                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Glimcher Realty Trust, (the "Company" or "GRT"), Glimcher Properties Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") (88.8% owned by GRT at September 30,
1998 and 90.1% at December 31, 1997), six Delaware limited partnerships
(Glimcher Holdings Limited Partnership, Glimcher Centers Limited Partnership,
Grand Central Limited Partnership, Glimcher York Associates Limited Partnership,
Glimcher University Mall Limited Partnership and Montgomery Mall Associates
Limited Partnership), one Ohio limited partnership (Morgantown Mall Associates
Limited Partnership) and three Delaware limited liability companies (Glimcher
Northtown Venture, LLC, Weberstown Mall, LLC and Glimcher Lloyd Venture, LLC),
all of which are owned directly or indirectly by GRT. The Operating Partnership
has an investment in several joint ventures and one other corporation which are
accounted for under the equity method. All significant inter-entity 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 nine months ended September 30, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

         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 GRT's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

         During the second quarter of 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 98-9 relating to the recognition of
contingent rental income in interim periods. Under EITF 98-9 the Company is
required to recognize percentage rents in interim periods only after the
contingent sales level is exceeded rather than estimating and accruing

         The Series A-1 and Series D convertible preferred shares of beneficial
interest include certain conversion features that could potentially dilute EPS
in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
to do so would have been antidilutive (based on period end share prices) for the
periods presented.

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 statements which may be deemed to be
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") to purchase additional preferred
shares or to provide permanent financing, particularly in light of certain
adverse factors disclosed recently about Nomura's financial condition;
development risks, including lack of satisfactory financing, construction and
lease-up delays and cost overruns; the level and volatility of interest rates;
the financial stability of tenants within the retail industry; the rate of
revenue increases versus expense increases; 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") addressed the timing of income
recognition for percentage rents by a lessor in EITF 98-9, Accounting for
Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods. This issue provides that a lessor
should defer recognition of contingent rental income in interim periods until
specified targets that trigger the contingent rent are met. The EITF concluded
that this issue may be applied on a prospective basis. The effect of this issue
was the deferral of approximately $600,000 ($0.03 per diluted share) of
percentage rents from the second quarter and approximately $500,000 ($0.02 per
diluted share) of percentage rents from the third quarter until the fourth
quarter of 1998. The Company elected not to restate the 1997 quarterly results
or the first quarter of 1998.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997

REVENUES

         Total revenues increased 35.2%, or $12.1 million, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. Of the $12.1 million increase, $11.3 million was the
result of increased revenues at the malls, $550,000 was the result of increased
revenues at the community centers, $350,000 was the result of decreased revenues
from dispositions and $600,000 was related to other revenue increases.

Minimum rents

         Minimum rents increased 27.2%, or $7.3 million, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998.

Percentage rents

         After reflecting the adoption of EITF 98-9 as described above,
percentage rents decreased $230,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998. Of this decrease, $40,000 was from the malls, $180,000 was from the
community centers, and $10,000 was from dispositions. The overall decrease in
the third quarter of 1998 was a result of the prospective adoption of a change
in accounting for percentage rents as required by EITF 98-9, without a
restatement of the prior year amounts.

Tenant recoveries

         Tenant recoveries reflect a net increase of 67.4% or $4.0 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Other revenues

increases in management fee revenues of $570,000 and an increase of $430,000 in
temporary tenant income at the malls.

OPERATING EXPENSES

         Total operating expenses increased 54.0%, or $4.0 million, for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. Recoverable operating expenses increased
$4.0 million, the provision for credit losses decreased $200,000 and other

Provision for credit losses

         The provision for credit losses was approximately $420,000 and

1998, compared to 1.8% of tenant revenues for the three months ended September
30, 1997.

Depreciation and amortization

         The $1.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization consists
primarily of an increase of $1.5 million from mall acquisitions, an increase of
$430,000 in the core portfolio properties, offset with a decrease of $60,000
from dispositions.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

         General and administrative expense was $2.5 million and represented
5.3% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared
to $2.0 million and 5.7% of total revenues for the corresponding period in 1997.
The increase is primarily due to an increase in corporate associates in 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE/CAPITALIZED INTEREST

         Interest expense increased 14.6%, or $1.6 million, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. The summary below identifies the increase by its
various components (dollars in thousands).

decrease was a result of the adoption of a change in accounting for percentage
rents as required by EITF 98-9, without a restatement of the prior year amounts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

         The Company has several active development, renovation and expansion
projects and will continue to secure other projects in these areas. Certain
development projects relate to the commitment 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.

