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


1.  Basis of
    Presentation      The accompanying unaudited 1999 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, 1998 has been derived
                      from the audited consolidated financial statements at
                      that date. Operating results for the three months ended
                      March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
                      results that may be expected for the year ending
                      December 31, 1999, 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, 1998.

2.  Earnings Per
    Share             Earnings per share has been computed by dividing the
                      income by the weighted average number of common shares
                      outstanding. The per share amounts reflected in the
                      consolidated statements of income are presented in
                      accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
                      Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per Share"; the
                      amounts of the Company's "basic" and "diluted" earnings
                      per share (as defined in SFAS No. 128) are the same.

3.  Comprehensive
    Income            The amounts of the Company's net and comprehensive
                      income (as defined in SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
                      Comprehensive Income") are the same.

4.  Reclassification  Certain reclassifications were made to the December 31,
                      1998 balance sheet in order to conform with the
                      presentation used as of March 31, 1999.

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 86.63% interest as of
March 31, 1999. 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 Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 to Three Months Ended March
31, 1998

Rental income increased $546,000, or 13%, to $4,716,000 in 1999, compared to
$4,170,000 in 1998. The increase was the result of the development and
acquisition of five Properties in 1998.

Operating cost reimbursement, which represents additional rent required by
substantially all of the Company's leases to cover the tenants' proportionate
share of real estate taxes and property operating expenses, increased
$131,000, or 25%, to $656,000 in 1999, compared to $525,000 in 1998.
Operating cost reimbursement increased due to the increase in real estate
taxes and property operating expenses from 1998 to 1999, as explained below.

Management fees and other income decreased $15,000, or 62%, to $9,000 in
1999, compared to $24,000 in 1998. The decrease was the result of a reduction
in management fees due to the Company's acquisition of a property it
previously managed.

Real estate taxes increased $61,000, or 17%, to $422,000 in 1999 compared to
$361,000 in 1998. The increase is the result of the addition of new
properties.


                                     10

Property operating expenses (shopping center maintenance, insurance and
utilities) increased $171,000, or 62%, to $446,000 in 1999 compared $275,000
in 1998. The increase was the result of increased snow removal costs of
$128,000 and an increase in shopping center maintenance costs of $43,000 in
1999 versus 1998.

Land lease payments remained relatively constant at $137,000 in 1999 compared
to $142,000 in 1998.

General and administrative expenses increased $38,000, or 14%, to $316,000 in
1999 compared to $278,000 in 1998. The increase was primarily the result of
an increase in compensation-related expenses. General and administrative
expenses as a percentage of rental income remained constant at 6.7% for 1999
and 1998.

Depreciation and amortization increased $122,000, or 17%, to $849,000 in 1999
compared to $727,000 in 1998. The increase was the result of the development
and acquisition of five properties in 1998.

Interest expense increased $146,000, or 12%, to $1,387,000 in 1999, from
$1,241,000 in 1998. The increase in interest expense was the result of the
Company's additional borrowing to finance its acquisition and development
projects.

The Company received development fee income of $60,000 in 1998. There was no
development fee income in 1999. 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 increased $10,000 to
$7,000 in 1999 compared to ($3,000) in 1998 as a result of decreased
depreciation expense in 1999 related to certain of the Joint Venture
Properties in which the Company holds interests ranging from 8% to 20%.

The Company's income before minority interest increased $78,000 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 Investments Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") to
mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization,
and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which the REIT holds an
interest. 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 tables illustrate the calculation of FFO for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:

FFO increased $262,000, or 10%, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, to
$2,891,000. The increase in FFO is primarily the result of the acquisition
and development of five properties in 1998.

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 March 31, 1999, the Company declared a quarterly
dividend of $.46 per share. The dividend was paid on April 15, 1999 to
holders of record on March 31, 1999.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of
$41,272,896 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.90%. Future scheduled
annual maturities of mortgages payable for the years ending March 31 are as
follows: 2000 - $802,000; 2001 - $936,000; 2002 - $1,003,000; 2003 -
$1,076,000; 2004 - $1,154,000. This mortgage debt is all fixed rate debt.

On April 1, 1999 the Company obtained replacement financing for a mortgage on
its Lakeland, Florida property. The mortgage is in the amount of $7,700,000,
bears interest at 7.00%, and has a term of fourteen years, with a rate review
at the end of the seventh year. The note requires principle and interest
payments based on an amortization period of 18.5 years.

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 March 31, 1999, $35,158,232 was
outstanding under the Credit Facility.

The Company also has in place a $5 million line of credit (the "Line of
Credit"), which matures October 19, 1999, 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 less 50 basis points or 175 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 March 31,
1999, $900,000 was outstanding under the Line of Credit.

The Company's two wholly-owned subsidiaries have obtained construction
financing of approximately $7,300,000 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 March 31, 1999, $7,184,543 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 March 31, 1999, $1,730,490
was outstanding under this arrangement.

The Company has one development project under construction that will add an
additional 14,000 square feet of retail space to the Company's portfolio. The
project is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1999.
Additional Company funding required for this project is estimated to be
$540,000 and will come from the Credit Facility. Management expects the
development of this project 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 Compliance

The Company's information system consists of a three station Windows NT
network system. All accounting and property management functions are
processed via Timberline Software, a nationally recognized provider of
software to the real estate industry. The Company is currently assessing its
significant business relationships with external parties, including its major
tenants, to determine if their failure to be Year 2000 compliant would have a
material adverse effect upon the Company. In the event that any of the
Company's significant tenants, vendors, banks or others with whom it does
business do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the
Company's operations may be affected. To date, nothing has come to the
attention of management that leads it to conclude that the likelihood of such
adverse effect reasonably exists. However, because the complexities involved,
management cannot provide assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not have an
impact on the Company's operations.

The Company has completed a review of its information systems and believes
its business technologies are fully compliant with any issues that may arise
as a result of Year 2000 issues

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.
