TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The TIAA Real Estate Account ("Account") is a segregated investment account of
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA") and was
established by resolution of TIAA's Board of Trustees on February 22, 1995,
under the insurance laws of the State of New York, for the purpose of funding
variable annuity contracts issued by TIAA. 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. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States which may require the use of
estimates made by management. Actual results may vary from those estimates. The
following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Account.

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, The Townsend Group, 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 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 ventures are stated
at the Account's equity in the net assets of the underlying entity, which value
their real estate holdings at fair value.

VALUATION OF MORTGAGES: Mortgages are initially valued at their face amount.
Fixed rate mortgages are, thereafter, valued quarterly by discounting payments
of principal and interest to their present value using a rate at which
commercial lenders would make similar mortgage loans. Floating variable rate
mortgages are generally valued at their face amount, although the value may be
adjusted as market conditions dictate.

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, including limited partnership interests, 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In October 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS ("SFAS No. 144").
SFAS No. 144 provides accounting guidance for financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes
SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. It also supersedes the accounting and
reporting of APB Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting
the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual
and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" related to the disposal of a
segment of a business. The Account adopted SFAS No. 144 as of January 1, 2002.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the 2001 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation.

NOTE 2--MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

Investment advisory services for the Account are provided by TIAA employees,
under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its Investment Committee,
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. TIAA also provides all portfolio
accounting and related services for the Account.

Distribution and administrative services for the Account are provided by
TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, Inc. ("Services") pursuant to a
Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement with the Account. Services, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA, is a registered broker-dealer and member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

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.

The services provided by TIAA and Services are provided at cost. TIAA and
Services receive payments from the Account on a daily basis according to
formulas established each year with the objective of keeping the payments as
close as possible to the Account's actual expenses. Any differences between
actual expenses and the amounts paid are adjusted quarterly.

NOTE 3--REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

Had the Account's real estate properties which were purchased during the six
months ended June 30, 2002 been acquired at the beginning of the period (January
1, 2002), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 would have increased by approximately
$4,365,000 and $2,446,000, respectively and income from real estate joint
ventures would have increased by $5,469,000. In addition, interest income for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 would have decreased by approximately
$1,821,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net
investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 would have been an
increase of approximately $5,567,000, if the real estate properties acquired
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 had been acquired at the beginning of
the year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002 the Account sold two real estate
properties. The income for these properties during 2002 (prior to the sale)
consisted of rental income of $643,564 less operating expenses of $68,031 and
real estate taxes of $74,076 resulting in net investment income of $501,457. At
the time of sale, the properties had a cost basis of $22,592,804 and the
proceeds of sale were $26,050,000, resulting in a realized gain of $3,457,196.

NOTE 4--LEASES

The Account's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating lease
agreements which expire on various dates through 2031. Aggregate minimum annual
rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are
as follows:

--------------

Total $1,522,410,000
==============

Certain leases provide for additional rental amounts based upon the recovery of
actual operating expenses in excess of specified base amounts.

NOTE 5--INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

The Account owns several real estate properties through joint ventures and
receives distributions and allocations of profit and losses from the joint
ventures based on the Account's ownership interest percentages. Several of these
joint ventures have mortgages payable on the properties owned. The Account's
allocated portion of the mortgages payable at June 30, 2002 is $195,656,976. The
Account's equity in the joint ventures at June 30, 2002 is $232,383,485. A
condensed summary of the financial position and results of operations of the
joint ventures is shown below.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Account purchased five properties:
one office property, one industrial property, and an approximately 50% interest
in three joint venture partnerships each owning a regional mall. The three
regional malls are each subject to an existing mortgage that was an ongoing
obligation of its respective partnership. The Account currently has an
outstanding commitment to purchase an office building in the amount of $130.3
million. The Account continues to pursue suitable real estate properties for
acquisition, and is currently in various stages of negotiations with a number of
prospective sellers.

As of June 30, 2002, the Account also held investments in commercial paper,
representing 16.5% of the portfolio, commercial mortgage backed securities
(CMBS), representing 5.0% of the portfolio, real estate investment trusts
(REITs), representing 4.8% of the portfolio, and other real estate-related
investments, including a mortgage and real estate limited partnerships,
representing 0.7% of the portfolio.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of the Account and its subsidiaries have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial

statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases
its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the
following critical accounting policies affect its significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Account's total net return was 1.91% for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 3.92% for the same period in 2001. The performance of the Account
continued to be negatively affected by the downward pressure on real estate
values and the low short-term interest rates resulting from the recessionary
economy. Although the Account's real estate properties continued to produce
strong income returns, performance was hurt by valuation declines. The Account's
net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $102,408,337 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 and $92,002,241 for the same period in 2001. The
11.3% increase was primarily a result of a 23% increase in net assets and a 15%
increase in the Account's real estate holdings during the period from June 30,
2002 to June 30, 2001.

The Account had net realized and unrealized losses on investments of
$41,901,601 compared with net realized and unrealized gains of $8,607,306 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The unrealized losses
as of June 30, 2002 are primarily due to the substantial decrease in the
aggregate market value of the Account's real estate holdings in the amount of
$56,862,925 during the first half of 2002, as compared to a lesser decrease in
value in the amount of $2,700,917 during the same period in 2001. The Account's
marketable securities in the six months ending June 30, 2002 had realized and
unrealized gains totaling $15,142,998 and $10,222,939 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Account had net unrealized losses of
$181,674 as compared to net unrealized losses of $14,136 on its investments in
real estate joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 85% and 82% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The remaining
portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by marketable
securities investments.

