The accompanying financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles  for  interim financial information and
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.  Readers of
this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company's audited financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, which are included in the Company's
1997 Annual Report, as  certain  footnote  disclosures which would substantially
duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted
from this Report.  In the  opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company") was  formed on May 12, 1994.  The
Company may acquire existing  Neighborhood  Retail Centers and Community Centers
located primarily within an approximate  400-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.  The Company is also
permitted to construct or develop  properties,  or render services in connection
with such development or construction,  subject to the Company's compliance with
the rules governing real estate  investment  trusts  under the Code, as amended.
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,  ("Initial  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 at
$10.00 per Share, 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 at $10.00 per Share, on
a best efforts basis, (the "Third Offering").  As of March 19, 1998, the Company
had received subscriptions for a  total of 20,000,000 Shares, thereby completing
the Third Offering.  On April 7,  1998,  the Company commenced an offering of an
additional 27,000,000 Shares at $11.00 per  Share, on a best efforts basis, (the
"Fourth Offering").  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had received subscriptions
for a total of 5,513,260  Shares  from  the  Fourth Offering. In addition, as of
June  30,  1998,  the  Company  has  distributed  1,310,465  Shares  through the
Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program ("DRP").    As of June 30, 1998, the
Company has repurchased a total  of  72,023  Shares through the Share Repurchase
Program.  As a  result,  as  of  June  30,  1998,  Gross Offering Proceeds total
$423,256,944 net of Shares repurchased 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.

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  June  30,  1998  includes  $771,682  held  in escrow for the
principal payments on the Aurora  Commons  mortgage payable and $177,855 held in
escrow by the mortgagee for the payment  of real estate taxes at Aurora Commons,
Shoppes at Mill Creek Shopping Center  and Schaumburg Plaza.  Restricted cash at
June 30,  1998  also  includes  amounts  held  as  vacancy  escrows  on Cobblers
Crossing, Mallard Crossing, Shorecrest Shopping Center, Sequoia Shopping Center,
Shoppes at Coopers Grove, Prairie  Square,  Lake Park Plaza, Chestnut Court, St.
James Crossing, Oak  Forest  Commons,  Shoppes  of  Mill Creek, Woodfield Plaza,
Bergen Plaza, Berwyn Plaza,  High  Point  Center,  Schaumburg Plaza and Woodland
Heights.  The monthly  amounts  drawn  for  rent  under the master lease escrows
decrease the basis of the  respective  properties.   Restricted cash at June 30,
1998 also includes $556,025 held in  escrow for the second phase of construction
at Oak Forest Commons and  $95,985  held  in  escrow for possible vacancies upon
completion of the second phase at  Oak  Forest Commons.  Restricted cash at June
30, 1998 also included $67,861  in  escrows  established by the Seller of Bergen
Plaza as  a  guarantee  to  cover  possible  unpaid  expenses,  an obligation to
complete a bike  path  for  a  new  tenant  and  possible  claims by tenants for
reimbursement of snowplowing expenses.   Restricted  cash  at June 30, 1998 also
includes $500,000  deposited  with  the  City  of  Oakdale  as  security for any
shortfall of taxes  due  to  the  tax  increment  financing  used to develop the
property.  This requirement expires in the year 2004.

                                  (unaudited)


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 operations and sale of properties.  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 June 30, 1998, the Company
does not believe any such impairments of its properties exists.

Depreciation expense is computed using  the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are depreciated based upon  estimated  useful lives of 30 years for
the building and building improvements and 15 years for the site improvements.

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.

The Company believes  that  the  interest  rates  associated  with the mortgages
payable and notes payable  to  Affiliates  approximate the market interest rates
for these types of debt  instruments,  and  as  such, the carrying amount of the
mortgages payable and notes payable to Affiliates approximate their fair value.

Certain reclassifications were made to  the 1997 financial statements to conform
with the 1998 presentation.

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  financial  statements  contain  all  the
adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly
the financial  position  and  results  of  operations  for  the period presented
herein.  Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the year.


(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 each of the
Offerings.  Such expenses include postage, data processing and marketing and are

                                  (unaudited)

reimbursed at cost.  The collective costs to Affiliates incurred relating to the
Offerings were $1,084,177 and $1,047,694  as  of  June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively, of which $41,756 and $24,374  was unpaid as of June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively.   In  addition, an Affiliate of the Advisor
serves as dealer manager of  each  of  the  Offerings and is entitled to receive
selling commissions,  a  marketing  contribution  and  a  due  diligence expense
allowance fee from the Company in  connection  with each of the Offerings.  Such
amounts incurred were  $39,063,935  and  $23,124,938  as  of  June  30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively, of which $653,944 and $519,914 was unpaid as of
June 30, 1998 and  December  31,  1997, respectively.  Approximately $33,094,000
and $19,581,000 of these commissions had  been passed through from the Affiliate
to unaffiliated soliciting broker/dealers as  of  June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively.

