Fordham Road and Webster Avenue, near Fordham University, one of the strongest retail areas in The Bronx and the third largest retail corridor in New York City, with over 650,000 people in a two-mile radius and retail sales in excess of $500 million. Sears is the major tenant of the property, retailing on four levels. The redevelopment of the property is scheduled to commence in 2007 following the expiration of the Sears lease, which was originally signed in 1964. However, depending on current negotiations with both Sears and other potential anchors, the timeframe of the redevelopment may be accelerated. The strength of the retail market in The Bronx is evidenced by core retail rents exceeding $75 per square foot with many retailers utilizing multi-level formats. As part of the redevelopment, there is the potential for additional expansion of up to 85,000 square feet of space. The total cost of the redevelopment project, including the acquisition cost of $30 million, is estimated to be between $65 and $70 million, depending on the ultimate scope of the project.
Pelham Manor - On October 1, 2004, Fund II initiated its second urban/infill project in conjunction with P/A. Fund II entered into a 95-year ground lease to redevelop a 16-acre site in Pelham Manor, Westchester County, New York. The property is in an upper middle-income, infill neighborhood located approximately 10 miles from Manhattan with over 400,000 people in a three-mile radius. The redevelopment contemplates the demolition of the existing industrial and warehouse buildings, and replacing them with a multi-anchor community retail center. The Company anticipates the redevelopment to cost between $30 and $33 million, with construction anticipated to commence within the next 12 to 24 months. In the interim, the property will continue to be operated as an industrial and warehouse facility. Prior to commencement of the redevelopment process, the ground rent payment is projected to equal the warehouse rents collected.
RCP Venture with Klaff Realty, L.P. (“Klaff”)
On January 27, 2004, the Company entered into the Retailer Controlled Property Venture (the “RCP Venture”) with Klaff and Klaff’s long time capital partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The initial size of the RCP Venture is expected to be approximately $300 million in equity based on anticipated investments of approximately $1 billion. Each participant in the RCP Venture has the right to opt out of any potential investment. The Company and its current acquisition funds, Funds I and II, anticipate investing 20% of the equity of the RCP Venture. Cash flow is to be distributed to the partners until they have received a 10% cumulative return and a full return of all contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is to be distributed 20% to Klaff (“Klaff’s Promote”) and 80% to the partners (including Klaff). The Company will also earn market-rate fees for property management, leasing and construction services on behalf of the RCP Venture.
In September 2004, the Company made its first RCP Venture investment with its participation in the acquisition of Mervyn’s. Affiliates of Funds I and Fund II, through separately organized, newly formed limited liability companies on a non-recourse basis, invested in the acquisition of Mervyn’s through the RCP Venture, which, as part of an investment consortium of Sun Capital and Cerberus, acquired Mervyn’s from Target Corporation. The total acquisition price was approximately $1.2 billion subject to debt of approximately $800.0 million. Affiliates of Funds I and II invested equity aggregating $23.2 million on a non-recourse basis which was divided equally between them, of which $4.9 million was the company’ total share of the equity investment. Mervyn’s is a 257-store discount retailer with a very strong West Coast concentration. The majority of the stores are well-located in high-barrier to entry markets, which we believe gives a recapitalized and refocused operator the opportunity to create a productive retail platform and subsequent future value.
In January 2004, the Company acquired Klaff’s rights to provide asset management, leasing, disposition, development and construction services for an existing portfolio of retail properties and/or leasehold interests comprised of approximately 10 million square feet of retail space located throughout the United States (the “Klaff Properties”). The acquisition involves only Klaff’s rights associated with operating the Klaff Properties and does not include equity interests in assets owned by Klaff or Lubert-Adler. The Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million of Series B Preferred OP Units to Klaff in consideration of this acquisition.
On March 18, 2004, the Company provided a $3.0 million mezzanine loan to an unrelated entity. The loan is for a term of three years with interest of 11% for year one, 10% for year two and prime plus 6% for year three.
On April 8, 2004, the Company provided a $3.6 million mezzanine loan to an unrelated party. The loan carried interest at the rate of 15%. The loan was paid in full on June 23, 2004, which resulted in an additional 10% interest pre-payment penalty over the period the loan was outstanding.
In March of 2005, the Company invested $20 million in a preferred equity position (“Preferred Equity”) with Levitz SL, L.L.C. (“Levitz SL”), the owner of 2.5 million square feet of fee and leasehold interests in 30 locations (the “Properties”), the majority of which are currently leased to Levitz Furniture Stores. Klaff is a managing member of Levitz SL. The Preferred Equity receives a return of 10%, plus a minimum return of capital of $2 million per annum. At the end of 12 months, the rate of return will be reset to the six-month LIBOR plus 644 basis points. The Preferred Equity is redeemable at the option of Levitz SL at any time, although if redeemed during the first 12 months, the redemption price is equal to the outstanding amount of the Preferred Equity, plus the return calculated for the remainder of the 12-month period.
The Company’s redevelopment program focuses on selecting well-located neighborhood and community shopping centers and creating significant value through re-tenanting and property redevelopment. During 2004, the Company substantially completed the redevelopment of two shopping centers as follows:
During 2004, the Company completed the redevelopment of the New Loudon Center, located in Latham, New York. A new anchor, The Bon Ton Department Store, opened for business during the fourth quarter of 2003 as part of the redevelopment of this shopping center. Occupying 66,000 square feet formerly occupied by an Ames department store, Bon Ton is paying base rent at a 15% increase over that of Ames. During 2004, Marshall’s, an existing tenant at the center, expanded its current 26,000 square foot store to 37,000 square feet. The Company also installed a new 49,000 square foot Raymour and Flanigan Furniture store at this center during 2004. This community shopping center is now 100% occupied. Total costs incurred by the Company for this project totaled $418,000.
The Company has re-anchored the Town Line Plaza, located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut,, with a new Super Stop & Shop supermarket, replacing a former GU Markets supermarket. The former building was demolished and replaced with a 66,000 square foot Super Stop & Shop. The new supermarket anchor is paying gross rent at a 33% increase over that of the former tenant with no interruption in rent payments. Total costs incurred by the Company for this project totaled $1.7 million.
Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company currently estimates that capital outlays of approximately $ 4.0 million to $7.0 million will be required for tenant improvements, related renovations and other property improvements.
Share Repurchase
The Company’s repurchase of its Common Shares is an additional use of liquidity. Upon completion of a tender offer in February 2002, the Company purchased a total of 5,523,974 Common Shares and Common OP Units (collectively, “Shares”), comprised of 4,136,321 Common Shares and 1,387,653 Common OP Units (which were converted to Common Shares upon tender), at a Purchase Price of $6.05 per Share. The aggregate purchase price paid for the 5,523,974 Shares was $33.4 million. In addition to the tender offer, the Company has an existing share repurchase program that authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. Through March 14, 2005, the Company had repurchased 2.1 million Common Shares at a total cost of $11.7 million of which 1.4 million of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued. The program may be discontinued or extended at any time and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full amount authorized. There were no Common Shares repurchased by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY
The Company intends on using Funds I and II as the primary vehicles for future acquisitions, including investments in the RCP Venture and New York Urban/Infill /redevelopment initiative. Sources of capital for funding the Company’s joint venture commitments, other property acquisitions, redevelopment, expansion and re-tenanting, as well as future repurchases of Common Shares are expected to be obtained primarily from issuance of public equity or debt instruments, cash on hand, additional debt financings and future sales of existing properties. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a total of approximately $33.4 million of additional capacity with four line of credit facilities, cash and cash equivalents on hand of $13.5 million, and 15 properties that are unencumbered and available as potential collateral for future borrowings. The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all debt service payments, recurring capital expenditures and REIT distribution requirements.
Issuance of Equity
During November 2004, the Company issued 1,890,000 Common Shares (the “Offering”). The $28.3 million in proceeds to the Company from the Offering, net of related costs, were used to retire above-market, fixed-rate indebtedness as well as to invest in real estate assets.
Financing and Debt
At December 31, 2004, mortgage notes payable aggregated $153.4 million and were collateralized by 16 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on the Company’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness ranged from 3.8% to 7.6% with maturities that ranged from July 2007 to September 2014. Taking into consideration $86.2 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $146.4 million of the portfolio, or 95%, was fixed at a 6.1% weighted average interest rate and $7.0 million, or 5% was floating at a 3.8% weighted average interest rate. There is no debt maturing in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, $12.5 million is scheduled to mature at a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. As the Company does not anticipate having sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, it will need to refinance this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions at that time.
The following summarizes the financing and refinancing transactions since December 31, 2003:
In January 2004, the Company entered into a forward starting swap agreement which commences April 1, 2005. The swap agreement, which extends through January 1, 2011, provides for a fixed rate of 4.345% on $37.7 million of notional principal.
31
In February 2004, the Company entered into three forward starting swap agreements as follows:
Commencement Date | | Maturity Date | | Notional Principal | | Rate | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
10/2/2006 | | | 10/1/2011 | | $ | 11.4 million | | | 4.895 | % |
10/2/2006 | | | 1/1/2010 | | $ | 4.6 million | | | 4.710 | % |
6/1/2007 | | | 3/1/2012 | | $ | 8.4 million | | | 5.140 | % |
On March 11, 2004, the Company drew down $4.5 million under an existing $20.0 million revolving facility and $4.5 million under an existing $7.4 million revolving facility.
On March 26, 2004, the Company paid down $10.4 million and modified and extended $40.0 million of an existing $50.4 million loan with a bank. The loan, secured by two of the Company’s properties, now matures April 1, 2011 and requires the monthly payment of interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points and principal amortized over 30 years.
On April 19, 2004, a $1.4 million letter of credit was placed with a lender in the Company’s name. This letter of credit was necessary to maintain coverage ratios following the rejection of a tenant’s lease at a Fund I property.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company drew down an additional $8.0 million under an existing $20.0 million revolving facility and an additional $2.5 million under an existing $7.4 million revolving facility. The balances on these revolving facilities were paid in full during the third quarter of 2004.
On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $45.9 million cross collateralized revolving facility, which is collateralized by five of the Company’s properties. The existing combined outstanding debt of $23.0 million was modified to allow the Company to borrow an additional $22.9 million. The facility matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points. The Company drew down $16.8 million under this facility on June 30, 2004, of which the proceeds from the additional borrowings were used to pay down the two revolving facilities mentioned above. During the third quarter of 2004, the Company drew down an additional $4.7 million on this facility.
On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $12.1 million revolving facility secured by one of its properties. The existing outstanding debt of $8.9 million was modified to allow the Company to borrow an additional $3.2 million. The facility matures in 2012 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points.
On August 13, 2004, the Company refinanced an existing $7.9 million floating rate mortgage loan with a $15 million fixed rate mortgage loan maturing in 2014. The terms of the new mortgage loan, bearing interest at 5.6%, provide for interest-only payments for two years, and principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization with a balloon payment due at maturity of $13.1 million. In connection with the refinancing, the Company was required to prepay $1.6 million of debt collateralized by two other properties, and pay a prepayment penalty of $0.1 million.
On September 28, 2004, the Company drew down $20 million from existing lines of credit from two different banks. The proceeds from these borrowings were utilized to advance $18 million to Fund II as a bridge loan to finance Fund II’s acquisition of a property located in The Bronx, New York. Fund II’s advance was repaid upon financing of the acquisition with a bank during the fourth quarter 2004.
On December 1, 2004, the Company paid down $0.8 million of outstanding balance on a line of credit and fully repaid $13.0 million from two other lines of credit.
During December of 2004, the Company retired $33.4 million of mortgage debts with two banks.
In connection with the sale of the East End Centre, the Company extinguished $23.8 million of 8.13% fixed-rate mortgage debt which was scheduled to mature in 2010 and cross-collateralized by the East End Centre and Crescent Plaza.
Asset Sales
Asset sales are an additional source of liquidity for the Company. A significant component of the Company’s business has been its multi-year plan to dispose of non-core real estate assets. The Company began this initiative following the RDC Transaction and completed it in 2002. Non-core assets were identified based on factors including property type and location, tenant mix and potential income growth as well as whether a property complemented other assets within the Company’s portfolio. The Company sold 28 non-core assets in connection with this initiative comprising a total of approximately 4.6 million square feet of retail properties and 800 multi-family units, for a total sales price of $158.4 million which generated net sale proceeds to the Company of $82.5 million.
Although the Company completed the non-core disposition initiative in 2002, it continues to identify non-core assets within its potfolio. During November of 2004, Acadia disposed of the East End Centre located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania for approximately $12.4 million. In connection with this sale, the mortgage debt which was cross-collateralized by the East End Centre and Crescent Plaza was extinguished.
Additionally the Company completed the following two land sales in 2003 and 2002:
In January 2002, the Company, with a joint venture partner, purchased a three-acre site located in the Bronx, New York for $3.1 million. Simultaneously, the Company sold approximately 46% of the land to a self-storage facility for $3.3 million. The Company’s share of net proceeds totaled $1.4 million. The Company currently plans to build and lease a 15,000 square foot retail building on the remaining parcel.
32
On November 8, 2002, a joint venture between the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner completed the sale of a contract to purchase land in Bethel, Connecticut, to the Target Corporation for $2.4 million. The joint venture received a $1.6 million note receivable for the net purchase price and additional reimbursements due from the buyer, which was paid in full during 2003. The Company’s share of the net proceeds totaled $1.4 million.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2004, maturities on the Company’s mortgage notes ranged from July 2007 to September 2014. In addition, the Company has non-cancelable ground leases at three of its shopping centers. The Company also leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. The following table summarizes the Company’s debt maturities, excluding scheduled monthly amortization payments, and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases of December 31, 2004:

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has investments in three joint ventures for the purpose of investing in operating properties as follows:
The Company owns a 49% interest in two partnerships which own the Crossroads Shopping Center (“Crossroads”). The Company accounts for its investment in Crossroads using the equity method of accounting as it has a non-controlling investment in Crossroads, but exercises significant influence. As such, the Company’s financial statements reflect its share of income from, but not the assets and liabilities of, Crossroads. The Company’s pro rata share of Crossroads mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $31.4 million. This fixed-rate debt, which was refinanced in October of 2004, bears interest at 5.4% and matures in December 2014 In connection with the refinancing, the Company paid $1.3 million to settle two variable to fixed-rate swap agreements which served to hedge the former LIBOR based floating rate debt.
Reference is made to the discussion of Funds I and II under “Uses of Liquidity” in this Item 7 for additional detail related to the Company’s investment in and commitments to Funds I and II. The Company owns a 22% interest in Fund I and 20% in Fund II for which it also uses the equity method of accounting. The Company’s pro rata share of Funds I and II fixed-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $21.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The Company’s pro rata share of Fund I and II variable-rate mortgage debt as of December 31, 2004 was $5.7 million at an interest rate of 4.3%. Maturities on these loans range from May 2005 to January 2023.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following discussion of historical cash flow compares the Company’s cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004’) with the Company’s cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003”).
Cash and cash equivalents were $13.5 million and $14.1 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease of $0.6 million was a result of the following increases and decreases in cash flows:
| | Years Ended December 31, | |
| |
| |
(amounts in millions) | | 2004 | | 2003 | | Variance | |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 23.8 | | $ | 18.6 | | $ | 5.2 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (14.7 | ) | | (19.4 | ) | | 4.7 | |
Net cash used in financing activities | | | (9.8 | ) | | (30.2 | ) | | 20.4 | |
The variance in net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from an increase of $4.4 million in operating income before non-cash expenses in 2004, which was primarily due to an increase in rents following the redevelopment of the Gateway shopping center, re-tenanting activities and an increase in management fee income.
33
The variance in net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of an additional $15.2 million of distributions received from unconsolidated partnerships in 2004, a $2.5 million earn-out payment in 2003 related to a redevelopment project and a $6.2 million decrease in expenditures for real estate acquisitions, development and tenant installations during 2004. In addition, $0.9 million of proceeds from the sale of land were received in 2004. These increases were offset by additional investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships of $10.4 million in 2004 as well as $10.4 million of notes issued in 2004.
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities resulted from $28.3 of proceeds received in 2004 related to the issuance of Common Shares and $9.3 million of cash provided by the exercise of stock options in 2004. These decreases were partially offset by $12.8 million of additional cash used in 2004 for net repayments of outstanding mortgage debt , $2.8 million of additional cash paid for dividends and distributions on Common OP Units in 2004, $1.4 million of cash used for additional deferred financing costs in 2004 and $1.3 million of cash used to terminate a derivative instrument in 2004.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s 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. The Company 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. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Property Held for Use and Sale
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the carrying value of both properties held for use and for sale. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the year ended December 31, 2002, an impairment loss of $0.2 million was recognized related to properties which were held for sale and subsequently sold. Management does not believe that the value of any properties in its portfolio was impaired as of December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Bad Debts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents, as well as the likelihood that tenants will not have the ability to make payment on unbilled rents including estimated expense recoveries and straight-line rent. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.8 million. If the financial condition of the Company’s tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
INFLATION
The Company’s long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on the Company’s net income. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company 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 the Company’s leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if current rents are below the then existing market rates. Most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to the Company’s mortgage debt. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain quantitative details related to the Company’s mortgage debt.
Currently, the Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap agreements As of December 31, 2004, the Company had total mortgage debt of $153.4 million of which $146.4 million, or 95% was fixed-rate, inclusive of interest rate swaps, and $7.0 million, or 5%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was a party to five interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $86.2 million of LIBOR based variable-rate debt. The Company also has four forward-starting interest rate swaps which commence during 2005, 2006 and 2007 and mature from 2010 to 2012 that will hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $62.2 million of refinanced LIBOR-based variable rate debt with the matching maturities.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2004 concerning the Company’s long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (amounts in millions):

