The Account holds various properties in wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial statement purposes. The investment objective of the Account is a favorable long-term rate of return primarily through rental income and capital appreciation from real estate investments owned by the Account. The Account also invests in publicly-traded securities and other instruments to maintain adequate liquidity for operating expenses, capital expenditures and to make benefit payments. TIAA employees, under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its Investment Committee, manage the investment of the Account's assets pursuant to investment management procedures adopted by TIAA for the Account. TIAA's investment management decisions for the Account are also subject to review by the Account's independent fiduciary, The Townsend Group. TIAA also provides all portfolio accounting and related services for the Account. TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, Inc. ("Services"), a subsidiary of TIAA, which is registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., provides administrative and distribution services pursuant to a Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement with the Account. NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Account, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Account and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES: Investments in real estate properties are stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the responsibilities of the Board as a whole; accordingly, the Account does not record depreciation. Fair value for real estate properties is defined as the most probable price for which a property will sell in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgement because the actual market value of real estate can be determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales transaction. Real estate properties owned by the Account are initially valued at their respective purchase prices (including acquisition costs). Subsequently, independent appraisers value each real estate property at least once a year. The independent fiduciary must approve all independent appraisers used by the Account. The independent fiduciary can also require additional appraisals if it believes that a property's value has changed materially or otherwise to assure that the Account is valued correctly. TIAA's appraisal staff performs a valuation review of each real estate property on a quarterly basis and updates the property value if it believes that the value of the property has changed since the previous valuation review or appraisal. The independent fiduciary reviews and approves any such 7 TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) valuation adjustments which exceed certain prescribed limits. TIAA continues to use the revised value to calculate the Account's net asset value until the next valuation review or appraisal. VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES: Real estate joint venture is stated at the Account's equity in the net assets of the underlying entity, which values its real estate holdings at fair value. VALUATION OF MORTGAGES: Mortgages are stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the responsibilities of the Board as a whole. VALUATION OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Equity securities listed or traded on any United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of the principal securities exchange on which such securities are traded or, if there is no sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices on such exchange. Short-term money market instruments are stated at market value. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the responsibilities of the Board as a whole. ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS: Real estate transactions are accounted for as of the date on which the purchase or sale transactions for the real estate properties close (settlement date). Rent from real estate properties consists of all amounts earned under tenant operating leases, including base rent, recoveries of real estate taxes and other expenses and charges for miscellaneous services provided to tenants. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the billing terms of the lease agreements. The Account bears the direct expenses of the real estate properties owned. These expenses include, but are not limited to, fees to local property management companies, property taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs, insurance and other operating and administrative costs. An estimate of the net operating income earned from each real estate property is accrued by the Account on a daily basis and such estimates are adjusted as soon as actual operating results are determined. Realized gains and losses on real estate transactions are accounted for under the specific identification method. Securities transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned and includes accrual of discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are accounted for on the average cost basis. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Account is taxed as a segregated asset account of TIAA. The Account should incur no material federal income tax attributable to the net investment experience of the Account. 8 TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 3--MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS Under established management agreements, various services necessary for the operation of the Account are provided, at cost, by TIAA and Services. TIAA provides investment management services for the Account while distribution and administrative services are provided by Services in accordance with a Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement between the Account and Services. TIAA also provides a liquidity guarantee to the Account, for a fee, to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet participant transfer and cash withdrawal requests in the event that the Account's cash flows and liquid investments are insufficient to fund such requests. TIAA also receives a fee for assuming certain mortality and expense risks. Fee payments are made from the Account on a daily basis to TIAA and Services according to formulas established each year with the objective of keeping the fees as close as possible to the Account's actual expenses. Any differences between actual expenses and daily charges are adjusted quarterly. NOTE 4--REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES Had the Account's real estate property which was purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 been acquired at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2001), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 would have increased by approximately $11,775,000 and $4,220,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 would have decreased by approximately $5,405,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 would have been an increase of approximately $2,150,000, if the real estate property acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 had been acquired at the beginning of the period. NOTE 5--LEASES The Account's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating lease agreements which expire on various dates through 2021. Aggregate minimum annual rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are as follows: Years Ending December 31, 2001 $ 169,293,000 2002 174,743,000 2003 162,201,000 2004 142,250,000 2005 119,704,000 Thereafter 330,472,000 -------------- Total $1,098,663,000 ============== Certain leases provide for additional rental amounts based upon the recovery of actual operating expenses in excess of specified base amounts. 