PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General

IDS Life Account RE (the Account) was established by a resolution
of the Board of Directors of IDS Life Insurance Company (IDS Life)
as a separate asset account, pursuant to Minnesota law. The
Account was formed to make real estate related investments in
connection with the sale of individual deferred variable annuity
contracts (Contracts) offered by IDS Life. The Account commenced
operations on August 7, 1987 when the annuity contracts were first
offered for sale to the public. Effective May 1, 1995, the Account
discontinued new contract sales. The Account holds assets that are
segregated from all of IDS Life's other assets and are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business of
IDS Life.

The Account is not registered as an investment management company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Account is under the
control and management of the Board of Directors of IDS Life and
its officers. The owners of the Contracts have no voting rights
with respect to the Account.

IDS Life does not guarantee the investment performance of the
Account and is not responsible for the liabilities of the Account.
However, IDS Life is responsible for the fulfillment of the terms
of each Contract, including payment of death benefits and the
guarantees of the minimum annuity purchase rates contained in the
Contracts.

Investment Objective

The investment objectives of the Account previously were to provide
for payment of retirement income under the Contracts by seeking to:
(i) preserve and protect the Account's assets in real (i.e.,
inflation-adjusted) terms; (ii) provide for compounding of income
through reinvestment of cash flow from investments; and (iii)
provide for increases in income through capital appreciation of
real property investments and, to the extent available, through
participation in the capital appreciation, gross revenues or income
of the real properties subject to mortgage loans or land sale-
leasebacks. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives
of the Account will be attained. The assets of the Account have
been invested primarily in real estate related investments in
accordance with the diversification requirements regarding variable
annuities contained in Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code").

The Account previously sought to have approximately 50 to 70
percent of the Account's assets invested in
income-producing real property investments such as office
buildings, shopping centers, apartment complexes and other real
properties, with approximately 15 to 40 percent of the
Account's assets invested in mortgage loans and land
sale-leaseback investments, which could include participation in <PAGE>
PAGE 3
the appreciation or the gross revenues or income of the real
properties that are subject to the mortgage loans or land sale-
leaseback investments. The remaining portion of the Account's
assets generally were to be invested in short-term debt instruments
and intermediate term bonds with maturities of up to five years.

The Account has experienced substantial net contract terminations
over the past several years, which have adversely affected its
liquidity and ability to acquire additional real estate related
investments. As a result, the Account does not intend to acquire
additional real estate related investments. Further, the Account
intends to liquidate the real estate related investments that it
currently holds when it becomes advantageous or necessary to do so.

IDS Life has purchased and expects to continue to purchase
accumulation units in order to maintain the Account's liquidity.
IDS Life makes these payments so that no contract holder is
disadvantaged because sales of new contracts have been
discontinued. These payments for accumulation units have been made
to enable the Account to pay off amounts borrowed under its line of
credit with IDS Life and as needed in order to fund all of the
Account's obligations under the contracts such as paying
surrenders. By purchasing accumulation units, IDS Life has an
ownership interest in the Account and participates in the increase
or decrease in value of the Account's investments just as other
owners of accumulation units do. IDS Life may realize a gain or
loss on its accumulation units when redeemed.

IDS Life currently expects to hold the accumulation units it
purchases until the surrender of all outstanding contracts or until
the Account's liquidity improves (through, for example, one or more
sales of real estate related investments) thereby permitting the
Account to satisfy its anticipated contract obligations. Because
IDS Life may purchase a significant amount of accumulation units,
IDS Life may be subject to certain conflicts of interest it would
not otherwise have if it had not purchased such accumulation units,
including, among other things, a conflict in approving periodic
valuations of real estate related investments made by the
Investment Adviser, JMB Annuity Advisers.

Competition

As of December 31, 1995, IDS Life was aware of 3 other real estate
variable annuity products that have been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and that are being offered for
sale by competitors. These products differed from the Account in
various features although their structure and investment objectives
were similar to the Account's prior to its termination of new
contract sales. In addition, the Account competed against other
real estate investment funds and registered investment companies
including limited partnerships, real estate investment trusts, unit
investment trusts, pension and profit sharing trusts, corporations,
etc., all of which may or may not be offered for sale by commercial
and investment banks, realty corporations, insurance companies,
savings and loan associations, diversified financial service
companies, and other financial service intermediaries.
<PAGE>
PAGE 4
The Account had been in competition for real property investments,
mortgage loans and land sale-leasebacks with numerous other
entities, as well as with individuals, corporations, real estate
investment trusts, real estate partnerships and other entities
engaged in real estate investment activities, including certain
affiliates of the JMB Annuity Advisers (the Investment Adviser) and
IDS Life. The real properties that are the subject of the
Account's real estate related investments are in competition with
other real properties (including those in which the Investment
Adviser, IDS Life or their affiliates may have an interest) in the
areas in which they are located, particularly with respect to
obtaining new tenants and the retention of existing tenants. Such
competition is based upon, among other things, effective rents
charged, services to tenants and the facilities available.

Employees

IDS Life Account RE does not directly employ any persons. The
business of the Account is under the control and management of IDS
Life's Board of Directors, its principal officers, and its
investment committee to the Account. The Investment Adviser, an
affiliate of JMB Realty Corporation, provides investment selection,
management, disposition, and consulting services with respect to
the real estate related investments of the Account pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement.

PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SECURITY HOLDERS MATTERS

The Contracts were offered for sale through the registered
representatives of IDS Life. There is no established public
trading market for the Contracts. In addition, the Contracts were
not bid for, but were sold at the Account's current accumulation
unit value. A contract owner may elect to surrender all or part of
the Contract while the Contract is in force prior to the earlier of
the retirement date or the death of the first to die of the
annuitant or owner. A description of surrenders, withdrawals and
transfers is hereby incorporated herein by reference to pages 62 to
63 under the heading "Contract Surrender" and 67 to 68 under the
headings "Suspension and Delay of Payments" and "Transfer of
Ownership" in the Registrant's prospectus included in Form S-1 (as
amended), File Number 33-13375, to be filed April 1, 1996, which
pages are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. For the
year ended December 31, 1995, the high and low accumulation unit
values were $1.10 and $.99 per unit, respectively. The number of
contract owners at December 31, 1995 was 1,260.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For the Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 1994 -

Net assets decreased from $35,993,731 at December 31, 1994 to
$35,906,465 at December 31, 1995. During this same time period,
the accumulation unit value decreased from $1.05 to $.99. The
Account experienced net sales amounting to $2,291,255 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 compared to net terminations of $5,184,527
for the year ended December 31, 1994. The net sales for the year
ended December 31, 1995 include approximately $24,700,000 for
accumulation units purchased by IDS Life, which has been used to
repay principal and accrued interest on the Account's revolving
loan payable to IDS Life and to pay for contract surrenders, as
discussed more fully below.

Recorded net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 was
$2,378,521 compared to $946,390 for the year ended
December 31, 1994.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily
represents income earned on the Account's investment in the
participation in a mortgage loan (Riverpoint Shopping Center).
Income generated from participation in the mortgage loan remained
relatively unchanged compared to the corresponding period in 1994.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1994 also included
interest earned on short-term investments of approximately $20,847.
The Silo Electronic store (12,100 sq. ft.) at Riverpoint Shopping
Center vacated its space in the third quarter 1995, and the
borrower is pursuing its legal remedies regarding such unpaid
amounts. The borrower has re-leased the space to a book store for
three months at a substantially lower rent. The borrower
subsequently leased the space for five years with rent commencing
on July 1, 1996. As a result of this vacancy, the borrower has
notified the lenders that it is experiencing financial difficulties
and has approached the lenders regarding a loan modification. The
lenders and borrower have reached an agreement in principle to
defer payment of debt service for a certain period of time.
However, there can be no assurance that such agreement will be
finalized under these terms or any others. As of the date of this
report, certain escrow payments and participation interest are due
to the lenders; however, the borrower is current in its monthly
debt service payments.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account's recorded equity
in earnings of its unconsolidated joint ventures (N/S Associates,
Monmouth Associates and 1225 Connecticut) was $1,924,741, compared
to $2,094,682 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease
in earnings was primarily the result of N/S Associates' reduced
earnings as a result of lower rental income achieved at Northridge
Mall due to lower occupancy and higher interest expense
attributable to prepayment charges incurred in the first quarter of
1995 in connection with the repayment and refinancing of the<PAGE>
PAGE 7
mortgage loans on Northridge and Southridge Malls. The decrease
was partially offset by the recognition in the first quarter of
1995 of income attributable to certain lease termination fees
received by N/S Associates in the prior quarter. In addition,
during 1995 Monmouth Associates wrote off the receivable balance of
$3,576,000 primarily related to the accrued interest resulting from
the difference between the accrual and pay rates recorded prior to
April 1992, due to the uncertainty as to the collectibility of
these amounts.

In addition, the Account recorded rental income of $2,379,439 for
the year ended December 31, 1995 from its wholly-owned real estate
investment, West Springfield Terrace Apartments, compared to
$2,235,867 for the year ended December 31, 1994, primarily due to a
modest increase in effective rental rates. Expenses related to the
wholly-owned real estate investment totaled $1,756,139 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 compared to $1,792,255 for the
corresponding period in 1994.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Account recognized net
unrealized depreciation of participation in mortgage loan of
$27,817, and net unrealized appreciation on its investment in
wholly-owned real estate property of $138,764 due to a reduction in
estimated capital expenditures to be required in future years at
the property, and net unrealized depreciation on its investment in
unconsolidated joint ventures of $3,999,782. Approximately
$2,199,000, $1,748,000 and $53,000 of unrealized depreciation
recognized by the Account was attributable to the Account's
investments in N/S Associates (Northridge Mall and Southridge
Mall), Monmouth Mall and 1225 Connecticut, respectively. The
unrealized depreciation recognized is the result of reductions in
the estimated value of each of the investments. The decrease in
estimated value for the investment in Northridge Mall is attributed
to poor sales, a number of tenant bankruptcies, lower occupancy and
the leasing challenges it faces as discussed below. In addition,
the decrease in estimated value for the investment in Southridge
Mall is attributed to recent tenant bankruptcies and the amendment
of Kohl's lease as discussed below. In addition, the trend of
recent bankruptcies and general market conditions for retailers
could have an adverse effect on both revenues and occupancy at both
Northridge and Southridge Malls in the future. The decrease in
estimated value for the investment in Monmouth Mall is attributable
to lower sales, the slow lease up of renovated mall space, and the
uncertainty of Macy's renewing their operating covenant. While
Macy's has an obligation to operate a retail store at this location
through the year 2005, their obligation to operate the store as a
Macy's Department Store expired in 1995. The Macy's store
continues to operate at the Monmouth Mall.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Account recognized net
unrealized depreciation of investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures of approximately $2,362,000. Approximately $217,000,
$751,000 and $1,428,000 of unrealized depreciation recognized by
the Account was attributable to the Account's investments in the
1225 Connecticut office building, Monmouth Mall and Northridge
Mall, respectively, partially offset by a slight amount of<PAGE>
PAGE 8
unrealized appreciation of approximately $34,000 in the Account's
investment in Southridge Mall for the year.

