                         Notes to Financial Statements

                              September 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)


Readers  of  this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to  the  Company's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1996, which are
included in the Company's 1996  Annual  Report, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate  those  contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Real Estate Corporation (the  "Company")  was  formed on May 12, 1994 to
invest in neighborhood retail  centers  located  within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its  headquarters  in  Oak  Brook,  Illinois.    The Company may also
acquire  single-user  retail  properties  in  locations  throughout  the United
States, certain of which may be  sale and leaseback transactions, net leased to
creditworthy  tenants.    Inland  Real  Estate  Advisory  Services,  Inc.  (the
"Advisor"), an Affiliate of the  Company,  is  the  advisor to the Company.  On
October 14, 1994, the Company commenced  an  initial public offering, on a best
efforts basis, ("Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ("Shares").  As
of July 24,  1996,  the  Company  had  received  subscriptions  for  a total of
5,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the  initial  Offering.  On July 24, 1996,
the Company commenced an offering of an additional 10,000,000 Shares, on a best
efforts basis, (the "Second Offering").   As  of July 10, 1997, the Company had
received subscriptions for a total of 10,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the
Second Offering.  On July  14,  1997,  the  Company commenced an offering of an
additional 20,000,000 Shares, on a  best efforts basis, (the "Third Offering").
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of
3,732,611 Shares  from  the  Third  Offering.    In  addition,  the Company has
distributed 529,560  Shares  through  the  Company's  Distribution Reinvestment
Program.  As a  result,  Gross  Offering  Proceeds,  total $191,185,844, net of
Shares repurchased through the Share  Repurchase  Program.  As of September 30,
1997, the Company has  repurchased  36,199  Shares through the Share Repurchase
Program.

The Company qualified as  a  real  estate  investment  trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of  1986,  as  amended,  for  federal income tax purposes
commencing with the tax  year  ending  December  31,  1995.   Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT, the  Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent it  distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders.  If the Company fails to  qualify  as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject  to  federal  income  tax  on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates.  Even  if  the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (continued)

                              September 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)


The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly  liquid  investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be  cash  equivalents and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. 

Restricted cash at September 30, 1997  includes $835,279 held in escrow for the
principal payments on the Aurora  Commons  mortgage payable and $44,677 held in
escrow by the mortgagee for the payment of real estate taxes at Aurora Commons.
Restricted cash at September  30,  1997  also  includes amounts held as vacancy
escrows on Cobblers Crossing, Mallard  Crossing and Shorecrest Shopping Center.
Such amounts will be added to the  basis of the property as tenant improvements
are completed.  

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.  121  requires the Company to
record an impairment loss on  its  property  to be held for investment whenever
its carrying value  cannot  be  fully  recovered through estimated undiscounted
future cash flows from their operations and sale.  The amount of the impairment
loss to be recognized would  be  the difference between the property's carrying
value and the property's estimated fair  value.   As of September 30, 1997, the
Company has not recognized any such impairments on its properties.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are  based  upon  estimated  useful  lives  of  30  years.  Tenant
improvements will be depreciated over the related lease period.

Loan fees are amortized on a straight  line  basis over the life of the related
loans.

Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.

Offering costs are offset against  the Stockholders' equity accounts.  Offering
costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over the term of each
lease.  The difference between  rental  income  earned on a straight-line basis
and the cash rent due under the  provisions of the lease agreements is recorded
as deferred rent receivable.

(2) Transactions with Affiliates

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
Offering.  Such costs  to  Affiliates  incurred  relating  to the offering were
$723,250  and  $692,248  as  of  September  30,  1997  and  December  31, 1996,
respectively, of which $3,611 and $120,269 were unpaid as of September 30, 1997
and December 31, 1996, respectively.   In addition, an Affiliate of the Advisor
serves as dealer manager of  the  offering  and  is entitled to receive selling
commissions, a marketing contribution and a due diligence expense allowance fee
from the Company in connection with  the  offering.  Such amounts incurred were
$17,827,968 and $7,403,965 as  of  September  30,  1997  and December 31, 1996,
respectively, of which $833,666  and  $270,365  was  unpaid as of September 30,
1997  and  December  31,  1996,  respectively.    As  of  September  30,  1997,
approximately $14,959,000 of these commissions had been passed through from the
Affiliate to unaffiliated soliciting broker/dealers.

