TABLE OF CONTENTS

Item 8.01.     Other Events

On November 4, 2009, Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), purchased the remaining 85% interest in PL Retail LLC and Subsidiaries (“PL Retail”), an entity that indirectly owns through wholly-owned subsidiaries 21 shopping centers, in which the Company held a 15% non-controlling interest prior to this transaction. The 21 shopping centers comprise approximately 5.2 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and are located in California (8 properties; 27% of GLA), Florida (6 properties; 42% of GLA), the Phoenix, Arizona metro area (2 properties; 7.3% of GLA), New Jersey (2 properties; 10.3% of GLA), Long Island, New York (1 property; 1.1% of GLA), Arlington, Virginia, near metro Washington, D.C. (1 property; 6.6% of GLA) and Greenville, South Carolina (1 property; 5.7% of GLA).  The Company paid a purchase price equal to approximately $175.0 million, after customary adjustments and closing prorations, which was equivalent to 85% of PL Retail’s gross asset value, which equaled approximately $825.0 million, less the assumption of $564.0 million of non-recourse mortgage debt encumbering 20 properties and $50.0 million of perpetual preferred stock.  The purchase price includes approximately $20.0 million for the purchase of development rights for one shopping center.  Subsequent to the acquisition of these properties, the Company repaid an aggregate of approximately $269.0 million of the non-recourse mortgage debt which encumbered 10 properties.  

In addition, during 2009, the Company acquired, in separate transactions, 12 operating properties (the “Additional Acquisitions”) comprising of approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130.5 million, including the assumption of $13.5 million of non-recourse mortgage debt encumbering one of the properties.  

The 21 properties relating to the PL Retail acquisition and the 12 Additional Acquisitions (collectively referred to herein as the “Acquisition Properties”) qualify for the aggregate audit requirements under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-14”).  The Acquisition Properties comprise an aggregate of approximately 6.8 million square feet of GLA, and had an aggregate purchase price of approximately $955.4 million including the assumption of approximately $577.6 million of non-recourse mortgage debt encumbering 21 of the properties and $50.0 million of perpetual preferred stock.  The aggregate purchase price of the properties exceeded 10% of the total assets of the Company as of December 31, 2009.  None of these acquisition transactions constitute a “significant subsidiary”.

Details of the acquisitions are as follows (in thousands):

* Properties were selected for audit under Rule 3-14 (“Selected Acquisition Properties”).  The aggregate purchase price of the Selected Acquisition Properties was approximately $825.0 million or approximately 86.4% of the aggregate purchase price of the Acquisition Properties.

(1)  Properties purchased from a related party PL Retail LLC, therefore requiring audits for three years under Rule 3-14.

(2)  Mortgage indebtedness assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisitions mature on various dates between January 1, 2010 through February 1, 2017, and bear interest at annual rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.45% to 9.0%.  The $50.0 million of perpetual preferred stock relating to PL Retail consists of 2,942,463 shares outstanding and pays a quarterly dividend at a rate of $0.29 per share.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as those related to the purchase price and financial statements of property acquisitions, which are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements.  Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to (i) general adverse economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms, (iv) the Company’s ability to raise capital by selling its assets, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) valuation of joint venture investments, (ix) valuation of marketable securities and other investments, (x) increases in operating costs, (xi) changes in the dividend policy for the Company’s common stock, (xii) the reduction in the Company’s income in the event of multiple lease terminations by tenants or a failure by multiple tenants to occupy their premises in a shopping center, (xiii) impairment charges and (xiv) unanticipated changes in the Company’s intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity and/or hold certain securities until maturity.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized. Our success also depends upon certain other matters discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Business Risks” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and  regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange  Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Kimco Realty Corporation as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of PL Retail’s consolidated revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Consolidated Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 1 of PL Retail for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

For the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and

the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 (unaudited)

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

On November 4, 2009, Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) acquired the remaining 85% interest in PL Retail LLC and Subsidiaries (“PL Retail”), of which the Company held a 15% non-controlling interest prior to this transaction.  The accompanying consolidated statements of revenues and certain operating expenses (the “Consolidated Statements”) presents the results of operations of PL Retail for the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 for those properties owned by PL Retail as of November 4, 2009.   The Consolidated Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14 and for inclusion in this Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company.  The Consolidated Statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of PL Retail as certain expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, interest, property management fees and other costs not directly related to the future operations of the properties, have been excluded.  The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to PL Retail that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Statements include the accounts of PL Retail and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Each wholly-owned subsidiary is an entity that owns one or more properties.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

Revenue Recognition

Base rental revenues from rental properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.  Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee.  These percentage rents are recognized once the required sales level is achieved.  In addition to base rent, tenants also, generally, will pay their pro rata share of increases of common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and other operating expenses in excess of a base year amount.  These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year.  These operating expense reimbursements are recognized as earned.  If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.  In addition, certain leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations.  

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the properties and include maintenance, utilities, ground rent expense and repair costs that are expected to continue in the ongoing operations of the properties. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain operating expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4.  Tenant Concentrations

One tenant, Costco, accounted for more than 10% of the properties’ total rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Costco constituted approximately 11% of the properties’ total rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Costco also comprised 11% of the properties’ total rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
