Item 5. Other Events

         Metropolitan Life / Venture Properties Acquisition

         On July 1, 1998, certain subsidiaries of Kimco Realty
Corporation (the "Company") acquired from Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company ("Metropolitan") 30 fee and leasehold positions consisting of 29
neighborhood and community shopping center properties and 1
office/distribution facility (the "Properties"). The Properties,
comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of gross leasable area
("GLA") in 5 states, were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of
$167.5 million. The Properties are currently leased to Venture Stores,
Inc. ("Venture") under a single master lease agreement. In accordance with the
master lease, all operating expenses and obligations of the Properties
are the responsibility of Venture.

         In January 1998, Venture filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In April 1998, the Company entered
into an agreement with Venture to purchase Venture's leasehold position
in the Properties and other properties in which the Company has an
interest. The acquisition of the Properties from Metropolitan was
contingent upon bankruptcy court approval of the Company's purchase of
Venture's leasehold positions. The bankruptcy court approved that
agreement in June 1998. Additionally, on May 1, 1998, the Company entered
into an agreement to lease certain of these locations to Kmart
Corporation, subject to the completion of the Company's purchase of
Venture's leasehold positions.

         This acquisition represents a "significant acquisition" pursuant 
to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company is filing this report 
to provide certain historical financial information and pro forma financial 
information for these Properties.

                CERTAIN ACQUIRED METROPOLITAN LIFE PROPERTIES

                 NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUES


1.    Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties

The Historical Summary of Revenues relates to the operations of the
certain acquired properties as described below, while under ownership
previous to Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company").

On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired from Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company ("Metropolitan") 30 fee and leasehold positions consisting of 29
neighborhood and community shopping center properties and 1
office/distribution facility (the "Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life
Properties").

The Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties are subject to a single
master lease agreement between Metropolitan and Venture Stores, Inc.
("Venture"). The lease is an absolute net lease pursuant to which Venture paid
all operating expenses and obligations of the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life
Properties. In accordance with the master lease, rental payments in the amount
of $1,587,000 per month are due through July 2010.

2.    Basis of Presentation

The historical summary has been prepared on the accrual method of accounting.
Operating expenses, including operating and maintenance costs, real estate taxes
and insurance relating to the operation of the Certain Acquired Metropolitan
Life Properties were paid directly by the tenant pursuant to the master lease
and, accordingly, have not been presented in the historical summary. In
accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
depreciation and any general and administrative expenses have been excluded from
the historical summary, as such costs are dependent upon a particular owner,
purchase price or other financial agreements.

3.    Venture Bankruptcy

In January 1998, Venture filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company has not received notice that
Venture will be delinquent in the payment of any rents due. There can be,
however, no assurance that Venture will continue to pay rents as they
become due or that the trustee in bankruptcy will not reject the leases
under which Venture is bound.

In April 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Venture to purchase
Venture's leasehold position in the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life
Properties. The acquisition of the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties
was contingent upon bankruptcy court approval of the Company's purchase of
Venture's leasehold positions. The bankruptcy court approved that agreement in
June 1998. The Company has also entered into an agreement to lease certain of
these locations to another retailer, subject to the completion of the Company's
purchase of Venture's leasehold positions.

                               (Unaudited)

The following represents an estimate of the net income and funds from operations
related to the operation of the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties
based upon the Historical Summary of Revenues of Certain Acquired Metropolitan
Life Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997. These estimated results do
not purport to represent results of operations for these properties in the
future and were prepared on the basis described in the accompanying notes which
should be read in conjunction herewith.

                KIMCO REALTY COPRORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO ESTIMATES OF NET INCOME AND
                          FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
                                    OF
                CERTAIN ACQUIRED METROPOLITAN LIFE PROPERTIES

1.    Basis of Presentation

Depreciation has been estimated based upon an allocation of the purchase price
for the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties to land (20%) and building
(80%) for the fee simple properties and to building (100%) for the properties
subject to ground leases and assumes a 39 year useful life applied on a
straight-line method.

No income taxes have been provided because the Company is organized and
operates in such a manner so as to qualify as a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT") under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
("Code"). Accordingly, the Company generally will not pay Federal income
taxes provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the
amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code.

2.    Acquisition Considerations

         In assessing the properties acquired, the Company's management
considered the existing tenancies, which are initially the primary
revenue source, the occupancy rates, which were 100% on the date of
acquisition, the competitive nature of the markets and comparative rental
rates. Furthermore, current and anticipated maintenance and repair costs,
real estate taxes and capital improvement requirements were evaluated.

         During January 1998, the tenant in occupancy at the Certain
Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties filed for protection under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code. In April 1998 the Company entered into an
agreement with the tenant to purchase its leasehold positions in these
properties. The acquisition of the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties
was contingent upon bankruptcy court approval of the Company' purchase of the
tenant's leasehold positions. In addition, the Company has entered into an
agreement with another retailer to lease certain of these locations, subject to
the completion of the Company's purchase of the current tenant's leasehold
positions.

         Management is not aware of any material factors, except for the 
effect of the Company's contemplated purchase of Venture's leasehold positions
and subsequent re-tenanting efforts, that would cause the reported financial
information in the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues and Estimates of
Net Income and Funds from Operations of Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life
Properties to be misleading or not necessarily indicative of future operating
results.

            PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND
                           STATEMENTS OF INCOME

The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 1998 gives effect to (i) the purchase of four shopping centers
acquired during April and May 1998 which were previously reported on Form
8-K dated May 22, 1998 and (ii) the purchase of the Certain Acquired
Metropolitan Life Properties by the Company as if these properties had been
acquired as of March 31, 1998.

The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31,
1998 assume (i) the purchase of 15 shopping centers acquired during 1998
which were previously reported on Form 8-K dated May 22, 1998 (the
"Shopping Center Acquisitions") and (ii) the purchase of the Certain
Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties had occurred as of January 1, 1997. The 
pro forma information is based on the historical statements of the Company after
giving effect to the acquisition of the Shopping Center Acquisitions and
the Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties.

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Statements of Income
have been prepared by the management of the Company. These pro forma statements
may not be indicative of the results that would have actually occurred if the
Certain Acquired Metropolitan Life Properties had been acquired on the date
indicated. Also, they may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved
in the future. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements
of Income should be read in conjunction with Kimco Realty Corporation's audited
financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended (which
are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended for the
year ended December 31, 1997), and the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months then ended
(which are contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 1998) and the accompanying notes thereto.
