
Completing 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 as discussed in PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in Item 1 of this Form 10-K. The RCP Venture is also currently exploring additional investment opportunities.
New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative
In September of 2004, we, through Fund II, launched our New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative. As retailers continue to recognize that many of the nations urban markets are underserved from a retail standpoint, Fund II is poised to capitalize on this trend by investing in redevelopment projects in dense urban areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites. During 2004, Fund II, together with an unaffiliated partner, P/A Associates, LLC (P/A), formed Acadia-P/A Holding Company, LLC (Acadia-P/A) for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, developing, owning, operating, leasing and managing certain retail real estate properties in the New York City metropolitan area. P/A has agreed to invest 10% of required capital up to a maximum of $2.0 million and Fund II, the managing member, has agreed to invest the balance to acquire assets in which Acadia-P/A agrees to invest. Operating cash flow is generally to be distributed pro-rata to Fund II and P/A until they have received a 10% cumulative return and then 60% to Fund II and 40% to P/A. Distributions of net refinancing and net sales proceeds, as defined, follow the distribution of operating cash flow except that unpaid original capital is returned before the 60%/40% split between Fund II and P/A, respectively. Upon the liquidation of the last property investment of Acadia-P/A, to the extent that Fund II has not received an 18% internal rate of return (IRR) on all of its capital contributions, P/A is obligated to return a portion of its previous distributions, as defined, until Fund II has received an 18% IRR. To date, Fund II has, in conjunction with P/A, invested in six projects through Fund II as discussed further in PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Other Investments
We may also invest in preferred equity investments, mortgages, other real estate interests and other investments. The mortgages in which we invest in may be either first mortgages or mezzanine debt, where we believe the underlying value of the real estate collateral is in excess of its loan balance. In March of 2005, we invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (Preferred Equity) in Levitz SL, L.L.C. (Levitz SL), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the Properties), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2 million per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time.
We also regularly engage in discussions with public and private entities regarding business combinations. Furthermore, we may consider either acquiring directly or engaging in additional joint ventures related to property acquisition and development. 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.

Operating Strategy - Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record
Our senior management team has an average of 8 years with us and our predecessors and 25 years in the real estate industry. During 2002, the management team successfully completed a multi-year portfolio repositioning initiative that significantly improved the quality of our portfolio and tenant base. We believe our management team has demonstrated the ability to create value internally through anchor recycling, property redevelopment and strategic non-core dispositions.
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 assets specific risks and returns. Also, because of the Operating Departments involvement with, and corresponding understanding of, the acquisition process, transition time is minimized and management can immediately execute on its strategic plan for each asset.
We typically hold our properties for long-term investment. As such, we continuously review the existing portfolio and implement programs to renovate and modernize targeted centers to enhance the propertys market position. This in turn strengthens the competitive position of the leasing program to attract and retain quality tenants, increasing cash flow and consequently property value. We also periodically identify certain properties for disposition and redeploy the capital to existing centers or acquisitions with greater potential for capital appreciation. Our core portfolio consists primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers, which are generally dominant centers in high barrier-to-entry markets. The anchors at these centers typically pay market or below-market rents and have low rent-to-sales ratios, which are, on average, less than 5%. Furthermore, supermarket and necessity-based retailers anchor the majority of our core portfolio. These attributes enable our properties to better withstand a weakening economy while also creating opportunities to increase rental income.
During 2004 and 2005 we sold two non-core properties and redeployed the capital to acquire two retail properties during 2005 as further discussed in ASSET SALES and PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Financing Strategy
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 cash on hand, bank and other institutional borrowing, the sale of properties and issuance of equity securities. We continually focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet when considering the sourcing of capital. We manage our interest rate risk primarily through the use of variable and fixed rate debt. We also utilize LIBOR swap agreements in managing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. See Item 7A for a discussion on our market risk exposure related to our mortgage debt.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
RCP Venture
In September 2004, we made our first RCP Venture investment with our participation in the acquisition of Mervyns. Affiliates of Fund I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, invested in the acquisition of Mervyns through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyns from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.2 billion subject to debt of approximately $800.0 million. Our share of equity invested aggregated $24.6 million on a non-recourse basis and was divided equally between affiliates of Funds I and II. As of the date of acquisition, Mervyns was a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration. During 2005, the consortium sold a portion of the portfolio as well as refinanced existing mortgage debt and distributed cash to the investors, of which a total of $42.7 million was distributed to affiliates of Fund I and Fund II of which our share amounted to $10.2 million. In February of 2006, the consortium distributed additional cash of which a total of $1.4 million was distributed to affiliates of Fund I and Fund II of which $0.4 million was our share.
New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
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 98
th
Street in Queens (Ozone Park), NY. The development plans for this property includes 30,000 square feet of retail anchored by a CVS drug store and a 98,500 square foot self-storage facility to be operated by Storage Post. Acadia-P/A will be a partner in the self-storage complex with Storage Post, which is anticipated to be a partner in future retail projects in New York City where self storage will be a potential component of the redevelopment. The total cost of the redevelopment is expected to be approximately $13 million. The CVS 10,880 square foot lease has been executed and construction on this project has commenced.

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative
216
th
Street - On December 1, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired a 65,000 square foot parking garage located at 10
th
Avenue and 216
th
Street in the Inwood section of Manhattan for $7 million. Acadia-P/A plans to redevelop the building into a 60,000 square foot office building and are finalizing a lease where it would relocate an agency of the City of New York, which is a current tenant at another of our Urban/Infill Redevelopment projects. Inclusive of acquisition costs, total costs for the project, which also includes a 100-space rooftop parking deck, are anticipated to be $25 million.
161
st
Street - On August 5, 2005, Acadia-P/A purchased 244-268 161
st
Street located in the Bronx for $49.3 million, inclusive of closing costs. In connection with the transaction, Acadia-P/A borrowed $12.1 million from Bank of America as bridge financing. The loan carries variable-rate interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% with monthly payments of interest only. The loan matures March 31, 2006. The ultimate redevelopment plan for the property, a 100% occupied, 10-story office building, is to reconfigure the property so that approximately 50% of the income from the building will eventually be derived from retail tenants.
4650 Broadway
- On April 6, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired 4650 Broadway located in the Washington Heights/Inwood section of Manhattan. The property, a 140,000 square foot building, which is currently occupied by the City of New York and a commercial parking garage, was acquired for a purchase price of $25 million. Acadia-P/A plans to redevelop the site to include retail, commercial and residential components totaling over 300,000 square feet. The retail and commercial (including office, Community Use and parking) portion comprise approximately 50% of the project and the residential component comprises the other 50%. Redevelopment of the project is anticipated to commence during 2007 with completion expected 18 months thereafter. Expected costs to complete the retail and commercial component of the project are estimated at $40 million before any potential sale of the residential air rights. In lieu of directly developing the residential portion of the project, the rights to this component may be sold while retaining ownership of the other portions of the project.
Pelham Manor
- On October 1, 2004, Acadia-P/A entered into a 95-year, inclusive of extension options, ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. The property is in an upper middle-income, infill neighborhood located approximately 10 miles from Manhattan with over 400,000 people in a three-mile radius. The redevelopment contemplates the demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center. Acadia-P/A anticipates the redevelopment to cost between $30 and $33 million, with construction anticipated to commence during 2007. In the interim, the property will continue to be operated as an industrial and warehouse facility. Prior to commencement of the redevelopment process, the warehouse rents collected are projected to equal the ground rent payment.
Fordham Road
- On September 29, 2004, Acadia-P/A purchased 400 East Fordham Road in the Bronx, NY. The property, a multi-level retail and commercial building, is located at the intersection of East Fordham Road and Webster Avenue, near Fordham University. Sears is the major tenant of the property, retailing on four levels. The redevelopment of the property is scheduled to commence in 2007 following the expiration of the Sears lease, which was originally signed in 1964. However, depending on current negotiations with both Sears and other potential anchors, the timeframe of the redevelopment may be accelerated. As part of the redevelopment, there is the potential for additional expansion of up to 85,000 square feet of space. The total cost of the redevelopment project, including the acquisition cost of $30 million, is estimated to be between $65 and $70 million, depending on the ultimate scope of the project. On February 25, 2005, Acadia-P/A acquired vacant land adjacent to the 400 East Fordham Road property for $867,000.
In addition to the above New York Urban/Infill projects, Fund II also acquired the following:
During July 2005, Fund II acquired for $1.0 million, a 50% equity interest from its partner in the RCP Venture in the entity which has a leasehold interest in a former Levitz Furniture store located in Rockville, Maryland.
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.

