1.   Basis of
     Presentation    The accompanying unaudited 1998 consolidated financial
                     statements have been prepared in accordance with
                     generally accepted accounting principles for interim
                     financial information and with the 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. In the opinion of
                     management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
                     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
                     presentation have been included. The consolidated
                     balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been derived from
                     the audited consolidated financial statements at that
                     date. Operating results for the six months ended June
                     30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
                     that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
                     1998, or for any other interim period. For further
                     information, refer to the consolidated financial
                     statements and footnotes thereto included in the
                     Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
                     1997.

2.   Earnings Per
     Share           Earnings per share has been computed by dividing the
                     income by the weighted average number of common shares

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

Overview

The Company was established to continue to operate and expand the retail
property business of its Predecessors. The Company commenced its operations
on April 22, 1994 with the sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock in an
initial public offering. The net cash proceeds to the Company from the
completion of this offering were approximately $45.4 million, which were used
primarily to reduce outstanding indebtedness, pay stock issuance costs and
establish a working capital reserve. On May 21, 1997, the Company completed
an offering of 1,625,000 shares of common stock at $20.625 per share; on June
18, 1997 the underwriters exercised their overallotment option for an
additional 28,850 shares at the same per share price (collectively, "the 1997
Offering"). The net proceeds from the 1997 Offering of approximately $31.9
million were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's Credit
Facility.

The assets of the Company are held by, and all operations are conducted
through, Agree Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which
the Company is the sole general partner and held an 87.20% interest as of
June 30, 1998. The Company is operating so as to qualify as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes.

The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Agree Realty Corporation, including the respective notes
thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 to Six Months Ended June 30, 
1997

Rental income increased $320,000, or 4%, to $8,348,000 in 1998, compared to
$8,028,000 in 1997. The increase is primarily the result of the development
of two properties.

Operating cost reimbursements, which represent additional rent required by
substantially all of the Company's leases to cover the tenants' proportionate
share of the property operating expenses, increased $84,000, or 9%, to
$1,041,000 in 1998, compared to $957,000 in 1997. Operating cost
reimbursements increased due to the increase in real estate taxes and
property operating expenses from 1997 to 1998 as explained below.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management fees and other income remained relatively constant at $47,000 in
1998 versus $46,000 in 1997.

Real estate taxes increased $93,000, or 15%, to $724,000 in 1998 versus
$631,000 in 1997. The increase is the result of the addition of new
properties.

Property operating expense (shopping center maintenance, insurance and
utilities) decreased $4,000, or 1% to $524,000 in 1998 versus $529,000 in
1997. The decrease was the result of decreased snow removal costs of $34,000;
an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $46,000; and increase in
utility costs of $14,000 and a decrease in insurance costs of $30,000 in 1997
versus 1996.

1997 as a result of the acquisition of a ground lease for the free standing
property in Lawrence, Kansas.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $46,000, or 8%, to $547,000
in 1998 versus $593,000 in 1997. The decrease was primarily the result of
decreased directors' and officers' liability insurance of $13,000 and
decreased expenses in connection with the management of the Company's
properties of $33,000. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
rental income decreased from 7.4% for 1997 to 6.6% for 1998.

Depreciation and amortization increased $80,000, or 6%, to $1,466,000 in 1998
versus $1,386,000 in 1997. This increase was the result of the completion of
two new properties.

Interest expense decreased $740,000, or 23%, to $2,439,000 in 1997, from
$3,179,000 in 1997. The decrease in interest expense was the result of the
Company using the proceeds of the 1997 Offering to reduce the Company's
indebtedness.

The Company recognized income of $103,000 on the sale of a parcel of land in
1997. There were no land sales in 1998.

Development fee income increased $36,000, to $59,000 in 1998, from $23,000 in
1997. The above amount was not included in the Company's calculation of Funds
from Operations due to the non-recurring nature of this type of income.

Equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated entities decreased $6,000 to a
loss of ($5,000) in 1998 versus income of $1,000 in 1997 as a result of
additional expenses related to certain of the seven properties held in joint
ventures, in which the Company holds interests ranging from 8% to 20%.

The Company's income before minority interest increased $901,000 as a result
of the foregoing factors.

and acquisition of two properties.

Operating cost reimbursements increased $58,000, or 13%, to $516,000 in 1998,
compared to $458,000 in 1997. Operating cost reimbursements increased due to
the increase in real estate taxes and property operating expenses from 1997
to 1998 as explained below.

Management fees and other income remained relatively constant at $23,000 in
1998 and $20,000 in 1997.

Property operating expense (shopping center maintenance, insurance and
utilities) increased $58,000, or 30% to $250,000 in 1998 versus $192,000 in

an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $64,000; an increase in
utility costs of $4,000 and a decrease in insurance costs of $15,000 in 1998
versus 1997.

1997 as a result of the acquisition of a ground lease for the free standing
property in Lawrence, Kansas.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $28,000, or 9%, to $269,000
in 1998 versus $297,000 in 1997. This decrease was primarily the result of
decreases in expenses in connection with the management of the Company's
properties. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of rental
income decreased from 7.4% for 1997 to 6.4% for 1998.

with the completion of four joint venture properties. There was no
development fee income in 1998.

Equity in net loss of unconsolidated entities decreased $4,000 to $2,000 in

to certain of the seven properties held in joint ventures, in which the
Company holds interests ranging from 8% to 20%.

The Company's income before minority interest increased $286,000 as a result
of the foregoing factors.

