                                   PROSPECTUS

                            KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION

                             SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                           ($.01 Par Value Per Share)
   
         This Prospectus describes our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock 
Purchase Plan and relates to 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of our common stock,
par value $.01 offered pursuant to the terms of the plan. By enrolling in the
plan, your cash dividends on shares held by you of our common stock, par value
$.01, our 7 3/4% Class A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, our 8 1/2%
Class B Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share,  our 8 3/8% Class C
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share and our 7 1/2% Class D Preferred
Stock, par value $1.00 per share are automatically invested for you in shares of
common stock, which will also earn dividends.
    
   
         Each participant in the plan who is an existing stockholder of record
may elect one of the following options:
    
   
         o Full Dividend Reinvestment- Reinvest dividends on all shares of
           common stock and preferred stock registered in the stockholder's
           name. Optional cash payments may also be made of not less than $100
           per payment and up to $25,000 per calendar quarter in the aggregate;
           or
    
   
         o Partial Dividend Reinvestment- Reinvest dividends on fewer than all
           shares of common stock and preferred stock registered in the
           stockholder's name. Optional cash payments may also be made of not
           less than $100 per payment and up to $25,000 per calendar quarter in
           the aggregate; or
    
   
         o Optional Cash Payments- Invest in additional shares of common stock
           by making optional cash payments of not less than $100 per payment
           and up to $25,000 per calendar quarter in the aggregate. Optional
           cash payments will be invested monthly, generally on the 15th day of
           the month.
    
   
         Under all of the plan's investment options, dividends (if declared) on
shares of common stock credited to your dividend reinvestment account are
automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock.
    
   
         Participation in the plan provides several important benefits. A plan
participant is able to make small investments at regular intervals. Shares of
common stock, credited to your dividend reinvestment account, are recorded as
full shares and fractional shares. Dividend reinvestment account shares and
fractional shares also earn dividends, which are credited to your account. There
is no charge for the service. Generally, your dividends will be invested in
common stock with no brokerage fees or other administrative charges. In
the event such fees exceed 5% of the cash dividends you reinvest, you will be
required to pay the entire amount of such fees; however such fees currently do
not and are not expected to exceed 5% of the cash dividends distributed by 
us. In addition, record keeping is simplified for you, since you will
receive a detailed statement of your account each month an investment is made,
including both optional monthly investments and the investment of dividends on a
quarterly basis. Shares are held for you in safekeeping by BankBoston, N.A.
("BankBoston") as agent for the participants in the plan and Plan Administrator.
This convenience provides protection against certificates being lost, stolen, or
misplaced. However, upon written request, a certificate will be issued to you
for any full shares in your account.
    
   
         If you are not a member of the plan, you may join the plan by
delivering a signed authorization form to BankBoston. An authorization form can
be obtained by request from BankBoston. Upon receipt of the authorization form,
your enrollment will be processed and BankBoston will send you a confirmation.
    
         Participation is strictly voluntary. At any time, you may terminate
your account and withdraw your shares, subject to the terms outlined in this
Prospectus.
   
         Cash dividends are still taxable even though reinvested. In addition,
the amount of brokerage commissions paid by us on your behalf will be treated
as a distribution to you which is also subject to income tax. At the end of each
year, you will be given a statement of dividends earned and tax withheld, if
any, to assist you in preparing your tax return.
    
   
         The terms governing the plan are described in this Prospectus. We
suggest that you read the Prospectus carefully and retain it for future
reference.
    
   
         All questions and inquiries concerning the plan should be directed to:

                          FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
   
     Certain statements made or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions. You should not rely on
forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and
which could materially affect our actual results, performance or achievements.
Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
    
 
o general economic and local real estate conditions could change (for example,
  our tenants' business may change if the economy changes, which might affect
  the amount of rent they pay us or their ability to pay rent to us);
 
o the laws and regulations that apply to us could change (for instance, a change
  in the tax laws that apply to REITs could result in unfavorable tax treatment
  for us);
 
o capital availability (for instance, financing opportunities may not be
  available to us, or may not be available to us on favorable terms);
 
o our operating costs may increase; and
 
o suitable acquisition opportunities may not be available to us or may not be
  available to us on favorable terms.
 