Fund I
To date, Fund I has purchased a total of 35 assets totaling 2.7 million square feet. During January 2006, Fund I recapitalized the Brandywine Portfolio, representing two assets totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet, through a merger of interests with GDC as discussed further in BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K. Following are the Fund I acquisitions:
2004 Acquisitions
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with our long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (Hendon), purchased a $9.6 million first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5.5 million. The loan, which was secured by the Hitchcock Plaza in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. We provided $3.2 million of mortgage financing to the project in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matured March 9, 2006, and bore interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to this loan, we invested $0.9 million, primarily our pro-rata share of equity, as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1.5 million. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, we provided an additional $0.75 million mortgage loan to the project with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
During February 2006, Fund I finalized an agreement with Hendon whereby Fund I converted its common equity to a preferred equity position with a 15% preferred return. In connection with this agreement, Hendon assumed all operational, redevelopment and leasing responsibilities. Hendon also secured construction financing from which the first mortgage loans to us were repaid.
In May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for $5.3 million. Related to this acquisition, we loaned $2.0 million to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matured May 2005. This loan has been converted to a demand note. The 35,000 square foot, Westchester, NY property (New York City MSA), was formerly anchored by a 25,000 square foot Grand Union supermarket. The redeveloped property includes a 15,000 square foot Walgreens drugstore with the balance of space leased to shop tenants.
In May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in the Haygood Shopping Center and the Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3.2 million. These assets are part of the portfolio that we currently manage as a result of our January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts from Klaff. The Haygood Shopping Center is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Virginia Beach, VA. It is currently 73% occupied and anchored by a Farmfresh supermarket and Eckerd Drug. The Sterling Heights Shopping Center, located in Sterling Heights, MI (suburb of Detroit), totals 141,000 square feet. The property is 55% occupied and is anchored by Burlington Coat Factory. Redevelopment activities include the complete renovation of the property and the re-leasing of the current vacancy to Rite-Aid.
2003 Acquisitions
Brandywine Portfolio
- In January of 2003, Fund I acquired a major open-air retail complex located in Wilmington, Delaware. The approximately 1.0 million square foot value-based retail complex consists of the following two properties:
Market Square Shopping Center - A 103,000 square foot community shopping center (including a 15,000 square foot outparcel building) which is 100% leased and anchored by a T.J. Maxx and a Trader Joes gourmet food market.
Brandywine Town Center - A two phase open-air value retail center. The first phase (Phase I) is approximately 450,000 square feet and 100% occupied, with tenants including Lowes, Bed Bath & Beyond, Regal Cinema, Michaels, Petsmart, Old Navy, Annie Sez, Thomasville Furniture and Dicks Sporting Goods. The second phase (Phase II) consists of approximately 420,000 square feet of existing space, of which Target occupies 138,000 square feet and Bombay occupies 9,000 square feet. The balance of Phase II is currently not occupied.
The initial investment for this portfolio was approximately $86.3 million, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. Fund I will also pay additional amounts for the current vacant space in Phase II when and if it is leased and occupied (the Earn-out). To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $30.3 million for Earn-out space.
During January of 2006, Fund I recapitalized this investment as further discussed in BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES in this Item 1 of this Form 10-K.

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

Ohio Portfolio
In September of 2002, Fund I acquired three supermarket-anchored shopping centers located in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio for a total purchase price of $26.7 million. Additional information on these properties is included in Item 2 of this Form 10-K.
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. During July 2005, we sold the Berlin Shopping Center for $4.0 million and in 2004, we disposed of the East End Centre, for $12.4 million.
During July 2005 we purchased 4343 Amboy Road (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 Waldbaums supermarket and a Duane Reade drug store, and is subject to a 23-year ground lease.

During January 2006, we closed on a 20,000 square foot retail building in the Lincoln Park district in Chicago (Clark/Diversey). The property was acquired from an affiliate of Klaff for $9.8 million. Tenants include Starbucks, Nine West, Vitamin Shoppe, The Body Shop, Papyrus and Cold Stone Creamery. Along with its strong location, the property has significant long-term growth potential.
Also during January 2006, we acquired a 60% interest in the A&P Shopping Plaza located in Boonton (Boonton), New Jersey. The property, which is 100% occupied and located in northeastern New Jersey, is a 63,000 square foot shopping center anchored by a 49,000 square foot A&P Supermarket. The remaining 40% interest is owned by a principal of P/A. The interest was acquired for $3.2 million.
PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2005, we did not undertake any significant redevelopment projects within our core portfolio.
During 2004, we completed the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center, located in Latham, New York. A new anchor, The Bon Ton Department Store, opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of this shopping center. Occupying 66,000 square feet formerly occupied by an Ames department store, Bon Ton is paying base rent at a 15% increase over that of Ames. During 2004, Marshalls, an existing tenant at the center, expanded its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. We also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center during 2004. This community shopping center is now 100% occupied. Costs incurred for this project totaled $418,000.
We also completed the redevelopment and re-anchoring of the Town Line Plaza, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut during 2004. The former building, occupied by GU Markets, was demolished and replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Costs to date for this project totaled $1.7 million.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET SEGMENTS
We have two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We evaluate property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain non-recurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with retail versus residential tenants. We do not have any foreign operations. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information on industry segments as required by Item 1.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES
Our executive offices are located at 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 260, White Plains, New York 10605, and our telephone number is (914) 288-8100. We have 158 employees, of which 94 are located at our executive office, 7 at the Pennsylvania regional office and the remaining property management personnel are located on-site at our properties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements. Refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in 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 tenants 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 tenants sales, at the affected property, which could adversely affect the future income from such property.
Tenants may seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of their leases and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available for distribution by us. Such reduction could be material if a major tenant files bankruptcy. See the discussion of bankruptcy risks under Risk Factors.
Limited control over joint venture investments
.
Our joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our joint venture partner might have different interests or goals than we do. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor a joint venture partner would have full control over the joint venture. Also, there is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures.
Through our investments in joint ventures we have also invested in operating businesses that have operational risk in addition to the risks associated with real estate investments, including among other risks, human capital issues, adequate supply of product and material, and merchandising issues,
During 2005, our investment in joint ventures provided Promote income. There can be no assurance that the joint ventures will continue to operate profitably and thus provide additional Promote income in the future.
Under the terms of our Fund II joint venture, we are required to first offer to Fund II all of our opportunities to acquire retail shopping centers. Only if (i) our joint venture partner elects not to approve Fund IIs pursuit of an acquisition opportunity; (ii) the ownership of the acquisition opportunity by Fund II would create a material conflict of interest for us; (iii) we require the acquisition opportunity for a like-kind exchange; or (iv) the consideration payable for the acquisition opportunity is our Common Shares, OP Units or other securities, may we pursue the opportunity directly. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive acquisitions directly and may only receive a minority interest in such acquisitions through Fund II.
We operate through a partnership structure, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our assets.
Our primary property-owning vehicle is the Operating Partnership, of which we are the general partner. Our acquisition of properties through the Operating Partnership in exchange for interests in the Operating Partnership may permit certain tax deferral advantages to limited partners who contribute properties to the Operating Partnership. Since properties contributed to the Operating Partnership may have unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to contribution, the sale of such properties could cause adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contributed such properties. Although we, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, generally have no obligation to consider the tax consequences of our actions to any limited partner, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership will not acquire properties in the future subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute such properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly reduced flexibility to manage our assets.

There are risks relating to investments in real estate.
Value of Real Estate is Dependent on Numerous Factors. 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. As substantially all 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 years 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 tenants final plan of reorganization and the availability of funds to pay its creditors.
Since January 1, 2003, there have been two significant tenant bankruptcies within our portfolio:
On May 30, 2003, The Penn Traffic Company (Penn Traffic) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Penn Traffic operates in one location in our wholly-owned portfolio in 52,000 square feet. Rental revenues from this tenant at this location were $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $0.5 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Penn Traffic also operated in a location occupying 55,000 square feet at a property in which we, through Fund I, hold a 22% ownership interest. Our pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $0, $22,000 and $147,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Penn Traffic continues to operate in our wholly-owned location and has assumed this lease. Penn Traffic rejected the lease at the joint venture location on February 20, 2004.
On January 14, 2004, KB Toys (KB) filed for protection under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. KB operated in five locations in our wholly-owned portfolio totaling approximately 41,000 square feet. Rental revenues from KB at these locations aggregated $0.3 million, $ 0.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. KB also operated in a location occupying 20,000 square feet at a property in which we hold a 22% ownership interest through Fund I. Our pro-rata share of rental revenues from the tenant at this location were $0, $37,000 and $87,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. KB rejected the lease at two of the locations and continues to operate in three of our wholly-owned locations but has neither assumed nor rejected these three leases. The tenant has rejected the lease at the Fund I property.
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 32% of the annual base rents within our wholly-owned portfolio. Our operating results could be adversely affected if market conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate, in this area becomes more competitive relative to other geographic areas.
Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid
.
Equity investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed conditions will be limited. Our board of trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently does not limit the number of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one geographic region. We could change our investment, disposition and financing policies without a vote of our shareholders.

Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on our share price.
One of the factors that may influence the trading price of our Common Shares is the annual dividend rate on our Common Shares as a percentage of its market price. An increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our Common Shares to seek a higher annual dividend rate, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise additional equity in the public markets.
We could become highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions
.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, indebtedness in furtherance of our activities. Neither our Declaration of Trust nor any policy statement formally adopted by our board of trustees limits either the total amount of indebtedness or the specified percentage of indebtedness that we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service requirements which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions.
Our loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require us to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios. In addition, as of December 31, 2005, loans secured by five of our properties, totaling $44.5 million, are subject to cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions and two loans, aggregating $29.1 million, are also subject to cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions.
Interest expense on our variable debt as of December 31, 2005 would increase by $0.2 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
Activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties
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 REITs, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, private companies and individuals. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties that we wish to purchase.
In addition, retailers at our properties face increasing competition from outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, internet commerce, direct mail and telemarketing, which could (i) reduce rents payable to us; (ii) reduce our ability to attract and retain tenants at our properties; and (iii) lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties.
We have pursued, and may in the future continue to pursue extensive growth opportunities which may result in significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources.
We have pursued extensive growth opportunities. This expansion has placed significant demands on our operational, administrative and financial resources. The continued growth of our real estate portfolio can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on its resources. Our future performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified management personnel to manage the growth and operations of our business and to finance such acquisitions. In addition, acquired properties may fail to operate at expected levels due to the numerous factors which 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 growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties, including acquisitions through co-investment programs such as joint ventures. In the context of our business plan, development generally means an expansion or renovation of an existing property. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of our extensive valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement our strategy because we may have difficulty finding new properties, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing.
Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations. Redevelopment is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction delays, cost overruns or force majeure that may increase project costs, new project commencement risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required governmental approvals and permits, and the incurrence of development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion.
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 REITs 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 in order 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 REITs 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 would not be eligible for reduced rates because a REITs 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 REITs by domestic noncorporate investors. This could adversely affect the market price of the Companys shares.
Concentration of ownership by certain investors.
Six shareholders own more than 5% individually, and 45.7% in the aggregate, of our Common Shares. A significant concentration of ownership may allow an investor to exert a greater influence over our management and affairs and may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us.
Restrictions on a potential change of control.
Our Board of Trustees is authorized by our Declaration of Trust to establish and issue one or more series of preferred shares without shareholder approval. We have not established any series of preferred shares, however, the establishment and issuance of a series of preferred shares could make more difficult a change of control of us that could be in the best interest of the shareholders.
In addition, we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and severance agreements are in place with our senior vice presidents which provide that, upon the occurrence of a change in control of us, those executive officers would be entitled to certain termination or severance payments made by us (which may include a lump sum payment equal to defined percentages of annual salary and prior years average bonuses, paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreement), which could deter a change of control of us that could be in our best interest.
The loss of a key executive officer could have an adverse effect on us.
Our success depends on the contribution of key management members. The loss of the services of Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, or other key executive-level employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Although we have entered into an employment agreement with our President, Kenneth F. Bernstein, the loss of his services could have an adverse effect on our operations.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
SHOPPING CENTER PROPERTIES
The discussion and tables in Item 2 include properties held through joint ventures in which we own a partial interest (Joint Venture Portfolio). Except where noted, it does not include our partial interest in 25 anchor-only leases with Kroger and Safeway supermarkets as previously discussed in PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in Item 1 of this Form 10-K , as the majority of these properties are free-standing and all are triple-net leases.
As of December 31, 2005, we owned and operated 46 shopping centers as part of our wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio, which included a mixed-use property (retail and residential), ten properties under redevelopment and one property under development. Our shopping centers, which total approximately 7.7 million square feet of gross leaseable area (GLA), are located in 15 states and are generally well-established, anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. The operating properties are diverse in size, ranging from approximately 17,000 to 775,000 square feet with an average size of 199,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2005, our wholly-owned portfolio and the Joint Venture Portfolio (excluding properties under redevelopment) were 94.3% and 96.8% occupied, respectively. Our shopping centers are typically anchored by supermarkets or value-oriented retail.
We had approximately 671 leases as of December 31, 2005. Greater than 50% of our rental revenues were from national tenants. A majority of the income from the properties consists of rent received under long-term leases. Most of these leases provide for the payment of fixed minimum rent monthly in advance and for the payment by tenants of a pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the shopping centers. Minimum rents and expense reimbursements accounted for approximately 80% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005.
As of December 31, 2005, approximately 45% 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 tenants gross sales in excess of a stipulated annual amount. Percentage rents accounted for approximately 1% of the total 2005 revenues of the Company.

