Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter was $15.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $146.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. Second quarter 2010 results include $19.9 million of non-cash impairments, primarily attributable to the transfer of assets between joint venture entities, compared to $176.5 million of non-cash impairments in the second quarter 2009. Excluding non-cash impairments, net income available to common shareholders was $35.6 million or $0.09 per diluted share for the second quarter 2010 compared to $30.0 million or $0.08 per diluted share for the same period in 2009. The difference in net income available to common shareholders in the second quarter 2010 over 2009 relates to an increase in net operating income offset by higher interest expense and depreciation related to acquisition activity since the comparable period of 2009.

Year-to-date, net income available to common shareholders per diluted share was $0.13 compared to a net loss available to common shareholders per diluted share of $0.37 through June 30, 2009. Excluding non-cash impairments, year-to-date net income available to common shareholders per diluted share was $0.20 compared to $0.18 per diluted share for the same period in 2009. Comparable earnings per diluted share were lower by $0.04 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of the company's common share offerings of 134 million shares in 2009.

Funds from operations (FFO), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance, were $105.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010 compared to an FFO loss of $62.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Excluding non-cash impairments, FFO were $125.5 million for second quarter 2010 compared to $113.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year with FFO of $0.31 per diluted share for both periods.

Year-to-date, FFO were $231.6 million or $0.57 per diluted share compared to $55.1 million or $0.17 per diluted share through June 2009. Excluding impairments for the six months ended June 2010 and 2009, respectively, year-to-date FFO per diluted share were $0.64 for 2010 and $0.72 for the same period in 2009.

Comparable FFO per diluted share were lower by $0.03 and $0.16 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as a result of the company's common share offerings of 134 million shares in 2009. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is provided in the attached tables.

        increase of 50 basis points over second quarter 2009;
    --  Total leases executed: 714 new leases, renewals and options signed
        totaling 2.1 million square feet. Year-over-year leasing volume for the

        respectively;
    --  U.S. cash-basis leasing spreads declined 1.6 percent: spreads on new
        leases increased 0.2 percent and renewals/options decreased 2.6 percent.

Kimco's shopping center portfolio includes 935 operating properties, comprising 818 assets in the United States and Puerto Rico, 49 in Canada, 46 in Mexico and 11 in South America, as well as nine development properties, consisting of two assets in the United States, five in Mexico and two in South America. The company has 22 former development properties that are approximately 75 percent leased and not included in the company's occupancy until the earlier of (i) reaching 90 percent leased or (ii) one year following the projects inclusion in operating real estate (two years for Latin America).

Investment Management Programs

As previously announced, the company and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) established a new joint venture which acquired five former PL Retail properties for approximately $370 million including $160 million of mortgage debt encumbering three of the properties. This portfolio, which totals approximately 2.1 million square feet, includes three centers located in California, and one each in Florida and Virginia. Kimco holds a 55% ownership interest in addition to serving as the operating partner.

During the second quarter, the company and BIG Shopping Centers (TLV:BIG), an Israeli public company, entered into a new joint venture that acquired a portfolio of 13 shopping center assets from one of Kimco's existing institutional joint ventures for $394 million including $360 million of mortgage debt. This portfolio, which totals 2.4 million square feet, includes eight centers located in California, two each in Washington and Nevada and one in Oregon. Kimco holds a 33.3% ownership interest in addition to serving as the operating partner.

In addition, the company and BIG formed a joint venture that acquired two unencumbered former PL Retail properties for approximately $69 million. These properties, which total approximately 343,000 square feet, are primarily grocery-anchored centers located in California. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the venture acquired five unencumbered properties from one of Kimco's existing institutional joint ventures for $30 million. This portfolio, which totals 508,000 square feet, includes three centers located in California and two in Nevada. Kimco holds a 50.1% ownership interest in this joint venture in addition to serving as the operating partner.

Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, the company and its joint venture partners, investment funds managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors (the Funds), repaid the remaining $287.5 million balance on the guaranteed credit facility which the joint ventures had with a consortium of banks. Funding for this final repayment was sourced from capital contributions made by Kimco (15 percent) and the Funds (85 percent).

During the second quarter 2010, the company realized fee income of $11.4 million from its investment management business. This included $7.7 million in management fees, $2.4 million in acquisition fees and $1.3 million in other ongoing fees.

At quarter-end, the company had a total of 287 properties in its investment management program with 24 institutional partners.

Structured Investments and Non-Retail Assets

During the quarter, the company recognized $22 million of income related to its structured investments and other non-retail assets, of which $16 million was recurring. The recurring income was primarily attributable to $7 million from preferred equity investments and $4 million each from interest and dividends and its non-retail joint ventures including Westmont Hospitality. Non-recurring income of $6 million relates to the continued monetization of the company's non-retail assets.

Since the beginning of the year, the company monetized approximately $52 million of its non-retail assets and other structured investments including $44 million in the second quarter. The majority of these investments were from the sale of the company's urban portfolio properties, marketable securities and the repayment of mortgage financing receivables.

Dividend and Capital Structure

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, payable on October 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on October 5, 2010, representing an ex-dividend date of October 1, 2010.

The company also announced that its Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends for the company's preferred shares. The Series F depositary shares, each representing 1/10 of a share of 6.65% Series F cumulative redeemable preferred shares, quarterly dividend of $0.415625 per preferred depositary share will be paid on October 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2010, representing an ex-dividend of September 29, 2010.

During the quarter, the company issued $150 million in Canadian denominated unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.99% and mature April 2018. The proceeds from these notes were used to repay the company's $150 million Canadian denominated unsecured notes that matured in April 2010. The company maintains access to approximately $1.6 billion of immediate liquidity under its two credit facilities ($1.5 billion U.S. revolving credit facility and its CAD $250 million Canadian revolving credit facility).

The company remains committed to its core business objectives:

    --  Increasing shareholder value through the ownership, management and
        selective acquisition of neighborhood and community shopping centers;

Projections involve numerous assumptions such as rental income (including assumptions on percentage rent), interest rates, tenant 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.
