                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             March 31, 2000 and 1999
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


1.       Unaudited Financial Statements

         These consolidated financial statements for interim periods are
         unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Report
         on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 LP (collectively, the "Company"). Intercompany
         transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
         The Company's investments in IRT Capital Corporation ("IRTCC") and IRT
         Capital Corporation II ("IRTCCII") 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 March 31, 2000
         and 1999 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 Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The effects of 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. The effects of the conversion of
         the Operating Partnership Units held by the minority interest are
         dilutive and have been included in the calculation of dilutive earnings
         per share for all periods presented. For the three months ended March
         31, 2000, the effects of the conversion of the 7.3% debentures have
         been included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as they
         are dilutive. The effects of the conversion of such debentures have
         been excluded from the calculation of dilutive earnings per share for
         the three months ended March 31, 1999 as they were anti-dilutive for
         that period.

         taxable subsidiary has 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 functions. The
         Company holds 96% of the non-voting common stock and 1% of the voting

         an officer of the Company and a director of the Company. The ownership

         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 approximately $3,800 to
         purchase 23 acres of undeveloped land in Miramar, Florida. On September
         3, 1999, the Company loaned IRTCCII approximately $2,600 to purchase a
         shopping center and two parcels of undeveloped land covering 9 acres in
         Pasco County, Florida. Through March 31, 2000, the Company has loaned
         an additional $1,511 to IRTCCII for the development of these
         properties.


6.       Commitments and Contingencies

         On January 20, 2000, the Company entered into a co-development
         agreement. Under this agreement, the Company will fund, through loans
         to the co-developer, monies to acquire land adjacent to an existing
         shopping center in Atlanta, Georgia and to develop such land. The
         Company has committed up to $3,650 for this project of which $1,888 is
         outstanding as of March 31, 2000. The loan, secured by a mortgage on
         the development and bearing interest monthly at a rate based on the one
         month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, matures on July 1, 2001.

                  Material Changes in Results of Operations.

                  During the three months ended March 31, 2000, rental income
       from the Company's portfolio of shopping center investments:

                  -  increased approximately $376 for the core portfolio,

                  -  increased approximately $468 due to the acquisition of two
                     shopping centers in 1999, and

                  -  decreased approximately $592 due to sales of two
                     investments in 2000 and four in 1999.

                  During the three months ended March 31, 1999, rental income
       from the Company's portfolio of shopping center investments:

                  -  increased approximately $391 for the core portfolio,

                  -  increased approximately $2,602 due to the acquisition
                     of two shopping centers in 1999 and nine shopping centers
                     in 1999, and

                  -  decreased approximately $153 due to sales of two
                     investments in 1998.

                  Percentage rentals received from shopping center investments,
       excluding percentage rentals received from the two Wal-Mart investments
       classified as direct financing leases, totaled approximately $608 and
       $542 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
       Percentage rental income is recorded upon collection based on the
       tenants' lease years.

                  Interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2000
       increased approximately $176 due primarily to interest accrued on
       development loans.

                  During the three months ended March 31, 2000, operating
       expenses related to the Company's portfolio of real estate investments:

                  -  increased approximately $303 for the core portfolio,

                  -  increased approximately $125 due to the acquisition of two
                     shopping centers in 1999, and

                  -  decreased approximately $131 due to the sales of two
                     properties in 2000 and four in 1999.

                  During the three months ended March 31, 1999, operating
         expenses related to the Company's portfolio of real estate investments:

                  -  increased approximately $110 for the core portfolio,

                  -  increased approximately $624 due to the acquisition of two
                     shopping center investments in 1999 and nine shopping
                     center investments in 1998, and

                  -  decreased approximately $29 due to the sale of two
                     properties in 1998.

                  During the three months ended March 31, 2000, interest expense
       on mortgages increased approximately $306 primarily due to the addition
       of the 6.5% fixed-rate, 25 year fully-amortizing $40,000 mortgage placed
       on eight of the Company's properties in February 1999.

                  Interest expense on bank indebtedness decreased approximately
       $233 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Company had average
       borrowings of approximately $19,569 and $37,430 at effective interest
       rates of 7.3% and 6.4%, under its bank credit facility during the three
       months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company incurred
       commitment fees of approximately $51 and $38 in 2000 and 1999,
       respectively, which are included in this interest expense.

                  The net increase of $100 in depreciation expense in 2000 was
       due to the acquisition of two real estate investments in the first
       quarter of 1999, net of the effect of the disposition of two properties
       in the first quarter of 2000 and four properties in the second quarter of
       1999.

                  The net decrease in general and administrative expense of
       approximately $166 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
       primarily due to compensation expense that was accrued in 1999 but not in
       2000.

                  Year 2000 readiness disclosure. The Company's Year 2000
       program has been completed as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
       for the year ended December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company is not
       aware of any significant counter parties who were negatively impacted by
       their lack of Year 2000 readiness. Due to the nature of Year 2000 issues,
       the Company realizes that additional information may come to light at any
       time after December 31, 1999; the Company, therefore, intends to continue
       to monitor significant counter parties in the future in the event that
       circumstances change. The Company designates each of the statements made
       by it herein as a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure made pursuant to the
       Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

                  Funds from Operations. The Company defines funds from
       operations, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

       Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of such term, as net earnings on
       real estate investments (calculated in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles) before gains (losses) on the sale of properties
       and extraordinary items plus depreciation and amortization of capitalized
       leasing costs. Interest and amortization of issuance costs related to
       convertible debentures are added back 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
       March 31, 2000 and 1999. 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.

         periods or for a full year.

2.       Organization and Nature of Operations

                  IRT Partners L.P. ("LP"), a Georgia limited partnership formed
         on 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, on 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 March 31,
         2000, 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,
         collectively own approximately 92.9% of LP as of March 31, 2000. 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, 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.

3.       Commitments and Contingencies

         LP has guaranteed the bank indebtedness and senior indebtedness of the
         Company.