Five 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 four locations and are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the building and improvements at all five locations.
No individual property contributed in excess of 10% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Reference is made to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on form 10-K for information on the mortgage debt pertaining to our properties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in other various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business.

At March 15, 2006, there were 349 holders of record of the Companys Common Shares.
(b) Dividends
We have determined that for 2005, 95% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders represented ordinary income, 3% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain and 2% represented nontaxable return of capital. Our cash flow is affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, our operating expenses, the interest expense on its borrowings, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated capital expenditures. Future dividends paid by us will be at the discretion of the Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flows, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustees deem relevant.

(c) Issuer purchases of equity securities
We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. Through March 15, 2006, we had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million of which 2.0 million of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
(d) Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

Notes:
(1)
For 2001, the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis is not presented as the inclusion of additional shares was anti-dilutive.
(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 Companys method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Companys performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Funds from Operations for the reconciliation of net income to FFO.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements (including the related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by use of the words may, will, should, expect, anticipate, estimate, believe, intend or project or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to those set forth under the heading Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein.
OVERVIEW
We currently operate 71 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, consisting of 69 neighborhood and community shopping centers and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. We receive income primarily from the rental revenue from our properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.
We focus on three primary areas in executing our business plan as follows:
Focus on maximizing the return on our existing portfolio through leasing and property redevelopment activities. Our redevelopment program is a significant and ongoing component of managing our existing portfolio and focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment.
Pursue above-average returns through a disciplined and opportunistic acquisition program. The primary conduits for our acquisition program are through our existing acquisition joint venture, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (Fund II), as well as the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (RCP Venture) established to invest in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers and the New York Urban Infill Redevelopment initiative which focuses on investing in redevelopment projects in urban, dense areas where retail tenant demand has effectively surpassed the supply of available sites.
Maintain a strong balance sheet, which provides us with the financial flexibility to fund both property redevelopment and acquisition opportunities.

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to additional rents following the purchase of Amboy Road shopping center in July 2005, re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the portfolio.
Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of general increases in real estate taxes as well as re-tenanting activities throughout the portfolio. CAM expense reimbursements increased $0.5 million as a result of increased tenant reimbursements of higher snow removal costs in 2005.
Management fee income increased as a result of additional leasing fees from Fund I of $0.9 million, increased asset management fees of $2.2 million from Fund II (which was formed in June 2004), a $2.6 million increase in management fees related to the acquisition of certain management contract rights in January 2004 and February 2005 and promote income on the Mervyns investment in 2005 of $1.0 million.
The increase in interest income was a combination of additional interest income on our advances and notes receivable originated in 2004 and 2005 and additional interest income earned following our preferred equity investment in Levitz in 2005.

The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily a result of the recovery of $0.5 million in 2005 related to the settlement of our insurance claim in connection with the flood damage incurred at Mark Plaza. A non-recurring charge of approximately $0.7 million related to this flood damage was recorded in 2004. This decrease was partially offset by higher snow removal costs in 2005.
Real estate taxes increased as a result of general increases in real estate taxes experienced across the portfolio.
The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to increased compensation expense and other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure related to increased investment activity in fund assets and asset management services.
Depreciation expense increased $0.3 million in 2005 which was primarily attributable to increased depreciation expense related to capitalized tenant installation costs in 2004 and 2005. Amortization expense increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of the write-off of certain Klaff management contracts following the disposition of these assets.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships increased primarily as a result of our $5.0 million share of gain, through our investment funds, from the sale of certain Mervyns locations and our share of bankruptcy proceeds from Penn Traffic through Fund I of $0.2 million.
The increase in interest expense was attributable to higher average outstanding balances in 2005 of $0.8 million and higher average interest rates on the portfolio mortgage debt in 2005.
The gain on sale of land in 2004 was related to a prior year sale of a contract to purchase land to the Target Corporation. We received additional sales proceeds of $0.9 million which were being held in escrow pending the completion of certain site work by the buyer. Of these proceeds, $0.5 million were distributed to our joint venture partner in the sale and are a component of minority interest in the accompanying financial statements.
Income taxes in 2005 relate to our share of the income taxes on gain, through our investment funds, from the sale of certain Mervyns locations during the third and fourth quarters of 2005.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations represents activity related to properties sold during 2004 and 2005.

The increase in minimum rents was attributable to an increase in rents following the redevelopment of the Gateway shopping center in 2003 and an increase in rents from re-tenanting activities as well as increased occupancy across the portfolio.
Real estate tax reimbursements increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of general increases in real estate taxes as well as re-tenanting activities throughout the portfolio. CAM expense reimbursements decreased $0.3 million primarily from tenant reimbursements of lower snow removal costs in 2004 offset by increased tenant reimbursements following re-tenanting activities across the portfolio.
Management fee income increased as a result of asset management fees from Fund II of $1.7 million and an increase in management fees $0.9 million related to the acquisition of certain management contract rights in 2004.
Other income decreased primarily due to a lump sum additional rent payment of $1.2 million received from a former tenant during 2003 in connection with the re-anchoring of the Branch Plaza.

