ITEM  5.     OTHER  EVENTS.

     IRT  Property  Company  (the "Company") is filing financial statements that
were  originally  filed  in  Item  8  of its 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, to
include  the audit report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the three years in
the  period  ended  December 31, 2001. Deloitte & Touche audited these financial
statements  after  it  replaced  the Company's previous auditor in May 2002. The
audit  report  of  Deloitte & Touche LLP contains an unqualified opinion, as did
the  audit  report  of  the  Company's  previous auditor. Certain amounts in the
consolidated  financial  statements  have  been reclassified to conform with the
presentation  in  the  Company's 2002 Quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

     In  addition,  the  Company is filing these financial statements to reflect
the  reclassification  of  discontinued operations as prescribed by Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or  Disposal  of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to report
in  discontinued  operations  the  results  of operations of a property that has
either  been  disposed  or  is  classified  as  held  for  sale,  unless certain
conditions  are  met.  SFAS  No.  144 further requires the Company to reclassify
results of operations from a property disposed of or held for sale subsequent to
December  31,  2001 as income from discontinued operations during prior reported
periods.

     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company sold one
property  that  was  not classified as an asset held for sale as of December 31,
2001.  The  results  of  operations from this property have been reclassified as
income  from  discontinued  operations  for  the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001 in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. There
is  no  effect  on  the  previously  reported  net earnings available for common
shareholders.

     Management  does  not  believe  that  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  144  or  the
reclassifications  described  above  have  a  material  effect  on the Company's
selected  consolidated financial data or management's discussion and analysis of
financial  condition and results of operations for the three years in the period
ended  December  31,  2001  as  previously reported in the Company's 2001 Annual
Report  on  Form  10-K.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To  the  Board  of  Directors  and  Stockholders  of
IRT  Property  Company
Atlanta,  Georgia

     We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of IRT
Property  Company (the "Company") (a Georgia corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
changes  in  shareholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the  period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements based on our audits.

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

     In  our  opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  IRT Property Company and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations
and  its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2001,  in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States  of  America.

     As  discussed  in  Note  26  to  the  consolidated financial statements, on
October  28, 2002, the Company executed a merger agreement with Equity One, Inc.
to  which  Equity  One,  Inc.  will  acquire  the  Company.

     Our  audits  were  made  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as  a whole.  The schedules listed in the index to
consolidated  financial  statements are presented for purposes of complying with
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
financial  statements.  These  schedules  have  been  subjected  to the auditing
procedures  applied  in  the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be
set  forth  therein  in  relation  to  the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                      IRT PROPERTY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000, AND 1999
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.     ORGANIZATION  AND  NATURE  OF  OPERATIONS

     IRT  Property  Company, individually and collectively with its subsidiaries
("IRT" or the "Company"), was founded in 1969 and became a public company in May
1971  (NYSE:  IRT). The Company is an owner, operator, redeveloper and developer
of  high  quality, well located neighborhood and community shopping centers. The
Company's  portfolio  consists  of  87  shopping  centers, three shopping center
investments,  four  development  properties,  one  industrial  property and four
mortgage  loans.  The  87  shopping  centers  and  the  three  shopping  center
investments  total approximately 9.7 million square feet of retail space and are
located  in  eleven  southeastern  states.  IRT shopping centers are anchored by
necessity-oriented  retailers  such as supermarkets, drug stores, national value
retailers  and  department  stores.

     The  Company  has four wholly-owned subsidiaries. VW Mall, Inc. ("VWM") was
formed  in July 1994, but is currently inactive. IRT Alabama, Inc. ("IRTAL") was
formed  in  August 1997 to purchase Madison Centre in Madison, Alabama, which it
continues  to  own,  but  it  conducts  no  significant  operations  beyond this
property.  IRT  Management  Company  ("IRTMC")  was formed in 1990 and currently
holds  93.3%  of  the  operating  units  of  IRT  Partners  L.P  ("LP").

     IRT  Capital Corporation II ("IRTCCII") is a taxable real estate investment
trust  ("REIT")  subsidiary  and  was  formed under the laws of Georgia in 1999.
IRTCCII  elected  on March 15, 2001 to become a taxable REIT subsidiary pursuant
to  the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 as amended (the "REIT Modernization Act
of  1999").  Although  IRTCCII  is  primarily  used  by  the  company to develop
properties,  it  also has the ability to buy and sell properties, provide equity
to  developers  and  perform  third-party  management,  leasing  and  brokerage
operations.

     The  Company  also  serves  as  general  partner  of  LP, a Georgia limited
partnership  formed  in  1998 to enhance the Company's acquisition opportunities
through  a  "downreit"  structure.  This  structure offers potential sellers the
ability  to make a tax-deferred sale of their real estate investment in exchange
for  Operating  Partnership  Units ("OP Units") of LP. OP Units receive the same
distributions as the Company's common stock and are redeemable for shares of the
Company's  common  stock.  IRT  and  IRTMC, together, owned approximately 1% and
93.3%,  respectively,  of  LP  as  of  December 31, 2001. The accounts of LP are
included  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.

