The Board of Trustees of
Equity Residential Properties Trust

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
Cascade at Landmark (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the
Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in Equity Residential Properties Trust's
Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses for the year
     ended December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 through May 21,
     1997 (unaudited) were prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying
     financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of
     Cascade at Landmark for the periods presented as certain expenses, which
     may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by Equity Residential
     Properties Trust and its subsidiaries (the "Company") in the proposed
     future operations of Cascade at Landmark, have been excluded. Expenses
     excluded consist of interest, depreciation and amortization, professional
     fees and other costs not directly related to the future operations of
     Cascade at Landmark.

     In preparation of the Property's Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses
     in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
     makes estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenue
     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
     tenants, generally on a straight line basis.

     Cascade at Landmark had a management agreement with a management company
     unaffiliated with the Company through the acquisition date to maintain and
     manage the operations of the apartment complex. Management fees were based
     on 5% of total income. Of the management fees paid in 1996, $160,288 were
     paid to an affiliate of the property owner. Upon acquisition of Cascade at
     Landmark by the Company, such management contract was cancelled at which
     time the Company began to manage Cascade at Landmark.

         The following property is included in the statements of revenue and 
         certain expenses:

     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
     tenants, generally on a straight line basis.

     Wood Creek had a management agreement with a management company
     unaffiliated with the Company through the acquisition date to maintain and
     manage the operations of the apartment complex. Management fees were based
     on 5% of total income. Of the management fees paid in 1996, $119,000 were
     paid to an affiliate of the property owner. Upon acquisition of Wood Creek
     by the Company, such management contract was cancelled at which time the
     Company began to manage Wood Creek.

                        Report of Independent Auditors
                                        
The Board of Trustees of
Equity Residential Properties Trust

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
LaMirage (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Statement of
Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the Property's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the basis of accounting used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in Equity Residential Properties Trust's
Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses
described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                            NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF
                         REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses for the year
     ended December 31, 1996 and the six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited)
     were prepared for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial
     statements are not representative of the actual operations of La Mirage for
     the periods presented as certain expenses, which may not be comparable to
     the expenses to be incurred by Equity Residential Properties Trust and its
     subsidiaries (the "Company") in the proposed future operations of La
     Mirage, have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of interest,
     depreciation and amortization, professional fees and other costs not
     directly related to the future operations of La Mirage.

     In preparation of the Property's Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses
     in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
     makes estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenue
     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
     tenants, generally on a straight line basis.

     La Mirage had a management agreement with a management company unaffiliated
     with the Company through the acquisition date to maintain and manage the
     operations of the apartment complex. Management fees were based on 3% of
     total income. Of the management fees paid in 1996, $353,393 were paid to an
     affiliate of the property owner. Upon acquisition of La Mirage by the
     Company, such management contract was cancelled at which time the Company
     began to manage La Mirage.
