On April 1, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of the Advisor
in exchange for 100,000  shares of Common Stock (the  "Merger").  The Merger has
been  accounted for as a purchase.  Of the total  purchase  price of $1,565,726,
$1,489,033  was assigned to goodwill  and $76,693 to the net tangible  assets of
the Advisor  acquired by the  Company.  Goodwill  amortization  is computed on a
straight-line  basis over a twenty year period. As of April 1, 1996, the Company
employed the employees of the Advisor and is now self-managed and  self-advised.
Certain  employees  of the Advisor have  received  40,000  restricted  shares of
Common Stock.  Certain  restricted shares (30,000 shares) vest to the recipients
in equal amounts of April 1, 1997 and April 1, 1998 provided the  recipients are
still employed by the Company.  The other restricted shares (10,000 shares) vest
25% on May 1, 1999 and 25% on May 1 of the next three years (2000-2002) provided
the recipient is still employed by the Company. The fair value of the restricted
shares at the dates of grant  ($480,000) was deferred and is being recognized as
compensation expense over the vesting periods.

4.       Financing Activities

On April 15, 1996, the Company refinanced its bank line of credit with the First
National  Bank of  Boston  (as  agent).  As of that  date the new line of credit
allowed for maximum borrowings of $35,000,000 subject to certain loan covenants.
On June 28, 1996, the maximum borrowings under the line of credit were increased
to $50,000,000 subject to certain loan covenants. Interest on the Bank of Boston
line of credit accrues at LIBOR + 1.875% per annum.  Amounts  outstanding  under
this line of credit are due on April 12,  1998.  On June 30,  1996,  the Company
extended its line of credit with American National Bank until June 30, 1997. The
maximum amount available to be borrowed under this line of credit is $5,000,000.


5.       Proforma Financial Statements

The following  unaudited pro forma summary presents the results of operations of
the Company as if the  acquisition of the Advisor and the property  acquisitions
in 1996 and 1995 had occurred at the  beginning of 1995,  after giving effect to
certain adjustments,  including increased depreciation and interest expense. The
unaudited pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results
of  operations  as they would have been if the Company had  acquired the Advisor
and properties on January 1, 1995.

6.         Private Offering of Stock

In August 1996, the Company completed an agreement with a group of institutional


<PAGE>



investors  to sell  3,867,000  of its  common  shares at $13 per share and issue
210,128  preferred shares (the "1996  Offering").  The preferred shares carry no
dividend  or  voting  rights,  and  shall be  converted  to  common  shares on a
one-for-one basis or canceled,  depending on the Company's attainment of certain
objectives  related to the  timing,  pricing  and size of a public  offering  of
additional shares of the Company's stock by September 30, 1998.

In  connection  with the 1996  Offering,  in August of 1996 the  Company  issued
1,353,450 common shares and 73,548 preferred shares and received  $17,594,850 in
gross proceeds from the sale of the common and preferred shares,  and in October
1996, the Company issued 1,353,450 common shares and 73,548 preferred shares and
received gross proceeds of $17,594,850  from the sale of those shares.  Pursuant
to the terms of the 1996  Offering,  in  November  1996 the  Company is to issue
1,160,100  common  shares and 63,032  preferred  shares and will  receive  gross
proceeds of $15,081,300 from the sale of these shares.

7.         Subsequent Events

On October 21, 1996, the Company sold the property  commonly known as No. 10 Oak
Hollow, an 85,000 square foot three-story office building located in Southfield,
Michigan  for a  contract  price of  $9,300,000  resulting  in a gain on sale of
approximately  $2.1 million.  The Company  intends to reinvest the proceeds from
this sale in a similar property via a tax-free exchange  completed  according to
Section  1031 of the Internal  Revenue  Code.  On November 1, 1996,  the Company
acquired two single-story  office and office service center  buildings  totaling
127,000 square feet located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The total contract price
was  approximately  $9.3 million and the purchase was funded from the previously
escrowed sales proceeds from the No. 10 Oak Hollow property described above.

On November 8, 1996,  the Company  acquired  two  three-story  office  buildings
totaling  122,000  square feet  located in West Allis,  Wisconsin  (a  Milwaukee
suburb) for a contract  price of  approximately  $8.0 million.  A portion of the
purchase price was funded from the Bank of Boston line of credit.

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

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 in the
Midwest. At September 30, 1996, the Company owned and operated twenty properties
located in suburban areas of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee,  Cincinnati,  Columbus
and  Minneapolis.  The Company  leases office and  industrial  space to over 200
tenants in a variety of businesses.

Over the past three years,  the Company has  expanded its real estate  portfolio
through the acquisition of suburban office and office/service  center properties
in the  Midwest.  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 secured by its property assets.  Growth in net income and
funds from  operations  (FFO) for the three and nine months ended  September 30,
1996 as compared to September 30, 1995 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 1995  and  1996  from  the  dates of their
respective acquisitions.

