      and December 31, 1993; statements of operations for the three
      and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993; and the
      statement of cash flows for the nine months ended 
      September 30, 1994 and 1993.  These statements are condensed

      for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
      year.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL          
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Nine
Months Ended September 30, 1993 -

Net assets decreased from $42,124,648 at December 31, 1993 to 
$38,508,273 at September 30, 1994.  During this same time period,
the accumulation unit value increased to $1.09.  The Account
experienced net terminations amounting to $4,090,580 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $5,099,172 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1993.
   
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
$450,652 compared to $1,483,866 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1993.  The difference was primarily due to the
Account's recognition of a greater amount of unrealized
depreciation on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures
during the nine months of 1994 than during the same period of 1993,
as well as the recognition during the same period of 1993 of
approximately $481,000 of unrealized appreciation on its
participation in the mortgage loan and wholly-owned real estate
investment.

Interest income represents income earned on the Account's
investment in short-term securities and the participation in a
mortgage loan.  Interest generated from short-term investments
decreased to $20,847 from $137,252 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  This decrease is due
primarily to a lower average amount invested in short-term
securities.  Income generated from participation in the mortgage
loan remained relatively unchanged compared to the corresponding
period in 1993.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Account's equity
in earnings of its unconsolidated joint ventures (N/S Associates,
Monmouth Associates, and 1225 Connecticut) was $1,472,882 which
represents a decrease from $1,610,385 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1994.  The decrease is primarily due to an adjustment
to the recording of the reimbursements from tenants for real estate
taxes and common area costs related to N/S Associates.  

In 1993, the Account recognized net unrealized depreciation of
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately
$165,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.  This net
depreciation was primarily due to the recognition in the first
quarter of 1993 of unrealized appreciation of $327,000 related to a
slight adjustment of the capitalization rate used in valuing the
1225 Connecticut office building, offset by the recognition of
unrealized depreciation of the investment in N/S Associates during
the second quarter of 1993 in the amount of approximately $320,000,
which was related to a write down in the estimated value of
Northridge Mall, and by the recognition of unrealized depreciation
in the amount of approximately $173,000 relating to the 1225
Connecticut office building.  This latter adjustment to 1225
Connecticut's estimated value was consistent with a valuation
performed by an independent appraiser.  In 1994, the Account <PAGE>
PAGE 9
recognized net unrealized depreciation of investments in 
unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $498,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994.  This net depreciation was
primarily due to a write down in the estimated value of Northridge
Mall, partially offset by an increase in the estimated value of
Southridge Mall in the second quarter of 1994.

Northridge Mall continues to be adversely affected by the
perception that it is an unsafe place to shop.  This perception has
resulted in declining sales and occupancy over the past three
years.  Compounding the problem of declining sales are the high
operating costs for tenants at the mall due to high real estate
taxes.  Occupancy has also been affected by tenant bankruptcies
during 1993 and 1994.  As of September 30, 1994, occupancy of the
mall shops was approximately 79%, including temporary tenants under
short term leases.  Same store sales per square foot for mall
tenants decreased approximately 6 percent for the nine months of
1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.  As a result of these
factors, it is expected that the Account will recognize further
unrealized depreciation in the fourth quarter of 1994 on its
investment in Northridge Mall through N/S Associates.

To counter the negative perception for Northridge Mall, N/S
Associates has implemented certain capital improvements and
operational programs to improve the shopping center's safety and
appearance, as well as instituted certain marketing efforts to
enhance its image.  However, elimination of the negative perception
is expected to take some time.  In addition, N/S Associates is
seeking to increase occupancy at the shopping center by
aggressively marketing space for new and renewal tenants, as well
as continuing to cooperate with existing tenants who need rent
reductions in order to retain occupancy of their space.

Same store sales per square foot for mall tenants at Southridge
Mall increased approximately 1 percent for the first nine months of
1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.  Occupancy of the mall
shops at the shopping center decreased from approximately 92
percent at the beginning of the year to approximately 89 percent as
of September 30, 1994, including temporary tenants with short term
leases.  High operating costs for tenants attributable to high real
estate taxes for the shopping center somewhat limits the ability of
N/S Associates to increase rents there.

