NOTES TO CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 include 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 presented 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements (see Footnotes 4, 9 and 12).

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. These investments are held by the Company at the REIT level and not in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company does not expect a U.S. income tax impact associated with the repatriation of undistributed earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

(a) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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 5,963,010 and 8,839,578 stock options that were not dilutive at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company's unvested restricted share awards and convertible units (the “Participating securities”) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the Participating securities on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Participating securities based on dividends declared and the Participating securities rights in undistributed earnings.

New Accounting Pronouncements –

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”), which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 beginning in its third quarter ended September 30, 2015 (see Footnote 2). The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 beginning in its fiscal year 2015 (see Footnote 9). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15”) providing guidance regarding the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance on this matter, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on that line-of-credit arrangement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 focuses to minimize situations under previously existing guidance in which a reporting entity was required to consolidate another legal entity in which that reporting entity did not have: (1) the ability through contractual rights to act primarily on its own behalf; (2) ownership of the majority of the legal entity's voting rights; or (3) the exposure to a majority of the legal entity's economic benefits. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 was anticipated to be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year making it effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 beginning January 1, 2015 and appropriately applied the guidance prospectively to disposals of its operating properties. Prior to January 1, 2015, properties identified as held-for-sale and/or disposed of were presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption and implementation of this ASU resulted in the operations of certain current period dispositions in the ordinary course of business to be classified within continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or cash flows. The disclosures required by this ASU have been incorporated in the notes included herein.

(1)	The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in a property that was held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 50.0% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a loss on change in control of interest of $0.2 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
(2)	The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in 39 properties that were held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 33.3% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain on change in control of interest of $140.0 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.
(3)	The Company acquired from its partner the remaining ownership interest in a property that was held in a joint venture in which the Company had a 20.0% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as a result, recognized a gain on change in control of interest of $6.3 million resulting from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s previously held equity interest, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.

The purchase price for these acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to real estate and related intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with our accounting policies for business combinations. The purchase price allocations and related accounting will be finalized upon completion of the Company’s valuation studies. Accordingly, the fair value allocated to these assets and liabilities are subject to revision. The Company records allocation adjustments when purchase price allocations are finalized. The aggregate purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, has been allocated as follows (in thousands):

	Preliminary Allocation			Allocation Adjustments (*)			Revised Allocation as of September 30, 2015
Land	$	417,566		$	(37,799	)	$	379,767

* In accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-16, which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments relating to purchase price allocations, the Company, during September 2015, adjusted the preliminary allocation amounts recorded for properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The impact of these allocation adjustments on the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are reflected in the table above. In addition, these allocation adjustments resulted in an increase to Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.8 million and a reduction to Revenues from rental properties of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, which related to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired four land parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $37.5 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 50.0% interest in a property previously held in a joint venture in which the Company had a noncontrolling interest for a gross purchase price of $23.0 million. Upon signing this contract, which is expected to close in January 2016, the Company effectively gained control of the entity and is entitled to all economics and risk of loss and as such, the Company now consolidates this property pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. Additionally, as the Company is required to purchase the partners interest at a fixed and determinable price in January 2016, the Company has recognized $11.5 million within Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015. Based upon the Company’s intent to redevelop a portion of the property, the Company allocated $8.4 million of the gross purchase price to Real estate under development on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the remaining $14.6 million was allocated to Operating real estate on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining interest in a previously consolidated joint venture for $30.5 million. The Company continues to consolidate this entity as there was no change in control from this transaction. The purchase of the remaining interest resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $25.0 million and a decrease of $5.4 million to the Company’s Paid-in capital.