As of September 30, 1997, the  Company had incurred $22,276,487 of organization
and offering costs to Affiliates and  non-affiliates.  Pursuant to the terms of
the offering,  the  Advisor  is  required  to  pay  organizational and offering
expenses (excluding sales commissions,  the  marketing contribution and the due
diligence expense allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the
Offering (the  "Gross  Offering  Proceeds")  or  all  organization and offering
expenses (including selling  commissions)  which  together  exceed 15% of gross
offering proceeds.  As of the  completion  of the initial and second Offerings,
organizational  and  offering  expenses  did   not   exceed  the  5.5%  or  15%
limitations.  As of September  30,  1997,  organizational and offering costs of
the Third Offering did not exceed  the  5.5%  and 15% limitations.  The Company
anticipates that these costs will  not exceed these limitations upon completion
of the  offerings,  however,  any  excess  amounts  will  be  reimbursed by the
Advisor.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
administration of  the  Company.    Such  costs  are  included  in professional
services to Affiliates, general  and  administrative expenses to Affiliates and
acquisition costs expensed, of  which  $4,343  remained unpaid at September 30,
1997.

As of September 30, 1997, the  Advisor  has contributed $200,000 to the capital
of the Company for which it received 20,000 Shares.

The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets, paid  quarterly.   For any year in which the
Company qualifies as a REIT, the  Advisor  must  reimburse the Company:  (i) to
the extent that the Advisor Asset  Management Fee plus Other Operating Expenses
paid during the  previous  calendar  year  exceed  2%  of the Company's Average
Invested Assets for the calendar year  or  25%  of the Company's Net Income for
that calendar year; and (ii) to  the extent that Stockholders have not received
an annual Distribution equal to or greater than the 8% Current Return.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company has incurred $940,159 of such
fees, of which $740,159 remains unpaid at September 30, 1997.

An Affiliate of the Advisor is entitled to receive Property Management Fees for
management and  leasing  services.    The  Company  incurred  and paid Property
Management Fees of $766,259 and  $139,597  for  the nine months ended September

(3) Stock Option and Dealer Warrant Plan

The Company adopted an  Independent  Director  Stock  Option Plan which granted
each Independent Director an option to  acquire  3,000 Shares as of October 19,
1994 and an additional  500  Shares  on  the  date of each annual stockholders'
meeting commencing with the annual meeting  in 1995 if the Independent Director
is a member of the  Board  on  such  date.    The options for the initial 3,000
Shares granted shall be exercisable  as  follows:  1,000  Shares on the date of
grant and 1,000 Shares on  each  of  the  first and second anniversaries of the
date  of  grant.    The  succeeding  options  are  exercisable  on  the  second
anniversary of the date of grant.

In addition to  sales  commissions,  Soliciting  Dealers  will also receive one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for  each  40  Shares  sold by such Soliciting Dealer
during the offerings, subject to state and federal securities laws.  The holder
of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be  entitled to purchase one Share from the
Company at a price of $12 during the period commencing with the first date upon
which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants  are  issued  and ending upon the first to
occur of: (i) October 14, 1999 or (ii) the closing date of a secondary offering
of the Shares by  the  Company.    Notwithstanding  the foregoing no Soliciting
Dealer Warrant will be exercisable  until  one  year from the date of issuance.
As of December 31, 1996, none of these warrants were exercised.

(4) Investment Properties (continued)

(A) The initial cost to the Company,  represents the original purchase price of
    the property, including amounts  incurred  subsequent to acquisition, which
    were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.

(B) Adjustments  to  basis  includes  additions  to  investment  properties and
    payments received  under  master  lease  agreements.    As  part of several
    purchases, the Company will receive  rent  under master lease agreements on
    the spaces currently vacant for  periods  ranging  from one to two years or
    until the spaces  are  leased.    Generally  Accepted Accounting Principles
    ("GAAP") require that as these payments are received, they be recorded as a
    reduction in the purchase  price  of  the  properties rather than as rental
    income.  The cumulative amount  of  such payments was $867,382 and $570,694
    as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. (Note 5)


(5) Operating Leases


As part of the purchases of several of the properties, the Company will receive
rent under master  lease  agreements  on  spaces  currently  vacant for periods
ranging from one to two years or  until the spaces are leased and tenants begin
paying rent.  GAAP requires  the  Company  to  reduce the purchase price of the
properties as these payments are  received,  rather than record the payments as
rental income.

