Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
are as defined in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for

Illinois limited partnership, was formed to conduct the multifamily
residential property business of Equity Residential Properties Trust ("EQR").
EQR is a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed on March 31,

the term "Company" means EQR, and its subsidiaries, as the survivor of the
mergers between EQR and each of Wellsford Residential Property Trust
("Wellsford") (the "Wellsford Merger"), Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc.
("EWR") (the "EWR Merger"), Merry Land & Investment Company, Inc ("MRY") (the
"MRY Merger") and Lexford Residential Trust ("LFT") ("the LFT Merger").
The Operating Partnership is engaged in the acquisition,
disposition, ownership, management and operation of multifamily properties.
As of March 31,June 30, 2000, the Operating Partnership owned or had interests in a
portfolio of 1,0521,053 multifamily properties containing 223,724224,383 apartment units

---------------- -----------------
Total Properties 1,052 223,7241,053 224,383
================ =================
The "Partially Owned Properties" are controlled and partially owned by
the Operating Partnership but have partners with minority interests (see further
discussion in Notes 3 and 4). The "Unconsolidated Properties" are partially
owned but not controlled by the Operating Partnership and consist of investments
in partnership interests and/or subordinated mortgages. The Properties are
located in 35 states throughout the United States.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flows as of
and for the six months and quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2000 represent the
consolidated financial information of the Operating Partnership and its
subsidiaries.
Due to the Operating Partnership's ability to control either through
ownership or by contract a series of management limited partnerships and
companies (collectively, the "Management Partnerships" or the "Management
Companies"), the Financing Partnerships, the LLC's, and certain other
entities, each such entity has been consolidated with the Operating
Partnership for financial reporting purposes. In regard to the Management
Companies, the Operating Partnership does not have legal control; however,
these entities are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, the effects
of which are immaterial. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior year's financial statements in order to conform to the current year
presentation.

ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
Minority interests represented by EQR's indirect 1% interest in
various Financing Partnerships and LLCs are immaterial and have not been
accounted for in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain
amounts due from EQR for its 1% interest in the Financing Partnerships has
not been reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets since such amounts are
immaterial to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Operating
Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations and should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Operating
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in
the Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature.
3. PARTNERS' CAPITAL

As of March 31,June 30, 2000, OP Units outstanding totaled 140,411,989.143,438,716. The
limited partners of the Operating Partnership as of March 31,June 30, 2000 include
various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for a partnership interest (the "Limited
Partners") and are represented by 12,465,97112,258,530 OP Units. As of March 31,June 30, 2000,
EQR (as the general partner) had an approximate 91.12%91.45% interest and the
Limited Partners had an approximate 8.88%8.55% interest in the Operating
Partnership.
In regards to the general partner, net proceeds from the various
equity offerings of EQR have been contributed by EQR to the Operating
Partnership in return for an increased ownership percentage. Due to the
Limited Partners' ability to convert their interest into an ownership
interest in the general partner, the net offering proceeds are allocated
between EQR (as general partner) and the Limited Partners (to the extent
represented by OP Units) to account for the change in their respective
percentage ownership of the equity of the Operating Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Operating Partnership's overall results of operations for the
quarterssix months ended March 31,June 30, 2000 and 1999 have been significantly impacted by
the Operating Partnership's acquisition and disposition activity. The
significant changes in rental revenues, property and maintenance expenses,
real estate taxes and insurance, depreciation expense, property management
and interest expense can all primarily be attributed to the acquisition of
the 1999 Acquired Properties and the 2000 Acquired Properties, partially
offset by the disposition of the 1999 Disposed Properties and the 2000
Disposed Properties. The impact of the 1999 Acquired Properties and the 2000
Acquired Properties, the 1999 Disposed Properties and the 2000 Disposed
Properties are discussed in greater detail in the following paragraphs.
Properties that the Operating Partnership owned for all of both the
quartersix-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2000 and March 31,June 30, 1999 (the "First Quarter"Six-Month 2000
Same Store Properties"), which represented 174,261167,210 units, also impacted the
Operating Partnership's results of operationsoperations. Properties that the Operating
Partnership owned for all of both the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999 (the "Second-Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties"), which represented
168,634 units, also impacted the Operating Partnership's results of
operations. Both the Six-Month 2000 Same Store Properties and Second-Quarter
2000 Same Store Properties are discussed as well in the following paragraphs.
COMPARISON OF QUARTERSIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 2000 TO QUARTERSIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,JUNE 30, 1999
For the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2000, income before gain on
disposition of properties, net, extraordinary item and allocation to Minority
Interests increased by $8.9approximately $25.7 million when compared to the quartersix
months ended March 31,June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the 1999 Acquired Properties as well as increases in rental
revenues net of increases in property and maintenance expenses, real estate
taxes and insurance, property management expenses, depreciation expense,
interest expense and general and administrative expenses.
In regard to the First QuarterSix-Month 2000 Same Store Properties, total
revenues increased by approximately $14.4$29.0 million to $398.0$770.5 million or 3.75%3.92%
primarily as a result of higher rental rates charged to new tenants and
tenant renewals and an increase in income from billing tenants for their
share of utility costs as well as other ancillary services provided to
tenants. Overall, property operating expenses, which include property and
maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance and an allocation of property
management expenses, increased approximately $2.6$5.3 million or 1.83%1.96%. This
increase was primarily the result of higher expenses for on-site compensation
costs and an increase in real estate taxes on certain properties, but was
partially offset by lower leasing and advertising, administrative,
maintenance, building and insurance costs.
Property management represents expenses associated with the
self-management of the Operating Partnership's Properties. These expenses
increased by approximately $4.7$9.8 million primarily due to the operations of
the property management business obtained through the LFT Merger.Merger and a
current year compensation charge associated with the issuance of restricted
shares to our property management personnel.

