have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for interim financial information and with the 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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and
certain reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods
financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
2001.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements.

For further information including capitalized terms, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect
of interest rate changes. The Company limits these risks by following
established risk management policies and procedures including the use of
derivatives.

The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major
financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When
viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the
derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss
from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its
net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133/138, which
requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities
in the statement of financial position and to measure those instruments at fair
value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either shareholders'
equity or net income depending on whether the derivative instruments qualify as
a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.
When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying
transaction is terminated or completed, all changes in the fair value of the
instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income
each period until the instrument matures. Any derivative instrument used for
risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market each
period.

As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard resulted in
derivative instruments reported on the balance sheet as liabilities of
approximately $6.6 million; an adjustment of approximately $5.3 million to
"Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", which are gains and losses not
affecting retained earnings in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders'
Equity; and a charge of approximately $1.3 million as a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge
qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and
recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying transaction
occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. As of March 31, 2001, there were
approximately $17.0 million in deferred losses, net, included in accumulated
other comprehensive income.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company has entered into swaps, which have
been designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $626.4
million at interest rates ranging from 3.65125% to 6.15% maturing at various
dates ranging from 2003 to 2007 with a net liability fair value of $16.5
million; and swaps which have been designated as fair value hedges with an
aggregate notional amount of $176.4 million at interest rates ranging from
4.458% to 4.830% maturing at various dates ranging from 2003 to 2004 with a net
asset fair value of $5.6 million.

On March 31, 2001, the net derivative instruments were reported at
their fair value as other liabilities of approximately $10.9 million. Within the
next twelve months the Company expects to recognize an estimated $4.0 million of
accumulated other comprehensive income as additional interest expense.

outstanding Common Shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2001:

</TABLE>

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that
contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a
partnership interest are collectively referred to as the "Minority Interests
- -Operating Partnership". As of March 31, 2001, the Minority Interests -
Operating Partnership held 12,186,865 OP Units. As a result, the Minority
Interests -Operating Partnership had an 8.36% interest in the Operating
Partnership at March 31, 2001. Assuming conversion of all OP Units into
Common Shares, total Common Shares outstanding at March 31, 2001 would have
been 145,714,980.

Net proceeds from the Company's Common Share and Preferred Share
offerings are contributed by the Company to the Operating Partnership in
return for an increased ownership percentage and are treated as capital
transactions in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result,
the net offering proceeds from Common Shares are allocated between
shareholders' equity and Minority Interests - Operating Partnership to
account for the change in their respective percentage ownership of the
underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company, through a
subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued preference units with an
equity value of $35 million, receiving net proceeds of $34.1 million:

- - 510,000 7.875% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preference Units (known
as "Preference Interests") with an equity value of $25.5 million. The
liquidation value of these units is $50 per unit. The 510,000 units are
exchangeable into 510,000 shares of 7.875% Series M-4 Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Company.
Dividends for the Series G Preference Interests or the Series M-4
Preferred Shares are payable quarterly at the rate of $3.9375 per
unit/share per year.

- - 190,000 7.625% Series H Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference
Units with an equity value of $9.5 million. The liquidation value of
these units is $50 per unit. The 190,000 units are exchangeable into
190,000 shares of 7.625% Series M-5 Convertible Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Company or 143,526
Common Shares beginning March 2011. Dividends for the Series H
Preference Interests or the Series M-5 Preferred Shares are payable
quarterly at the rate of $3.8125 per unit/share per year.


8
The value of the Preference Interests are included in Minority
Interests - Operating Partnership in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the
distributions incurred are included in preferred distributions in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Series M-4 Preferred Shares are
not convertible into EQR Common Shares. The Series H Preference Interests and
the Series M-5 Preferred Shares are convertible into EQR Common Shares at a
conversion price ratio of 0.7554 common shares (equal to a conversion price
of $66.19 per share) beginning in March 2011.

