	1. Interim Financial Statements
	Principles of Consolidation -
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Subsequent Events -
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (see Footnote 9).
	Income Taxes -
	The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  Therefore, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.   Most states, where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and the Company includes a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
	Earnings Per Share -
	The following table sets forth the reconciliation of earnings and the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts presented in thousands except per share data):

	Income/(loss) from discontinued operations attributable to the Company			14,461			14,174			(6,555	)		12,661
	Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders for diluted earnings per share		$	40,853		$	26,808		$	129,941		$	112,549

	Net income		$	0.1		$	0.07		$	0.32		$	0.28
		(a)	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.  Additionally, there were 10,983,598 and 11,205,056 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.
	New Accounting Pronouncements –
	In July 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-11”). This update requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. If an applicable deferred tax asset is not available or a company does not expect to use the applicable deferred tax asset, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with an unrelated deferred tax asset. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating ASU 2013-11 and does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	Additionally, during July 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2013-10”). The update permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (“OIS”) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. In addition, the amendments remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The provisions of ASU 2013-10 are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In January 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This guidance is the culmination of the board’s redeliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., the net periodic pension cost), companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information (e.g., the pension footnote). The new requirements were effective for public companies in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
	In December 2011, the FASB released ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
	Reclassifications –
	Certain reclassifications have been made to previously recorded amounts to conform to the current year presentation, Specifically, the Company is presenting on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income its Provision for doubtful accounts as a separate line item included in Operating expenses, which during 2012 was included in Revenues from rental properties. Additionally, the Company made certain other immaterial reclassifications to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012, to conform to the current year presentation.

		-1	This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company had a 45% noncontrolling interest.  The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recognized a gain of $22.7 million, before income tax, from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
		-2	This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company had a 19% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. This transaction resulted in a change in control with no gain or loss recognized.
		-3	The Company acquired the remaining 80% interest in an operating property from an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company had a 20% noncontrolling interest.  The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recognized a gain of $0.5 million from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
		-4	The acquisition of this property included the issuance of $5.2 million of redeemable units, which are redeemable at the option of the holder after one year and earn a yield of 6% per annum, which is included in the purchase price above in Other. In connection with this transaction, the Company provided the sellers a $5.2 million loan at a rate of 6.5%, which is secured by the redeemable units.
		-5	This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company has a 15% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. This transaction resulted in a change in control with no gain or loss recognized.
		-6	The Company acquired the remaining interest in a portfolio of office properties from a preferred equity investment in which the Company held a noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recognized a change in control loss of $9.6 million from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other. The debt assumed in connection with this transaction of $43.3 million was repaid in April 2013.
		-7	The Company acquired an additional 49% interest in this operating property from an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company had a 50% noncontrolling interest. As such the Company now consolidates this investment. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain of $8.2 million from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
	The aggregate purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 has been allocated as follows (in thousands):
	Land		$	136,969
	Buildings			244,194
	Above Market Rents			10,787
	Below Market Rents			(15,075	)
	In-Place Leases			21,532

	Mortgage Fair Value Adjustment			(3,884	)
	Other Assets			867
	Other Liabilities			(399	)
			$	473,116
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”) of 17.3% for $20.3 million. As a result of this transaction the Company now owns 100% of FNC. The Company had previously and continues to consolidate FNC. Since there was no change in control from this transaction, the purchase of the additional interest resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $19.6 million and a decrease in the Company’s Paid-in capital of $0.7 million during 2013.
	Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining interest in three previously consolidated joint ventures for $6.5 million. The Company continues to consolidate these entities as there was no change in control from these transactions. The purchase of the remaining partnership interests resulted in an aggregate decrease in noncontrolling interest of $0.4 million and an aggregate decrease of $4.8 million, after income taxes, to the Company’s Paid-in capital, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	Dispositions –
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company disposed of 22 operating properties and three out-parcels in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $153.3 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued Operations, resulted in an aggregate gain of $9.5 million and impairment charges of $31.7 million, after income taxes.
	Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold four properties in its Mexico portfolio for an aggregate sales price of 84.0 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued Operations, resulted in an aggregate gain of $18.3 million, after income taxes, and impairment charges of $6.0 million.
	Impairment Charges -
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $109.0 million, which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as follows (in millions):
	Mexico operating properties (1)		$	66.9
	Land parcels (2)			17.4
	Operating properties (2)			10.5
	Cost method investment (3)			10
	Preferred equity investment (4)			3.2
	Joint venture investments (2)			1
	Total		$	109
	(1) Impairments resulted from the Company currently being in advanced negotiations to sell 27 operating properties within its Mexico portfolio. Based upon the allocation of the estimated selling prices, the Company determined that for 14 of these properties the estimated fair values are below the current carrying value. As such, the Company has recorded impairment charges of $76.7 million, after noncontrolling interests of $3.1 million ($66.9 million of which relates to eight consolidated properties and $12.9 million relates to six properties within the Company’s joint venture investments). These impairments resulted from the Company’s efforts to market certain assets within the Company’s Latin American portfolio and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. The above amounts are subject to change based upon finalization of contract terms, closing costs, additional cash amounts received as earn outs and fluctuations in the Mexican Peso exchange rate (see Footnote 17).
	(2) Impairments are based upon purchase prices or purchase price offers. These impairments resulted from the Company’s efforts to market certain assets and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions.
	(3) The Company reviewed the underlying cause of the decline in value of this asset, as well as the severity and the duration of the decline and determined that the decline was other-than-temporary. Based upon the calculation of an estimated fair value of $5.0 million using a discounted cash flow model (see Footnote 12) impairment charges were recognized.
	(4) Based upon a review of the debt maturity status and the likelihood of foreclosure of the underlying property within this preferred equity investment, the Company believes it will not recover its investment and as such recorded a full impairment of its investment.

