                              GLIMCHER REALTY TRUST

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)


1.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Glimcher
Realty Trust (the "Company" or "GRT"), Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership
(the "Operating Partnership")(89.4% owned by GRT as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996), four Delaware limited partnerships (Glimcher Holdings
Limited Partnership, Glimcher Centers Limited Partnership, Grand Central Limited
Partnership, and Glimcher York Associates Limited Partnership) and one Ohio
limited partnership (Morgantown Mall Associates Limited Partnership), all of
which are wholly-owned, directly or indirectly by GRT. The Operating Partnership
has an investment in two corporate ventures and one other corporation which are
accounted for under the equity method. All significant inter-company balances
and transactions have been eliminated.

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the aforementioned financial statements for the interim periods.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997.

         The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the notes to the consolidated financial statements, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in
Glimcher Realty Trust's Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 1996.

Supplemental disclosure of non-cash financing and investing activities:

         The Company accrued accounts payable of $4,439 and $1,122 for real
estate improvements as of March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, respectively.

         The Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired one community
shopping center during the three months ended March 31, 1996. The purchase price
of $12,553 included $5,167 in cash and the assumption of net liabilities and
mortgage debt of $7,386.

2.       INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

         Investments in unconsolidated entities consist of preferred stock and
non-voting common stock of Glimcher Development Corporation ("GDC"), a 45.0%
interest in Great Plains Metro Mall L.L.C. ("Great Plains") and a 33.3% interest
in Johnson City Venture L.L.C.

         The Company owns preferred and common stock in GDC entitling it to
approximately 95.0% of the net profits of GDC and has the ability to exercise
significant influence but not voting control with respect to GDC. The Company is
accounting for its investment in GDC using the equity method of accounting.

         The net income (loss) for each unconsolidated entity is allocated in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable operating agreements. The
allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest
held by each member under the terms of these agreements.

           (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)


         All mortgage notes payable are collateralized by certain properties
held within the respective partnerships. The loan agreement for Grand Central
Limited Partnership, Glimcher Holdings Limited Partnership and Glimcher Centers
Limited Partnership contains financial covenants regarding minimum net operating
income and coverage ratios.

4.       NOTES PAYABLE

         At March 31, 1997, the Company maintained a revolving line of credit
(the "Credit Facility") with two banks, as agents, of $175,000 which is due in
June 1998. All borrowings under the Credit Facility are unsecured and bear
interest at variable rates ranging from LIBOR plus 150 basis points to LIBOR
plus 250 basis points. At March 31, 1997, the Credit Facility interest rate was
LIBOR plus 225 basis points (7.938%).

5.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the
financial statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.

6.       ACCOUNTING CHANGE

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" 
("FAS 128"). FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods 
ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Early adoption is 
not permitted and the statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS 
date presented after the effective date.

         The Company will adopt FAS 128 effective with its 1997 year end. The 
impact of FAS 128 on GRT Earnings Per Share is not expected to be material.

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

Overview

           The following should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements of Glimcher Realty Trust (the "Company" or
"GRT") including the respective notes thereto, all of which are included in this
Form 10-Q.

           This Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information
publicly disseminated by GRT, contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements
are based on assumptions and expectations which may not be realized and are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted
with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and
actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ from the results discussed
in the forward-looking statements. Risks and other factors that might cause
differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to,
the effect of economic and market conditions; failure to consummate financing
and venture arrangements, including the failure of Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation ("Nomura") (as discussed below under Liquidity and Capital
Resources) to provide permanent financing, development risks, including lack of
satisfactory financing, construction and lease-up delays and cost overruns; the
level and volatility of interest rates; financial stability of tenants within
the retail industry; the rate of revenue increases versus expense increases; the
ability of Glimcher Development Corporation ("GDC"), GRT's newly formed
non-qualified real estate investment trust subsidiary, to generate fees from
future developments, as well as other risks listed from time to time in this
Form 10-Q and in GRT's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

       The same center decreases in recoveries reflect the lower first quarter
1997 expenses discussed below.

Other revenues

         The $330,000 increase in other revenues was primarily the result of an
increase in temporary tenant revenues at the Mall Properties, and the management
fee revenue the Company receives for the management of the ventures it
participates in.