expenses are associated with the management of properties not owned by the
Operating Partnership that are managed for affiliates. These revenues and
expenses increased slightly.

PART I
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

increase in the Operating Partnership's average indebtedness outstanding. The
effective interest cost on all of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness
for the six months ending June 30, 2000 was 7.26% as compared to 6.98% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.
General and administrative expenses, which include corporate
operating expenses, increased approximately $2.5 million between the periods
under comparison. This increase was primarily due to recording higher
compensation expense associated with the issuance of restricted shares. These
expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 1.35% for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1.28% of total revenues for the six months

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, income before gain on
disposition of properties, net, extraordinary item and allocation to Minority
Interests increased by approximately $16.8 million when compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of the 1999 Acquired Properties as well as increases in rental
revenues net of increases in property and maintenance expenses, real estate
taxes and insurance, property management expenses, depreciation expense,
interest expense and general and administrative expenses.
In regard to the Second-Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties, total
revenues increased by approximately $15.3 million or 4.08% primarily as a

as well as other ancillary services provided to tenants. Overall, property
operating expenses, which include property and maintenance, real estate taxes
and insurance and an allocation of property management expenses, increased
approximately $3.1 million or 2.24%. This increase was primarily the result
of higher expenses for on-site compensation costs and an increase in real
estate taxes on certain properties, but was partially offset by lower
administrative, building and insurance costs.
Property management represents expenses associated with the
self-management of the Operating Partnership's Properties. These expenses
increased by approximately $5.1 million primarily due to the operations of
the property management business obtained through the LFT Merger and a
current year compensation charge associated with the issuance of restricted
shares to our property management personnel.

expenses are associated with the management of properties not owned by the

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from Operations ("FFO") represents net income (loss) (computed
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United
States ("GAAP")), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships
and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the
same basis. This definition of FFO is in accordance with the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's ("NAREIT") recommended
definition. NAREIT modified this definition effective January 1, 2000.
However, as a result of this modification, no changes were required to the
Operating Partnership's calculation of FFO for either the current or prior
periods presented.
The Operating Partnership believes that FFO is helpful to investors
as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate
company because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing
activities and investing activities, it provides investors an understanding
of the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur and service debt and to
make capital expenditures. FFO in and of itself does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the
Operating Partnership's performance or to net cash flows from operating
activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity and is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. The Operating
Partnership's calculation of FFO may differ from the methodology for
calculating FFO utilized by other real estate companies and may differ as a
result of differences between the Operating Partnership's and other real
estate company's accounting policies for replacement type items and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other real estate companies.
Net income per OP Unit and FFO per OP Unit areis presented giving affect to the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share".
