included in this release.
During the quarter, Kimco's parent portfolio occupancy increased
to 93.6 percent from 92.9 percent at September 30, 2004 and 90.7
percent a year earlier. The increase in occupancy was the result of
new leasing, acquisition activity and property sales. For the quarter,
Kimco signed 101 new leases in this portfolio totaling 540,000 square
feet. For the full year the Company signed 515 new leases in this
portfolio, a 20 percent increase from 2003, totaling approximately 3.2
million square feet of gross leasable area.

Fourth Quarter Investment Summary

During the fourth quarter, Kimco acquired interests in $1.5
billion of shopping center properties. In the parent portfolio the
Company acquired 13 properties totaling 962,000 square feet of gross
leasable area aggregating approximately $118.1 million. In the
Company's co-investment programs, Kimco acquired interests in 37
shopping centers for approximately $1.3 billion. This total includes
the recent acquisition of Price Legacy Corporation in which Kimco has
a 15.0 percent interest and manages the portfolio. Kimco also sold six
properties for $38.9 million, recognizing net gains on sales of $3.3
million. Kimco continues to identify properties in the portfolio for
sale amid strong market demand for shopping center properties.
The Company's preferred equity program had a strong fourth quarter
for new transactions. Kimco invested $55.7 million in 21 properties
during the quarter under this program. Two preferred equity
investments were repaid during the quarter generating $10.0 million of
proceeds, including a profit participation above the Company's
original investment.
Retail Property Solutions, the Company's business of providing
capital and services to retailers, led an $18.5 million financing
package to Tidymans LLC, an independent grocery store operator in the
Pacific Northwest. Kimco also participated in a $8.0 million credit
facility for Priceless Kids, a children's clothing store operator. Two
of Kimco's prior loans to retailers totaling $9.4 million were repaid
at par in December.
Kimco Select Investments invested approximately $19.5 million in
real estate related securities and $32.0 million in a sale leaseback
during the quarter. In addition, the Company exercised 2.5 million
warrants to acquire an equal number of RioCan REIT units at a price of
CAD$11.02. At the exercise price, RioCan's dividend represents an 11.4
percent yield and the recent closing price on the Toronto Stock
Exchange was CAD$19.13 per unit. The Company also purchased CAD$4.4
million of convertible debentures issued by Sterling Centrecorp as
part of a balance sheet recapitalization. This represents Kimco's
second convertible debenture transaction with Sterling, raising
Kimco's total investment to CAD$8.9 million.
Kimco's merchant building business, Kimco Developers Inc. (KDI),
completed the sale of two shopping centers and sold portions of eight
additional projects generating proceeds of $39.4 million. These
property sales resulted in gains on sales of approximately $5.0
million, net of tax. One shopping center and an out-parcel were sold
subsequently to year-end for gross proceeds of approximately $24.4
million. In addition, KDI acquired five new projects during the fourth
quarter for a total of $49.0 million.
For the year, Kimco completed transactions in excess of $3.0
billion. Summary highlights of these activities are as follows:

-- Kimco acquired interests in 73 shopping centers representing
12.6 million square feet totaling $1.9 billion of investment.

-- Properties transferred to the Company's co-investment programs
were $702.6 million for the year. Kimco's focus on growing
these programs resulted in a 66.0 percent increase in
management fee income in the current year.

-- The Company completed 22 preferred equity transactions
totaling $121.0 million of investment and interests in 48
properties.

-- Kimco's development business sold projects totaling $169.4
million, while acquiring interests in six new projects for

(1) Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including the
Company, generally consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an
appropriate supplemental measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
FFO is defined as net income applicable to common shares before
depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items, cumulative effect
of accounting changes, gains on sales of operating real estate, plus
the pro-rata amount of depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated
joint ventures, net of minority interests, determined on a consistent
basis. Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate
owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to
investors as a measure of its operational performance. FFO does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and therefore should not be
considered an alternative for net income as a measure of liquidity. In
addition, the comparability of the Company's FFO with the FFO reported
by other REITs may be affected by the differences that exist regarding
certain accounting policies relating to expenditures for repairs and
other recurring items.
(2) Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted
to common stock at the beginning of the period. Funds from operations
would be increased by $1,607 and $1,502 for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and $6,113 and $5,771 for
the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflecting
the distributions associated with these units.

Projections involve numerous assumptions such as rental income

defaults, occupancy rates, foreign currency exchange rates (such as
the US-Canadian rate), selling prices of properties held for
disposition, expenses (including salaries and employee costs),
insurance costs and numerous other factors. Not all of these factors
are determinable at this time and actual results may vary from the
projected results, and may be above or below the range indicated. The
above range represents management's estimate of results based upon
these assumptions as of the date of this press release.