As of June 30, 1998,  the  Company  had incurred $45,535,526 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 June  30,  1998,  organizational  and offering expenses did not
exceed the 5.5% or 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.

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 six
months ended June 30, 1998, the  Company  has incurred $980,376 of such fees, of
which $548,193 remains unpaid at June 30, 1998.

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 $1,149,072 and  $416,330  for  the  six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, all of which has been paid.


(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 the date they
become a Director 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.  As of June 30, 1998, options for 1,000 Shares
have been exercised for $9.05 per Share.

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 stated in the  Offering during the period commencing with the
first date upon which the Soliciting  Dealer Warrants are issued and ending upon
the exercise period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing no Soliciting Dealer Warrant
will be exercisable until one year from  the  date  of issuance.  As of June 30,
1998, 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 $2,050,710 and $981,055
    as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, 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  $611,079  and  $207,655 for the six
months ended June  30,  1998  and  1997,  of  rental  income  for the period of
occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $1,397,695 and $786,616 in
related accounts  receivable  as  of  June  30,  1998  and  December  31, 1997,
respectively.  The Company anticipates  collecting these amounts over the terms
of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(a) All payments are interest only, with  the exception of the loans secured by
    the Walgreens, Regency Point and Aurora Commons properties.

(b) Payments on this mortgage  are  based  on  a  floating interest rate of 180
    basis points over the 30-day  LIBOR rate, which adjusts monthly, amortizing
    over 25 years.

(c) The Company received a credit for  interest expense on the debt at closing,
    which is included in restricted cash along  with an amount set aside by the
    Company for principal payments on the  debt.  Interest income earned on the
    restricted cash amounts, when  netted  with  interest  expense on the debt,
    results in an adjusted interest rate on the debt of approximately 8.2%.

(d) The Company received a credit for interest expense on the debt at closing.

(e) As part of the purchase of  this property, the Company assumed the existing
    mortgage-backed Economic Development Revenue  Bonds, Series 1994 offered by
    the Village of Skokie, Illinois.    The  interest  rate floats and is reset
    weekly by a re-marketing agent.  The current rate is 3.875%.  The bonds are
    further secured by an Irrevocable Letter  of Credit, issued by LaSalle Bank
    at a fee of 1.25% of the  bond  outstanding.  In addition, there is a .125%
    re-marketing fee paid annually.

(f) The seller deposited  money  into  an  escrow  account, which together with
    interest earnings on the deposit,  will  provide  a  sum that will be drawn
    down on a monthly basis  by  the  Company  to reduce the effective interest
    rate paid on the loan to 7% per annum for a period of five years.


(8) Subsequent Events

In  July  1998,  the  Company   paid   a  distribution  of  $2,954,326  to  the
Stockholders.

On July 1, 1998,  the  Company  purchased  the Winnetka Commons Shopping Center
from an unaffiliated third party for approximately $4,435,000.  The property is
located in New Hope, Minnesota and contains approximately 42,381 square feet of
leasable space.  Its anchor tenants are Walgreens and Big Wheel Auto Store.

On July 7, 1998, the  Company  purchased  the  Eastgate Shopping Center from an
unaffiliated third party for approximately $7,732,000.  The property is located
in Lombard, Illinois and contains approximately 132,519 square feet of leasable
space.  Its anchor tenants are Ace Hardware and State of Illinois.

In July 1998, the Company obtained  additional financing secured by the Downers
Grove Marketplace property  totaling  $10,600,000  from an unaffiliated lender.
Loan fees total approximately $80,000  in  connection  with this mortgage.  The
mortgage loan has a term of  seven  years  and prior to maturity date, requires
payment of interest only, at 6.82%.

On July 16, 1998, the  Company  disbursed  an additional $335,681 in connection
with the construction loan secured  by  the  Staples  Office Supply store to be
built in Freeport, Illinois.

On August 6, 1998, the Company acquired title to approximately 27 acres of land
located at the northeast  intersection  of  North  Avenue  and Kirk Road in St.
Charles, Illinois, to be developed  into  a 204,000 square foot shopping center
to  be  known  as  "Stuarts  Crossing"  from  H.P.  Kirk  Partners,  L.L.C., an
unaffiliated third party.    The  initial  purchase  price  of $14,176,627, was
funded with cash and cash equivalents.   Included in the purchase price paid by
the Company is $8,824,883 which has been placed in a development escrow for the
construction of a Jewel/Osco Food Store  and adjacent stores.  The Company will
receive  interest  at  the  rate  of  9.0%  per  annum,  paid  monthly,  on the
development escrow.

