2. Interim Financial Statements
-------------------------------

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein were
prepared from the records of the Company in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement
of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods.
Such financial statements generally conform to the presentation reflected in the
Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The consolidated results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. These financial
statements and notes should be read together with the financial statements and
notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2001.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") authorized
the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no
longer be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, but
will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of
impairment arise. The goodwill impairment test, which is based on fair value, is
to be performed on a reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as a SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
operating segment or one level lower. Goodwill will no longer be allocated to
other long-lived assets for impairment testing under SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of". Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be
amortized. Instead they will be carried at the lower of cost or market value and
tested for impairment at least annually. All other recognized intangible assets
will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company's
adoption of SFAS No. 142 will not have an impact on its financial statements, as
it has not recorded any goodwill or intangible assets.

                                       6



     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement", which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have
on its financial position and results of operations.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective for fiscal
periods beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those
fiscal years. SFAS No. 144 establishes an accounting model for impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company's adoption
of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on its financial statements.

4. Agreement with Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC
-----------------------------------------------

     Effective January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001, all of the Company's
properties were managed under a Property Management and Advisory Agreement (as
amended on March 12, 2001, the "Agreement") with Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC
("SRA"), which also managed the day-to-day operations of the Company and
assisted and advised the Board of Directors on real estate acquisitions and
investment opportunities. Certain senior members of SRA are members of the
Company's management team and of the Company's Board of Directors. In accordance
with the Agreement, SRA received an administrative fee, a property management
and accounting fee, an advisory fee and a capital project fee for these
services. The property management fee was calculated as 5% of gross collected
rents, the advisory fee is calculated as 5% of capital deployed for real
property acquisitions and the capital project fee is calculated as 3% of the
total cost of capital projects in excess of $100,000.

     The Agreement was further amended and restated as of December 31, 2001 to
provide for the Company's acquisition of SRA's administrative and property
management and accounting services business, along with elimination of those
related fees, effective January 1, 2002. As a result, most of SRA's employees,
including three of the Company's senior executives, became employees of the
Company and manage the day-to-day operations. The three senior executives will
also remain employees of SRA. SRA will continue to advise the Company with
respect to capital markets activity, real estate acquisitions and dispositions
and major capital projects. For these services, SRA will continue to earn the
advisory and capital project fees under the amended and restated Agreement.

     During 2000, SRA received incentive compensation in the form of five-year
warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.
Issuance of the warrants was approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting
on June 6, 2000. According to the Agreement, 225,000 of these warrants were
granted and vested on the approval date. These vested warrants have an estimated
fair value of $73,668, which is being amortized over the life of the Agreement.
The remaining 525,000 warrants vest in an amount equal to 2.1% of capital
deployed for real property acquisitions. As of March 31, 2002, 436,457 of the
remaining 525,000 warrants vested and have an estimated fair value of $261,691,
which has been capitalized with the related acquisition costs on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

5. Mortgage Loans and Notes Payable
-----------------------------------

     The Company has a short-term revolving credit line from a bank in the
amount of $300,000 and a $1,500,000 short-term unsecured credit line from
Sheridan Investments, LLC, a related party. At March 31, 2002, the Company had
an outstanding balance of $300,000 on the bank line with an interest rate of
5.75%, and no outstanding balance on the Sheridan Investments, LLC line.

                                       7



6. Subsequent Events
--------------------

     On April 4, 2002, the Company drew down the remaining available amount of
$1,030,201 on its loan from US Bank for a total outstanding balance of
$10,500,000. The loan is secured by a mortgage on Sheridan Center.

     On April 30, 2002, the Company drew down $1,000,000 on its credit line from
Sheridan Investments, LLC, a related party, to be used as working capital.

                                                 ===========    ===========    ===========



Rental Revenue

     The increase in rental revenue is due primarily to the inclusion of the
operations of Sheridan Plaza at Inverness, LLC (acquired in April 2001),
Arrowhead Fountains (acquired in November 2001) and the Kellogg Building
(acquired in December 2001), offset by the exclusion of the operations of the
Giltedge building (sold in June 2001) and the Panorama Falls building (80% of
which was sold in December 2001).

