SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES 5 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS: 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 the year ended December 31, 1999 ("Form 10-K"). 1. BUSINESS ERP Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), an 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, 1993 and is the general partner of the Operating Partnership. 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 Operating Partnership is engaged in the acquisition, disposition, ownership, management and operation of multifamily properties. As of March 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership owned or had interests in a portfolio of 1,052 multifamily properties containing 223,724 apartment units (individually a "Property" and collectively the "Properties") consisting of the following:
Number of Properties Number of Units ---------------------------------- ---------------- ----------------- Wholly Owned Properties 975 212,414 Partially Owned Properties 14 2,995 Unconsolidated Properties 63 8,315 ---------------- ----------------- Total Properties 1,052 223,724 ================ =================
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 quarter ended March 31, 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. 6 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 The following table presents the changes in the Operating Partnership's issued and outstanding OP Units for the quarter ended March 31, 2000:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Operating Partnership's OP Units outstanding at January 1, 139,934,540 ISSUED TO GENERAL PARTNER: Conversion of Series E Preferred Shares 778 Conversion of Series H Preferred Shares 60,958 Conversion of Series J Preferred Shares 26,628 Employee Share Purchase Plan 79,720 Dividend Reinvestment - DRIP Plan 193 Share Purchase - DRIP Plan 4,303 Exercise of options 52,779 Restricted share grants, net 235,002 ISSUED TO LIMITED PARTNERS: Issuance through acquisitions 17,088 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S OP UNITS OUTSTANDING AT MARCH 31, 140,411,989 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
As of March 31, 2000, OP Units outstanding totaled 140,411,989. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 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 12,465,971 OP Units. As of March 31, 2000, EQR (as the general partner) had an approximate 91.12% interest and the Limited Partners had an approximate 8.88% 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. 7 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) The Guilford portfolio properties (see further discussion in Note 4) are controlled and partially owned by the Operating Partnership but have partners with minority interests. Effective January 1, 2000, the Operating Partnership has included 100% of the financial condition and results of operations of these Partially Owned Properties in the Consolidated Financial Statements due to an increased ownership interest in these properties. The equity interests of the unaffiliated partners are reflected as Minority Interests Partially Owned Properties.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Operating Partnership, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various environmental laws of Federal and local governments. Compliance by the Operating Partnership with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's financial condition and results of operations. However, the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership does not believe there is any litigation threatened against the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership. 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 Operating Partnership funded a total of $48.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. During the remainder of 2000, the Operating 16 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) Partnership expects to fund approximately $71.9 million in connection with these Properties. In connection with one joint venture agreement, the Operating Partnership has an obligation to fund up to an additional $20 million to guarantee third party construction financing. In connection with the Wellsford Merger, the Operating Partnership 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 March 31, 2000, this enhancement was still in effect. 13. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The following tables set forth the reconciliation of net income and total assets for the Operating Partnership's reportable segments for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

(1) The Operating Partnership has one primary reportable business segment, which consists of investment in rental real estate. The Operating Partnership'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 Operating Partnership has a segment for corporate level activity including such items as interest income earned on short-term investments, interest income earned on investment in mortgage notes, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense on mortgage notes payable and unsecured note issuances. In addition, the Operating Partnership has a segment for third party management activity that is immaterial and does not meet the threshold requirements of a reportable segment as provided for in Statement No. 131. Interest expense on debt is not allocated to individual Properties, even if the Properties secure such debt. 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 5, 2000, the Operating Partnership acquired Alborada Apartments, a 442-unit multifamily property located in Fremont, CA, from an unaffiliated party for a total purchase price of $83.5 million. 18 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) On April 20, 2000, the Operating Partnership disposed of Village of Sycamore Ridge Apartments, a 114-unit multifamily property located in Memphis, TN, to an unaffiliated party for a total sales price of $5.2 million. On April 28, 2000, the Operating Partnership disposed of Towne Centre III & IV Apartments, 220-unit and 342-unit multifamily properties, respectively, located in Laurel, MD, to an unaffiliated party for a total sales price of $29.2 million. Mortgage debt on these two properties totaling $15.2 million ($5.9 million on Towne Centre III and $9.3 million on Towne Centre IV) was fully paid off using a portion of the proceeds from the disposition of both properties. On May 1, 2000, Lexford Properties, L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued 420,000 units of 8.375% Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Units (also known as "Preference Interests") with an equity value of $21.0 million. Lexford Properties, L.P. received $20.5 million in net proceeds from this transaction. The liquidation value of these units is $50 per unit. The 420,000 units are exchangeable into 420,000 shares of 8.375% Series M-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest of EQR. The Series M-2 Preferred Shares are not convertible into EQR Common Shares. Dividends for the Series D Preference Interests or the Series M-2 Preferred Shares are payable quarterly at the rate of $4.1875 per unit/share per year. On May 1, 2000, the Operating Partnership repaid the outstanding mortgage balances on 51 separate Properties totaling $76.4 million. On May 2, 2000, EQR announced that it will redeem all of its issued and outstanding Series J Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest on June 2, 2000. At that time, the preferred shares will be redeemed for such number of common shares as are issuable at a conversion rate of 0.6136 of a common share of EQR for each Series J Preferred Share. At the same time, the Series J Preference Units will be redeemed for OP Units. Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement with Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. ("WRP Newco"), the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership has no further obligations under this agreement. On May 5, 2000, the Operating Partnership acquired an aggregate principal amount of $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. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company expects to close on its acquisition, in an all cash and debt transaction, of Globe Business Resources, Inc. ("Globe"), one of the nation's largest providers of temporary corporate housing and furniture rental. Shareholders of Globe will receive $13.00 per share upon closing, which would approximate $62.4 million in cash based on the 4.8 million Globe shares currently outstanding. In addition, the Operating Partnership will assume approximately $66.4 million in debt. The acquisition does not require approval of the Company's shareholders but does require Globe shareholder approval. 19 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART I ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Operating Partnership should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Due to the Operating Partnership's ability to control the Management Partnerships and Management Companies, the Financing Partnerships, the LLC's, and certain other entities, each entity has been consolidated with the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined are as defined in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership sold its entire interest in two Unconsolidated Properties containing 338 units for approximately $4.4 million. 20 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 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 quarters ended March 31, 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, partially offset by the disposition of the 1999 Disposed Properties and the 2000 Disposed Properties. The impact of the 1999 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 the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 (the "First Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties"), which represented 174,261 units, also impacted the Operating Partnership's results of operations and are discussed as well in the following paragraphs. COMPARISON OF QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, income before gain on disposition of properties, net and allocation to Minority Interests increased by $8.9 million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 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 Quarter 2000 Same Store Properties, total revenues increased by approximately $14.4 million to $398.0 million or 3.75% 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 million or 1.83%. 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 million primarily due to the property management business obtained through the LFT Merger. Fee and asset management revenues and fee and asset management 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. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, increased by approximately $16.4 million. This increase was primarily the result of an $813.5 million increase in the Operating Partnership's average indebtedness outstanding. The effective interest cost on all of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 was 7.15% as compared to 7.04% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. 21 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) General and administrative expenses, which include corporate operating expenses, increased approximately $0.9 million between the periods under comparison. This increase was primarily due to recording higher compensation expense related to the issuance of the Company's restricted shares. However, by gaining certain economies of scale with a much larger operation, these expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 1.38% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to 1.39% of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of January 1, 2000, the Operating Partnership had approximately $29.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $400 million available on its line of credit, of which $65.8 million was restricted. After taking into effect the various transactions discussed in the following paragraphs, the Operating Partnership's cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2000 was approximately $72.5 million and the amount available on the Operating Partnership's line of credit was $700 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 Operating Partnership's Statements of Cash Flows. Part of the Operating Partnership's strategy in funding the purchase of multifamily properties, funding its Properties in the development and/or earnout stage and the funding of the Operating Partnership's investment in two joint ventures with multifamily real estate developers is to utilize its line of credit and to subsequently repay the line 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 2000, the Operating Partnership: - obtained new mortgage financing on eleven previously unencumbered properties and received net proceeds of $147.7 million; - disposed of eleven properties (including the sale of the Operating Partnership's entire interest in two Unconsolidated Properties) and received net proceeds of $96.6 million; - issued approximately 0.1 million Common Shares and received net proceeds of $6.9 million; and - issued the 8.50% Series B and C Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Units and received net proceeds of $64.3 million. All of these proceeds were utilized to either: - repay the line of credit; - repay mortgage indebtedness on certain Properties; - provide funding for properties in the development and/or earnout stage including the joint venture agreements; and/or - purchase one additional property. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership: - repaid approximately $12.8 million of mortgage indebtedness on three 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 22 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) for the eleven previously unencumbered Properties that occurred in March 2000; - funded $48.4 million related to the development, earnout and joint venture agreements; - purchased one Property for a total purchase price of approximately $10.3 million; and - funded $1.25 million to acquire an additional ownership interest in LFT's Guilford portfolio. As of March 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership had total indebtedness of approximately $5.4 billion, which included mortgage indebtedness of $3.1 billion (including premiums of $3.1 million), of which $837.4 million represented tax-exempt bond indebtedness, and unsecured debt of $2.3 billion (including net discounts and premiums in the amount of $2.2 million), of which $127.8 million represented tax-exempt bond indebtedness. Subsequent to March 31, 2000 and through May 10, 2000, the Operating Partnership: - repaid the outstanding mortgage balances on 53 Properties totaling approximately $91.6 million; - disposed of three properties for a total sales price of $34.4 million; - acquired one property containing 442 units for a total purchase price of approximately $83.5 million; and - issued the 8.375% Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preference Units and received net proceeds of $20.5 million. During the remainder of 2000, the Operating Partnership expects to fund $71.9 million related to the development, earnout and joint venture agreements. In connection with one joint venture agreement, the Operating Partnership has an obligation to fund up to an additional $20 million to guarantee third party construction financing. The Operating Partnership has a policy of capitalizing expenditures made for new assets, including newly acquired properties and the costs associated with placing these assets into service. Expenditures for improvements and renovations 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 Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership's standards. In regard to replacement-type items described above, the Operating Partnership generally expects to spend $250 per unit on an annual recurring basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, total capital expenditures for the Operating Partnership approximated $28.2 million. Of this amount, approximately $5.2 million, or $58 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 Operating Partnership's pre-EQR IPO properties and 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 Acquired Properties approximated $6.6 million, or $53 per unit. Capital spent for replacement-type items approximated $12.1 million, or $57 per unit. In addition, approximately $2.7 million was spent on nine specific assets related to major renovations and repositioning of these assets. Also included in total capital expenditures was approximately $1.0 million expended for non-real estate additions such as computer software, computer equipment, and furniture 23 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) and fixtures and leasehold improvements for the Operating Partnership's property management offices and its corporate headquarters, $0.3 million spent on commercial/other assets and $0.3 million spent on the Partially Owned Properties. Such capital expenditures were primarily funded from working capital reserves and from net cash provided by operating activities. Total capital expenditures for the remaining portion of 2000 are estimated to be approximately $90.0 million. Total distributions paid in April 2000 amounted to approximately $128.0 million, which included distributions declared for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Operating Partnership 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 line of credit. The Operating Partnership considers its cash provided by operating activities to be adequate to meet operating requirements and payments of distributions. The Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership has certain uncollateralized Properties available for additional mortgage borrowings in the event that the public capital markets are unavailable to the Operating Partnership or the cost of alternative sources of capital to the Operating Partnership is too high. The Operating Partnership 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 10, 2000, $50.0 million was outstanding under this facility bearing interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.42%. In connection with the Wellsford Merger, the Operating Partnership 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 May 10, 2000, this enhancement was still in effect. Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement with Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. ("WRP Newco"), the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership has no further obligations under this agreement. On May 5, 2000, the Operating Partnership acquired an aggregate principal amount of $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. 24 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds from Operations ("FFO") represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("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 are presented giving affect to the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, FFO available to OP Units increased by $24.6 million, or 16.9%, and FFO per OP Unit - diluted increased by $0.11, or 10.2%, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The following is a reconciliation of net income to FFO available to OP Units for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999: 25 ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART 1 ITEM 2.