Federated Department Stores converted the Abraham & Straus store at
Monmouth Mall to a Stern's store in early 1995. Monmouth
Associates may provide additional financing to the borrower/lessee
to pay future costs necessary for a long-term solution to replace
Abraham & Straus as a department store tenant at Monmouth Mall.
The recognition of unrealized depreciation in 1994 for the
Account's investment in Monmouth Mall primarily reflected the
Account's estimated share of the financing expected to be needed in
the future to pay these costs.

The decrease in the estimated value of the investment in the 1225
Connecticut office building in 1994 was primarily attributable to a
reduction in the assumed long-term rental rate growth that could be
achieved for the property in future years. The decrease in the
estimated value for the investment in the Northridge Mall in 1994
was primarily attributable to a reduction in anticipated leasing
activity and the expected rents to be achieved for the property.
In general, in 1994, it was expected that the vacancy at Northridge
Mall would lease up more slowly and the rents obtained would be
lower than previously anticipated.

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, 1994 and 1995. As of December 31, 1995, occupancy of
the mall shops was approximately 86%, including temporary tenants
under short term leases.

To counter the negative perception of 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. Certain positive sales trends appear to
indicate a modest improvement; 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 through
leasing incentives, as well as continuing to cooperate with
existing tenants who need short-term rent reductions in order to
retain occupancy of their space. Part of the leasing strategy
includes targeting certain well-recognized retailers as a group
that would become tenants at the shopping center. It is expected
that the draw of this group of tenants would help the shopping
center gain leasing momentum and aid in future leasing efforts.

Kohl's Department Store, a successful tenant occupying
approximately 66,000 square feet of space at Southridge Mall,
approached N/S Associates regarding an expansion of its tenant
space and a reduction in its overall leasing costs. During the
third quarter of 1995, N/S Associates and Kohl's entered into an
amendment of its lease. Pursuant to the lease amendment, the term
of Kohl's lease has been extended from 2001 until 2015 and the<PAGE>
PAGE 9
tenant space has been increased by approximately 19,000 square feet
to approximately 85,000 square feet, exclusive of storage space.
Kohl's is required to pay annual base rent of $9.25 per square
foot, as well as one-half of its pro rata share for real estate
taxes and a fixed amount for common area maintenance expense.
Kohl's is also obligated to pay as additional rent a percentage of
its gross receipts in excess of a minimum amount of annual sales to
be determined after the tenant has occupancy of the entire leased
space. N/S Associates is responsible for paying the costs of
asbestos removal for the tenant space, which is estimated to be
approximately $1,250,000. Kohl's is obligated to pay other costs
associated with the leased space, including tenant improvements and
lease buy-out and relocation costs, if any, of other tenants (one
of whose lease continues until 2001) that currently occupy a
portion of the expansion space. The lease amendment also contains
an operating covenant pursuant to which Kohl's is obligated to
operate its retail store at Southridge Mall until 2005, subject to
earlier termination under certain circumstances. Although the
lease amendment reduces Kohl's overall rent, the expansion of its
space and the extension of its lease term is expected to help
stabilize the shopping center on a long-term basis by ensuring
Kohl's continued occupancy and contribution to customer traffic.
As of December 31, 1995, occupancy of Southridge Mall which is
owned by N/S Associates was approximately 97%, including temporary
tenants under short-term leases.

The Account paid asset management and mortality expense risk fees
of $1,086,516 and $1,268,164 for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The decrease in fees is primarily due to
the payment of the incentive asset management fees of $137,299 paid
in 1994 to the Investment Adviser based upon the performance of the
Account's real property investments relative to the FRC Property
Index. No incentive asset management fee was payable in 1995.

For the Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 1993 -

Net assets decreased from $42,124,648 at December 31, 1993 to
$35,993,731 at December 31, 1994. During this same time period,
the accumulation unit value decreased from $1.08 to $1.05. The
Account experienced net terminations amounting to $5,184,527 for
the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to $6,873,380 for the
year ended December 31, 1993.

Net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 1994 was
$(946,390) compared to $1,816,417 for the year ended December 31,
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 1994 than
during 1993, as well as the recognition during 1993 of
approximately $481,000 of unrealized appreciation on its
participation in the mortgage loan and wholly-owned real estate
investment.

Interest income represented income earned on the Account's
investment in short-term securities and the participation in a<PAGE>
PAGE 10
mortgage loan. Interest generated from short-term investments
decreased to $20,847 from $161,348 for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to a
lower average amount invested in short-term securities. Income
generated from participation in the mortgage loan for 1994 remained
relatively unchanged compared to that for 1993.

For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Account's equity in
earnings of its unconsolidated joint ventures (N/S Associates,
Monmouth Associates, and 1225 Connecticut) was $2,094,682, which
was a decrease from $2,097,089 for the year ended December 31,
1993.

In addition, the Account generated rental income of $2,235,867 for
the year ended December 31, 1994 from its wholly-owned real estate
investment, West Springfield Terrace Apartments, compared to
$2,251,285 for the year ended December 31, 1993. Expenses related
to the wholly-owned real estate investment totaled $1,792,255 for
the year ended December 31, 1994 compared to $1,770,999 for the
corresponding period in 1993.

The Account paid total asset management and mortality expense risk
fees for the year ended December 31, 1994 of $1,268,164 compared to
$1,323,099 for 1993. The decrease in fees reflects a decrease in
the assets of the Account which was partially offset by an increase
in performance fees paid in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 1994 -

At December 31, 1995, the Account had cash of approximately
$587,000 as compared to approximately $205,000 at December 31,
1994. The Account financed a portion of the contract terminations
during the third and fourth quarters of 1995 through additional
investments made by IDS Life Insurance Company (IDS Life). The
Account had experienced net contract terminations in 14 consecutive
quarters with net sales (including accumulation units purchased by
IDS Life) in the last three quarters.

The liquidity requirements of the Account have generally been 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 and purchases of
accumulation units by 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 and
payments for contract terminations.

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. In June 1995, the revolving
credit loan balance of $9,500,000 and accrued interest were repaid
as discussed below.<PAGE>
PAGE 11
Effective May 1, 1995, new contract sales of the Account were
discontinued. Additional purchase payments continue to be accepted
for existing contracts in amounts specified in the Account's
prospectus, whether by means of the previously established bank
authorizations or otherwise. Existing contracts also continue to
be serviced and surrender requests will be honored.

IDS Life continues to purchase accumulation units in order to
maintain the Account and its liquidity. IDS Life makes these
payments so that no contract holder is disadvantaged because sales
of new contracts have been discontinued. The initial payments for
accumulation units that IDS Life made into the Account were used to
pay off the amount that the Account had borrowed under its
revolving line of credit. IDS Life expects to continue to make
additional payments into the Account for accumulation units as
needed in order to fund all of the Account's obligations under the
contracts such as paying death benefits and contract terminations.
As of December 31, 1995, IDS Life had purchased approximately
22,955,910 accumulation units.

By purchasing accumulation units, IDS Life has an ownership
interest in the Account. Since IDS Life does not purchase a
contract, it is not subject to surrender charges. However, IDS
Life, as holder of accumulation units, participates in the increase
or decrease in the value of the Account's investments just as other
owners of accumulation units do. IDS Life may realize a gain or
loss on its accumulation units when redeemed.

Since the Account has experienced substantial net contract
terminations over the past several years, the Account does not
intend to acquire additional real estate related investments.
Further, the Account intends to liquidate the real estate related
investments that it currently holds when it becomes advantageous or
necessary to do so. To the extent funds of the Account are not
used to pay obligations of the Account, including those under
existing contracts, or the redemption of accumulation units
purchased by IDS Life, such funds will be invested in short-term
debt instruments and possibly intermediate-term bonds with
maturities of up to five years.

Through December 31, 1995, Monmouth Associates had funded
approximately $21,476,000 of the renovation loan for Monmouth Mall.
Fundings of principal on the loan have been made from cash reserves
held by Monmouth Associates, cash flow from interest and ground
rent payments received from the borrower/lessee and capital <PAGE>
PAGE 12
contributions made to Monmouth Associates by its partners pro rata
based upon their respective interests. The aggregate amount of
capital contributions to finance the loan, including one made in
July 1995, is approximately $9,830,000. The Account's share of
these capital contributions is approximately $685,000. The
aggregate amount of the renovation loan, including accrued and
deferred interest, is currently expected to be approximately
$28,500,000. Remaining fundings for the renovation loan are
expected to be made from cash flow and funds currently held by
Monmouth Associates. Monmouth Associates may also be required to
make certain additional loans to pay a portion of the costs of
certain tenant improvements or other ordinary capital expenditures.
In addition, Monmouth Associates may provide additional financing
to the borrower/lessee in order to pay costs to be incurred in
connection with the replacement of a department store tenant at
Monmouth Mall. However, it is not currently expected that this
would occur during 1996.

The renovation is nearing completion with tenant improvement work
for one of the larger tenants and retainage work remaining. The
occupancy of mall shops and outparcel space at the shopping center
as of December 31, 1995 was approximately 77 percent. However, the
mall shops and outparcel space are approximately 86 percent leased,
including leases whose terms will commence after renovation of the
tenant space permits occupancy.

The Account has a loan outstanding in the principal amount of
approximately $7,770,000 as of December 31, 1995, secured by its
wholly-owned real estate investment, West Springfield Terrace
Apartments. 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 November of 1996 when the remaining principal balance
of approximately $7,704,000 and any accrued and unpaid interest
will be due and payable. The current budget for capital
expenditures during 1996 is approximately $207,000 for painting,
carpet replacement and other capital costs.

In February 1995, N/S Associates obtained a new mortgage loan
secured by Southridge Mall in the principal amount of $35,000,000.
The new mortgage loan has a term of seven years, bears interest at
8.35 percent per annum and requires monthly payments of interest
only prior to maturity. A portion of the proceeds from the new
mortgage loan was used to repay the two mortgage loans secured by
Northridge Mall as well as the mortgage loan previously secured by
Southridge Mall. Remaining net proceeds from the refinancing have
been and will be used to pay tenant improvement and other capital
costs at Northridge and Southridge Malls.

N/S Associates currently expects that it will incur approximately
$4,369,000 in 1996 for tenant improvement, asbestos removal and
other capital items at Northridge and Southridge Malls. Actual
amounts expended in 1996 may vary depending on a number of factors,
including actual leasing activity, results of property operations,
liquidity considerations and market conditions over the course of
the year. 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<PAGE>
PAGE 13
of tenant improvements, asbestos removal and other capital items
generally will be provided out of cash flows from the properties.
N/S Associates expended approximately $1,967,000 for tenant
improvements, asbestos removal and other capital projects in 1995.

At December 31, 1995, 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 70.6 percent, 27.2 percent and 2.2 percent
of total assets, respectively. At December 31, 1994, real property
investments, mortgage loan and land sale-leaseback investments and
short-term investments represented 72 percent, 27.3 percent and .7
percent of total assets, respectively.

For the Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 1993 -

At December 31, 1994, the Account had cash and investments in
short-term securities of approximately $205,000 as compared to
approximately $2,665,000 at December 31, 1993. The decrease was
primarily attributable to net contract terminations during the year
ended December 31, 1994. The Account financed a portion of the net
contract terminations during 1994 through borrowings under its line
of credit from IDS Life. The Account had experienced net contract
terminations in each of the last 13 quarters.

The liquidity requirements of the Account were generally met by
funds provided from the Account's short-term investments, cash
distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, operating cash
flow, interest income and proceeds from sales of contracts. The
primary uses of funds were for property operating expenses, asset
management and mortality expense risk fees, payments for contract
terminations and contributions to pay the Account's share of the
financing of the Monmouth Mall renovation.

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. 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 has a right to set off against any<PAGE>
PAGE 14
deposits or credits of the Account held by IDS Life for outstanding
borrowings. As of December 31, 1994, $2,100,000 was outstanding
under the line of credit. The proceeds of these borrowings were
used to pay contract terminations.

The Account had a loan outstanding in the principal amount of
approximately $7,852,000 as of December 31, 1994, secured by its
wholly-owned real estate investment.

At December 31, 1994, real property investments, mortgage loan and
land sale-leaseback investments and short-term investments
represented 72 percent, 27.3 percent and .7 percent of total
assets, respectively. At December 31, 1993, real property
investments, mortgage loan and land sale-leaseback investments and
short-term investments represented 69 percent, 26 percent and 5
percent of total assets, respectively.<PAGE>

IDS LIFE ACCOUNT RE

IDS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

December 31, 1995

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

IDS Life Account RE (the Account) is a segregated asset account
of IDS Life Insurance Company (IDS Life) under Minnesota law.
A registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
relative to the deferred variable annuity contracts (the
Contracts) issued by the Account became effective on August 6,
1987. Effective May 1, 1995, the Account discontinued new
contract sales. The assets of the Account are held for the
exclusive benefit of contract owners and are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
IDS Life.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting. Significant accounting policies
followed by the Account are summarized below.

Investments in Securities
Investments in short-term securities maturing more than 60 days
from the valuation date are valued at the market price or
approximate fair value based on current interest rates; those
maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The
Account also may invest in intermediate-term bonds with
maturities of up to five years which are valued at fair value
as determined by reference to market quotations, market
indices, matrices and data from independent brokers.

Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities
are purchased or sold. Interest income, including amortization
of premium and discount, is accrued daily.

Consolidation and Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Account's policy is to consolidate the underlying assets,
liabilities and operations of property investments where 50
percent or greater ownership position is maintained.
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures with less than 50
percent ownership interest are accounted for on the equity
method of accounting.

Investments in Real Property, Mortgage Loans and
Land/Sale-Leasebacks
The Account initially values real estate related investments
at their cost (including acquisition or mortgage placement fees
and other acquisition or placement expenses) unless
circumstances otherwise indicate that a different value should
be used. Subsequently, the value of these investments will be
periodically determined by JMB Annuity Advisers (the Investment<PAGE>
PAGE 22
Adviser). Procedures utilized to determine the estimated value
include the following: (i) at the time of purchase and once
every two years thereafter, each real property investment and
each real property underlying a participating mortgage loan or
land sale-leaseback investment will be appraised by an
independent appraiser or an existing appraisal will be updated,
(ii) various assumptions including, but not limited to,
occupancy and rental rates, expense levels, net operating
income, average capital costs and capitalization rates upon sale
will be used in determining the discounted present value of an
investment's estimated cash flow and its estimated sale proceeds
or its asset value under a direct capitalization methodology,
and (iii) for fixed interest rate mortgage loans and fixed
rental rate land sale-leaseback investments, estimated values
will be determined by comparison to current interest rates on
U.S. Treasury debt as adjusted for a risk differential of the
Account's investments. The relative weight to be given to a
particular methodology or other relevant factors in determining
the estimated asset value of a particular real property will
depend upon an assessment of the existing and anticipated market
conditions and property specific factors relevant to such real
property. There is no assurance that the assumptions, estimates
and methodologies used in valuing the Account's real estate
related investments will in fact prove accurate or that such
values would in fact be realized. Such estimates involve
subjective judgments as the actual price of real estate can only
be determined between independent third parties in sales
transactions. In addition, any expenses that may be borne by
the Account in connection with the disposition of a real estate
related investment are not deducted in determining its
estimated value.

Because the Account values its real property investments at
estimated fair values, no provision for depreciation expense is
recorded.

Each day the Account will record estimated income and expenses
attributable to real estate related assets. Periodically,
adjustments to reflect the difference between estimated and
actual income and expenses will be made.

Federal Income Taxes
IDS Life is taxed as a life insurance company. The Account is
treated as part of IDS Life for federal income tax purposes.
Under existing federal income tax law, no income taxes are
payable with respect to any income of the Account.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported results of operations during the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>
PAGE 23
3. Fees and Expenses

The Account pays a mortality and expense risk fee to IDS Life
which is accrued daily and is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.00
percent of the average daily asset value, as defined, of the
Account. The mortality risk is IDS Life's guarantee to make
retirement payments according to the terms of the Contract, no
matter how long annuitants live. The expense risk portion of
the fee is paid to IDS Life for its guarantee that the various
fees paid by the Account to IDS Life will not be increased in
the future. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, the Account paid IDS Life a mortality and expense risk fee
of $482,896, $502,607 and $549,250, respectively.

The Account also pays IDS Life an asset management fee equal, on
an annual basis, to 1.25 percent of the average daily asset
value, as defined, of the Account. A portion of this fee, equal
to 0.95 percent of the average daily asset value, is paid by IDS
Life to the Investment Adviser. The total fee may be adjusted
upward to a maximum of 1.50 percent depending upon the
performance of the Account's real property investments as
measured against the FRC Property Index. The
performance-related portion of the fee is calculated and
recorded on an annual basis when the FRC Property Index is
released each year for the preceding calendar year. No
performance fee was paid by the Account in 1995 for 1994. The
performance fee paid by the Account in 1994 for 1993 was
$137,299. The performance fee paid by the Account in
1993 for 1992 was $87,287. Any performance fee adjustment will
be paid to the Investment Adviser. For the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Account paid total asset
management fees of $603,620, $765,557 and $773,849,
respectively.

IDS Life receives from the Account an acquisition and
mortgage placement fee equal to 3.75 percent of the total cash
to be paid or advanced by the Account (net of any borrowings in
the case of real property investments) in connection with each
real property investment, mortgage loan or land sale-leaseback
investment made by the Account. A portion of this fee, equal to
3.50 percent, is paid to the Investment Adviser in
consideration for its services in connection with the
acquisition or placement of real estate related investments of
the Account. No acquisition and mortgage placement fees were
paid in 1995, 1994 or 1993.

The Account pays for all operational expenses incurred on its
behalf. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
IDS Life was reimbursed $56,102, $51,223 and $83,122,
respectively, for personnel-related expenses incurred in the
administration of the Account.

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Venture Partnerships and
Participation in Mortgage Loan

Joint Venture Partnership - N/S Associates

IDS Life, on behalf of the Account, entered into a joint venture
partnership called N/S Associates, which on April 4, 1988<PAGE>
PAGE 24
acquired interests in two enclosed super regional shopping malls
that are described below.

The terms of N/S Associates' partnership agreement provide that
its annual net cash flows and net sales or refinancing proceeds
generally will be distributed among all of the partners in
accordance with their respective percentage ownership interests

Summary of Real Estate Investments Made Through N/S Associates

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Northridge Mall

The Account, through N/S Associates, owns an interest in an
existing enclosed super regional shopping center in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, known as Northridge Mall. The mall shops and four
adjacent department stores comprising the shopping center
contain approximately 1,053,000 square feet of gross leasable
area, of which N/S Associates owns approximately 399,000 square
feet consisting of mall shops (approximately 388,000 square
feet) and storage space (approximately 11,000 square feet).
The remaining 654,000 square feet of gross leasable area are
occupied by four department stores, three of which own their own
stores and a portion of the parking area. The fourth department
store leases its space from an unaffiliated third party.

N/S Associates acquired its interest in the shopping center in
April 1988 for a purchase price of approximately $108,107,000,
of which $89,653,000 was paid in cash at closing, subject to the
existing mortgage loans with a then outstanding aggregate
balance of approximately $18,454,000. In addition to the
purchase price, a reserve of $8,900,000 was established, all of
which had been used to pay for certain capital improvements made
at the shopping center. In February 1995, the two mortgage
loans secured by the property were repaid with a portion of the
proceeds from the refinancing of the Southridge Mall mortgage
loan.

The shopping center is being managed by an affiliate of the
Investment Adviser under a management agreement. The affiliate
of the Investment Adviser receives an annual fee equal to 3.75
percent of the gross receipts of the property plus reimbursement
of certain direct expenses in connection with the property
management.

used to pay for certain capital improvements made at the
shopping center. In February 1995, the mortgage loan secured by
the property was repaid with a portion of the proceeds from a
new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $35,000,000. The
new mortgage loan has a term of seven years, bears interest at
8.35 percent per annum and requires monthly payments of interest
only prior to maturity. Proceeds from the new mortgage loan
were also used to repay the two mortgage loans secured by
Northridge Mall. The remaining net proceeds from the new loan
were used to pay approximately $2,900,000 of tenant improvement
and other capital costs incurred for Northridge and Southridge
Malls.

and the Investment Adviser their respective portions of the
acquisition and mortgage placement fee amounting to
approximately $375,000.

