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, a 49% interest in a 311,000 square foot shopping center located in White Plains, New York (“Crossroads”), and a 50% interest in an approximately 28,000 square foot retail portfolio located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. (the "Georgetown Portfolio"). These investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Opportunity Funds

RCP Venture

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 March 31, 2012, 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-

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 March 31, 2012, the Company received RCP Venture distributions from Albertsons Add-On investments and Rex Stores totaling $1.0 million of which the Operating Partnership's share totaled $0.2 million.

The following table summarizes activity related to the RCP Venture investments from inception through March 31, 2012:

Other Opportunity Fund Investments
The unaffiliated venture partners for Fund III's investments in Lincoln Road, White Oak, Parkway Crossing and the White City Shopping Center maintain control over these entities and, as such, the Company accounts for these investments under the equity method.
During June 2010, Fund III, in a joint venture 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. Fund III has a 50% interest in the entity. This 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.
