1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the "Trust") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States.

All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2015, the Trust controlled approximately 95% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest ("Common OP Units" or "Preferred OP Units") and employees who have been awarded restricted OP units ("LTIP Units") as long-term incentive compensation (Note 12). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust ("Common Shares").

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has ownership interests in 89 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either wholly owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds (the "Core Portfolio"). The Company also has ownership interests in 56 properties within its four opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("Fund I"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC ("Fund II"), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC ("Fund III") and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC ("Fund IV" and together with Funds I, II and III, the "Funds"). The 145 Core Portfolio and Fund properties consist of commercial properties, which are primarily high-quality urban and/or street retail properties, community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with a retail component. Fund I and Fund II also include investments in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC ("Mervyns I"), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC ("Mervyns II") and, in certain instances, directly through Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property Initiative ("RCP Venture").

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

Following is a table summarizing the general terms and the Operating Partnership's equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns I and II:



Entity	Formation Date	Operating Partnership Share of Capital		Committed Capital (2)		Capital Called as of March 31, 2015 (3)		Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership		Preferred Return		Total Distributions as of March 31, 2015 (3)
Fund I and Mervyns I (1)	9/2001	22.22	%	$	90.0	$	86.6	37.78	%	9	%	$	192.3
Fund II and Mervyns II (2)	6/2004	20.00	%	300.0		300.0		20.00	%	8	%	131.6
Fund III	5/2007	19.90	%	475.0		381.6		19.90	%	6	%	403.1

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Notes:

(1) Fund I and Mervyns I have returned all capital and preferred return. The Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all future cash distributions.

(2) During 2013, a distribution of $47.1 million was made to the Fund II investors, including the Operating Partnership. This amount is subject to recontribution to Fund II until December 2016, if needed to fund the on-going development and construction of existing projects.

(3) Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests' shares.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in entities in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have financial or operating control are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings (or losses) of entities accounted for under the equity method are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise any influence are accounted for under the cost method.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2015.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Real Estate

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held-for-sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to dispose. Management does not believe that the carrying values of any of its properties are impaired as of March 31, 2015.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." ASU 2015-03 modifies the treatment of debt issuance costs from a deferred charge to a deduction of the carrying value of the financial liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted and retrospective application. ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

During February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE’s"), (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and (iii) affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIE’s, particularly those with fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

During January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items." ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are either unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence remain and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At March 31, 2015, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 12) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.

Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit ("Restricted Share Units") and share option awards issued under the Company's Share Incentive Plans (Note 12). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated:

3.	SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 0.6 million Common Shares under its at-the-market ("ATM") equity program, generating gross proceeds of $19.8 million and net proceeds of $19.5 million.

The net proceeds from the Company's ATM equity programs have been, and are anticipated to be, used by the Company primarily to fund Core Portfolio acquisitions, its capital contributions to the Funds and for general corporate purposes.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity in entities consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements that the Company does not own. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity, separately from shareholders' equity, and include third party interests in the Company’s Funds and other entities. It also includes interests in the Operating Partnership which represent (i) the limited partners’ 2,975,277 and 2,988,277 Common OP Units at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014; (ii) 188 Series A Preferred OP Units at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014; and (iii) 937,651 and 675,367 LTIP Units at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

5. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads"), a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio") and a 22.22% interest in an approximately 20,000 square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center") and a 88.43% tenancy in common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois. As our unaffiliated partners in these investments maintain operating control, these are accounted for under the equity method.

Funds

RCP Venture

The Funds, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the "Acadia Investors"), all on a non-recourse basis. Through March 31, 2015, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores ("Mervyns") and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments ("Add-On Investments"). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively "Other RCP Investments"). The Company accounts for its investments in Mervyns and Albertsons on the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control. The Company accounts for its investments in its Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments on the cost method as it does not have any influence over such entities' operating and financial policies nor any rights with respect to the control and operation of these entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received distributions from its RCP Venture of $4.5 million, of which the Operating Partnership's aggregate share was $0.9 million.

