Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

                  Kimco Realty Corporation (the "Company") is filing as an
exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporating herein by
reference, the figures used to calculate the Company's ratio of earnings to
fixed charges and ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred
stock dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

                  For purposes of computing these ratios pursuant to Item 503 of
Regulation S-K, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding
capitalized interest), amortization of capitalized interest and distributed
income of equity investees to pre-tax income from continuing operations before
adjustment for minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income/loss
from unconsolidated partnerships. Fixed charges consist of interest costs,
whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental expense, and
amortization of debt discounts and issue costs, whether expensed or capitalized.
