All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of
September 30, 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
September 30, 2015
, the Company has ownership interests in
90
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
52
properties within its 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
142
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).

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 and nine
months ended
September 30, 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as a result of the loss of a key anchor tenant, one of the properties in the Company's Brandywine Portfolio, in which an unaffiliated third party has a
77.78%
noncontrolling interest, did not generate sufficient cash flow to meet the full debt service requirements leading to a default on the mortgage loan. Management performed an analysis and determined that the carrying amount of this property was not recoverable. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$5.0 million
, which is included in the statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Operating Partnership's share of this charge, net of the noncontrolling interest, was
$1.1 million
. The property is collateral for
$26.3 million
of non-recourse mortgage debt which matures July 1, 2016. Management does not believe that the carrying values of any of its other properties are impaired as of
September 30, 2015
.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 requires an entity to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted and shall be applied prospectively. ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
During August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date." ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 "Revenues from Contracts with Customers" from annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
During April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to help an entity evaluate the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. ASU 2015-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. ASU 2015-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
During April 2015, the FASB issued 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. During August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 which clarifies that under ASU 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs relating to line-of-credit arrangements as assets. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-15 simultaneously with ASU 2015-03. Neither ASU 2015-03 nor ASU 2015-15 are 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
September 30, 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 September 30, 2014
and for each of the
nine months ended September 30, 2015
and
September 30, 2014
. Conversely, the assumed conversion of these would be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended
September 30, 2015
.
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:

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
88.43%
tenancy-in-common interest in an
87,000
square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois ("840 N. Michigan"). 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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining
77.78%
outstanding interest of an approximately
20,000
square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center") that was previously accounted for under the equity method from an unaffiliated partner. As a result of the transaction, the Company now consolidates this investment.
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
September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received distributions from its RCP Venture of
$5.9 million
, of which the Operating Partnership's aggregate share was
$1.2 million
.

The unaffiliated partners in Fund III's investments in Arundel Plaza 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.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The FASB's fair value measurements and disclosure guidance requires the valuation of certain of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, based on a three-level fair value hierarchy. Market value assumptions obtained from sources independent of the Company are observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy, and the Company's own assumptions about market value assumptions are unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of
September 30, 2015
:

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 as well as any assets that have been impaired (Note 4).

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that the value of one of the properties in its Brandywine Portfolio was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of
$5.0 million
(Note 1), of which the Operating Partnership's pro-rata share was
$1.1 million
. The Company estimated the fair value by using projected future cash flows, which it determined were not sufficient to recover the property's net book value. The inputs used to determine this fair value are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
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:

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has
three
reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing Portfolio. 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. The Structured Financing Portfolio 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 and nine months ended
September 30, 2015
and 2014, and does not include unconsolidated affiliates:

13. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued
247,863
LTIP Units and
8,640
Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the "Share Incentive Plan"). These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, which 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 value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of
$0.5 million
and
$1.4 million
has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to these awards for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2015
, respectively. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was
$1.7 million
and
$1.6 million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2015
and 2014, respectively, and
$5.2 million
and
$4.6 million
for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015
and 2014, respectively.
In addition, members of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") have been issued units under the Share Incentive Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company issued
14,179
Restricted Shares and
10,601
LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to
6,469
of the Restricted Shares and
6,131
of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and
7,710
of the Restricted Shares and
4,470
of the LTIP Unites vest over
three
years with
33%
vesting on each of the next
three
anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Trustee fee expense related to this issuance was
$0.2 million
for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015
.
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. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2015
, the Company amended the Program to require Board approval for all amounts paid in connection with units awarded to senior executives. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted.
This amendment to the Program was not applicable to awards issued to non-senior executives of the Company. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," compensation relating to these non-senior executive awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compensation expense of
$0.7 million
was recognized in connection with the Fund III awards and the units awarded in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no value.
14.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During October 2015, Fund IV completed the acquisition of a
90%
interest in 650 Bald Hill Road located in Warwick, RI for
$8.3 million
. In connection with this acquisition, an existing
$6.5 million
note receivable investment held by Fund IV was converted into an equity interest in the property.
During October 2015, Fund IV completed the acquisition of a
90%
interest in 2208-2216 Fillmore Street located in San Francisco, CA for
$7.7 million
.
During October 2015, the Company completed
two
forward-looking swap transactions with respect to
$100.0 million
of notional principal fixing the base interest rate at a blended 130 basis points.