Summary of Real Estate Investment Made Through Monmouth
Associates

Eatontown, New Jersey - Monmouth Mall

The Account, through Monmouth Associates, acquired an interest
in the land underlying a shopping center in Eatontown,
New Jersey known as Monmouth Mall. The mall is located on
approximately 90 acres of land, of which Monmouth Associates
owns approximately 88.5 acres, subject to the rights of one of
the department store tenants to acquire the land underlying its
store and the improvements thereon for nominal consideration.
The remaining acres are owned by 2 department stores. Monmouth
Associates acquired its interest in the land for a purchase
price of approximately $13,000,000.

Monmouth Associates entered into an agreement whereby the land
underlying the mall is leased back to the Borrower/Lessee under
a long-term ground lease. The long-term ground lease, which has
a term of 75 years, provides for monthly base rent aggregating
$1,170,000 annually with minimum payments of $650,000. The
long-term ground lease also provides for contingent rent,
payable quarterly out of the excess, if any, of substantially
all of the gross receipts from the shopping center received by
the Borrower/Lessee over certain base amounts, equal to the sum
of (x) a specified annual amount (commencing in the fourth lease
year at $390,000 per annum and increasing in the sixth lease
year to $520,000 per annum), increased until paid at the
"applicable rate" of interest payable under the first leasehold
mortgage loan described below (such amount as so increased
herein called the "rent shortfall amount"), plus (y) 15 percent
of the balance of such excess gross receipts remaining after
deducting the aggregate amount paid at such time of the rent
shortfall amount under the long-term ground lease and the
"interest shortfall amount" under the first leasehold mortgage
loan as described below.

In addition, Monmouth Associates made a first leasehold
participating mortgage loan in the original principal amount of
$128,920,000 to the Borrower/Lessee which is secured by the
leasehold real estate and the improvements thereon. The current
loan amount is $127,670,000. The loan has a term of 15 years,
which may be extended from time to time at the option of
Monmouth Associates for up to an additional 20 years. The loan
provides for monthly payments of base interest at a base rate of
approximately 5.98 percent per annum for the first two loan
years, approximately 7.97 percent per annum for the third loan
year and approximately 5.00 percent per annum for each loan year
thereafter. The first leasehold mortgage also provides for
quarterly payments of contingent interest, payable out of the
excess, if any, of substantially all of the gross receipts from<PAGE>
PAGE 27
the shopping center received by the Borrower/Lessee over certain
base amounts, equal to the sum of (x) the difference between the
amount of interest payable on the loan at the "applicable rate"
and that payable at the base rate described above, increased
until paid at the applicable rate (such amount as so increased
herein called the "interest shortfall amount"), plus (y) 45
percent of the balance of such excess gross receipts remaining
after deducting the aggregate amount paid at such time of the
rent shortfall amount under the ground lease and the interest
shortfall amount under the first leasehold mortgage loan. The
"applicable rate" under the loan is 5.98 percent per annum for
the first two loan years, 7.97 percent per annum for the next
three loan years and 8.97 percent per annum for each loan year
thereafter. In addition, upon a joint sale or refinancing of
the land and improvements or at maturity of the leasehold
mortgage loan, Monmouth Associates is entitled to receive
certain participations in the proceeds from such sale or
refinancing after payment of its investment in the land and/or
repayment of the principal amount of the leasehold mortgage
loan. For financial reporting purposes, Monmouth Associates
discontinued the accrual of contingent interest on the leasehold
mortgage loan in April 1992 as a result of uncertainty as to the
collectibility of such contingent interest in light of the
previous decrease in the estimated value of Monmouth Mall. In
addition, for financial reporting purposes, no contingent rent
was accrued under the ground lease for 1995, 1994 or 1993. In
1995, Monmouth Associates wrote off the receivable balance of
$3,576,000 primarily related to the accrued interest resulting
from the difference between the accrual and pay rates
("contingent interest") recorded prior to 1992, due to the
uncertainty as to the collectibility of these amounts.

Monmouth Associates is obligated to make certain additional
loans to the Borrower/Lessee under certain circumstances to
finance the cost of 60 percent of tenant improvements or other
ordinary capital expenditures. In addition, in May 1994,
Monmouth Associates made a loan to finance the cost of a
renovation of the shopping center, which commenced during the
third quarter of 1994. The renovation consists of, among other
things, the addition of a food court and cinema and the
re-merchandising of approximately 300,000 square feet of gross
leasable area. The renovation loan from Monmouth Associates
bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 10.5 percent per
annum. In addition, Monmouth Associates' participation in
certain levels of sale or refinancing proceeds from the property
will be increased until Monmouth Associates has received
aggregate payments equal to an internal rate of return of 11
percent per annum on its investments in the land and/or the
first leasehold mortgage loan. The maximum amount of the
renovation loan is $29,100,000, and the cost of the renovation
is currently estimated to be $28,500,000. As of December 31,
1995, Monmouth Associates had funded approximately $21,476,000,
using its cash reserves, cash flow and additional capital
contributions made pro rata based upon the respective interests
of the joint venture partners in Monmouth Associates. The
renovation loan requires monthly payments of interest only until<PAGE>
PAGE 28
maturity when the entire principal amount and any accrued and
unpaid interest will be due. The renovation loan will mature
contemporaneously with the first leasehold mortgage loan in
October 2003, subject to acceleration or extension of the loan
by Monmouth Associates under certain circumstances.

Joint Venture - 1225 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.

Washington, D.C. - 1225 Connecticut Avenue, N.W.

In May 1990, IDS Life, on behalf of the Account, acquired an
interest in a newly formed Delaware corporation, 1225 Investment
Corporation (the Corporation) owned jointly with certain other
persons described below. The Corporation acquired an office
building located in Washington, D.C. known as 1225 Connecticut
Avenue, N.W. (1225 Connecticut).

The office building, which was completed in 1968, is an
eight-story reinforced concrete frame building containing
184,432 square feet of rentable office space, 18,498 square feet
of rentable retail space, 6,416 square feet of below grade
storage space and 100,024 square feet of subsurface parking
space for over 300 automobiles.

The Corporation has elected to qualify as a real estate
investment trust (REIT) pursuant to sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). For
each taxable year that the Corporation qualifies as a REIT, the
Corporation in general will not be subject to federal corporate
income tax or the District of Columbia corporate franchise tax
on its regular taxable income and will not be taxed on long-term
capital gain income to the extent its income is distributed as
dividends. If the Corporation were to fail to qualify as a
REIT, it would be taxed at rates applicable to a corporation on
its taxable income, whether or not distributed.

The Account owns approximately 16.3 percent of the outstanding
shares of common stock of the Corporation. Certain of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation not owned
by the Account are owned by an affiliate of the Investment
Adviser.

The Corporation purchased 1225 Connecticut from the seller for a
purchase price of approximately $54,125,000 (net of prorations
and miscellaneous closing costs), consisting of $51,425,000 paid
in cash and assumption of approximately $2,700,000 of mortgage
indebtedness then encumbering the property. The Corporation
paid approximately $2,130,000 for real estate brokerage
commissions to an independent third party and certain closing
costs. The Account contributed $9,000,000 for its interest in
the Corporation. The Account has also paid acquisition fees
amounting to $337,500.

In January 1994, the Corporation refinanced its mortgage loan
with a first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $7,000,000
bearing interest at 6.98 percent per annum. The new loan<PAGE>
PAGE 29
requires monthly payments of interest only aggregating $488,600
per annum until maturity in February 2001 when the principal
amount together with accrued interest will be due and payable.
Under certain circumstances, the principal amount of the loan
may be prepaid in whole (but not in part), subject to a
prepayment premium. Pursuant to the deed of trust securing the
mortgage loan, the Corporation is prohibited from modifying
Ernst & Young's primary lease or from entering into certain
other tenant leases without the lender's consent. Prior to
selling the property or encumbering the property with any
additional debt, the Corporation must obtain the consent of the
lender, which may be arbitrarily withheld. However, subject to
certain restrictions, the Corporation has a one-time right to
transfer title to the property together with an assumption of
the mortgage loan.

The property is being managed under an agreement pursuant to
which the manager is obligated to manage 1225 Connecticut,
collect all of the receipts from operations and, to the extent
available from such receipts, pay all of the expenses of 1225
Connecticut. The manager is paid a fee equal to 2.5 percent of
the gross revenues of 1225 Connecticut, plus reimbursement for
certain direct expenses of the manager. The property had
previously been managed by JMB Properties Company, an affiliate
of the Investment Adviser. In December 1994, JMB Properties
Company sold substantially all of its assets to an unaffiliated
third party, and certain management personnel of JMB Properties
Company became management personnel of the third party. As a
result of the sale, the successor to JMB Properties Company's
assets became the property manager of the 1225 Connecticut
office building on the same terms that existed prior to the
sale.

1225 Connecticut leases approximately 80 percent of the
available space of the property to one tenant under leases, all
with terms of 12 years. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
such tenant represented approximately 77 percent of total
revenues.

Pursuant to a lease currently in effect, an unaffiliated third
party leases and operates the entire parking garage (subject to
certain parking rights provided for tenants of the property)
until November 1997. The lease provides for a fixed rent
payment of $485,000 a year (which reflects an increase at the
end of 1993 from $430,000 a year), provides that the lessee
shall pay the operating expenses of the parking garage and does
not provide such lessee with an option to extend the term of the
lease. <PAGE>

Participation in Mortgage Loan - Riverpoint Associates

Chicago, Illinois - Riverpoint Center

In August 1989, IDS Life, on behalf of the Account, participated
in the initial funding of a non-recourse participation first
mortgage loan in the principal amount of $26,000,000. The
Account's share of the initial funding was $2,666,660 or 10.26
percent of this loan. The remaining portion of the loan is
funded by affiliates of the Investment Adviser (herein, the
Account and said affiliates are collectively called the
Lenders). The Loan is secured by a first mortgage on a shopping
center known as Riverpoint Center in Chicago, Illinois. The
shopping center is owned by a partnership (the Borrower) whose
general partners are not affiliated with any of the Lenders. In
connection with the loan, the Account paid to the Investment
Adviser a mortgage placement fee amounting to approximately
$108,000, less $37,500 in loan origination fees paid to the
Investment Adviser by the Borrower, for a net fee paid of
approximately $70,500 paid by the Account.

