additional Common Stock or other securities of the Company if such Common Stock
or securities become available at prices that are attractive to FBIC.  On the
other hand, depending on market and other considerations, FBIC may dispose of
all or a portion of the Company Stock or other securities it now owns or may
hereinafter acquire.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Prior to execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, none of FBIC, any of
the Affiliates, or any of the directors or executive officers of FBIC, Fortis
AMEV or Fortis AG beneficially owned any Company Stock.  Other than FBIC's
acquisition of the Company Stock as described herein, none of such persons
currently beneficially owns any Company Stock.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     The Company and each of FBIC, Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. - 
U.S. Real Estate Portfolio, Morgan Stanley SIVAC Subsidiary SA, Wellsford Karpf
Zarrilli Ventures, L.L.C., Logan, Inc., and Pension Trust Account No. 104972
Held by Bankers Trust Company as Trustee (FBIC and all of such other investors
are collectively the "Investors") have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of August 20, 1996 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement").  Pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement, FBIC has the right to purchase an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 54,339 shares of Preferred Stock in three
separate closings for an aggregate purchase price of $13,000,000 in cash.  The
first closing (the "First Closing") was held on August 20, 1996 at which time
FBIC purchased 350,000 shares of Common Stock and 19,019 shares of Preferred
Stock for $4,550,000 in cash.  The second closing will be held on October 3,
1996, at which time FBIC shall purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock and
19,019 shares of Preferred Stock for $4,550,000 in cash.  The third closing
will be held on November 19, 1996, at which time FBIC shall purchase 300,000
shares of Common Stock and 16,301 shares of Preferred Stock for $3,900,000 in 
cash.

     FBIC's obligations to consummate the second and third closings discussed
above are contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, specified in
the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, FBIC is entitled, subject to
certain restrictions, to designate one individual to be nominated as a member
of the Company's Board of Directors.  The Company nominated James J.
Brinkerhoff as its designee, and he was elected to the Board effective as of
the date of the First Closing.

     The Company and each of the Investors are also parties to a Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of August 20, 1996 (the "Registration Rights
Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, each
of the Investors is entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration
of all Company Stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Registrable Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), generally as follows:

              Shelf Registration.  Not later than the earlier of (i) the third
         anniversary of the date of the First Closing, or (ii) the date that is
         180 days after the settlement of the initial sale pursuant to the
         Company's first public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use
         its best efforts to effect a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415
         of the Securities Act covering the Registrable Shares.  The Company is
         obligated to use its best efforts to cause such shelf registration
         statement to remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date on
         which

                             Page 4 of 14 Pages
<PAGE>   5

         all Registrable Shares have been sold under such shelf registration
         statement, or (ii) if an initial public offering of newly issued
         Common Stock has been consummated, which results in the Company
         receiving at least $60 million of gross proceeds and in which such
         Common Stock is listed for trading on a national stock exchange, the
         later of (A) the date that is 12 months after such shelf registration
         statement becomes effective and (B) the date that all Registrable
         Shares are freely transferable pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the
         regulations promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming for
         purposes of calculating such period that no holder thereof is an
         affiliate of the Company).

              Incidental (i.e., Piggyback) Registration.  In addition, the
         Registration Rights Agreement provides that if the Company at any time
         proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act on
         a Form S-1, Form S-2, Form S-3 or Form S-11, the holders of
         Registrable Securities are entitled to have their shares included in
         such registration statement on a pro rata basis, subject to certain
         other terms and conditions.

     Except as stated in this Item 6, FBIC does not have any contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any
other person with respect to the Company Stock, including, without limitation,
any agreements concerning (i) transfer or voting of any Common Stock, (ii)
finder's fees, (iii) joint ventures, (iv) loan or option arrangements, (v) puts
or calls, (vi) guarantees of profits, (vii) division of profits or losses or
(viii) the giving or withholding of proxies.

         The foregoing response to this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement, the full texts of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 1
and 2 of the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated August 28, 1996, filed by
Great Lakes REIT, Inc. (Commission File No. 0-28354).