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
September 30, 2015
, we operated
142
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.
27
•
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
90
properties in our Core Portfolio totaling 4.7 million square feet. As of
September 30, 2015
, the Core Portfolio physical occupancy was 96.7% and leased occupancy, which includes executed leases for which rent has not yet commenced, was 97.1%.
•
Funds
◦
Fund II has four properties, two 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
10
properties, seven of which (representing 1.1 million square feet) are operating and three of which are in various stages of redevelopment.
◦
Fund IV has investments in 13 individual properties, 10 of which (representing 0.9 million square feet) are operating and 3 of which are in various stages of development. In addition, Fund IV is invested in a portfolio of 25 properties (the Broughton Street Portfolio), 4 of which are operating and 21 of which are in various stages of development.
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:

Rental income in the Core Portfolio increased $5.8 million primarily as a resul
t of additional rents from property acquisitions in 2014 and 2015 ("Core Acquisitions")
. Rental income in the Funds decreased $1.6 million due to decreases of $1.4 million relating to property dispositions in 2015 ("Fund Dispositions") and an anticipated significant vacancy at 161st Street in connection with the redevelopment. These decreases were partially offset by property acquisitions in 2015 ("Fund Acquisitions").
The $2.7 million increase in interest income in the Structured Financing Portfolio was a result of the collection of $1.5 million of interest that was previously reserved for as well as new loans that were originated during 2014 and 2015.
28
Other income in the Structured Financing Portfolio increased $1.6 million due to

The gain on disposition of properties of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds during 2015 represents our pro-rata share of gain on sale from Parkway Crossing. Gain on disposition of properties of unconsolidated affiliated in the Funds in 2014 resulted from our pro-rata share of gain on sale of investments in the Fund III and Fund IV Lincoln Road Portfolios.
Interest and other finance expense in the Funds decreased $1.2 million from (i) a $1.0 million decrease related to lower average interest rates during 2015 and (ii) a $1.2 million increase in capitalized interest related to our City Point redevelopment project during 2015. These decreases were offset by a $1.0 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings during 2015.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Core Portfolio increased $1.2 million primarily as a result of our December 2014 investment in 840 N. Michigan.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds increased $3.7 million from distributions in excess of basis from our RCP Venture during 2015.
The gain on disposition of properties of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds during 2015 represents our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of the White City Shopping Center and Parkway Crossing. Gain on disposition of property of unconsolidated affiliates in the Funds in 2014 resulted from our pro-rata share of gain on sale of investments in the Fund III and Fund IV Lincoln Road Portfolios.
The gain on disposition of properties in the Funds of $89.1 million during 2015 is from the sale of Lincoln Park Centre, Liberty Avenue and the air rights at our City Point project. Gain on disposition of properties in the Core Portfolio of $12.6 million in 2014 represents the gain on the disposal of Walnut Hill Plaza through foreclosure.
Interest and other finance expense in the Funds decreased $2.5 million from (i) a $3.0 million decrease related to lower average interest rates during 2015 and (ii) a $2.2 million increase in capitalized interest related to our City Point redevelopment project during 2015. These decreases were offset by a $2.7 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 loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds represents their share of all Fund 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 frequently 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, excluding above and below market rent as well as straight-line rent, 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.
31
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:

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.

months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

The increase in Same-Property NOI in the Core Portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily attributable to contractual rent increases and the realization of rent increases from below-market leases.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.