On August 11,  1998,  the  Company  deposited  $1,240,000  with Lehman Brothers
Holding, Inc. to lock a 6.36% interest  rate on $62,000,000 in new financing to
be secured by twelve properties owned  by  the Company.  These loans, which are
expected to close  on  October  1,  1998,  will  require  monthly interest only
payments at a 6.36% interest rate for a period of ten years.

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

On April 7, 1998, the Company commenced an offering of an additional 27,000,000
Shares at $11.00 per Share, on  a  best efforts basis, ("the Fourth Offering").
As of June 30, 1998,  the  Company  had  received  subscriptions for a total of
5,513,260 Shares from the Fourth Offering.    In addition, as of June 30, 1998,
the Company has distributed 1,310,465 Shares through the Company's Distribution
Reinvestment Program.  As of June  30, 1998, the Company has repurchased 72,023
Shares through the Company's Share Repurchase Program.  As a result, as of June
30, 1998, Gross Offering Proceeds  total $423,256,944 net of Shares repurchased
through the Share Repurchase Program.

Cash and cash equivalents consists  of  cash  and short-term investments.  Cash
and cash equivalents at June  30,  1998  and December 31, 1997 were $95,648,994
and $51,145,587 respectively.  The increase  in cash and cash equivalents since
December 31, 1997 resulted primarily from  the sale of shares and loan proceeds
from financing secured by the  Company's  properties.  Partially offsetting the
increase in cash and cash equivalents was the use of cash resources to purchase
additional properties since December 31, 1997 and the payment of offering costs
associated with sale of  shares.    The  Company  intends  to use cash and cash
equivalents to purchase additional properties,  to pay distributions and to pay
Offering Costs.

As of June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had  acquired sixty-seven 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.   Beginning  June  1,  1998, the Company increased the
monthly distribution  paid  to  $.88  per  annum  on  weighted  average shares.
Distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $14,655,387,
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.  



                                     -23-



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 imposed by the REIT requirements are met.  On an ongoing
basis, as due diligence is  performed  by  the Advisor on potential real estate
purchases or temporary investment  of uninvested capital, management determines
that the income from the new  asset  will qualify for REIT purposes.  Beginning
with the tax year ended December 31, 1995, the Company has qualified as a REIT.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $5,520,586 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997  to  $18,839,656  for  the six months ended June 30,
1998.   This increase is due primarily to the purchase of additional properties
in 1998 and a full six  months  of operations on properties acquired during the
six months ended June 30, 1997.  As  of June 30, 1998, the Company had acquired
sixty-seven properties, as compared to  thirty-three  properties as of June 30,
1997.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash flows  used  in  investing  activities  were  utilized  primarily  for the
purchase of and additions to properties.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

For the six months ended June  30,  1998, the Company generated $190,413,666 of
cash flows from financing activities  as  compared to $76,614,494 of cash flows
generated from financing activities  for  the  six  months ended June 30, 1997.
This increase is due primarily to the increase in proceeds raised from the sale
of $174,025,147 of Shares for the  six  months ended June 30, 1998, as compared
to the sale of $63,191,534 of  Shares  for  the six months ended June 30, 1997.
This increase is also due to $48,302,000 in financing secured by sixteen of the
Company's properties for the six  months  ended  June  30, 1998, as compared to
$32,848,379 in financing secured by ten of the Company's properties for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. This increase is partially offset by an increase in
the cash used to pay costs  associated  with  selling Shares for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared  to  the  six  months ended June 30, 1997.  The
increase is also partially offset by an increase in the amount of distributions
paid for the six months ended June  30,  1998 of $13,478,174 as compared to the
distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $4,202,698.

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 June  30, 1998, organizational and offering costs did
not exceed these limitations.

Results of Operations

At June 30, 1998,  the  Company  owned  forty-nine neighborhood retail centers,
eight community centers and ten single-user retail properties.

Total income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $30,513,396 and
$11,917,334 respectively.  This increase  was  due to the purchase of additional
properties in 1998 and a  full  six  months of operations on properties acquired
during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had
acquired sixty-seven properties, as  compared  to  thirty-three properties as of
June 30, 1997.  The purchase of additional properties also resulted in increases
in property operating expenses including depreciation expense. 

The decrease in mortgage interest  to  Affiliates  for the six months ended June
30, 1998, as compared to  the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1997, is due to the
payoff of the acquisition financing  totaling $8,000,000.  The Company continues
to have a mortgage collateralized by  the Walgreens, Decatur property payable to
an Affiliate.

The increase in mortgage interest to non-affiliates for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, as  compared  to  the  three  and six months ended June 30,
1997, is due to  financing  secured  by  previously  acquired centers as well as
mortgages assumed as part of  the  purchases of Aurora Commons, Rivertree Court,
Fashion Square, Shoppes at  Mill  Creek  and  Schaumburg.  The mortgages payable
totaled $167,572,782 as of June 30,  1998  as compared to $73,130,071 as of June
30, 1997.

