ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

         In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (the "SEC")
requirement for transitional disclosure, Kimco Realty Corporation (the
"Company") is re-issuing in an updated format the presentation of its historical
financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144") for incorporation by reference into the Company's
pending registration statement filing on Form S-4 dated April 30, 2004.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold and
reclassified as held-for-sale certain properties. In accordance with SFAS 144,
the Company has reported revenues, expenses, gains on disposition and loss on
adjustment of property carrying values from these properties as discontinued
operations for the periods presented in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed
on August 3, 2004 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

         This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7 and 15 (a) 1 of the
Company's Form 10-K to reflect the revenues and expenses of those properties
sold and reclassified as held-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2004
as discontinued operations for all periods presented. All other items of the
Form 10-K remain unchanged. This reclassification has no effect on the Company's
previously reported net income or net income per common share.

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

         The Company is filing as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K,
and incorporating herein by reference, the figures used to calculate the
Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges and ratio of earnings to combined
fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the six months ended June 30,
2004.

         For the purposes of computing theses ratios pursuant to Item 503 of
Regulation S-K, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding
capitalized interest), amortization of capitalized interest and distributed
income of equity investees to pre-tax income from continuing operations before
adjustment for minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income/loss
from unconsolidated partnerships. Fixed charges consist of interest costs,
whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expenses, and
amortization of debt discounts and issue costs, whether expensed or capitalized.
