This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on
January 21, 1986, as previously amended by Amendments No. 1 through 8 thereto
(as amended, the "Schedule 13D"), filed by Milton Cooper, KC Holdings, Inc. and
Kimco Realty Services, Inc. as follows and adds Kimco Realty Corporation
("Kimco") as a Reporting Person (unless otherwise indicated herein, all
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
Schedule 13D, and unless amended or supplemented hereby, all information
previously filed remains in effect):
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a)-(c), (f) This statement is being filed by Kimco Realty
Corporation ("Kimco"), Kimco Realty Services, Inc. ("Services"), KC Holdings,
Inc. ("KC Holdings") and Milton Cooper (each, a "Reporting Person" and,
collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Kimco acquired all of the outstanding
voting common stock of Services as of January 1, 2001, and is therefore being
added as a Reporting Person.
Kimco, a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and manages
neighborhood and community shopping centers in 41 states. It intends to operate
as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a "REIT") for federal income tax purposes.
Kimco owns all of the outstanding voting common and non-voting preferred stock
of Services, which has filed to be qualified as a taxable REIT subsidiary.
Kimco's principal place of business is 3333 New Hyde Park Road, New Hyde Park,
New York 11042-0020.
Mr. Cooper is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Kimco and a Director and the President of each of Services and KC
Holdings. As of January 1, 2001, Mr. Cooper sold all of the outstanding voting
common stock of Services owned by him to Kimco. His business address is c/o
Kimco Realty Corporation, 3333 New Hyde Park Road, New Hyde Park, New York
11042-0020. Mr. Cooper's principal business is as Chief Executive Officer of
Kimco. He is a United Stated citizen.
Information with respect to the executive officers and
directors of Kimco, Services and KC Holdings, other than Mr. Cooper, required by
Instruction C of Schedule 13D is set forth on Schedule I hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
(d) and (e). During the last five years, none of the Reporting
Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person
named on Schedule I hereto has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal, or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
On January 15, 2001 and May 10, 2001, Services purchased 2,000
and 116,346 Shares, respectively, for $10.50 per Share in cash in separate,
privately negotiated transactions. The funds to purchase the aggregate 118,346
Shares, totaling $1,242,633, were obtained from Services' working capital.
Page 6 of 12
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)-(b) Services beneficially owns 842,640 Shares, or
approximately 43.8% of the outstanding Shares. Kimco, by virtue of its ownership
of all of the outstanding voting common stock of Services, may be deemed to be
the beneficial owner of all Shares reported as beneficially owned by Services.
KC Holdings beneficially owns 67,803 Shares, or approximately
3.5% of the outstanding Shares.
Mr. Cooper beneficially owns 153,893 Shares, or approximately
8%, of the outstanding Shares. Such number of Shares does not include 714 Shares
held by a trust for which Mr. Cooper serves as a trustee (see footnote (1) to
Schedule 1) or 67,803 Shares held by KC Holdings, as to each of which Mr. Cooper
disclaims beneficial ownership. Although Mr. Cooper is a Director and the
President of KC Holdings and owns approximately 7.7% of the capital stock of KC
Holdings, he disclaims beneficial ownership of the 67,803 Shares held by KC
Holdings.
The percentages stated in this section are based on 1,923,784
Shares reported by the Companies to be outstanding as of December 31, 2000 in
the Companies' Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) filed February 14, 2001.
Each Reporting Person has sole power to vote, or direct the
vote, and to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, all Shares reported as
beneficially owned by it or him, except that Kimco, as the owner of all of the
outstanding voting common stock of Services, may be deemed to have the power to
direct the vote or the disposition of all Shares reported as beneficially owned
by Services.
Neither the filing of this statement nor any of its contents
shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is
the beneficial owner of any securities owned by the other Reporting Person, or
that such Reporting Persons constitute a "group" either for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other
purpose, and such beneficial ownership and "group" designation are expressly
disclaimed.
(c) Except for the purchase on May 10, 2001 by Services of
116,346 Shares for $10.50 per Share in cash in a privately negotiated
transaction, no transactions in Shares have been effected by or for the account
of any of the Reporting Persons during the past sixty days.
