Net income for the 2002 period included $1.0 million of gain on sale of properties. The Company's 38 properties had average occupancy of 84% for the second quarter of 2002.

For the six months ended June June: see month.  30, 2002, the Company reported net income of $9.4 million, or $0.57 per common share, compared to $9.9 million, or $0.59 per common share, for the comparable period of 2001. There were no property sales during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Funds from operations totaled $18.1 million, or $1.10 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $0.02 per common share from the same period in 2001.

"Our operating results in 2002 reflect the impact of declining occupancies in our markets and portfolio. Although occupancies declined from 90.5% in July July: see month.  2001 to 82.6% as of July 1, 2002, we are pleased that FFO per common share has decreased only slightly," commented Dick May, Great Lakes REIT's Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Based on current market conditions, we are estimating 2002 FFO per common share in the range of $2.13 to $2.18, and EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) A PostScript file format used to transfer a graphic image between applications and platforms.

"In addition, we expect portfolio occupancy to return to more normalized levels during the next three to five years, which would produce significant FFO gains.

Outlook

Leasing Activity Update

The Company has renewed or re-leased 634,000 square feet of its 1,261,000 square feet of rollover exposure for 2002, at net rents averaging 15% higher than rents on the expiring leases. Although current market rents are down approximately 10% from 2001 peak levels and still declining, Great Lakes REIT has been able to increase rents on lease renewals because many of the Company's expiring leases were at rates well below market rates. These below market rents were in place when the Company originally acquired many of its properties and were a primary reason for their acquisition. For year 2002, Great Lakes REIT anticipates net rent increases on renewals or re-leasing averaging approximately 10% including the renewals and re-lets accomplished to date.

 increases in the Company's markets. The Company anticipates a difficult leasing environment throughout 2002 and into 2003.

Great Lakes REIT's primary operations focus is re-leasing the approximately 403,000 square feet of uncommitted leases expiring during the balance of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Great Lakes REIT averaged approximately 30,500 square feet of new leasing activity per month. Based on the pace of leasing and the impact of anticipated acquisitions and dispositions, the Company expects that its occupancy levels will be approximately 83% at December December: see month.  31, 2002.

Great Lakes REIT currently has several tenants that are in default under their leases for failure to make rent payments. In addition, several other tenants that are not currently in default are experiencing financial difficulties which may lead to lease defaults. The Company's current expectation is that the possible negative effect on earnings and FFO in 2002 of additional tenant defaults is in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 per common share for the remainder of 2002.
