ITEM 5.                          PENDING ACQUISITION OF ASSETS


Regency Realty Corporation (the "Company") announced on January 12, 1998 that it
had entered  into an  agreement  to acquire  the real estate  assets of entities
comprising the Midland Group ("Midland")  consisting of 21 shopping centers (the
"Midland Properties") plus a development pipeline of 12 shopping centers. Of the
21 centers to be acquired,  20 are anchored by Kroger and King Soopers, a Kroger
subsidiary.  Eight of the shopping centers included in the development  pipeline
will be owned  through a joint venture in which the Company will own less than a
50% interest upon completion of construction.

At closing and during 1998, the Company will pay approximately $230.4 million to
acquire 21 properties and pay transaction costs through the issuance of units of
limited  partnership  interest valued at $26.58 per unit or cash of $47 million,
the  assumption of $92.5 million of debt,  and $90.9 million to pay off existing
secured real estate loans.  The Company will incur additional costs to establish
reserves, pay severance,  and prepay existing assumed loans. Subsequent to 1998,
the  Company  expects to pay  approximately  $12.7  million  to  acquire  equity
interests in the development pipeline as the properties reach stabilization. The
Company may also be required to make payments  aggregating $10.5 million through
the year 2000 contingent upon increases in net income from existing  properties,
the development pipeline, and new properties developed or acquired in accordance
with the contribution agreement.

The factors  considered by the Company in  determining  the price to be paid for
the shopping centers included  historical and expected cash flow,  nature of the
tenancies and terms of the leases in place,  occupancy rates,  opportunities for
alternative and new tenancies,  current operating costs,  physical condition and
location,  and the anticipated impact on the Company's  financial  results.  The
Company took into consideration  capitalization rates at which it believes other
shopping  centers have recently  sold,  but determined the purchase price on the
factors  discussed above. No separate  independent  appraisals were obtained for
the properties acquired.

Consummation  of the  acquisition  is subject,  among other  things,  to Midland
partner and other third party consents. Amounts shown above for units issued and
cash  payments to Midland  partners  are  estimated  amounts that are subject to
Midland partner approval.



                                  OTHER EVENTS

The Company,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (together the  "Company")
acquired seven shopping centers (the "Acquisition Properties") during the months
of  June  through  December,  1997.  The  individual  purchase  price  of  these
acquisitions,  as  provided  below,  did  not  individually  exceed  10%  of the
Company's total assets. The acquisitions were made pursuant to separate purchase
agreements,  the  sellers  of which are  unrelated  to the  Company.  All of the
properties  currently operate as neighborhood retail shopping centers,  and will
continue as such. The purchase price of each shopping center was funded from the
Company's  revolving  line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty  Advisors  Funding,
Inc.





                            OTHER EVENTS (CONTINUED)

The factors  considered by the Company in  determining  the price to be paid for
the shopping centers included  historical and expected cash flow,  nature of the
tenancies and terms of the leases in place,  occupancy rates,  opportunities for
alternative and new tenancies,  current operating costs,  physical condition and
location,  and the anticipated impact on the Company's  financial  results.  The
Company took into consideration  capitalization rates at which it believes other
shopping  centers have recently  sold,  but determined the purchase price on the
factors  discussed above. No separate  independent  appraisals were obtained for
the Acquisition Properties.

The following summarizes the Acquisition Properties:

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Regency Realty Corporation:

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain expenses of
the Midland  Properties  for the year ended  December 31, 1996.  This  financial
statement is the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on this  statement  of  revenues  and certain  expenses  based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about whether the statement of revenues and certain  expenses is free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the statement of revenues 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 statement of revenues and certain expenses.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  statement  of revenues  and  certain  expenses of the Midland
Properties  was  prepared  for the  purpose  of  complying  with the  rules  and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and for inclusion in a
Form 8-K of Regency Realty Corporation and excludes material amounts,  described
in note 1, that would not be  comparable  to those  resulting  from the proposed
future  operation of the  properties.  The  presentation is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Midland Properties revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above
presents fairly,  in all material  respects,  the revenues and certain expenses,
described in note 1, of the Midland  Properties  for the year ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses






1.    Basis of Presentation, continued

      The accompanying  financial  statement is not representative of the actual
      operations for the period presented as certain expenses,  which may not be
      comparable to the expenses  expected to be incurred by RRC in the proposed
      future operation of the Midland Properties, have been excluded. RRC is not
      aware of any  material  factors  relating to the Midland  Properties  that
      would  cause the  reported  financial  information  not to be  necessarily
      indicative of future operating results.  Costs not directly related to the
      operation of the Midland  Properties  have been  excluded,  and consist of
      interest,  depreciation,  professional  fees,  certain other non operating
      expenses.


