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 a 22.22% interest in an approximately 20,000 square foot retail property located in Wilmington, Delaware ("Route 202 Shopping Center"). These investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

The Opportunity Funds, together with two unaffiliated partners formed an investment group, the RCP Venture, for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned by retailers and, in some instances, the retailers' operating company. The RCP Venture is neither a single entity nor a specific investment and the Company has no control or rights with respect to the formation and operation of these investments. The Company has made these investments through its subsidiaries, Mervyns I, Mervyns II and Fund II, (together the "Acadia Investors"), all on a non-recourse basis. Through September 30, 2013, 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.

The following table summarizes activity related to the RCP Venture investments from inception through September 30, 2013:

Other Opportunity Fund Investments

During the third quarter of 2013, Fund II, through a joint venture ("Albee Tower I Owners") with an unaffiliated entity, executed an agreement to acquire the development rights for the residential components of Fund II's City Point project. Fund II contributed $1.1 million of cash and $6.8 million of prepaid ground rent and previously incurred construction costs into this joint venture.

The unaffiliated partners for Fund II's investment in Albee Tower I Owners, Fund III's investments in Lincoln Road, Parkway Crossing, Arundel Plaza and the White City Shopping Center as well as Fund IV's investments in Lincoln Road, 1701 Belmont Avenue, 2819 Kennedy Boulevard and Promenade at Manassas maintain control over these entities. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method as it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have any rights with respect to financial or operating control.

INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES (continued)

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.
