Exhibit 99.2

On February 2, 2011, Equity Residential reported results for the year ended December 31, 2010. All per share results are reported on a fully-diluted basis.

Year Ended December 31, 2010
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the company reported earnings of $0.95 per share compared to $1.27 per share in the same period of 2009.

Same Store Results
On a same store year over year comparison, which includes 112,042 apartment units, revenues decreased 0.1%, expenses increased 0.9% and NOI decreased 0.8%.

Acquisitions/Dispositions
During 2010, the company acquired 16 properties, consisting of 4,445 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion.  Included in this total are the acquisitions of 425 Mass in Washington, D.C. and Vantage Pointe in San Diego, both of which are currently in lease up.  

During 2010, the company sold 35 consolidated properties, consisting of 7,171 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $718.4 million.

At-The-Market (ATM) Share Offering Program
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the company issued approximately 5.1 million common shares at an average price of $50.27 per share for total consideration of approximately $256.1 million.  During the first quarter of 2011, the company has issued approximately 3.0 million common shares at an average price of $50.84 per share for total consideration of approximately $154.5 million.  The company will use the proceeds from these share sales primarily to fund its investment activity, including development, and to fund debt repayment.  The company’s Board of Trustees has authorized an increase in the amount of shares available for future issuance under this program by approximately 5.7 million to bring the total available for future issuance to 10 million shares.

(1)   The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations ("FFO") (April 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable 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. The April 2002 White Paper states that gain or loss on sales of property is excluded from FFO for previously depreciated operating properties only. Once the Company commences the conversion of units to condominiums, it simultaneously discontinues depreciation of such property.
 
(2) Normalized funds from operations ("Normalized FFO") begins with FFO and excludes:
• the impact of any expenses relating to asset impairment and valuation allowances;
• property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions and pursuit cost write-offs (other expenses);
• gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties, preferred share redemptions and the cost related to the implied option value of non-cash convertible debt discounts;
• gains and losses on the sales of non-operating assets, including gains and losses from land parcel and condominium sales, net of the effect of income tax benefits or expenses; and
• other miscellaneous non-comparable items.
(3)

The Company believes that FFO and FFO available to Common Shares and Units are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the operating performance of a real estate company, because they are recognized measures of performance by the real estate industry and by excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of depreciable property and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO available to Common Shares and Units can help compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. The company also believes that Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the operating performance of a real estate company because they allow investors to compare the company's operating performance to its performance in prior reporting periods and to the operating performance of other real estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period and tend to obscure the Company's actual operating results.  FFO, FFO available to Common Shares and Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units do not represent net income, net income available to Common Shares or net cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.  Therefore, FFO, FFO available to Common Shares and Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units should not be exclusively considered as alternatives to net income, net income available to Common Shares or net cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP or as a measure of liquidity.  The Company's calculation of FFO, FFO available to Common Shares and Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units may differ from other real estate companies due to, among other items, variations in cost capitalization policies for capital expenditures and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other real estate companies.

 
(4) FFO available to Common Shares and Units and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units are calculated on a basis consistent with net income available to Common Shares and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred distributions and premiums on redemption of preferred shares in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units are collectively referred to as the "Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Partnership". Subject to certain restrictions, the Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Partnership may exchange their OP Units for EQR Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.

The Company's primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment communities is net operating income ("NOI"). NOI represents rental income less property and maintenance expense, real estate tax and insurance expense and property management expense. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of its operating performance because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company's apartment communities.
