ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, management and redevelopment of retail properties and urban/infill mixed-use properties with a retail component located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States along the East Coast and in Chicago.

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 entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of June 30, 2012, the Trust controlled approximately 99% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner. As the general partner, the Trust 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 primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted OP units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). 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 Trust (“Common Shares”).

Effective May 16, 2012, the Company formed Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV, LLC (“Fund IV”). As of June 30, 2012, the Company has closed on a total of $347.6 million of equity commitments with eight institutional investors. The Operating Partnership's share of closed equity commitments totaled $100.0 million. Fund IV is expected to ultimately range between $500.0 million to $550.0 million of total equity. With the committed discretionary capital, Fund IV expects to be able to acquire or develop approximately $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion of assets on a leveraged basis. The Operating Partnership is the sole managing member and can have a minimum 20.0% to a maximum 25.0% co-investment interest in Fund IV. The terms and structure of Fund IV are substantially the same as Fund III, including the Promote structure, with a Preferred Return of 6.0%. As of June 30, 2012, there have been no capital contributions made to Fund IV.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has ownership interests in 57 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its opportunity funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 34 properties within three of its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund L.P. (“Fund I”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”) and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III” and together with Fund I and Fund II, the “Opportunity Funds”). The 91 Core Portfolio and Opportunity Fund properties consist of commercial properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, mixed-use properties with a retail component and self-storage properties. In addition, the Company also invests in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I”), Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”) and Fund II, all on a non-recourse basis. These investments comprise and are referred to as the Company's Retailer Controlled Property initiative (“RCP Venture”). The Operating Partnership has the following equity interests in the Opportunity Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II:



Entity	Equity Interest Held By Operating Partnership
Fund I and Mervyns I	22.2%
Fund II and Mervyns II	20.0%
Fund III	19.9%
Fund IV	21.5%

In addition, with respect to each of the Opportunity Funds, Mervyns I and Mervyns II, the Operating Partnership is entitled to a profit participation in excess of its equity interest percentage based on certain investment return thresholds (“Promote”).

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company is presumed to have control in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the net earnings (or losses) of entities accounted for under the equity method are included in consolidated net income under the caption, Equity in Earnings (Losses) of

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Unconsolidated Affiliates. Investments in entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise any influence are

accounted for under the cost method.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Real Estate

The Company reviews its operating long-lived assets for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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 dispose. Management does not believe that the values of any of the Company's properties are impaired as of June 30, 2012.

Involuntary Conversion of Asset

The Company experienced significant flooding that resulted in extensive damage to one of its properties during September 2011. Costs related to the clean-up and redevelopment are insured to a limit sufficient that the Company believes will allow for full restoration of the property. Loss of rents during the redevelopment are covered by business interruption insurance subject to a $0.1 million deductible. The Company plans to restore the improvements that were damaged by the flooding and expects that the costs of such restoration and rebuilding will be recoverable from insurance proceeds. In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and as a result of the above-described property damage, the Company has recorded a write-down of the asset's carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2012. In addition, the Company has recorded an insurance recovery in the same amount that is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has also provided a $0.1 million provision in the 2011 year-end consolidated statement of income of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC for its exposure to the insurance deductible attributable to the loss of rents. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has received initial insurance proceeds of approximately $6.9 million but is still in the process of finalizing all claims related to the flood with the insurance carrier.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments, which primarily require additional fair value disclosure, are to be applied prospectively. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which companies present comprehensive income. Under ASU No. 2011-05, companies may present comprehensive income, which

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

is net income adjusted for the components of other comprehensive income, either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive

income or by using two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of the alternative chosen, companies must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income within the presentation of both net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 as of December 31, 2011 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

During December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate - a Scope Clarification," which clarifies current guidance found in ASC Topic 810 as to the proper accounting in situations when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. ASU No. 2011-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