Operating Expenses

         Total operating expenses increased 4.6%, or $310,000, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Recoverable expenses increased $190,000 and the
provision for credit losses increased $120,000.

</TABLE>

         The decline in the same center expenses at the malls reflect a net
$300,000 reduction in real estate taxes, a $100,000 reduction in other operating
expenses and an $80,000 decrease in snow removal costs compared to the prior
year. Same center community center expenses reflected a net increase in real
estate taxes of $220,000 offset by a decrease of $240,000 in snow removal costs.

Provision for credit losses

         The provision for credit losses was $630,000 and represented 1.8% of
total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1.9% of
total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Depreciation and amortization

         The $1.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization was
primarily the result of an increase of $1.1 million from acquisitions
(principally the acquisition of 22 properties from Retail Property Investors,
Inc. on October 17, 1996 (the "RPI transaction")); $100,000 from the opening at
three new community center developments since the end of 1996 and an increase of
$300,000 in the core portfolio properties.

General and administrative

         Beginning in the second quarter of 1996, the Company increased its
staff levels to support the significant RPI acquisition and expanded
developments and construction activities. Accordingly, general and
administrative expense for the first quarter of 1997 is significantly higher
than the first quarter of 1996 but is comparable to the level of general and
administrative expense incurred in the fourth quarter of 1996. In addition, the
Company formed GDC on October 16, 1996, and transferred 51 employees in the
construction, development, leasing and legal departments to GDC. The GDC staff
provide services for a fee, to the Company, to ventures in which the Company has
an ownership interest and to third parties. GDC, an unconsolidated non-qualified
REIT subsidiary, is permitted to earn non-qualified revenues but the income from
such services will be subject to federal income taxes. The Company will also
receive management fees for the services provided by its operations staff to
ventures.

         As a result, portions of general and administrative expense are now
reflected both in the income statement of the Company and GDC:

</TABLE>

         The primary reason for the increase in outstanding debt from March 31,
1996 to March 31, 1997 was the RPI Transaction in October, 1996. The $197.0
million purchase was financed through loan assumptions and increased borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

         The Company has several active development, renovation and expansion
projects and will continue to be active in these areas. Future development
projects being considered include those relating to the commitment 

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

between the Company and Nomura, pursuant to which Nomura has agreed, subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions, to provide equity to the Company and
permanent debt financing for certain of the Company's developments. Management
anticipates that the funds available under its revolving line of credit (the
"Credit Facility") and the Company's plan to utilize construction financing,
long-term mortgage debt and the venture structure to raise equity and financing
for acquisitions and developments and the issuance of preferred and common stock
will provide sufficient capital resources to carry out the Company's business
strategy relative to the acquisitions, renovations, expansions and developments
discussed herein.

         At March 31, 1997 the Company's debt to total market capitalization was
53.8% which is consistent with the current policy of the Company to maintain
this ratio between 40.0% and 60.0%.

         Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 was $9.9 million for the first quarter of 1997 versus $9.5
million for the corresponding quarter of 1996. The increase reflects additional
net income of $520,000, and an increase in depreciation and amortization offset
by an increase in receivables.

         Net cash used in investment activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $8.4 million, and reflects additional investments in real estate
assets and unconsolidated entities.

         Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $4.1 million. Cash was provided by additional borrowings of $8.6
million primarily used to fund the increase in real estate investments. Cash was
used to fund distributions of $12.8 million and principal payments of $810,000.

RENOVATION, EXPANSION, DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

         The Company continues to be very active in its renovation, expansion,
development and acquisition activities. Its business strategy is to set in place
activities that will allow the Company's assets and cash flow to grow.

Renovation and Expansion Activity
- ---------------------------------

Grand Central Mall

         The renovation and expansion of this Mall Property located in
Parkersburg, West Virginia continues and will increase this property's gross
leasable area ("GLA") to 887,000 square feet upon its completion. The addition
of a food court and the expansion of the existing cinema to a 37,000 square foot
12-screen cinema were completed and opened in 1996. Additional expansion of the
Mall Property will include an 83,000 square foot Proffitt's which is projected
to open in March 1998. The estimated cost of the Proffitt's expansion is $5.0
million of which $1.8 million has been expended at March 31, 1997.

