Teachers REA, LLC (formerly Teachers REA, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in July 1996 and holds one property in Virginia. Light Street Partners, L.P. ("Light Street"), a partnership in which the Account holds a 90% interest, began operations in March 1997 and holds eight office buildings throughout the United States. Teachers REA II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in October 1997 and holds one property in Pennsylvania. 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 on 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 New York State Insurance Department ("NYID"), TIAA began to redeem its seed money Accumulation Units in monthly installments of 16,667 Units beginning in September 1996. Since the Account's assets have been growing rapidly, TIAA in October 1997, with NYID approval, modified the seed money redemption schedule by increasing the monthly redemption of Units at a level equal to the value of 25% of the Account's net asset growth for the prior month, with no fewer than 16,667 Units and no more than 100,000 Units to be redeemed each month. These withdrawals are made at prevailing daily net asset values and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 1998, TIAA retained 162,354 Accumulation Units, with a total value of $20,685,361. 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, 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 and distribution services pursuant to a Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement with the Account. 7 Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 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, Teachers REA, LLC and Teachers REA II, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Light Street, in which the Account holds a 90% interest. The 10% minority interest in Light Street is reflected separately in the accompanying financial statements. 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 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 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, 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. 8 Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies - (Concluded) 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 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. An affiliate of the minority partner in Light Street provides certain management services for the properties owned by Light Street. The charges for such services for the six months ended June 30, 1998 amounted to $504,216 for investment advisory expenses and $77,307 for administrative expenses which are recorded accordingly in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 been acquired at the beginning of the period (January 1, 1998), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have increased by approximately $1,900,000 and $737,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have decreased by approximately $1,066,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have been an increase of approximately $97,000, if the real estate property acquired during the six months ended June 30, 1998 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, ------------ 1998 $ 45,314,000 1999 43,547,000 2000 40,651,000 2001 34,338,000 2002 30,219,000 Thereafter 106,733,000 ----------- Total $300,802,000 ============ Certain leases provide for additional rental amounts based upon the recovery of actual operating expenses in excess of specified base amounts. 9 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. The TIAA Real Estate Account began operating on July 3, 1995 and interests in the Account were first offered to participants on October 2, 1995. Through June 30, 1998, the Account had acquired a total of 37 real estate properties, including twelve office properties, eleven industrial properties, five neighborhood shopping centers and nine apartment complexes. As of June 30, 1998, these properties represented 58.57% of the Account's total investment portfolio. The Account purchased three industrial properties during the second quarter of 1998. 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 most desirable properties. As of June 30, 1998, the Account also held investments in U.S. government agency securities, representing 19.96% of the portfolio, real estate investment trusts (REITs), representing 12.76% of the portfolio, commercial paper, representing 7.73% of the portfolio and corporate bonds, representing .98% of the portfolio. The Account owns a controlling 90% interest in a partnership which owns eight office buildings throughout the U.S. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Account's consolidated financial statements and all financial data discussed in this report reflect 100% of the value of the partnership's assets. The 10% interest of the other partner in the partnership is reflected as a minority interest in the Account's consolidated financial statements. Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 The Account's total net return was 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 3.71% for the same period in 1997. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $33,166,118 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $17,561,848 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an 89% increase. This increase was the result of a growing base of net assets from June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998. Net assets increased 69% during that period. In addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $5,751,177 and $1,853,268 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase in unrealized appreciation of the Account's real estate assets. The Account posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $12,823,405 and $464,811, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, and net unrealized losses of $7,403,437, and net unrealized gains of $1,300,396, respectively, during the same periods, resulting primarily from fluctuations in market value of the Account's REIT holdings. 15 The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 69% and 59% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by marketable securities investments. Gross real estate rental income was $37,656,247 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $16,328,667 for the same period in 1997. The higher real estate income for the first six months of 1998 was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account from 28 properties as of June 30, 1997 to 37 properties as of June 30, 1998. Interest income on the Account's short- and intermediate- term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 totaled $7,225,583 and $6,463,722, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $3,856,819 and $1,311,110, respectively, for the same periods. Shares of REITs totaled 12.8% of the Account investments as of June 30, 1998 and 10.7% as of June 30, 1997. This higher percentage and the general growth in the Account's assets accounted for the increased dividend income for first six months of 1998, as compared with the same period in 1997. Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $12,474,350, of which $4,346,105 was attributable to real estate taxes and $8,128,245 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $5,059,585, of which $1,761,336 was attributable to real estate taxes and $3,298,249 was attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first six months of 1998 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of $1,522,547 and $660,433, respectively, for investment advisory services, $1,225,605 and $585,398, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $350,029 and $236,235, 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 for the first six months of 1998 over the first six months of 1997. Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 The Account's total net return was 2.13% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 2.09% for the same period in 1997. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $18,180,455 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $10,168,549 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a 79% increase. This increase was the result of a growing base of net assets from June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998. Net assets increased 69% during that period. In addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $3,107,941 and $1,895,220 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase in unrealized appreciation of the Account's real estate assets. The Account posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $9,181,292 and $355,491, respectively, in the three months ended 16 June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, and net unrealized losses of $6,144,677, and net unrealized gains of $1,489,574, respectively, during the same periods, resulting primarily from fluctuations in market value of the Account's REIT holdings. The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 69% and 68% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by investments in marketable securities. Gross real estate rental income was $20,002,915 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $10,999,703 for the same period in 1997. The higher real estate income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 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 June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 totaled $4,007,501 and $2,742,795, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $2,087,297 and $832,381, respectively, for the same periods. This increase was due primarily to the increased level of the Account's investments in REITS for the period. Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $6,180,130, of which $2,128,003 was attributable to real estate taxes and $4,052,127 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $3,549,926, of which $1,189,347 was attributable to real estate taxes and $2,360,579 was attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three month period ended June 30, 1998 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of $824,282 and $377,163, respectively, for investment advisory services, $718,609 and $319,991, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $194,237 and $159,250, 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 June 30, 1998 over the three months ended June 30, 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since September 16, 1996, TIAA has been redeeming the accumulation units related to its $100 million seed money investment in the Account in accordance with a repayment schedule approved by the New York Insurance Department. As of June 30, 1998, the Account had redeemed 837,646 accumulation units at prevailing daily unit values, amounting to $101,002,865 in total redemption payments to TIAA, leaving it holding 162,354 units at June 30, 1998 with a value of $20,685,361. TIAA expects to complete the redemption of its seed money investment sometime in 1998, but, in any event, no later than in the year 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Account received $46,171,227 and $21,358,561, respectively, in premiums and $194,565,164 and $195,536,495, 17 respectively, in net participant transfers from other TIAA and CREF accounts. The increase in premium income is primarily due to the growing number of participants in the Account. At June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its REITs, short- and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash) had a value of $423,876,467 and $215,172,660, respectively. The REIT holdings at June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 were $130,329,477 and $64,776,238, 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). If 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.
