INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York ("Crossroads"), a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio") and an 88.43% tenancy-in-common interest in an 87,000 square foot retail property located in Chicago, Illinois ("840 N. Michigan"). The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

During January 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of a 49% interest in an approximately 123,000 square foot retail property located in Manhattan, New York ("Gotham Plaza"), for a purchase price of $39.8 million. Consideration for this purchase consisted of the assumption of 49% of the existing non-recourse debt of $21.4 million and the issuance of both Common and Preferred OP Units. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

During May 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of a 20% interest in a portfolio of 17 mixed-use properties, 16 of which are located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. and one which is located in Alexandria, Virginia (the "Renaissance Portfolio"). The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

The Company owns a 22.22% interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the "Brandywine Portfolio") located in Wilmington, Delaware. Prior to the second quarter of 2016, the Company had a controlling interest in the Brandywine Portfolio, and it was therefore consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. During the second quarter of 2016, the arrangement with the partners of the Brandywine Portfolio was modified to change the legal ownership from a partnership to a tenancy in common (“TIC”), as well as to provide certain participating rights to the outside partners. As a result of these modifications, the Company deconsolidated the Brandywine Portfolio and accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting. Furthermore, as the owners of the Brandywine Portfolio had consistent ownership interests before and after the modification and the underlying nets assets are unchanged, the Company has reflected the change from consolidation to equity method based upon its historical cost.

Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the outstanding balance of $140.0 million of non-recourse debt collateralized by the Brandywine Portfolio was repaid. The Company provided a loan collateralized by the partners’ ownership interest in the TIC, as further described in Note 6, for their proportionate share of the repayment.

Funds

RCP Venture

The Funds, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the "Acadia Investors"), all on a non-recourse basis. Through June 30, 2016, the Acadia Investors have made investments in Mervyns Department Stores ("Mervyns") and Albertsons including additional investments in locations that are separate from these original investments ("Add-On Investments"). Additionally, they have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively "Other RCP Investments"). The Company accounts for its investments in Mervyns and Albertsons on the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control. The Company accounts for its investments in its Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments on the cost method as it does not have any influence over such entities' operating and financial policies nor any rights with respect to the control and operation of these entities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received distributions from its RCP Venture of $0.1 million, of which the Operating Partnership's aggregate share was $0.02 million.

Other Fund Investments

The unaffiliated partners in Fund III's investments in Arundel Plaza as well as Fund IV's investments in 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard, Promenade at Manassas, Eden Square, 650 Bald Hill Road and the Broughton Street Portfolio, maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

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

During January 2016, Fund III completed the disposition of a 65% interest in Cortlandt Town Center for a sales price of $107.3 million. The Company now accounts for this investment under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.