Indian Mound Mall

          The expansion of this Mall Property located in Newark/Heath, Ohio,
will add approximately 120,000 square feet and increase this property's GLA to
539,000 square feet. The expansion includes the addition of a 92,000 square foot
Sears, expanding the current cinema from 18,000 square feet to 42,000 square
feet and the addition of 6,000 square feet of small shops. The opening of the
new retail space is projected for the fall of 1997. The estimated cost of the
expansion is $3.9 million of which $1.9 million has been expended at March 31,
1997.

Development Activity
- --------------------

Georgesville Square

         This development is a Community Shopping Center containing 232,000
square feet of GLA located in Columbus, Ohio. The center will be anchored by a
132,000 square foot Lowe's and a 63,000 square foot Kroger, with the balance of
the GLA in small shops. Lowe's opened in October 1996, with Kroger and the small
shops 

                                       14

<PAGE>   15


expected to open in the second quarter of 1997. The estimated cost of the
development is $18.2 million, of which $16.9 million is being financed from a
construction loan which bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points (7.375% at
March 31, 1997) and matures October 1, 1999, subject to two extensions of six
months each. As of March 31, 1997, expended dollars totaled $17.1 million of
which $15.4 million was drawn under the construction loan. Additionally, the
Company announced the construction of a 70,000 square foot 16-screen cinema on
one of the center's outparcel lots which is scheduled to open in early 1998. The
Company has also expended an additional $3.4 million relating to land costs for
future phases of this development.


Meadowview Square

         This development is a Community Shopping Center containing 151,000
square feet of GLA located in Kent/Ravenna, Ohio. The center is anchored by a
126,000 square foot Wal-Mart with the balance of the space in small shops.
Wal-Mart opened in January 1997 and the small shops will open later in 1997. The
estimated cost of the development is $11.1 million, of which $9.8 million is
being financed from a construction loan which bears interest at LIBOR plus 200
basis points (7.375% at March 31, 1997) and matures November 1, 1999 subject to
two extensions of six months each. As of March 31, 1997, expended dollars
totaled $8.7 million of which $8.3 million was drawn under the construction
loan. The Company has also expended an additional $1.7 million relating to land
costs for future phases of this development.


The Great Mall of the Great Plains

         Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership")
maintains a 45.0% interest in Great Plains Metro Mall L.L.C. which owns The
Great Mall of the Great Plains, a single level enclosed super-regional, value
and entertainment oriented mall totaling approximately 850,000 square feet of
GLA located in Olathe, Kansas (Kansas City, Kansas metropolitan area). The cost
of the project is being financed through the member contributions of investors
and a construction loan of $74.1 million. The property will consist of 10
anchors including a 16-screen cinema, approximately 150 small shop tenants and
20 food court and kiosk units. The grand opening of the Mall Property is
scheduled for August 1997.

Acquisition Activity
- --------------------

         The Company continues to pursue strategic acquisitions which will
complement and enhance its existing portfolio. In April, the Company announced
that the Operating Partnership entered into a contract for the purchase of the
Dayton Mall in Dayton, Ohio. Due diligence for the 1.3 million square foot mall
is currently under way and the acquisition is expected to be completed in the
second quarter of 1997.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         Management considers funds from operations ("FFO") to be a supplemental
measure of the Company's operating performance. FFO does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure
of liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of FFO for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

</TABLE>


         FFO increased 12.9%, or $1.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The increase was the result of improved property net operating income
of $6.8 million partially offset by increased interest expense of $3.9 million,
the loss from unconsolidated entities of $400,000, preferred stock dividends of
$720,000 and increased general and administrative expense of $260,000.

OTHER

         The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the
fourth quarter during the holiday season, when tenant occupancy and retail sales
are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve most
of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of the
above, earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

         The retail industry has experienced some difficulty, which is reflected
in sales and occupancy trends and in bankruptcies and restructuring of some
prominent retail organizations. Continuation of these trends could impact future
earnings performance.
