                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial  position,  results
of operations and cash flows in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  statements  should be read in conjunction with the Company's
most recent year-end audited financial statements. In the opinion of management,
the  financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments  (which  are  normal  and
recurring)  necessary for a fair statement of financial  results for the interim
periods.  For further  information,  refer to the financial statements and notes
thereto  included in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1996.

2.       Properties Acquired in 1997

On February 10, 1997, the Company  acquired Court Office Center, a 15,000 square
foot office  building  in  Markham,  Illinois  for a total  acquisition  cost of
$1,180,012.

On February 10, 1997,  the Company  acquired 1675 Holmes Road, a 101,286  square
foot  industrial  building in Elgin,  Illinois for a total  acquisition  cost of
$3,925,987.  A portion of the  acquisition  consideration  is represented by the
issuance of limited partnership units in the Company's  previously  wholly-owned
operating  partnership  which results in the recording of minority  interests in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

3.       Pro forma Financial Statements

As fully  described in the Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
1996,  on April 1, 1996 the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of
Equity Partners Ltd ("the Advisor") in exchange for 100,000 of its common stock.
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
and  dispositions in 1997 and 1996 had occurred at the beginning of 1996,  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 entered into these transactions on January 1, 1996.

Net income            $1,823,000                                  $1,574,000

 share equivalent          $0.20                                       $0.17


4.         Earnings per Share

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time,  the Company  will be  required to change the method it  currently
uses to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of stock  options will be excluded.  The impact of Statement 128 is not expected
to result in an increase in primary  earnings per share for the  quarters  ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully
diluted earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to be material.

5.         Stock Options

On February 25, 1997, the Company granted options to purchase  1,000,000  shares
of the  Company's  common  stock to certain  employees.  Fifty  percent of these
options  vest upon the  approval of the plan by  shareholders,  and 50% vest the
earlier of August 1998 or upon a change in control of the Company. These options
have a term of 10 years and an exercise price of $16 per share.

6.         Subsequent Events

On April 18, 1997, the Company acquired a 53,353 square foot building located in
Brookfield, Wisconsin for a total contract price of $4,950,000. A portion of the
purchase price was paid from the Company's bank line of credit.

On May 1, 1997,  the Company  retired three  mortgage  loans secured by its
Northbrook,  Illinois,  Wood Dale, Illinois, and 1011 Touhy Avenue, Des Plaines,
Illinois  properties.  These loans were  retired  with  amounts  drawn under the
Company's bank lines of credit.  The total  refinancing was  approximately  $7.4
million.

On May 12, 1997,  the Company  closed an initial  public  offering of shares of
its common stock.  The  Company  sold 5.7 million  shares of common  stock at
the price of $15.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately
$81.0 million, substantially  all of which was used to repay its bank lines of
credit and other long-term debt.

On May 13, 1997 the Company was notified by the  underwriters  of the  Company's
public offering  completed May 12, 1997, that the  underwriters  were exercising
their right to purchase an additional  855,000  shares of the  Company's  common
stock at the price of $15.50 per share.  The purchase of the additional  855,000
shares  closed May 15, 1997.  The net proceeds to the Company from such purchase
totaled  approximately  $12.4  million,  and will be used for the  repayment  of
certain  long-term debt, for the acquisition of additional  properties,  and for
working capital.

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 March 31, 1997, the Company owned and operated 27 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 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  months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to March 31, 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 March 31, 1997

In analyzing the  operating  results for the quarter ended March 31, 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 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 two investment properties in the first quarter of 1997. 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  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:
                                         Rental and      Real estate   Property
                                         reimbursement   taxes         operating

Increase due to inclusion
 of results of properties
 acquired in 1996                       $4,976,000       $817,000    $1,212,000

Increase due to 1997 acquisitions           93,000         17,000        21,000
Property dispositions in 1996             (512,000)       (29,000)     (171,000)
Improved operations in 1997
 compared to 1996                          495,000        104,000        62,000
                                         ----------       -------       -------

Total increase in 1997                  $5,052,000       $909,000    $1,124,000
                                         ==========      ========    ==========



Interest  expense  during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased by $663,000
as the Company had greater  amounts of long and short-term  debt  outstanding in
1997.  This debt was used to finance the  acquisition of properties  acquired in
1996 and 1997.

General and  administrative  expenses increased by $593,000 due to the increases
in the  amortization  of  deferred  compensation  ($76,000),  professional  fees
related to certain  employee matters  ($62,000),  increased legal and audit fees
($79,000),  implementation  of a performance based  compensation  system in 1997
compared to the outside advisory fees paid in 1996 ($180,000) and an increase in
the size of the Company ($196,000).

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  in 1997 by  $973,000  as the Company
incurred these expenses on 27 properties in 1997 versus 16 properties in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash  equivalents as of March 31, 1997 were  $1,219,000,  a decrease of
$469,000 as compared to December 31, 1996.  The decline is primarily  due to the
Company  continuing  use of cash and cash  equivalents  to invest in tenant  and
other capital improvements at its properties.

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.  The Company  completed an initial public offering of its common shares
in May of 1997. The net proceeds of approximately  $93.4 million were or will be
used to retire its bank lines of credit, certain long-term debt, for the

acquisition  of  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 March 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:

                                             1997                     1996
                                             ----                     ----
Net income                              $1,808,634                $ 971,412
Depreciation and amortization            1,554,985                  724,442
                                         ---------                  -------
FFO                                     $3,363,619               $1,695,854
