DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS:

         Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q are as defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999 ("Form 10-K").

1.       BUSINESS

         Equity Residential Properties Trust, formed in March 1993 ("EQR"), is a
self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT").
As used herein, 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
term "Company" also includes Globe Business Resources, Inc. ("Globe") (the
"Globe Merger") and Temporary Quarters, Inc. ("TQ") (the "TQ Merger"). The
Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         The Company is engaged in the acquisition, disposition, ownership,
management and operation of multifamily properties. As of September 30, 2000,
the Company owned or had interests in a portfolio of 1,056 multifamily
properties containing 222,699 apartment units (individually a "Property" and
collectively the "Properties") consisting of the following:

</TABLE>

         The "Partially Owned Properties" are controlled and partially owned by
the Company but have partners with minority interests (see further discussion in
Notes 4 and 5). The "Unconsolidated Properties" are partially owned but not
controlled by the Company and consist of investments in partnership interests
and/or subordinated mortgages that are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. The Properties are located in 35 states throughout the United
States.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("Statement No. 133"). Statement
No. 133 requires recording all derivative instruments as assets or
liabilities, measured at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the
hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized
in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value
will be immediately recognized in earnings. The standard's effective date was
deferred by FASB Statement No. 137 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt the standard effective
January 1, 2001, and does not anticipate that the adoption will have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flows as of and
for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2000 represent the
consolidated financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries.

         Due to the Company's ability as general partner to control either
through ownership or by contract the Operating Partnership, a series of
management limited partnerships and companies (collectively, the "Management
Partnerships" or the "Management Companies"), the Financing Partnerships, the
LLC's, Globe and certain other entities. Each such entity has been consolidated
with the Company for financial reporting purposes. In regard to the Management
Companies, the Company 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.

         These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company 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 Company'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.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         On July 11, 2000, the Company acquired Globe in an all cash and debt
transaction. Globe provides fully furnished short-term housing through an
inventory of leased housing units to transferring or temporarily assigned
corporate personnel, new hires, trainees, consultants and individual customers
throughout the United States. Additionally, Globe rents and sells furniture to a
diversified base of commercial and residential customers throughout the United
States. Shareholders of Globe received $13.00 per share, which approximated
$58.7 million in cash based on the 4.5 million Globe shares outstanding. In
addition, the Company:

         -    Acquired $94.8 million in other Globe assets and assumed $29.2
              million in other Globe liabilities.

         -    Allocated $68.0 million to goodwill and $0.4 million to other
              intangible assets, representing the estimated fair value of
              existing covenants not to compete at the merger date;

         -    Recorded merger costs of $4.5 million; and

         -    Assumed $70.8 million in debt, which included $1.4 million in
              mortgage debt, $39.9 million in unsecured notes, and Globe's line
              of credit totaling $29.5 million;

         On July 21, 2000, the Company, through its Globe subsidiary, acquired
TQ, the leading corporate housing provider in Atlanta, Georgia, in a $3.3
million all cash transaction.

         The Company accounted for both the Globe Merger and the TQ Merger as
purchases in accordance with Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 16.
Significant accounting policies relating to corporate housing and furniture
rental/sales are as follows:

RENTAL FURNITURE

         Rental furniture is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis at a rate of 1% per month, which is designed to approximate an estimated
useful life of four years with provision for a 50% residual value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation expense is
provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to ten
years.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

         Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 20
years. Other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
ranging from 3 to 5 years. The Company periodically reviews goodwill and other
intangibles for impairment. If a permanent decline in value has occurred, such
impairment would be calculated based on discounted cash flows. Accumulated
amortization of

goodwill and other intangibles was $0.8 million at September 30, 2000.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Leased housing unit rentals vary in terms from a few days to several
months. Leases of furniture generally have an initial term of three to six
months in duration and can be extended by the customer on a month-to-month
basis. Leased housing unit rentals and furniture rentals are accounted for as
operating leases, and revenue is recorded in the month earned. For sales of
furniture, as well as rental buyouts, revenue and related cost of sales are
recorded when the furniture is delivered or taken off lease. Revenues from both
furniture rentals and sales are included in furniture income while the
associated costs of those rentals and sales are included in furniture operating
costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

INCOME TAXES

         In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", deferred taxes are provided for all differences
between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities using the enacted tax rate. A valuation allowance is provided for
deferred tax assets, which are more likely than not unrealizable.

         On January 19, 2000, the Company paid $1.25 million to acquire an
additional ownership interest in LFT's Guilford portfolio (14 properties
containing 2,995 units located in four states). The transaction was effective on
January 1, 2000. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Company accounted for this
portfolio under the equity method of accounting. As a result of this additional
ownership acquisition, the Company acquired a controlling interest, and as such,
now consolidates these properties for financial reporting purposes. The Company
recorded additional investments in real estate totaling $69.4 million in
connection with this transaction.

