                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                     (UNAUDITED)
        (COLUMNAR DOLLARS IN FOOTNOTES ARE IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                                           
A.   BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION:

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accrual
     basis and include the accounts of Mid-America Realty Investments, Inc. (the
     "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mid-America Centers Corp.  The
     unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the
     Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1996.

     The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which consist of
     normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary to fairly present the financial results for the interim periods
     presented.  The results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
     1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
     year.

     All material intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     Net income per share was determined by dividing net income for the periods
     presented by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
     outstanding for the period.  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 128, "Earnings per Share", effective for fiscal years beginning after
     December 15, 1997.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have
     a material impact on the Company's Net Income Per Share calculation.

     In addition, in February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
     Structure."  In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
     Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", all of which are
     effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The adoption
     of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the
     operations of the Company.

     During the third quarter ending September 30, 1997, the Company completed
     the following:
      
     -    Finalized a $4,000,000, 8.28% fixed rate mortgage loan secured by the
          Miracle Hills Park Shopping Center.  The net proceeds from this loan
          were used to repay the maturing $3,300,000 fixed rate mortgage secured
          by the Miracle Hills Park Shopping Center and to repay variable rate
          acquisition line debt.  This loan has a seven (7) year term with
          payments based on a 25-year amortization.  The company paid fees of
          approximately $46,000.

                                    7

     -    Renegotiated the terms of its revolving credit agreements.  The
          $5,000,000 working capital and the $10,000,000 acquisition lines of
          credit were extended to July 1999 for an extension fee of $15,000. 
          Both lines are priced at 200 basis points over LIBOR.  The $15,000,000
          acquisition line was extended until July 1998 with the interest rate
          remaining at 225 basis points over LIBOR; non-use fee of 25 basis
          points was eliminated.
     
D.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     In June 1992, the Company entered into a Yield Maintenance Agreement (as
     amended, the "YMA") with parties formerly related to the Company.  Under
     the YMA, the formerly related parties guaranteed a 10% return from June 1,
     1992 to December 31, 1996, calculated on a quarterly basis, to the Company
     based upon the amount of the Company's Investment Base for five specific
     properties purchased from the formerly related parties.

     Under the YMA, the market value of these properties was determined as of
     December 31, 1996.  The determined market value was based on a 10.25%
     capitalization rate applied to net operating income for the year ended
     December 31, 1996.  The determined market value of the properties was less
     than the Company's adjusted acquisition cost, accordingly, the difference
     was owed to the Company, subject to certain limits.  The obligations of the
     formerly related parties under the YMA was limited to $2,800,000.

     In April 1997, the Company received the final settlement of approximately
     $1,421,000 due under the YMA.  Total 1997 amounts received under this
     agreement were $1,517,000.  The proceeds, which prior to receipt were not
     reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, were
     used to reduce bank line debt.  These amounts were not considered operating
     income or net income, and were applied against the carrying value of the
     properties purchased from the formerly related parties.

E.   PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS:

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company sold two
     outlot parcels for total proceeds of approximately $344,000 resulting in a
     book gain of approximately $130,000.

F.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     On October 28, 1997, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.22 per
     common share payable on November 26, 1997 to shareholders of record on
     November 12, 1997.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company's primary sources of funds are (i) cash generated from operations
which includes distributions from Mid-America Bethal, (ii) borrowings, (iii)
sales of real estate, and (iv) principal repayments on notes receivable. 
Management anticipates that these sources will provide the necessary funds for
its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring
capital expenditures and dividends to shareholders in accordance with REIT
requirements, during the next twelve months.  Management also believes that it
has capital, and the access to capital resources, sufficient to expand and
develop its business in accordance with its strategy for growth.  In general,
the Company intends to acquire and finance additional real estate properties and
investments, to the extent possible, in such a manner as to maintain the ability
to make regular distributions to shareholders.  However, the future issuance of
debt or equity securities by the Company or the acquisition of new properties or
investments could affect the yield to shareholders.

At September 30, 1997, the Company had invested approximately 95% of its assets
in enclosed malls and neighborhood shopping centers, including the Company's
investment in Mid-America Bethal.  The remainder of the Company's assets
primarily consisted of accounts and notes receivable.

