These assets were acquired in the John M. Sachs merger in 2002.

Development

Development activity has progressed consistent with the Company’s 2006 business plan. Currently the development pipeline has over 2,700 units in various stages of development with a total estimated cost of over $700 million. Additional information pertaining to the geographic locations, as well as the ownership interests in these projects can be found on page S-9 in the Company’s Financial Supplemental package.

Redevelopment Activities

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had six redevelopment communities (1,450 apartment units) in various stages of renovation, with estimated redevelopment costs of $36.9 million, compared to redevelopment communities (1,797 apartment units), with estimated costs of $21.7 million as of March 31, 2005. The Company expects to produce a 10% - 12% incremental return on the invested capital on each of these projects.

Essex Apartment Value Fund II, L.P.

In April, the Essex Apartment Value Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”) acquired two land parcels including a 1.26 acre parcel of land, fully entitled for 149 apartment units, located in Studio City, California for a contract price of approximately $21.0 million, and a 0.9 acre parcel of fully entitled land for 127 units, located in Seattle, Washington, for a contract price of $5.5 million. The combined estimated cost to develop these two parcels is $82.8 million.

In April, Fund II acquired Davey Glen, a 69-unit apartment community located in Belmont, California for approximately $13.5 million.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

During the quarter, the Company’s operating partnership, Essex Portfolio, L.P., a California limited partnership, amended its unsecured revolving line of credit from $185 million, which was due to mature in April 2007, to a maximum commitment amount of $200 million, with a three-year term and a one-year extension. The underlying interest rate on this line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company’s corporate rating and is currently LIBOR plus 80 basis points, compared to LIBOR plus 100 basis points on the previous line of credit. The

amended line of credit will be used to fund development, and redevelopment activities, Fund II capital commitments, and general working capital purposes.

Essex's total market capitalization as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $4.3 billion. A detailed calculation of such market capitalization is included in the Company’s supplemental financial information, which can be obtained on the Company’s web site. The Company’s mortgage notes payable had an average maturity of 8.5 years and an overall average interest rate of 6.1%. In February 2006, the Company entered into three, ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps totaling a notional amount of $125 million with settlement dates of January 2009 for $25 million, and January 2011 for $100 million. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had five, ten-year forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $225 million with rates ranging from 4.9% to 5.1% and settlement dates from October 2007 through January 2011. These derivatives effectively hedge over 50% of the fixed rate debt maturities through 2010 and have a fair value, as of March 31, 2006, of approximately $7 million.

On February 23, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.12 per share annualized increase to its quarterly cash dividend. The first quarter dividend distribution of $0.84 per share, was payable on April 17, 2006 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2006. On an annualized basis, the dividend represents a distribution of $3.36 per common share.

Guidance

The Company has increased its 2006 FFO guidance range to $4.75 - $4.87 per diluted share from its previous guidance of $4.65 - $4.85 per diluted share. These revisions reflect the better than expected regional and national economic strength that is currently benefiting the Company’s targeted West Coast markets.

Funds from Operations Reconciliation

Funds from Operations, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) is generally considered by industry analysts as an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. Generally, FFO adjusts the net income of equity REITS for non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of rental properties, gains/ losses on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO to be a useful financial performance measurement of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the REIT's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders. FFO also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined under GAAP. Management has consistently applied the NAREIT definition of Funds from Operations to all periods presented; however, Funds from Operations as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to the Company's calculation of FFO.