   
     For purposes of this Prospectus, we sometimes refer to ourselves as "Kimco"
or the "Company" and our status as a real estate investment trust as a "REIT."
    
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
   
     We began operations through a predecessor in 1966, and today are one of the
nation's largest publicly-traded owners and operators of neighborhood and
community shopping centers (measured by gross leasable area, which we refer to
as "GLA"). As of January 1, 1999, we owned interests in 436 properties,
including:
    
 
   
o 365 neighborhood and community shopping centers;
    
 
   
o two regional malls;
    
 
   
o 61 retail store leases;
    
 
   
o three parcels of undeveloped land;
    
 
   
o one distribution center;
    
 
   
o one stand-alone warehouse; and
    
 
   
o three projects under development.
    
 
   
     These properties have a total of approximately 57.0 million square feet of
GLA and are located in 40 states.
    
 
   
     We believe that we have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in
such a manner to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). We are self-administered and self-
    
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
   
managed through present management, which has owned and managed neighborhood and
community shopping centers for more than 30 years. Our executive officers are
engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of our real estate
exclusively, and we administer nearly all operating functions for our
properties, including leasing, legal, construction, data processing,
maintenance, finance and accounting. Our executive offices are located at 3333
New Hyde Park Road, New Hyde Park, New York 11042-0020 and our telephone number
is (516) 869-9000.
    
 
   
     In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, we are required to distribute at least 95% of our taxable income each
year. Dividends on any preferred stock issued by us are included as
distributions for this purpose. Historically, our distributions have exceeded,
and we expect that our distributions will continue to exceed, taxable income
each year. A portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital.
As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated net worth may decline. We,
however, do not believe that consolidated stockholders' equity is a meaningful
reflection of net real estate values.
    
 
                            DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
                         IN QUESTION AND ANSWER FORMAT
 
PARTICIPATION
 
     1. Who is eligible to enroll in the Plan?
 
          Any Kimco Stockholder with Kimco stock registered in their name on the
     records of our agent BankBoston, N.A. ("BankBoston"), may enroll in the
     Plan. If a stockholder has stock registered in the name of someone else
     (for example, with a bank, broker, or trustee), the holder may be able to
     arrange for that entity to handle the reinvestment of dividends.
     Stockholders should consult directly with the entity holding their Kimco
     stock to determine if they can enroll in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. If
     not, the stockholder should request his or her bank, broker or trustee to
     have some or all of their shares registered in the holder's own name in
     order to participate directly.
 
          Stockholders who are citizens or residents of a country other than the
     United States, its territories and possessions should make certain that
     their participation does not violate local laws governing such things as
     taxes, currency and exchange controls, stock registration, and foreign
     investments.
 
     2. How does an eligible stockholder participate?
 
          To enroll in the Plan, an eligible stockholder must sign the enclosed
     Enrollment Form and mail it to BankBoston. If the stock is registered in
     more than one name (e.g. joint tenants, trustees, etc.), all registered
     holders must sign. You may obtain an Enrollment Form at any time by
     contacting BankBoston.
 