Dispositions –

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company disposed of 74 operating properties and six out parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $276.3 million. These transactions resulted in an aggregate gain of $86.2 million, after income tax expense and aggregate impairment charges of $2.2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company obtained a controlling ownership interest in a property that was held in a preferred equity investment in which the Company had a noncontrolling interest and as a result consolidated the property. The property was subsequently sold for $18.7 million, including $16.3 million in mortgage debt, at no gain or loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, the Company had three properties classified as held-for-sale at a carrying amount of $23.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $10.0 million, which are included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The book value of these properties did not exceed their estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and as such no impairment charges were recognized. The Company’s determination of the fair value of these properties was based upon executed contracts of sale with third parties.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the Company reported the operations and financial results of properties held for sale and operating properties sold as Discontinued operations in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon the adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015, operations of properties held-for-sale and operating properties sold are reported in income from continuing operations as they do not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Impairment Charges -

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $27.9 million which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These impairment charges consist of (i) $2.2 million related to the sale of certain operating properties, as discussed above, (ii) $19.6 million related to adjustments to property carrying values for which the Company has decided to market for sale as part of its active capital recycling program and as such has adjusted the anticipated hold periods for such properties, (iii) $5.3 million related to certain investments in other real estate investments and (iv) $0.8 million related to marketable debt securities investment. The Company’s estimated fair value on the properties pending disposition were determined based upon estimated sales price and appraisals. (See Footnote 11 for fair value disclosure).

3. Discontinued Operations

During 2014 and prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015, as further discussed in Note 2, operations of properties held-for-sale and assets sold during the period were classified as discontinued operations. The results of these discontinued operations are included as a separate component of income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption “Discontinued operations”.  This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2014 financial statement amounts. Since adoption of ASU 2014-08 individual property dispositions will no longer qualify as a discontinued operation under the new guidance.

4. Investments and Advances in Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company and its subsidiaries have investments in and advances to various real estate joint ventures.  These joint ventures are engaged primarily in the operation of shopping centers which are either owned or held under long-term operating leases. The Company and the joint venture partners have joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property operations.  As such, the Company holds noncontrolling interests in these joint ventures and accounts for them under the equity method of accounting.  The table below presents joint venture investments for which the Company held an ownership interest at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions, except number of properties):

(1) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, KimPru recognized aggregate impairment charges related to three properties which KimPru anticipates selling or being foreclosed on within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value. The Company’s share of these impairment charges was $2.8 million.

(2) During September 2013, the Intown portfolio was sold and the Company maintained its guarantee on a portion of debt that was assumed by the buyer at closing. The transaction resulted in a deferred gain to the Company of $21.7 million due to the Company’s continued involvement through its guarantee of the debt. On February 24, 2015, the outstanding debt balance was fully repaid by the buyer and as such, the Company was relieved of its related commitments and guarantee. As a result, the Company recognized the deferred gain of $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

(3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, three joint ventures in which the Company holds noncontrolling interests recognized impairment charges relating to the pending sale of two properties and the pending foreclosure of one property. The Company’s share of these impairment charges was $9.8 million, before income tax benefit.

(4) During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, KIR recognized aggregate impairment charges of $5.0 million, of which the Company’s share was $2.8 million, related to two properties which KIR anticipates selling within the next year, therefore effectively shortening its anticipated hold period for these assets which resulted in the expected future cash flows being less than the carrying value.

(5) During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received a distribution of $15.4 million from a joint venture that was in excess of its carrying value and as such, the Company recognized this amount as equity in income.

The following table provides a summary of properties and land parcels disposed of through the Company’s real estate joint ventures or transferred to joint venture partners during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These transactions resulted in an aggregate net gain to the Company of $61.7 million and $59.5 million, before income taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in Equity in income of joint ventures, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

Kimsouth -

Kimsouth Realty Inc. (“Kimsouth”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. KRS AB Acquisition, LLC (the “ABS Venture”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimsouth that has a noncontrolling interest in AB Acquisition, LLC (“AB Acquisition”), a joint venture which owns Albertsons Inc. (“Albertsons”) and NAI Group Holdings Inc. (“NAI”). The Company holds a controlling interest in the ABS Venture and consolidates this entity. During January 2015, two new noncontrolling members were admitted into the ABS Venture, including Colony Capital, Inc. and affiliates (“Colony”), after which the Company contributed $85.3 million and the two noncontrolling members contributed an aggregate $105.0 million, of which Colony contributed $100.0 million, to the ABS Venture, which was subsequently contributed to AB Acquisition to facilitate the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”). As a result of this transaction, the ABS Venture now holds a combined 14.35% interest in AB Acquisition, of which the Company holds a combined 9.8% ownership interest and Colony holds a 4.3% ownership interest. Richard B. Saltzman, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the chief executive officer, president and a director of Colony Capital, Inc. The combined company of Albertsons, NAI and Safeway operates 2,230 grocery stores across 34 states.