	6. Variable Interest Entities
	Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects
	Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2013, are two entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities were established to develop real estate property to hold as long-term investments.  The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest.
	At September 30, 2013, total assets of these ground-up development VIEs were $85.5 million and total liabilities were $0.4 million. The classification of these assets is primarily within Real estate under development and the classification of liabilities are primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Substantially all of the projected development costs to be funded for these ground-up development VIEs, aggregating $33.1 million, will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and by the outside partners, when contractually obligated. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.
	Unconsolidated Ground-Up Development
	Also included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2013, is an unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture is primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.
	The Company’s investment in this VIE was $17.4 million as of September 30, 2013, which is included in Real estate under development in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $35.8 million, which primarily represents the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of $18.4 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.
	Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment
	Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at September 30, 2013, is one unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $11.2 million, due to the fact that the Company had a remaining capital commitment obligation, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $11.2 million, which is the remaining capital commitment obligation. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

	7. Mortgages and Other Financing Receivables:
	The Company has various mortgages and other financing receivables which consist of loans acquired and loans originated by the Company. The Company reviews payment status to identify performing versus non-performing loans. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. A non-performing loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that the borrower may be unable to meet interest payments as they become due. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on non-accrual status unless there is sufficient collateral to assure collectability of principal and interest. Upon the designation of non-accrual status, all unpaid accrued interest is reserved against through current income. Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis. The following table presents performing and non-performing loans as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):
		Number of Loans		Amount
	Performing Loans		23	$	45,708

	Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling financial interest in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests also includes amounts related to partnership units issued by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company in connection with certain property acquisitions.  Partnership units which are determined to be mandatorily redeemable under the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	The following table presents the change in the redemption value of the Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 (amounts in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	12. Fair Value Measurements
	All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed.  The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities.  The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales.  Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
	As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
	The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimate of fair value differs from the carrying amounts (in thousands):
		30-Sep-13				31-Dec-12
		Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
		Amounts		Fair Value		Amounts		Fair Value
	Marketable securities (1)	$	88,656	$	88,939	$	36,541	$	36,825

	Mortgages payable (3)	$	1,125,771	$	1,181,135	$	1,003,190	$	1,068,616
	(1) As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company determined that $85.6 million and $33.4 million, respectively, of the Marketable securities estimated fair value were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and the remaining $3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	(2) The Company determined that its valuation of Notes payable was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	(3) The Company determined that its valuation of Mortgages payable was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	The table below presents the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized impairment charges of $167.2 million ($58.1 million, before income taxes is included in discontinued operations) of which $153.0 million related to adjustments to property carrying values, $10.0 million related to a cost method investment, $1.0 million related to certain joint venture investments and $3.2 million related to a preferred equity investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized impairment charges of $37.7 million ($37.4 million, before income taxes,  of which is included in discontinued operations) relating to adjustments to property carrying values. The Company’s estimated fair values relating to these assets were primarily based upon (i) estimated sales prices from third party offers relating to property carrying values and joint venture investments and (ii) a discounted cash flow model relating to the Company’s cost method investment. The Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used by the third parties to determine these estimated fair values.  The discounted cash flows model includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. The capitalization rate of 6.0% and discount rate of 9.5% which were utilized in this model were based upon observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective investments. Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