On February 23, 2001, the Company entered into a joint venture with an
unaffiliated joint venture partner ("JVP"). At closing, the Company sold and/or
contributed eleven wholly owned properties containing 3,011 units valued at
$202.5 million to the joint venture encumbered with $20.2 million in mortgage
loans obtained on February 16, 2001. An additional $123.6 million of mortgage
loans was obtained by the joint venture. The JVP contributed cash in an amount
equal to 75% of the equity in the joint venture, which was then distributed to
the Company. The Company retained a 25% interest in the joint venture along with
the right to manage the properties. In accordance with the respective joint
venture organization documents, the Company and the JVP both shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to infuse additional cash into the joint venture.
There are no other agreements that require the Company or the JVP to infuse cash
into each joint venture. In addition, the Company and the JVP have not
guaranteed the mortgage indebtedness of the joint venture. As a result, the
Company recognized 75% of the gain on the sales and/or contributions of property
to the joint venture, which totaled approximately $36.5 million. The Company has
classified its initial $3.4 million 25% interest in the joint venture (at
carryover basis) as investments in unconsolidated entities and accounted for it
under the equity method of accounting.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company
sold a vacant parcel of land in Richmond, VA for $11.2 million.

6. Commitments to Acquire/Dispose of Real Estate

As of March 31, 2001, the Company entered into a separate agreement
to acquire one multifamily property containing 125 units from an unaffiliated
party. The Company expects a purchase price of approximately $13.5 million.

As of March 31, 2001, in addition to the Properties that were
subsequently disposed of as discussed in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company entered into separate agreements to dispose
of seventeen multifamily properties containing 3,161 units to unaffiliated
parties. The Company expects a combined disposition price of approximately
$137.2 million.

The closings of these pending transactions are subject to certain
contingencies and conditions; therefore, there can be no assurance that these
transactions will be consummated or that the final terms thereof will not differ
in material respects from those summarized in the preceding paragraphs.

7. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

The Company has entered into two separate joint venture agreements with
third party development companies whereby the Company contributes 25% to 30% of
the development cost to the joint venture in return for preferential returns of
9.0% per annum. The basis of the Company's equity investments in these two joint
ventures was $252.4 million and $235.9 million as of March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000, respectively.

The Company also has various other investments in unconsolidated
entities with ownership interests ranging from 1.5% to 50.0%. The basis of these
equity investments was $80.8 million and $80.6 million as of March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively.

These investments are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various
environmental laws of Federal and local governments. Compliance by the Company
with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. However, the Company cannot
predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on its current
Properties or on properties that it may acquire in the future.

The Company does not believe there is any litigation threatened against
the Company other than routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of
business, some of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance, none
of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.

In regards to the funding of Properties in the development and/or
earnout stage and the joint venture agreements with two multifamily
residential real estate developers, the Company funded a total of $26.4
million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. During the remainder of
2001, the Company expects to fund approximately $70.2 million in connection
with these Properties. In connection with one joint venture agreement, the
Company has an obligation to fund up to an additional $17.5 million to
guarantee third party construction financing. As of March 31, 2001, the
Company has 19 projects under development with estimated completion dates
ranging from June 30, 2001 through March 31, 2003. At any time following the
completion of construction of any development property, the Company's joint
venture partners have the right to cause the Company to acquire their
respective interests in the completed projects at a mutually agreeable price.
If the Company and the joint venture partner are unable to agree on a price,
appraisals will be obtained by both parties. If the appraised values vary by
more than 10%, both the Company and the joint venture partner will agree on a
third appraiser to determine which original appraisal is closest to its
determination of value.

14
In connection with the Wellsford Merger, the Company provided
a credit enhancement with respect to certain tax-exempt bonds issued to finance
certain public improvements at a multifamily development project. As of March
31, 2001, this enhancement was still in effect at a commitment amount of $12.7
million.