     3. When may an eligible stockholder join the Plan?
 
          As an eligible stockholder, you may join the Plan at any time.
     Participation will begin with the first dividend after the Enrollment Form,
     designating the reinvestment of dividends, is received by BankBoston,
     provided there is sufficient time for processing prior to the record date
     for that dividend, or upon the receipt of a voluntary cash investment
     accompanied by an Enrollment Form. Kimco's dividends are expected to be
     paid on the 15th of January, April, July and October to common stockholders
     and Class B, Class C and Class D preferred stockholders and on the 15th of
     February, May, August and November to Class A preferred stockholders,
     unless that day is not a business day (such as a Sunday), in which case
     they are usually paid on the first business day following. The dividend
     record day normally precedes the payment date by approximately two weeks.
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
 
     4. When will dividends be reinvested toward the purchase of additional
Common shares?
 
          The dividends on Kimco's stock are expected to be paid on the 15th of
     January, April, July and October to common stockholders and Class B,
     Class C and Class D preferred stockholders and on the 15th of February,
     May, August and November to Class A preferred stockholders. The
     reinvestment of dividends
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
     will generally begin on the 15th of the dividend paying month (or the first
     business day following the 15th if that day is not a business day) and will
     normally extend over a two-to five-day period.
 
     5. May I reinvest less than the full amount of my dividends?
 
          By selecting the "Partial Dividend Reinvestment" option on your
     Enrollment Form, you may effectively direct BankBoston to reinvest the
     dividends attributable to a lesser number of shares than the full amount of
     shares you own.
 
     6. How and when can a Participant change the amount of dividends to be
reinvested?
 
          A Participant may change the dividend reinvestment option at any time
     by submitting a newly executed Enrollment Form to BankBoston or by writing
     to BankBoston. A form may be obtained by contacting BankBoston. Any change
     in the number of shares with respect to which BankBoston is authorized to
     reinvest cash dividends must be received by BankBoston prior to the record
     date for a dividend to permit the new amount to apply to that dividend. The
     dividend record date usually precedes the dividend payment date by
     approximately two weeks. Kimco's dividends are expected to be paid on the
     15th of January, April, July and October to common stockholders and
     Class B, Class C and Class D preferred stockholders and on the 15th day of
     February, May, August and November to Class A preferred stockholders,
     unless that day is not a business day (such as a Sunday), in which case
     they would be paid on the first business day following.
 
VOLUNTARY CASH INVESTMENTS
 
     7. How and when may voluntary cash investments be made?
 
          A voluntary cash investment may be made when a Participant enrolls in
     the Plan, and thereafter, as long as a Participant is enrolled in the Plan.
     The Participant may purchase additional shares of Kimco Common Stock by
     sending to BankBoston a check or money order in U.S. currency made payable
     to "BankBoston, N.A." Voluntary cash investments must be received by
     BankBoston one business day prior to the voluntary cash investment date,
     which is generally the 15th of the month. No interest is paid on funds held
     by the Agent pending investment. Participants will be required to pay
     brokerage commissions on Kimco Common Stock purchased in the open market
     within the Plan with voluntary cash investments.
 
     8. When will voluntary cash investments be invested toward the purchase of
additional common shares?
 
          The investment normally begins on the 15th day of the month or, if
     that is not a business day, the first succeeding day which is a business
     day, and usually extends over a two to five day period.
 
     9. What happens if a voluntary cash investment is received after the
voluntary cash investment date?
   
          The purchase of Kimco Common Stock as a result of voluntary cash
     investments received by BankBoston will normally begin on the
     voluntary cash investment date in each month. Funds received after that
     date will be invested the following month. No interest will be paid on
     funds being held for investment. Participants are, therefore, strongly
     urged to submit their voluntary cash investments so as to be received one
     business day prior to the voluntary cash investment date for that month.
     
     10. In what amounts may voluntary cash investments be made?
 
          Voluntary cash investments may not be less than $100 and the total of
     all such investments may not exceed $25,000 in any calendar quarter. There
     is no obligation to make a voluntary cash investment at any time, and the
     amount of such investments may vary from month to month. Participants will
     be required to pay brokerage commissions on Kimco Common Stock purchased in
     the open market within the Plan with voluntary cash investments.
 