The following table summarizes activity related to the RCP Venture investments from inception through March 31, 2015:

Other Fund Investments

The unaffiliated partners in Fund II's investment in Albee Tower I Owners, Fund III's investments in Parkway Crossing, Arundel Plaza and the White City Shopping Center as well as Fund IV's investments in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, Eden Square and the Broughton Street Portfolio, maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

Self-Storage Management, a Fund III investment, was determined to be a variable interest entity. Management has evaluated the applicability of ASC Topic 810 to this joint venture and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidation of this venture is not required. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

7.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As of March 31, 2015, the Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of 16 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $272.6 million, which effectively fix the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") at rates ranging from 0.7% to 3.8% and mature between May 2015 and March 2025. The Company also has four derivative financial instruments with an aggregate notional value of $139.3 million which cap LIBOR at rates ranging from 3.0% to 4.3% and mature between July 2015 and April 2018. The fair value of these derivative instruments that represent liabilities are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $7.5 million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of these derivative instruments representing assets are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $0.2 million at December 31, 2014. The notional value does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risks.

These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows of variable-rate interest payments on mortgage and other debt. Such instruments are reported at their fair values as stated above. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, unrealized losses totaling $(6.8) million and $(4.0) million, respectively, were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Along with a guarantee with respect to customary non-recourse carve outs, the Operating Partnership, as the managing member of Fund IV, has provided a guarantee of principal, interest and fees upon a default as a result of Fund IV’s breach of certain specified financial covenants.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015:



(dollars in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Derivative financial instruments (Note 7)	$	—	$	—	$	—
Liabilities
Derivative financial instruments (Note 7)	$	—	$	7,504	$	—

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

Financial Instruments

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

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of the following financial instruments within Level 2 of the hierarchy by discounting future cash flows utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar financial instruments would be originated at the reporting date:



(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Notes receivable and preferred equity investments, net	$	98,560	$	98,560	$	102,286	$	102,286
Mortgage and other notes payable	$	1,304,739	$	1,318,299	$	1,130,481	$	1,141,371

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company earned property management fees, construction, legal and leasing fees from its investments in unconsolidated affiliates totaling $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. Investments in the Core Portfolio are typically held long-term. Given the contemplated finite life of the Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/managing member of the Funds are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Structured Financing represents the Company's investments in notes receivable and preferred equity. The following tables set forth certain segment information for the Company, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and does not include unconsolidated affiliates:

12. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 247,863 LTIP Units and 8,357 Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the "Share Incentive Plan"). Vesting of some of these units is subject to the Company achieving certain performance measures. With respect to the executive officers, these units vest over a 5-year period, with 60% of the units earned at the end of the third year and the remaining 40% vesting ratably over the following two years. With the exception of those units, vesting of all other awards will occur ratably over the vesting period.



	Units Issued
	LTIPs	Restricted Shares	Vesting Period	% Performance Based
Executive Officers	236,924	—	5 Years	17	%
Other Officers	7,879	1,308	3 Years	24	%
Other Employees	3,060	7,049	3 Years	—

Total	247,863	8,357

These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date. Fair value was established as the market price of the Company's Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date. The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of their respective grant dates was $8.8 million, which will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.5 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In addition, members of the Board of Trustees have been issued units under the Share Incentive Plan. Total trustee fee expense related to these issuances was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the "Program") pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote or Fund IV Promote when and if such Promotes are ultimately realized. The Company has awarded all of the units under the Program related to the Fund III Promote and 20% of the units related to the Fund IV Promote. These units were determined to have no value at issuance or as of March 31, 2015. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

OVERVIEW

Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:

•

Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas. Our goal is to create value through accretive redevelopment and re-tenanting activities within our existing portfolio and grow this platform through the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class.


•	Generate additional growth through our Funds in which we co-invest with high-quality institutional investors. Our Fund strategy focuses on opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value, execution on this opportunity and the realization of value through the sale of these assets. In connection with this strategy, we focus on:


◦	value-add investments in street retail properties, located in established and "next generation" submarkets, with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,


◦	opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real estate anchored by distressed retailers, and


◦	other opportunistic acquisitions, which vary based on market conditions and may include high-yield acquisitions and purchases of distressed debt.


•	Some of these investments have also included, and may in the future include, joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.


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

As of March 31, 2015, we operated 145 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio and Funds. These properties primarily consist of high-quality retail properties located in key street and urban retail corridors as well as suburban locations within high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States.


•	Core Portfolio

◦

Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties we either entirely own, or partially own in joint ventures, through the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Funds. There are 89 properties in our Core Portfolio totaling 4.7 million square feet. As of March 31, 2015, the Core Portfolio physical occupancy was 96.2% and leased occupancy, which includes executed leases for which rent has not yet commenced, was 97.1%.


•	Funds


◦	Fund I has three properties totaling 0.1 million square feet.


◦	Fund II has five properties, three of which (representing 0.3 million square feet) are operating, one of which is under construction, and one of which is in the design phase.


◦	Fund III has 12 properties, nine of which (representing 1.6 million square feet) are operating and three of which are in various stages of redevelopment.


◦	Fund IV has 36 properties, 10 of which (representing 0.9 million square feet) are operating and 26 of which are in the design phase.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in our 2014 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A discussion of the significant variances and primary factors contributing thereto within our results of operations are addressed below. Where there were no significant variances from period to period, the information in the following tables is presented without further discussion:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 ("2015") to the three months ended March 31, 2014 ("2014")



(dollars in millions)	2015						2014

Total revenues	$	35.6	$	13.5	$	3.4	$	30.1	$	12.6	$	3.9

Rental income in the Core Portfolio increased $4.2 million primarily as a result of additional rents from property acquisitions in 2014 and 2015 ("Core Acquisitions").

Expense reimbursements in the Core Portfolio increased $0.9 million primarily as a result of the Core Acquisitions and increased reimbursement from higher winter related costs during 2015.



(dollars in millions)	2015						2014
Operating Expenses	Core Portfolio		Funds		Structured Financing		Core Portfolio		Funds		Structured Financing

Property operating in the Core Portfolio increased $1.1 million primarily as a result of $0.5 million related to the Core Acquisitions and $0.4 million related to increased winter related costs during 2015.

Other operating in the Funds increased $1.4 million primarily as a result of additional acquisition costs.

Depreciation and amortization in the Core Portfolio increased $1.6 million primarily as a result of the Core Acquisitions.

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests -
- Continuing operations	(0.2		)	(21.8		)	—		(0.4		)	2.9			—

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds increased $3.3 million primarily as a result of distributions in excess of basis from our RCP Venture during 2015.

Gain on disposition of property in the Funds during 2015 represents the sale of Lincoln Park Centre. The 2014 activity in the Core Portfolio relates to the gain on the disposal of Walnut Hill Plaza through foreclosure.

Interest and other finance expense decreased in the Funds by $1.1 million primarily as a result of (i) a $1.5 million decrease related to lower average interest rates during 2015 and (ii) a $0.6 million increase in capitalized interest related to our City Point redevelopment project during 2015. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings during 2015.

Income tax provision in the Funds in 2015 related to corporate federal income taxes incurred by a Fund IV investor.

Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds represents the noncontrolling interests share of all the Funds variances discussed above.

CORE PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE

The following discussion of net property operating income ("NOI") and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Our Funds invest primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and redevelopment. Given that the Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Fund investments.

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

Net Property Operating Income

NOI is determined as follows:



(dollars in millions)
Reconciliation of Consolidated Operating Income to NOI - Core Portfolio
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Consolidated Operating Income	$	15.1		$	14.7
Add back:
General and administrative	7.5			6.9
Depreciation and amortization	13.7			11.6
Less:
Interest income	(3.4		)	(3.2		)
Straight-line rent and other adjustments	(0.5		)	(1.7		)
Consolidated NOI	32.4			28.3
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated NOI	(9.4		)	(8.6		)
Less: Operating Partnership's interest in Fund NOI included above	(1.6		)	(1.4		)
Add: Operating Partnership's share of unconsolidated joint ventures NOI ¹	2.5			0.9
Core Portfolio NOI	$	23.9		$	19.2

Note:

(1) Does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures within the Funds

Same-property NOI includes properties in our Core Portfolio that we owned for both the current and prior periods presented, but excludes those properties which we acquired, sold or expected to sell, and redeveloped during these periods. We define a redevelopment property as an asset that is being repositioned in its market or undergoing significant renovation. Redevelopment activities involve taking a substantial portion of leasable space temporarily out of service and typically include structural work, demising of existing space and/or facade renovation. The following table summarizes same-property NOI for our Core Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:



(dollars in millions)
Reconciliation of Core Portfolio NOI to Same-Property NOI
	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2015			2014
Core Portfolio NOI	$	23.9		$	19.2
Less properties excluded from Same-Property NOI	(5.7		)	(1.5		)
Same-Property NOI	$	18.2		$	17.7

Percent change from 2014	3.1		%

Components of Same-Property NOI
Same-Property Revenues	$	24.8		$	23.9
Same-Property Operating Expenses	(6.6		)	(6.2		)
Same-Property NOI	$	18.2		$	17.7

The increase in Same-Property NOI in the Core Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily attributable to contractual rent increases.

The following table summarizes rent spreads on both a cash basis and straight-line basis for new and renewal leases based on leases executed within our Core Portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cash basis represents a comparison of rent most recently paid on the previous lease as compared to the initial rent paid on the new lease. Straight-line basis represents a comparison of rents as adjusted for contractual escalations, abated rent and lease incentives for the same comparable leases.



Rent Spreads on New and Renewal Leases - Core Portfolio
	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2015
Core Portfolio New and Renewal Leases	Cash Basis			Straight-Line Basis (GAAP)
Number of new and renewal leases executed	9			9
Gross leasable area	61,962			61,962

Average cost per square foot (1)	$	20.40		$	20.40
Weighted average lease term (years)	8.8			8.8

Note:

(1) The average cost per square foot includes tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions and tenant allowances.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

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

We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains

(losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)	2015			2014
Funds From Operations
Net income attributable to Common Shareholders	$	16.5		$	21.6
Depreciation of real estate and amortization of leasing costs (net of noncontrolling interests’ share)	10.9			8.8
Gain on sale (net of noncontrolling interests’ share)	(5.4		)	(12.4		)
Income attributable to noncontrolling interests’ in Operating Partnership	1.0			0.9
Funds from operations	$	23.0		$	18.9
Funds From Operations per Share - Diluted
Weighted average number of Common Shares and OP Units	72.6			58.4
Diluted funds from operations, per share	$	0.32		$	0.32

USES OF LIQUIDITY

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

Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must currently distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and LTIP Unit holders totaling $39.3 million, which were funded from the Operating Partnership's share of operating cash flow.

Distributions of $27.7 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund III during the three months ended March 31, 2015. This distribution resulted from proceeds following the disposition of the Lincoln Park Centre (Note 2).

Distributions of $4.6 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund IV during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Of this, $0.2 million was made from operating cash flows and $4.4 million resulted from financing proceeds.

Investments

Core Portfolio

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we acquired two properties for an aggregate purchase price of $179.0 million. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments.

Structured Financings

As of March 31, 2015, our structured financing portfolio, net of allowances aggregated $98.6 million with related accrued interest of $7.1 million. The notes were collateralized by the underlying properties, the borrower's ownership interest in the entities that

own the properties and/or by the borrower's personal guarantee. Effective interest rates on our notes receivable ranged from 3.9% to 24.0% with maturities from April 2015 through May 2024.

Investments made in our structured financing portfolio during 2015 are discussed in Note 6 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Funds

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Fund IV acquired one property for a purchase price of $51.0 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $11.8 million. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of this investment.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, Fund IV acquired one property for a purchase price of $33.0 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $7.6 million.

As part of our Fund investment strategy, we acquire real estate assets that require significant redevelopment. As of March 31, 2015, we had eight redevelopment projects, one of which is under construction and seven of which are in various stages of development as follows:



(dollars in millions)
Property	Owner	Costs to date		Anticipated additional costs (1)	Status	Anticipated square feet upon completion	Anticipated completion dates
City Point (2)	Fund II	$	363.2	($43.2) - ($13.2)	Construction commenced	675,000	2016

Broughton Street Portfolio	Fund IV	45.6		16.4 - 22.4	Construction commenced	200,000	2016
27 E. 61st St	Fund IV	20.5		2.3 - 6.3	Pre-construction	9,500	2016
Total		$	506.3	$58.1 - $122.1

Notes:

(1) Anticipated additional costs are estimated ranges for completing the projects and include costs for tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The Operating Partnership's share of these costs are estimated to range from $11.6 million to $24.4 million.

(2) Net of anticipated reimbursements from retail tenants and proceeds from residential tower sales.

Debt Service and Loan Repayments

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company repaid two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $28.4 million. See Note 8 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these repayments. In addition, the Company made scheduled amortization payments totaling $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Share Repurchase

We have an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Common Shares. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that we will

purchase the full amount authorized. Under this program we have repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares, none of which were repurchased after December 2001. As of March 31, 2015, management has remaining authority to repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity include (i) the issuance of both Common Shares and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds III and IV of $74.8 million and $307.8 million, respectively, (iv) future sales of existing properties and (v) cash on hand of $119.6 million as of March 31, 2015 and future cash flows from operating activities.

Issuance of Equity

During May 2014, we filed a universal, unlimited shelf registration on Form S-3. The registration is active through May 2017 and allows the Company to issue Common Shares, Preferred Shares, debt securities, and other securities with no restrictions on the amount.

During 2015, we have issued 0.6 million Common Shares under our at-the-market ("ATM") equity program for net proceeds of $19.5 million. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our ATM equity program.

Fund Capital

As of March 31, 2015 unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests in our Funds totaled $382.6 million. See Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Fund capital activity.

Asset Sales

In January 2015, we completed the sale of Fund III's Lincoln Park Centre for $64.0 million. After the repayment of $28.0 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $7.2 million. See Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our asset dispositions.

During April 2015, we completed the sale of Fund III's White City property for $96.8 million. After the repayment of $56.4 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $25.6 million.

Structured Financing Repayments

See Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for an overview of our notes receivable and preferred equity investments, and for payments received during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Debt Financings

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received loan proceeds of $169.7 million, and made repayments of $28.4 million. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the transactions related to mortgage loans, bond financing and credit facilities completed during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, mortgages and other notes payable aggregated $1,302.1 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $2.6 million, and the mortgages were collateralized by 43 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and other notes payable ranged from 1.00% to 6.65% with maturities that ranged from April 2015 to March 2024. Taking into consideration $272.6 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $884.2 million of the mortgages and other notes payable, or 67.9%, was fixed at a 4.84% weighted average interest rate and $417.9 million, or 32.1% was floating at a 2.09% weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2015. There is $310.7 million of debt maturing in 2015 at a weighted average interest rate of 2.36%. In addition, there is $5.8 million of scheduled principal amortization due in 2015. As it relates to the maturing debt in 2015, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature.

The following table sets forth certain information pertaining to our secured and unsecured credit facilities:

(2) Represents the amount of our variable-rate debt that has been fixed through certain cash flow hedge transactions. See Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these transactions.

(3) Maturity date for this loan is 5 years from the approval of the final funds from USCIS, which is currently anticipated to be during 2015.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

At March 31, 2015, maturities on our mortgages and other notes payable ranged from April 2015 to March 2024. In addition, we have non-cancelable ground leases, with terms expiring between 2019 and 2078, at seven of our properties. We also lease space for our corporate headquarters for a term expiring in 2027. The following table summarizes our debt maturities, obligations under non-cancelable operating leases and construction contracts as of March 31, 2015:



(dollars in millions)	Payments due by period
Contractual obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		3 to 5 years		More than 5 years
Future debt maturities	$	1,302.1	$	419.5	$	433.9	$	353.2	$	95.5

(1) The ground lease expiring during 2078 has an option to purchase the underlying land during 2031. If we do not exercise the option, the rents that will be due are based on future values and as such are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the above table does not include rents for this lease beyond 2031.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have investments in the following joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. As such, our financial statements reflect our investment in and our share of income and loss from, but not the individual assets and liabilities of, these joint ventures.

See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. Our pro-rata share of debt related to these unconsolidated investments is as follows:



(dollars in millions)	Operating Partnership
Investment	Pro-rata share of mortgage debt		Interest rate at March 31, 2015		Maturity Date
Arundel Plaza	$	1.6	5.60	%	June 2015

Total	$	131.8

Note:

(1) Subsequent to March 31, 2015, and in connection with the disposition of this property, this mortgage loan was repaid.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of two separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of March 31, 2015, there was no outstanding balance under the letters of credit. If the letters of credit were fully drawn, the maximum amount of our exposure would be $12.5 million.

