ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and 
Financial Condition

The  following  is a  discussion  and  analysis  of the  consolidated  financial
condition  and results of  operations  for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1997.  The following  should be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial  statements  and  related  notes  appearing  elsewhere  herein and the
consolidated  financial  statements and related notes contained in the 1996 Form
10-K.

Overview

Great Lakes REIT, Inc. (the Company) a Maryland corporation,  was formed on June
22, 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  located within a 500 mile
radius  of  Chicago.  At June 30,  1997,  the  Company  owned  and  operated  28
properties located in suburban areas of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati,
Columbus and Minneapolis. The Company leases office and industrial space to over
300 tenants in a variety of businesses.

The Company has expanded its real estate  portfolio  through the  acquisition of
suburban office and office/service  center properties.  The Company has financed
its growth by the  issuance  of  additional  shares of its  common  stock and by
issuing  short and  long-term  mortgage  notes  payable  that are secured by its
property  assets.  Growth in net income and funds from operations  (FFO) for the
three and six months  ended June 30,  1997 as compared to June 30, 1996 has been
due to a combination of improved operations of the Company's  properties and the
inclusion of the operating results of properties  acquired in 1996 and 1997 from
the dates of their respective acquisitions.

Three months ended June 30, 1997

In  analyzing  the  operating  results for the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997 the
changes in rental  income,  real estate taxes and property  operating  expenses,
from 1996 are due  principally to three  factors:  (1) the addition of operating
results from properties acquired during 1997; (2) the addition of a full quarter
of operating results in 1997 from properties acquired in 1996 as compared to the
partial  quarter  of  operating  results  from the  dates  of  their  respective
acquisitions in 1996, and (3) improved  operations of properties  during 1997 as
compared to 1996.

The Company acquired one investment  property in the second quarter of 1997. The
operating results of this property have been included in the Company's financial
statements from the date of its  acquisition.  In 1996, the Company  acquired 10
properties,  and in 1997 a full quarter of  operations of these  properties  has
been included in the Company's financial statements.

A summary of these changes as they impact rental income,  real estate taxes, and
property operating expenses follows:

</TABLE>

Interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased by $339,000 as
the  Company  had  increased   amounts  of  long  and  short-term   indebtedness
outstanding in 1997. This debt was used to finance the acquisition of properties
acquired in 1996 and 1997.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased by $183,000 due to increases in
the amortization of deferred compensation ($89,000),  and increased compensation
expense in 1997 as compared to 1996 ($94,000).

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased in 1997 by  $1,230,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on 28 properties in 1997 as compared to 16 properties in
1996.

Six months ended June 30, 1997

In analyzing the operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of the
Company,  the changes in rental income, real estate taxes and property operating
expenses,  from 1996 are due  principally to three factors:  (1) the addition of
operating  results from  properties  acquired during 1997; (2) the addition of a
full six months of operating results in 1997 from properties acquired in 1996 as
compared  to the partial  period of  operating  results  from the dates of their
respective  acquisitions  in 1996;  and (3) improved  operations  of  properties
during 1997 as compared to 1996.

During the six months  ended  June 30,  1997,  the  Company  acquired  three new
investment  properties.  The  operating  results of these  properties  have been
included  in  the  Company's  financial   statements  from  the  date  of  their
acquisitions.  In 1996, the Company  acquired 10 properties,  and in 1997 a full
six months of operations of these  properties has been included in the Company's
financial statements.

</TABLE>

Interest  expense  during  the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997  increased  by
$1,002,000  as  the  Company  had  increased  amounts  of  long  and  short-term
indebtedness  outstanding  in 1997.  This  indebtedness  was used to finance the
acquisition of properties acquired in 1996 and 1997.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased by $775,000 due to increases in
the amortization of deferred compensation ($164,000),  professional fees related
to certain employee matters ($62,000), increased legal and audit fees ($79,000),
increased  costs  associated  with the  implementation  of a  performance  based
compensation  system in 1997 compared to the outside  advisory fees paid in 1996
($274,000) and an increase in the size of the Company ($196,000).

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased in 1997 by  $2,102,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on 28 properties in 1997 as compared to 16 properties in
1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 1997 were  $10,020,000,  an increase of
$8,332,000  as compared to December 31, 1996.  The increase is primarily  due to
increased  cash flow from  operating  activities in 1997 as compared to 1996 and
increased net cash provided by financing activities in 1997 as compared to 1996.

The Company  expects to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements  generally
through its working capital and net cash provided by operating  activities.  The
Company  considers its cash  provided by operating  activities to be adequate to
meet  operating  requirements  and to fund the payment of  dividends in order to
comply with certain  federal income tax  requirements  applicable to real estate
investment trusts (REITs).

The  Company  expects  to meet its  long-term  liquidity  requirements  (such as
scheduled  mortgage debt  maturities,  property  acquisitions,  and  significant
capital improvements) by long-term collateralized


<PAGE>



and  uncollateralized  borrowings and the issuance of debt or additional  equity
securities in the Company.  The Company  completed an initial public offering of
its common shares in May 1997. The net proceeds of  approximately  $93.4 million
were used to repay its bank lines of credit, for repayment of other indebtedness
(including   certain   mortgage   debt  secured  by  certain  of  the  Company's
properties),  and for working capital. The Company expects to borrow on its bank
line of credit to acquire additional investment properties in 1997.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

The White Paper on Funds From  Operations  approved by the Board of Governors of
the National  Association of Real Estate  Investment  Trusts ("NAREIT") in March
1995  (the  "White  Paper")  defines  FFO  as net  income  (loss)  (computed  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles),  excluding gains or
losses  from  debt  restructuring  and  sales  of  property,  plus  real  estate
depreciation  and  amortization   and  after   adjustments  for   unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure
of performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analyses.
The Company  computes FFO in accordance with standards  established by the White
Paper  (except  for  the  amortization  of  deferred   compensation  related  to
restricted  stock awards issued in connection  with the Merger) which may differ
from the  methodology  for  calculating  FFO  utilized by other equity REITs and
accordingly,  may not be  comparable  to other  such  REITs.  FFO  should not be
considered  as an  alternative  to net income  (determined  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles)  as an indicator  of the  Company's
financial  performance or to cash flow from operating activities  (determined in
accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles) as a measure of the
Company's  liquidity,  nor is it  indicative  of  funds  available  to fund  the
Company's cash needs,  including its ability to make distributions.  FFO for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:
