NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    THE COMPANY
 
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the ownership, acquisition, redevelopment and management of retail properties, including neighborhood and community shopping centers and mixed-use properties with retail components.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling interest. As of June 30, 2009, the Trust controlled 98% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

During 2001, the Company formed a partnership, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Fund I”), and in 2004 formed a limited liability company, Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), with four institutional investors. The Operating Partnership committed a total of $20.0 million to Fund I and Mervyns I, and the four institutional shareholders committed $70.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring real estate investments. As of June 30, 2009, Fund I was fully invested and closed to new investors and investments.

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner of Fund I and sole managing member of Mervyns I, with a 22.2% equity interest in both Fund I and Mervyns I and is also entitled to a profit participation in excess of its equity interest percentage based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”). Cash flow is distributed pro-rata to the partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until they receive a 9% cumulative return (“Preferred Return”), and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow (which is net of distributions and fees to the Operating Partnership for management, asset management, leasing, construction and legal services) is distributed 80% to the partners (including the Operating Partnership) and 20% to the Operating Partnership as a Promote. As all contributed capital and accumulated preferred return has been distributed to investors, the Operating Partnership is now entitled to a Promote on all earnings and distributions.

During 2004, the Company, along with the investors from Fund I as well as two additional institutional investors, formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), and Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) with $300.0 million of committed discretionary capital available to acquire or develop real estate investments. The Operating Partnership’s share of committed capital is $60.0 million. The Operating Partnership is the managing member with a 20% interest in both Fund II and Mervyns II. The terms and structure of Fund II and Mervyns II are substantially the same as Fund I and Mervyns I, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 8%. As of June 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership had contributed $30.8 million to Fund II and $7.6 million to Mervyns II.

During 2007, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”) with 14 institutional investors, including all of the investors from Fund I and a majority of the investors from Fund II with $503 million of committed discretionary capital available to acquire or develop real estate investments. The Operating Partnership’s share of the committed capital is $100.0 million and it is the managing member with a 19.9% interest in Fund III. The terms and structure of Fund III are substantially the same as the previous Funds, including the Promote structure, with the exception that the Preferred Return is 6%. As of June 30, 2009, the Operating Partnership had contributed $19.2 million to Fund III.

Fund I, Fund II, and Fund III are collectively referred to herein as the “Opportunity Funds.”

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its controlling investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-05. 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 instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings (or loss) of these entities are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates. 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.

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (continued)
 
Although the Company accounts for its investment in Albertson’s, which it has made through the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”) (Note 7), using the equity method of accounting, the Company adopted the policy of not recording its equity in earnings or losses of the unconsolidated affiliate until the Company receives the audited financial statements of Albertson’s to support the equity earnings or losses in accordance with paragraph 19 of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18 “Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.”

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 six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2009 through the time of filing this Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 6, 2009. Material subsequent events that have occurred since June 30, 2009 are discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the following Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) pronouncements, which required it to retrospectively restate and reclassify previously disclosed consolidated financial statements. As such, certain prior period amounts have been restated or reclassified in the unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform to the adoption of these FASB pronouncements.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” which, among other things, provides guidance and establishes amended accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a consolidated subsidiary and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Under SFAS No. 160, the Company now reports noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and shows both net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the controlling interests on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”, (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt be allocated between a debt component and an equity component. The debt component is measured based on the fair value of similar debt without an equity conversion feature, and the equity component is determined as the residual of the fair value of the debt deducted from the original proceeds received.  The resulting discount on the debt component is amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding, which is December 11, 2006 to December 20, 2011, as additional non-cash interest expense.  The equity component recorded as additional paid-in capital was $11.3 million, which represented the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes payable and the fair value of the liability at the time of issuance. The additional non-cash interest expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to the convertible notes payable was $0.6 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, after giving effect to repurchases.