Gross real estate rental income was $145,705,410 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and $120,183,910 for the same period in 2001. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account
from 60 properties as of June 30, 2001 to 67 properties as of June 30, 2002.
Income from real estate joint ventures was $4,605,633 and $928,187, respectively
for the same periods. Interest income on the Account's marketable securities
investments decreased from $12,705,091 for the first half of 2001 to $7,869,695
for the first half of 2002. This 38% decrease is due to a decline in short-term
rates from 2001 to 2002. Dividend income on the Account's REIT investments
increased slightly from $4,193,370 to $5,070,295 for the same time periods.

Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
$49,971,981, of which $32,205,643 represented operating expenses and $17,766,338
was attributable to real estate taxes. Total property level expenses for the
same period in 2001 were $38,395,750, of which $24,718,739 was attributable to
operating expenses and $13,677,011 was attributable to real estate taxes. The
increase in property level expenses during the first six months of 2002
reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

The Account also incurred expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 of $4,351,145 and $2,614,274, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $4,873,662 and $3,698,876, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $1,645,908 and $1,299,417, respectively, for the
mortality and expense risk charges and the liquidity guarantee charges. Such
expenses increased primarily as a result of the larger net asset base in the
Account. The expenses for investment advisory services for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 also reflect a downward adjustment related to the actual expenses
of the fourth quarter of 2000.

RESULTS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR
DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS ("SFAS No. 144"). The Account adopted SFAS No. 144
as of January 1, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Account
sold two real estate properties. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the investment
income and realized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30,
2001 relating to those properties were removed from continuing operations and
classified as discontinued operations. The income from the properties for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 (prior to the sale) consisted of rental income of
$643,564 less operating expenses of $68,031 and real estate taxes of $74,076
resulting in net investment income of $501,457. The income from the properties
for the full six months ended June 30, 2001 consisted of rental income of
$1,414,381 less operating expenses of $98,165 and real estate taxes of $122,943
resulting in net investment income of $1,193,273. At the time of sale, the
properties had a cost of $22,592,804 and the proceeds of sale were $26,050,000
resulting in a realized gain of $3,457,196.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Account's total net return
was 1.13%. This was 36 basis points higher than the return for the first three
months of 2002, but lower than the return of 2.21% for the same period in 2001.
The returns were lower in the 2002 period as compared to the same time 2001 due
to the decrease in value of the Account's real estate properties and lower
short-term interest rates. The Account's net investment income, after deduction
of all expenses, was $54,419,265 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
$47,346,855 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 14.9% increase.

The Account had net realized and unrealized losses on investments of
$16,957,678 and net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $12,064,289
for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The difference
was primarily due to the substantial decrease in the aggregate market value of
the Account's real estate holdings. The Account posted net unrealized losses on
its real estate investments of $22,348,000 and unrealized gains of $97,345 in
the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Due to the
volatility of the REIT market, the Account posted net unrealized gains on its
marketable securities of $2,298,375 during the second quarter of 2002 as
compared with net unrealized gains of $11,457,170 during the same period in
2001.

The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 82% and 82% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by
investments in marketable securities.

Gross real estate rental income was $74,673,810 for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and $61,481,572 for the same period in 2001. The higher real
estate income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was due primarily to the
increase in the number of properties owned by the Account. Income from real
estate joint ventures was $3,984,431 and $523,221 for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Interest income on the Account's
short and intermediate term investments for the three months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 totaled $4,039,751 and $6,489,152, respectively. This decrease was due
to the decline in short term interest rates on the Account's assets. Dividend
income on the Account's investments in REITs increased to $2,620,622 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from $2,006,510, for the three months ended June 30,
2001.

Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were
$25,189,583, of which $16,343,160 was attributable to operating expenses and
$8,846,423 represented real estate taxes. Total property level expenses for same
period in 2001 were $19,494,515, of which $12,284,163 was attributable to
operating expenses and $7,210,352 was attributable to real estate taxes. The
increase in property level expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2002
reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 of $2,381,670 and $295,579, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $2,480,785 and $2,677,140, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $847,311 and $686,366, respectively, for the mortality
and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses for the
most part increased as a result of the larger net asset base of the Account and
the increased costs associated with administering a larger account. The expenses
for investment advisory services for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
however, reflect a special downward adjustment to compensate for an over
adjustment made in the first quarter of 2001.

RESULTS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Account sold one real
estate property. The property cost $11,479,950 and the proceeds of sale were
$12,800,000 resulting in a realized gain $1,320,050. In accordance with SFAS No.
144, the investment income and realized gain for the three months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 relating to this property was removed from continuing operations
and classified as discontinued operations. The income from the property during
the second quarter of 2002 (prior to the sale) consisted of rental income of
$539,517 less operating expenses of $32,262 and real estate taxes of $49,908
resulting in net investment income of $457,347. The income from this property
during the second quarter of 2001 consisted of rental income of $667,855 less
operating expenses of $28,201 and real estate taxes of $54,487 resulting in net
investment income of $585,167.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its REITs,
CMBS short- and intermediate- term investment, government security and cash) had
a value of $932,113,297 and $791,154,602, respectively. For the first half of
2002, the Account received $181,936,547 in premiums and $115,392,870 in net
participant transfers from the TIAA and CREF Accounts, while for the same time
period in 2001, the Account received $114,364,053 in premiums and $288,637,006
in net participant transfers from other TIAA and CREF accounts. 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.
