 leases. Although current market rents are down significantly from 2001 peak levels and still declining, Great Lakes REIT has been able to increase rents on most of its lease renewals because many of the Company's expiring leases were at rates 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.

Leasing Outlook

 increases in the Company's markets. Although the pace of leased space contraction and property deliveries has slowed compared to the pace during the first six months of 2002, there is no reversal of this trend forecasted for 2002 or 2003, and the Company anticipates a difficult leasing environment throughout 2002 and 2003.

Great Lakes REIT's primary focus is re-leasing the approximately 245,000 square feet of uncommitted leases expiring during the balance of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Great Lakes REIT averaged approximately 29,000 square feet of new leasing activity per month. In addition, the Company expects to lease an average of 29,000 square feet per month during the remainder of 2002. Based on this pace of leasing, the Company expects that its portfolio occupancy will be approximately 83% at December 31, 2002. Based on current projections, the Company expects that average portfolio occupancy during 2003 will be in the range of 77% to 80%.

Tenant Credit Issues

As of November 1, 2002, several tenants were in default under their leases for failure to make rent payments. Several other tenants that are not currently in default are experiencing financial difficulties which may lead to lease defaults. These tenant defaults may adversely impact the Company's revenue in 2002 and 2003.