The following table shows the effect of the retroactive restatement and reclassification of (i) the consolidated balance sheet accounts for the year ended December 31, 2008 and (ii) the consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and consolidated statement of cash flow accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2008:

During December of 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.”  SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 141R and it did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
During March of 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133.”   SFAS No. 161 amends SFAS No. 133 to provide additional information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivatives and hedging activities.   SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.   The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, (continued)
 
During June of 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) EITF Issue 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” (“EITF 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 became effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During October of 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”) which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP FAS 157-3 provides guidance in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP SFAS 107-1”). FSP SFAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments” and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements. FSP SFAS 107-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP SFAS 107-1 and has provided the disclosures in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS No. 165”) which establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. This new standard was effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 and has provided the new disclosures as required. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS No. 167”) which changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective on the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 167 on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. It establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Codification does not create new accounting and reporting guidance rather it reorganizes GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the SEC, for SEC registrants, have been included in the Codification. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 168 on September 30, 2009 and will update all disclosures to reference Codification in its September 30, 2009 quarterly report.

3.    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income attributable to Common Shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each period consistent with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

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

Diluted earnings per Common Share from continuing operations attributable to Common Shareholders
  $ 0.18     $ 0.30     $ 0.45     $ 0.52  
 
The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested restricted Common Shares (“Restricted Shares”) and restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) (Note 15) that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable to Common Shares (Note 11) is not reflected in the table as such conversion would be anti-dilutive. The effect of the assumed conversion of 25,067 Series A Preferred OP Units to Common Shares would be dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and, accordingly, they are included in the table.

Acquisition of Properties

On January 29, 2009, the Company purchased Cortlandt Towne Center for $78.0 million.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a "component" of an entity, for all periods presented, the Company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties that were sold or became held for sale prior to June 30, 2009, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations.

The combined assets and liabilities of properties held for sale for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the combined results of operations for these properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 are reported separately as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations include six Kroger Supermarket locations that were sold in February of 2009.

Retailer Controlled Property Venture (“RCP Venture”)

During January of 2004, the Company commenced the RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc., through a limited liability company (“KLA”), for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had invested $60.5 million through the RCP Venture on a non-recourse basis. Cash flow from any investment in which the RCP Venture participants elect to invest, is to be distributed to the participants until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff and 80% to the partners (including Klaff).

The table below summarizes the Company’s invested capital and distributions received from its RCP Venture investments.

Mervyns Department Stores

During September of 2004, the RCP Venture invested in a consortium to acquire the Mervyns Department Store chain (“Mervyns”) consisting of 262 stores (“REALCO”) and its retail operation (“OPCO”) from Target Corporation. The gross acquisition price of $1.2 billion was financed with $800 million of debt and $400 million of equity. The Company contributed $23.2 million of equity and received an approximate 5.2% interest in REALCO and an approximate 2.5% interest in OPCO (which the Company sold in 2007). Subsequent to the initial acquisition, the Company made additional investments of $4.3 million. To date, REALCO has disposed of a significant portion of the portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, REALCO recorded an impairment charge on its investment in certain Mervyns Department Store locations and leasehold interests of which Mervyns I and II recognized a combined loss of $3.1 million. The Operating Partnership’s share of this loss, net of taxes, was $0.6 million.

Through June 30, 2009, the Company made additional investments in locations that are separate from the original investment (“Add-On Investments”) in Mervyns totaling $3.4 million.  The Company accounts for these Add-On Investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over KLA’s operating and financial policies.

Albertson’s

During June of 2006, the RCP Venture made its second investment as part of an investment consortium, acquiring Albertson’s and Cub Foods, of which the Company’s share was $20.7 million. Through June 30, 2009, the Company has received distributions from this investment totaling $63.8 million.

During 2007, the Company made Add-On Investments totaling $2.4 million and received distributions totaling $0.5 million. The Company accounts for these Add-On Investments using the cost method due to the minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over KLA’s operating and financial policies.

