Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Trustees of
Equity Residential Properties Trust


We have audited the accompanying combined Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses of the CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties (the Acquired and
Probable Properties) described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of
the Acquired and Probable Properties' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the combined 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 combined 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 Acquired and Probable Properties' combined revenue
and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined 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.

CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties
Notes to Combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accompanying combined financial statements consist of 45 multifamily
properties (the "CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties" or the "Acquired and
Probable Properties"). Equity Residential Properties Trust (the "Company")
acquired 21 of these multifamily properties on October 9, 1997 (the "Acquired
Properties"). The Company made a commitment to acquire or has reached an
agreement, in principle, to acquire the remaining 24 properties and the Company
is in the final stages of documenting the acquisition of these properties (the
"Probable Properties"). The closing of these pending transactions are subject to
certain contingencies and conditions; therefore, there can be no assurance that
these transactions will be consummated.

The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997
(unaudited) were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the
Current Report of the Company on Form 8-K. The accompanying combined financial
statements are not representative of the actual operations of the CAPREIT
Acquired and Probable Properties for the periods presented as certain expenses,
which may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by the Company in the
proposed future operations of the CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties, have
been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the Acquired and Probable Properties.

In the preparation of the combined 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.

13

CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties
Notes to Combined Statements
of Revenue and Certain Expenses (continued)



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)

The CAPREIT Acquired and Probable Properties have been presented on a combined
basis because all of the properties were either commonly owned or managed by
CAPREIT, the seller of the Acquired and Probable Properties.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The 45 Acquired and Probable Properties are multifamily properties and contain a
total of 10,724 units. The properties range in size from 48 to 468 units. The
Acquired and Probable Properties are located in Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota,
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, California and Washington.

The Company's total investment for the Acquired and Probable Properties,
including initial purchase price and closing costs is expected to be
approximately $608 million.

Forty-four of the Acquired and Probable Properties were or are anticipated to be
managed by a management company affiliated with CAPREIT through the date of
acquisition. The remaining property was managed by a party unaffiliated with the
seller. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the Company began to manage the
Acquired Properties and it is expected that subsequent to the sale of the
Probable Properties to the Company, the Company will also manage the Probable
Properties. For fifteen of the Acquired and Probable Properties, the management
fee was 3.5% of total revenues plus an incentive fee in amount equal to a
percentage, ranging from .25% to .5%, of total revenues, based on achieving
certain performance targets. For twenty-nine of the properties, an amount was
paid to the management company for reimbursement of certain costs, which equated
to approximately 1% of total revenues for those properties.