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  Affiliates  and non-affiliates and
general and administrative expenses to  Affiliates  for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, as  compared  to  the  three  and six months ended June 30,
1997, is due to the management of  an increased number of real estate assets and
an increased number of investors.

The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor  Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets, paid  quarterly.  The Company paid an Advisor
Asset  Management  Fee  of  .50%  and  .75%  as  of  June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.

The increase in acquisition  cost  expenses  is  due  to the increased number of
properties considered for acquisition by the Company and not purchased.


Year 2000

The Company has reviewed its  current  computer  systems and does not anticipate
any future problems relating to the year 2000.

Funds from Operations

One of  the  Company's  objectives  is  to  provide  cash  distributions  to its
Shareholders from cash generated  by  the  Company's operations.  Cash generated
from operations is  not  equivalent  to  the  Company's  net operating income as
determined under generally accepted  accounting  principals  ("GAAP  ").  Due to
certain unique operating characteristics of  real estate companies, the National
Association of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts  ("NAREIT"),  an industry trade
group, has promulgated a standard known  as "Funds from Operations" or "FFO" for
short, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a
REIT such as the Company.  As  defined  by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed
in accordance with GAAP,  less  extraordinary,  unusual and non-recurring items,
excluding gains (or losses) from  debt  restructuring and sales of property plus
depreciation  and  amortization   and   after   adjustments  for  unconsolidated
partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest.  The Company
has adopted the NAREIT definition  for computing FFO because management believes
that, subject to the following  limitations,  FFO provides a basis for comparing
the performance and operations of  the  Company  to  those  of other REITs.  The
calculation of FFO  may  vary  from  entity  to  entity since capitalization and
expense  policies  tend  to  vary  from  entity  to  entity.    Items  which are
capitalized do not  impact  FFO,  whereas  items  that  are expensed reduce FFO.
Consequently, the presentation of FFO  by  the  Company may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures presented by  other  REITs.  FFO is not intended
to  be  an  alternative  to  "Net  Income"  as  an  indicator  of  the Company's
performance nor to "Cash Flows from  Operating Activities" as determined by GAAP
as a measure of the  Company's  capacity  to  pay  distributions.  FFO and funds
available for distribution are calculated as follows:

  (1) FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities calculated
      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.  





                                     -26-



  (2) 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.

  (3) Acquisition costs expenses  include  costs  and  expenses  relating to the
      acquisition of properties.  These costs  are  estimated to be up to .5% of
      the Gross  Offering  Proceeds  and  are  paid  from  the  Proceeds  of the
      Offering.

  (4) As part of several purchases,  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.  GAAP
      requires 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 following table  lists  the  approximate  physical  occupancy levels for the
Company's properties as of the end  of  each  quarter during 1998 and 1997.  N/A

  * As part of the purchase of  these properties the Company receives rent under
    master lease agreements on the vacant  space, which results in 100% economic
    occupancy at June 30, 1998 for each of these centers, except Six Corners and
    Prairie  Square  where  the  master  lease  agreement  results  in  economic
    occupancy of 94% and 97%, respectively.

    The master lease agreements are  for  periods  ranging from one to two years
    from the purchase date or until the spaces are leased.


On behalf of the Company,  the  Advisor  is  currently exploring the purchase of
additional shopping centers from unaffiliated third parties.

On July 1, 1998, the Company purchased the Winnetka Commons Shopping Center from
an unaffiliated third  party  for  approximately  $4,435,000.    The property is

leasable space.  Its anchor tenants are Walgreens and Big Wheel Auto Store.

On July 7, 1998,  the  Company  purchased  the  Eastgate Shopping Center from an

Loan fees total approximately  $80,000  in  connection  with this mortgage.  The

Charles, Illinois, to be developed into a 204,000 square foot shopping center to
be known as "Stuarts Crossing" from  H.P. Kirk Partners, L.L.C., an unaffiliated
third party.  The initial purchase price of $14,176,627, was funded with cash 

                                     -30-



and cash equivalents.  Included  in  the  purchase  price paid by the Company is
$8,824,883 which has been placed in a development escrow for the construction of
a Jewel/Osco Food Store and adjacent  stores.  The Company will receive interest
at the rate of 9.0% per annum, paid monthly, on the development escrow.

On August  11,  1998,  the  Company  deposited  $1,240,000  with Lehman Brothers
Holding, Inc. to lock a 6.36%  interest  rate on $62,000,000 in new financing to
be secured by twelve properties owned  by  the  Company.  These loans, which are
expected to  close  on  October  1,  1998,  will  require  monthly interest only
payments at a 6.36% interest rate for a period of ten years.