Additional amounts aggregating approximately $2,040,000 (of
which the Account's share was approximately $209,000) have been
funded since the Initial Funding. The Borrower did not qualify
for any additional fundings above the $28,040,000 which has been
funded to date, and no additional fundings will be made by the
Lenders.

The ten-year loan requires periodic payments of interest only
and bears basic interest at the rate of 8.84 percent per annum
in the first loan year, 8.75 percent per annum during the second
loan year, increasing 0.50 percent per annum in the fourth and
0.25 percent per annum in the seventh loan year to a maximum<PAGE>
PAGE 31
rate of 9.50 percent per annum, payable monthly in advance. The
loan also provides for additional annual simple accrual of
interest at the rate of 2.00 percent per annum payable upon
prepayment or maturity. For financial reporting purposes,
commencing in August of 1991, the Account suspended recognition
of income related to the simple accrual interest receivable
(deferred until maturity).The loan also provides for additional
interest in an amount equal to a percentage of annual gross
income from the underlying property (exclusive of tenant
reimbursement of expenses) in excess of a base amount and, on
sale or repayment of the loan, an amount equal to a percentage
of the subsequent increase in the value of the underlying
property in excess of a specified amount. Such amounts of
additional interest payments made by the Borrower will be used
to offset, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of accrued
interest payable. The loan is generally non-recourse to the
Borrower and its partners.

The shopping center, completed in 1989, is located on
approximately 17 acres and consists of approximately 200,800
square feet of gross leasable area.

5. Investments in Wholly-owned Real Estate Property

Fairfax County, Virginia - West Springfield Terrace Apartments

In August 1989, IDS Life, on behalf of the Account, acquired a
244-unit garden apartment complex known as West Springfield
Terrace Apartments, which is located in Fairfax County,
Virginia.

The apartment complex, which was completed in 1978, consists of
17 separate three and four-story buildings of wood frame with
brick veneer construction containing 52 one-bedroom units, 22
one-bedroom and den units, 118 two-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom
and den units, and 30 three-bedroom units. The complex contains
a swimming pool, tennis court, clubhouse and approximately 380
parking spaces.

The Account paid $15,222,278 for the apartment complex in cash
at closing, excluding closing costs and prorations. In
connection with the acquisition of the property, the Account
paid a prepayment charge at closing of $92,221 to the lender
that held the mortgage loan on the property. The Account also
paid to IDS Life and the Investment Adviser their respective
portions of the acquisition fee amounting to $274,834. At the
time of the acquisition it was anticipated that an additional
amount of approximately $1,450,000 would be used by the Account
to pay the cost of upgrading kitchens and bathrooms and certain
other upgrades and capital improvements at the complex. The
renovation project was subsequently increased to include
replacing certain carpets in units as they were renovated and to
increase the number of units that received certain upgrades. The
renovation project was completed during 1992 at an aggregate
cost of approximately $1,900,000. To date the Account has paid
IDS Life and the Investment Adviser their respective portions of
the acquisition fee amounting to $18,000 in connection with the
renovation project. <PAGE>
PAGE 32
In November 1989, the Account obtained a loan from an
institutional lender in the principal amount of $8,000,000
secured by a first mortgage on the property. At December 31,
1995, the current balance of the mortgage loan encumbering the
property was approximately $7,770,000. The loan has a term of
seven years and bears interest at a rate of 9.50 percent per
annum. The loan required monthly payments of interest only
during the first three loan years and thereafter is amortizable
over a 27-year schedule through monthly payments of principal
and interest aggregating $824,400 per annum until November 1996,
when the remaining principal balance and any accrued and unpaid
interest of approximately $7,704,000 is due and payable.

The apartment complex is being managed for a fee equal to 5.00
percent of the gross revenues from the property, plus
reimbursement of certain direct expenses of the manager. The
property had previously been managed by JMB Properties Company,
an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, but since December 1994
has been managed on the same terms by an unaffiliated third
party that purchased substantially all of JMB Properties
Company's assets, as discussed in Note 4 in connection with the
1225 Connecticut office building.

6. Liquidity Arrangements with IDS Life

The Account has experienced substantial net contract
terminations over the past several years, which have
adversely affected its liquidity. In March 1994, the Account
obtained a short-term revolving line of credit for up to
$10 million from IDS Life to pay for contract surrenders and
other obligations under the Contracts. On June 2, 1995, the
line of credit was terminated and the Account repaid the
outstanding balance under the line of credit with the proceeds
from accumulation units purchased by IDS Life. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, IDS Life cumulatively contributed
$24,700,000 toward the purchase of accumulation units. IDS
Life expects to continue to make additional payments into the
Account for accumulation units in order to maintain the Account
and its liquidity. As of December 31, 1995, IDS Life's portion
of the Contract Owners' Equity was $22,644,467, which represents
63% of total Contract Owners' Equity.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

The accompanying combined financial statements have been
prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3.09 of Regulation
S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The combined
financial statements include the accounts of the unconsolidated joint
ventures in which IDS Life Account RE of IDS Life Insurance Company
owns an equity interest. The unconsolidated joint ventures are N/S
Associates, Monmouth Associates and 1225 Investment Corporation.

The accompanying combined financial statements have been
prepared on the market value accrual basis of accounting.

The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The ventures have implemented Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" which classifies receipts and
payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing or
financing activities. The ventures records amounts held in U.S.
Government obligations at cost, which approximates market. For the
purposes of these statements, the ventures' policy is to consider all
such amounts held with original maturities of three months or less
($2,200,000 and $5,989,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively) as cash equivalents with any remaining amounts
reflected as short-term investments.

Investments in real estate are stated at estimated fair value.
A description of the valuation process is contained in Note 2 of
Notes to Financial Statements of the Account. Such note is
incorporated herein by reference.

Market values have been estimated by the Investment Adviser.
Such market values involve subjective judgments and the actual values
can only be determined by negotiations with independent third
parties.

No provision for State or Federal income taxes has been made
for N/S Associates or Monmouth Associates as the liability for such
taxes, if any, is expected to be that of the venture partners rather
than the venture. 1225 Investment Corporation has elected and
qualifies to be treated as a real estate investment trust for Federal
income tax purposes. The Corporation had no Federal income tax
liabilities for taxable years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.<PAGE>

Notes to Combined Financial Statements - (Continued)

Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as
incurred. Significant costs of physical improvements are capitalized
as part of investments in real estate.

Fixed rental income is recorded when the obligation for the
payment of rent is incurred according to the terms of the lease
agreements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS
107"), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires entities with total assets exceeding $150 million at
December 31, 1994 to disclose the SFAS 107 value of all financial
assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate.
Value is defined in the Statement as the amount at which the
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The
ventures believe the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities
(excluding current portion of long-term debt) approximates SFAS 107
value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
There is no quoted market value available for any of the ventures'
other instruments. Based upon estimates of current market rates for
debt with similar terms, the ventures discounted the scheduled loan
payments to maturity. Based upon this calculation, the ventures
believe that the carrying value of the mortgage notes payable
approximate market value at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

(2) Venture Agreements

A description of the venture agreements are contained in Note 4
of Notes to Financial Statements of the Account for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Such note is incorporated herein by reference.

(4) Leases - As Property Lessor

The venture has determined that all leases relating to the two
retail properties and the office building are properly classified as
operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when earned.
Leases with tenants range in term from one to thirty-two years and
provide for fixed minimum rent and partial to full reimbursement of
operating costs. In addition, substantially all retail leases
provide for additional rent based upon percentage of tenants' sale
volumes over certain specified amounts.<PAGE>

Monmouth Associates entered into an agreement whereby the land
underlying the Monmouth shopping center is leased under a long-term
ground lease. The long-term ground lease, which has a term of 75
years, provides for accrual of annual base rent of $1,170,000 with
minimum payments of $650,000 per annum.

Contract Surrender

An election to surrender a Contract may be made in writing to the home office
of IDS Life in Minneapolis, MN. If required by IDS Life, the request for
surrender must be accompanied by the Contract if a request for the full
surrender value is being made. An election to surrender a Contract can be made
only while the Contract is in force prior to the earlier of the retirement date
or the death of the first to die of the annuitant or owner. The surrender
value is determined on the basis of the accumulation unit value in effect on
the date on which a request for surrender is received by IDS Life in proper
order.

A partial surrender request not exceeding $50,000 may be made by contacting IDS
Life by telephone. IDS Life has the authority to honor any telephone partial
surrender request it believes to be authentic and will use reasonable
procedures to confirm that they are. This includes asking identifying
questions and tape recording calls. As long as the procedures are followed,
neither IDS Life nor its affiliates will be liable for any loss resulting from
fraudulent requests. At times when the volume of telephone requests is
unusually high, IDS Life will take special measures to ensure your call is
answered as promptly as possible. A telephone surrender request will not be
allowed within 30 days of a phoned-in address change. You may request that
telephone withdrawals not be authorized from your account by writing IDS Life.

The surrender value will be paid within seven days after the date on which a
proper request is received by IDS Life, except that under certain circumstances
IDS Life may delay or suspend payments. See the Suspension and Delay of
Payments section.

An owner may surrender all or a portion of the contract value. Any partial
surrender must be for at least $250, and no partial surrender can be made if
it would reduce the contract value after such surrender to less than $600.

Automated partial surrenders may be made through a one-time written request (or
other method acceptable to IDS Life). The minimum surrender amount from the
Contract is $50, and such surrender can be made on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis. You may start or stop this service at any time,
but you must give IDS Life 30 days' notice to change any automated surrender
instructions that are currently in place. Automated partial surrenders are
subject to all of the other contract provisions and terms. Automated partial
surrenders may be restricted by applicable law. In addition, the payment of
additional purchase payments, if allowed under the Contract, while automated
partial surrenders are in effect, may not be appropriate and therefore is not
permitted. Automated partial surrenders may result in taxes and penalties
being applied to all or a portion of the amount surrendered. See the Certain
Federal Income Tax Considerations section. You should consult your tax adviser
if you have any questions about the taxation of your annuity.