2.     SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

CONSOLIDATION

     The  accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
IRT,  its  wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries
and  the  partnership.  Prior to 2001, the Company had investments in affiliates
over which the Company did not exercise control, and therefore accounted for the
investments  by  the equity method.  Intercompany transactions and balances have
been  eliminated  in  consolidation.

USE  OF  ESTIMATES

     The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity with accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets  and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the  date  of  the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Significant estimates and assumptions
within  the  financial statements include impairment evaluation of operating and
development properties and other long-term assets, determination of useful lives
of  assets  subject to depreciation or amortization and valuation adjustments to
tenant  related  accounts.  Actual  results  could  differ from those estimates.

REVENUE  RECOGNITION

     Leases  with  tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Rental revenue
for  leases  entered into after January 1, 2000 is recognized on a straight-line
basis  over the initial lease term. Rental revenue for leases entered into prior
to  January  1,  2000, is accounted for based on contractual rental obligations,
which is not materially different from revenue recorded on a straight-line basis
to  any interim or annual period. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage
rents  based  on  their gross sales exceeding specified amounts. This percentage
rental  revenue  is  recorded upon collection, which is not materially different
from recognizing such percentage rental revenue on an accrual basis. The Company
receives  reimbursements  from  tenants  for  real  estate  taxes,  common  area
maintenance  and  other  recoverable  costs.  These  tenant  reimbursements  are
recognized  as  revenue  in  the  period  the  related  expense  is  recorded.

     The  Company  makes  specific  valuation adjustments (bad debt reserves) to
tenant  related  revenue  based  upon  the  tenant's  credit  and business risk.

     Other  non-rental  revenue  is  recognized  as  revenue  when  earned.

     Gain  on sales of real estate assets is recognized at the time title to the
asset  is  transferred  to  the  buyer,  subject  to the adequacy of the buyer's
initial  and continuing investment and the assumption by the buyer of all future
ownership  risks  of  the property. The gain on sales of operating properties is
calculated  based on the net carrying value of the property at the time of sale.
The  net  carrying  value  represents  the  cost  of  acquisition, renovation or
betterment  of the property less the accumulated depreciation of such costs. For
gains  on outparcel sales, the gain is calculated based on the value assigned to
the outparcel lot through specific identification of costs or the relative sales
value  of  the  outparcel  lot  to  the  entire  property.

                                       10

RENTAL  PROPERTIES  AND  PROPERTIES  UNDER  DEVELOPMENT

     Rental  properties  are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs
incurred  for  the acquisition, renovation, and betterment of the properties are
capitalized  and  depreciated  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.  Recurring
maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to expense as incurred. Depreciation is
computed  on  a  straight-line  basis generally for a period of sixteen to forty
years  for  significant  improvements  and  buildings.  Tenant  improvements are
depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  life  of the related lease.

     Properties  under  development  are  stated  at cost. Depreciation does not
begin  until  the  asset  is  placed  in  service.  Acquisition, development and
construction costs are capitalized, including predevelopment costs, interest and
salaries.  Predevelopment  costs include costs for zoning, planning, development
feasibility  studies  and  other  costs  directly  related  to  the  development
property.  Unsuccessful  predevelopment  efforts  and  their  related  costs are
expensed  when  it  is  probable development efforts will not continue. Interest
costs  and  salaries  directly  attributable  to  the  development  process  are
capitalized for the period of development to ready the property for its intended
use.

     The  Company  periodically  evaluates  the carrying value of its long-lived
assets,  including  operating  and  development  properties,  in accordance with
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." Impairment is based on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash
flows  from each property will be less than its net book value. If an impairment
exists,  the asset is written down to its estimated fair value and an impairment
loss  is  recognized.

CASH  EQUIVALENTS

     The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid investments with a maturity of
three  months  or  less  when  purchased  to  be  cash  equivalents.

DEFERRED  LEASING  COSTS

     Internal  and external commission costs incurred in obtaining tenant leases
are  included in prepaid expenses and other assets. The costs are amortized on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  terms  of  the  related  leases.  Upon  lease
cancellation  or  termination,  unamortized  costs  are  charged  to operations.

DEBT  ISSUE  AND  DEFERRED  FINANCE  COSTS

     Costs  related  to the issuance of debt instruments and loan costs incurred
in  obtaining long-term financing are included within prepaids and other assets.
The  costs  are  capitalized and amortized over the life of the related issue or
financing  on  a  straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest
method.  Upon  conversion,  in the event of redemption or prepayment, applicable
unamortized  costs  are  charged  to  shareholders'  equity  or  to  operations,
respectively.

                                       11

INCOME  TAXES

     The  Company  has elected since its inception to be treated as a REIT under
the  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In accordance with
the Code, a REIT must distribute at least 90% (95% prior to 2001) of its taxable
income  to  its  shareholders  each  year  and meet certain other qualifications
prescribed  by  the Code. If all qualifications are met, the Company will not be
taxed  on  that  portion  of  its  taxable  income  which  is distributed to its
shareholders.  For  the  special  provisions  applicable  to REITs, see Sections
856-860  of  the  Code.  IRT  intends  to continue to elect to be treated and to
continue  to  qualify  as  a  REIT  under  the  Code.

