Teachers REA, LLC, 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 100% interest, began operations in March 1997 and holds seven office buildings throughout the United States. Prior to April 30, 1999, when the Account purchased the remaining 10% interest, the Account had a 90% interest in Light Street. Teachers REA II, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in October 1997 and holds one property in Pennsylvania. Teachers REA III, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in July 1998 and holds one property in Florida. 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 shared 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 were made at prevailing daily net asset values and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 1998, all of TIAA's Accumulation Units had been withdrawn. 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. 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. 7 TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies - (Concluded) Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Account and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Teachers REA, LLC, Teachers REA II, LLC, Teachers REA III, LLC, Inc. and Light Street. 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. 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. Prior to April 30, 1999, an affiliate of the minority partner in Light Street provided certain management services for the properties owned by Light Street. The charges for such services, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, amounted to $345,928 for investment advisory expenses and $104,673 for administrative expenses which are recorded accordingly in the accompanying consolidated statements 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, 1999 been acquired at the beginning of the period (January 1, 1999), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have increased by approximately $2,940,000 and $1,625,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have decreased by approximately $1,328,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have been a decrease of approximately $13,000, if the real estate property acquired during the six months ended June 30, 1999 had been acquired at the beginning of the period. Several of these properties had little or no net rental activity prior to purchase by the Account because they were recently constructed. In such cases, there was little or no real estate income to offset the proforma decline in interest income, resulting in a net decrease in net investment income from this calculation. This decrease is not indicative of expected future results because all of these properties were substantially rented at the time of purchase. 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, ------------ 1999 $ 57,065,000 2000 58,569,000 2001 48,242,000 2002 41,117,000 2003 33,267,000 Thereafter 114,343,000 ------------ Total $352,603,000 ============ 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 June 30, 1999, the TIAA Real Estate Account had acquired a total of 48 real estate properties, including thirteen office properties, sixteen industrial properties, five neighborhood shopping centers and fourteen apartment complexes, representing 60.5% of the Account's total investment portfolio. The Account also held investments in commercial paper, representing 16.7% of the portfolio, U.S. government agency securities, representing 14.7% of the portfolio, real estate investment trusts (REITs), representing 7.4% of the portfolio and corporate bonds, representing 0.7% of the portfolio. The Account purchased one office property and one residential complex during the second quarter of 1999. Since the end of the quarter, the Account purchased four additional office properties for purchase prices totaling approximately $292,314,000. 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. Through April 30, 1999, the Account owned a controlling 90% interest in a partnership owning seven office buildings throughout the U.S. Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Account's consolidated financial statements to that date reflected 100% of the value of the partnership's assets, with the 10% partner's interest reflected as a minority interest. On April 30, 1999, the Account purchased the 10% minority interest of the other partner in the partnership through a wholly-owned subsidiary. Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 The Account's total net return was 4.12% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 4.18% for the same period in 1998. This slight decrease was due in part to the fact that short-term interest rates declined during the first six months of 1999, and the Account's properties taken together had greater appreciation in the first six months of 1998 compared with the same period of 1999. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $45,568,234 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $33,166,118 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a 37% increase. This increase was the result of a 48% increase in net assets and a 50% increase in the Account's real estate holdings from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $7,687,645 and $5,751,177 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. This increase was due to several factors. The increase in market value of the Account's REIT holdings resulted in net unrealized appreciation of $4,254,526 for first six months of 1999 as compared with an unrealized loss of $7,403,437 on the Account's marketable securities for the 17 same period of 1998. The Account's net unrealized appreciation on its real estate investments went down by $2,386,333 during the first six months of 1999, compared with an increase of $12,823,405 in the same period of 1998. This difference was due in part to the fact that real estate owned by the Account at June 30, 1998 had appreciated more during the first six months of 1998 than the real estate owned by the Account at June 30, 1999 had appreciated during the first six months of 1999. In addition, during the first quarter of 1999, the Account sold the Metro Center office property and realized a gain of $6,205,560; in realizing the gain, however, unrealized appreciation on the Account's properties was reduced by $5,297,605. The Account's other properties appreciated in value by $2,911,272 during the first six months of 1999. The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 73% and 69% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by marketable securities investments. Gross real estate rental income was $54,196,751 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $37,656,247 for the same period in 1998. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account - from 37 properties as of June 30, 1998 to 48 properties as of June 30, 1999. Interest income on the Account's short- and intermediate- term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 totaled $9,773,575 and $7,225,583, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $3,952,403 and $3,856,819, respectively, for the same periods. Shares of REITs totaled 7.4% of the Account investments as of June 30, 1999 and 12.8% as of June 30, 1998. Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $17,424,461 of which $5,878,391 was attributable to real estate taxes and $11,546,070 represented operating expenses. 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 was attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first six months of 1999 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 of $2,422,056 and $1,522,547, respectively, for investment advisory services, $1,752,132 and $1,225,605, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $755,846 and $350,029, respectively, for the mortality and expense risk charges and the liquidity guarantee charges. Such expenses increased as a result of the larger net asset base in the Account. Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 The Account's total net return was 2.51% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2.13% for the same period in 1998. This difference was due to the increase in value of 18 the Account's marketable securities during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $23,375,431 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $18,180,455 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a 29% increase. This increase was the result of a 48% increase in net assets and a 50% increase in the Account's real estate holdings from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $9,751,015 and $3,107,941 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase in unrealized appreciation of the Account's marketable securities. The Account posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $2,496,507 and $9,181,292 in the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. It also posted net unrealized gains on its marketable securities of $7,041,473 during the second quarter of 1999, as compared with net unrealized losses of $6,144,677 during the same period in 1998, resulting primarily from fluctuations in the market value of the Account's REIT holdings. The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 72% and 69% of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses) during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by investments in marketable securities. Gross real estate rental income was $27,997,860 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $20,002,915 for the same period in 1998. The higher real estate income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 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, 1999 and June 30, 1998 totaled $5,409,410 and $4,007,501, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $1,908,101 and $2,087,297, respectively, for the same periods. Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $9,170,785, of which $3,205,340 was attributable to real estate taxes and $5,965,445 represented operating expenses. 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 was attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three month period ended June 30, 1999 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account. The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 of $1,377,170 and $824,282, respectively, for investment advisory services, $947,042 and $718,609, respectively, for administrative and distribution services and $444,943 and $194,237, 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, 1999 over the three months ended June 30, 1998. 19 Liquidity and Capital Resources Since September 16, 1996, TIAA had 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. At June 30, 1998, the Account had redeemed $101,002,865 of its seed money investment. By the end of 1998, the Account had redeemed its entire seed money investment. For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Account received $61,559,407 and $46,171,227, respectively, in premiums and $190,461,640 and $194,565,164, 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, 1999 and June 30, 1998, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its REITs, short-and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash) had a value of $585,568,454 and $423,876,467, respectively. The REIT holdings at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 were $110,132,043 and $130,329,477, 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. Year 2000 Issues TIAA and the Account depend on the smooth functioning of computer systems to operate. The Account, the Account's properties, and participant services could be affected if TIAA's computer systems, the Account's property computer systems, or those of its external service providers fail or incorrectly process or calculate date-related information on or after January 1, 2000. TIAA is dedicated to providing uninterrupted, high-quality service before, during, and after the Year 2000. To achieve this goal, we have developed and have been actively carrying out an extensive Year 2000 plan to remediate, test and certify all internal computer systems, and to verify, to the extent possible, that external service providers will be ready for the Year 2000. To date, we have completed testing and initial certification of our mission critical internal corporate systems. We are in the process of testing the critical interfaces we have with our major service providers, vendors, and suppliers. In particular, TIAA has been actively working with all those responsible for property computer systems, i.e., management companies and certain tenants, to assure that they have developed and are implementing plans to remediate and test property systems in a timely manner. In addition, we are making contingency plans intended to lessen the effect unexpected systems failures (internal and external) may have on operations. 20 While we have taken steps we believe reasonably address the Year 2000 problem, we can't guarantee complete success or eliminate the possibility that interaction with outside computer systems could affect Account operations. If the systems the Account relies upon do fail or produce faulty data, there could be delays in properly processing transactions, or we may be unable temporarily to engage in normal business activities. Also, the Account's performance could be affected if the properties, companies or government entities in which the Account invests are negatively affected by the Year 2000. PART II.
