Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         Pursuant to the plan of liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation") of
Philips International Realty Corp., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
approved by the stockholders of the Company on October 10, 2000, and as more
fully described in the Company's special meeting proxy statement dated September
8, 2000 (the "Proxy Statement"), the Company has disposed of the following
properties:

         (a) On or about November 30, 2000, the Company, through a series of
unrelated transactions, consummated the distribution of all of its interests in
four (4) shopping center properties located in Hialeah, Florida (collectively,
the "Hialeah Properties") for a total value of approximately $120 million to
certain limited partners (the "Unit Holders") in Philips International Realty,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), including
Philip Pilevsky, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Sheila
Levine, the Company's Chief Operating Officer and Secretary and sister of Mr.
Pilevsky, in redemption of their entire interest in the Operating Partnership
(1,870,873 units) and the assumption of approximately $86 million in debt. The
distributions occurred pursuant to the terms of the Redemption Agreement dated
April 27, 2000 among the Operating Partnership and Philip Pilevsky, as amended,
the Redemption Agreement dated April 28, 2000 among the Operating Partnership
and SL Florida LLC, the Redemption Agreement dated April 28, 2000 among the
Operating Partnership and Allen Pilevsky and the Redemption Agreement dated
April 28, 2000 among the Operating Partnership and Fred Pilevsky.

         On December 4, 2000, the Company also sold its interest in its
redevelopment property located on Third Avenue in New York, New York (the "Third
Avenue Property") to the Unit Holders for approximately $4 million in cash,
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of
June 20, 2000, by 1517-25 Third, L.P., a New York limited partnership, Philip
Pilevsky, SL Florida LLC, Allen Pilevsky and Fred Pilevsky (the "Third Avenue
Transaction"). The Third Avenue Property is encumbered by a $10.0 million first
mortgage which remains in place. The sale of an additional redevelopment site in
Lake Worth, Florida (the "Lake Worth Property") to the Unit Holders for
approximately $7 million is expected to close by year end (the "Lake Worth
Transaction"). The sale of the Hialeah Properties, the Third Avenue Transaction
and the Lake Worth Transaction are collectively referred to as the Pilevsky
Group Transaction.

         The consideration for the distribution of the Hialeah Properties and
the purchase price for the sale of the Third Avenue Property and the Lake Worth
Property was determined as a result of an analysis conducted by Louis J. Petra,
the Company's President, which resulted in an aggregate fair value determination
of approximately $131 million. The Company also retained Houlihan Lokey Howard &
Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. to render a fairness opinion to the effect that
the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company for the Hialeah
Properties, Third Avenue Property and Lake Worth Property is fair to the Company
from a financial point of view. A special committee consisting of the four
independent members of the Company's Board of Directors approved the Pilevsky
Group Transaction. The factors considered in determining the consideration for
the Hialeah Properties, the Third Avenue Property and the Lake Worth Property
include their historical and expected cash flow, the risks with respect to
future redevelopment potential (including adverse possession, zoning,
construction, financing and marketing), the nature of the tenants and terms of
leases in place, occupancy rates, opportunities for alternative and new
tenancies, current operating costs and real estate taxes on the properties and
anticipated changes therein under Company ownership, the physical condition and
locations

of the properties, the anticipated effect on the Company's financial results
(including particularly funds from operations) and other factors including, but
not limited to, those set forth in the Proxy Statement.

         (b) On December 4, 2000, the Company sold eight (8) properties (the
"Kimco Properties") to Kimco Income Operating Partnership. L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Kimco"), for a total consideration of approximately $137
million (the "Purchase Price"), pursuant to an Asset Contribution, Purchase and
Sale Agreement dated as of April 28, 2000, by and among the Operating
Partnership, the Company, certain Affiliated Parties signatory thereto, KIR
Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Kimco, as amended
(the "Kimco Agreement"). The Purchase Price was comprised of $71 million in
cash, mortgage debt assumption of $55 million and redemption of 576,326 units in
the Operating Partnership. The Kimco Properties included two (2) shopping
centers in Connecticut (Branhaven Plaza and Elm Plaza), one (1) in Massachusetts
(Foxboro Plaza), one (1) in New Jersey (Millside Plaza) and four (4) in New York
(Mill Basin Plaza, Meadowbrook Commons, Merrick Commons and Forest Avenue).

         The purchase price for the sale of the Kimco Properties was determined
as a result of arm's-length negotiations between unrelated parties. The factors
considered by the Company in determining the price to be paid for the Kimco
Properties include their historical and expected cash flow, nature of the
tenants and terms of leases in place, occupancy rates, opportunities for
alternative and new tenancies, current operating costs and real estate taxes on
the properties and anticipated changes therein under Company ownership, the
physical condition and locations of the properties, the anticipated effect on
the Company's financial results (including particularly funds from operations)
and other factors. The Company took into consideration prices at which it
believes other comparable properties had recently been sold. The Company
retained (i) Prudential Securities Incorporated to render a fairness opinion to
the effect that the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company for
the Kimco Properties and the properties sold to Kimco on July 14, 2000 (the
"Prior Kimco Properties") (as disclosed in an 8-K dated July 14, 2000) is fair
to the Company from a financial point of view and (ii) Houlihan Lokey Howard &
Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. to render a fairness opinion to the effect that
the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders and the
Operating Partnership's unitholders in connection with the Overall Transaction
(as defined in the Proxy Statement) is fair to them from a financial point of
view.

         (c) Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, on December 5, 2000, the Board
of Directors of the Company declared the initial liquidation distribution of
$13.00 per share which will be payable on December 22, 2000. The record date is
December 15, 2000. However, shareholders must continue to own their shares up to
and including December 22, 2000 in order to be entitled to the liquidating
distribution of $13.00 per share. Effective December 13, 2000, the Company's
shares will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange with due bills which will
entitle the owner of the stock to receipt of the distribution. The Company's
stock will be traded ex-dividend after the payment date of December 22, 2000.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

         (b) Pro forma financial information relative to the sales reported
herein and required pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X is not included
herein, but will be filed by an amendment to this Form 8-K within sixty (60)
days from the date hereof.