          Each voluntary cash contribution must be accompanied by a properly
     executed Cash Remittance Form which is attached to each statement you
     receive. Cash contributions should be made payable, drawn against United
     States banks and in United States dollars, and mailed directly to
     BankBoston, N.A., c/o EquiServe, Dividend Reinvestment Dept., P.O. Box
     9041, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-9835. Checks drawn against Non-U.S. Banks
     must have the U.S. currency imprinted on the check. CASH CONTRIBUTIONS
     FORWARDED TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
          In the event that any check is returned unpaid for any reason, the
     Agent will consider the request for investment of such money null and void
     and shall immediately remove from the Participant's account shares, if any,
     purchased upon the prior credit of such money. A $25.00 fee will also be
     assessed against the Participant's account. The Agent shall thereupon be
     entitled to sell these shares to satisfy any uncollected amounts and the
     $25.00 fee. If the net proceeds of the sale of such shares are insufficient
     to satisfy the balance of such uncollected amounts and the $25.00 fee, the
     Agent shall be entitled to sell such additional shares from the
     participant's account as may be necessary to satisfy the uncollected
     balance.
 
     11. How does a Participant request a refund of a voluntary cash investment?
 
          A Participant may obtain a refund of any voluntary cash investment not
     yet invested upon written request to BankBoston provided such request is
     received not later than two business days prior to the voluntary cash
     investment date.
 
     12. Where should voluntary cash investments be mailed?
 
          Voluntary cash investments, made by check or money order, in United
     States currency, and payable to BankBoston, N.A., may be mailed to:
 
                                BankBoston, N.A.
                                 c/o EquiServe
                          Dividend Reinvestment Dept.
                                 P.O. Box 9041
                        Boston, Massachusetts 02205-9835
 
COMMON SHARE PURCHASES
 
     13. What is the source of Kimco Common Stock to be purchased under the
Plan?
 
          Shares purchased under the Plan will be shares purchased for
     Participants in the "open market" (by BankBoston on the New York Stock
     Exchange or any securities exchange where Kimco's Common Stock is traded,
     in the over-the-counter market, or in negotiated transactions), and may be
     subject to such terms with respect to price, delivery and other matters as
     to which BankBoston may agree. Alternatively, or in combination with "open
     market" purchases, Kimco has the right to satisfy its obligations hereunder
     by registering and issuing additional shares of Common Stock, subject to
     compliance with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations
     thereunder.
 
     14. When will shares be purchased?
 
          Shares purchased in the open market by BankBoston will generally be
     purchased during the period beginning on the 15th day of the month (or the
     first business day following if the 15th is not a business day) and usually
     extending over two to five business days. Shares purchased by BankBoston
     from Kimco will generally be purchased on the dividend payment or voluntary
     cash investment date.
 
     15. What is the price of shares purchased under the Plan?
 
          The price of shares purchased in the open market will be the average
     price of all shares purchased for the Plan over the period of days such
     purchases are made with the net proceeds of the dividends and/or voluntary
     cash investments then being invested. The price of shares purchased from
     Kimco will be the closing price of Kimco's Common Stock on the New York
     Stock Exchange, or any other securities exchange where Kimco's Common Stock
     is traded, as of the close of business on the second business day prior to
     the dividend payment or voluntary cash investment date.
 
     16. How many shares will be purchased for Participants?
 
          The number of shares to be purchased for a Participant will depend on
     the net amount of the Participant's dividend or voluntary cash investment,
     or both, and the price of the shares. Each Participant's account will be
     credited with the number of shares, including fractions, to three decimal
     places equal to the total of a Participant's funds available for
     investment, divided by the purchase price. Whole and fractional
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
     shares that accumulate in the Plan will earn dividends, and these dividends
     also will be automatically reinvested.
 