	The Company maintains two equity participation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Equity Participation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and the 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”).  The Prior Plan provides for a maximum of 47,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock grants.  Effective May 1, 2012, the 2010 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and other awards, plus the number of shares of common stock which are or become available for issuance under the Prior Plan and which are not thereafter issued under the Prior Plan, subject to certain conditions.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, stock options granted under the Plans generally vest ratably over a range of three to five years, expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of grant.  Restricted stock grants generally vest (i) 100% on the fourth or fifth anniversary of the grant, (ii) ratably over three or four years, (iii) over three years, at 50% after two years and 50% after the third year or (iv) over ten years at 20% per year commencing after the fifth year.  Performance share awards may provide a right to receive shares of restricted stock based on the Company’s performance relative to its peers, as defined, or based on other performance criteria as determined by the Board of Directors.  In addition, the Plans provide for the granting of certain stock options and restricted stock to each of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) and permits such Independent Directors to elect to receive deferred stock awards in lieu of directors’ fees.
	The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $15.1 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $33.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.6 years.

	16. Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”)
	The Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on the income from its TRS activities, which include wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, Kimco Realty Services ("KRS"), which due to a merger on April 1, 2013 includes FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”), and the consolidated entity Blue Ridge Real Estate Company/Big Boulder Corporation.  On April 2, 2013, the Company contributed its interest in FNC to KRS and KRS acquired all of the outstanding stock of FNC in a reverse cash merger. The Company is also subject to local non-U.S. taxes on certain investments located outside the U.S.
	Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method as required by the FASB’s Income Taxes guidance.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the taxable assets and liabilities.
	The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the caption Other assets and Other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,			December 31,

	Deferred tax liabilities – Non-U.S.		(9,453	)		(13,263	)
	Net deferred tax assets	$	108,823		$	90,225
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $108.8 million comprised of (i) $95.0 million primarily related to KRS (including $19.7 million related to FNC) and (ii) $13.8 million related to its foreign investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that a reduction of $8.7 million of the valuation allowance against FNC’s deferred tax assets was deemed appropriate based on expected future taxable income. In addition, the Company determined that no additional valuation allowance was needed against the remaining net deferred tax asset as future earnings are anticipated to be sufficient to more likely than not realize its net deferred tax asset. The Company based its determination on an analysis of both positive and negative evidence. If future income projections do not occur as forecasted and future taxable earnings are insufficient, the Company will reevaluate the need for an additional valuation allowance.
	Uncertain Tax Positions:
	The Company is subject to income tax in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., principally Canada and Mexico.  The statute of limitations on assessment of tax varies from three to seven years depending on the jurisdiction and tax issue. Tax returns filed in each jurisdiction are subject to examination by local tax authorities.  The Company is currently under audit by the Canadian Revenue Agency, Mexican Tax Authority and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).  In October 2011, the IRS issued a notice of proposed adjustment, which proposes pursuant to Section 482 of the Code, to disallow a capital loss claimed by KRS on the disposition of common shares of Valad Property Ltd., an Australian publicly listed company.  Because the adjustment is being made pursuant to Section 482 of the Code, the IRS may assert a 100 percent “penalty” tax pursuant to Section 857(b)(7) of the Code in lieu of disallowing the capital loss deduction. The notice of proposed adjustment indicates the IRS’ intention to impose the 100 percent penalty tax on the Company in the amount of $40.9 million and disallowing the capital loss claimed by KRS.  The Company strongly disagrees with the IRS’ position on the application of Section 482 of the Code to the disposition of the shares, the imposition of the 100 percent penalty tax and the simultaneous assertion of the penalty tax and disallowance of the capital loss deduction. The Company received a Notice of Proposed Assessment and filed a written protest and requested an IRS Appeals Office conference, which has yet to be scheduled.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in this matter and believes it will prevail. Resolutions of the above mentioned audits in the U.S., Canada and Mexico are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

	At September 30, 2013, the Company had a net $87.2 million, after noncontrolling interests of $7.3 million, of unrealized cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) losses relating to its investments in foreign entities. The CTA is comprised of $25.9 million of unrealized gains relating to its Canadian investments and $113.1 million of unrealized losses relating to its Latin American investments. CTA results from currency fluctuations between local currency and the U.S. dollar during the period in which the Company held its investment. CTA amounts are subject to future changes resulting from ongoing fluctuations in the respective foreign currency exchange rates. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. During 2013, the Company began selling properties within its Latin American portfolio. The Company may, in the near term, substantially liquidate all of its investments in this portfolio which will require the then unrealized loss on foreign currency translation to be recognized as a charge against earnings.