Property operating expenses increased primarily due to the result of a non-recurring charge of approximately $0.7 million related to flood damage at the Mark Plaza in 2004 offset by higher snow removal costs during 2003.
Real estate taxes increased primarily due to a real estate tax refund received in 2003 related to the appeal of taxes paid in prior years at the Greenridge Plaza and higher real estate taxes throughout the portfolio in 2004.
General and administrative expense decreased primarily as the result of certain employee termination costs in 2003 and our capitalization of certain internal leasing costs in 2004 offset by additional professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in 2004.
Depreciation expense decreased $2.5 million. This was a result of the write-off of $2.7 million of unamortized tenant improvement costs related to the buyout and termination of the former anchor at the Town Line Plaza redevelopment project in 2003. This decrease was offset by increased depreciation expense in 2004 following the Gateway redevelopment project being placed in service during the second quarter of 2003. Amortization expense increased $0.8 million primarily as a result of the amortization of investment in management contracts in 2004.

Funds from Operations
We consider funds from operations (FFO) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The reconciliations of net income to FFO for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
USES OF LIQUIDITY
Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be for distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, debt service and loan repayments, and property investment which include the funding of our joint venture commitments, acquisition, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting activities.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the first three quarters during 2005, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.1725 per Common Share and Common OP Unit. In November of 2005, our Board of Trustees approved and declared a 7.2% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.1850 per Common Share and Common OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2005 which was paid January 13, 2006.
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, LP (Fund I)
In September 2001, we committed $20.0 million to a newly formed joint venture with four of our institutional shareholders, who committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring a total of approximately $300.0 million of community and neighborhood shopping centers on a leveraged basis. As of December 31, 2005, we have contributed $19.2 million to Fund I.
We are the manager and general partner of Fund I with a 22% interest. In addition to a pro-rata return on our invested equity, we are entitled to a profit participation based upon certain investment return thresholds. Cash flow is to be distributed pro-rata to the partners (including us) until they have received a 9% cumulative return on, and a return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 80% to the partners (including us) and 20% to us. We also earn a fee for asset management services equal to 1.5% of the allocated equity in the remaining Fund I assets, as well as market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services.
30
Back to Contents
As of December 31, 2005, Fund I has purchased a total of 35 properties totaling 2.8 million square feet as further discussed in PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (Fund II)
On June 15, 2004, we closed our second acquisition fund, Fund II, which includes all of the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors. With $300 million of committed discretionary capital, Fund II expects to be able to acquire up to $900 million of real estate assets on a leveraged basis. We are the managing member with a 20% interest in the joint venture. The terms and structure of Fund II are substantially the same as Fund I with the exceptions that the preferred return is 8% and the asset management fee is calculated on committed equity of $250 million through June 15, 2005 and then on the total committed equity of $300 million thereafter. As of December 31, 2005, we have contributed $67.0 million to Fund II.
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 .
Other Investments
During 2004 and 2005, we made the following other investments as further discussed in PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS in Item 1 of this Form 10-K:
i) $20.0 million in Levitz SL,
ii) $16.8 million in Amboy Road,
iii) $8.0 million for Klaffs management rights,
iv) $3.2 million for Boonton and
v) $9.8 million for Clark/Diversey.
Property Development, Redevelopment and Expansion
During 2005, we completed the development of the Bartow Avenue Center, located in Bronx, New York. A new anchor, Sleepys, opened for business during the second quarter. This store occupies 6,430 square feet of formerly vacant space. Costs incurred to date for this project totaled $7.5 million.
Our redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2005, we did not undertake any significant redevelopment projects within our core portfolio.
Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2006, we currently estimate that capital outlays of approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements.
Share Repurchase
Repurchases of our Common Shares is an additional use of liquidity as discussed in Item 5 of this Form 10-K.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
We intend on using Fund II as the primary vehicle for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Sources of capital for funding our joint venture commitments, other property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting, as well as future repurchases of Common Shares are expected to be obtained primarily from issuance of public equity or debt instruments, cash on hand, additional debt financings and future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2005, we had a total of approximately $48.4 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities, cash and cash equivalents on hand of $39.6 million, and 9 properties that are unencumbered and available as potential collateral for future borrowings. We anticipate that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all of our debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Issuance of Equity
During November 2004, we issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the Offering). The Offering was made under shelf registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and previously declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The $28.3 million in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Following this transaction, we have $46.7 million of remaining capacity to issue equity under our primary shelf registration statement.

Financing and Debt
At December 31, 2005, mortgage notes payable aggregated $238.4 million and were collateralized by 20 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 5.0% to 7.6% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to November 2015. Taking into consideration $92.4 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $216.8 million of the portfolio, or 91%, was fixed at a 5.8% weighted average interest rate and $21.6 million, or 9% was floating at a 5.8% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, $17.5 million is scheduled to mature at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9%. As we do not anticipate having sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we will need to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2004:
On February 25, 2005, we drew down $20.0 million under an existing revolving facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The proceeds from this drawdown were utilized for the Preferred Equity investment with Levitz SL, LLC.
During April 2005, we borrowed $7.4 million under an existing secured revolving facility which was repaid in May 2005.
On May 26, 2005, we closed on a $65.0 million cross-collateralized revolving facility which is collateralized by five of our properties. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis points and matures June 1, 2010. At closing, the lender advanced $12.0 million, of which $7.4 million was used to refinance an existing facility with the same lender. On June 27, 2005, an additional $20.0 million was drawn on this line. On October 21, 2005, $10.0 million was repaid on this line resulting in $22.0 million outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2005.
On August 31, 2005, we closed on a $17.6 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.98%. This loan, which matures September 2015, requires the payment of interest only until October 2010, and thereafter interest and principal based on 30 year amortization. The proceeds from this loan were in part used to pay down $15.0 million on an existing line.
On October 17, 2005, we closed on a $12.5 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.12%. This loan, which matures November 2015, requires the payment of interest only until November 2008, and thereafter interest and principal until maturity. The proceeds from this loan were in part used to pay down $10.0 million on the aforementioned $65.0 million revolving facility.
On December 9, 2005, we closed on a $34.6 million loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.53%. This loan, which matures January 2016, requires the payment of interest only until January 2010, and thereafter interest and principal until maturity.
Asset Sales
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. During 2005 and 2004, we sold the Berlin Shopping Center and East End Centre as discussed in ASSET SALES AND CAPITAL/ASSET RECYCLING in Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2005, maturities on our mortgage notes ranged from July 2007 to January 2016. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases at four of our shopping centers. We also lease space for our White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. The following table summarizes our debt maturities and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases of December 31, 2005:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have investments in three joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties as follows:
We own a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (Crossroads). We account for the investment in Crossroads using the equity method of accounting as we have a non-controlling investment in Crossroads, but exercise significant influence. As such, our financial statements reflect our share of income from, but not the assets and liabilities of, Crossroads. Our pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of December 31, 2005 was $31.4 million. This fixed-rate debt bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014.
Reference is made to the discussion of Funds I and II under Uses of Liquidity in this Item 7 for additional detail related to our investment in and commitments to Funds I and II. As of December 31, 2005, we own a 22% interest in Fund I and 20% in Fund II for which we also use the equity method of accounting. Our pro rata share of Funds I and II fixed-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2005 was $24.4 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%. Our pro rata share of Funds I and II variable-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2005 was $14.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. Maturities on these loans range from March 2006 to January 2023.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following discussion of historical cash flow compares our cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005) with our cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004).
Cash and cash equivalents were $39.6 million and $13.5 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase of $26.1 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:

The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from an increase of $2.4 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2005, which was primarily due to an increase in asset management and service fee income from our fund investments, additional fee income from the acquisition of certain management contracts rights in January 2004 and February 2005, promote income on the Mervyns investment in 2005, and additional interest income resulting from our preferred equity investment in 2005 and a decrease in distributions received from unconsolidated partnerships. These increases were offset by additional general and administrative costs due to increased compensation and other overhead expenses following the expansion of our infrastructure. In addition, a net decrease in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $3.9 million resulted primarily from an increase in receivables related to third party construction cost reimbursements offset by an increase in income taxes payable related to the Companys share of the gain realized by Mervyns.
The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from a $19.0 million Preferred Equity investment in 2005, an $18.5 million increase in expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installation during 2005 and a decrease of $16.8 million of distributions received from unconsolidated partnerships. These decreases were offset by a $3.7 million decrease in investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships in 2005 and $3.9 million of proceeds received from the sale of a property in 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by us in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, we review the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. We record impairment losses and reduce the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where we do not expect to recover our carrying costs on properties held for use, we reduce our carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, we reduce our carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. 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, 2005 or 2004.
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, 2005, we had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.8 million. If the financial condition of our tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
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, 2005, we had total mortgage debt of $238.4 million of which $216.8 million, or 91% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $21.6 million, or 9%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2005, we were a party to five interest rate swap transactions to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $92.4 million of LIBOR based variable-rate debt. We also have three forward-starting interest rate swaps which commence during 2006, and 2007 and mature from 2010 to 2012 that will hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $24.5 million of refinanced LIBOR-based variable rate debt with the matching maturities.

Of our total outstanding debt, $12.5 million will become due in 2007. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on our variable debt as of December 31, 2005 would not increase materially as we only have $21.6 million of floating rate debt after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps hedging $92.4 million of notional principal. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The financial statements and supplementary data listed in items 15(a) (1) and 15(a) (2) hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On October 6, 2005, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors agreed, by resolution, not to continue the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst and Young, LLP (Ernst and Young). The Audit committee further resolved to engage the accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP (BDO) effective immediately. The decision was based primarily on the Audit Committees efforts to reduce our costs for accounting services. We have not had any disagreements with Ernst and Young during the interim period from January 1, 2005 through the date of disengagement, nor any disagreements related to any prior years audits.

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 the our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2005.
(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
(a) Managements 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, 2005 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 ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework,
our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2005.
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 managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 which appears in this item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys 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 companys 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 companys 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, managements assessment that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, 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, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated March 8, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
BDO Seidman, LLP
New York, New York
March 8, 2006
(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, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (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.
All of the Companys assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the Operating Partnership) and its majority owned partnerships. As of December 31, 2005, the Company controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Company 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 partnerships 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 Company (Common Shares). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or UPREIT.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company operated 71 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, principally located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its majority owned partnerships, including the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in partnerships 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 Companys share of the earnings (or loss) of these partnerships are included in consolidated net income.
Variable interest entities within the scope of Financial Accounting Statements Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46-R) are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a variable interest entity and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
Use of Estimates
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) require the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of trade accounts receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant shopping center expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings and the shorter of the useful life or lease term for improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as above and below market leases and acquired in-place leases and customer relationships) and acquired liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and allocates purchase price based on these assessments. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event, or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2005, an impairment loss of $770 was recognized related to a property that was sold in July of 2005. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2005.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related debt obligation.
Management Contracts
Income from management contracts, net of submanagement fees of $303 and $1,591 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition cost of the management contracts is being amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $6,988 and $6,506, respectively. Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. Percentage rents are recognized in the period when the tenants sales breakpoint is met. In addition, leases typically provide for the reimbursement to the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. These reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
The Company makes estimates of the uncollectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Once the amount is ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, it is written off. Rents receivable at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,843 and $2,841, respectively.
Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual terms of the notes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash in Escrow
Restricted cash and cash in escrow consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.

Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). To maintain REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as well as comply with certain other requirements as defined by the Code. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year.
Although it may qualify for REIT status for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Companys taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS) are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
TRS income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as required SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRS assets and liabilities.
Stock-based Compensation
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Effective June 30, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. As such, all stock options granted after December 31, 2001 are reflected as compensation expense in the Companys consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted. As provided for in SFAS No. 123, the Company elected the prospective method for the adoption of the fair value basis method of accounting for employee stock options. Under this method, the recognition provisions have been applied to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for vested stock options granted prior to January 1, 2002. See Note 11 Share Incentive Plan for the assumptions utilized in valuing the below vested stock options:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 on its effective date did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3
.
SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior periods financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle and corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus that the general partners in a limited partnership should determine whether they control a limited partnership based on the application of the framework as discussed in EITF 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. Under EITF 04-5, the general partners in a limited partnership are presumed to control that limited partnership regardless of the extent of the general partners ownership interest in the limited partnership. The assessment of whether the rights of the limited partners should overcome the presumption of control by the general partners is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances. If the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights, the general partners do not control the limited partnership. EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for new partnerships formed and existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified on or after June 29, 2005, and, for all other partnerships, EITF 04-5 would be effective no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The provisions of EITF 04-5 may be initially applied through either one of two methods: (1) similar to a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle or (2) retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 04-5 as it relates to the method of accounting utilized for its investments in Funds I and II (note 4), which are currently accounted for under the equity method of accounting. There would be no impact on net income or shareholders equity for any of the reported periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements if the Company were to consolidate these investments. If the Company was required to consolidate these investments, total assets, total liabilities and minority interest as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 would be as follows:

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 14
. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of SFAS No. 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. This Statement (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and (e) amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties and Discontinued Operations
A. Acquisitions and Dispositions of Properties
Currently the primary vehicle for the Companys acquisitions is through its acquisition joint ventures (Note 4).
Dispositions relate to the sale of shopping centers and land. Gains from these sales are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.
Acquisitions
During July of 2005, the Company purchased 4343 Amboy Road located in Staten Island, New York for $16,635 in cash and $200 in Common OP Units.
Dispositions
On July 7, 2005, the Company sold the Berlin Shopping Center for $4,000. An impairment loss of $770 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2005, to reduce the carrying value of this asset to fair value less costs to sell.
On November 22, 2004, the company disposed of the East End Centre, a 308,000 square foot shopping center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for approximately $12,405 resulting in a $6,696 gain on the sale.
On November 8, 2002, the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner completed the sale of a contract to purchase land in Bethel, Connecticut, to the Target Corporation for $1,540 after closing and other related costs. The joint venture received a $1,632 note receivable for the net purchase price and additional reimbursements due from the buyer and deferred recognition of the gain on sale in accordance with SFAS No. 66. The note was paid in full on January 10, 2003, and as such, the Companys share of the deferred gain, or $634, was recognized in 2003. Additional amounts held in escrow from the closing of $932 were released to the Company during 2004 and recognized as additional gain. Of this amount, $466 was attributable to the Companys joint venture partner and reflected in minority interest in the Companys consolidated statement of income.