COSTS
 
     17. What costs are associated with investments in the Plan?
 
          All costs of administration of the Plan will be paid by the Company.
     Brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the reinvestment of a
     Participant's dividends (as opposed to voluntary cash investments) through
     open market purchases of Common Stock made pursuant to the Plan will be
     paid by the Company, but only in the event that such commissions do not
     exceed 5% of the cash dividends reinvested by such Participant pursuant to
     the Plan. In the event that such brokerage commissions exceed 5% of the
     cash dividends reinvested by such Participant, the entire amount of such
     commissions will be charged to the Participants. The brokerage commissions
     currently do not, and are not expected to in the future exceed five percent
     of the cash dividends distributed by the Company. All brokerage commissions
     incurred in connection with open market purchases made pursuant to the Plan
     with respect to voluntary cash investments will be charged to the
     Participants.
 
     18. What are the costs associated with selling shares held in the Plan?
 
          BankBoston will charge brokerage commissions, transfer taxes (if any)
     and a $5.00 service fee for each authorization to sell shares held in the
     Plan.
 
CUSTODIAL SERVICE
 
     19. How does the custodial service work?
 
          All shares of Kimco Common Stock that are purchased by Participants on
     the reinvestment of their dividends and/or voluntary cash investments are
     held in the name of BankBoston or its nominee and the shares are added to
     the Participants' balance in the Plan.
 
SALE OF PLAN SHARES
 
     20. Can the shares held in the Plan be sold through BankBoston ?
 
          A Participant can instruct BankBoston to sell any or all of the whole
     shares held in the Plan. The written notification to BankBoston should
     include the number of whole shares that are to be sold. BankBoston will
     make the sale as soon as practicable after receipt of a Participant's
     request and a check for the proceeds less brokerage commission, transfer
     taxes (if any) and a $5.00 service fee will usually be sent after the
     settlement date which is three business days from the date of sale.
 
          No participant shall have the authority or power to direct the date or
     sales price at which Common Stock may be sold. Requests must indicate the
     number of shares to be sold and not the dollar amount to be attained. Any
     such request that does not clearly indicate the number of shares to be sold
     will be returned to the Participant with no action taken.

      net amount of the Participant's dividend or voluntary cash investment, or

      that accumulate in the Plan will earn dividends, and these dividends also
      will be automatically reinvested.

ISSUANCE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES

21.   Will stock certificates be issued for shares purchased?

      Stock certificates will not be issued unless a written request is made to
      BankBoston. The number of shares you hold in the Plan will be shown on
      your regular statement of account. The service protects against loss,
      theft or destruction of stock certificates.

22.   How does a Participant request a stock certificate issuance?

      By contacting BankBoston in writing, you may request, without charge, a
      stock certificate for any or all of the whole shares held for you in the
      Plan.

TERMINATION OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

23.   How do I terminate my participation in the Plan?

      In order to terminate participation in the Plan a Participant must notify
      BankBoston in writing. After receipt of such notice, dividends will be
      sent to the stockholder in the usual manner. No voluntary cash investments
      may be made after participation in the Plan is terminated.

      No participant shall have the authority or power to direct the date or
      sales price at which Common Stock may be sold. Requests must indicate the
      number of shares to be sold and not the dollar amount to be attained. Any
      such request that does not clearly indicate the number of shares to be
      sold will be returned to the Participant with no action taken.

24.   When will a termination notice be effective?

      A termination notice will be effective within 10 business days of receipt
      by BankBoston, providing such notice is received prior to the record date
      for a dividend or a voluntary cash investment. A withdrawal/termination
      form is provided on the reverse side of the account statement for this
      purpose. This notice should be addressed to BankBoston, N.A., c/o
      EquiServe, Dividend Reinvestment Dept., P.O. Box 8040, Boston,
      Massachusetts 02266-8040.

25.   How are shares distributed upon termination?

      Upon termination, a certificate for all whole shares held by a Participant
      under the Plan will be issued. Alternatively, a Participant may specify in
      the termination notice that some or all of the whole shares be sold. Any
      fractional shares held in the Plan at the time of termination will be
      converted to cash and the Participant will receive a check for the net
      proceeds.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

26.   What are the income tax consequences of participation in the Plan?

      The reinvestment of dividends does not relieve the Participant of any
      income tax which may be payable on such dividends.

