INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Core Portfolio

The Company owns a 22.2% interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the “Brandywine Portfolio”) located in Wilmington, Delaware and a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York (“Crossroads”). These investments are accounted for under the equity method.

During September 2011, the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in the Georgetown Portfolio (Note 4). The unaffiliated venture partner for the Georgetown Portfolio maintains control over this investment and, as such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method. Due to this acquisition, the Company reclassified an existing $8.0 million mezzanine loan collateralized by five properties within the Georgetown Portfolio from Notes Receivable to Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates.

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

During 2004, the Company along with Klaff Realty, LP (“Klaff”) and Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. (“Lubert-Adler”) formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment. Any member of this group has the option of participating, or not, in any individual investment and each individual investment has been made on a stand-alone basis through a separate limited liability company (“LLC”). These investments have been made through different investment vehicles with different affiliated and unaffiliated investors and different economics to the Company. Investments under the RCP Venture are structured as separate joint ventures as there may be other investors participating in certain investments in addition to Klaff, Lubert-Adler and Acadia. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the “Acadia Investors”), all on a non-recourse basis. Through September 30, 2011, 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, Acadia Investors have invested in Shopko, Marsh and Rex Stores Corporation (collectively “Other RCP Investments”).

The Acadia Investors have non-controlling interests in the individual investee LLC’s as follows:

The Company accounts for the original investments in Mervyns and Albertsons under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control.

The Company accounts for the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments under the cost method. Due to its minor ownership interest, based on the size of the investments as well as the terms of the underlying operating agreements, the Company has no influence over such entities operating and financial policies. Other than the minority investor rights to which the Company is entitled pursuant to statute, it has no rights other than to receive its pro-rata share of cash distributions as declared by the managers of the Add-On Investments and Other RCP Investments. The Company has no rights with respect to the control and operation of these investment vehicles, nor with the formulation and execution of business and investment policies.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received RCP Venture distributions totaling $4.5 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 received distributions of $6.9 million. The Operating Partnership's share of these distributions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Other Opportunity Fund Investments

Fund II Investments

Prior to June 30, 2010, Fund II had a 24.75% interest in CityPoint, a redevelopment project located in downtown Brooklyn, NY, which was accounted for under the equity method. On June 30, 2010, Fund II acquired the remaining interest in the project from its unaffiliated partner and, as a result, now consolidates the CityPoint investment.

Fund III Investments

The unaffiliated venture partners for the Lincoln Road (Note 4), White Oak (Note 4) and the White City Shopping Center investments maintain control over these entities and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.

During June 2010, Fund III, together with an unaffiliated partner, invested in an entity for the purpose of providing management services to owners of self-storage properties, including the 14 locations currently owned through Fund II and Fund III. The entity was determined to be a variable interest entity for which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.