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.
33
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. Although we calculate FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition, other REITs may calculate it differently and, accordingly, our calculation may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the
three and nine
ended
September 30, 2015
and

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 nine months ended
September 30, 2015
, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and LTIP Units totaling $74.7 million, which were funded from the Operating Partnership's share of operating cash flow. In addition, we paid a special dividend of $21.8 million during January 2015, relating to the Operating Partnership's share of cash proceeds from property dispositions during 2014.
Distributions of $1.7 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund I during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of operating cash flows.
Distributions of $61.8 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund III during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Of this, $57.9 million resulted from proceeds following the dispositions of Lincoln Park Centre, White City Shopping Center and Parkway Crossing as discussed in Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. $3.0 million resulted from operating cash flows and $0.9 million resulted from financing proceeds.
Distributions of $4.6 million were made to noncontrolling interests in Fund IV during the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired three properties for an aggregate purchase price of $198.6 million. In addition, we acquired the remaining 77.78% outstanding interest in a joint venture we had with an unaffiliated third party for $5.6 million. See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments.
Structured Financing Portfolio
As of September 30, 2015, our structured financing portfolio, net of allowances aggregated $153.4 million with related accrued interest of $9.6 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 2.5% to 24.0% with maturities from October 2015 through November 2020.
During 2015, we have made investments aggregating $71.2 million in our structured financing portfolio. See Note 6 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments.
Funds
During 2015, we have made property investments in our Funds for an aggregate $200.9 million as follows:
During April 2015, Fund II acquired an additional interest in City Point - Tower I for $19.8 million of cash and the assumption of $81.0 million of debt. As a result of the acquisition, Fund II owns 95% of the asset.
See Note 4 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of this investment.
Fund IV has acquired four properties, including two acquired subsequent to September 30, 2015, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.1 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $23.1 million. See Notes 4 and 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these investments. Additionally, Fund IV is under contract to acquire an additional $50.3 million of property. As this acquisitions pipeline is subject to customary closing conditions, no assurance can be given that closing will be successfully completed.
As part of our Fund investment strategy, we acquire real estate assets that require significant redevelopment. As of September 30, 2015, we had nine redevelopment projects, four of which are under construction and five of which are in various stages of development as follows:

(2) Phases I and II have an estimated completion date of 2016. Phase III has an estimated completion date of 2020.
(3) Net of actual and anticipated contributions from retail tenants and proceeds from residential tower sales. In addition, costs to day and anticipated additional costs excludes Tower I. Costs to date are reduced by $5.3 million relating to the New Markets Tax Credits received.
Debt Service and Loan Repayments
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company repaid four loans with an aggregate principal balance of $76.1 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 $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 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
September 30, 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 $50.0 million and $277.7 million, respectively, (iv) future sales of existing properties, (v) cash on hand of $72.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and (vi) 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 0.8 million Common Shares under our at-the-market ("ATM") equity program for net proceeds of $26.9 million. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our ATM equity program.
Asset Sales
During 2015, we have completed dispositions with an aggregate sales price of $327.9 million within our Funds, of which the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds were $30.8 million.
During 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.
During April 2015, we completed the sale of Fund III's White City Shopping Center for $96.8 million. After the repayment of $56.4 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $5.1 million.
During May 2015, we completed the sale of a 92.5% interest in Phase III at Fund II's City Point project for $115.6 million. The purchase price was comprised of $85.8 million in cash and the issuance of a $29.8 million note. After the repayment of $20.7 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $13.0 million.
During May 2015, we completed the disposition of Fund II's Liberty Avenue for a sales price of $24.0 million. Net of the repayment of $8.9 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $2.8 million.
36
During July 2015, we completed the sale of Fund III's Parkway Crossing property for $27.3 million. After repayment of $12.7 million of debt, the Operating Partnership's share of net proceeds was $2.7 million.
Additionally, Fund III is under contract to dispose of property in excess of $100.0 million. As this disposition pipeline is subject to customary closing conditions, no assurance can be given that closing will be successfully completed. The Operating Partnership's share of anticipated net proceeds is expected to range between $16.0 million and $19.0 million.
See Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our asset dispositions.
Structured Financing Portfolio Repayments
During 2015, we have received repayments in our structured financing portfolio aggregating $16.0 million. See Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information of our notes receivable and preferred equity investments, and for payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Debt Financings
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2015
, we received loan proceeds of
$339.1 million
, and made repayments of
$267.3 million
. See Notes 8 and 9 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 nine months ended
September 30, 2015
.
As of
September 30, 2015
, mortgages and other notes payable aggregated
$1,315.6 million
, excluding the unamortized premium of
$1.7 million
, and the mortgages were collateralized by
40
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
October 2015
to
February 2024
. Taking into consideration
$207.2 million
of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect,
$809.8 million
of the mortgages and other notes payable, or
61.6%
, was fixed at a
4.91%
weighted average interest rate and
$505.8 million
, or
38.4%
was floating at a
2.07%
weighted average interest rate as of
September 30, 2015
. There is
$112.7 million
of debt maturing in 2015 at a weighted average interest rate of
1.86%
. In addition, there is
$1.9 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. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with respect to $100.0 million of notional principal.