In addition to our derivative financial instruments, one of our unconsolidated affiliates is a party to two separate interest rate LIBOR swaps with a notional value of $28.0 million, which effectively fix the interest rate at 4.97% and expire in December 2017. Our pro-rata share of the fair value of such affiliates' derivative liabilities totaled $0.3 million at March 31, 2015. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, in connection with the disposition of the White City Shopping Center, these instruments were terminated.

HISTORICAL CASH FLOW

The following table compares the historical cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 ("2015") with the cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2014 ("2014"):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2015			2014			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	26.6		$	22.2		$	4.4
Net cash used in investing activities	(235.1		)	(120.3		)	(114.8		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	110.5			91.7			18.8
Total	$	(98.0	)	$	(6.4	)	$	(91.6	)

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flows for 2015 compared to 2014 is as follows:

Operating Activities

The increase of $4.4 million in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the following:

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


•	Additional cash flow during 2015 from Core and Fund Property acquisitions


•	Additional RCP Venture distributions during 2015

Investing Activities

The increase of $114.8 million in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the following:

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


•	An increase of $162.8 million used in the acquisition of real estate during 2015


•	A decrease of $20.5 million in return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates


•	A decrease of $7.2 million in proceeds from collections of notes receivable during 2015

Items which contributed to a decrease in cash used in investing activities:


•	An increase of $63.2 million in proceeds from sales of properties during 2015


•	A decrease of $18.4 million in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates

Financing Activities

The $18.8 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the following:

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


•	An additional $57.7 million of net borrowings during 2015

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


•	An increase of $24.0 million in dividends paid to Common Shareholders during 2015


•	A decrease of $8.6 million in capital contributions from noncontrolling interests during 2015


•	A decrease of $4.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares, net of issuance costs during 2015

INFLATION

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of March 31, 2015, we had total mortgage debt and other notes payable of $1,302.1 million, net of unamortized premium of $2.6 million, of which $884.2 million or 67.9% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $417.9 million or 32.1% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2015, we were a party to 16 interest rate swap transactions and four interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $272.6 million and $139.3 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $316.5 million and $298.6 million will become due in 2015 and 2016, respectively. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rate, our interest expense would increase by approximately $6.2 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $2.3 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2015 would increase by $4.2 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $0.7 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

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

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

During July 2013, a lawsuit was brought against us relating to the 2011 flood at Mark Plaza by Kmart Corporation in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, State of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit alleges a breach of contract and negligence relating to landlord responsibility for damages incurred by the tenant as a result of the flood. The tenant is seeking damages in excess of $9.0 million. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit.

During December 2013, in connection with Phase 2 of Fund II’s City Point Project, Albee Development LLC ("Albee") and a non-affiliated construction manager were served with a Summons With Notice as well as a Demand for Arbitration by Casino Development Group, Inc. ("Casino"), the former contractor responsible for the excavation and concrete work at the City Point Project. Albee terminated the contract with Casino for cause prior to completion of the contract. Casino is seeking approximately $7.4 million, which has now been bonded. Albee believes that it has meritorious defenses to, and is prepared to vigorously defend itself against the claims. Presently, the parties are before the New York State Supreme Court in Kings County on various procedural matters.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, during August 2009, we terminated the employment of a former Senior Vice President (the "Former Employee") for engaging in conduct that materially violated the Company's employee handbook. The Company decided that the behavior fell within the definition of "cause" in his severance agreement with us and therefore did not pay him anything thereunder. The Former Employee brought a lawsuit against us in New York State Supreme Court (the "Court"), in the amount of $0.9 million alleging breach of the severance agreement. On August 7, 2014, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company, as defendant, and against plaintiff, the Former Executive, finding that his conduct in fact and law, constituted “cause” under his severance agreement. Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal but has not yet perfected his appeal. The Company continues to believe that termination was justified for ”cause” and that it will be successful on appeal.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The most significant risk factors applicable to us are described in Item 1A. of our 2014 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to those previously-disclosed risk factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