(1) The Company's primary business is owning, managing, and operating
multifamily residential properties which includes the generation of
rental and other related income through the leasing of apartment units to
tenants.

(2) The Company has a segment for corporate level activity including such
items as fee and asset management activity, furniture rental/sales
activity, interest income earned on short-term investments and investment
in mortgage notes, investment in technology entities, income earned from
investments in unconsolidated entities, general and administrative
expenses, and interest expense on mortgage notes payable, unsecured note
issuances and lines of credit. The Company's fee and asset management
activity and furniture rental/sales activities are immaterial and do not
meet the threshold requirements of a reportable segment as provided for
in SFAS No. 131. Interest expense on debt is not allocated to individual
Properties, even if the Properties secure such debt. Further, income
allocated to Minority Interests is not allocated to the Properties.

In addition, the Company sold and/or contributed eleven wholly owned
Properties containing 3,011 units to a joint venture entity during the quarter
ended March 31, 2001. The Company retained a 25% interest along with the rights
to manage the joint venture Properties.


18
The Company's overall results of operations for the quarters ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000 have been significantly impacted by the Company's
acquisition and disposition activity. The significant changes in revenues and
expenses can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of Globe, the 2001 and
the 2000 Acquired Properties, partially offset by the disposition of the 2001
and the 2000 Disposed Properties. This impact is discussed in greater detail in
the following paragraphs.

Properties that the Company owned for all of the quarter ended March
31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 (the "First Quarter 2001 Same Store Properties"),
which represented 188,220 units, also impacted the Company's results of
operations and are discussed as well in the following paragraphs.

COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, income before allocation to
Minority Interests, income from investments in unconsolidated entities, net gain
on sales of real estate, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle increased by approximately $16.6 million when compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Rental income from the First Quarter 2001 Same Store Properties
increased by approximately $22.8 million to $439.9 million or 5.46% 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. For the remainder of 2001,
the Company expects to achieve rental income increases of 4.5% to 5.0% from Same
Store Properties. These estimated increases are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties including, but not limited to, maintaining an overall average
occupancy rate of 95%.

Property operating expenses from the First Quarter 2001 Same Store
Properties, which include property and maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance and an allocation of property management expenses, increased
approximately $8.9 million or 5.97%. The increase in "same store" expenses is
primarily attributable to a $3.6 million, or 14.8% increase in utilities and a
$2.1 million, or 5.7% increase in payroll. For the remainder of 2001, the
Company expects to maintain expense growth at no more than 4.25% to 4.75%.

Rental income from non-First Quarter 2001 Same Store Properties
increased by approximately $17.8 million primarily as a result of revenue from
the Globe corporate housing business and the acquisition of Properties during
the periods presented. The Company expects similar trends in the future subject
to certain risks and uncertainties including that any new acquisitions perform
at the Company's pro forma expectations.

Interest and other income increased by approximately $3.0 million,
primarily as a result of disposition proceeds earning interest in various tax
deferred 1031 exchange accounts. These proceeds are invested in money market
investments until the Company purchases additional multi-family properties.

Property management represents expenses associated with the
self-management of the Company's Properties. These expenses decreased by
approximately $0.2 million. The Company continues to acquire properties in major
metropolitan areas and dispose of assets in smaller multi-family rental markets
where the Company does not have a significant management presence. As a result,
the Company is able to achieve economies of scale by not increasing off-site
management expenses as it acquires additional properties.

Fee and asset management revenues and fee and asset management expenses
increased as a result of the Company continuing to manage Properties that were
sold and/or contributed to various joint venture entities. As of March 31, 2001,
the Company currently manages 20,300 units for third parties and the joint
venture entities.


19
Furniture income and furniture expenses are associated with the
operation of the furniture rental business assumed in connection with the Globe
acquisition, which occurred in July 2000. Furniture expenses include a
depreciation charge on furniture held in inventory.

Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
increased approximately $0.2 million. The effective interest cost on all of the
Company's indebtedness for the quarter ending March 31, 2001 was 7.07% as
compared to 7.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. For the remainder of
2001, the Company expects interest rates to decrease slightly due to lower
variable rates. In connection with the refinancing of $280 million of
indebtedness, the Company expects to incur interest costs approximating 7.5% per
annum.

General and administrative expenses, which include corporate operating
expenses, increased approximately $0.1 million between the periods under
comparison. However, by gaining certain economies of scale with a much larger
operation, these expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 1.26% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to 1.39% of total revenues for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000.

Net gain on sales of real estate increased approximately $21.8 million
between the periods under comparison. This increase is primarily the result of
additional Properties sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, which
included fifteen wholly owned Properties; eleven joint venture Properties (75%
gain recognition) and one land sale as compared to eleven wholly owned
Properties sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of January 1, 2001, the Company had approximately $23.8 million of
cash and cash equivalents and the amounts available on the Company's lines of
credit was $400 million, of which $53.5 million was restricted. After taking
into effect the various transactions discussed in the following paragraphs, the
Company's cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2001 was approximately
$104.8 million and the amounts available on the Company's lines of credit was
$755 million, of which $54.9 million was restricted.

Part of the Company's strategy in funding the purchase of multifamily
properties, funding its Properties in the development and/or earnout stage and
the funding of the Company's investment in two joint ventures with multifamily
real estate developers is to utilize its lines of credit and to subsequently
repay the lines of credit from the disposition of Properties or the issuance of
additional equity or debt securities. Utilizing this strategy during the first
three months of 2001, the Company:

- - disposed of fifteen properties and a vacant parcel of land and received
net proceeds of $115.4 million;
- - issued $300 million of unsecured debt receiving net proceeds of $297.4
million;
- - sold and/or contributed eleven properties to a joint venture and
received net proceeds of $190.0 million;
- - issued $35 million of two new series of Preference Interests and
received net proceeds of $34.1 million.

All of these proceeds were utilized to either:

- - repay the lines of credit;
- - repay mortgage indebtedness on selected Properties;
- - invest in unconsolidated entities;
- - purchase additional properties.


20
During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company:

- - repaid approximately $176.7 million of mortgage indebtedness;
- - invested $1 million in a corporate entity;
- - loaned $2.6 million to an unconsolidated entity;
- - funded $26.4 million related to the development, earnout and joint
venture agreements.

Subsequent to March 31, 2001 and through May 1, 2001, the Company:

- - disposed of four Properties consisting of 658 units for approximately
$24.7 million;
- - repaid $6.7 million of mortgage debt at or prior to maturity and/or
disposition of a Property;
- - funded $5.9 million related to the development, earnout, and joint
venture agreements;
- - disposed of $0.9 million of mortgage debt assumed by the purchaser in
connection with the disposition of one property.

During the remainder of 2001, the Company expects to fund
approximately $70.2 million related to the development, earnout and joint
venture agreements. In connection with one joint venture agreement, the
Company has an obligation to fund up to an additional $17.5 million to
guarantee third party construction financing. As of March 31, 2001, the
Company has 19 projects under development with estimated completion dates
ranging from June 30, 2001 through March 31, 2003. At any time following the
completion of construction of any development property, the Company's joint
venture partners have the right to cause the Company to acquire their
respective interests in the completed projects at a mutually agreeable price.
If the Company and the joint venture partner are unable to agree on a price,
appraisals will be obtained by both parties. If the appraised values vary by
more than 10%, both the Company and the joint venture partner will agree on a
third appraiser to determine which original appraisal is closest to its
determination of value.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company's total
improvements to real estate approximated $28.2 million. Of this amount,
approximately $4.5 million, or $89 per unit, related to capital improvements
and major repairs for the 1999, 2000 and 2001 Acquired Properties. Capital
improvements and major repairs for all of the Company's pre-1999 Acquired
Properties approximated $9.9 million or $64 per unit. Capital spent for
replacement-type items approximated $11.4 million, or $56 per unit. In
addition, approximately $1.7 million was spent on seven specific assets
related to major

21
renovations and repositioning of these assets. Also included in total
improvements to real estate was approximately $0.7 million on
commercial/other assets and Partially Owned Properties. Such improvements to
real estate were primarily funded from net cash provided by operating
activities. Total improvements to real estate budgeted for the remainder of
2001 are estimated to be approximately $110.0 million.