No surrender can be made after the retirement date or the death of the first
to die of the annuitant or owner. Any amounts surrendered and charges that may
apply cannot be repaid. A surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred
sales charge, will be imposed for any surrender made during the first eight
payment years of any purchase payment. The surrender charge applies separately
to the initial purchase payment and to each additional purchase payment.
Regardless of when a purchase payment is made, the contract year in which a
purchase payment is made is the first payment year for that purchase payment,
and succeeding payment years continue to be measured separately for that<PAGE>
PAGE 2
purchase payment. For a partial surrender, accumulation units attributable to
the earliest payment year are surrendered first. The surrender charge is 8
percent of the amount surrendered during the first payment year and decreases
by 1 percent per year thereafter to 1 percent in the eighth payment year.
There is no surrender charge on amounts surrendered after the eighth payment
year. In no event will the aggregate surrender charges imposed exceed 8.5
percent of the aggregate purchase payments received. IDS Life may, in its
discretion, reduce or eliminate surrender charges for certain group sales of
the Contracts. See the Contract Charges and Deductions -- Surrender Charges
section. Owners should also be aware that, under certain circumstances, a
surrender before the owner has reached the age of 59-1/2 may be subject to a
penalty under the Code. See the Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations
section.

Suspension and Delay of Payments

IDS Life will attempt to make payments under the Contracts within seven days
whenever the Account has cash available. However, IDS Life reserves the right
to defer making any such payments under the Contracts for up to six months.
This reservation of the right to suspend payments is only intended to be
utilized in the emergency circumstances set forth in the remainder of this
section. Subject to any suspension of payments described below, IDS Life
guarantees that payments on death of the first to die of the annuitant or owner
prior to the retirement date will be made within seven days of receipt by IDS
Life of its death claim requirements after the death of the annuitant or owner,
whichever occurs first. In addition, payment of surrender values may be
delayed if a check for a purchase payment has not cleared the bank on which it
was drawn.

IDS Life may suspend any payments due under the Contracts beyond the seven-day
period for up to six months when IDS Life determines that there is insufficient
cash available to meet all current surrender requests and other payment
obligations of the Account and the sale of the real estate related assets of
the Account could not be made on a timely basis on commercially reasonable
terms. In the event of any suspension of payments, the cash available will be
used in the following order of priority:

First -- to meet any obligations the Account has other than Contract
obligations. Such obligations would include those expenses necessary to
continue the operation of the Account, other than fees to IDS Life, which fees
will be deferred until ALL Contract obligations are satisfied.

Second -- to make annuity payments in full or pro rata depending on the cash
available. All annuitants will be treated as a class, including those who
annuitize during the suspension. No other payments will be made until all
unpaid annuity payments are made.

Third -- to make payments due on the death of the annuitant or the owner that
became due and payable after the declaration of suspension. All payees of
payments on death will be treated as a class and payments may be made pro rata
depending upon the cash available.

Finally -- no payments of surrender values will be permitted during such a
suspension while any annuity payments or payments on death remain unpaid.
Depending upon the cash available, any payments of surrender values during such
suspension will be made in accordance with the order in which surrender
requests are received by IDS Life.<PAGE>
PAGE 3
If a payment of a surrender or an annuity payment is deferred, the amount will
be determined as of the end of the valuation period during which the surrender
request was received or the annuity payment was due, and, with respect to such
amount, participation in the investment experience of the Account will cease.
If IDS Life defers a payment of a surrender or an annuity payment for 30 days
or more, IDS Life will credit interest on the amount of the payment at a rate
of 3 percent per year or such higher rate as IDS Life, in its discretion,
establishes. If IDS Life defers payment on death for more than seven days,
IDS Life will credit interest on the amount of payment at a rate of 3 percent
per year or such higher rate as IDS Life, in its discretion, establishes or
that which is required by law.

Owners who remain in the Account will bear the investment risk that real estate
related investments of the Account will have to be sold under emergency
circumstances that could result in the realization by the Account of less than
the investment value of such investments notwithstanding any suspension or
delay in payments as permitted under the Contracts.

Transfer of Ownership

The owner may transfer ownership of the Contract, at any time while the
annuitant is living, by filing a transfer of ownership with IDS Life at its
home office. IDS Life will not be bound by any transfer of ownership until the
written transfer in form and substance acceptable to IDS Life is received by
it. IDS Life is not responsible for the validity of any transfer. A transfer
will be effective as of the date of request for the transfer, subject to any
action taken or payment made by IDS Life prior to receipt of
the transfer. IDS Life is not liable as to any payment or other settlement
made by it before receipt of the transfer.

INASMUCH AS A TRANSFER MAY BE A TAXABLE EVENT, OWNERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN
TAX ADVISERS SHOULD THEY WISH TO TRANSFER THEIR CONTRACTS.

(a) Includes cash down payments, amounts funded or committed to be
funded for mortgage loans, prepayment premiums, special reserves and
other cash payments made or expected to be made out of the Account's
net assets but does not include acquisition and mortgage placement
fees, mortgage financing fees and other acquisition, placement or
financing costs.

(b) The interest of the Account in this investment is owned by the
Account through a joint venture. The amount shown for the property
under "Cash payments made or to be made" includes only the cash
investment of the Account in the joint venture for this investment
and does not reflect any investment by any other joint venturers in
the investment owned by the joint venture. For real property
investments in which the Account has an equity interest, the amount
shown for the investment under Long-Term Indebtedness reflects the
Account's proportionate share, based upon its percent interest in the
joint venture, of the amount of financing which is encumbering the
property held by the joint venture.<PAGE>
PAGE 2
(c) The interest of the Account in this investment is as a
participant in the funding of a mortgage loan secured by the
property.

The Account's investments in Northridge Mall and Southridge Mall and
in the land sale-leaseback investment and first leasehold mortgage
loan secured by Monmouth Mall have been made through two joint
venture partnerships, the other partners of which include
institutional investors. The percent interest of each partner in
these two joint ventures is determined generally based on the timing
and amount of capital contributed by all partners.

The Account made a capital contribution of approximately $12,008,000
in return for an approximate 5.92 percent interest in N/S Associates,
which owns interests in Northridge Mall and Southridge Mall, and made
an initial capital contribution of $10,000,000 in return for an
approximate 6.97 percent interest in Monmouth Associates, which owns
the underlying land subject to a ground lease of, and holds a first
leasehold mortgage on, Monmouth Mall. JMB Group Trust IV, which had
been advised by an affiliate of the Investment Adviser but is
currently advised by an unaffiliated third party, owns the majority
percent interest in each of N/S Associates and Monmouth Associates.

In May 1994, Monmouth Associates agreed to finance the cost of a
renovation of Monmouth Mall. The maximum amount of the renovation
loan is $29,100,000 and as of December 31, 1995 fundings of
$21,476,000 have been made. Certain of the fundings for the
renovation loan have been made out of cash reserves and the cash flow
of Monmouth Associates, as well as out of additional capital
contributions to Monmouth Associates made pro rata based upon the
respective interests of its joint venture partners. The Account's
share of such additional capital contributions would be approximately
$727,000 based on its approximate 6.97 percent interest in Monmouth
Associates of which $685,000 had been contributed as of December 31,
1995. The renovation of the shopping center includes, among other
things, the addition of a food court and cinema and the re-
merchandising of approximately 300,000 square feet of space and has
been substantially completed as of December 31, 1995.

In general, joint venture partnership agreements for N/S Associates
and Monmouth Associates provide that decisions concerning the joint
ventures and their real estate investments are to be made by the vote
or approval of the joint venture partner or partners holding a
majority of the percent interests in the respective joint ventures.

Under the respective joint venture partnership agreements, in the
event that one or more, but less than all, of the joint venture
partners propose to sell the joint venture's entire interest in a
real estate related investment during a specified period commencing
generally not earlier than the end of the fourth year after the
funding of the investment and ending 10 years after such funding,
each other joint venture partner not approving such sale will have a
right of first offer to purchase such investment on the terms set
forth in a notice of the proposed sale from the joint venture
partners desiring such sale. If more than one joint venture partner
elects to exercise a right of first offer, each of the joint venture
partners making such election will have the right to purchase an<PAGE>
PAGE 3
interest in such investment based upon the proportion of its percent
interest in the respective joint venture to the aggregate percent
interests of all joint venture partners making such election. If no
Joint venture partner elects to exercise the right of first offer,
the joint venture partners approving the sale may effect such sale on
behalf of the respective joint venture for a sales price of not less
than 90 percent of the proposed sales price and on other terms at
least as favorable to the respective joint venture as those set forth
in the notice of proposed sale.

In general, each joint venture partner may sell its interest in the
respective joint venture subject to each other joint venture
partner's right of first refusal to purchase the interest, and any
such sale may not be made without the consent of all other joint
venture partners unless it is to be made to an affiliate of the
selling joint venture partner or to certain institutional investors,
a "Fortune 500" corporation or an affiliate thereof, or to an entity
of similar financial standing or sophistication of the foregoing or
of the selling joint venture partner.

Northridge Mall
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Northridge Mall, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was completed in
1972. The mall shops and four adjacent department stores comprising
the shopping center contain approximately 1,053,000 square feet of
gross leasable area, of which N/S Associates owns approximately
399,000 square feet. The remaining 654,000 square feet of gross
leasable area are occupied by four department stores, three of which
own their own stores and a portion of the parking area. These four
stores are Younkers, which leases its store from an unaffiliated
third party (approximately 166,000 square feet), J.C. Penney
(approximately 168,000 square feet), Sears (approximately 169,000
square feet) and Boston Store (approximately 151,000 square feet).
Existing operating covenants for occupancy of their stores by
Younkers extend through January 1999 and by Boston Store through
2000. J.C. Penney and Sears, whose operating covenants expired in
August 1992, continue to operate their respective stores at the
shopping center.

The proposed acquisition of Younkers by Proffitt's, Inc. should
eliminate the need for a possible anchor replacement at both
Northridge and Southridge malls. Carson, Pirie Scott & Co. had made
a bid to purchase the Younkers chain, which operates at both malls.
Carson's already operates the Boston Store at Northridge and
Southridge, and had indicated that they would not continue operating
the Younkers store. The acquisition by Proffitt's should eliminate
the need for an anchor replacement at both centers and should
continue to provide the malls with an anchor similar to the existing
Younkers in quality and type of merchandise.

The shopping center is located on an approximate 105-acre site, of
which N/S Associates owns approximately 32 acres, at the northwest
corner of West Brown Deer Road and North 76th Street on the north
side of Milwaukee. The shopping center is a two-level center of
masonry construction and contains a large center court atrium with
a fountain and skylights. The entire parking lot contains parking
for approximately 7,800 automobiles.<PAGE>
PAGE 4
Real estate taxes on the portion of the shopping center owned by N/S
Associates were approximately $2,468,000 for the 1995 tax year and
are estimated to be approximately $2,569,000 for the 1996 tax year
due to a successful tax appeal filed by N/S Associates.

The shopping center is subject to competition from other retail
properties in the vicinity. In the opinion of the Investment
Adviser, the portion of the shopping center owned by N/S Associates
is adequately insured.

The portion of the shopping center owned by N/S Associates consists
of approximately 388,000 square feet of mall space and 11,000 square
feet of storage space. The mall space is currently approximately 86
percent leased and occupied by 125 tenants. Tenant leases for mall
space have minimum terms, not including renewal options, ranging from
one to 20 years, with current annual base rents ranging from
approximately $5 to $150 per square foot. The current average annual
base rent for mall space is approximately $18.83 per square foot.
The average annual occupancy rates (based upon occupancy at the end
of each month during the year) and approximate average annual base
rents per square foot for the mall space for the past five years are
as follows:

Average Annual
Average Annual Base Rent
Year Occupancy Rate Per Square Foot
1991 93% $21.50
1992 87 22.10
1993 87 22.30
1994 80 22.65
1995 83 18.83

Substantially all of the leases contain provisions pursuant to which
N/S Associates is entitled to participate in tenant gross receipts
above certain minimum amounts, and most leases entitle N/S Associates
to receive tenants' contributions for operating expenses and real
estate taxes. Certain of the more recent leases provide for N/S
Associates' participation in tenant gross receipts above certain
minimum amounts without receipt by N/S Associates of any specified
annual base rent or tenant contributions for operating expenses or
real estate taxes.

N/S Associates acquired its interest in the shopping center in April
1988 for a purchase price of approximately $89,653,000 paid in cash
at closing, subject to the existing mortgage loans with a then
outstanding aggregate balance of approximately $18,454,000. At
closing, N/S Associates established a reserve of approximately $8.9
million that has been used to pay for certain capital improvements
made at the shopping center, including certain asbestos removal,
construction of a food court and center and side court improvements.
It is expected that additional asbestos removal will be undertaken
from time to time. For 1996 N/S Associates has currently budgeted
approximately $2,551,000 for completion of tenant improvements and
asbestos abatement for certain tenant spaces at Northridge Mall.
Such amount is expected to be paid out of proceeds from the
refinancing described below and cash flow from the property.
<PAGE>
PAGE 5
In February 1995, N/S Associates repaid the two mortgage loans
secured by Northridge Mall, as well as the mortgage loan secured by
Southridge Mall, out of the proceeds of a new loan in the principal
amount of $35,000,000 secured by a mortgage on Southridge Mall. In
addition, approximately $2,900,000 of the net proceeds from the new
mortgage loan was used to pay tenant improvements, asbestos abatement
and other capital costs incurred for Northridge and Southridge Malls
during 1995.

The portion of the shopping center owned by N/S Associates is being
managed by an affiliate of the Investment Adviser under an agreement
pursuant to which it is obligated to manage the property and collect
all receipts from operations of the property. The affiliate of the
Investment Adviser is paid an annual fee equal to 3.75 percent of the
gross receipts of the property plus reimbursement of certain direct
expenses in connection with the management of the property.

Northridge Mall has been adversely affected by a perception that it
is an unsafe place to shop. This perception has resulted in
declining sales and occupancy over the past several years.
Compounding the problem of declining sales are the high operating
costs for tenants due to the high real estate taxes at the shopping
center. By contesting the real estate taxes, the manager of the
property was able to achieve a reduction in taxes in 1995. Occupancy
has also been affected by continuing tenant bankruptcies. To counter
the negative image for Northridge Mall, N/S Associates made certain
capital improvements including parking lot lighting and improved
interior lighting, and implemented operational programs to improve
the shopping center's safety and appearance, as well as instituted
certain marketing efforts to enhance its image. In addition, N/S
Associates continues to seek to increase occupancy by aggressively
marketing space for new and renewal tenants through leasing
incentives, as well as cooperating with existing tenants who need
short-term rent reductions in order to maintain occupancy of their
space. Certain positive sales trends appear to indicate a modest
improvement, however, elimination of the negative perception is
expected to take some time.

The following is a schedule of expiration of leases (exclusive of
storage space and assuming no renewals or cancellations) and current
annual base rents allocable thereto as of March 1996:

Southridge Mall
Greendale/Greenfield (Milwaukee),
Wisconsin

Southridge Mall, completed in 1970, is located in the Village of
Greendale and City of Greenfield south of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The
mall shops and five adjacent department stores comprising the
shopping center contain approximately 1,295,000 square feet of gross
leasable area, of which N/S Associates owns approximately 435,000
square feet, including the space leased to Kohl's Department Store,
one of the anchor tenants, and approximately 2,000 square feet of
storage space. The remaining approximately 860,000 square feet of
gross leasable area are occupied by four department stores, three of
which own their own stores and a portion of the parking area. These
four stores are Younkers, which leases its store from an unaffiliated
third party (approximately 203,000 square feet), Boston Store
(approximately 221,000 square feet), Sears (approximately 251,000
square feet) and J.C. Penney (approximately 185,000 square feet).
Existing operating covenants for occupancy of their stores by
Younkers extend through January 1999 and by Boston Store through
2000. J.C. Penney and Sears, whose operating covenants have expired,
continue to operate their respective stores at Southridge Mall.

The proposed acquisition of Younkers by Proffitt's, Inc. should
eliminate the need for a possible anchor replacement at both
Northridge and Southridge malls. Carson, Pirie Scott & Co. had made
a bid to purchase the Younkers chain, which operates stores at both
malls. Carson's already operates the Boston Store at Northridge and
Southridge, and had indicated that they would not continue operating
the Younkers store. The acquisition by Proffitt's should eliminate
the need for an anchor replacement at both centers and should
continue to provide the malls with an anchor similar to the existing
Younkers in quality and type of merchandise.

The shopping center is located on an approximately 105-acre site, of
which N/S Associates owns approximately 34 acres, at the intersection
of West Grange Avenue and South 76th Street in Milwaukee County. It
is a two-level center of masonry construction and contains a large
center court atrium with a fountain and skylights. The entire
parking lot contains parking for approximately 6,900 automobiles.

Real estate taxes on the portion of the shopping center owned by N/S
Associates were approximately $4,048,000 for the 1995 tax year and
are estimated to be approximately $4,062,000 for the 1996 tax year.

The portion of the shopping center owned by N/S is currently
approximately 97 percent leased and occupied by 138 tenants. During
the third quarter of 1995 N/S Associates and Kohl's entered into an
amendment of its lease. Pursuant to the lease amendment the term of
Kohl's lease has been extended from 2001 until 2015 and the tenant<PAGE>
PAGE 7
space has been increased by approximately 19,000 square feet to
approximately 85,000 square feet, exclusive of storage space. Kohl's
is required to pay annual base rent of $9.25 per square foot, as well
as one-half of its pro rata share for real estate taxes and a fixed
amount for common area maintenance expense. Kohl's is also obligated
to pay as additional rent a percentage of its gross receipts in
excess of a minimum amount of annual sales to be determined after the
tenant has occupancy of the entire leased space. N/S Associates is
responsible for paying the costs of asbestos removal for the tenant
space, which is estimated to be approximately $1,250,000. Kohl's is
obligated to pay other costs associated with the leased space,
including tenant improvements and lease buy-out and relocation costs,
if any, of other tenants (one of whose lease continues until 2001)
that currently occupy a portion of the expansion space. The lease
amendment also contains an operating covenant pursuant to which
Kohl's is obligated to operate its retail store at Southridge Mall
until 2005, subject to earlier termination under certain
circumstances. Although the lease amendment reduces Kohl's overall
rent, the expansion of its space and the extension of its lease term
is expected to stabilize the shopping center on a long-term basis by
ensuring Kohl's continued occupancy and therefore its continued
contribution to customer traffic. Other tenant leases (exclusive of
storage space) have minimum terms, not including renewal options,
ranging from 3 to 15 years, with current annual base rents ranging
from $8.00 to $116.00 per square foot. The current average annual
base rent (exclusive of storage space) is approximately $20.40 per
square foot.

The average annual occupancy rates (based upon occupancy at the end
of each month during the year) and approximate average annual base
rents per square foot for tenant space (inclusive of Kohl's
Department Store but exclusive of storage space) for the past five
years are as follows:

Average Annual
Average Annual Base Rent
Year Occupancy Rate Per Square Foot
1991 94% $19.30
1992 87 20.90
1993 90 21.20
1994 91 20.90
1995 95 20.40

Substantially all of the leases contain provisions pursuant to which
N/S Associates is entitled to participate in tenant gross receipts
above certain minimum amounts and to receive tenants' contributions
for operating expenses and real estate taxes. N/S Associates
acquired its interest in the shopping center in April 1988 for a
purchase price of approximately $96,865,000 paid in cash at closing,
subject to the existing first mortgage loan with a then outstanding
balance of approximately $18,536,000. N/S Associates established a
reserve of approximately $7,250,000 which has been used for certain
capital improvements at the shopping center including, among other
things, asbestos abatement and center and side court improvements.
For 1996, N/S Associates has currently budgeted approximately
$1,818,000 for tenant improvements, asbestos abatement and other<PAGE>
PAGE 8
capital costs at Southridge Mall. Such amount is expected to be paid
out of proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage loan secured by
the property and cash flow from the property.

In February 1995, N/S Associates repaid the mortgage loan secured by
Southridge Mall, as well as the two mortgage loans secured by
Northridge Mall, out of the proceeds of a new loan in the principal
amount of $35,000,000 secured by a mortgage on Southridge Mall. In
addition, approximately $2,900,000 of net proceeds from the new
mortgage loan were used to pay for tenant improvements and other
capital costs incurred for Northridge and Southridge Malls. The new
mortgage loan has a term of seven years, bears interest at 8.35
percent per annum and requires monthly payments of interest only
aggregating approximately $2,923,000 per annum prior to maturity in
February 2002, when the entire principal amount and any accrued and
unpaid interest will be due and payable. The new mortgage loan
permits only a prepayment in full, subject to the payment of a
premium of the greater of 1 percent of the outstanding principal
balance of the loan and an amount calculated pursuant to a defined
yield maintenance formula. The remedies under the new mortgage loan
are generally limited to the property securing the loan.