Other RCP Venture Investments

During 2006, the Company made investments of $1.1 million in Shopko, a regional multi-department retailer, and $0.7 million in Marsh, a regional supermarket chain, through the RCP Venture. During 2007, the Company received a $1.1 million cash distribution from the Shopko investment representing 100% of its invested capital. The Company made investments of $2.0 million in additional investments in Marsh and received distributions of $1.0 million from Marsh during 2008. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received additional distributions of $1.6 million from Marsh.

During July of 2007, the RCP Venture acquired a portfolio of 87 retail properties from Rex Stores Corporation. The Company’s share of this investment was $2.7 million.

The Company accounts for these other investments using the cost method due to its minor ownership interest and the inability to exert influence over KLA’s operating and financial policies.

In June 2009, the servicer of two of the Company’s loans alleged that non-monetary defaults had occurred for two construction loans for $31.0 million and $9.4 million collateralized by the Pelham Manor Shopping Center and Atlantic Avenue, respectively. The servicer contends that the Company did not substantially complete the improvements in accordance with the required completion dates as defined in the loan agreements and, accordingly, did not meet the requirements for the final draws. The Company does not believe the loans are in default and will vigorously defend its position and is currently in discussions with the servicer to resolve these issues. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.


11.         CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In December 2006 and January 2007, the Company issued $115.0 million of convertible notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.75% due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued at par and require interest payments semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year. The Convertible Notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company purchased $53.6 million in principal amount of its Convertible Notes for $46.6 million resulting in a $7.0 million gain.

12.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.

SFAS No. 157’s valuation techniques are based on observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant value drivers are observable
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant value drivers are unobservable
 
The following describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value:

Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial liabilities primarily represent interest rate swaps and a cap and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate market pricing models. With the adoption of SFAS No. 157, the Company has amended the techniques used in measuring the fair value of its derivative positions. This amendment includes the impact of credit valuation adjustments on derivatives measured at fair value. The implementation of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The following table presents the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value based on level of inputs at June 30, 2009:

Financial Instruments

During the second quarter 2009, the Company adopted FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in both interim and annual financial statements (Note 2).

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to Related Parties and Other Liabilities — The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 due to the short-term nature of such accounts.

Notes Receivable and Preferred Equity Investments — As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has determined the estimated fair values of its preferred equity investments and notes receivable were $123.7 million and $122.3 million, respectively, by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated at the reporting date.

Derivative Instruments — The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.

Mortgage Notes Payable and Notes Payable — As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has determined the estimated fair values of its mortgage notes payable, including those relating to discontinued operations, were $751.4 million and $731.8 million, respectively, by discounting future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage notes payable would be originated at the reporting date.

13.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company earns asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction fees for providing services to an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests in which Klaff has an interest. Fees earned by the Company in connection with this portfolio were $0.05 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Lee Wielansky, the Lead Trustee of the Company, was paid a consulting fee of $25,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and $50,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

14.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has four reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Opportunity Funds, Storage Portfolio, and Other. During 2008, the Company acquired a portfolio of self storage properties and later determined that it constitutes, as of year end 2008, a new reportable segment. “Other” consists primarily of management fees, interest income, preferred equity investment and notes receivable. 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 Opportunity Funds, these investments are typically held for shorter terms. Fees earned by the Company as the general partner/member of the Opportunity Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (does not include unconsolidated affiliates):

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the three and six months then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors are set forth under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, including the current global financial crisis, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in our real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development,  acquisition and investment; risks related to our use of leverage; risks related to operating through a partnership structure; our limited control over joint venture investments; the risk of loss of key members of management; uninsured losses; REIT distribution requirements and ownership limitations; concentration of ownership by certain institutional investors; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.
 