Of the Company’s total outstanding debt, $12.5 million will become due in 2007. As the Company intends on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates which may be greater than the current interest rate, the Company’s interest expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. Interest expense on the Company’s variable debt as of December 31, 2004 would not increase materially as the Company has only $7.0 million of floating rate debt after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps hedging $86.2 million of notional principal. The Company may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Acadia Realty Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework , our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this item 9A.

(b) Attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
36
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Acadia Realty Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Shareholders and Trustees of
Acadia Realty Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Acadia Realty Trust and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company”) is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which specializes in the acquisition, redevelopment and operation of shopping centers which are anchored by grocery and value-oriented retail.
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 its majority owned partnerships. As of December 31, 2004, the Company controlled 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Company is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners represent entities or individuals who contributed their interests in certain properties or partnerships to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common or Preferred OP Units”). Limited partners holding Common OP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT”.
On August 12, 1998, the Company completed a major reorganization (“RDC Transaction”) in which it acquired twelve shopping centers, five multi-family properties and a 49% interest in one shopping center along with certain third party management contracts and promissory notes from real estate investment partnerships (“RDC Funds”) managed by affiliates of RD Capital, Inc. In exchange for these and a cash investment of $100,000, the Company issued 11.1 million Common OP Units and 15.3 million Common Shares to the RDC Funds. After giving effect to the conversion of the Common OP Units, the RDC Funds beneficially owned 72% of the Common Shares as of the closing of the RDC Transaction. During February of 2003, the Company issued OP Units and cash valued at $2,750 to certain limited partners in connection with an obligation from the RDC Transaction. The payment was due upon the commencement of rental payments from a designated tenant at one of the properties acquired in the RDC Transaction.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company operated 69 properties, which it owns or has an ownership interest in, consisting of 64 neighborhood and community shopping centers, one shopping center under development, one enclosed mall, one mixed-use property (retail/residential) and two multi-family properties, which are located primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United States and, in total, comprise approximately 9.6 million square feet.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its majority owned partnerships, including the Operating Partnership. Non-controlling investments in partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence.
Variable interest entities within the scope of Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”) are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Management has evaluated the applicability of FIN 46-R to its investments in certain joint ventures and determined that these joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a variable interest entity and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Properties
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for acquisition, development, construction and improvement of properties, as well as significant renovations are capitalized. Interest costs are capitalized until construction is substantially complete. Construction in progress includes costs for significant shopping center expansion and redevelopment. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings and the shorter of the useful life or lease term for improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event, or change in circumstances that indicates impairment in value. The Company records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying cost to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended December 31, 2002, an impairment loss of $197 was recognized related to a property that was sold as of December 31, 2002. Management does not believe that the values of its properties within the portfolio are impaired as of December 31, 2004.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs paid in the successful negotiation of leases have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Fees and costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related debt obligation.
Management Contracts
Income from management contracts, net of submanagement fees, is recognized on an accrual basis as such fees are earned. The initial acquisition cost of the management contracts is being amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts acquired.
Revenue Recognition
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 unbilled rents receivable relating to straight-lining of rents were $6,506 and $5,873, respectively.
Percentage rents are recognized in the period when the tenant sales breakpoint is met.
Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred.
An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided against certain tenant accounts receivable that are estimated to be uncollectible. Rents receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,841 and $2,420, respectively.
Interest income from notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis based on the contractual terms of the notes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Cash in Escrow
Cash in escrow consists principally of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, minimum occupancy and property operating income requirements at specific properties as required by certain loan agreements.

Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed, and believes it qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 858 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain REIT status for federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as well as comply with certain other requirements as defined by the Code. The Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income each year. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes for the Company in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to state income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located. These state taxes, which in total are not significant, are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based Compensation
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). As such, all stock options granted after December 31, 2001 are reflected as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements over their vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted. As provided for in SFAS No. 123, the Company elected the “prospective method” for the adoption of the fair value basis method of accounting for employee stock options. Under this method, the recognition provisions will be applied to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2002.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for stock options granted prior to January 1, 2002. See Note 11 – “Share Incentive Plan” for the assumptions utilized in valuing stock options:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153: Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 on June 15, 2005 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123: (Revised 2004) - Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisition and Disposition of Properties
Currently the primary vehicle for the Company’s acquisitions are through its acquisition joint ventures (Note 4).
A significant component of the Company’s business plan in prior years was also the disposition of non-core real estate assets. Under this initiative, which was completed in 2002, the Company sold a total of two apartment complexes and 23 shopping centers.
Dispositions relate to the sale of shopping centers, multi-family properties and land. Gains from these sales are recognized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”.

On November 8, 2002, the Company and an unaffiliated joint venture partner completed the sale of a contract to purchase land in Bethel, Connecticut, to the Target Corporation for $1,540 after closing and other related costs. The joint venture received a $1,632 note receivable for the net purchase price and additional reimbursements due from the buyer and deferred recognition of the gain on sale in accordance with SFAS No. 66. The note was paid in full on January 10, 2003, and as such, the Company’s share of the deferred gain, or $634, was recognized in 2003. Additional amounts held in escrow from the closing of $932 were released to the Company during 2004 and recognized as additional gain. Of this amount, $466 was attributable to the Company’s joint venture partner and reflected in minority interest in the accompany consolidated statement of income.
On October 11, 2002, the Company sold the Manahawkin Village Shopping Center and Valmont Plaza for $16,825 to two entities affiliated with each other.

The joint venture is currently redeveloping the remaining parcel
Discontinued Operations
SFAS No. 144 requires discontinued operations presentation for disposals of a “component” of an entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, for all periods presented, the company reclassified its consolidated statements of income to reflect income and expenses for properties which became held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2001, as discontinued operations and reclassified its consolidated balance sheets to reflect assets and liabilities related to such properties as assets related to discontinued operations and liabilities related to discontinued operations.

3. Segment Reporting
The Company has two reportable segments: retail properties and multi-family properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items. The reportable segments are managed separately due to the differing nature of the leases and property operations associated with the retail versus residential tenants. The following table sets forth certain segment information for the Company, reclassified for discontinued operations, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 (does not include unconsolidated partnerships):

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Partnerships, continued
Acquisitions completed during 2004 and 2003 were as follows:
On March 11, 2004, Fund I, in conjunction with the Company’s long-time investment partner, Hendon Properties (“Hendon”), purchased a $9,600 first mortgage loan from New York Life Insurance Company for $5,500. The loan, which was secured by a 235,000 square foot shopping center in Aiken, South Carolina, was in default at acquisition. Fund I and Hendon acquired the loan with the intention of pursuing ownership of the property securing the debt. Fund I provided 90% of the equity capital and Hendon provided the remaining 10% of the equity capital used to acquire the loan. Hendon is entitled to receive profit participation in excess of its proportionate equity interest. The property is currently anchored by a Kroger supermarket and was only 56% occupied at acquisition due to the vacancy of a former Kmart store. Subsequent to the acquisition of the loan, Fund I and Hendon obtained fee title to this property and currently plan to redevelop and re-anchor the center. The Company loaned $3,150 to Fund I in connection with the purchase of the first mortgage loan. The note matures March 9, 2006, and bears interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year. In addition to its loan to Fund I, the Company invested approximately $900, primarily its pro-rata share of equity as a partner in Fund I. In September 2004, Fund I and Hendon purchased the Pine Log Plaza for $1,500. The 35,000 square foot center is located in front of and adjacent to the Hitchcock Plaza. Related to this transaction, the Company provided an additional $750 loan to Fund I with a March 2006 maturity and interest at 7% for the first year and 6% for the second year.
In May 2004, Fund I acquired a 50% interest in Haygood Shopping Center and Sterling Heights Shopping Center for an aggregate investment of $3,184. These assets are part of the portfolio that the Company currently manages as a result of its January 2004 acquisition of certain management contracts. The Haygood Shopping Center is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Sterling Heights Shopping Center is a 141,000 square foot shopping center located in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
In May 2004, Fund I and an unaffiliated partner, each with a 50% interest, acquired a 35,000 square foot shopping center in Tarrytown, New York, for approximately $5,300. Related to this acquisition, the Company loaned $2,000 to Fund I which bears interest at the prime rate and matures May 2005.
In January 2003, Fund I and an unaffiliated joint venture party acquired a one million square foot supermarket portfolio consisting of twenty-five anchor-only leases with either Kroger or Safeway supermarkets (“Kroger/Safeway Portfolio”). The portfolio was acquired through long-term ground leases with terms, including renewal options, averaging in excess of 80 years, which are master leased to a non-affiliated entity. The purchase price of $48,900 (inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs) included the assumption of $34,450 of existing fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted-average rate of 6.6%. The mortgage debt fully amortizes over the next seven years, which is coterminous with the primary lease term of the supermarket leases. Fund I invested $11,250 of the equity capitalization of which the Company’s share was $2,500.
In January 2003, Fund I acquired a one million square foot portfolio for an initial purchase price of $86,287, inclusive of closing and other related acquisition costs. The portfolio consists of two shopping centers located in Wilmington, Delaware (“Brandywine Portfolio”). A portion of one of the properties is currently unoccupied, which Fund I will pay for on an “earn-out” basis only when it is leased. To date, Fund I has incurred costs of $20,600 for Earn-out space. At closing, Fund I assumed $38,082 of fixed-rate debt which bears interest at a weighted average rate of 6.2% as well as obtained an additional fixed-rate loan of $30,000 which bears interest at 4.7%. Fund I invested equity of $19,270 in the acquisition, of which the Company’s share was $4,282.
The Company accounts for its investment in Fund I using the equity method. Summary financial information of Fund I and the Company’s investment in and share of income from Fund I is as follows:

6. Mortgage Loans
At December 31, 2004, mortgage notes payable aggregated $153,361 and were collateralized by 15 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates ranged from 3.8% to 7.6%. Taking into consideration $86,156 of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $146,407 of the portfolio, or 95%, was fixed at a 6.1% weighted average interest rate and $6,954, or 5% was floating at a 3.8% weighted average interest rate. Mortgage payments are due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature on various dates through 2014. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted.

Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios.

In connection with the refinancing, the Company was required to prepay $1,587 of debt collateralized by two other properties, and pay a prepayment penalty of $95.
On June 30, 2004, the Company closed on a $45,900 cross collateralized revolving facility, which is collateralized by five of the Company’s properties.

7. Shareholders’ Equity and Minority Interests
Common Shares
In March of 2004, a secondary public offering was completed for a total of 5,750,000 Common Shares. The selling shareholders, Yale University and its affiliates (“Yale”) and Ross Dworman, a former trustee, sold 4,191,386 and 1,558,614 Common Shares, respectively. The Company did not sell any Common Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.

7. Shareholders’ Equity and Minority Interests, continued
In May 2004, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which currently owns approximately 2% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases. This waiver of the Company’s share ownership limitation will permit this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 3% of the Company’s shares through December 31, 2004, or an aggregate of up to 5% of the Company’s Common Shares.
During 2003, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution permitting one of its institutional shareholders, which currently owns 6% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, to acquire additional shares through open market purchases. This waiver of the Company’s Common Shares ownership limitation, which was approved in response to a request from this institutional investor, permited this shareholder to acquire up to an additional 3.7% of the Company’s Common Shares through March 31, 2004, or an aggregate of up to 9.7% of the Company’s Common Shares.
Through December 31, 2004, the Company had repurchased 2,051,605 Common Shares at a total cost of $11,650 (of which 1,425,643 of these Common Shares have been subsequently reissued) under the expanded share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $20,000 of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares. The repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction of par value and additional paid-in capital.
Minority Interests
Minority interest in Operating Partnership represents the limited partners’ interest of 392,255 and 1,139,017 units in the Operating Partnership (“Common OP Units”) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, various limited partners converted a total of 746,762 and 2,058,804 Common OP Units into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, respectively. Mr. Dworman, a trustee of the Company, received 34,841 of Common OP Units through various affiliated entities during 2003 (Note 8).
Minority interest in Operating Partnership also includes 1,580 units of preferred limited partnership interests designated as Series A Preferred Units at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and 4,000 preferred limited partnership interests designated as Series B Preferred Units at December 31, 2004.
The Series A Preferred OP Units were issued on November 16, 1999 in connection with the acquisition of all the partnership interests of the limited partnership which owns the Pacesetter Park Shopping Center. Certain Series A Preferred OP Unit holders converted 632 Series A Preferred OP Units into 84,267 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares during 2003. The Series A Preferred OP Units, which have a stated value of $1,000 each, are entitled to a quarterly preferred distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. After the seventh anniversary following their issuance, either the Company or the holders can call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.
The Series B Preferred OP Units were issued to Klaff Realty LP (“Klaff”) in January 2004 in consideration for the acquisition of certain management contract rights. The Series B Preferred OP Units, with a stated value of a $1,000 each, are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $13.00 (5.2% annually) per unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series B Preferred OP Unit if such unit were converted into a Common OP Unit. The Series B Preferred OP Units are convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value of $1,000 divided by $12.82 at any time. The Company’s Board of Trustees approved a waiver on February 24, 2004, which allows Klaff to redeem 1,500 Series B Preferred OP Units at any time for cash. As of December 31, 2004, none of these units have been redeemed.
Minority interests in majority-owned partnerships represent third party interests in four properties in which the Company has a majority ownership position.

