Hmm. This makes the second one of these. The press release
explains it properly. Go to
http://www.kimcorealty.com/News/index.asp and click on the
Jan. 9th release. All the details are there.

Taxable ordinary dividend is a nonqualified dividend. I.e.,
it is taxed at ordinary tax rates. The column labeled Total
Capital Gain Dividend is what you know as a capital gain
distribution. The next three columns break that CGD into its
components so you can complete the capital gain tax
worksheet or Schedule D as the capital gains tax rates
differ for the 3 columns.

Kimco is a REIT. It has just published "Reporting
Information for 2003 Distributions" which I don't
understand. It may have something to do with the new tax
rates on dividends.

Anyhow, for a year's distribution per share of 2.16, Kimco's
info says the Taxable Ordinary Dividend is 1.601588.

What does that mean?

You can see Kimco's announcement by going to www.quicken.com
then getting a stock quote for KIM. It should be under
"news".

There is a similar table for Capital Gains, and I'd like to
know what that means to me too.