OVERVIEW
 
As of June 30, 2009, we operated 78 properties, which we own or have an ownership interest in, within our Core Portfolio or within our three Opportunity Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned by, or partially owned through joint venture interests by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Opportunity Funds. These 78 properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, self-storage and mixed-use properties with a retail component. The properties we operate are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States. Our Core Portfolio consists of 33 properties comprising approximately 5.0 million square feet. Fund I has 21 properties comprising approximately 1.0 million square feet. Fund II has 10 properties, seven of which (representing 1.2 million square feet) are currently operating, one is under construction, and two are in design phase. The Fund II portfolio will approximate 2.0 million square feet upon completion of all current construction and anticipated redevelopment activities. Fund III has 14 properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, of which 11 locations representing 0.9 million net rentable square feet are self storage facilities. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from these 78 properties, including recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses. As our RCP Venture invests in operating companies, we consider these investments to be private-equity style, as opposed to real estate, investments.  Since these are not traditional investments in operating rental real estate, the Operating Partnership invests in these through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

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

–  Own and operate a Core Portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street retail located in markets with strong demographics and generate internal growth within the Core Portfolio through aggressive redevelopment, re-anchoring and or leasing activities
–  Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth
–  Generate external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program. The emphasis is on targeting transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through redevelopment and leasing and/or transactions requiring creative capital structuring to facilitate the transactions. These transactions may include other types of commercial real estate besides those types we invest in through our Core Portfolio. These may also 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

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy is currently in a recession, which has resulted in a significant decline in retail sales due to reduced consumer spending. Many financial and economic analysts are predicting that this business recession will extend through 2009 and perhaps beyond. Although the occupancy and net operating income within our portfolio has not been materially adversely affected through June 30, 2009, should retailers continue to experience deteriorating sales performance, the likelihood of additional tenant bankruptcy filings may increase, which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition to the impact on retailers, the economic recession has had an unprecedented impact on the U.S. credit markets. Traditional sources of financing, such as the commercial-mortgage backed security market, have become severely curtailed. If these conditions continue, our ability to finance new acquisitions will be adversely affected. Accordingly, our ability to generate external growth in income could be limited.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (our “2008 Form 10-K”) including the discussions under the headings “The current global financial crisis may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or obtain the necessary financing to complete our current redevelopment” and “The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of our major tenants or a significant number of our smaller tenants may adversely affect our cash flows and property values”.

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 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 2008 Form 10-K.

Includes fees earned by the Company as general partner/managing member of the Opportunity Funds that are eliminated in consolidation. Certain of these fees are adjusted in noncontrolling interests. The net balance reflected in this row represents third party fees which are not eliminated in consolidation. Reference is made to Note 14 to the Notes to  Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for an overview of our four reportable segments.

The increase in minimum rents in the Opportunity Funds primarily relates to additional rents following the acquisition of Cortlandt Towne Center (“2009 Fund Acquisition”) of $2.1 million and Fordham Place not being in service during the comparable period of 2008.

Expense reimbursements in the Opportunity Funds increased for both real estate taxes and common area maintenance as a result of the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Pelham Manor Shopping Center and Fordham Place not being in service during the comparable period of 2008.

Lease termination income in the Opportunity Funds for 2008 relates to a termination fee earned from Home Depot at Canarsie Plaza.

The increase in interest income was the result of higher interest earning assets in 2009, primarily from a new preferred equity investment and a note receivable originated during the second half of 2008.

The increase in property operating expenses in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to additional tenant receivable reserves in 2009.  The increase in property operating expenses in the Storage Portfolio was primarily the result of the Company’s election in 2008 to report the Storage Portfolio activity one month in arrears to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of reporting.  Accordingly, the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflects two months of storage activity while the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflects three months of storage activity.

The increase in real estate taxes in the Opportunity Funds was attributable to the 2009 Fund Acquisition.

The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Core Portfolio was primarily attributable to reduced compensation expense following employee terminations in the second half of 2008 and staff reductions in 2009.  The decrease in general and administrative expense in the Opportunity Funds relates to the reduction in Promote expense attributable to Fund I and Mervyns I.  The increase in general and administrative expense in Other relates to the reduction in Fund I and Mervyns I Promote expense eliminated for consolidated financial statement presentation purposes.