9 TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 6--CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Selected condensed consolidated financial information for an Accumulation Unit of the Account is presented below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. At September 30, 2001, the Account held a total of 63 real estate properties representing 70.9% of the Account's total investment portfolio. These include twenty-two office properties (one of which is held in joint venture), 19 industrial properties, 17 apartment complexes, and 5 neighborhood shopping centers. During the third quarter, the Account purchased one suburban office property, three apartment properties, and sold one industrial property. The Account continues to pursue suitable property acquisitions, and is currently in various stages of negotiations with a number of prospective sellers. While attractive acquisition prospects are available in the current market, there is significant competition for institutional quality real estate. As of September 30, 2001, the Account also held investments in commercial paper representing 21.3% of the portfolio, real estate investment trusts (REITs) representing 4.7% of the portfolio, and other real estate related investments, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and a mortgage, representing 3.1% of the portfolio. The tragic events of September 11th had no direct impact on the Account's real estate holdings, since the Account does not own any property in the New York City financial district. At present, it is not possible to quantify with any certainty the short-term or long-term future impact these events will have on the economy and the real estate market. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 The Account's total net return was 5.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 7.68% for the same period in 2000. This decline was due to the performance of each asset type, i.e, real estate, REITs and commercial paper, which was down in the nine months ended 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $143,631,076 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $108,472,428 for the same period in 2000, a 32% increase. This increase was primarily the result of a 39% increase in net assets and a 26% increase in the Account's real estate holdings from September 30, 2000 to September 30, 2001. The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $1,306,421 and $34,330,292 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease is due to a modest decrease in the aggregate market value of the Account's real estate holdings during the first nine months of 2001, which had increased substantially during the same time period in 2000. In addition, the Account's marketable securities had an unrealized loss on investments in the first nine months of 2001 in contrast with the same period in 2000 where the Account had a substantial unrealized gain on investments. 17 The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 83% and 81% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by marketable securities investments. Gross real estate rental income was $187,666,211 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $139,303,225 for the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account from 58 properties as of September 30, 2000 to 63 properties as of September 30, 2001. Interest income on the Account's short and intermediate- term investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 totaled $19,762,127 and $17,936,645, respectively. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $6,656,243 and $4,904,265, respectively, for the same periods. The increase in interest and dividend income is due to the increase in such investments by the Account as its net asset base grew. Total property level expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $59,153,040, of which $21,206,800 was attributable to real estate taxes and $37,946,240 was attributable to operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $45,224,860, of which $16,532,575 was attributable to real estate taxes and $28,692,285 represented operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first nine months of 2001 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $4,630,562 and $4,133,678, respectively, for investment advisory services, $6,079,000 and $3,200,476, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $2,052,066 and $1,510,082, respectively, for the mortality and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses increased as a result of the larger net asset base in the Account and the increased costs associated with administering a larger account. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 The Account's total net return was 1.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2.67% for the same period in 2000. The lower return in 2001 was due to the performance of each asset type, which was down in the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $50,435,135 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $40,552,504 for the same period in 2000, a 24% increase. This was primarily the result of an increase in net assets and the Account's real estate holdings from September 30, 2000 to September 30, 2001. The Account had a net realized and unrealized loss on investments of $7,300,458 for the three months ending September 30, 2001 compared to the net realized and unrealized gains of $14,771,601 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The difference was due to the decrease in value of the Account's marketable securities and to the smaller increase in the aggregate market value of the Account's real estate holdings in the third quarter 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000, when the Account had substantial unrealized appreciation 18 on its real estate properties. The Account posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $2,520,745 and $8,918,621 in the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Also, the Account's marketable securities (primarily its REIT holdings) decreased substantially in the third quarter of 2001 compared to an increase in value during the same period in 2000. The Account posted net unrealized losses on its marketable securities of $10,703,063 during the third quarter of 2001, as compared with net unrealized gains of $5,921,339 during the same period in 2000. The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 83% and 82% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by investments in marketable securities. Gross real estate rental income was $66,090,617 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $52,030,764 for the same period in 2000. The higher real estate income for the 2001 period was due primarily to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account. Interest income on the Account's short- and intermediate-term investments for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 totaled $7,034,339 and $6,317,707, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth of the Account's assets as of September 30, 2001 compared to the earlier time period. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $2,462,873 and $1,479,219, respectively, for the same periods. Total property level expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $20,536,182, of which $7,406,846 was attributable to real estate taxes and $13,129,336 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $16,490,510, of which $5,969,832 was attributable to real estate taxes and $10,520,678 was attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2001 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $2,016,288 and $1,525,198, respectively, for investment advisory services, $2,380,124 and $1,125,353, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $752,649 and $531,514, respectively, for the mortality and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses increased as a result of the larger net asset base of the Account for the three months ended September 30, 2001 over the three months ended September 30, 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Account received $179,047,288 and $117,271,493, respectively, in premiums and $402,657,284 and $288,502,924, respectively, in net participant transfers from other TIAA and CREF accounts. The unprecedented volume of net participant's transfers into the Account through the third quarter of 2001 can be attributed to the continued decline in the equity markets during the same 19 time period. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its REITS, short and immediate term investments, government securities and cash) had a value of $889,298,400 and $478,107,886, respectively. We plan to use much of the Account's liquid assets, exclusive of the REITs, to purchase additional suitable real estate properties. The remaining liquid assets, exclusive of the REITs, will continue to be available to meet expense needs and redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals or transfers). In the unlikely event that the Account's liquid assets and its cash flow from operating activities and participant transactions are not sufficient to meet its cash needs, including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase liquidity units in accordance with TIAA's liquidity guarantee to the Account.
