      Period from March 25, 1996 (date of commencement of operations) to
  December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 to February 14, 1997
                                (date of sale)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of the The Junction Shopping Center (the "Property") located in
Jackson, Mississippi. The Property has a total of 108,043 gross leasable square
feet. On February 14, 1997, JDN Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired the
Property for $9,100,000 from an unrelated third party.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of JDN Realty Corporation. The
statements are not representative of the actual operations of the Property for
the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses,
primarily consisting of mortgage interest expense, depreciation, amortization,
management fees, and corporate expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases.  Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned.  Additionally, certain tenants pay
incremental rental amounts based on sales volumes and these percentage rentals
are recognized when billed.

CAPITALIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS

Costs of construction, property taxes, insurance, interest and other
miscellaneous expenses incurred during the development period were capitalized
until such time as the Property or portions thereof became operational.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the statements of revenue and certain expenses in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

2. LEASES AND SIGNIFICANT TENANTS

The tenant base includes primarily national or regional retail chains and local
retailers, and consequently the Property's credit risk is concentrated in the
retail industry.

Three national retailers are the anchor tenants of the Property.  Minimum rents
from these tenants, as a percentage of total minimum rents for the periods
indicated, was as follows:

              Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

    Period from September 13, 1996 (date of commencement of operations) to
     December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 to May 28, 1997
                                (date of sale)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of the River Hills Shopping Center (the "Property") located in
Asheville, North Carolina.  The Property has a total of 186,970 gross leasable
square feet. From commencement of operations to May 28, 1997, the Property was
held in a limited liability company, which was 50% owned by JDN Realty
Corporation ("JDN Realty") and 50% owned by an unrelated third party.  On May
28, 1997, JDN Realty acquired the 50% interest held by the unrelated party and
thereby became the sole owner of the Property.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of JDN Realty Corporation.  The
statements are not representative of the actual operations of the Property for
the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses,
primarily consisting of mortgage interest expense, depreciation, amortization,
management fees, and corporate expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases.  Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned.  Additionally, certain tenants pay
incremental rental amounts based on  sales volumes and these percentage rentals
are recognized when billed.

CAPITALIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS

Costs of construction, property taxes, insurance, interest and other
miscellaneous expenses incurred during the development period were capitalized
until such time as the Property or portions thereof became operational.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the statements of revenue and certain expenses in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

2. LEASES AND SIGNIFICANT TENANTS

The tenant base includes primarily national or regional retail chains and local
retailers, and consequently the Property's credit risk is concentrated in the
retail industry.

Three national retailers are the anchor tenants of the Property.  Minimum rents
from these tenants, as a percentage of total minimum rents for the periods
indicated, were as follows:

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Shareholders and Board of Directors
JDN Realty Corporation

We have audited the statements of revenue and certain expenses of Midway Plaza
Shopping Center as described in Note 1 for the period from November 2, 1995
(date of commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 and the year ended
December 31, 1996. These statements of revenue and certain expenses are the
responsibility of Midway Plaza Shopping Center's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these statements of revenue and certain expenses
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the statements of revenue and certain
expenses are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statements of
revenue and certain expenses.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statements of revenue and certain
expenses.  We believe that our audits of these statements of revenue and certain
expenses provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of JDN Realty Corporation as
described in Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of Midway
Plaza Shopping Center's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the statements of revenue and certain expenses referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of
Midway Plaza Shopping Center for the period from November 2, 1995 (date of
commencement of operations) to December 31, 1995 and year ended December 31,
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                               For the year ended
    December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of the Bermuda Square Shopping Center (the "Property") located in
Richmond, Virginia.  The Property has a total of 116,310 gross leasable square
feet.  On September 16, 1997, JDN Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired
the Property for $8,683,000 from an unrelated third party.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of the Company.  The statements
are not representative of the actual operations of the Property for the periods
presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses, primarily
consisting of mortgage interest expense, depreciation, amortization, management
fees, and corporate expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases.  Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned.  Additionally, certain tenants pay
incremental rental amounts based on sales volumes and these percentage rentals
are recognized when billed.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the statements of revenue and certain expenses in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

2.   LEASES AND SIGNIFICANT TENANTS

The tenant base includes primarily national or regional retail chains and local
retailers, and consequently the Property's credit risk is concentrated in the
retail industry.

The significant tenants of the Property and the minimum rents from these
tenants, as a percentage of total minimum rents for the periods indicated, were
as follows:
