                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             June 30, 1999 and 1998

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. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of IRT Property Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, IRT Management Company, VW Mall, Inc and IRT Alabama,
Inc., and its majority owned subsidiary IRT Partners L.P. Intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. The
Company's investments in IRT Capital Corporation and IRT Capital Corporation II
have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements as of June 30, 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

             On May 24, 1999 IRT Capital Corporation II ("IRTCCII"), a taxable
     subsidiary of the Company, was formed under the laws of Georgia. This
     taxable subsidiary will have the ability to develop properties, buy and
     sell properties, provide equity to developers who are merchant builders and
     perform third party management, leasing and brokerage. The Company holds
     96% of the non-voting common stock and 1% of the voting common stock of
     IRTCCII. The remaining voting common stock is held by the CEO and Chairman
     of the Company and an independent director of the Company. The ownership of
     the common stock of IRTCCII entitles the Company to substantially all of
     the economic benefits from the results of operations of this subsidiary.
     IRTCCII is accounted for by the Company under the equity method of
     accounting.

             On June 1, 1999 the Company loaned IRTCCII $3.8 million to purchase
     23 acres of undeveloped land in Miramar Florida. The Company may lend
     additional money to IRTCCII for the development of this property.

6.       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.

         The Company's subsidiary, IRT Partners LP has entered into a contract
to purchase a shopping center valued at $9,015,000. This transaction is expected
to close in the third quarter of 1999.

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

         Material Changes in Financial Condition. During the six months ended
June 30, 1999 the Company:

  -      obtained a $40,000,000, 6.5% fixed rate, 25 year fully amortizing loan
         secured by first mortgages on eight properties, and

  -      obtained cash proceeds of approximately $12,409,000 upon the sales of
         properties and recognized a gain of approximately $2,483,000 for

         The Company utilized funds of:

  -      $43,500,000 to pay down its unsecured revolving term loan,

  -      $15,518,000 for the acquisition of two shopping center investments,
         consisting of cash of approximately $9,776,000 and mortgage debt of
         approximately $5,742,000 secured by one of the centers,

  -      $3,800,000 for a loan to IRTCCII for the acquisition of 23 acres of
         undeveloped land in Miramar, Florida, and

  -      $625,000 to repay at maturity a 9% purchase-money mortgage.

$27,600,000 under its unsecured revolving term loan. It utilized funds of:

  -      $30,775,000 for the acquisition of four shopping center investments,
         consisting of cash of approximately $28,984,000 and mortgage debt of
         approximately $2,232,000 secured by one of the centers,

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

  -      $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
subordinated debentures were converted into 460,263 shares of common stock at
$11.25 per share.

         Material Changes in Results of Operations. During the three months and
six months ended June 30, 1999, rental income from the Company's portfolio of
shopping center investments:



                                       10

         -        increased approximately $499,000 and $752,000 respectively,
                  for the core portfolio ,

         -        increased approximately $2,205,000 and $4,896,000
                  respectively, due to the acquisition of nine shopping centers
                  in 1998 and two in 1999,

         -        decreased approximately $172,000 and $324,000 respectively,
                  due to sales of two investments in 1998, five investments in
                  1999 and the foreclosure of the Spanish Quarter mortgage held
                  by the Company in 1998, and

         -        decreased approximately $891,000 and $1,095,000 respectively,
                  due to centers under redevelopment.

         During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, rental
income from the Company's portfolio of shopping center investments:

         -        increased approximately $282,000 and $645,000 respectively,
                  for the core portfolio ,

         -        increased approximately $2,597,000 and $5,170,000
                  respectively, due to the acquisition of thirteen shopping
                  centers in 1998 and 1997,

         -        increased approximately $303,000 and $698,000 respectively,
                  due to the acquisition of an apartment investment, obtained by
                  the Company through foreclosure of the wrap-around mortgage,
                  in February, 1998,

         -        decreased approximately $114,000 and $165,000 respectively,
                  due to a tenant bankruptcy during 1997,

         -        decreased approximately $382,000 and $698,000 respectively,
                  due to sales of two investments in 1997, and

         -        the Company recognized approximately $792,000 of income upon
                  the termination of an anchor tenant's lease necessitated by
                  the redevelopment of McAlpin Square.

         Percentage rentals received from shopping center investments, excluding
percentage rentals received from the two Wal-Mart investments classified as
direct financing leases, totaled approximately $199,000 and $188,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively, and $742,000 and
$599,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Interest income during the three months and six months ended June 30,
1999, decreased approximately $66,000 and $140,000 respectively, due primarily
to the foreclosure of a mortgage loan in the third quarter of 1998.

         Interest income during the three months and six months ended June 30,
1998:

         -        decreased approximately $225,000 and $493,000 due to the
                  repayment of one purchase-money mortgage in the third quarter
                  1997 and the foreclosure of the wrap-around mortgage during
                  the first quarter of 1998, and

         -        decreased approximately $13,000 and $60,000 respectively, due
                  to less interest being earned on short-term money market
                  investments compared to the same time periods in 1997.

         IRTCC, which is accounted for by the Company under the equity method,
recognized $54,000 of income from a joint venture upon the sale during the first
quarter of 1998 of the 1.31 acre parcel of land held by the joint venture.

