                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                              March 31, 1994 and 1993        


1.       Unaudited Financial Statements and Reclassification

         These consolidated financial statements for interim periods are
unaudited and should be read in connection with the Company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements as of March 31,
1994 and 1993 have been recorded.  Certain items on the consolidated statements
of earnings and cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation.

2.       Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding.  The effect on earnings per share
assuming conversion of the 7.3% convertible subordinated debentures would be
anti-dilutive.  Exercise of the outstanding stock options would not have a
material dilutive effect on earnings per share.

3.       Interest on Short-Term Investments

         Interest income includes income on certificates of deposit of $634,534
for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

4.       Mortgage Loan Investment

         On April 14, 1994, the borrower under the Spanish Quarter Apartments
wrap-around mortgage loan filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The principal balance
of the loan at March 31, 1994 was $5,234,897.  This wrap-around mortgage is
subject to two first mortgages having an aggregate balance of $1,285,267 as of
March 31, 1994.  In accordance with the Company's accounting policy on income
recognition, the Company ceased accruing interest income on the wrap-around
mortgage loan effective April 1, 1994.  The outcome of the bankruptcy
proceedings cannot be determined at this time.

5.       Commitments and Contingencies

         The Company has executed contracts to purchase two shopping centers in
Florida.  The total purchase price is estimated to be $12,700,000, consisting
of approximately $5,300,000 of first mortgage financing and $7,400,000 of cash.

         During 1992, the Company purchased from the Sofran Group and the IBM
Retirement Plan Trust Fund (advised by Dreyfus Realty Advisors) 17 shopping
centers which have certain rental guaranties from the sellers.  At the time of
the purchases,  290,762 shares of the Company's common stock (representing
approximately $3,003,000 of the purchase price) were retained as "holdback
shares."  The Company may be required to issue all or a portion of the holdback
shares at various dates over the holdback periods if certain occupancy levels
on a portfolio basis or on agreed-upon spaces are achieved by the end of the
respective periods.

         The Sofran holdback, which expires January 1995, contained a total of
169,290 shares.  For the period August 1, 1992 through December 31, 1993, the
number of shares available to the sellers was reduced by 110,540 shares and the
Company issued 9,182 shares to the sellers, leaving a balance of 49,568
holdback shares.

         The Dreyfus holdback, which expires December 1995, contained a total
of 121,472 shares.  For the period December 23, 1992 through December 31, 1993,
the number of shares available to the sellers was reduced by 25,387 shares and
the Company issued 31,731 shares to the sellers, leaving a balance of 64,354
holdback shares.

         The shares issued represented additional cost of acquisition for
financial reporting purposes.  In addition, during the holdback periods, the
sellers are entitled to amounts equivalent to dividends on the holdback shares
until such time as their right to receive such holdback shares may be
extinguished at the close of the periods.  The Company paid dividend
equivalents of $10,409 and $25,110 during the first three months of 1994 and
1993, respectively, to the sellers of the Sofran centers.  Also, the Company
paid dividend equivalents of $15,858 and $25,509 during the first quarter of
1994 and 1993, respectively, to the sellers of the Dreyfus centers.  These
payments are considered part of the cost of acquisition on the respective
payment dates.

         Additionally, the seller of one of the IBM/Dreyfus centers pledged
115,343 of its IRT Property Company shares to the Company as collateral for a
guarantee of rents payable by one of the anchor tenants which had filed
bankruptcy.  For the period December 23, 1992 through December 31, 1993, 15,943
shares held as collateral were released to the seller and 773 shares were
retired.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

         Material Changes in Financial Condition. There were no material
changes in the Company's financial condition during the first quarter of 1994.

         During the first quarter of 1994, the Company had an average of
approximately $79,000,000 of the proceeds of the August 1993 equity and debt
offerings invested in short-term money market investments earning an average
interest rate of approximately 3.2%.  This resulted in temporary dilution in
funds from operations.  This temporary dilution will cease as this cash is
invested in higher-yielding real estate investments which the Company is
actively pursuing.

         Material Changes in Results of Operations.  Funds from operations is
defined as net cash flows from operating activities before changes in accrued
assets and liabilities.  Funds from operations totaled $5,261,812 and
$5,000,410 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

         The Company's 1993 property acquisitions, expansions and sales
resulted in net increases in income from rental properties and depreciation and
a net decrease in operating expenses of real estate investments during the
first quarter of 1994.

         The increase in interest income during the quarter ended March 31,
1994 was primarily due to approximately $635,000 of interest earned on
short-term investments.  No cash was available for short-term investing in the
first quarter of 1993.  The 1994 increase was partially offset by a decrease in
interest income of approximately $107,000 due to the repayment of two of the
Company's mortgage loan investments in December 1993.

         During the first quarter of 1994, the Company received percentage
rental totaling $292,000 from its four Wal-Mart investments accounted for as
direct financing leases, an increase of approximately $73,000 over that
received in 1993.

         The decrease in interest on mortgages was primarily due to the
repayment of eleven mortgage notes payable during 1993 and the refinancing of a
12.625% mortgage at 8.125% in March 1994, partially offset by additional
interest from 1993 acquisitions.

         The increase in interest on debentures during the three-month period
ended March 31, 1994 resulted from the issuance of $86,250,000 of 7.3%
convertible subordinated debentures in

                                      -8-

August 1993, partially offset by the Company's redemption of the remaining 2%
convertible subordinated debentures on August 1, 1993.

         The Company had no borrowings under its bank credit facility during
the three months ended March 31, 1994, but had average borrowings of
approximately $2.5 million during the comparable period in 1993.  This resulted
in decreased interest expense on bank debt for the first quarter of 1994.

         The increase in general and administrative expenses in 1994 was
primarily due to the costs of increased administrative and property management
personnel.

         On April 14, 1994, the borrower under the wrap-around mortgage loan
secured by Spanish Quarter Apartments filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  In
accordance with the Company's accounting policy on income recognition, the
Company ceased accruing interest income on this loan effective April 1, 1994.
The outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings cannot be determined at this time.