Also included in total capital expenditures for the Company was
approximately $1.8 million for non-real estate additions such as computer
software, computer equipment, and furniture and fixtures and leasehold
improvements to the Company's property management offices and its corporate
offices. Such additions to non-real estate property were primarily funded from
net cash provided by operating activities. Total additions to non-real estate
property budgeted for the remainder of 2001 are estimated to be approximately
$4.2 million.

The Company, through its Globe subsidiary, has a policy of capitalizing
expenditures made for rental furniture and property and equipment. Globe
purchases furniture to replace furniture that has been sold and to maintain
adequate levels of rental furniture to meet existing and new customer needs.
Expenditures for property and equipment that significantly enhance the value of
existing assets or substantially extend the useful life of an asset are also
capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs related to
property and equipment are expensed as incurred. For the quarter ended March 31,
2001, total additions to rental furniture approximated $6.3 million and property
and equipment approximated $0.7 million. Total additions to rental furniture and
property and equipment budgeted for the remainder of 2001 are estimated to be
approximately $18.0 million.

Minority Interests as of March 31, 2001 increased by $24.7 million when
compared to December 31, 2000. The primary factors that impacted this account
during the quarter were:

- - distributions declared to Minority Interests, which amounted to $9.9
million for the quarter (excluding preference unit/interest
distributions);
- - the allocation of income from operations in the amount of $9.8 million;
- - the allocation of Minority Interests from Partially Owned Properties in
the amount of $0.1 million;
- - the conversion of OP Units into Common Shares; and
- - the issuance of Common Shares, OP Units and Preference Interests during
the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Total distributions paid in April 2001 amounted to
approximately $143.3 million, which included distributions declared for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements, including capital expenditures related to maintaining its existing
Properties and certain scheduled unsecured note and mortgage note repayments,
generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities
and borrowings under its lines of credit. The Company considers its cash
provided by operating activities to be adequate to meet operating requirements
and payments of distributions. The Company also expects to meet its long-term
liquidity requirements, such as scheduled unsecured note and mortgage debt
maturities, property acquisitions, financing of construction and development
activities and capital improvements through the issuance of unsecured notes and
equity securities including additional OP Units as well as from undistributed
FFO and proceeds received from the disposition of certain Properties. In
addition, the Company has certain uncollateralized Properties available for
additional mortgage borrowings in the event that the public capital markets are
unavailable to the Company or the cost of alternative sources of capital to the
Company is too high.

The Company has a revolving credit facility with Bank of America
Securities LLC and Chase Securities Inc. acting as joint lead arrangers to
provide the Operating Partnership with potential borrowings of up to $700
million. As of May 1, 2001, no amounts were outstanding under this facility.


22
In connection with the Globe Acquisition, the Company assumed a
revolving credit facility with Fifth Third Bank with potential borrowings of
up to $55.0 million. As of May 1, 2001, no amounts were outstanding under
this facility.

In connection with the Wellsford Merger, the Company provided
a credit enhancement with respect to certain tax-exempt bonds issued to finance
certain public improvements at a multifamily development project. As of May 1,
2001, this enhancement was still in effect at a commitment amount of $12.7
million.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from Operations ("FFO") represents net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP")), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and investments in
technology segments, 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.

The Company 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 Company
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 Company'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 Company'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 Company'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.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, FFO available to Common
Shares and OP Units-basic increased by $22.3 million, or 13.1% when compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