Depreciation expense in the Core Portfolio increased $0.3 million primarily as a result of Ledgewood Mall being reclassified as a continuing operation in 2009 as opposed to being held for sale, or discontinued operation in 2008.  Amortization expense in the Core Portfolio decreased $0.5 million as a result of additional amortization expense in 2008 associated with the Klaff management contracts.  Depreciation expense increased $1.4 million in the Opportunity Funds due to the 2009 Fund Acquisition as well as Pelham Manor Shopping Plaza and Fordham Plaza being partially placed in service in the second half of 2008.  Amortization expense increased $0.8 million in the Opportunity Funds as a result of additional amortization of loan costs related to Pelham and Fordham Plaza being partially placed in service in the second half of 2008.  Depreciation expense and amortization expense increased $0.4 million in the Storage Portfolio.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s election in 2008 to report the Storage Portfolio activity one month in arrears as previously discussed. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.0 million in Other as a result of depreciation associated with the elimination of capitalizable costs within the consolidated group.

The $2.4 million abandonment of project costs in 2009 is attributable to the Company’s determination that it most likely will not participate in a future development project.

The reserve for notes receivable of $1.7 million relates to the establishment of a reserve for a mezzanine loan receivable in 2009 due to the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the Opportunity Funds decreased primarily as a result of our pro rata share of gain from the sale of the Haygood Shopping Center of $3.4 million in 2008 as well as a decrease in our pro-rata share of income from Mervyns in 2009.

Total interest expense in the Core Portfolio remained unchanged from 2008 to 2009.  Interest expense in the Opportunity Funds increased $0.1 million in 2009. This was the result of an increase of $1.1 million due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2009.  This increase was offset by a $0.2 million decrease related to lower average interest rates in 2009 and $0.8 million of higher capitalized interest in 2009.  Interest expense in the Storage Portfolio increased $0.2 million in 2009.  This was the result of an increase of $0.5 million due to higher average interest rates in 2009.  This increase was offset by a $0.3 million decrease attributable to higher capitalized interest in 2009.

The gain on debt extinguishment of $3.9 million is attributable to the purchase of our convertible debt at a discount in 2009.

The gain on sale of land of $0.8 million in the Core Portfolio relates to a land parcel sale at Bloomfield Town Square in 2008.

The variance in income tax provision in the Core Portfolio primarily relates to income taxes at the taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) level as a result of additional taxable income.

Income from discontinued operations represents activity related to a property sold in 2008.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations for the Opportunity Funds primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all Opportunity Fund activity and ranges from a 77.8% interest in Fund I to an 80.1% interest in Fund III. The variance between 2009 and 2008 represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of all the Opportunity Funds variances discussed above. Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Continuing operations in Other relates to the noncontrolling interests’ share of capitalized construction, leasing and legal fees.

Loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries - Discontinued operations for the Opportunity Funds primarily represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of activity related to a property sold in 2008.

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, 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 the operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and amortization. However, our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.
 
The reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

USES OF LIQUIDITY

Our principal uses of liquidity are expected to be primarily for (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to our Opportunity Funds and property acquisitions and redevelopment/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, and (iii) debt service and loan repayments, including the repurchase of our Convertible Notes.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2009, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Common OP Units totaling $7.4 million and $14.4 million, respectively. In addition, in December of 2008, our Board of Trustees approved a special dividend of approximately $0.55 per share, or $18.0 million in the aggregate, which was associated with taxable gains arising from property dispositions in 2008, which was paid on January 30, 2009, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2008. Ninety percent of the special dividend was paid through the issuance of 1.3 million Common Shares and 10%, or $1.8 million, was paid in cash.

Fund II and Mervyns II

Reference is made to Notes 1 and 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of Fund II and Mervyns II. To date, Fund II’s primary investment focus has been in the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Initiative and the Retailer Controlled Property Venture.

Retailer Controlled Property Venture

Reference is made to Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of RCP investments made to date.

New York Urban Infill Redevelopment Initiative

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

Other Fund III Investments

During February 2008, Acadia, through Fund III, and in conjunction with an unaffiliated partner, Storage Post, acquired a portfolio of eleven self-storage properties from Storage Post’s existing institutional investors for approximately $174.0 million. The properties are located throughout New York and New Jersey. The portfolio continues to be operated by Storage Post, which is a 5% equity partner. During January 2009, Fund III purchased Cortlandt Towne Center for $78.0 million. The property is a 640,000 square foot shopping center located in Westchester County, NY, a trade area with high barriers to entry for regional and national retailers.

Preferred Equity Investment and Notes Receivable

Reference is made to Note 8 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for an overview of our preferred equity investment and notes receivable. At June 30, 2009, our preferred equity investment and notes receivable aggregated $124.5 million and accrued interest thereon of $10.9 million, and 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 preferred equity investment, mezzanine loan investments and notes receivable ranged from 9.50% to in excess of 20% with maturities through January 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we established a reserve of $1.7 million for a mezzanine loan receivable due to the loss of an anchor tenant at the underlying collateral property.

Purchase of Convertible Notes

Purchase of our Convertible Notes is another use of our liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we purchased $56.8 million in face amount of our outstanding Convertible Notes for $46.6 million.

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 June 30, 2009, management may repurchase up to approximately $7.5 million of our outstanding Common Shares under this program.

SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

We intend on using Fund III, as well as new funds that we may establish in the future, as the primary vehicles for our future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment initiative. Additional sources of capital for funding property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting and RCP Venture investments, are expected to be obtained primarily from (i) the issuance of public equity or debt instruments, (ii) cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities, (iii) additional debt financings, (iv) noncontrolling interests’ unfunded capital commitments of $86.4 million and $325.2 million for Funds II and III, respectively (v) future sales of existing properties.

As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $176.6 million of additional capacity under existing debt facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand of $107.7 million.

Shelf Registration Statement and Issuance of Equity

During April 2009, we filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of up to a total of $500.0 million of Common Shares, Preferred Shares and debt securities. During April 2009, we issued 5.75 million Common Shares and generated net proceeds of approximately $65.0 million.  The proceeds were primarily used to purchase a portion of our outstanding convertible notes payable and pay down existing lines of credit. Following this issuance, we have remaining capacity under this registration statement to issue up to approximately $350 million of these securities.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for us. On February 2, 2009, The Kroger Co. purchased the fee at six locations in Fund I’s Kroger/Safeway Portfolio for $14.6 million of which Fund I’s share of the sales proceeds amounted to $8.1 million after the repayment of the mortgage debt on these properties.

Financing and Debt

At June 30, 2009, mortgage and convertible notes payable aggregated $800.7 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $2.6 million, and were collateralized by 34 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness and convertible notes payable ranged from 0.94% to 7.18% with maturities that ranged from current to November 2032. Taking into consideration $73.2 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $464.8 million of the portfolio, or 58.0%, was fixed at a 5.52% weighted average interest rate and $335.9 million, or 42.0% was floating at a 2.02% weighted average interest rate. There is $136.9 million of debt maturing in 2009 at weighted average interest rates of 3.16%.  Of this amount, $6.3 million represents scheduled annual amortization.  The loans relating to $97.5 million of the 2009 maturities provide for extension options, which we believe we will be able to exercise.  If we are unable to extend these loans and refinance the balance of $33.1 million, we believe we will be able to repay this debt with existing liquidity, including unfunded capital commitments from the Opportunity Fund investors.  As it relates to maturities after 2009, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, we may have to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.  Given the current lack of liquidity in the credit markets and the current economic recession, which may cause us to lose tenants or not secure new tenants for existing centers or projects under development, refinancing this debt will be very difficult.  See the “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” including the discussions under the headings “The current global financial crisis may cause us to lose tenants and may impair our ability to borrow money to purchase properties, refinance existing debt or obtain the necessary financing to complete our current redevelopment” in our 2008 Form 10-K.

We completed the following transactions related to mortgage loans during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and subsequent thereto:

i) borrowed $17.5 million on three existing construction loans

ii) paid off $4.8 million of self-amortizing debt

iii) closed on a $19.0 million loan that bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points and matures on January 15, 2010. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay a maturing loan of $19.0 million

iv) extended a credit facility, with a balance of $53.7 million,  that was to mature March 1, 2009 for one year and adjusted the interest rate from LIBOR plus 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points

v) extended a $11.4 million note that was to mature on May 18, 2009 to July 18, 2009. On July 18, 2009, this note was paid down by $0.9 million and extended to July 19, 2010 at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 325 basis points with a one year extension option

vi) closed on a $4.8 million loan that bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.35% and matures on July 1, 2014

vii) paid off $1.1 million of principal on an outstanding loan; and

viii) closed on a $45.0 million loan secured by a property with interest of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, a maturity date of July 29, 2012 and two one-year extension options. The loan has a future advance option of up to $2.0 million to be drawn upon completion of tenant improvements.

During the second quarter 2009, we paid down $41.9 million on existing lines of credit which increased the amount available under credit facilities. Reference is made to Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 in this Form 10-Q for a table which sets forth certain information pertaining to the Company’s secured credit facilities.

In June 2009, the servicer of two of the Company’s loans alleged that non-monetary defaults had occurred for two construction loans for $31.0 million and $9.4 million collateralized by the Pelham Manor Shopping Center and Atlantic Avenue, respectively. The servicer contends that the Company did not substantially complete the improvements in accordance with the required completion dates as defined in the loan agreements and, accordingly, did not meet the requirements for the final draws. The Company does not believe the loans are in default and will vigorously defend its position and is currently in discussions with the servicer to resolve these issues. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, we have arranged for the provision of five separate letters of credit in connection with certain leases and investments. As of June 30, 2009, there were no outstanding balances under any of these letters of credit. If these letters of credit were fully drawn, the combined maximum amount of exposure would be $11.8 million.

A discussion of the significant changes in cash flow for 2009 versus 2008 is as follows:

An increase of $44.5 million in net cash provided by operating activities resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily other assets and funding of escrows. The change in other assets was the result of additional cash used for the purchase of short-term financial instruments in 2008 and the subsequent redemption of these financial instruments in 2009. The variance in funding of escrows was attributable to the funding of our tax deferred property exchange transactions in 2008.

A decrease of $109.1 million of net cash used in investing activities resulted from the following: (i) a decrease of $78.2 million in expenditures for real estate, development and tenant installations in 2009 and (ii) a $40.0 million preferred equity investment in 2008. These decreases in cash used were offset by an additional $14.1 million in proceeds from the sale of properties in 2008.

The $39.4 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was attributable to the following decreases in cash for 2009: (i) a decrease of $46.0 million in capital contributions from noncontrolling interests in 2009, (ii) a decrease of $15.8 million from borrowings in 2009, (iii) an additional $46.6 million of cash used for the purchase of convertible notes in 2009, and (iv) $6.8 million of additional cash used for repayment of debt in 2009. These 2009 cash decreases were offset by the following: (i) $65.2 million of additional cash from the issuance of Common Shares, net of costs, in 2009 (ii) a decrease of $5.2 million in cash dividends paid to Common Shareholders in 2009, and (iii) an additional $4.7 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests in 2008.

INFLATION

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

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage debt. See the discussion under Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage debt.

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2009, we had total mortgage debt and convertible notes payable of $800.7 million, net of unamortized premium of $0.1 million and unamortized discount of $2.6 million, of which $464.8 million or 58.0% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $335.9 million, or 42.0% was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or commercial paper rates plus certain spreads. As of June 30, 2009, we were a party to seven interest rate swap transactions and one interest rate cap transaction to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $73.2 million and $30.0 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Of our total consolidated outstanding debt, $136.9 million and $146.2 million will become due in 2009 and 2010, 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 $2.8 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interest, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.9 million.

Interest expense on our consolidated variable-rate debt, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of June 30, 2009 would increase by $3.4 million annually if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interest, the Company’s share of this increase would be $0.6 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.