2.    Estimates

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


3.    Operating Leases

      For the year ended  December  31,  1996,  Kroger  Supermarkets,  an anchor
      tenant in 18 of the 20 shopping centers,  paid minimum rent of $6,315,460,
      which  exceeded  10% of the total  minimum  rent earned by all the Midland
      Properties.

      The Midland  Properties are leased to tenants under operating  leases with
      expiration  dates  extending to the year 2022.  Future  minimum rent under
      noncancelable  operating leases as of December 31, 1996,  excluding tenant
      reimbursements of operating expenses and excluding  additional  contingent
      rentals based on tenants' sales volume, are as follows:


                      Year ending December 31,       Amount

                               1997            $    17,564,921

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Regency Realty Corporation:

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain expenses of
Gardens  Square  Shopping  Center for the year ended  December  31,  1996.  This
financial  statement is the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on this  statement of revenues and certain  expenses based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about whether the statement of revenues and certain  expenses is free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the statement of revenues 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 statement of revenues and certain expenses.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain  expenses of Gardens Square
Shopping  Center was prepared  for the purpose of  complying  with the rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and for inclusion in a
Form 8-K of Regency Realty Corporation and excludes material amounts,  described
in note 1, that would not be  comparable  to those  resulting  from the proposed
future  operation  of the  property.  The  presentation  is not intended to be a
complete presentation of Gardens Square Shopping Center revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above
presents fairly,  in all material  respects,  the revenues and certain expenses,
described  in note 1, of  Gardens  Square  Shopping  Center  for the year  ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         GARDENS SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER

               Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                      For the year ended December 31, 1996






1.    Basis of Presentation

      The statement of revenues and certain expenses relates to the operation of
      a 90,258 square foot shopping  center (the  "Property")  located in Miami,
      Florida.

      The  Property's  financial  statement is prepared on the accrual  basis of
      accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      Subsequent  to December  31,  1996,  the  Property was acquired by Regency
      Realty Corporation (RRC) in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. All
      operations of the Property will be included in the consolidated  financial
      statements of RRC beginning at the acquisition date.

      The accompanying  financial  statement is not representative of the actual
      operations for the period presented as certain expenses,  which may not be
      comparable to the expenses  expected to be incurred by RRC in the proposed
      future operation of the Property,  have been excluded. RRC is not aware of
      any  material  factors  relating  to the  Property  that  would  cause the
      reported financial information not to be necessarily  indicative of future
      operating  results.  Costs not  directly  related to the  operation of the
      Property  have been  excluded,  and  consist  of  interest,  depreciation,
      professional fees, and various other non operating expenses.


2.    Estimates

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

      (a)   At closing  and during  1998,  the  Company  will pay  approximately
            $230.4  million to acquire 21 properties and pay  transaction  costs
            through the issuance of units of limited partnership interest valued
            at $26.58 per unit or cash of $47 million,  the  assumption of $92.5
            million of debt, and $90.9 million to pay off existing  secured real
            estate  loans.  Subsequent  to  1998,  the  Company  expects  to pay
            approximately  $12.7  million to  acquire  equity  interests  in the
            development  pipeline as the  properties  reach  stabilization.  The
            Company  may also be  required to make  payments  aggregating  $10.5
            million  through  the year 2000  contingent  upon  increases  in net
            income from existing properties,  the development pipeline,  and new
            properties developed or acquired in accordance with the contribution
            agreement.

           Properties (Rivermont Station,  Lovejoy Station,  Tamiami Trails, and
           Gardens  Square) were  acquired  prior to September  30, 1997 and are
           therefore included in the Company's September 30, 1997 balance sheet.

 The following  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of operations  are
 based upon the  historical  consolidated  statements of operations for the nine
 month period ended  September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 and
 are  presented  as if the Company  had  acquired  Midland  and the  Acquisition
 Properties as of January 1, 1996.  Previously Reported  Acquisitions  represent
 operating properties which the Company has acquired and reported on in two Form
 8-K/A's  dated  June 6, 1997 and March 7,  1997.  These pro forma  consolidated
 statements of operations  should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996

 Properties,  Garden  Square  and  Pinetree  Plaza  and notes  thereto  included
 elsewhere herein.

 The  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   statements  of  operations  are  not
 necessarily  indicative  of what the actual  results of the Company  would have

 (d)  Depreciation  expense is based upon the costs  allocated to the  buildings
      acquired  estimating the useful life. For properties  under  construction,
      depreciation expense is calculated from the date the property is placed in
      service through the end of the period. In addition,  the nine month period
      ended September 30, 1997 calculation reflects  depreciation expense on the
      Acquisition  Properties from January 1, 1997 to the respective acquisition
      date of the property.