         On August 7, 2000, the Company funded approximately $30.9 million
for an ownership interest in Laguna Clara Apartments, a 264-unit property
located in Santa Clara, California. As the Company cannot exercise unilateral
control over major decisions, this property has been classified as an
investment in unconsolidated joint venture and accounted for under the equity
method.

               -    settled on a $100 million forward starting swap and received
                    $7.1 million. This amount is being amortized over the life

(1)  The Company's primary reportable business segment 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, income earned from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures,
     general and administrative expenses and interest expense on mortgage notes
     payable, unsecured notes and lines of credit. The Company's fee and asset
     management and furniture rental/sales activities are immaterial and do not
     meet the threshold requirements of reportable segments as provided for in
     Statement 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.

         On October 11, 2000, the Company acquired Waterford at Manderin II, a
vacant land parcel located adjacent to Waterford at Manderin Phase I in
Jacksonville, FL, from an unaffiliated party for a total purchase price of
approximately $0.5 million.

         On October 31, 2000, the Company closed on its acquisition of Grove
Property Trust ("Grove"). Grove's portfolio of 60 properties contains 7,308
units located in three New England states. As provided in the Company's merger
agreement with Grove, each Grove common share was exchanged for $17.00 (cash)
and each Grove operating partnership unit was exchanged for cash in the same
amount or 0.3696 units in the Company's Operating Partnership at the option of
the holder. As a result, the Company paid approximately $174.0 million in cash
and issued approximately 0.3 million OP Units. In addition, the Company assumed
approximately $241.4 million in Grove debt, of which $45.8 million was paid off
immediately following the close of the merger.

         On November 1, 2000, the Company acquired Centre Club Apartments, a
312-unit multifamily property located in Ontario, CA, from an unaffiliated party
for a total purchase price of approximately $31.1 million.

         The Company's overall results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been significantly impacted by the Company's
acquisition and disposition activity, including the Globe Merger. The
significant changes in rental revenues, property and maintenance expenses, real
estate taxes and insurance, depreciation expense, property management and
interest expense can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of the 1999
Acquired Properties, the 2000 Acquired

Properties and the Globe Merger, partially offset by the disposition of the 1999
Disposed Properties and the 2000 Disposed Properties.

         Properties that the Company owned for all of both the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 (the "Nine-Month 2000
Same Store Properties"), which represented 163,368 units, also impacted the
Company's results of operations. Properties that the Company owned for all of
both the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 (the
"Third-Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties"), which represented 167,740 units,
also impacted the Company's results of operations. Both the Nine-Month 2000 Same
Store Properties and Third-Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties are discussed in
the following paragraphs.

         COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income before gain on
disposition of properties, net, extraordinary item, allocation to Minority
Interests and provision for income taxes increased by approximately $47.1
million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase
was primarily due to the acquisition of the 1999 Acquired Properties, the 2000
Acquired Properties and the Globe Merger, 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 Nine-Month 2000 Same Store Properties, total revenues
increased by approximately $47.5 million to $1.1 billion or 4.34% 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 $9.0 million or 2.22%. 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 Company's Properties. These expenses increased by
approximately $13.4 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.

         Fee and asset management revenues and fee and asset management expenses
are associated with the management of Unconsolidated Properties. These revenues
increased by approximately $1.3 million, but were offset by an increase in
expenses of approximately $1.3 million when compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.

         Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
increased by approximately $45.1 million. This increase was primarily the result
of a $661.7 million increase in the Company's average indebtedness outstanding.
The effective interest cost on all of the Company's indebtedness for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 was 7.23% as compared to 6.97% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

         General and administrative expenses, which include corporate operating
expenses, increased approximately $3.7 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 1.28% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 1.24% of total revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

         COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 TO QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, income before gain on
disposition of properties, net, extraordinary item, allocation to Minority
Interests and provision for income taxes increased by approximately $21.3
million when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of the 1999 Acquired Properties, the 2000
Acquired Properties and the Globe Merger, 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 Third-Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties, total
revenues increased by approximately $19.4 million or 5.12% 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 $4.5 million or 3.12%. 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 and insurance costs.

         Property management represents expenses associated with the
self-management of the Company's Properties. These expenses increased by
approximately $3.6 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.

         Fee and asset management revenues and fee and asset management expenses
are associated with the management of Unconsolidated Properties. These revenues
increased by approximately $0.9 million, but were offset by an increase in
expenses of approximately $0.9 million when compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1999.

         Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs,
increased by approximately $12.3 million. This increase was primarily the result
of a $491.4 million increase in the Company's average indebtedness outstanding.
The effective interest cost on all of the Company's indebtedness for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 was 7.25% as compared to 6.95% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999.

         General and administrative expenses, which include corporate operating
expenses, increased approximately $1.2 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 1.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
compared to 1.15% of total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of January 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $29.1 million of
cash and cash equivalents and the amount available on the Company's line of
credit was $400 million, of which $65.8

million was restricted. After taking into effect the various transactions
discussed in the following paragraphs, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
balance at September 30, 2000 was approximately $56.2 million and the amount
available on the Company's lines of credit was $721.4 million, of which $51.3
million was restricted. The following discussion also explains the changes in
net cash provided by operating activities, net cash (used for) investing
activities and net cash (used for) financing activities, all of which are
presented in the Company's Statements of Cash Flows.

         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
nine months of 2000, the Company:

         -    obtained new mortgage financing on eleven previously unencumbered
              properties and received net proceeds of $147.7 million;

         -    disposed of thirty properties (including the sale of the
              Company's entire interest in three Unconsolidated Properties) and
              received net proceeds of $360.4 million;

         -    sold and/or contributed twenty-one properties to two separate
              joint ventures and received net proceeds of $60.5 million;

         -    issued approximately 0.9 million Common Shares and received net
              proceeds of $24.9 million;

         -    issued the Series B, C, D and E Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
              Preference Units and received net proceeds of $133.6 million; and

         -    obtained new mortgage financing on twenty-one previously
              unencumbered properties and received net proceeds of $217.2
              million.

         All of these proceeds were utilized to either:

         -    repay the lines of credit;

         -    repay mortgage indebtedness on certain Properties and/or repay
              unsecured notes;

         -    provide funding for properties in the development and/or earnout
              stage including properties subject to the joint venture
              agreements; and/or

         -    purchase additional properties.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company:

         -    repaid four unsecured notes totaling $208.0 million;

         -    repaid approximately $119.4 million of mortgage indebtedness on
              sixty-one Properties;

         -    settled on a $100 million interest rate protection agreement and
              received approximately $7.1 million in connection therewith. This
              amount is being amortized over the life of the financing for the
              eleven previously unencumbered Properties that occurred on March
              20, 2000;

         -    funded $103.3 million related to the development, earnout and
              joint venture agreements;

         -    purchased eighteen Properties for a total purchase price of
              approximately $257.0 million;

         -    funded $1.25 million to acquire an additional ownership interest
              in LFT's Guilford portfolio; and

         -    acquired $25.0 million of 8.25% preferred securities of WRP
              Convertible Trust I, an affiliate of WRP Newco.

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

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company had total indebtedness of
approximately $5.2 billion, which included mortgage indebtedness of $3.0 billion
(including premiums of $2.6 million), of which $836.6 million represented
tax-exempt bond indebtedness, and unsecured debt of $2.1 billion (including net
discounts and premiums in the amount of $1.6 million), of which $127.8 million
represented tax-exempt bond indebtedness.

         Subsequent to September 30, 2000 and through November 6, 2000, the
Company:

         -    repaid and/or the purchaser assumed the outstanding mortgage
              balance on three Properties totaling approximately $10.6 million;

         -    disposed of seventeen properties for a total sales price of
              $245.0 million;

         -    acquired one property containing 312 units and a vacant land
              parcel for a total purchase price of approximately $31.6 million;
              and

         -    acquired Grove for cash of approximately $174.0 million and
              assumed approximately $241.4 million in Grove debt, of which
              $45.8 million was paid off immediately following the close of the
              merger.

         During the remainder of 2000, the Company expects to fund $55.4 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.

         The Company has a policy of capitalizing expenditures made for new real
estate assets, including newly acquired properties and the costs associated with
placing these assets into service. Expenditures for improvements and renovations
to real estate that significantly enhance the value of existing assets or
substantially extend the useful life of an asset are also capitalized.
Expenditures for in-the-unit replacement-type items such as appliances,
draperies, carpeting and floor coverings, mechanical equipment and certain
furniture and fixtures are also capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary
maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. With respect to
acquired properties, the Company has determined that it generally spends $1,000
per unit during its first three years of ownership to fully improve and enhance
these properties to meet the Company's standards. In regard to replacement-type
items described above, the Company generally expects to spend $250 per unit on
an annual recurring basis.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's total
improvements to real estate approximated $100.3 million. Of this amount,
approximately $24.8 million, or $254 per unit, related to capital improvements
and major repairs for the 1998, 1999 and 2000 Acquired Properties. Capital
improvements and major repairs for all of the Company's pre-EQR IPO properties
and 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 Acquired Properties approximated $25.5
million, or $227 per unit. Capital spent for replacement-type items approximated
$42.5 million, or $202 per unit. In addition, approximately $5.3 million was
spent on eight specific assets related to major renovations and repositioning of
these assets. Also included in total improvements to real estate was
approximately $0.7 million spent on commercial/other assets, $1.4 million spent
on the Partially Owned Properties and $0.1 million spent on properties that were
sold prior to 2000. Such improvements to real estate were primarily funded from
working capital reserves and from net cash provided by operating activities.
Total improvements to real estate for the remaining portion of 2000 are
estimated to be approximately $16.4 million.