	Principles of Consolidation -
	The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Income Taxes -
	The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  Therefore, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.   Most states, where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and the Company includes a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

	The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements –
	In July 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-11”). This update requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. If an applicable deferred tax asset is not available or a company does not expect to use the applicable deferred tax asset, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with an unrelated deferred tax asset. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating ASU 2013-11 and does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	Additionally, during July 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2013-10”). The update permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (“OIS”) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. In addition, the amendments remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The provisions of ASU 2013-10 are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	In January 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This guidance is the culmination of the board’s redeliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., the net periodic pension cost), companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information (e.g., the pension footnote). The new requirements were effective for public companies in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
	In December 2011, the FASB released ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Additionally, there were 10,983,598 and 11,205,056 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

[1]	Impairments resulted from the Company currently being in advanced negotiations to sell 27 operating properties within its Mexico portfolio. Based upon the allocation of the estimated selling prices, the Company determined that for 14 of these properties the estimated fair values are below the current carrying value. As such, the Company has recorded impairment charges of $76.7 million, after noncontrolling interests of $3.1 million ($66.9 million of which relates to eight consolidated properties and $12.9 million relates to six properties within the Company's joint venture investments). These impairments resulted from the Company's efforts to market certain assets within the Company's Latin American portfolio and management's assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. The above amounts are subject to change based upon finalization of contract terms, closing costs, additional cash amounts received as earn outs and fluctuations in the Mexican Peso exchange rate (see Footnote 17).
[2]	Impairments are based upon purchase prices or purchase price offers. These impairments resulted from the Company's efforts to market certain assets and management's assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions.
[3]	The Company reviewed the underlying cause of the decline in value of this asset, as well as the severity and the duration of the decline and determined that the decline was other-than-temporary. Based upon the calculation of an estimated fair value of $5.0 million using a discounted cash flow model (see Footnote 12) impairment charges were recognized.
[4]	Based upon a review of the debt maturity status and the likelihood of foreclosure of the underlying property within this preferred equity investment, the Company believes it will not recover its investment and as such recorded a full impairment of its investment.

This venture represents four separate joint ventures, with four separate accounts managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors ("PREI"), three of these ventures are collectively referred to as KimPru and the remaining venture is referred to as KimPru II.

[2]

The Company manages these joint venture investments and, where applicable, earns acquisition fees, leasing commissions, property management fees, asset management fees and construction management fees.

[3]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased the remaining interest in an operating property for a purchase price of $15.8 million. As a result of this transaction, KimPru recognized an impairment charge of $4.0 million, of which the Company's share was $0.6 million.

[4]

The Company's share of this investment was subject to fluctuation and dependent upon property cash flows. During June 2013, the Intown portfolio was sold for a sales price of $735.0 million which included the assignment of $609.2 million in debt. This transaction resulted in a deferred gain to the Company of $21.7 million. The Company continues to maintain its guarantee of $145.2 million of outstanding debt assumed by the buyer. The guarantee is collateralized by the buyer's ownership interest in the portfolio. The Company is entitled to a guarantee fee, for the initial term of the loan, which is scheduled to mature in December 2015. The guarantee fee is calculated based upon the difference between LIBOR plus 1.15% and 5.0% per annum multiplied by the outstanding amount of the loan. Additionally, the Company has entered into a commitment to provide financing up to $145.2 million for five years past the date of maturity. This commitment can be in the form of extensions with the current lender, loans from a new lender or financing directly from the Company to the buyer. Due to this continued involvement, the Company deferred its gain until such time that the guarantee and commitment expire.

[5]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company amended one of its Canadian preferred equity investment agreements to restructure the investment as a pari passu joint venture in which the Company holds a noncontrolling interest. As a result of this transaction, the Company continues to account for its investment in this joint venture under the equity method of accounting and includes this investment in Investments and advances to real estate joint ventures within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

[6]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a joint venture in which the Company has a noncontrolling interest sold an operating property for a sales price of $7.6 million and recognized an impairment charge of $2.0 million. The Company's share of this impairment charge was $1.0 million.

[7]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, two joint ventures in which the Company held noncontrolling interests sold two operating properties to the Company, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $228.8 million. The Company evaluated these transactions pursuant to the FASB's Consolidation guidance. As such, the Company recognized an aggregate gain of $30.9 million, before income tax, from the fair value adjustment associated with its original ownership due to a change in control and now consolidates these operating properties.

[8]

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company purchased an additional 24.24% interest in Kimco Income Fund for $38.3 million.