The Account paid asset management fees of $612,652 and $606,669 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
The Account also paid a mortality and expense risk fee of $380,282
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $415,505
for the corresponding period in 1993.  The increase in asset
management fees is due to an increase in the incentive asset
management fee for 1993 payable to the Investment Adviser in 1994
as compared to that for 1992 payable in 1993.  The increase was
partially offset by a decrease in the monthly asset management fee
in 1994 due to a decrease in the Account's assets.  The decrease in
mortality and expense risk fee was also due to a decrease in the
Account's assets.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to the Three
Months Ended September 30, 1993 -

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was
$285,616 compared to $464,909 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1993.  The difference was primarily due to the
Account's recognition of unrealized appreciation on its
participation in mortgage loan and investment in wholly-owned real
estate property, which was partially offset by unrealized
depreciation on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in
1993, compared to unrealized depreciation of $1,740 on its
participation in mortgage loan in 1994.

During the three months ended September 30, 1994, $519,374 of
income was derived from the Account's equity in earnings of its
unconsolidated joint ventures (N/S Associates, Monmouth Associates,
and 1225 Connecticut) compared to $491,683 for the corresponding
three months in 1993.

In addition, the Account generated rental income of $610,243 for
the three months ended September 30, 1994 from its wholly-owned
real estate investment, West Springfield Terrace Apartments,
compared to $570,527 for the three months ended September 30, 1993,
with the increase primarily attributable to increased average rents
and an increase in occupancy at the property.  Expenses related to
the wholly-owned real estate investment totaled $465,906 for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $452,540 for the
corresponding period in 1993.

The Account paid total asset management and mortality and expense
risk fees for the three months ended September 30, 1994 of $421,374
compared to $393,637 for the corresponding period in 1993.  The
increase in asset management fees is due to the increase in the
incentive asset management payable in 1994, as discussed on Page 9. 
The decrease in mortality and expense risk fee reflects a decrease
in total assets of the Account.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 -

At September 30, 1994, the Account had cash and investments in
short-term securities of approximately $193,745 as compared to
$2,665,000 at December 31, 1993.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to net contract terminations during the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.  The Account has experienced net contract
terminations in each of the last 12 quarters.  

The liquidity requirements of the Account are generally met by
funds provided from the Account's short-term investments, cash
distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, operating cash
flow, interest income, proceeds from sales of contracts, and
borrowings under the line of credit from IDS Life discussed below. 
The primary uses of funds currently are expected to be for property
operating expenses, asset management and mortality and expense risk
fees, payments for contract terminations and contributions to pay
the Account's share of the financing of the Monmouth Mall
renovation discussed below.<PAGE>
PAGE 11
In March 1994, the Account obtained a revolving line of credit for
up to $10 million from IDS Life to pay for contract surrenders and
other obligations under the contracts.  The line of credit is for a
one-year term and is automatically renewed at each anniversary for
an additional one-year term subject to termination by one party
giving 30 days' prior written notice of termination to the other
party.  Borrowings under the line of credit must be made in
increments (or multiples) of $100,000.  Outstanding borrowings
under the line of credit bear interest at a floating rate equal to
the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), adjusted on a
monthly basis.  The line of credit requires monthly payments of
interest only until the earlier of maturity or termination of the
line of credit, when the entire outstanding principal plus any
accrued and unpaid interest on the line of credit will be due and
payable.  Outstanding principal may be repaid in whole or in part
in increments (or multiples) of $100,000, together with any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, at any time without premium or
penalty.  Borrowings under the line of credit are generally
unsecured, although IDS Life will have a right to set off against
any deposits or credits of the Account held by IDS Life for
outstanding borrowings.  As of November 10, 1994, $1,700,000 were
outstanding under the line of credit.  The proceeds of these
borrowings were used to pay contract terminations.

If borrowings under the line of credit do not provide sufficient
liquidity, the Account expects to consider additional options,
which could include among other things, the sale of real estate
related investment(s).  In such event, a sale or sales of real
estate related assets may be required under circumstances that
could result in a realization of less than the full value of the
asset or assets sold.  The Account does not expect to acquire
additional real estate related investments until contract purchase
proceeds exceed contract termination payments.

Distributions received from joint ventures increased by $137,400
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the
same period in 1993.  The increase was primarily due to a
resumption in late 1993 of quarterly distributions from 1225
Investment Corporation, which deferred distributions during part of
1993 pending a refinancing of its mortgage loan.  The increase in
distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures was
partially offset by the elimination of distributions from Monmouth
Associates, which has used its cash reserves and cash flow to
provide funds for the initial draw downs under its renovation loan,
as discussed below.  It is expected that Monmouth Associates will
continue to use its cash flow, to the extent available, to fund
amounts which will be drawn down under the renovation loan, which
closed in May 1994.