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

         The Company, through it's Globe subsidiary, has a policy for
capitalizing expenditures made for rental furniture and property and equipment,
including new acquisitions and the costs associated with placing these assets
into service. 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 capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs
related to property and equipment are expensed as incurred. For the period July
11, 2000 through September 30, 2000, total additions to rental furniture and
property and equipment approximated $7.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Such additions to rental furniture and property and equipment were primarily
funded from working capital reserves and from net cash provided by operating
activities. Total additions to rental furniture and property and equipment for
the remaining portion of 2000 are estimated to be approximately $6.4 million.

         Also included in total capital expenditures was approximately $3.9
million expended for non-real estate additions such as computer software,
computer equipment, and furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements for
the Company's property management offices and its corporate headquarters. Such
additions to non-real estate property were primarily funded from working capital
reserves and from net cash provided by operating activities. Total additions to
non-real estate property for the remaining portion of 2000 are estimated to be
approximately $1.3 million.

         Minority Interests as of September 30, 2000 increased by $135.5 million
when compared to December 31, 1999. The primary factors that contributed to
changes in the book value of Minority Interests during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were:

         -    distributions declared to Minority Interests, which amounted to
              $28.8 million for the nine months (excluding preference
              unit/interest distributions);

         -    the allocation of income from operations in the amount of $35.8
              million;

         -    the allocation of Minority Interests from Partially Owned
              Properties in the amount of $2.9 million;

         -    the conversion of OP Units into Common Shares; and

         -    the issuance of Common Shares, OP Units and Preference Interests
              during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

         Total distributions paid in October 2000 amounted to approximately
$141.5 million, which included distributions declared for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000.

         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 undistributed FFO and proceeds received from the
disposition of certain Properties and/or through the issuance of unsecured notes
and equity securities including additional OP Units. 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 November 6, 2000, $250 million was outstanding under this
facility at a weighted average interest rate of 7.06%.

         In connection with the Globe Merger, the Company assumed a revolving
credit facility with Fifth Third Bank with potential borrowings of up to $55.0
million. This line of credit matures on May 31, 2003. As of November 6, 2000,
$42.2 million was outstanding under this facility at a weighted average interest
rate of 8.92%.

         In connection with the Wellsford Merger, the Company provided a $14.8
million credit enhancement with respect to certain tax-exempt bonds issued to
finance certain public improvements at a multifamily development project. As of
November 6, 2000, this enhancement was still in effect.

         Pursuant to the terms of a capital investment in Constellation Real
Technologies, LLC ("Constellation"), the Company has a funding commitment of
$12.3 million as of September 30, 2000. Constellation's primary objectives will
be to serve as incubator for real estate technology companies and to provide a
platform for pooling of its investor's purchasing power. The Company's current
equity ownership interest in Constellation is 9.999% as of November 6, 2000.

         Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement with Wellsford Real
Properties, Inc. ("WRP Newco"), the Company had agreed to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of WRP Newco Series A Preferred at $25.00 per share on a
standby basis over a three-year period ending on May 30, 2000. This agreement
was terminated on May 5, 2000, and, as such, the Company has no further
obligations under this agreement.

         On May 5, 2000, the Company acquired $25.0 million of 8.25% preferred
securities of WRP Convertible Trust I, an affiliate of WRP Newco. These
preferred securities are indirectly convertible into WRP Newco common shares
under certain circumstances.

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, 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 Company's calculation of FFO for either the
current or prior periods presented.

         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.

         FFO per share and OP Unit is presented giving affect to the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share".

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, FFO available to Common
Shares and OP Units increased by $84.9 million, or 18.8%, and FFO per share and
OP Unit - diluted increased by $0.39, or 11.7%, when compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

         For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, FFO available to Common
Shares and OP Units increased by $31.0 million, or 19.9%, and FFO per share and
OP Unit - diluted increased by $0.14, or 12.4%, when compared to the quarter
ended September 30, 1999.

         The following is a reconciliation of net income to FFO available to
Common Shares and OP Units for the nine months and quarters ended September 30,
2000 and 1999:
