The Account commenced operations on July 3, 1995 with a $100,000,000 seed money investment by TIAA. TIAA purchased 1,000,000 Accumulation Units in the Account and such Units share in the pro rata investment experience of the Account and are subject to the same valuation procedures and expense deductions as all other Accumulation Units of the Account. The initial registration statement of the Account filed by TIAA with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933 became effective on October 2, 1995. The Account began to offer Accumulation Units and Annuity Units to participants other than TIAA starting October 2, and November 1, 1995, respectively. At June 30, 1996, amounts retained by TIAA in the Account remained at 1,000,000 Accumulation Units with a total value of $106,404,500. TIAA will redeem a portion of its seed money Accumulation Units monthly (at the net asset value at the time of redemption), according to a five year repayment schedule approved by the State of New York Insurance Department. This schedule requires TIAA to begin redeeming the seed money Accumulation Units on October 2, 1997, or on the date the Account's net assets first reach $200 million, whichever comes first. 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 will also invest in publicly-traded securities and other instruments to maintain adequate liquidity for operating expenses and capital expenditures and to make benefit payments. TIAA employees, under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its Mortgage 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 subject to review by the Account's independent fiduciary, Institutional Property Consultants, Inc. 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 7 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 following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Account, which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Valuation of Real Estate Properties: Investments in real estate properties are stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Mortgage 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 that the Account uses. 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 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 Marketable Securities: Equity securities listed or traded on any United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sales 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. 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 Mortgage Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the responsibilities of the Board as a whole. 8 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 paid 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, for short-term money market instruments, includes accrual of discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are accounted for on the average cost basis. Federal Income Taxes: Based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, no federal income taxes are attributable to the net investment experience of the Account. Note 3--Management Agreements All 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 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. 9 Note 4--Real Estate Properties Had the Account's real estate properties which were purchased in 1996 been acquired at the beginning of the current period (January 1, 1996), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 would have increased by approximately $1,532,000 and $615,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 would have decreased by approximately $746,000. Accordingly, the total pro forma effect on the Account's net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 would have been an increase of approximately $171,000, if the real estate properties acquired during 1996 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 2015. Aggregate minimum annual rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are as follows: Years Ending December 31, ------------ 1996 $ 4,113,000 1997 3,971,000 1998 3,814,000 1999 3,558,000 2000 3,149,000 Thereafter 17,398,000 ----------- Total $36,003,000 =========== Certain leases provide for additional rental amounts based upon the recovery of actual operating expenses in excess of specified base amounts. 10 Note 6--Condensed Financial Information Selected condensed financial information for an Accumulation Unit of the Account is presented below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The TIAA Real Estate Account (the "Account") began operating on July 3, 1995 and interests in the Account began being offered to participants on October 2, 1995. The Account's first real estate acquisition closed on November 22, 1995. Through June 30, 1996, the Account acquired a total of nine real estate properties, representing 50.90% of the Account's total investment portfolio, including two industrial properties, three neighborhood shopping centers, one office property and three apartment complexes. The Account purchased an additional shopping center property in early July, 1996. 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, significant competition exists for the desirable properties. As of June 30 1996, 49.10% of the Account's portfolio was invested in marketable securities. These investments consisted of eight real estate investment trusts (REITs), representing 2.93% of the portfolio, and various short-term instruments, representing 46.17% of the portfolio. Results of Operations - --------------------- The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $2,537,641 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and $4,720,855 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. In addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $656,834 and $688,885 for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Net unrealized gains on real estate properties accounted for approximately 74% and 88% of the net change in unrealized appreciation for those periods. Such gains resulted from the periodic revaluations of the Account's properties, which gains were based, in part, on our experience in operating the properties providing us with better estimates of future income and expenses, and, in part, to increasing prices for certain property types held by the Account. The Account's total return was 2.03% and 3.74% for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, and its cumulative total return was 5.11% for the period from October 2, 1995 (the initial effective date of the Account's registration statement) to June 30, 1996. Approximately 57% of the Account's total investment income received during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was generated by the Account's real estate holdings, with the remainder generated by marketable securities investments. However, as the Account 15 approaches its goal of being approximately 70% to 80% invested in real estate, the Account's future investment income will be affected to a greater degree by its real estate holdings. Assuming little change in current economic conditions, this anticipated increase in real estate holdings should have a positive impact on the Account's total return. Gross real estate income was $2,271,715 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and $3,933,580 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Interest income on the Account's short-term investments for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 totaled $1,137,192 and $2,283,539, respectively. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $50,825 and $60,825, respectively, for the same periods. Total property-level expenses for the three month period were $723,903, of which $212,886 were attributable to real estate taxes and $511,017 to other operating expenses. Total property-level expenses for the six month period were $1,234,293 of which $405,405 were attributable to real estate taxes and $828,888 to other operating expenses. The Account also incurred expenses for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 of $136,267 and $180,588, respectively, for investment advisory services provided by TIAA, $48,135 and $123,311, respectively, for administrative and distribution services provided by TIAA-CREF Individual and Institutional Services, Inc. and $13,786 and $18,897, respectively, for the mortality and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee provided by TIAA. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- In addition to TIAA's initial $100 million seed money investment, the Account has received over $61.2 million in premiums and net participant transfers from accumulations in other TIAA and CREF accounts since it commenced operations through June 30, 1996, and has earned $7,361,252 in net investment income. Real estate properties costing $85,317,574 million have been purchased through June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its short-term investments, REITs and cash) had a value of $83,200,719. It is anticipated that much of this amount will be used by the Account to purchase additional suitable real estate properties. The remaining assets will continue to be invested in marketable securities to meet expense needs and redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals or transfers). If the Account's cash flows from operating activities, participant transactions and liquid investments are not enough to meet its cash needs including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase liquidity units in accordance with the liquidity guarantee. 16 TIAA has agreed to begin redeeming the Accumulation Units related to its seed money investment on October 2, 1997, or on the date the Account's net assets reach $200 million, whichever comes first. We expect the Account's net assets to reach the $200 million threshold shortly. At such time, TIAA will begin redeeming a portion of the Accumulation Units related to its seed money investment monthly, according to a five-year repayment schedule approved by the New York Insurance Department. No major capital expenditures for any of the properties purchased through June 30, 1996 have been made or are expected to be made in 1996. There are no leases expiring in the industrial or office properties in 1996 and only a small portion of the leased space in the neighborhood shopping centers is due to expire in 1996. We do not expect the Account to incur any major construction costs or leasing commissions in order to re-lease that space. For the apartment complexes, we expect the Account to incur only routine recurring costs to re-lease apartments that become vacant, i.e. painting and carpet cleaning or replacement. Effects of Inflation - -------------------- In recent years, inflation has been modest. To the extent that inflation may increase property operating expenses in the future, such increases can generally be billed to tenants either through contractual lease provisions in office, industrial, and retail properties or through rent increases in apartment complexes. However, to the extent there is unrented space in a property, the Account may not be able to recover the full amount of such increases in operating expenses. 17 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
