TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1--Organization
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. In July 1996 Teachers REA, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations and holds one property in
Virginia.
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 prorata 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. In
August, 1996 the Account's net assets first reached $200 million and, as
required under a five year repayment schedule approved by the State of New York
Insurance Department, TIAA began to redeem its seed money Accumulation Units in
monthly installments beginning in September, 1996. These withdrawals are made at
prevailing daily net asset values and are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 1996, TIAA retained 983,333
Accumulation Units, with a total value of $106,794,487.
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 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 Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., provides
administrative
7
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.
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the Account and its wholly owned subsidiary, Teachers REA, Inc. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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 securities 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 nine months ended
September 30, 1996 would have increased by approximately $2,233,000 and
$830,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 would have decreased by approximately $1,123,000.
Accordingly, the total pro forma effect on the Account's net investment income
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 would have been an increase of
approximately $280,000, 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 2021. Aggregate minimum annual
rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are
as follows:
Years Ending
December 31,
------------
1996 $ 5,270,000
1997 5,074,000

Item 2. 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 September 30, 1996, the Account acquired a total of ten real estate
properties, representing 46.13% of the Account's total investment portfolio,
including two industrial properties, four neighborhood shopping centers, one
office property and three apartment complexes. The Account purchased an
additional office property in late October 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 September 30, 1996, 53.87% of the Account's portfolio was invested in
marketable securities. These investments consisted of interests in ten real
estate investment trusts (REITs), representing 3.23% of the portfolio, and
various short-term instruments, representing 50.64% of the portfolio.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was
$3,295,672 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and $8,016,527 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. In addition, the Account had net realized
and unrealized gains on investments of $732,787 and $1,421,672 for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Net unrealized
gains on real estate properties accounted for 39.76% and 62.19% of the net
change in unrealized appreciation for those periods. Such gains resulted from
the periodic revaluations of the Account's properties. These gains were based,
in part, on the fact that our experience operating the properties provided us
with better estimates of future income and expenses, and, in part, on increasing
prices for certain property types held by the Account. The Account's total
return was 2.07% and 5.89% for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, respectively, and its cumulative total return was 7.28% for the period
from October 2, 1995 (the initial effective date of the Account's registration
statement) to September 30, 1996.
Approximately 62% of the Account's total investment income received during
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (before deducting Account expenses) was
generated by the Account's real estate holdings, with the remainder generated by
marketable securities investments. However, as the Account approaches its
15
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 (rental) income was $3,126,286 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and $7,059,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Interest income on the Account's short-term investments for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $1,255,909 and $3,539,448,
respectively. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled
$96,968 and $157,793, respectively, for the same periods. Total property-level
expenses for the three month period were $872,796, of which $243,750 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $629,046 to other operating expenses.
Total property-level expenses for the nine month period were $2,107,089 of which
$649,155 was attributable to real estate taxes and $1,457,934 to other operating
expenses. The Account also incurred expenses for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 of $131,630 and $312,218, respectively, for
investment advisory services provided by TIAA, $157,734 and $281,045,
respectively, for administrative and distribution services provided by TIAA-CREF
Individual and Institutional Services, Inc. and $21,331 and $40,228,
respectively, for the mortality and expense risks assumed and the liquidity
guarantee provided by TIAA.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
On September 16, 1996, in accordance with a five-year fixed repayment
schedule approved by the New York Insurance Department, TIAA began to redeem the
accumulation units related to its $100 million seed money investment. TIAA will
redeem a pro rata portion of the accumulation units it holds monthly over a 60-
month period (16,666.667 units per month). As of September 30, 1996, the Account
had repaid $1,804,010 of seed money to TIAA.
Since it commenced operations through September 30, 1996, the Account has
earned $10,656,924 in net investment income and has received over $105.8 million
in premiums and net participant transfers from accumulations in other TIAA and
CREF accounts. Real estate properties costing $98,371,240 have been purchased
through September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1996, the Account's liquid assets
(i.e., its short-term investments, REITs and cash) had a value of $117,211,519.
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).
16
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.
No major capital expenditures for any of the properties purchased through
September 30, 1996 have been made or are expected to be made for the remainder
of 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 during the remainder of the year. 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.
