1.        Unaudited Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1999 and 1998 have
been recorded. The results of operations for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future interim
periods or for the full year.

2.        Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period consistent with the
guidelines of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
The effect of the Convertible Debentures and certain stock options and
non-vested restricted stock, using the treasury stock method, have been excluded
from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share, as they are anti-dilutive.

5.         Investment in Joint Venture

  IRT Capital Corporation ("IRTCC"), a taxable subsidiary of the Company, was a
50% owner of a joint venture which purchased in 1996 a 1.31 acre parcel of land
located in Savannah, Georgia, for development or sale. During March 1998, this
parcel was sold for a total sales price of $464,000. IRTCC, which is accounted
for by the Company under the equity method, recognized income from the joint
venture of $54,000 in 1998.

6.         Mortgage Loans

  During the fourth quarter of 1997, the borrower under the Spanish Quarter
Apartments wrap-around mortgage loan defaulted under the terms of the mortgage,
and on February 18, 1998, the Company obtained title to the property through
foreclosure. On August 14, 1998, the Company sold Spanish Quarter Apartments for
approximately $5,100,000. The Company received net cash proceeds from the sale
of approximately $4,806,000 and recognized a gain, net of deferred income tax,
of approximately $469,000 for financial reporting purposes.

7.         Commitments and Contingencies

  IRTCC has entered into a co-development agreement for the development of a
Kroger anchored shopping center in Decatur, Georgia. The project will be
developed in two phases totaling approximately 140,000 square feet, not
including two outparcels, at a total anticipated cost of approximately
$14,100,000. The venture may require the Company to purchase the shopping center
upon the completion of Phase I at cost or upon the completion of Phase II at the
greater of cost or a 10.75% capitalization rate. It is anticipated that the
Company will ultimately acquire the project upon completion.

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

         Material Changes in Financial Condition. During the first quarter of
1999 the Company obtained a $40,000,000 loan secured by first mortgages on eight
properties. The Company utilized funds of:

         a) $32,500,000 to pay down its unsecured revolving term loan,

         b) $15,517,000 for the acquisition of two shopping center investments,
consisting of cash of approximately $9,775,000 and mortgage debt of
approximately $5,742,000 secured by one of the centers,

         c) $625,000 to repay at maturity a 9% purchase-money mortgage, and

         d) $365,000 to secure a mortgage note receivable on land to possibly be
utilized in a future development.

         During the first quarter of 1998 the Company borrowed $20,600,000 under
its unsecured revolving term loan. It utilized funds of:

         a) $22,588,000 for the acquisition of three shopping center
investments, consisting of cash of approximately $20,356,000 and mortgage debt
of approximately $2,232,000 secured by one of the centers,

         b) $2,224,000 to repay at maturity an 11% mortgage (discounted to 9.75%
for financial reporting purposes), and

         c) $625,000 to make a scheduled principal payment under a 9%
purchase-money mortgage.

           Additionally, in 1998, $5,178,000 of the Company's 7.3% convertible

         Material Changes in Results of Operations. During the first quarter of
1999, rental income from the Company's portfolio of shopping center investments:

         a) increased approximately $391,000 for the core portfolio,

         b) increased approximately $2,602,000 due to the acquisition of nine
shopping centers in 1998 and two in 1999,

         a) the assumption of a $2,232,000 mortgage bearing interest at 7.65%
upon the acquisition of Town & Country shopping center in January, 1998,

         b) the assumption of three mortgages for a combined amount of

<PAGE>   10

Mableton Crossing in August, 1998 (Mableton was acquired without debt in June,

decreased approximately $660,000 due to the repayment of five mortgages in 1997
and one in 1998 and increased approximately $167,000 due to:

         a) the assumption of a $6,793,000 mortgage bearing interest at 7.865%
upon the acquisition of Grassland Crossing in February, 1997,

         b) the placement of a $1,250,000 purchase-money mortgage bearing

         d) the assumption of a $2,232,000 mortgage bearing interest at 7.675%

         Interest expense on bank indebtedness increased approximately $289,000
for the first quarter of 1999. The Company had average borrowings of
approximately $37,430,000 and $17,052,000 at effective interest rates of 6.43%
and 7.02%, under its bank credit facility during the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred commitment
fees of approximately $38,000 and $51,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, based
on the aggregate unused portion of the commitment.

         The net increase in depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1999
was primarily due to the eleven shopping center investments acquired during 1998
and 1999, partially offset by the two investments sold during 1998.

         Funds from Operations. The Company defines funds from operations,
consistent with the NAREIT definition, as net earnings on real estate
investments and extraordinary items plus depreciation and amortization of
capitalized leasing costs. Interest on debentures and amortization of
convertible debenture costs are added to funds from operations when assumed
conversion of the debentures is dilutive. Conversion of the debentures is
dilutive and therefore assumed for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
Management believes funds from operations should be considered along with, but
not as an alternative to, net income as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles as a measure of the Company's operating performance. Funds from
operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

funds from operations under the NAREIT definition for the quarters ended March

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1999


1.       Unaudited Financial Statements

         These financial statements for interim periods are unaudited. 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, 1999 have been recorded. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
future interim periods or for a full year.

2.       Organization and Nature of Operations

         IRT Partners L.P. ("LP"), a Georgia limited partnership formed July 15,
1998, is the entity through which IRT Property Company (the "Company"), a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, conducts a
portion of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) a
portion of its assets. LP was formed by the Company in order to enhance
acquisition opportunities by offering potential sellers of properties the
ability to engage in tax-deferred sales in exchange for Operating Partnership
Units ("OP Units") of LP which are redeemable for shares of common stock of the
Company. The Company serves as general partner of LP and, as of August 1, 1998,
contributed 20 of its shopping centers and related assets and cash to LP in
exchange for OP Units. As a result, the Company and IRT Management Company, one
of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, own approximately 93.1% of LP as of
March 31, 1999.

         LP owns 27 neighborhood and community shopping centers located in
Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. The shopping centers are
anchored by necessity-oriented retailers such as supermarkets, drug stores
and/or discount variety stores.

         LP currently has several unaffiliated limited partners resulting from
the acquisition of three Florida properties in August 1998. The unaffiliated
limited partners have the option to require LP to redeem their OP Units at any
time after one year, in which event LP has the option to purchase the OP Units
for cash or convert them into one share of the Company's common stock for each
OP Unit.