The Company  believes that to facilitate a clear  understanding of its operating
results,  FFO should be examined in conjunction with the net income as presented
in the  Condensed  Financial  Statements  included  elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
However,  FFO should not be  considered  as a  substitute  for net income (as an
indicator of the Company's  performance) or as a substitute for cash flows (as a
measure of liquidity).

Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating  results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of the Company,  the changes in rental income and property  operating  expenses,
from 1995 are due  principally to three  factors:  (1) the addition of operating
results from properties acquired during 1996; (2) the addition of nine months of
operating  results in 1996 of  properties  acquired  in 1995 as  compared to the
partial  period  of  operating  results  from  the  dates  of  their  respective
acquisitions  in 1995 and (3) improved  operations of properties  during 1996 as
compared to 1995.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the Company  acquired four new
investment  properties.  The  operating  results of these  properties  have been
included  in  the  Company's  financial   statements  from  the  date  of  their
acquisition. In 1995, the Company acquired 7 properties, and in 1996 a full nine
months of  operations  of these  properties  has been  included in the Company's
financial statements.

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

                                               ==========           =========


Interest  expense  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 increased by
$1,560,000  as the  Company  had  greater  amounts of long and  short-term  debt
outstanding in 1996. This debt was used to finance the acquisition of properties
acquired in 1995 and 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $888,000 due to the increase in
the  size of the  Company,  and  certain  one-time  costs  associated  with  the
relocation  of the  Company's  offices  and the  adoption  of  certain  employee
agreements.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased in 1996 by  $1,529,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on twenty properties in 1996 versus fourteen  properties
in 1995.

Three months ended September 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating  results for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996 of
the Company, the changes in rental income and property operating expenses,  from
1995 are due principally to three factors: (1) the addition of operating results
from  properties  acquired  during  1996;  (2) the addition of a full quarter of
operating  results in 1996 from  properties  acquired in 1995 as compared to the
partial  quarter  of  operating  results  from the  dates  of  their  respective
acquisitions  in 1995 and (3) improved  operations of properties  during 1996 as
compared to 1995.

The Company  acquired  four new  investment  properties  in 1996.  The operating
results  of these  properties  have been  included  in the  Company's  financial
statements from the date of their acquisitions.  In 1995, the Company acquired 7
properties,  and in 1996 a full quarter of  operations of these  properties  has
been included in the Company's financial statements.

                                               ==========           ========



Interest  expense  during the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996  increased  by
$439,000  as the  Company  had  greater  amounts  of long  and  short-term  debt
outstanding  in  1996.  This  debt  was  used to  finance  the  acquisistion  of
properties acquired in 1995 and 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $353,000 due to the increase in
the  size of the  Company,  and  certain  one-time  costs  associated  with  the
relocation  of the  Company's  offices  and the  adoption  of  certain  employee
agreements.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  in 1996 by  $513,000  as the Company
incurred these expenses on twenty properties in 1996 versus fourteen  properties
in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 1996 were $816,000,  a decrease of
$487,000 as compared to December 31, 1995.  The decline is primarily  due to the
Company  continuing  to invest in tenant and other capital  improvements  at its
properties and the acquisition of four investment properties in 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 accordance
with the REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.

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   and   uncollateralized
borrowings  and the  issuance of debt or  additional  equity  securities  in the
Company.  In April 1996, the Company  established a $35 million revolving credit
facility  with  the  First  National  Bank  of  Boston  (as  agent)  and  repaid
substantially all of the balance  outstanding on the American National Bank line
of credit.  In June of 1996,  the Company  increased its line of credit with the
First National Bank of


<PAGE>



Boston to $50  million,  subject to certain  loan  covenants.  The Company  also
extended its line of credit with the American National Bank until June 30, 1997.
The maximum  amount that may be borrowed  from the American  National Bank is $5
million.  At September 30, 1996, the Company has $27,602,368  outstanding on its
line of  credit  with the  First  National  Bank of  Boston  with  approximately
$2,323,000 available to borrow. The amount available to be borrowed at September
30, 1996 under the American National Bank line of credit is $5 million.

In August 1996, the Company completed an agreement with a group of institutional
investors  to sell  3,867,000  shares of its common  stock at a price of $13 per
share and issue 210,128 shares of preferred  stock. In connection with the stock
sale, the Company  received  $17,594,850 in August 1996,  $17,594,850 in October
1996, and will receive  $15,081,300 on November 19, 1996. The Company intends to
use  the  proceeds  from  this  stock  sale  to  acquire  additional  investment
properties,   for  tenant  and  other  capital   improvements  at  its  existing
properties, and for general working capital purposes. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had committed to fund approximately $1.1 million of tenant  improvements
at its Springdale, Ohio property. The Company expects to fund these commitments,
in part, through its Bank of Boston and American National Bank lines of credit.