     If  the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company
will  be  subject  to federal income tax, at regular corporate tax rates, on its
taxable income. The Company may be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the
four  taxable  years  following  the year during which its REIT qualification is
lost.  Even  if  the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT,
the  Company  also may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

     The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, IRTCCII, that elected on March
15,  2001 to become a taxable REIT subsidiary pursuant to the REIT Modernization
Act  of  1999.  The services provided by this subsidiary generate taxable income
and  are  taxed  at regular corporate income tax rates. The corresponding income
tax  is  expensed.

EARNINGS  PER  SHARE

     Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  for  the period. Diluted EPS
reflects  the  potential  dilution  that  could  occur  if  securities  or other
contracts  to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares
and  then  shared  in  the  earnings  of  the  Company.

STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION

     The  Company  accounts  for  its  stock-based  compensation  plans  under
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25"). The Company has adopted the disclosure option of SFAS
No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation."  SFAS  No. 123 requires
companies  that  do  not  choose  to  account  for  stock-based  compensation as
prescribed  by the statement to disclose the pro forma effects on net income and
earnings  per  share  as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. Additionally, certain
other  disclosures are required with respect to stock-based compensation and the
assumptions  used  to  determine  the  pro  forma  effects  of  SFAS  No.  123.

                                       12

SEGMENT  REPORTING

     In  1998,  the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an  Enterprise  and  Related Information."  This statement established standards
for  reporting financial and descriptive information about operating segments in
annual financial statements.  Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise  about  which  separate  financial  information  is available that is
evaluated  regularly  by  the  chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate  resources and in assessing performance.  The Company's chief operating
decision  maker  is  its  senior  management  group.

     The  Company  owns and operates retail shopping centers in the southeastern
United  States.  Such shopping centers generate rental and other revenue through
the  leasing of shop spaces to a diverse base of tenants.  The Company evaluates
the  performance  of  each of its shopping centers on an individual basis due to
specific geographical market demographics and local competitive forces. However,
because the shopping centers have generally similar economic characteristics and
tenants,  the shopping centers have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

DERIVATIVE  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS

     In  June  1998,  SFAS  No.  133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging  Activities,"  was  issued.  This  statement,  as  amended,  establishes
accounting  and  reporting  standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including  certain  derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts) be
recorded  in  the  balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair  market  value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair
market  value  be  recognized  currently  in  earnings  unless  specific  hedge
accounting  criteria  are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
derivative's  gains  and  losses to offset related results on the hedged item in
the  income  statement  and  requires  that  a  company  must formally document,
designate,  and  assess  the  effectiveness  of  transactions that receive hedge
accounting.  The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2001.  The Company
did  not  hold  and  has  not engaged in transactions using derivative financial
instruments.  The  adoption  of this statement did not have a material effect on
the  Company's  balance  sheets  or  statements  of  earnings.

RECENT  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In  June  2001,  SFAS  No.  141,  "Business Combinations," was issued. This
statement  eliminates  pooling of interests accounting and requires all business
combinations  initiated  after  June  30,  2001  to  be  accounted for using the
purchase  method. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2001 and adoption
of  this  standard  did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial
statements.

     In  June  2001,  SFAS  No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," was
issued establishing accounting and reporting standards that address how goodwill
and  intangible  assets should be accounted for within the financial statements.
The  statement requires companies to not amortize goodwill and intangible assets
with  infinite lives, but to test such assets for impairment on a regular basis.
An  intangible  asset that has a finite life should be amortized over its useful
life  and  evaluated  for  impairment  on  a  regular  basis.  This statement is
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 2001. The Company
adopted  this  standard on January 1, 2002 and adoption of this standard did not
have  a  significant  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  statements.

     In August 2001, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived  Assets,"  was  issued  establishing  new  rules  and  clarifying
implementation  issues  with  SFAS  No.  121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets  and  for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," by allowing a
probability-weighted  cash  flow  estimation  approach to measure the impairment
loss  of  a  long-lived  asset. The statement also established new standards for
accounting  for discontinued operations. Transactions that qualify for reporting
in  discontinued  operations  include the disposal of a component of an entity's
operations  that  comprises  operations  and  cash  flows  that  can  be clearly
distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest
of  the  entity.  The  statement  is  effective for fiscal years beginning after
December  15,  2001.  The  Company  adopted this standard on January 1, 2002 and
adoption  of  this  standard  did not have a significant effect on the Company's
financial  statements.

     In  April 2002, SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and
64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", was issued.
This  Statement  rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment  of Debt", and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No.
64,  "Extinguishments  of  Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements". This
Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets
of Motor Carriers". This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases",  to  eliminate  an  inconsistency  between  the required accounting for
sale-leaseback  transactions  and  the  required  accounting  for  certain lease
modifications  that  have  economic  effects  that are similar to sale-leaseback
transactions.  This  Statement  also  amends  other  existing  authoritative
pronouncements  to  make  various  technical  corrections,  clarify meanings, or
describe their applicability under changed conditions.  The adoption of SFAS No.
145  had  no  effect  on the financial position and results of operations of the
Company.

     In  June  2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal  Activities",  was  issued  which  nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)  Issue  No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits  and Other Costs to Exit and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in  a  Restructuring)".  The  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  146  had no effect on the
financial  position  and  results  of  operations  of  the  Company.


RECLASSIFICATION  OF  AMOUNTS

     Certain  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
reclassified  to  conform  with the presentation in the Company's 2002 Quarterly
Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.

3.     RENTAL  PROPERTIES

     Buildings and related improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis

straight-line  basis  over  the life of the related lease. Rental properties are
comprised  of  the  following:

     Upon  expiration  of  the  leases  for  land  covered by purchase-leaseback
agreements,  all  improvements  on  the  land  will  become  the property of the
Company.  The  lessee  of  one  of  these  properties had the option, subject to
certain  conditions,  to repurchase the land. The option price was for an amount
greater  than  the  Company's carrying value of the related land. This option to
repurchase the land was exercised in 2001, resulting in a gain to the Company of
$347, included in the gain on sale of operating properties and outparcels in the
accompanying  Consolidated  Statements  of  Earnings.

     Rental  properties  acquired  and  disposed  in  2001,  2000  and  1999 are

At  December  31,  2001,  the  Company  is in the process of developing four
shopping  centers.

-    Conway  Crossing,  located  in  Orlando,  Florida, will consist of a 44,270
     square  foot  Publix  with  28,740  additional  square  feet of shop space.
-    The  Shops at Huntcrest, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, will be a 97,000 square
     foot  shopping  center  anchored  by  a  54,340  square  foot  Publix.
-    Lutz  Lake  Crossing,  in  Tampa,  Florida,  will have approximately 68,000
     square  feet  of  retail  space,  anchored  by a 44,270 square foot Publix.
-    Miramar,  located  in Broward County, Florida, encompasses approximately 23
     acres  and  site  preparation  has  been  completed.  This  development  is
     anticipated  to  consist  of  one  outparcel  and  a  185,000  square  foot
     developable  tract  for  a  national  anchor  tenant.

                                       16

     During  the year, IRTCCII completed the first development property, Regency
Square,  a  85,864  square foot shopping center, located in Port Richey, Florida
and  anchored  by a 44,270 square foot Publix. The total cost of the development
property  was  $9,817.

     Costs  capitalized  for development properties include, but are not limited
to, interest and internal development costs. Amounts capitalized for interest in
2001, 2000 and 1999 were $776, $906 and $288, respectively. Internal development
costs capitalized in 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $642, $276 and $230, respectively.

5.     DEVELOPMENT  AGREEMENTS  AND  LOANS

     The  Company  enters  into agreements and loans to develop shopping centers
with  local developers. The loans generally consist of the Company committing to
loan  a  fixed  amount, at a specified interest rate, for the development of the
shopping  center.  The  loan is secured by the development property and due upon
completion  of  the  shopping  center.

     Additionally, the Company could enter into a separate agreement to purchase
the  completed  shopping center. Generally, the purchase price to the Company is
based  on  the  shopping  center's  net  operating income and an implied rate of
return  at  the  time  when  the  developer  meets certain budgetary and leasing
requirements.  The developer is responsible for all construction matters as well
as  initial  leasing  efforts.

     During 2001, the Company completed one such development agreement and loan,
Chastain  Square II. This agreement was to purchase the expansion of a currently
owned  shopping  center  by 13,500 square feet. The Company made the development
loan  pursuant  to  a January 2000 development agreement with the developer. The
Company loaned the developer a total of $3,645, which was repaid upon completion
of  the  expansion. This loan had an interest rate of one month London Interbank
Offering  Rate  ("LIBOR") plus a premium of 2.5%. Interest capitalized from this
loan  was  $189  and  $218  for  2001  and  2000, respectively. The Company then
purchased  the  expansion,  under  the terms of the agreement, for approximately
$4,155.

     In  October  2000,  the  Company  entered  into  a development loan for the
development  of  a  89,720  square  foot  center,  Freehome  Village, located in
Cherokee  County,  Georgia.  The Company has guaranteed to loan an amount not to
exceed  $925,  of  which  $846 has been distributed as of December 31, 2001. The
loan  bears  interest  at  the  one  month  LIBOR plus a premium of 3%. Interest
capitalized  from this loan was $53 and $17 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
loan  is secured by the development property and is due in full in October 2002.
As  of  December  31,  2001, the Company does not have an obligation to purchase
this  development.

6.     INVESTMENT  IN  AND  ADVANCES  TO  UNCONSOLIDATED  AFFILIATES

     IRT  Capital  Corporation ("IRTCC") was formed under the laws of Georgia in
1996  and subsequently dissolved in January 2001. This taxable subsidiary of the
Company  had the ability to develop properties, buy and sell properties, provide
equity  to developers and perform third-party management, leasing and brokerage.
The  Company held 96% of the non-voting common stock and 1% of the voting common
stock  of  IRTCC.  The remaining common stock was held by a former member of the
Board  of  Directors  and  a former executive officer of the Company. In January
2001,  the  Company  purchased  the  remaining outstanding common stock from the
former  member of the Board of Directors and the former executive officer of the
Company  for  $16.  Subsequent  to  IRTCC  becoming  wholly-owned,  the  Company
dissolved  IRTCC and recognized a $4 loss. The loss upon dissolution is included
within  the  accompanying  Consolidated  Statements  of Earnings. Prior to IRTCC
becoming  wholly  owned  and  consolidated,  it was accounted for by the Company
under  the  equity  method.