The Company continues to consolidate the ABS Venture as there was no change in control following the admission of the members described above. As such, the Company recorded (i) the gross investment in Safeway of $190.3 million in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounts for this investment under the cost method of accounting (ii) a noncontrolling interest of $65.0 million and (iii) an increase in Paid-in capital of $24.0 million, net of a deferred tax effect of $16.0 million, representing the amount contributed by the newly admitted members in excess of their proportionate share of the historic book value of the net assets of ABS Venture.

6. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects

Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at September 30, 2015, is an entity that is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. This entity was established to develop real estate property to hold as a long-term investment. The Company’s involvement with this entity is through its majority ownership and management of the property. This entity was deemed a VIE 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 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 the primary beneficiary of this VIE as a result of its controlling financial interest.

At September 30, 2015, total assets of this ground-up development VIE were $78.1 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 is 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 this ground-up development VIE, aggregating $32.8 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 Redevelopment Investment

Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at September 30, 2015, is an 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, 2015, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $7.4 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 $7.4 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. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a total of 14 loans aggregating $26.2 million all of which were identified as performing loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold its remaining interest in a Canadian preferred equity for a sales price of CAD $8.0 million (USD $6.1 million). In conjunction with this sale the Company issued seller financing of CAD $7.5 million (USD $5.7 million) which bears interest at an annual rate of 5.0% and is scheduled to mature on July 31, 2017.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received full payment relating to three mortgage receivable loans which had an aggregate outstanding balance of $51.9 million. These loans bore interest at rates ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50% to 7.00% and had scheduled maturities ranging from August 2015 to March 2018.

8. Marketable Securities and Other Investments

At September 30, 2015, the Company’s investment in marketable securities was $12.2 million, which includes an aggregate unrealized gain of $1.8 million relating to marketable equity security investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold 7.7 million shares of its Supervalu Inc. common stock for an aggregate price of $70.3 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company realized a gain of $38.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which is included in Interest, dividends and other investment income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (see Footnote 15).

9. Notes and Mortgages Payable

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Beginning in its fiscal year 2015, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and appropriately retrospectively applied the guidance to its Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable to all periods presented. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $25.9 million and $3.1 million are included in Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable, respectively, as of September 30, 2015, and $20.4 million and $3.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs are included in Notes Payable and Mortgages Payable, respectively, as of December 31, 2014 (previously included in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay the Company’s $400.0 million term loan, which was scheduled to mature in April 2015 (with two additional one-year extension options) and bore interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points, and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement for the Term Loan, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum indebtedness ratios and (ii) minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios.

11. 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.

Table Of Contents

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):

	September 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amounts		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amounts		Estimated Fair Value
Marketable securities (1)	$	12,189	$	12,189	$	90,235	$	90,035
Notes payable (2)	$	3,852,640	$	3,940,295	$	3,171,742	$	3,313,936
Mortgages payable (3)	$	1,645,946	$	1,680,714	$	1,424,228	$	1,481,138

(1) As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company determined that $10.5 million and $87.7 million, respectively, of the Marketable securities estimated fair value were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and the remaining $1.7 million and $2.3 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 tables below present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized impairment charges of $28.0 million of which $0.1 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $21.9 million related to adjustments to property carrying values, (ii) $5.3 million related to certain investments in other real estate investments and (iii) $0.8 million related to marketable debt securities investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment charges of $107.0 million of which $78.6 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $102.2 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and (ii) $4.8 million related to a cost method investment.

The Company’s estimated fair values, as they relate to property carrying values and investments in other real estate investments were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from third party offers based on signed contracts and appraisals or letters of intent for which the Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used to determine these estimated fair values.

Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. (See Footnote 2 for additional discussion regarding impairment charges).

At September 30, 2015, the Company had a net $14.6 million of unrealized cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) losses relating to its foreign entity investments in Canada and Chile. The CTA is comprised of $3.7 million of unrealized gains relating to its Canadian investments and $18.3 million of unrealized loss relating to its Chilean investment. 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. The Company may, in the near term, liquidate its investment in Chile, which will require the then unrealized loss on foreign currency translation to be recognized as a charge against earnings.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.  These unaudited financial statements include 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.

