ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

         In accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission's (the "SEC") requirement for transitional disclosure, Kimco Realty
Corporation (the "Company") is re-issuing in an updated format the presentation
of its historical financial statements in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144").

         During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company sold and
reclassified as held-for-sale certain properties. In accordance with SFAS 144,
the Company has reported revenues, expenses, gains on disposition and loss on
adjustment of property carrying values from these properties as discontinued
operations for the periods presented in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed
on April 29, 2005 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

         This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7 and 15 (a) 1 of the
Company's 2004 Form 10-K to reflect the revenues and expenses of those
properties sold and reclassified as held-for-sale during the three months ended
March 31, 2005 as discontinued operations for all periods presented. All other
items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged. This reclassification has no effect on
the Company's previously reported net income or net income per common share.



                                  SIGNATURE

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