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
GAAP requires the Company to record  rental  income for the period of occupancy
using the effective monthly rent,  which  is  the  average monthly rent for the
entire period of occupancy  during  the  term  of  the lease.  The accompanying
financial statements include increases  of  $441,104  and  $63,007 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and  1996,  of  rental income for the period of
occupancy for which stepped rent  increases  apply and $572,742 and $131,638 in
related accounts receivable as  of  September  30,  1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.  The Company anticipates  collecting these amounts over the terms
of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Certain statements in this  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and  elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q constitute  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the meaning of the
Federal Private Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.   These forward-
looking statements involve  known  and  unknown  risks, uncertainties and other
factors  which  may  cause   the   Company's  actual  results,  performance  or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied  by  these forward-looking statements.  These
factors include, among  other  things,  limitations  on  the  area in which the
Company may acquire properties; risks associated with borrowings secured by the
Company's properties; competition for tenants  and customers; federal, state or
local regulations; adverse  changes  in  general  economic or local conditions;
competition for property  acquisitions  with  third  parties  that have greater
financial resources than the  Company;  inability  of lessees to meet financial
obligations; uninsured losses;  risks  of  failing  to  qualify  as a REIT; and
potential  conflicts  of  interest  between  the  Company  and  its  affiliates
including the Advisor.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 24, 1996,  the  Company  had  received  subscriptions for a total of
5,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the  initial  Offering.  On July 24, 1996,
the Company commenced a Second Offering  of  10,000,000 shares.  As of July 10,
1997, the Company had received subscriptions  for a total of 10,000,000 Shares,
thereby completing  the  Second  Offering.    On  July  14,  1997,  the Company
commenced a Third Offering of 20,000,000 Shares.  As of September 30, 1997, the
Company had received subscriptions  for  a  total  of 3,732,611 Shares from the
Third Offering.    In  addition,  the  Company  has  distributed 529,560 Shares
through the Company's Distribution  Reinvestment  Program.   As a result, Gross
Offering Proceeds, total $191,185,844,  net  of  Shares repurchased through the
Share  Repurchase  Program.    As  of  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  has
repurchased 36,199 Shares through the Share Repurchase Program.  

The Company's capital needs and resources  are expected to undergo changes as a
result of  the  completion  of  the  initial  public  offering  of  Shares, the
commencement of the  follow-on  Offerings  and  the  acquisition of properties.
Operating cash flow is expected to  increase as these additional properties are
added to the portfolio.   Distributions  to  Stockholders are determined by the
Company's Board  of  Directors  and  are  dependent  on  a  number  of factors,
including  the  amount  of  funds  available  for  distribution,  the Company's
financial condition, capital expenditures, and the annual distribution required
to maintain REIT status under the Code.












                                     -19-


Cash and cash equivalents consists  of  cash  and short-term investments.  Cash
and  cash  equivalents  at  September  30,  1997  and  December  31,  1996 were
$30,003,445 and  $8,491,735  respectively.    The  increase  in  cash  and cash
equivalents since December 31,  1996  is  due  to the additional sales proceeds
raised  and  $32,848,379  in  additional   loan  proceeds  from  financing  the
properties.  Partially offsetting these  increases in cash and cash equivalents
was the purchase  of  additional  properties  since  December  31, 1996 and the
payment  of  Offering  costs.    The  Company  intends  to  use  cash  and cash
equivalents to purchase additional properties,  to pay distributions and to pay
offering costs.

As of September 30, 1997, the  Company had acquired thirty-six properties.  The
properties owned by the Company  are  currently generating sufficient cash flow
to cover operating expenses of the  Company  plus pay a monthly distribution on
weighted average shares.    Commencing  with  the  fourth  quarter of 1996, the
Company increased the monthly  distributions  from  8.0%  to  8.3% per annum on
weighted average shares.  Beginning  March  1,  1997, the Company increased the
monthly distribution  paid  to  8.5%  per  annum  on  weighted  average shares.
Beginning August 1, 1997, the  Company  increased the monthly distribution paid
to 8.7% per annum on weighted  average  shares.  Distributions declared for the
nine months ended  September  30,  1997  were  $8,285,244,  a  portion of which
represents a return of capital for federal  income tax purposes.  The return of
capital portion of the distributions cannot be determined at this time and will
be calculated at year end.  

Management of the Company monitors  the various qualification tests the Company
must meet to maintain its  status  as  a  real  estate investment trust.  Large
ownership of the Company's stock is  tested  upon purchase to determine that no
more than  50%  in  value  of  the  outstanding  stock  is  owned  directly, or
indirectly, by five or fewer persons  or  entities  at any time.  Management of
the Company also determines, on a quarterly basis, that the Gross Income, Asset
and Distribution Tests as described  in  the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification
Tests" are met.    On  an  ongoing  basis,  as  due  diligence  is performed by
management of  both  the  Company  and  the  Advisor  on  potential real estate
purchases or temporary  investment  of  uninvested  capital, management of both
entities determines that the income  from  the  new asset will qualify for REIT
purposes.   Beginning  with  the  year  ended  December  31,  1995, the Company
qualified as a REIT.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $7,419,821
for the nine months ended September  30, 1997 to $9,809,108 from $2,389,287 for
the same period in 1996.  This increase  is due primarily to an increase in net
income for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997, as compared to the net
income for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.   This increase in net
income is due to the purchase  of  additional  properties.  As of September 30,
1997, the Company had acquired  thirty-six  properties, as compared to thirteen
properties as of September 30, 1996.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  utilized
$99,031,269 in investing activities for  the purchase of fifteen properties, as
compared to the $26,729,537  utilized  in  the  nine months ended September 30,
1996 for the purchase of seven properties. 