The renovation loan for Monmouth Mall is in the maximum principal
amount of $29.1 million and bears interest on the outstanding
principal amount at a rate of 10.5% per annum.  Prior to completion
of the renovation (and subject to funding of the maximum amount of
the renovation loan), monthly interest on the loan may be accrued
and added to principal, and after completion of the renovation, the
loan requires monthly payments of interest only until maturity of
the loan when the entire principal balance and any accrued and
unpaid interest will be due.  As additional consideration for
making the renovation loan, Monmouth Associates' participation in <PAGE>
PAGE 12
certain levels of proceeds from a joint sale or refinancing of the
fee and leasehold interests in the property will be increased until
it has received aggregate payments equal to an internal rate of
return of 11 percent per annum on its investments in the first
leasehold mortgage loan and the land subject to the ground lease. 
The renovation loan will mature contemporaneously with the first
leasehold mortgage loan in October 2003, subject to (i)
acceleration in the event of default or certain other events,
including a joint sale of the entire fee and leasehold interests in
Monmouth Mall, or (ii) extension of the loan maturity by Monmouth
Associates under certain circumstances for up to 20 years on the
same loan terms prior to the extension (other than the maturity
date).  The renovation loan is secured by a leasehold mortgage
subordinated to the leasehold mortgages securing the first
leasehold mortgage loan and the loans previously made for certain
tenant improvements or other ordinary capital expenditures, and is
cross-defaulted with those loans as well as the ground lease.  The
renovation loan is generally non-recourse to the borrower/lessee,
and payment of principal and accrued interest of the renovation
loan out of proceeds from a joint sale or refinancing of the fee
and leasehold interests in the property is subordinated to the
payment of certain other amounts payable to Monmouth Associates in
connection with the ground lease and the first leasehold mortgage
loan.

The estimated cost of the renovation is $28,500,000.  As of the
date of this report, Monmouth Associates has funded approximately
$5.8 million and these fundings were made from cash reserves held
by Monmouth Associates and its cash flow from interest and ground
rent payments received from the borrower/lessee.  It is currently
anticipated that additional draw downs under the renovation loan
commencing in December of this year will be funded by capital
contributions made to Monmouth Associates by its joint venture
partners pro rata based upon their respective interests.  Based
upon its 6.97% interest in Monmouth Associates, the Account's share
of the additional capital contributions would be approximately
$1,134,000.  In addition to financing the renovation, Monmouth
Associates may be required to make certain additional loans to pay
a portion of costs of certain tenant improvements or other ordinary
capital expenditures.

Until the Monmouth renovation is finished, currently anticipated to
be in the fourth quarter of 1995, it is expected that there will be
lower than normal leasing and occupancy at the shopping center,
primarily as a result of the need to hold some tenant spaces vacant
and to have certain tenants occupy spaces on a temporary basis. 
The occupancy of mall space at the shopping center as of 
September 30, 1994 was approximately 50 percent, which represents a
decrease from 76 percent from the previous quarter due to the
continuing renovation.  However, the shopping center is
approximately 81 percent leased, including leases whose terms will
commence after renovation of tenant space permits occupancy.

Monmouth Associates is also considering issues related to the
proposed merger of R.H. Macy and Company and Federated Department
Stores as it may affect the Macy's and Abraham & Straus department 
stores at Monmouth Mall.  Abraham & Straus is owned by Federated
Department Stores.

The Account has a loan outstanding in the principal amount of
approximately $7,870,000 as of September 30, 1994, secured by its
wholly-owned real estate investment.  The loan has an original term
of seven years and bears interest at a rate of 9.5 percent per
annum.  The loan requires monthly payments of principal and
interest aggregating $824,000 per annum until August of 1996 when
the remaining principal balance of approximately $7,690,000 and any
accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable.  

In January 1994, 1225 Investment Corporation refinanced its
mortgage loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $1,667,000, with a new first mortgage loan in the
principal amount of $7,000,000 that bears interest at 6.98 percent
per annum.  The new loan requires monthly payments of interest only
aggregating approximately $489,000 per annum until maturity in
February 2001 when the entire principal amount together with
accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable.  1225
Investment Corporation intends to use the approximately $5,250,000
of excess proceeds from the refinancing to pay for lobby and other
common area renovation costs, a sprinkler system and certain tenant
improvement costs related to the Ernst & Young lease extension, as
well as a reserve for additional tenant improvement costs and
leasing commissions anticipated to be incurred upon the expiration
of certain existing leases.  To date, approximately $3.9 million
has been spent for the renovation and other capital costs and
leasing commissions.  In addition, leases have been, or are in the
process of being, obtained to make the office and retail space 100
percent leased.