      In addition, the amount of brokerage commissions paid by Kimco on your
      behalf will be treated as a distribution to you which is also subject to
      income tax. The amount paid for brokerage commissions will be includable
      in your cost basis of shares purchased. The information return sent by
      BankBoston, N.A., c/o EquiServe, Dividend Reinvestment Dept., P.O. Box
      8040, Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8040 to you and the IRS at the end of
      the year will show the amount of the dividends paid to you.

      The income tax consequences for Participants who do not reside in the
      United States may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.


                                       9

<PAGE>

      Those considering participation in the Plan are urged to consult with
      their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences (including
      the federal, state and local tax consequences) that may result from their
      participation in the Plan and of potential changes in applicable tax laws.

27.   How are federal income tax withholding provisions applied to stockholders
      who participate in the Plan?

      If you fail to provide certain federal income tax certifications in the
      manner required by law, dividends on stock and proceeds from the sale of
      any shares held for your account are subject to federal income tax
      withholding, currently at the rate of 31%. Certain stockholders (including
      most corporations) are, however, exempt from the above withholding
      requirements, provided that certain certifications are made.

      If you are foreign stockholder whose dividends are subject to United
      States income taxes withholding at the current 30% rate (or lower treaty
      rate), the appropriate amount will be withheld and the balance will be
      used to purchase additional shares.

PLAN ADMINISTRATION

28.   How will the Plan be administered?

      BankBoston for Kimco, or a successor selected by Kimco, will administer
      the Plan for Participants, keep records, send statements of account to
      Participants, answer Participant's questions and perform other duties
      related to the Plan.

29.   Who should Participants contact for answers to questions regarding the
      Plan?

      All inquiries regarding the Plan should be sent to:

                                BankBoston, N.A.
                                  c/o EquiServe
                           Dividend Reinvestment Dept.
                                  P.O. Box 8040
                        Boston, Massachusetts 02266-8040

30.   What kind of reports will be sent to Participants in the Plan?

      As soon as practicable after each purchase, a statement of account will be
      mailed to you by BankBoston. These statements are your continuing record
      of current activity and should be retained for tax purposes. In addition,
      each participant will receive all communications sent to every other
      stockholder. Participants should be aware that it is important to retain
      all statements received as there could be a fee incurred when requesting
      the Agent to supply historical information.

31.   Can shares held in the Plan be pledged or assigned?

      Shares held in the Plan may not be pledged or assigned and any such
      purported pledge or assignment shall be void. If you wish to pledge or
      assign shares, you must request that a stock certificate for such shares
      be issued in your name. Stock certificates for fractional shares will not
      be issued under any circumstances.

32.   How will your shares held by BankBoston be voted at stockholders'
      meetings?

      Shares held for you by BankBoston will be voted as you direct. Each
      Participant will receive a proxy voting card for the total of their Kimco
      shares, including whole shares they hold in the Plan. If no instructions
      are received, the shares will not be voted.


                                       10

<PAGE>

33.   What are the liabilities of Kimco and BankBoston under the Plan?

      Neither Kimco nor BankBoston shall be liable under the Plan for any act
      done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including,
      without limitation, any claims of liability 1) arising out of failure to
      terminate the Participant's account upon such Participant's death prior to
      receipt of notice in writing of such death or (2) with respect to the
      prices at which shares are purchased or sold for the Participant's account
      and the times such purchases or sales are made.

34.   May the Plan be changed or discontinued?

      Kimco reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan,
      but such action shall have no retroactive effect that would prejudice the
      interests of the Participants. In the event of Plan termination,
      certificates for whole shares held by each Participant in the Plan will be
      delivered together with a check for the net proceeds of the value of any
      fractional shares.

35.   What law governs the Plan?

      The terms and conditions of the Plan and its operation shall be governed
      by the laws of the State of New York.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

   
         We will use the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered
pursuant to the plan for general corporate purposes.