Property Operating Expenses

     Operating expenses and real estate taxes increased as a result of the
above-mentioned transactions.

     The decrease in management fees is due to the Company's acquisition of
Sheridan Realty Advisors, LLC ("SRA") administrative and property management and
accounting services business, along with elimination of those related fees,
effective January 1, 2002. As a result, most of SRA's employees became employees
of the Company and manage the day-to-day operations, and the Company became a
self-administered REIT. Subsequent to January 1, 2002, management fees will
decrease and general and administrative expenses will increase due to the
Company being internally managed versus externally managed in 2000 and 2001.

General and Administrative Expenses

     The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to the
above-mentioned acquisition of SRA's administrative and property management and
accounting services business.


                                       9


Interest Expense

     The increase in interest expense is due to the increase in debt outstanding
at March 31, 2002 by approximately 103% from the prior year. The effect of the
increase in debt level is partially offset by a decrease in interest rates,
which resulted in lower interest costs on the Company's variable rate debt.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

     The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the overall
increase in depreciable assets resulting from the acquisitions discussed above.

Interest Income

     Interest income decreased due to lower average outstanding cash balances
and lower interest rates during the first quarter of 2002.

Equity in Loss of Unconsolidated Affiliates

     The equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliate recognized in 2002
represents the Company's share of the net loss of Panorama Falls. The Company
sold 80% of its interest in Panorama Falls in December 2001, retaining its
current 20% interest.

     The amount recognized in 2001 represents the Company's share of the net
loss of Sheridan Investments, LLC (which owned Sheridan Plaza at Inverness,
LLC). The original 9.639% interest in Sheridan Investments, LLC was acquired in
September 2000. This interest was then used as partial consideration for the
acquisition of 100% of Sheridan Plaza at Inverness, LLC in April 2001.

                         Liquidity And Capital Resources
                         -------------------------------
Liquidity
---------

     Net cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was
approximately $1.3 million and is the primary source of liquidity to fund
distributions, debt service and capital expenditures. The Company also has lines
of credit available to assist with such cash needs.

     Management believes that the cash flow from its existing properties,
together with its existing lines of credit, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital needs for the next year and beyond.

     The Company desires to acquire additional properties. In order to do so, it
will need to raise additional debt or equity capital. The Company also intends
to obtain credit facilities for short and long-term borrowing with commercial
banks or other financial institutions. The issuance of such securities or
increase in debt for additional properties, of which there is no assurance,
could adversely affect the amount of cash available to pay dividends to
stockholders.

Financing

     Included in the 2003 maturities is the outstanding balance on the mortgage
loan on Panorama Falls in the amount of $3,036,294. Although the Company sold
80% of its interest in the property, the Company has retained 100% of the loan
balance on its balance sheet due to its continued obligation. As an offset, the
Company has recorded a receivable for 80% of this amount as due from related
party, with the remaining 20% included in the investment in unconsolidated
affiliate balance.

                                       10



     As of March 31, 2002, total mortgage loans (including the Panorama Falls
mortgage loan) consisted of approximately $27.1 million of fixed rate debt with
a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 7.9% and approximately $31.2
million of variable rate debt with a weighted-average interest rate of
approximately 4.5%. The Company intends to secure long-term financing at a fixed
interest rate to replace certain of its variable rate debt in late 2002.

     The Company has a short-term revolving credit line from a bank in the
amount of $300,000 and a $1,500,000 short-term unsecured credit line from
Sheridan Investments, LLC, a related party. At March 31, 2002, the Company had
an outstanding balance of $300,000 on the bank line with an interest rate of
5.75%, and no outstanding balance on the Sheridan Investments, LLC line. On
April 30, 2002, the Company drew down $1,000,000 on the Sheridan Investments,
LLC line to be used as working capital.

     On April 4, 2002, the Company drew down the remaining available amount of
$1,030,201 on its loan from US Bank for a total outstanding balance of
$10,500,000. The loan is secured by a mortgage on Sheridan Center.

Inflation
---------

     Management believes that inflation should not have a material adverse
effect on the Company. The Company's office leases require the tenants to pay
increases in operating expenses should any inflationary pressures materialize.