Executive Summary

Kimco Realty Corporation is one of the nation’s largest publicly-traded owners and operators of open-air shopping centers. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had interests in 710 shopping center properties (the “Combined Shopping Center Portfolio”), aggregating 104.6 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and 451 other property interests, primarily through the Company’s preferred equity investments and other real estate investments, totaling 8.3 million square feet of GLA, for a grand total of 1,161 properties aggregating 112.9 million square feet of GLA, located in 42 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and Chile.

The executive officers are engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of real estate exclusively with the Company, with nearly all operating functions, including leasing, asset management, maintenance, construction, legal, finance and accounting, administered by the Company.

The Company’s strategy is to be the premier owner and operator of open-air shopping centers through investments primarily in the U.S.  To achieve this strategy the Company is (i) striving to transform the quality of its portfolio by disposing of lesser quality assets and acquiring larger higher quality properties in key markets identified by the Company, (ii) simplifying its business by (a) reducing the number of joint venture investments and (b) exiting Canada, Mexico and South America, which has been substantially completed and (iii) pursuing redevelopment opportunities within its portfolio to increase overall value and certain development opportunities for long-term investment. The Company has an active capital recycling program and during 2014, the Company implemented a plan to accelerate the disposition of certain U.S. properties. This plan effectively shortened the Company’s anticipated hold period for these properties and as such caused the Company to recognize impairment charges on certain consolidated operating properties to reflect their estimated fair values. If the Company accepts sales prices for certain of these assets that are less than their net carrying values, the Company could be required to take additional impairment charges and such amounts could be material. In order to execute the Company’s strategy, the Company intends to continue to strengthen its balance sheet by pursuing deleveraging efforts over time, providing it the necessary flexibility to invest opportunistically and selectively, primarily focusing on open-air shopping centers. The Company also has an institutional management business with domestic and foreign institutional partners for the purpose of investing in open-air shopping centers. In an effort to further its simplification strategy, the Company is actively pursuing opportunities to reduce its institutional management business through partner buy-outs, property acquisitions from institutional joint ventures and/or third party property sales.

Management and other fee income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 by $3.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014. These decreases are primarily attributable to (i) the sale of properties within various joint venture investments and the acquisition of partnership interests in joint ventures by the Company during 2015 and 2014 and (ii) a decrease in enhancement fee income related to InTown Suites of $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, resulting from the repayment of debt that was previously guaranteed by the Company.

General and administrative costs include employee-related expenses (salaries, bonuses, equity awards, benefits, severance costs and payroll taxes), professional fees, office rent, travel expense and other company-specific expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in severance costs and lower personnel related costs attributable to a decrease in the number of employees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized impairment charges of $28.0 million, of which $0.1 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $21.9 million related to adjustments to property carrying values, (ii) $5.3 million related to certain investments in other real estate investments and (iii) $0.8 million related to marketable debt securities investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment charges of $107.0 million, of which $78.6 million, before noncontrolling interests and income taxes, is included in discontinued operations. These impairment charges consist of (i) $102.2 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and (ii) $4.8 million related to a cost method investment. The adjustments to property carrying values for 2015 and 2014 were recognized in connection with the Company’s efforts to market certain properties and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions and the anticipated hold period for such properties. Certain of the calculations to determine fair value utilized unobservable inputs and as such are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest, dividends and other investment income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, by $5.4 million and $37.4 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014.

Other income/(expense), net changed $4.4 million to income of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to an expense of $4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2014. This change is primarily due to a decrease in acquisition related costs.

Interest expense increased $2.8 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014.  These increases are primarily the result of higher levels of borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2014, primarily relating to the acquisition of operating properties during 2015 and 2014.

Provision for income taxes, decreased $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. This decrease is primarily due to (i) lower earnings resulting from the sales of certain properties within the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries during 2015 and 2014, (ii) a decrease in foreign tax expense of $0.7 million, which resulted from the sale of properties at higher gains during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in 2015, and (iii) an increase in tax benefit of $0.4 million related to impairment charges recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014.

Provision for income taxes, decreased $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014.

Equity in income of joint ventures, net decreased $40.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in gains of $9.5 million resulting from the sale of properties within various joint venture investments during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, (ii) an increase in impairment charges of $11.1 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014, (iii) an decrease in equity in income of $15.4 million resulting from a cash distribution received in excess of the Company’s carrying basis in 2014 and (iv) lower equity in income resulting from the sales of properties within various joint venture investments and the acquisition of partnership interests in joint ventures by the Company during 2015 and 2014.

 Tenant Concentration

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties, avoiding dependence on any single property, and a large tenant base.  At September 30, 2015, the Company’s five largest tenants were TJX Companies, The Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, Royal Ahold, and Wal-Mart, which represented 3.4%, 2.3%, 2.0%, 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively, of the Company’s annualized base rental revenues including the proportionate share of base rental revenues from properties in which the Company has less than a 100% economic interest.

Cash flows used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, were $3.6 million, as compared to $432.5 million for the comparable period in 2014.  This change of $428.9 million resulted primarily from (i) an increase in proceeds from issuance of unsecured term loan/notes of $500.0 million, (ii) an increase in borrowings/repayments, net under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility of $269.4 million and (iii) an increase in contributions from noncontrolling interests, net of $105.0 million, primarily relating to the joint venture investment in Safeway, partially offset by (iv) an increase in repayments under unsecured term loan/notes of $229.2 million, (v) an increase in principal payments of $151.2 million, (vi) an increase in redemption of noncontrolling interest of $31.6 million, (vii) an increase in dividends paid of $20.0 million and (viii) a decrease in proceeds from mortgage loan financing of $15.7 million.

The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities, and, based on management’s current assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives that will not materially adversely impact its expected financial results. The Company continues to pursue borrowing opportunities with large commercial U.S. and global banks, select life insurance companies and certain regional and local banks. The Company has noticed a continuing trend that although pricing remains dependent on specific deal terms, generally spreads for non-recourse mortgage financing have been stable. The unsecured debt markets are functioning well and credit spreads are at manageable levels.

Debt maturities for the remainder of 2015 consist of: $168.8 million of consolidated debt and $23.8 million of debt on properties included in the Company’s Preferred Equity Program, assuming the utilization of extension options where available.  The 2015 consolidated debt maturities are anticipated to be repaid with operating cash flows, borrowings from the Company’s revolving credit facility (which at September 30, 2015, had $1.3 billion available) and debt refinancing.  The 2015 debt maturities on properties in the Company’s Preferred Equity Program are anticipated to be repaid through debt refinancing and partner capital contributions, as deemed appropriate.

The Company intends to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios as part of its commitment to maintain its investment-grade debt ratings.   The Company may, from time-to-time, seek to obtain funds through additional common and preferred equity offerings, unsecured debt financings and/or mortgage/construction loan financings and other capital alternatives.

Since the completion of the Company’s IPO in 1991, the Company has utilized the public debt and equity markets as its principal source of capital for its expansion needs. Since the IPO, the Company has completed additional offerings of its public unsecured debt and equity, raising in the aggregate over $10.7 billion.  Proceeds from public capital market activities have been used for the purposes of, among other things, repaying indebtedness, acquiring interests in open-air shopping centers, funding ground-up development projects, expanding and improving properties in the portfolio and other investments.

During February 2015, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which is effective for a term of three years, for the future unlimited offerings, from time-to-time, of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock and common stock warrants. The Company, pursuant to this shelf registration statement may, from time-to-time, offer for sale its senior unsecured debt for any general corporate purposes, including (i) funding specific liquidity requirements in its business, including property acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs and (ii) managing the Company’s debt maturities.

On October 26, 2015, the Company called for the redemption of all of its outstanding 7,000,000 depositary shares of the Company’s 6.90% Class H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Class H Preferred Stock”). The aggregate redemption amount of $175.0 million plus accumulated and unpaid dividends of $1.3 million, will be paid on November 25, 2015. Upon redemption, the Company anticipates to record a non-cash charge of $5.8 million resulting from the difference between the redemption amount and the carrying amount of the Class H Preferred Stock on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the FASB’s guidance on Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. This charge will be subtracted from net income to arrive at net income available to common shareholders and used in the calculation of earnings per share for the period ending December 31, 2015.

Additionally during February 2015, the Company established an at the market continuous offering program (the “ATM program”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through a consortium of banks acting as sales agents. Sales of the shares of common stock may be made, as needed, from time to time in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise (i) at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (ii) at prices related to prevailing market prices or (iii) as otherwise agreed to with the applicable sales agent. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has $500.0 million available under this ATM program.

The Company has a $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which is scheduled to expire in March 2018 with two additional six month options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to March 2019. The Credit Facility, which can be increased to $2.25 billion through an accordion feature, accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 92.5 basis points (1.09% as of September 30, 2015) on drawn funds.In addition, the Credit Facility includes a $500 million sub-limit which provides the Company the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies including Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2015, the Credit Facility had a balance of $425.0 million outstanding and $0.9 million appropriated for letters of credit.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to maintenance of various covenants.  The Company is currently not in violation of these covenants.  The financial covenants for the Credit Facility are as follows:

Covenant	Must Be	As of 9/30/15
Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value (“GAV”)	<60%	44%
Total Priority Indebtedness to GAV	<35%	12%
Unencumbered Asset Net Operating Income to Total Unsecured Interest Expense	>1.75x	4.32x
Fixed Charge Total Adjusted EBITDA to Total Debt Service	>1.50x	2.79x

For a full description of the Credit Facility’s covenants refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 17, 2014, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 20, 2014.

During January 2015, the Company entered into a new $650.0 million unsecured term loan (“Term Loan’) which is scheduled to mature in January 2017, with three one-year extension options at the Company’s discretion, and accrues interest at a spread (currently 95 basis points) to LIBOR or at the Company’s option at a base rate as defined per the agreement (1.15% at September 30, 2015). The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay the Company’s $400.0 million term loan, which was scheduled to mature in April 2015 with two additional one-year extension options and bore interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points, and for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement for the Term Loan, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum indebtedness ratios and (ii) minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. The term loan covenants are similar to the Credit Facility covenants described above.

During March 2015, the Company issued $350.0 million of 30-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 4.25% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in April 2045. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of $342.7 million, after the underwriting discount and related offering costs, for general corporate purposes including to pre-fund near-term debt maturities and partially reduce borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility.

During October 2015, the Company issued $500.0 million of seven-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 3.400% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in November 2022. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of $493.0 million, after the underwriting discount and related offering costs, for general corporate purposes including to pre-fund near-term debt maturities and partially reduce borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility.

The Company’s supplemental indentures governing its senior notes contains the following covenants, all of which the Company is compliant with:

Covenant	Must Be	As of 9/30/15
Consolidated Indebtedness to Total Assets	<65%	41%
Consolidated Secured Indebtedness to Total Assets	<40%	12%
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Maximum Annual Service Charge	>1.50x	5.8x
Unencumbered Total Asset Value to Consolidated Unsecured Indebtedness	>1.50x	2.6x

For a full description of the various indenture covenants refer to the Indenture dated September 1, 1993; First Supplemental Indenture dated August 4, 1994; the Second Supplemental Indenture dated April 7, 1995; the Third Supplemental Indenture dated June 2, 2006; the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 24, 2009; the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 31, 2006; the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 23, 2013 filed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 23, 2013; Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 24, 2014 filed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 24, 2014 and First Supplemental Indenture dated October 31, 2006, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company repaid (i) its $100.0 million 4.904% medium term notes, which matured in February 2015 and (ii) its $100.0 million 5.250% senior unsecured notes, which matured in September 2015.

In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time-to-time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties and construction loans to partially fund the capital needs of its ground-up development projects. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had over 420 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company (i) assumed $710.2 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to the acquisition of 35 operating properties, including an increase of $22.1 million associated with fair value debt adjustments and (ii) paid off $444.9 million of mortgage debt (including fair market value adjustment of $0.8 million) that encumbered 19 operating properties.

In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals.  Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.  Cash dividends paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $340.7 million and $320.7 million, respectively.

Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally intends to continue paying dividends quarterly.  Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.  On July 28, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per common share payable to shareholders of record on October 5, 2015, which was paid on October 15, 2015. Additionally, on November 3, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.255 per common share, an annualized increase of 6.3%, payable to shareholders of record on January 4, 2016, which is scheduled to be paid on January 15, 2016.