         During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999, operating
expenses related to the Company's portfolio of real estate investments:

         -        decreased approximately $21,000 for the quarter and increased
                  approximately $9,000 year to date, for the core portfolio ,

         -        increased approximately $776,000 and $1,443,000 respectively,
                  due to the acquisition of nine shopping centers in 1998 and
                  two in 1999, and

         -        decreased approximately $159,000 and $209,000 respectively,
                  due to the sale of an apartment investment in 1998.

         During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 operating
expenses related to the Company's portfolio of real estate investments:

         -        increased approximately $587,000 and $934,000 respectively,
                  for the core portfolio,

         -        increased approximately $600,000 and $1,170,000 respectively,
                  due to the acquisition of thirteen shopping centers in 1998
                  and 1997,

         -        increased approximately $159,000 and $209,000 respectively,
                  due to the acquisition of an apartment investment obtained



                                       12

                  through foreclosure of the wrap-around mortgage loan held by
                  the Company in the first quarter of 1998, and

         -        decreased by approximately $177,000 and $327,000 respectively,
                  due to sales in 1997.

         During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 interest
expense on mortgages decreased approximately $169,000 and $373,000 respectively,
due to four mortgages being repaid in 1998 and one in 1999 and increased
approximately $1,361,000 and $2,255,000 respectively, due to:

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

         -        the assumption of three mortgages for a combined amount of
                  $20,083,000 bearing interest at 9.1875% upon the acquisition
                  of Charlotte Square, Riverside Square and Tamarac Square in
                  August, 1998 (these mortgages were discounted to the then
                  current market rate of 8% for financial reporting purposes),

         -        the assumption of a $5,937,000 mortgage bearing interest at 8%
                  upon the acquisition of Treasure Coast shopping center in
                  August, 1998,

         -        the placement of a $4,500,000 mortgage, bearing interest at
                  6.85%, on Mableton Crossing in August, 1998 (Mableton was
                  acquired without debt in June, 1998),

         -        the assumption of a $5,742,000 mortgage bearing interest at 8%
                  upon the acquisition of Lago Mar shopping center in February,
                  1999, and

         -        the placement of a 25 year fully amortizing $40,000,000 loan,
                  secured by first mortgages on eight properties, bearing fixed
                  interest at 6.5% in February, 1999.

         During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 interest
expense on mortgages decreased approximately $577,000 and $1,087,000
respectively, due to the repayment of five mortgages in 1997 and one in 1998 and
increased approximately $108,000 and $274,000 respectively, due to:

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



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

         -        the placement of a $1,250,000 purchase-money mortgage bearing
                  interest at 9% taken upon the acquisition of Powers Ferry
                  Plaza in May, 1997,

         -        the assumption of a $3,502,000 mortgage bearing interest at
                  7.75% upon the acquisition of Shoppes of Silverlakes in
                  November, 1997, and

         -        the assumption of a $2,232,000 mortgage bearing interest at
                  7.675% upon the acquisition of Town and Country Shopping
                  Center in January, 1998.

         Interest expense on bank indebtedness decreased approximately $376,000
and $87,000 respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1999. The Company had average borrowings of approximately $15,293,000 and
$35,826,000 at effective interest rates of 6.25% and 6.95%, under its bank
credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Company had average borrowings of approximately $26,301,000
and $26,488,000 at effective interest rates of 6.37% and 6.97%, under its bank
credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. In addition, the Company incurred commitment fees of approximately
$90,000 and $91,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, based on the aggregate
unused portion of the commitment.

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

         The net decrease in general and administrative expense of $890,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 was primarily due to:

         -        a reduction in incentive compensation expense of $219,000,

         -        capitalization of $240,000 of incremental compensation and
                  other personnel costs associated with leasing space, and

         -        merger expenses of approximately $373,000, incurred in 1998
                  which did not result in a merger.

         Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. The Company has assessed the possible
effects of the Year 2000 computer problem in connection with its technology
investments and operations. Management currently believes the Company has
limited exposure and expects the cost of addressing all Year 2000 issues to be
less than $30,000 in 1999. As part of its assessment, Company management
evaluated Year 2000 compliance by those with which it does business and to date
has not discovered any Year 2000 problem with significant counterparties that
it believes are reasonably



                                       14

<PAGE>   15

likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company. Due to the nature of
Year 2000 issues, the Company realizes that additional information can come to
light at any time during the year and the Company intends to continue to monitor
significant counterparties in the future in the event that circumstances
change. Overall, however, even with Year 2000 related failures at all major
tenants, the Company believes that it can receive its rent payments via
alternative methods of payment. However, no assurance can be given that
potential Year 2000 problems at those companies with which the Company does
business will not occur, and if these occur, consequences to the Company will
not be material. Most of the Company's technology systems have already been
certified as Year 2000 compliant. The Company designates each of the statements
made by it herein as a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. Such statements are made
pursuant to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

         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 and amortization of issuance costs related
to convertible debentures 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 three months ended June 30, 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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 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
June 30, 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 of acquisitions and dispositions, as of June 30, 1999 LP
owned 24 neighborhood and community shopping centers located in Florida,
Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. The Company and IRT Management Company,
one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, own approximately 92.9% of LP as
of June 30, 1999. 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.