Funds from Operations

Management considers funds from operations ("FFO") to be a supplemental
measure of the Company's operating performance. FFO is defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") to
mean net income (loss) before minority interest, computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs),
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. 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 net income as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management has included herein certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used,
statements which are not historical in nature including the words
"anticipate," "estimate," "should," "expect," "believe," "intend" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements are, by their nature, subject to certain risks and uncertainties.
Risks and other factors that might cause such a difference include, but are
not limited to, the effect of economic and market conditions; risks that the
Company's acquisition and development projects will fail to perform as
expected; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity
financing on favorable terms; the level and volatility of interest rates;
loss or bankruptcy of one or more of the Company's major retail tenants; and
failure of the Company's properties to generate additional income to offset
increases in operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal demands for liquidity are distributions to its
stockholders, debt repayment, development of new properties and future
property acquisitions.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company declared a quarterly
dividend of $.46 per share. The dividend was paid on July 16, 1998 to holders
of record on June 30, 1998.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of
$50,775,045 with a weighted average interest rate of 7.54%. Future scheduled
annual maturities of mortgages payable for the years ending June 30 are as
follows: 1999 - $8,111,544; 2000 - $933,709; 2001 - $1,007,666; 2002 -
$1,087,656; 2003 - $1,174,186. This mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt.

In addition, the Operating Partnership has in place a $50 million line of
Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") which is guaranteed by the Company.
The loan matures in August 2000 and can be extended by the Company for an
additional three years. Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest
within a range of one-month to six-month LIBOR plus 150 basis points to 213
basis points or the bank's prime rate less 50 basis points to plus 13 basis
points, at the option of the Company, based on certain factors such as debt
to property value and debt service coverage. The Credit Facility is used to
fund property acquisitions and development activities and is secured by most
of the Company's Properties which are not otherwise encumbered and properties
to be acquired or developed. As of June 30, 1998, $11,673,944 was outstanding
under the Credit Facility.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company also has in place a $5 million line of credit (the "Line of
Credit"), which matures September 1998, and which the Company expects to
renew for an additional 12-month period. The Line of Credit bears interest at
the bank's prime rate or 200 basis points in excess of the one-month LIBOR
rate, at the option of the Company. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to
provide working capital to the Company and fund land options and start-up
costs associated with new projects. As of June 30, 1998, $1,200,000 was
outstanding under the Line of Credit.

The Company's two wholly-owned subsidiaries have obtained construction
financing of approximately $6,850,000 to fund the development of two retail
properties. The notes require quarterly interest payments, based on a
weighted average interest rate based on LIBOR, computed by the lender. The
notes mature on October 16, 2002 and are secured by the underlying land and
buildings. As of June 30, 1998, $5,990,423 was outstanding under these notes.

The Company has received funding from an unaffiliated third party for the
construction of certain of its Properties. Advances under this agreement bear
no interest and are required to be repaid within sixty (60) days after the
date construction has been completed. The advances are secured by the
specific land and buildings being developed. As of June 30, 1998, $1,730,490
was outstanding under this arrangement.

In June 1998, the Company completed development of a property that added
14,000 square feet to the portfolio. The property is located in Chesterfield
Township, Michigan. The development of this retail project is expected to
have a positive effect on cash generated by operating activities and Funds
from Operations.

The Company has three development projects under construction that will add
an additional 53,000 square feet of retail space to the Company's portfolio.
The projects are expected to be completed during the third and fourth
quarters of 1998. Additional Company funding required for this project is
estimated to be $4,500,000 and will come from available construction
financing and the Credit Facility. Management expects the development of
these projects to have a positive effect on cash generated by operating
activities and Funds from Operations.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements, including
capital expenditures related to the leasing and improvement of the
Properties, through its cash flow provided by operations and the Line of
Credit. Management believes that adequate cash flow will be available to fund
the Company's operations and pay dividends in accordance with REIT
requirements. The Company may obtain additional funds for future development
or acquisitions through other borrowings or the issuance of additional shares
of capital stock. The Company intends to incur additional debt in a manner
consistent with its policy of maintaining a ratio of total debt (including
construction and acquisition financing) to total market capitalization of 65%
or less.

The Company plans to begin construction of additional pre-leased developments
and may acquire additional properties, which will initially be financed by
the Credit Facility and Line of Credit. Management intends to periodically
refinance short-term construction and acquisition financing with long-term
debt and/or equity. Upon completion of refinancing, the Company intends to
lower the ratio of total debt to market capitalization to 50% or less.
Nevertheless, the Company may operate with debt levels or ratios which are in
excess of 50% for extended periods of time prior to such refinancing.

Year 2000 Costs

The Company, like most owners of computer software, will be required to
modify certain portions of its software so that it will function properly in
the year 2000. Maintenance or modification costs will be expensed as
incurred, while the costs of any new software will be capitalized and
amortized over the software's useful life. Management believes these "year
2000" costs will be immaterial.

Inflation

The Company's leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the
adverse impact of inflation on net income. These provisions include clauses
enabling the Company to pass through to tenants certain operating costs,
including real estate taxes, common area maintenance, utilities and
insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and
operating expenses resulting from inflation. Certain of the Company's leases
contain clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rents based on
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and, in
certain cases, escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates
during the terms of the leases. In addition, expiring tenant leases permit
the Company to seek increased rents upon re-lease at market rates if rents
are below the then existing market rates.