(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:

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flows for 2015 compared to 2014 is as follows:
Operating Activities
Our operating activities provided $23.6 million of additional cash during 2015, primarily from the following:
•
An increase in cash flow from Core and Fund Property acquisitions
•
An increase in cash flow from our Structured Financing Portfolio
Investing Activities
During 2015, our investing activities used an additional $195.5 million of cash, primarily for the following:
•
An additional $155.7 million was used for the acquisition of real estate
•
$54.6 million more was used for redevelopment and property improvement costs
•
$24.9 million of additional cash was issued for notes receivable
•
$21.0 million less cash was collected from the return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates
These items were partially offset by:
•
$48.9 million less cash used in investments and advances to unconsolidated affiliates
•
$16.7 million more cash received from the disposition of properties
Financing Activities
Our financing activities provided $24.8 million less cash during 2015, primarily from the following:
•
$86.8 million less cash received from the issuance of Common Shares
•
Cash provided from net borrowings decreased $40.1 million
•
An additional $30.4 million of cash was used to pay dividends to Common Shareholders
These items were partially offset by:
•
$133.9 million of less cash distributed to noncontrolling interests
41
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
September 30, 2015
, we had total mortgage debt and other notes payable of
$1,315.6 million
, net of unamortized premium of
$1.7 million
, of which
$809.8 million
or
61.6%
was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and
$505.8 million
or
38.4%
was variable-rate based upon certain indices, primarily LIBOR, plus certain spreads. As of
September 30, 2015
, we were a party to
14
interest rate swap transactions and
two
interest rate caps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to
$207.2 million
and
$35.4 million
of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with respect to $100.0 million of notional principal.
Of our total consolidated outstanding debt
,
$114.6 million
and
$454.2 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
$5.7 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
$1.9 million
.
Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of
September 30, 2015
would increase by
$5.1 million
annually if the indices increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be
$1.3 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.
Other than as follows, there have been no material changes to any legal proceedings previously disclosed in the Company's most recently filed 10-K and 10-Q.
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 alleged a breach of contract and negligence relating to landlord responsibility for damages incurred by the tenant as a result of the flood. The tenant was seeking damages in excess of $9.0 million. During the third quarter of 2015, the case was settled for $1.1 million. Of this $0.8 million was paid by insurance and the Company paid $0.3 million.
During December 2013, in connection with our 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 was seeking approximately $7.4 million. During the second quarter of 2015, the case was settled for $3.3 million, of which the Operating Partnership's share was $0.6 million.
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 Employee, finding that his conduct in fact and law, constituted “cause” under his severance agreement. The Court rendered two decisions, one granting the Company’s motion for summary judgment and a second denying the Former Employee's motion to dismiss the Company’s answer as an abuse of judicial discretion. The Former Employee has only appealed the latter decision. The Company continues to believe 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.