Funds from Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding (i) gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and change in control of interests and (ii) extraordinary items, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization of operating properties and (iv) impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

Table Of Contents

The Company presents FFO as it considers it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

The Company also presents FFO as adjusted as an additional supplemental measure as it believes it is more reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes FFO as adjusted provides investors and analysts an additional measure in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. FFO as adjusted is generally calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain transactional income and expenses and non-operating impairments which management believes are not reflective of the results within the Company’s operating real estate portfolio.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net income as a measure of liquidity.  Our method of calculating FFO and FFO as adjusted may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company’s reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO and FFO as adjusted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

FFO would be increased by $336 and $747 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,008 and $2,240 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effect of other 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.

Combined same property net operating income (“Combined same property NOI”)

Combined same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance and should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Combined same property NOI is considered by management to be an important performance measure of the Company’s operations and management believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts and investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance because it includes only the net operating income of properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods including those properties under redevelopment and excludes properties under development and pending stabilization. Properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a projects inclusion in operating real estate. Combined same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the Company's properties.

Combined same property NOI is calculated using revenues from rental properties (excluding straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents and includes charges for bad debt) less operating and maintenance expense, real estate taxes and rent expense and the effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements plus the Company’s proportionate share of Combined same property NOI from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, calculated on the same basis. The effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements is determined by using the current period exchange rate to translate from local currency into U.S. dollars for both periods.

Additionally, the Company presents U.S. Same Property Net Operating Income (“U.S. Same Property NOI”), which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the Company’s Canadian operations from combined same property NOI. The Company provides U.S. Same Property NOI because it believes such measure is frequently used by securities analysts and investors as a valuable measure of period-to-period U.S. operating performance.

The Company’s method of calculating Combined same property NOI and U.S. Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s Income from continuing operations to Combined same property NOI and U.S. Same Property NOI (in thousands):

U.S. Same Property NOI and Combined same property NOI increased by $5.4 million or 2.4% and $5.6 million or 2.2%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. These increases are primarily the result of an increase of $6.3 million related to lease-up and rent commencements in the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in other property income.

U.S. Same Property NOI and Combined same property NOI increased by $19.7 million or 3.0% and $19.9 million or 2.8%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. These increases are primarily the result of an increase of $20.4 million related to lease-up and rent commencements in the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in other property income.

Leasing Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company executed 773 leases totaling over 5.2 million square feet in the Company’s consolidated operating portfolio comprised of 288 new leases and 485 renewals and options. The leasing costs associated with new leases are anticipated to aggregate $42.5 million or $27.30 per square foot. These costs include $33.9 million of tenant improvements and $8.6 million of leasing commissions. The average rent per square foot on new leases was $18.16 and on renewals and options was $15.11.

Based on the Company’s variable-rate debt balances, interest expense would have increased by $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, if short-term interest rates were 1% higher.

The following table presents the Company’s foreign investments and respective cumulated translation adjustments (“CTA”) as of September 30, 2015.  Investment amounts are shown in their respective local currencies and the U.S. dollar equivalents, CTA balances are shown in U.S. dollars:

Foreign Investment (in millions)
Country	Local Currency		US Dollars		CTA Gain/(Loss)
Mexican real estate investments (MXN)		343.9	$	23.0	$	-
Canadian real estate investments (CAD)		380.5	$	285.6	$	3.7
Chilean real estate investments (CLP)		32,775.1	$	46.5	$	(18.3	)

The foreign currency exchange risk has been partially mitigated, but not eliminated, through the use of local currency denominated debt.  The Company has not, and does not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Currency fluctuations between local currency and the U.S. dollar during the period in which the Company held its investment result in a CTA, which is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The CTA amounts are subject to future changes resulting from ongoing fluctuations in the respective foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates are impacted by many factors that cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy. Any change could have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the Company’s CTA balance. The Company’s aggregate CTA net loss balance at September 30, 2015, is $14.6 million.

Under GAAP, the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. The Company may, in the near term, liquidate its investment in Chile, which will require the then unrealized loss on foreign currency translation to be recognized as a charge against earnings.           

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