B. Discontinued Operations
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 reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which became held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2001, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.
The combined results of operations of either sold properties or properties held for sale are reported separately as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. These are related to the Berlin Shopping Center, which was sold on July 7, 2005 and the East End Centre, which was sold on November 22, 2004.

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 (does not include unconsolidated partnerships):

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Partnerships, continued
As of December 31, 2005, Fund I owns or has an ownership interest in ten shopping centers and twenty-five anchor-only super market leases comprising 2.7 million square feet. Acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2003 were as follows:
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with the Companys long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (Hendon), purchased a $9,600 first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5,500. The loan, which was secured by the Hitchcock Plaza in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property. The Company provided $3,150 of mortgage financing to the project in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to this loan, the Company invested approximately $900, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1,500. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, the Company provided an additional $750 mortgage loan to the project with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
During May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in Haygood Shopping Center and Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3,184. These assets are part of the portfolio that the Company currently manages as a result of its January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts (note 7).
During May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for approximately $5,300. Related to this acquisition, the Company loaned $2,000 to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matured May 2005. This loan has been converted to a demand note.
During January 2003, Fund I and an unaffiliated joint venture party acquired a one million square foot supermarket portfolio consisting of twenty-five anchor-only leases with either Kroger or Safeway supermarkets (Kroger/Safeway Portfolio). The portfolio was acquired through 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 purchase price of $48,900 (inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs) included the assumption of $34,450 of existing fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted-average rate of 6.6%. The mortgage debt fully amortizes through 2009, which is coterminous with the primary lease term of the supermarket leases. Fund I invested $11,250 of the equity capitalization of which the Companys share was $2,500.
Also during January 2003, Fund I acquired a one million square foot portfolio for an initial purchase price of $86,287, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. The portfolio consists of two shopping centers located in Wilmington, Delaware (Brandywine Portfolio). A portion of one of the properties is currently unoccupied, which Fund I will pay for on an earn-out basis only when it is leased. To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $30,302 for Earn-out space. At closing, Fund I assumed $38,082 of fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted-average rate of 6.2% as well as obtained an additional fixed-rate loan of $30,000 which bears interest at 4.7%. Fund I invested equity of $19,270 in the acquisition, of which the Companys share was $4,282. On January 4, 2006, the Company recapitalized the Brandywine Portfolio (note 21).

Preferred Equity Investment
In March of 2005, the Company invested $20,000 in a preferred equity position (Preferred Equity) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (Levitz SL), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the Properties), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff Realty L.P. (Klaff) is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2,000 per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period. In October 2005, Levitz Furniture filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. The Company has a preferred equity investment of $19,000 at December 31, 2005. Levitz was in arrears in minimum return of capital by $0.5 million. This investment was not made based on Levitz remaining as a tenant, but rather based on the underlying value of the real estate, which management believes is sufficient to recover our equity investment and the return attributable thereto. Accordingly, no reserve is required at December 31, 2005.

7. Shareholders Equity and Minority Interests
Common Shares
In March of 2004, a secondary public offering was completed for a total of 5,750,000 Common Shares. The selling shareholders, Yale University and its affiliates (Yale) and Ross Dworman, a former trustee, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. The Company did not sell any Common Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.
During November 2004, the Company issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the Offering). The $28,312 in proceeds from the Offering, net of related costs, was used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets. Yale and Kenneth F. Bernstein, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, also sold 1,000,000, and 110,000 Common Shares, respectively, in connection with this transaction. Mr. Bernstein sold 110,000 Common Shares in connection with his exercise of options to purchase 150,000 Common Shares.
In October 2005, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which at the time owned approximately 3.8% of the Companys outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases. This waiver of the Companys share ownership limitation permitted this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 6% of the Companys shares through December 31, 2005, or an aggregate of up to 9.8% of the Companys Common Shares.
Through December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased 2,051,605 Common Shares at a total cost of $11,650 (of which 2,009,509 of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued) under its share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $20,000 of its outstanding Common Shares. The repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction of par value and additional paid-in capital.
Minority Interests
Minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents (i) the limited partners interest of 653,360 and 392,255 Common OP Units at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, (ii) 884 and 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, with a nominal value of $1,000 per unit, which are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (a) $22.50 per unit (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (b) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit, and (iii) 4,000 Series B Preferred OP Units at both December 31, 2005 and 2004 with a nominal value of $1,000 per unit, which are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (a) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per unit or (b) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. Minority interests in majority-owned partnerships represent third-party interests in three partnerships in which the Company has a majority ownership position.
During July 2005, the Company issued to a third party 11,105 Restricted Common OP Units valued at $18.01 per unit in connection with the purchase of 4343 Amboy Road. The holder of the Common OP Units was restricted from selling these for six months from the date of the transaction.

Shareholders Equity and Minority Interests, continued
In February 2005, the Company issued $4,000 (250,000 Restricted Common OP Units valued at $16.00 each) of Restricted Common OP Units to Klaff in consideration for the 25% balance of certain management contract rights as well as the rights to 25% of certain potential future revenue streams. This followed the acquisition of 75% of the management contract rights and 75% of certain potential future revenue streams from Klaff in January 2004 as reflected below. The Restricted Common OP Units are convertible into the Companys Common Shares on a one-for-one basis after a five-year lock-up period. $1,116 of the purchase price was allocated to investment in management contracts in the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the estimated remaining life of the contracts. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to deferred charges in the consolidated balance sheet and will be allocated to future revenue streams as identified.
During 2005 and 2004, various limited partners converted a total of 746,762 and 2,058,804 Common OP Units into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Mr. Dworman, a trustee of the Company, received 34,841 of Common OP Units through various affiliated entities during 2003 (Note 8).
The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued on November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center. Certain Series A Preferred OP Unit holders converted 696 Series A Preferred OP Units into 92,800 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares during 2005. The Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. After the seventh anniversary following their issuance, either the Company or the holders can call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.
The Series B Preferred OP Units were issued to Klaff Realty LP (Klaff) in January 2004 in consideration for the acquisition of certain management contract rights. The Preferred OP Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. Additionally, Klaff may redeem them at par for either cash or Common OP Units after the earlier of the third anniversary of their issuance, or the occurrence of certain events including a change in the control of the Company. Finally, after the fifth anniversary of the issuance, the Company may redeem the Preferred OP Units and convert them into Common OP Units at market value as of the redemption date.
8. Related Party Transactions
In February 2005, the Company issued $4,000 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 7).
In March 2005, the Company completed a $20,000 Preferred Equity Investment with Levitz SL, of which Klaff, a common and preferred OP unit holder, is the managing member.
The Company earns certain management and service fees in connection with its investment in Fund I and Fund II (Note 4). Such fees earned by the Company aggregated $7,890, $3,504 and $1,689 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company also earns fees in connection with its rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests in which Klaff, a preferred OP unit holder, has an interest. Net fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $3,602 and $885 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts are net of the payment of sub-management fees to Klaff of $303 and $1,591 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Company managed one property in which a major shareholder of the Company had an ownership interest and earned a management fee of 3% of tenant collections. Management fees earned by the Company under this contract aggregated $142 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company earned leasing commission of $157 related to this property for the year ended December 31, 2004. In connection with the sale of the property on July 12, 2004, the management contract was terminated and the Company earned a $75 disposition fee.
Lee Wielansky, the Lead Trustee of the Company, was paid a consulting fee of $100 for both years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