N/S Associates undertakes asbestos removal from time to time at
portions of the Northridge and Southridge Malls as tenant spaces
are vacated and prior to occupancy by new tenants.  The cost of
such asbestos removal generally will be provided out of cash flows
from the properties.  

Amounts expended by N/S Associates for capital items through the
nine months of 1994 were approximately $1,445,000, including
amounts for replacement of an escalator at Southridge Mall and
improvement of interior lighting and partial roof replacement at
Northridge Mall.  It is currently anticipated that amounts incurred
for capital items for all of 1994 will be approximately $1.5
million.  This represents a decrease of approximately $1.1 million
from the originally budgeted amount that is attributable primarily
to a reduction in actual leasing compared to anticipated leasing,
and a resulting decrease in tenant improvement and asbestos removal
costs, at both Northridge and Southridge Malls during the current
year.  N/S Associates currently expects that capital improvements
previously budgeted but not incurred in 1994 will be incurred in
1995.

N/S Associates has executed a commitment with an institutional
lender for a loan in the principal amount of $35 million to
refinance the existing mortgage loan secured by Southridge Mall. 
Proceeds from the new loan would also be used to repay the two
existing mortgage loans secured by Northridge Mall and to pay
approximately $2.9 million of the capital improvements currently
expected to be incurred for Northridge and Southridge Malls during
1995.  Under the terms of the commitment, the new loan is to have a
term of seven years, bear interest at 8.35 percent per annum and <PAGE>
PAGE 14
require monthly payments of interest only prior to maturity.  The
new loan is expected to result in a cash flow savings since the
current constants on the existing mortgage loans average
approximately 12 percent.  The closing of the refinancing is
expected to occur in early 1995, although there is no assurance
that the refinancing will be completed.

Affiliates of the Investment Adviser have entered into a contract
to sell their assets to an unaffiliated third party that acts as
adviser to institutional investors with respect to real estate
investments.  In addition, substantially all of the management
personnel of these affiliates will also become management personnel
of the purchaser or its affiliates if the sale is completed.  These
affiliates of the Investment Adviser include JMB Properties
Company, which acts as property manager for the 1225 Connecticut
office building and West Springfield Terrace Apartments properties,
and certain other entities that act as advisers to the
institutional investors who constitute all or some of the other
partners or shareholders of N/S Associates, Monmouth Associates,
and 1225 Investment Corporation.  In the event that the sale is
completed, it is expected that the successor to JMB Properties
Company's assets would act as property manager of the 1225
Connecticut office building and West Springfield Terrace Apartments
after the sale on the same terms that existed prior to the sale and
that the sale would not otherwise have a significant effect on the
Account's real estate related investments.  However, under the
terms of the partnership agreements for N/S Associates and Monmouth
Associates, and under the terms of a shareholders' agreement for
1225 Investment Corporation, major decisions concerning the joint
venture partnerships and their real estate investments are to be
made by the vote or approval of the partner or partners holding a
majority of the percent interests, and certain major decisions
concerning 1225 Investment Corporation and its real estate
investment are to made by shareholders owning at least 96 percent
of the corporation's outstanding stock.  In the event that the sale
is completed, the other partners in N/S Associates and Monmouth
Associates and certain of the other shareholders of 1225 Investment
Corporation would not be advised or managed by entities affiliated
with the Investment Adviser.

At September 30, 1994, real property investments (through two
unconsolidated joint ventures, N/S Associates and 1225 Connecticut
and a wholly-owned property, West Springfield Terrace Apartments),
mortgage loan and land sale-leaseback investments (through an
unconsolidated joint venture, Monmouth Associates, and a
participation in the loan for Riverpoint Center) and short-term
investments represented 72 percent, 27.5 percent and .5 percent of
total assets, respectively.  The Account currently intends to
maintain an asset mix of 50 percent to 70 percent in real property
investments, 15 percent to 40 percent in mortgage loans or sale-
leaseback investments, and the remaining portion in short-term or
intermediate-term liquid debt securities.<PAGE>