     IRTCCII  was  formed  under  the laws of Georgia in 1999 and is used by the
Company  primarily  to  develop properties. IRTCCII elected on March 15, 2001 to
become a taxable REIT subsidiary pursuant to the REIT Modernization Act of 1999.
In  conjunction  with  the  election,  the  Company made IRTCCII wholly-owned by
purchasing  the  remaining  outstanding common stock of IRTCCII for $2. Prior to
March  15,  2001,  the Company held 96% of the non-voting common stock and 1% of
the  voting  common  stock of IRTCCII. The remaining common stock was held by an
executive  officer  and  a director of the Company. IRTCCII was accounted for by
the  Company  under  the  equity  method  prior  to it becoming wholly-owned and
consolidated  as of March 15, 2001. As a result of the consolidation, the equity
investment  in  IRTCCII  of $17,313 was eliminated and the equity investment was
allocated,  based  on  net book values, to the respective places within the 2001
Consolidated  Balance Sheet. Within the allocation, net rental properties of the
Company  increased $17,989, cash increased $177, other assets increased $220 and
liabilities  increased  $1,073.

     LP, IRTCCII, IRTAL and IRTMC guarantee the Company's indebtedness under the
Company's  existing unsecured revolving term loan and its other senior debt. The
guarantees  are  joint  and  several  and  full  and  unconditional.

9.     MORTGAGE  NOTES  PAYABLE

     Mortgage  notes  payable  are  collateralized  by  various  real  estate

secured  by first mortgages on three properties. These notes are due and payable
in  ten  years  and  the  principal  amortization  is  based  on  a  thirty year
amortization  schedule.  The  notes bear interest at a weighted average interest
rate of 7.17% and range from 7.02% to 7.25%. Costs associated with obtaining the
secured  notes  totaled $366 and are being amortized over the term of the loans.

     During  2000,  the  Company made a scheduled balloon payment at maturity of
$3,521  on  a  note  bearing  interest  at  7.75%.

     The  $1,295 of interest premium as of December 31, 2001 relates to the fair
value  adjustment  of  the  three  mortgages  assumed from the minority interest
holder  in  connection  with  the  formation  of  LP  in  1998.

     Based  on  the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for notes
with  similar  terms  and maturities, the estimated fair value of mortgage notes
payable  was  approximately $137,522 and $129,371 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

10.     CONVERTIBLE  SUBORDINATED  DEBENTURES

     Effective  August  31, 1993, the Company issued $86,250 of 7.3% convertible
subordinated debentures due August 15, 2003, $23,275 of which are outstanding as
of  December  31,  2001.  Interest on the debentures is payable semi-annually on
February  15 and August 15.  The debentures are convertible at any time prior to
maturity  into  common  stock  of  the  Company  at $11.25 per share, subject to
adjustment  in  certain  events.  Costs  associated  with  the  issuance  of the
debentures are approximately $3,701 and are being amortized over the life of the
debentures.

                                       23

of  common  stock.  During  1998, $5,178 of these debentures were converted into
460,263  shares of common stock.  No debentures were converted during 2001, 2000
or  1999.  Based  upon  the  conversion price, 2,068,889 authorized but unissued
common shares have been reserved for possible issuance if the $23,275 debentures
outstanding  at  December  31,  2001  are  converted.

     The Company had the option to redeem the debentures at par and, on December
24, 2001, the Company gave notice it intended to exercise such redemption option
by  January  24,  2002.  See  Note  25  for  additional  disclosure.

     Based  on  the  closing  market  price  of  the debentures at year-end, the
estimated  fair value of the debentures was approximately $23,828 and $22,111 at
December  31,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

11.     SENIOR  NOTES

     On  March 26, 1996, the Company issued $50,000 of 7.45% senior notes. These
notes  were  due  April 1, 2001 and were repaid on such date. These senior notes
were  issued at a discount of $84 which was amortized over the life of the notes
on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes. Net proceeds from the
issuance  totaled  approximately $49,394. Interest on the 7.45% senior notes was
payable  semi-annually  on  April  1  and  October 1.  Costs associated with the
issuance  of  these  senior  notes totaled approximately $522 and were amortized
over  the  life  of  the  notes.

     On  August  15,  1997, the Company issued $75,000 of 7.25% senior notes due
August  15, 2007.  These senior notes were issued at a discount of $426 which is

financial  reporting  purposes.  Net proceeds from the issuance totaled $73,817.
Interest  on  the 7.25% senior notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and
August  15.  Costs  associated  with  the issuance of these senior notes totaled
approximately  $757  and  are  being  amortized  over  the  life  of  the notes.

     On  March 23, 2001, the Company established a Medium Term Note Program (the
"MTN  Program"), pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement filed in
January,  2001.  The MTN Program allows the Company, from time to time, to issue
and  sell up to $100,000 of medium term notes. Medium term notes have a maturity
of  nine  months  or  more  from  the  date  of issuance and are unconditionally
guaranteed  as  to  the  payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if
any,  by  each  of  LP,  IRTMC,  IRTAL  and  IRTCCII.

     On  March 29, 2001, pursuant to the MTN Program, the Company issued $50,000
of  7.77% senior notes due April 1, 2006. Net proceeds from the issuance totaled
$49,324.  Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and
October  1.  Costs  associated  with  the issuance of these senior notes totaled
approximately  $676  and  are  being  amortized  over  the  life  of  the notes.

                                       24

12.     INDEBTEDNESS  TO  BANKS

     On  November  1,  1999, the Company obtained a $100,000 unsecured revolving
loan  facility  ("Revolving Loan"), which was scheduled to mature on November 1,
2002.  This  loan  replaced  the  Company's  previous credit facility  which was
cancelled in conjunction with the new Revolving Loan. Due to the cancellation of
the  previous  credit  facility, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of
$157  for  the  write-off of the related unamortized loan costs.  In addition to
the  new Revolving Loan, the Company secured a $5,000 swing line credit facility
with  terms similar to those of the Revolving Loan and a scheduled maturity date
of  October  31,  2000.  On  November 1, 2000, the Company extended the maturity
date  of  the  Revolving Loan and swing line credit facility to November 1, 2003
and  the  Company  secured  an  option  to  increase  the  Revolving Loan at its
discretion  by  $50,000.

     Under  the  Revolving Loan, the Company may elect to pay interest at either
the  lender's  prime,  adjusted  daily or the LIBOR plus the "Applicable Margin"
based  upon  the rating of the senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company.
The  Applicable  Margin ranges from 0.95% to 1.40%.  The Applicable Margin based
on  the  Company's  current  rating is 1.15%. At December 31, 2001, the weighted
average  interest  rate  was 3.67% on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving
Loan.  The  terms  of  the Revolving Loan and swing line credit facility require
the  Company to pay an annual facility fee equal to 0.2% of the total commitment
and  include certain restrictive covenants which require compliance with certain
financial  ratios  and  measurements.  At  December 31, 2001, the Company was in
compliance  with  these  covenants.

     LP,  IRTCCII,  IRTAL  and IRTMC guarantee the Company's indebtedness on the
Revolving  Loan  and  swing  line  credit  facility.

     The  following  data  is  presented  with respect to the Revolving Loan and
swing  line  credit  facility  in  2001  and  2000:





                                                2001      2000

Maximum amount outstanding during the period  $57,000   $55,000
Average interest rate for the period             6.48%     7.61%
Interest rate at year end                        3.67%     7.97%


     The  Company  incurred  facility fees of approximately $224, $202, and $201
for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.


                                       25

13.     COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

     The  Company  has entered into change in control employment agreements with
certain  key  executives.  Under  each  agreement  in  the  event  employment is
terminated  following  a  "Change  In  Control," the Company is committed to pay
certain  benefits,  including the payment of each employee's base salary through
the  expiration  of  each  agreement.

     Certain  of  the Company's properties have environmental concerns that have
been  or  are  being addressed. The Company maintains limited insurance coverage
for  this  type  of environmental risk.  Although no assurance can be given that
Company properties will not be affected adversely in the future by environmental
problems, the Company presently believes that there are no environmental matters
that  are  reasonably  likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial  position.

14.     MINORITY  INTEREST

     Minority interest for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 represents
a  5.66%  and  7.0%  interest,  respectively, in the results of the LP which are
owned  by  a  third  party.  In 1998, LP was formed with a contribution of three
Florida  shopping  centers by an unaffiliated limited partner and a contribution
of  twenty  shopping  centers by the Company. Subsequent to the formation of LP,
the  Company  has  contributed cash to acquire seven shopping centers and LP has
divested  of  five  shopping  centers. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, 815,852 OP
Units were held by the limited partner. The unaffiliated limited partner has the
option  to  require LP to redeem its 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.

     Adjustments  have  been  made  to  the  minority  interest balance in LP to
properly  reflect  its  ownership interest in the Company. During 2001, 2000 and
1999,  adjustments  of  $13,  $(395) and $(357) were recorded, respectively. The
adjustments  are  a  result  of the purchase or issuance of additional shares of
common  stock  and  OP  units.

     The  Company  also  records  a  minority interest for the limited partners'
share of equity in two properties. The two properties in which the Company has a
general  partner  interest  are  Venice  Plaza  (75% interest) and North Village
Center (49.5% interest). The aggregate balance of the minority interest in these
properties  as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 is $528 and $434, respectively, and
is  included  within  accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.

19.     CASH  DISTRIBUTIONS  AND  DIVIDEND  REINVESTMENT  PLAN

     The  Company  has elected since inception to be treated as a REIT under the
Code.  In  accordance  with  the  Code, a REIT must distribute at least 90% (95%
prior  to  2001) of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. See Note 2

     The  Company  has  a  Dividend  Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP") which allows
shareholders,  who  own  at  least  100 shares of the Company's common stock, to
elect to reinvest all or a portion of their distributions in newly issued shares
of  common  stock of the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds under
the  DRIP  in  2001 and 1999 as shares were purchased on the open market to fund
the  DRIP.  In  2000, the Company issued 59,089 treasury shares and received net
proceeds  of  $497.

20.     EARNINGS  PER  SHARE

     Basic  earnings  per  share  were  computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted  average  number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.
The  effects  of  the  conversion  of the 7.3% subordinated debentures have been
included  in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they are dilutive
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The effects of such conversion of
the  7.3%  debentures  for the year ended December 31, 1999 is excluded, as they
are  antidilutive.  The  effects  of  the  conversion  of the OP Units have been
included  in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they are dilutive
for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000  and 1999. The effects of the
exercise  of  certain stock options and issuances of restricted stock, using the
treasury  stock  method,  have  been  included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation for the year ended December 31, 2001. Also, the effects of the stock
options were dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2000. However, the effects
of  the restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the effects of
the stock options and restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
antidilutive  and  excluded  from  the  calculation.

21.     STOCK  OPTION  AND  PURCHASE  PLANS

     Effective  May  8,  1989, the Company adopted and its shareholders approved
the 1989 Stock Option Plan (the "1989 Plan").  The 1989 Plan includes provisions
for  a)  the  granting  of  both Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") (as defined in
Section 422A of the Code) and nonqualified options to officers and employees and
b)  the  automatic  granting  of  nonqualified  options for 1,250 shares to each
non-employee  director  upon  the  election  and each annual re-election of each
non-employee director.  Under the terms of the 1989 Plan, the option price shall
be  no  less  than  the  fair market value of the optioned shares at the date of
grant.  The  options  are automatically vested and expire after ten years. There
is  a  maximum of 1,062,500 shares of common stock reserved under the 1989 Plan.

     Effective  June 18, 1998, the Company adopted and its shareholders approved
the  1998  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan (the "1998 Plan").  The 1998 Plan includes
provisions  for  the  granting of ISOs, nonqualified options, stock appreciation
rights,  performance  shares,  restricted  stock, dividend equivalents and other
stock-based awards.  Under the terms of the 1998 Plan, the option exercise price
shall  be  no less than the fair market value of the optioned shares at the date
of  the  grant. The options are automatically vested and expire after ten years.
There  is  a maximum of 1,625,000 shares of common stock reserved under the 1998
Plan.

     The  Company  also  adopted  the  IRT  Property Company 2000 Employee Stock
Purchase  Plan  (the  "ESPP"), approved by the shareholders on May 16, 2000. The
ESPP  allows  eligible  employees  to acquire shares of the Company's stock on a
quarterly  basis  through  payroll  deductions.  A  maximum of 300,000 shares of
common stock are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The purchase price of the
shares  of common stock are 90% of the lesser of the closing price of a share of
common stock on the first trading day of the purchase period or the last trading
day  of  the  purchase  period.  The  Company  initiated  the  ESPP
in  2001  and  there were two purchase periods in 2001, which ended on September
30,  2001  and  December  31,  2001, respectively. For the purchase period ended
September  30,  2001, 1,159 shares were purchased at a price of $9.72 per share.
For  the purchase period ended December 31, 2001, 1,380 shares were purchased at
a  price  of  $9.36  per  share.

     The  Company  accounts  for  these  plans  under APB No. 25, under which no
compensation  cost has been recognized for stock option grants. Had compensation
cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's
net  income  and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro
forma  amounts:





                 2001     2000     1999
                -------  -------  -------
                         
Net earnings:
  As reported   $25,220  $29,039  $28,331
  Pro forma     $25,080  $28,932  $28,331

EPS - basic:
  As reported   $  0.83  $  0.92  $  0.86
  Pro forma     $  0.83  $  0.92  $  0.85

EPS - diluted:
  As reported   $  0.83  $  0.91  $  0.86
  Pro forma     $  0.82  $  0.90  $  0.85


                                       31

    Because  the  SFAS  No.  123  method  of  accounting has not been applied to
options  granted  prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation
cost  may  not  be  representative  of  that  to  be  expected  in future years.

     Under  SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant and stock purchase
right  is  estimated as of the date of grant and date of purchase, respectively,
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair value of
options granted is $0.40, $0.46 and $0.62 for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The  weighted average fair value of the rights to purchase stock pursuant to the
ESPP  were  $1.98 for 2001. The following weighted-average assumptions were used
for  option  grants  and  stock  purchase  rights  in  2001,  2000  and  1999,
respectively:

26.     SUBSEQUENT  EVENTS

     On January 22, 2002, one of the Company's tenants, Kmart Corporation, filed
for  bankruptcy  protection.  The Company has eight stores leased to Kmart which
accounted  for  4.5%  of  the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31,
2001.

     On  January  23,  2002,  pursuant  to  the  MTN Program, the Company issued
$25,000 of 7.84% senior unsecured notes due January 23, 2012. Proceeds were used
to  redeem  the  Company's  7.3%  convertible  subordinated  debentures  and  to
partially  prepay  a  mortgage  note  payable.

     On  January  24,  2002,  the  Company  redeemed all of the outstanding 7.3%
convertible  subordinated  debentures  due  August,  2003  at  par  plus accrued
interest.  Prior  to  redemption, 165 bonds were converted into 14,659 shares of
common  stock.  The  Company  paid  $23,220  to  redeem  the  remaining  bonds
outstanding and recognized an extraordinary loss of $156.