                                                                   ==========

ITEM 15.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") permits a Maryland
corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its
directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages
except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or
profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty
established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The
charter of the Company contains such a provision which eliminates such liability
to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

         The charter of the Company authorizes it, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, to obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to
(a) any present or former director or officer or (b) any individual who, while a
director of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise. The Bylaws of the Company obligate it, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any present or
former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of
his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a director of the
Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any
other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and
who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity.
The charter and Bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses
to any person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of
the Company.

         The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Company's charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he is made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL
permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and
officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding
to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director
or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was
committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal
benefit in


                                      II-1

<PAGE>

money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse
judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation. In addition, the MGCL
requires the Company, as a condition to advancing expenses to obtain (a) a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he
has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as
authorized by the Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or on his behalf to
repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

(a)   Rule 415 Offering.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

(b)   Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)    Acceleration of Effectiveness.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described under Item 15, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the

                TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF KIMCO REALTY CORPORATION
              DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND COMMON STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION.

         The purpose of the Kimco Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to provide the stockholders of Kimco Realty
Corporation ("Kimco") an opportunity to automatically invest their cash
dividends in additional shares of Common Stock of Kimco as well as to make
monthly or other voluntary cash investments of not less than $100 and not more
than $25,000 per quarter. The Plan will be administered by BankBoston, N.A.
("BankBoston").

2.  PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES.

(a) As Participant's Agent, BankBoston will receive (i) dividend cash from Kimco
on the common and preferred shares of Kimco held by each stockholder of Kimco
participating in the Plan, as well as those full and fractional shares (computed
to three decimal places) acquired under the Plan, and (ii) voluntary cash
investments from Participants. BankBoston or other authorized agent will apply
such funds toward the purchase of Kimco Common Stock for the Participant's
account. Such purchases may be made on the New York Stock Exchange or any
securities exchange where the Kimco's Common Stock is traded, in the
over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, and may be on such terms
as to price, delivery and otherwise as BankBoston or other authorized agent may
determine. Alternatively, or in combination with open market purchases, Kimco
has the right to satisfy its obligations hereunder by registering and issuing
additional shares of Common Stock, subject to compliance with the Securities
Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder. BankBoston will generally invest
all funds received as dividend cash from Kimco beginning on the dividend payment
date as declared by Kimco from time to time and normally continuing for a period
of two to five days from such dividend payment date. BankBoston will generally
invest all funds received as voluntary cash investments once per month beginning
on the voluntary cash investment date, which is generally the 15th of each month
or, if that is not a business day, the first succeeding day which is a business
day and normally continuing for a period of two to five days from such voluntary
cash investment date. No interest will be paid on funds held by BankBoston.

         Voluntary cash investments received by BankBoston will be returned to a
Participant upon written request received by BankBoston at least (2) business
days prior to the date shares of Common Stock would have otherwise been
purchased by BankBoston on behalf of such Participant.


<PAGE>

(b) In making purchases for the Participant's account, BankBoston or other
authorized agent may commingle the Participant's funds with those of other Kimco
stockholders participating in the Plan. The price at which the shares shall be
deemed to have been acquired for the Participant's account shall be the average
price of all shares purchased by the agent for all Participants in the Plan
without reduction for commission, (to the extent paid by Kimco). The price of
shares acquired in the open market with voluntary cash investments will be
adjusted to reflect brokerage commissions paid by the Participants. BankBoston
may hold the shares of all Participants on deposit in its name or in the name of
its nominee. BankBoston shall have no responsibility as to the value of Kimco
Common Stock acquired for the Participant's account. It is understood that for a
number of reasons, including observance of the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission requiring temporary curtailment or suspension
of purchases, it is possible that the whole amount of funds available in the
Participant's account for the purchase of shares of Kimco might not be applied
to the purchase of such shares on or before the next ensuing dividend payment
date or voluntary cash investment date. BankBoston shall not be liable when
conditions prevent the purchase of shares or interfere with the timing of such
purchases. No Participant shall have any authority or power to direct the time
or price at which Common Stock may be purchased.

