separate transactions throughout 1997, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $141.7 million including the assumption of approximately $14.0

historical summary is the responsibility of the management of Kimco Realty
Corporation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined
historical summary based on our audit.

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

The accompanying Combined Historical Summary of Revenue and Certain Operating
Expenses of Certain Acquired Properties has been prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenue and expenses of the Certain Acquired Properties.

In our opinion, the combined historical summary referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain operating expenses of
the Certain Acquired Properties described in Notes 2 and 3 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2.    Basis of Presentation
      ---------------------

The Combined Historical Summary has been prepared on the accrual method of
accounting. Certain operating expenses include operating and maintenance costs,
real estate taxes, and insurance expenses relating to the operation of the
Certain Acquired Properties. In accordance with the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, mortgage interest, depreciation and general
and administrative expenses have been excluded from Certain operating expenses,

financial agreement.

over the terms of the related leases.

                                       OF
                           CERTAIN ACQUIRED PROPERTIES

1.    Basis of Presentation

Depreciation has been estimated based upon an allocation of the purchase prices
for the Certain Acquired Properties to land (20%) and building (80%) and
assuming a 39 year useful life applied on a straight-line method.

No income taxes have been provided because the Company is organized and operates
in such a manner so as to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Accordingly, the Company
generally will not pay Federal income tax provided that distributions to its
stockholders equal at least the amount of its real estate investment trust
taxable income as defined under the Code.

2.    Acquisition Considerations

In assessing the properties acquired, the Company's management considered the
existing tenancies, which are the primary revenue source, the occupancy rates,
which averaged 97% on the dates of acquisition, the competitive nature of the
markets and comparative rental rates. Furthermore, current and anticipated
maintenance and repair costs, real estate taxes and capital improvement
requirements were evaluated. Management is not aware of any material factors
that would cause the reported financial information in the accompanying Combined
Historical Summary of Revenue and Certain Operating Expenses and Estimates of
Net Income and Funds from Operations of Certain Acquired Properties to be
misleading or not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

   PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENTS OF INCOME

The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September
30, 1997 gives effect to the purchase of 8 shopping center properties acquired
by the Company in October, November and December 1997 as if these properties had
been acquired as of September 30, 1997.

The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the
year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997 assume
the Shopping Center Acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 1996. The pro
forma information is based on the historical statements of the Company after
giving effect to the acquisition of these properties.

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Statements of Income
have been prepared by the management of the Company. These pro forma statements
may not be indicative of the results that would have actually occurred if the
Shopping Center Acquisitions had been in effect on the date indicated. Also,
they may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved in the future.
The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Income
should be read in conjunction with Kimco Realty Corporation's audited financial
statements as of December 31, 1996 and for the year then ended (which are
contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996), and
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
1997 and for the nine months then ended (which are contained in the Company's
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1997) and the accompanying notes