     On  February  19,  2002,  the  Company acquired Parkwest Crossing, a 85,602
square  foot  neighborhood shopping center located in the Raleigh-Durham area of
North  Carolina.  The  Company  acquired  the  center  for approximately $6,600,
including  an assumption of a $4,800, 8.1% mortgage secured by the property. The
mortgage is due and payable in ten years and the principal amortization is based
on  a  thirty  year  amortization  schedule.

                                       34

     On  March  1, 2002, the Company prepaid a 9.63% mortgage note payable which
was  due  on  June  1,  2002  for  approximately  $5,210.

     In  May  2002,  the  Company  completed  an offering of 3,450,000 shares of
common stock at $11.79 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately
$38,508.

     On  May 30, 2002, 160,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted to
certain  Company  officers  as  incentives  for  future services. The restricted
shares  vest proportionately over 4 years from the date of grant. The restricted
shares were valued at the closing price of the Company's common stock on May 30,
2002  of  $11.97.

     On  September  25,  2002, LP sold Forest Hills Centre, a 74,180 square foot
shopping  center,  located  in  Wilson,  NC for approximately $6,850 in cash and
recognized  a  gain  on  the  sale  of  approximately  $2,062.

     On  September  30,  2002,  the  Company  prepaid  a  7.65%  secured loan of
approximately  $1,989.  The  loan  was  due  on  December  1,  2002.

  On  October  7,  2002,  an  agreement was signed for the sale of the Lexington
Shopping Center in Lexington, VA to close on November 29, 2002. This unsolicited
offer  was  from  the single tenant occupying the center. The Company expects to
recognize  a  gain  on  the  sale  of  approximately  $1,400.

    On October 28, 2002, Equity One, Inc. (NYSE: EQY) and the Company executed a
merger  agreement  pursuant  to  which  Equity One will acquire the Company.  In
connection  with  the  merger,  each of the Company's  shareholders may elect to
receive  for  each  share of the Company's common stock either $12.15 in cash or
0.9  shares  of  Equity One common stock, or a combination thereof. The terms of
the merger agreement further provide that the holders of no more than 50% of the
Company's  outstanding  common  stock  may  elect  to  receive  cash.

     Completion of the transaction, which is expected to take place in the first
quarter  of  2003,  is subject to the approval of Equity One's and the Company's
shareholders  and  other customary conditions. The boards of each of the Company
and  Equity One have unanimously approved the transaction. Additionally, holders
of  approximately  75%  of Equity One's common stock and approximately 8% of the
Company's  common  stock  have  agreed  to  vote  their  shares  in favor of the
transactions  contemplated  by  the  merger.
On  the  4th  business  day  prior  to  the shareholder meetings, the Equity One
holders  may withdraw their voting support, and the Company's board may withdraw
its  merger recommendation, if Equity One's weighted average stock price for the
30  preceding trading days is less than $12.06 or less than $11.00 for the three
preceding  trading  days.  In  addition,  on  the  4th business day prior to the
shareholder meetings the Equity One holders may withdraw their voting support if
the  Company's weighted average stock price for the 30 preceding trading days is
less  than  $10.935  or  less  than $9.935 for the three preceding trading days.

    The  Company cannot make any assurances that the merger with Equity One will
be  consummated  according to the terms set forth in the merger agreement, if at
all.  Either the Company or Equity One may terminate the merger agreement if the
merger  is  not  consummated by March 31, 2003.  The Company will be required to
pay  a  $15  million  break-up  fee  to Equity One in the event that the Company
enters  into  an  agreement  for  a  superior  transaction  or if, under certain
circumstances,  the  Company's  board  withdraws  its  recommendation  for  the
transaction.

                                       35

    On  October  31,  2002, Janet Herszenhorn, an individual stockholder of IRT,
purporting to represent a class of holders of IRT common stock, filed a putative
class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia, against IRT,
Equity  One and each of the directors of IRT. The complaint alleges, among other
things, that IRT and its individual directors breached their fiduciary duties by
agreeing  to the merger between Equity One and IRT and that Equity One aided and
abetted  such  breach. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, an order enjoining
consummation  of  the  merger  and  unspecified  damages.

     On  October  31,  2002,  John  Greaves,  an  individual stockholder of IRT,
purporting  to  represent  a  class of holders of IRT common stock, also filed a
putative  class  action  lawsuit  in the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia,
against IRT, Equity One and each of the directors of IRT. The complaint alleges,
among  other  things,  that  IRT  and  its  individual  directors breached their
fiduciary  duties  by agreeing to the merger between Equity One and IRT and that
Equity One aided and abetted such breach. The complaint seeks injunctive relief,
an  order  enjoining  consummation  of  the  merger  and  unspecified  damages.

     Although  the  defendants  believe  that  these suits are without merit and
intend  to  defend  themselves  vigorously,  there  can be no assurance that the
pending  litigation  will not interfere with the consummation of the merger. IRT
and Equity One do not expect that these suits will interfere with the scheduling
of  their  respective shareholder meetings or the consummation of the merger, if
approved.