         On April 29, 1998, the Company elected to extend its credit facility to
July 31, 1999. In June 1998, the Company, in connection with the Northtown Mall
acquisition, secured a $40.0 million mortgage note payable which matures on
August 30, 2001 and bears interest at Libor plus 125 points. In August 1998, the
Company entered into a SWAP agreement which fixed the Libor rate at 5.662% per
annum. In July 1998, the Company, in connection with the Montgomery Mall
acquisition, secured a $47.8 million mortgage note payable which matures in
August 2028 and bears interest at 6.740% per annum. In August 1998, the Company,
in connection with the Weberstown Mall acquisition, assumed the existing
mortgage of $11.6 million which matures in November 2016 and bears interest at
8.800% per annum. Also in August 1998, the Company refinanced its existing $50.2
million mortgage note payable on Morgantown Mall, with a new $58.4 million
mortgage note payable which matures in September 2028 and bears interest at

Center Mall acquisition, secured a $130.0 million mortgage note payable which
matures on October 2001 and bears interest at Libor plus 125 basis points. The
Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement for this loan which
capped Libor at 7.750% per annum. Additionally, the Company entered into two
short term note payable agreements of $25.0 million, of which $10.0 million has
a maturity date of December 15, 1998, with an extension option to March 15, 1999
and $15.0 million has a maturity date of February, 1999.

<PAGE>   17
         Management anticipates that the funds available under its credit
facility, its construction financing, long-term mortgage debt, venture structure
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 September 30, 1998, the Company's debt to total market
capitalization was 59.1%, 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 nine months ended
September 30, 1998, was $56.0 million versus $40.9 million for the corresponding
period of 1997. Net income adjusted for non-cash items accounted for a $13.7
million increase, while changes in operating assets and liabilities accounted
for a $1.4 million increase.

         Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, was $385.1 million, and reflects additional direct
investments in real estate assets, including the acquisition of Northtown Mall
for approximately $54.0 million, Montgomery Mall for $70.0 million and Lloyd
Center Mall for $168.0 million and additional indirect investments in real
estate through investments in unconsolidated entities of $67.2 million.

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $333.4 million. Cash was provided by additional
borrowings under the credit facility of $87.4 million and issuance of mortgage
and notes payable of $356.5 million. Cash was used to fund distributions of
$49.5 million and principal payments on mortgage and notes payable of $61.4
million.

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 generally accepted
accounting principles ("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 and nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS
No. 131 establishes standards for publicly-held business enterprises to report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that these enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders. The Company plans to adopt
SFAS No. 131 in its 1998 annual report on Form 10-K.

         The Company recognizes that Year 2000 issues may have an impact on its
business, operations and financial condition. The Company has completed an
assessment of its Year 2000 readiness with respect to all of its information
technology ("IT") systems and is currently addressing the reliability and
condition of its non-IT systems. These assessments will continue to be updated
as additional information becomes available and as new concerns are identified.

         The Company's IT systems generally consist of file servers, operating
systems, application programs and workstations that utilize purchased systems.
The Company has evaluated the Year 2000 compliance status of each vendor and
believes that its existing systems or planned upgrades during 1998 will be Year
2000 compliant. Implementation of planned upgrades will not result in
significant additional cost to the Company.

         The Company's non-IT systems which may result in Year 2000 issues are
facility related and encompass areas such as HVAC systems, elevators, security,
lighting, telecommunications, electrical, plumbing, fire and sprinkler controls.
The Company is currently addressing the potential impact of Year 2000 in these
areas and has not identified any instances where Year 2000 issues will require
material costs to repair or replace any of these systems.

         The significant risks to the Company in the event that Year 2000 issues
are not identified and corrected are that IT system problems could cause delays
or errors in processing financial and operation information and non-IT system
problems could result in certain facilities being unavailable which could limit
the efficient operation of the Company's properties.

                                       20

         While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address
its Year 2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems and operations rely will be converted
on a timely basis and will not have a material effect on the Company.

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 trends and in the bankruptcies and continued restructuring of several
prominent retail organizations. Continuation of these trends could impact future
earnings performance.

         Inflation has remained relatively low during the past three years and
has had a minimal impact on the Company's Properties. Many tenants' leases
contain provisions designed to lessen the impact of inflation. Such provisions
include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.
In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may
enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base
and/or percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the
then-existing market rate. Substantially all of the leases, other than those for
anchors, require the tenants to pay a proportionate share of common area
maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's
exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

         However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of the Company's
other operating items. Interest expense and general and administrative expenses
may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could increase
at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent increases,
inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in these
leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.
