hereby amends Items 8 and 14(a) of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Great Lakes REIT

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great Lakes
REIT as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audit also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Great Lakes
REIT at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

    Great Lakes REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust, (the "Company"),
was formed in 1992 to invest in income-producing real property. The principal
business of the Company is the ownership, management, leasing, renovation and
acquisition of suburban office and light industrial properties primarily located
in the Midwest. At December 31, 1999, the Company owned and operated 36
properties primarily located in suburban areas of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee,
Denver, Cincinnati, Columbus and Minneapolis. The Company leases office and
light industrial space to over 500 tenants in a variety of businesses.

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled partnership. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    PROPERTIES

    Costs incurred for the acquisition, development, construction and
improvement of properties are capitalized. Certain costs of yet-to-be acquired
properties, including deposits and professional fees, are capitalized as other
assets. These costs are subsequently capitalized as property acquisition costs
or charged to expense when it becomes apparent that acquisition of a particular
property is not probable. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when
incurred.

    Depreciation of buildings is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years. Depreciation of
tenant improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter
of the lease term or useful life. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997, depreciation expense amounted to $13,877, $11,453 and $6,463,
respectively.

    The Company recognizes impairment losses for its properties when indicators
of impairment are present and a property's expected undiscounted cash flows are
not sufficient to recover the property's carrying amount.

    DEFERRED COSTS

    Deferred costs consist principally of financing fees and leasing commissions
that are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Minimum rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
related leases. Deferred rents receivable at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were
$4,917 and $4,437, respectively. Additional rents from expense reimbursements
for common area maintenance expenses and real estate taxes are recognized in the
period in which the related expenses are incurred.

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999
and 1998, the Company had $1,336 and $2,449, respectively, in a money market
fund.

    INCOME TAXES

    The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute
to shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income and to meet certain asset and
income tests as well as certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision
for income taxes has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

    As of December 31, 1999, properties, rents receivable, goodwill and prepaid
rent have a federal income tax basis of approximately $438,981, $1,358, $-0- and
$-0-, respectively.

    SHARE OPTIONS

    The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), in accounting for
its options on common shares. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is
recognized because the exercise price of the Company's employee share options
equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying shares at the date of
grant.

    INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENT

    The Company purchased an interest rate cap agreement to hedge its exposure
to increases in interest costs under its variable rate debt. The one-time
premium paid by the Company is included in deferred financing costs and is
amortized over the term of the agreement using the straight-line method. Net
amounts paid or received under the agreement are recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense when such amounts are incurred or earned. The Company is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties under
the agreement, but the Company does not expect non-performance by any of these
counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally limited to the amount
of any payments due but not yet received from the counterparty.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain accounts in 1998 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform with the
1999 presentation. Such reclassifications did not effect the results of
operations.

</TABLE>

    During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, amortization of
financing costs was $526, $574 and $1,099, respectively, and amortization of
leasing costs was $1,424, $990 and $563, respectively.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT

    Mortgage loans payable aggregated $100,113 and $104,532 at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. The mortgage loans payable require monthly payments of
principal and interest. Interest rates at December 31, 1999, ranged from 6.83%
to 8.95%.

    The Company has obtained a bank letter of credit to secure repayment of the
bonds payable in a face amount of approximately $4,600. The Company has
guaranteed repayment of the letter of credit to the issuing bank as well as
granted the issuing bank a first mortgage on the property. The interest rate on
the bonds (5.4% per annum at December 31, 1999) is reset weekly by the bond
placement agent.

    The Company has a $150,000 unsecured bank credit facility with a maturity
date of April 2001. The unsecured credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus
1.0% to 1.3% depending on overall company leverage (7.4875% at December 31,
1999).

    In June 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a
major financial institution whereby the Company has limited the LIBOR interest
rate on $50,000 of its variable rate debt to no more than 6% per annum until
June 2001. The cost of this agreement to the Company was $209 and is being
amortized to expense over the period of the agreement (24 months).

    The following is a summary of principal maturities of mortgage loans, bank
loan and bonds payable:

4. SHARE OPTIONS

    The Company has a share option plan that provides for the granting of
options on common shares to non-employee trustees. At December 31, 1999, options
on 80,590 shares were available for future grant.

    In 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan
(the "1997 Plan") which superseded the Company's prior plan. The 1997 Plan
provides that 2,250,000 common shares of beneficial interest were reserved for
issuance to Company employees. At December 31, 1999, options on 296,700 shares
were available for future grant under the 1997 Plan.

    For options granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997, the exercise prices at the dates
of grant were equal to or greater than the fair value of the Company's shares.

    A summary of the Company's share option activity and related information for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

    The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee share options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee share options.

    The effects on 1999 and 1998 pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per
common share, both basic and diluted, of amortizing to expense the estimated
fair value of share options are not necessarily representative of the effects on
net income to be reported in future years due to such things as the vesting
period of the share options, and the potential for issuance of additional share
options in future years.

    For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's
unaudited pro forma information follows for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998:

    The Company has a limited purpose employee loan program whereby employees
may borrow a portion of the cost of exercising options on common shares held by
the employee. Such loans bear interest at the Company's cost of funds which is
payable quarterly, are recourse to the employees, have a term of five years
provided the employee remains employed by the Company, and are secured by a
pledge of the common shares acquired by the employee through this program. As of
December 31, 1999, employees had acquired approximately 1,119,000 common shares
through this program with outstanding loan amounts of $16,335 due the Company.
Such amount is reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity until the loans
are repaid.

5. SHARE OFFERINGS

    In December 1998, the Company sold 1.5 million shares of 9 3/4% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest. Net proceeds of
approximately $36,200 were used to repay a portion of its unsecured credit
facility.

    In April 1998, the Company sold 1,184,211 common shares to a newly formed
unit investment trust. Net proceeds of approximately $21,000 were used to repay
a portion of its unsecured credit facility.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The Company has three reportable segments distinguished by property type.
The property types are office, with 89% (as measured by square feet at
December 31, 1999) of the Company's overall portfolio, office/service center
(11%), and industrial (0%, the Company sold its only industrial property in
1999), and are principally located in the Midwest. As of December 31, 1999, the
properties were leased to more than 500 tenants, no single tenant accounted for
more than 5% of the aggregate annualized base rent of the Company's portfolio
and only 20 tenants individually represented more than 1% of such aggregate
annualized base rent.

    The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on property
revenues (rental and reimbursement income) less property operating expenses and
real estate taxes to arrive at net operating income--a widely recognized
industry measure of a property's performance.