9. Tenant Leases
Space in the shopping centers and other retail properties is leased to various tenants under operating leases that usually grant tenants renewal options and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volume.
Minimum future rentals to be received under non-cancelable leases for shopping centers and other retail properties as of December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows:
2005 | | $ | 42,868 | |

Minimum future rentals above include a total of $4,805 for two tenants (with three leases), which have filed for bankruptcy protection. None of these leases have been rejected nor affirmed. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no single tenant collectively accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.
10. Lease Obligations
The Company leases land at four of its shopping centers, which are accounted for as operating leases and generally provide the Company with renewal options. Ground rent expense was $791, $780 and $791 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The leases terminate during the years 2020 to 2066. One of these leases provides the Company with options to renew for additional terms aggregating from 20 to 44 years. The Company leases space for its White Plains corporate office for a term expiring in 2010. Office rent expense was $239, $242 and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

11. Share Incentive Plan
During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Share Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”), which replaced both the 1994 Share Option Plan and the 1994 Non-Employee Trustees’ Share Option Plan. The 1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of options equal to up to 8% of the total Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, not more than 4,000,000 of the Common Shares in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and no participant may receive more than 5,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 1999 Plan. Options are granted by the Share Option Plan Committee (the “Committee”), which currently consists of two non-employee Trustees, and will not have an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares and a term of greater than ten years at the grant date. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Committee with the exception of options granted to non-employee Trustees, which vest in five equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant. Pursuant to the 1999 Plan, non-employee Trustees receive an automatic grant of 1,000 options following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The 1999 Plan also provides for the granting of share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units/shares. Share appreciation rights provide for the participant to receive, upon exercise, cash and/or Common Shares, at the discretion of the committee, equal to the excess of the market value of the Common Shares at the exercise date over the market value of the Common Shares at the Grant Date. The Committee will determine the award and restrictions placed on restricted shares, including the dividends thereon and the term of such restrictions. The Committee also determines the award and vesting of performance units and performance shares based on the attainment of specified performance objectives of the Company within a specified performance period. Through December 31, 2004, no share appreciation rights or performance units/shares have been awarded.
During 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) because no Common Shares remained available for future grants under the 1999 Plan. The 2003 Plan provides for the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and performance units (collectively, “Awards”) to officers, employees and trustees of the Company and consultants to the Company. The 2003 Plan is generally identical to the 1999 Plan, except that the maximum number of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2003 Plan is four percent of the Common Shares outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis. However, no participant may receive more than 1,000,000 Common Shares during the term of the 2003 Plan with respect to Awards.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company has 464,650 options outstanding to officers and employees. These fully vested options are for ten-year terms from the grant date and, except for 10,000 options which vested fully as of the grant date, vested in three equal annual installments which began on the grant date. In addition, 26,000 options have been issued to non-employee Trustees of which 8,200 options were vested as of December 31, 2004.
During 2004, the Committee granted a total of 126,853 restricted shares ( net of subsequent forfeitures) pursuant to the 2003 Plan to certain employees of the Company (the “Recipients”). In general, the restricted shares carry all the rights of Common Shares including voting and dividend rights, but may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the Recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Vesting with respect to these restricted shares, which is subject to the Recipients’ continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting dates, is as follows:
| i. 85,157 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the grant date, January 2, 2004 (“Grant Date”) , |
| |
| ii. 20,848 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date, provided that in addition to the Recipients’ continued employment through the vesting date, the Company’s total shareholder return, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, is 8% or more either for such fiscal year or, on average, for such fiscal year and each other fiscal year occurring after January 2, 2004 – in which case vesting shall occur for any restricted shares that did not vest in a prior fiscal year based on this 8% condition. |
| |
| iii. 20,848 restricted shares vest 20% on each of the next five anniversaries of the Grant Date, provided that in addition to the Recipients’ continued employment through the vesting date, the Company’s total shareholder return, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, is 11% or more either for such fiscal year or, on average, for such fiscal year and each other fiscal year occurring after January 2, 2004 – in which case vesting shall occur for any restricted shares that did not vest in a prior fiscal year based on this 11% condition. |
The total value of the above restricted share awards on the date of grant was $1,586 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, 107,834 restricted shares were issued pursuant to the 2003 Plan. The total value of the restricted share awards on the date of grant was $752 which will be recognized in expense over the vesting period. No restricted shares were issued for the year ended December 31, 2002. No awards of share appreciation rights or performance units/shares were granted for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

11. Share Incentive Plan, continued
For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, $764, $410 and $121, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense related to restricted share grants. Unearned compensation of $1,400 as of December 31, 2004 will be recognized in expense as such shares vest.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. As such, stock based compensation awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date the stock-based compensation was granted.
The Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for purposes of estimating the fair value in determining compensation expense for options granted for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The Company has also used this model for the pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by SFAS No. 123 for options issued for the year ended December 31, 2001 as if the Company had also accounted for these employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for the options issued by the Company was estimated at the date of the grant using the following weighted-average assumptions resulting in:

12. Employee Stock Purchase and Deferred Share Plan
In 2003, the Company adopted the Acadia Realty Trust Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), which allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. The amount of the payroll deductions will not exceed a percentage of the participant’s annual compensation that the Committee establishes from time to time, and a participant may not purchase more than 1,000 Common Shares per quarter. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the average closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. During 2004 and 2003, 6,397 and 810 Common Shares, respectively, were purchased by Employees under the Purchase Plan and the associated compensation expense was $15 and $1, respectively.
In August of 2004, the Company adopted a Deferral and Distribution Election (“Deferred Share Election”) pursuant to the 1999 Share Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Incentive Plan, whereby the participants elected to defer receipt of 190,487 Common Shares (“Share Units”) that would otherwise be issued upon the exercise of certain options. The payment of the option exercise price was made by tendering Common Shares that the participants owned for at least six months prior to the option exercise date. The Share Units are equivalent to a Common Share on a one-for-one basis and carry a dividend equivalent right equal to the dividend rate for the Company’s Common shares. The deferral period is determined by each of the participants and generally terminates after the cessation of the participants continuous service with the Company, as defined in the agreement. In December 2004, optionees exercised 346,000 options pursuant to the Deferred Share Election and tendered 155,513 Common Shares in consideration of the option exercise price. The Company issued 155,513 Common Shares to optionees and 190,487 Share Units.
13. Employee 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation but not in excess of $13 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company contributed $109, $110, and $115 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
14. Dividends and Distributions Payable
On December 7, 2004, the Company declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 of $0.1725 per Common Share. The dividend was paid on January 14, 2005 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2004.
The Company has determined that the cash distributed to the shareholders is characterized as follows for Federal income tax purposes:

16. Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure on the fair value of financial instruments. Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restrictred Cash, Cash in Escrow, Rents Receivable, Notes Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Dividends and Distributions Payable, Due to Related Parties and Other Liabilities – The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such accounts.
Derivative Instruments – The fair value of these instruments is based upon the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and is determined using interest rate market pricing models.
Mortgage Notes Payable – As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of its mortgage notes payable are approximately $153,612 and $193,619, respectively, by discounting future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar mortgage notes payable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.
During November 2004, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $16,974 in connection with its investment in the Crossroads joint venture, which completed a refinancing of an existing variable-rate mortgage with a new fixed-rate mortgage. The fair value of these interest rate swaps was $1,307 which was paid by the Company to the counter-party at the termination date. This amount has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified as additional interest expense as the hedged forecasted interest payments occur. Of this amount, $62 was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as additional interest expense during 2004.
In June of 2002, the Company completed two interest rate swap transactions to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $25,047 of LIBOR based variable rate debt. These agreements, which are for $15,885 and $9,162 of notional principal, mature on January 1, 2007 and June 1, 2007, respectively and are at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 6.2%.
On July 10, 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $12,288 of LIBOR based variable-rate debt. The swap agreement, which matures on January 1, 2007, provides for a fixed all-in interest rate of 4.1%.
In January and February 2004, the Company entered into four forward starting variable to fixed interest rate swap agreements as described in the table below.

Notes: |
(1) Forward starting interest swap agreements |
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the derivative instruments were reported at fair value as derivative instrument liabilities of $2,136 and $5,860 (of which $1,816 was reflected as a reduction of investments in and advances to unconsolidated partnerships for 2003), respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, unrealized losses totaling $3,219 and $5,734 represented the fair value of the aforementioned derivatives, of which $3,180 and $5,505 was reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and $39 and $229 as a reduction of minority interest in Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded in interest expense an unrealized (loss) gain of ($37) and $51, respectively, due to partial ineffectiveness on one of the swaps which was terminated in November 2004. The ineffectiveness resulted from differences between the derivative notional and the principal amount of the hedged variable rate debt.
The Company’s interest rate hedges are designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on mortgage debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, such as those held by the Company, as well as interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income or earnings depending on the type of hedging relationship. For cash flow hedges, offsetting gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification occurs over the same time period in which the hedged items affect earnings. Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify to earnings as interest expense approximately $1,300 of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
17. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing the applicable net income to common shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during each year consistent with SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares or resulted in the issuance of Common Shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated

The weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include unvested restricted shares (Note 11) and Share Units that are entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments (Note 12). The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company conducts Phase I environmental reviews with respect to properties it acquires. These reviews include an investigation for the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Although such reviews are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject property as well as surrounding properties, there can be no assurance that the review conducted by the Company will be adequate to identify environmental or other problems that may exist. Where a Phase I assessment so recommended, a Phase II assessment was conducted to further determine the extent of possible environmental contamination. In all instances where a Phase I or II assessment has resulted in specific recommendations for remedial actions, the Company has either taken or scheduled the recommended remedial action. To mitigate unknown risks, the Company has obtained environmental insurance for most of its properties, which covers only unknown environmental risks.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that they believe would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company accrued estimated costs of $730 related to flood damage incurred at the Mark Plaza located Wilkes-Barre, PA. Under the terms of the Company’s insurance policy, a maximum deductible of approximately $730 would apply in the event the flood damage was the direct result of a “named” storm. The insurance company currently contends that the flood damage resulted directly from Hurricane Ivan, a “named” storm.
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, the Company’s management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, the Company’s resulting liability, if any, will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
