Interim Financial Statements

Business -

Kimco Realty Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), affiliates and related real estate joint ventures are engaged principally in the ownership, management, development and operation of open-air shopping centers, which are anchored generally by discount department stores, grocery stores or drugstores. Additionally, the Company provides complementary services that capitalize on the Company

’s established retail real estate expertise.

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, with respect to each taxable year, the Company must distribute at least

percent of its taxable income (excluding capital gain) and does

not

pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders. The Company is

not

generally 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 (“TRSs”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities which the REIT

may

not

conduct directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on its income, and the Company includes, when applicable, 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 subsidiaries. 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.

Principles of Consolidation -

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of 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”) 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 audited Annual Report on Form

-K for the year ended

December 31, 2016 (

the

“10

-K”), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form

-Q for the quarterly period ended

September 30, 2017,

that would duplicate those included in the

-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 Footnote

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):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30 ,						September 30 ,
	2017			2016			2017			2 01 6
Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share:
Net income /(loss) available to the Company's common shareholders		101,957			(55,100	)		298,996			265,912
Earnings attributable to participating securities		(526	)		(502	)		(1,596	)		(1,493	)
Net income /(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders for basic earnings/(loss) per share		101,431			(55,602	)		297,400			264,419
Distributions on convertible units		24			-			43			-
Net income /(loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders for diluted earnings/(loss) per share		101,455			(55,602	)		297,443			264,419

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		423,688			420,073			423,574			416,829
Effect of dilutive securities (a):
Equity awards		513			-			556			1,405
Assumed conversion of convertible units		110			-			63			-
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		424,311			420,073			424,193			418,234

Net income /(loss) available to the Company's common shareholders:
Basic earnings/(loss) per share		0.24			(0.13	)		0.70			0.63
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share		0.24			(0.13	)		0.70			0.63

(a)

The effect of the assumed conversion of certain convertible units had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share. Accordingly, the impact of such conversions has

not

been included in the determination of diluted earnings/(loss) per share calculations. Additionally, there were

2,314,908

and

3,545,000

stock options that were

not

dilutive as of

September 30, 2017

and

2016,

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

–

The following table represents

Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) that are

not

yet effective for the Company and for which the Company has

not

elected early adoption, where permitted:

ASU	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2017 - 09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ): Scope of Modification Accounting	The amendment provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date.	January 1, 2018; Early adoption permitted	The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and/or results of operations.
ASU 2017 - 05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“Subtopic 610 - 20” ): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets	The amendment clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610 - 20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and defines the term in substance nonfinancial asset. ASU 2017 - 05 also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610 - 20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. Subtopic 610 - 20, which was issued in May 2014 as part of ASU 2014 - 09, discussed below, provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2017 - 05 at the same time it applies the amendments in ASU 2014 - 09 discussed below. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in ASU 2017 - 05 either retrospectively to each period presented in the financial statements in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, paragraphs 10 - 45 - 5 through 10 - 45 - 10 (i.e. the retrospective approach) or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (i.e. the modified retrospective approach). An entity may elect to apply all of the amendments in ASU 2017 - 05 and ASU 2014 - 09 using the same transition method, or alternatively may elect to use different transition methods.	January 1, 2018; Early adoption is permitted if adopted with ASU 2014 - 09	The Company will adopt the provisions of Subtopic 610 - 20 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Up on adoption, t he Company will appropriately apply the guidance to prospective disposals of nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610 - 20.

ASU 2016 - 13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The new guidance introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016 - 13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity ’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses.	January 1, 2020; Early adoption permitted	The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and/or results of operations.
ASU 2014 - 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ) ASU 2015 - 14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ): Deferral of the Effective Date ASU 2016 - 08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ): Principal versus Agent Considerations ASU 2016 - 10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ): Identifying performance obligations and licensing ASU 2016 - 12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ): Narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients	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, 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. Subsequently, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 08, which further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, and in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 10, an update on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. Additionally, in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 12, which includes amendments for enhanced clarification of the guidance. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date.	January 1, 2018; Early adoption permitted as of original effective date, which was January 1, 2017	The Company ’s revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases that are not within the scope of this standard, except for the lease component relating to common area maintenance (“CAM”) reimbursement revenue, which will be within the scope of this standard upon the effective date of ASU 2016 - 02 discussed below. The Company continues to evaluate the effect the adoption will have on the Company’s other sources of revenue which include management and other fee income. However, the Company currently does not believe the adoption will significantly affect the timing of the recognition of the Company’s management and other fee income. The Company plans to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.
ASU 2016 - 02, Leases (Topic 842 )	This ASU sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016 - 02 supersedes the previous leases standard, Leases (Topic 840 ).	January 1, 2019; Early adoption permitted	The Company continues to evaluate the effect the adoption will have on the Company ’s financial position and/or results of operations. However, the Company currently believes that the adoption will not have a material impact for operating leases where it is a lessor and will continue to record revenues from rental properties for its operating leases on a straight-line basis. However, for leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s ground leases and administrative office leases, the Company will be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value upon adoption. In addition, direct internal leasing costs will continue to be capitalized, however, indirect internal leasing costs previously capitalized will be expensed. Within the terms of the Company’s leases where the Company is the lessor, the Company is entitled to receive reimbursement amounts from tenants for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and other CAM. CAM reimbursement revenue will be accounted for in accordance with Topic 606 upon adoption of this ASU 2016 - 02. The Company continues to evaluate the effect the adoption will have on this source of revenue. However, the Company currently does not believe the adoption will significantly affect the timing of the recognition of the Company’s CAM reimbursement revenue.

he following ASU’s to the FASB’s ASC have been adopted by the Company:

ASU	Description	Adoption Date	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2017 - 01, Business Combinations (Topic 805 ): Clarifyi ng the Definition of a Business	The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation.	January 1, 2017; Elected early adoption	The Company ’s operating property acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, qualified for asset acquisition treatment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, rather than business combination treatment under ASC 805 Business Combinations, and resulted in the capitalization of asset acquisition costs rather than directly expensing these costs.
ASU 2016 - 09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting	The update simplifies several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.	January 1, 2017	The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company ’s financial position and/or results of operations.