9. Tenant Leases
Space in the shopping centers and other retail properties is leased to various tenants under operating leases that usually grant tenants renewal options and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants sales volume.

Minimum future rentals above include a total of $4,180 for three tenants (with four leases), which have filed for bankruptcy protection. None of these leases have been rejected nor affirmed. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues.
10. Lease Obligations
The Company leases land at five of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $796, $791 and $780 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The leases terminate during during 2008 to 2066.

11. Share Incentive Plan
During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the 1999 Plan), which replaced both the 1994 Share Option Plan and the 1994 Non-Employee Trustees Share Option Plan. The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 8% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 Plan. Options are granted by the Share Option Plan Committee (the Committee), which currently consists of two non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee with the exception of options granted to non-employee Trustees, which vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant.

Share Incentive Plan, continued
The 1999 Plan also provides for the granting of share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units/shares. Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common Shares, at the discretion of the committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the Grant Date. The Committee will determine the award and restrictions placed on restricted shares, including the dividends thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2005, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares have been awarded.
During 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the 2003 Plan) because no Common Shares remained available for future grants under the 1999 Plan. The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units (collectively, Awards) to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company. The 2003 Plan is generally identical to the 1999 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2003 Plan is four percent of the Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards. Pursuant to the 2003 Plan, non-employee Trustees receive an automatic grant of 3,000 options following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company has 437,242 options outstanding to officers and employees. These fully vested options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and vested in three equal annual installments which began on the grant date. In addition, 40,000 options have been issued to non-employee Trustees of which 13,400 options were vested as of December 31, 2005.
During 2005, the Company issued a total of 109,826 restricted Common Shares (Restricted Shares) to executive officers (Officers) and 23,642 Restricted Shares (net of subsequent forfeitures) to certain employees (Employees) of the Company. In general, the Restricted Shares carry all the rights of Common Shares including voting and dividend rights, but may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the Recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to Officers, which is subject to the recipients continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is ratably over four years commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and each of the next three anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 50% of these Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Companys Common Shares. Vesting with respect to the Restricted Shares issued to Employees, which is subject to the Recipients continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is ratably over five years commencing on the Grant Date and each of the next four anniversaries thereafter. In addition, vesting on 25% of these Restricted Shares is also subject to certain total shareholder returns on the Companys Common Shares.
The total value of the above Restricted Share awards on the date of grant was $2,179 which will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, 126,853 Restricted Shares (net of forfeitures) were issued pursuant to the 2003 Plan. The total value of the Restricted Share awards on the date of grant was $1,586 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period. No awards of share appreciation rights or performance units/shares were granted for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, $1,029, $764 and $410, respectively, were recognized in compensation expense related to Restricted Share grants. Unearned compensation of $3,541 as of December 31, 2005 will be recognized in expense as such shares vest.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, stock based compensation awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted.

Share Incentive Plan, continued
The Company has used the Binomial method for 2005 and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in previous years for purposes of estimating the fair value in determining compensation expense for options granted for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The Company has also used this model for the pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by SFAS No. 123 for options issued for the year ended December 31, 2001 as if the Company had also accounted for these employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for the options issued by the Company was estimated at the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions resulting in:

As of December 31, 2005 the outstanding options had a weighted average exercise price of $8.08 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 5.1 years.
12. Employee Stock Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
In 2003, the Company adopted the Acadia Realty Trust Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan), which allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Companys 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 participants 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 2005, 2004 and 2003, 6,412, 6,397 and 810 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan and the associated compensation expense was $16, $15 and $1 respectively.
In August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election pursuant to the 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (Share Units) that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise of certain options. The payment of the option exercise price was made by tendering Common Shares that the participants owned for at least six months prior to the option exercise date. The Share Units are equivalent to a Common Share on a one-for-one basis and carry a dividend equivalent right equal to the dividend rate for the Companys 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 2005 there were no additional Shared Units contributed to the plan.

13. Employee 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participants contribution up to 6% of the employees annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $14 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company contributed $128, $109, and $110 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
14. Dividends and Distributions Payable
On November 8, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 of $0.185 per Common Share. The dividend was paid on January 13, 2006 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2005.
15. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and intends at all times to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 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 Companys TRSs are subject to Federal, state and local income taxes.
The primary difference between the GAAP and tax reported amounts of the Companys 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 .

16. 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 Companys assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Notes Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to Related Parties and Other Liabilities. The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.
Derivative Instruments The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.
Mortgage Notes Payable As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable are $235,297 and $153,612, 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, 2005, the derivative instruments were reported at fair value as reflected above. The interest rate swap receivable is included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2004, the derivative instruments were reported at fair value as a derivative instrument liability of $2,136. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, unrealized losses totaling $12 and $3,219, respectively, represented the fair value of the aforementioned derivatives, of which $12 and $3,180, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and $0 and $39, respectively, as a reduction of minority interest in the Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded in interest expense an unrealized loss of $37 and unrealized gain of $51, respectively, due to partial ineffectiveness on one of the swaps which was terminated in November 2004. The ineffectiveness resulted from differences between the derivative notional and the principal amount of the hedged variable rate debt.
The Companys interest rate hedges are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on mortgage debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, such as those held by the Company, as well as interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or earnings depending on the type of hedging relationship. For cash flow hedges, offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification occurs over the same time period in which the hedged items affect earnings.

17. 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:

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested restricted shares (Note 11) and Share Units (Note 12) 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.

19. 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 I assessment is so recommended, a Phase II assessment was conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that they believe would have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company accrued a reserve for $730 related to flood damage incurred at one of its properties. Under the terms of the Companys insurance policy, a maximum deductible of approximately $730 would apply in the event the flood damage was the direct result of a named storm. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company reduced the reserve by $480 due to the settlement of the insurance claim.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Companys management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Companys resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