3.  ACCOUNTS.

         As soon as practicable after the purchase of shares has been completed,
BankBoston will send each Participant a statement of account confirming the
transaction and itemizing any previous reinvestment activity for the calendar
year.

         Shares credited to a Participant's account may not be pledged or
assigned and any attempted pledge or assignment is void. A Participant who
wishes to pledge or assign Common Stock credited to his account must first
withdraw such shares from the account.

4.  AUTHORIZATION.

         Stockholder authorization for dividend reinvestment must be received by
BankBoston at least three (3) days prior to the record date for dividends on
Kimco stock; otherwise such authorization shall not be effective until the next
dividend record date.

5.  INCOME TAX.

         The reinvestment of dividends does not relieve the Participant of any
income tax which may be payable on such dividends. BankBoston will report to
each Participant for tax purposes the dividends credited to his account and the
amount of brokerage commissions paid by Kimco on behalf of the participant. Such
information will also be furnished to the IRS to the extent required by law.

         In addition, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982
imposes certain reporting obligations on brokers and other middlemen. As a
result, BankBoston will be required to report to the IRS and the Participant any
sale of Common Stock by it on behalf of a participant.

6.  VOTING.

         BankBoston will not vote any shares that it holds for a Participant's
account except as directed by the Participant. If no instructions are received,
the shares will not be voted.

7.  CERTIFICATES.

         Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan are registered in the
name of a nominee and shown on each Participant's account. However, a
Participant may request a certificate for any of the whole


<PAGE>

shares which have accumulated in such Participant's account by writing a letter
of instruction or completing and signing the withdrawal of shares section on the
reverse side of the account statement. Each certificate issued is registered in
the name or names in which the account is maintained, unless otherwise
instructed in writing. If the certificate is to be issued in the name other than
the name of the Plan account, the Participant or Participants must have his or
her signature(s) guaranteed by a commercial bank or a broker. Certificates for
fractional shares will not be issued in any case. Dividends will continue to be
paid on the cumulative holdings of both full and fractional shares remaining in
the Participant's account and will automatically be reinvested.

8.  TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION.

         A Participant may terminate the account at any time by notifying
BankBoston in writing. Unless the termination notice is received by BankBoston
prior to any dividend record date, it cannot be processed until after purchases
made from the dividends paid have been completed and credited to Participants'
accounts. All dividends with a record date after timely receipt of notice for
termination will be sent directly to the Participant. If a termination notice is
not received by BankBoston at least two (2) business days prior to a voluntary
cash investment date the voluntary cash investment may be invested. Once
termination has been effected, BankBoston will issue to the Participant, without
charge, certificates for the full shares held in his account or, if he so
requests, sell the full shares held under the Plan, deduct brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes (if any) and a service charge of $5.00 and deliver
the proceeds to him. The Participant's interest in any fractional shares held in
his account at termination will be paid in cash at the then current market value
of the Common Stock. If a Participant disposes of all shares represented by
certificates registered in his own name on the books of Kimco but does not give
notice of termination under the Plan, BankBoston may continue to reinvest the
dividends on his stock held under the Plan until otherwise directed.

9.  STOCK DIVIDENDS.

         It is understood that any stock dividends or split shares distributed
by Kimco on shares held by BankBoston for the participant will be credited to
the Participant's account. In the event that Kimco makes available to its
stockholders rights to purchase additional shares or other securities, the
Participant will receive appropriate instructions in connection with all such
rights directly from BankBoston in order to permit a Participant to determine
what action he desires to take.

10.  RESPONSIBILITY OF BANKBOSTON.

         Neither Kimco nor BankBoston shall be liable hereunder for any act done
in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without