In addition, the Company made deposits  totaling $3,018,530 for the purchase of
two centers to be completed in late 1997.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

For  the  nine  months  ended   September   30,  1997,  the  Company  generated
$115,598,014 of cash flows from financing activities as compared to $43,020,331
of cash flows generated  from  financing  activities  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  This increase is due primarily to the increase in proceeds
raised from the Offering of  $110,092,663  for  the nine months ended September
30, 1997, as compared to $40,246,259  of  Offering proceeds raised for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and  loan proceeds, net of principal payment of
debt, received in the nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997. This increase is
partially offset by an increase in  the  cash  used for the payment of Offering
costs for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.   The increase is also
partially offset by an increase  in  the  amount  of distributions paid for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  of  $7,518,259  as  compared  to the
distributions paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $1,989,199.

The Advisor has guaranteed payment  of  all public offering expenses (excluding
selling commissions, the marketing  contribution  and the due diligence expense
allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds of the Offering
(the "Gross  Offering  Proceeds")  or  all  organization  and offering expenses
(including such  selling  expenses)  which  together  exceed  15%  of the Gross
Offering Proceeds.  As of September 30, 1997, organizational and offering costs
did not exceed this limitation.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 1997, subscriptions  for  a total of 19,262,171 Shares were
received from the public resulting  in $191,185,844 in Gross Offering Proceeds,
which includes  the  Advisor's  capital  contribution  of  $200,000  and Shares
purchased through the DRP.

Funds from operations ("FFO")  means  net  income  (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting  principles),  excluding  gains  (or losses) from
debt restructuring and sales of  property, plus depreciation and other non-cash
items.  FFO and  funds  available  for  distribution  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated as follows:

  (1) FFO  does  not  represent  cash  generated  from  operating  activities in
      accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  is not
      necessarily indicative of cash available  to  fund cash needs.  FFO should
      not be considered as an alternative  to  net income as an indicator of the
      Company's operating performance or  as  an  alternative  to cash flow as a
      measure of liquidity.  

  (2) Reference is made to Note (5) of  the Notes to Financial Statements of the
      Company.

  (3) As part of  the  purchase  of  some  of  the  properties, the Company will
      receive rent under master lease agreements on some of the spaces currently
      vacant for periods ranging from one  to  two years or until the spaces are
      leased.  Generally accepted  accounting  principles  require that as these
      payments are received, they  be  recorded  as  a reduction in the purchase
      price of the properties rather than  as  rental income.  Reference is made
      to Note (5) of the Notes to Financial Statements of the Company.

Total income  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  and  1996 was
$19,655,649 and $3,641,605, respectively.  This increase was due to the purchase
of additional properties.  As  of  September  30, 1997, the Company had acquired
thirty-six properties, as compared  to  thirteen  properties as of September 30,
1996.  The  purchase  of  additional  properties  also  resulted in increases in
property operating expenses  to  Affiliates  and non-affiliates and depreciation
expense. 

The increase in mortgage interest to  Affiliates and non-affiliates for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, as  compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996, is due to financing  placed  on previously acquired centers as well as
mortgages assumed as part of the  purchases of Regency Point, Aurora Commons and
Rivertree Court.  The mortgages payable  totaled $88,774,835 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as  compared  to  $18,003,626 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  The Company  continues to have a mortgage collateralized by
the Walgreens, Decatur property payable to an Affiliate.

Interest income is the result  of  cash  and  cash equivalents being invested in
short-term investments until a property is purchased.

The  increases  in  professional  services  to  non-affiliates  and  general and
administrative expenses to Affiliates and  non-affiliates for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, as compared  to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, is due  to  the  management  of  an increased number of real
estate assets.


The following  is  a  list  of  approximate  physical  occupancy  levels for the
Company's investment properties as of  the  end  of each quarter during 1996 and
1997.  N/A indicates the property was not owned by the Company at the end of the
quarter.

    occupancy for Prospect Heights through September 30, 1997.