The Company had a debt-to-equity ratio of .80 to 1 at September 30, 1997,
compared to .81 to 1 at December 31, 1996, based upon the ratio of mortgages and
notes payable to total shareholders' equity.  The Company's ratio of debt to
total market capitalization was 41% at September 30, 1997 and 45% at December
31, 1996.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash flows from investing
activities were $1,220,000.  Net cash provided from the sale of real estate
totaled $344,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  In addition, the
Company received $1,517,000 in proceeds related to the Company's Yield
Maintenance Agreement with the former related parties and $111,000 principal
repayments on Notes Receivable with the former related parties.  Also during
these nine months, the Company paid cash of approximately $752,000 related to
lease fees and capital improvements.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash flows used in
financing activities were $7,951,000 which consisted of dividends paid of
$5,467,000 and reduction of debt of $2,405,000.  In addition, loan fees of
$79,000 were paid during the third quarter ended September 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $3,456,000 or $.42
per share compared to $2,885,000 or $.35 per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, an increase of $571,000 or 20%.  Net income for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,130,000 or $.14 per share, compared to
$769,000 or $.09 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of $361,000 or 47%.

The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996 was due primarily to 
the loss on sale of real estate of $289,000 during the third quarter of 1996, 
the increase in rental income resulting from recent expansion activities, the 
impact of new leases, and a decrease in the Company's weighted average cost 
of funds. Also impacting the change was an increase in the equity in earnings 
of Mid-America Bethal Limited Partnership of $48,000 for the three months 
ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period during 1996.

                                    9
<PAGE>


The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was primarily due to the
gain on sale of real estate of $130,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1997, compared to a loss on sale of real estate of $289,000 recorded during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Other large contributing items
included a decrease in interest expense of $175,000 and an increase of $70,000
in the equity in earnings of Mid-America Bethal  Partnership for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.

RENTAL INCOME:

Rental income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$13,027,000 and $4,321,000, respectively, compared to $12,852,000 and
$4,257,000, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of $175,000 and $64,000 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase was due
primarily to the effect of recent expansion activities, the impact of new leases
and an increase in percentage rents.

REIMBURSEMENT INCOME:

Reimbursement income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$3,783,000 and $1,310,000, respectively, compared to $3,864,000 and $1,279,000
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease of $81,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996
was attributable to a decrease in the year end calculation adjustment of
tenants' pro rata share of taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs. 
The increase of $31,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared
to 1996 reflected the increase in base rents and timing of certain reimbursable
expenses.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT INCOME:

Property management income, which primarily consists of lease and property
management fees from properties managed for Mid-America Bethal, was $130,000 and
$42,000, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $153,000 and $51,000, respectively, for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $23,000 and $9,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  The
decrease was attributable to fewer new leases at properties owned by Mid-America
Bethal during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
same period in 1996.

OTHER INCOME:

Other income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 was $478,000
and $142,000, respectively, compared to $566,000 and $149,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease was primarily attributable
to a prior year payment from the Company's investment in the Valley Park Centre
received in the first quarter of 1996.

OTHER PROPERTY COSTS:

Other property costs for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$2,876,000 and $999,000, respectively, compared to $2,739,000 and $1,025,000,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase of $137,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996 was primarily attributable to an increase in legal and

INTEREST EXPENSE:

Interest expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 was 
$4,180,000 and $1,381,000, respectively, compared to $4,355,000 and 
$1,438,000, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 
1996, a decrease of $175,000 and $57,000, respectively.  The Company's 
average total debt was $62,657,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 compared to $65,546,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
The Company's weighted average cost of funds was 8.9% during the first nine 
months of 1997 and 1996.

REAL ESTATE TAXES:

Real estate tax expense for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997
was $2,224,000 and $738,000, respectively, compared to $2,267,000 and $674,000,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and the increase for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 1996 was attributable to
successfully negotiating a reduction of taxable value at several of the
properties, coupled with a decrease in the tax assessed levy at several
properties, offset by timing of payments between quarters.  

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

Administrative expenses for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997
were $1,000,000 and $299,000, respectively, compared to $1,034,000 and $281,000,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease
of $34,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996.  The decrease related primarily to certain one time charges of
approximately $10,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, coupled with
timing of certain general and administrative expenses.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LEASING EXPENSES:

Property management expenses for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1997 were $871,000 and $281,000, respectively, compared to $797,000 and
$254,000, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996. 
This was an increase of $74,000 and $27,000 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1997.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in
leasing and marketing activities.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS:

Management considers Funds from Operations to be the most appropriate measure of
the performance of an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT").  The Company
defines Funds From Operations as net income before gains/losses from property
sales adjusted for non-cash items in the statement of operations, such as
depreciation and amortization.  Funds from Operations is a supplemental measure
of performance that does not replace net income (loss) as a measure of
performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of
liquidity.

Funds From Operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997
were $7,333,000 and $2,481,000 or $.89 and $.30 per share respectively, compared
to $7,122,000 and $2,361,000 or $.86 and $.29 per share, respectively, for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1996.