The portion of the shopping center owned by N/S Associates is being
managed by an affiliate of the Investment Adviser under an agreement
pursuant to which it is obligated to manage the property and collect
all receipts from operations of the property. The affiliate of the
Investment Adviser is paid a fee equal to 3.75 percent of the gross
receipts of the property plus reimbursement of certain direct
expenses in connection with the management of the property.

Monmouth Mall
Eatontown, New Jersey

In October 1988 Monmouth Associates (i) acquired certain land
underlying a super regional shopping center in Eatontown, New Jersey
known as Monmouth Mall, (ii) leased the land to the owner of the
shopping center pursuant to a long-term ground lease, and (iii) made<PAGE>
PAGE 9
a first mortgage loan to the owner of the shopping center secured by
the leasehold estate and the improvements thereon. The borrower
under the first leasehold mortgage loan and lessee under the ground
lease (hereinafter the "borrower/lessee") is a partnership whose
partners are not affiliated with Monmouth Associates or any of its
joint venture partners.

The shopping center is being reconfigured in connection with the
renovation discussed below. Upon completion of the renovation, the
shopping center will contain approximately 1,503,000 square feet of
gross leasable area, of which approximately 614,000 square feet will
consist of mall shops (approximately 470,000 square feet), a fifteen
screen cinema (approximately 77,000 square feet), outparcel buildings
(approximately 17,000 square feet) and storage and basement area
(approximately 50,000 square feet). The remaining gross leasable
area includes four department stores, which are Macy's (approximately
262,000 square feet), J.C. Penney (approximately 203,000 square
feet), Abraham & Straus (approximately 265,000 square feet) and Lord
& Taylor (approximately 159,000 square feet). Existing operating
covenants of the anchor department stores for reimbursement of a
specified amount of common area maintenance expenses and operation of
a retail business at their stores (which may be different from the
current retail business), generally extend to 1998 for Abraham &
Straus, 2005 for Macy's and Lord & Taylor, and 2006 for J.C. Penney,
with certain option or renewal rights thereafter in favor of Abraham
& Straus and Lord & Taylor.

Federated Department Stores, which owns Abraham & Straus, completed
its merger with Macy's, and in January 1995 Federated Department
Stores announced that it would close the entire Abraham & Straus
chain of stores and either convert them to other stores or sell them.
Federated Department Stores converted the Abraham & Straus store at
Monmouth Mall to a Stern's store in the spring of 1995, as permitted
under the terms of its operating agreement. Macy's covenant to
operate a department store (in addition its covenant to operate a
retail business) expired in 1995. Preliminary discussions with
Macy's continue regarding a possible extension of their operating
covenant, but there can be no assurance any such extension will be
finalized. The Macy's store continues to operate at Monmouth Mall.

The shopping center is located on an approximately 104-acre site
located at the intersection of Routes 35 and 36 and Wyckoff Road in
Eatontown, New Jersey. Macy's owns its own department store and
approximately 2 acres of underlying land, and J.C. Penney owns its
own store and approximately 12 acres of underlying land. The
remaining approximately 90 acres of land underlying the shopping
center were acquired by Monmouth Associates subject to the right of
Stern's to acquire the land underlying its store. Stern's, which
currently leases its store and the approximately 14 acres of
underlying land for nominal base rent, has the right to acquire the
underlying land at any time after 1998 and to acquire its store at
any time after 2028, in each case for nominal consideration. The
shopping center is a multi-level super regional center constructed of
structural steel framing with concrete block facing. The entire
parking lot (a portion of which is owned by certain of the department
stores) contains combined surface and deck parking for approximately
8,225 automobiles.<PAGE>
PAGE 10
The Lord & Taylor lease provides for annual base rent of
approximately $60,400 and an initial term of 16 years ending in 2006
with six 10-year renewal options at the same annual base rent. Each
of Lord & Taylor and Stern's pays a percentage of its gross receipts
above a certain minimum amount as well as a pro rata share of the
real estate taxes as additional rent. Sony Theaters operates the
cinema under a lease that commenced in 1994 and provides for an
initial term of 21 years with a current annual base rent of
approximately $711,000 with specified periodic increases. The lease
also requires the tenant to pay a specified amount of operating
expense reimbursements and a pro rata share of the real estate taxes,
as well as a percentage of its gross receipts above a certain minimum
amount as additional rent. The lease also provides for five 5-year
renewal options with specified increases in annual base rent. In
addition to its own department store, Macy's also leases
approximately 36,400 square feet of space from the borrower/lessee
for its children's store at the shopping center.

Real estate taxes on the portion of the shopping center owned by the
borrower/lessee were approximately $1,882,000 for the 1995 tax year
and are budgeted to be approximately $1,965,000 for the 1996 tax
year. The shopping center is subject to competition from other
retail properties in the area, including an approximately 1,300,000
square foot shopping center that opened in the general vicinity in
August 1990. In the opinion of the Investment Adviser, the portion
of the shopping center owned by the borrower/lessee is adequately
insured.

The mall shops and outparcel space at the shopping center are
currently 86 percent leased by 167 tenants with current annual base
rents ranging from approximately $1.00 to $186.00 per square foot and
a current average annual base rent of approximately $22.34 per square
foot. Leases for mall shops and outparcel space have minimum terms,
not including renewal options, ranging from 5 to 15 years. Due to
the renovation of the shopping center discussed below, the current
occupancy of the mall shops and outparcel space is approximately 77
percent. However, the mall shops and outparcel space are currently
approximately 90 percent leased including leases whose terms will
commence after renovation of tenant space permits occupancy. The
average annual occupancy rates (based upon occupancy at the end of
each month during the year) and approximate average annual base rents
per square foot for the mall shops and outparcel space for the past
five years are as follows:

Average Annual
Average Annual Base Rent
Year Occupancy Rate Per Square Foot
1991 83% $18.25
1992 82 19.85
1993 81 19.95
1994 67 21.40
1995 69 24.76

Substantially all of the leases contain provisions pursuant to which
tenants are required to pay specified percentages of their gross
receipts above certain minimum amounts as additional rent and to pay
their pro rata share of the operating expenses and real estate taxes
of the shopping center.<PAGE>

Mozzarellas Cafe 5,051 114,425 15 years

In October 1988, Monmouth Associates (i) purchased approximately 88.5
acres of land underlying the shopping center (subject to the right of
Stern's to acquire the approximately 14 acres underlying its store)
for $13,000,000 paid in cash; (ii) leased the land back to the
borrower/lessee pursuant to a long-term ground lease; and (iii) made
a first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $128,920,000 to the
borrower/lessee secured by the leasehold estate and the improvements
thereon. The ground lease, which has a term of 75 years commencing
in October 1988 (subject to earlier termination in the event of a
sale of the land as described below), provides for monthly base rent
aggregating $1,170,000 annually with minimum payments of $650,000.
The ground lease also provides for contingent rent (payable quarterly
out of the excess, if any, of substantially all of the gross receipts
from the operations of the shopping center received by the
borrower/lessee over certain base amounts) equal to the sum of (x) a
specified annual amount (commencing in the fourth lease year at
$390,000 per annum and increasing in the sixth lease year to $520,000
per annum), increased until paid at the "applicable rate" of interest
payable under the first leasehold mortgage loan described below (such
amount as so increased herein called the "rent shortfall amount"),
plus (y) 15 percent of the balance of such excess gross receipts
remaining after deducting the aggregate amount paid at such time of
the rent shortfall amount under the ground lease and the "interest
shortfall amount" under the first leasehold mortgage loan as
described below.

The first leasehold mortgage loan has a term of 15 years to October
2003, which may be extended from time to time at the option of
Monmouth Associates for up to an additional 20 years, subject to
acceleration of the loan in the event of a joint sale of the property
or a purchase by either Monmouth Associates or the borrower/lessee of
the other party's entire interest in the property.

The first leasehold mortgage loan provides for monthly payments of
base interest at a base rate of 5.98 percent per annum for the first
two loan years, 7.97 percent per annum for the third loan year and 5
percent per annum for each loan year thereafter. The first leasehold
mortgage loan also provides for quarterly payments of contingent
interest (payable out of the excess, if any, of substantially all of
the gross receipts from the operations of the shopping center
received by the borrower/lessee over certain base amounts) equal to
the sum of (x) the difference between the amount of interest payable<PAGE>
PAGE 12
on the loan at the "applicable rate" and that payable at the base
rate described above, increased until paid at the applicable rate
(such amount as so increased herein called the "interest shortfall
amount"), plus (y) 45 percent of the balance of such excess gross
receipts remaining after deducting the aggregate amount paid at such
time of the rent shortfall amount under the ground lease and the
interest shortfall amount under the first leasehold mortgage loan.
The "applicable rate" under the loan is 5.98 percent per annum for
the first two loan years, 7.97 percent per annum for the next three
loan years and 8.97 percent per annum for each loan year thereafter.

In May 1994, Monmouth Associates agreed to finance the cost of a
renovation of Monmouth Mall. The maximum amount of the renovation
loan is $29,100,000 and as of December 31, 1995 fundings of
$21,476,000 have been made. Certain of the fundings for the
renovation loan have been made out of cash reserves and the cash flow
of Monmouth Associates as well as out of additional capital
contributions to Monmouth Associates made pro rata based upon the
respective interests of its joint venture partners. The Account's
share of such additional capital contributions would be approximately
$727,000 based on its approximate 6.97 percent interest in Monmouth
Associates of which $685,000 had been contributed as of December 31,
1995. The renovation of the shopping center includes, among other
things, the addition of a food court and cinema and the re-
merchandising of approximately 300,000 square feet of space and has
been substantially completed as of December 31, 1995.

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 certain
other loans made for tenant improvements or other ordinary capital
expenditures and is cross-defaulted with those loans as well as the
ground lease. The remedies under the renovation loan are generally
limited to the property securing the obligation. Payment of
principal and accrued interest of the renovation loan 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.

Under the terms of the ground lease, as amended in connection with
the renovation loan, upon a joint sale or refinancing of the land and
the improvements thereon, Monmouth Associates generally will be
entitled to receive out of the proceeds of such sale or refinancing
the sum of (a) any accrued and unpaid rent shortfall amount plus
$13,000,000 (and any other amounts invested in the land), plus (b)
after payment of principal and any accrued and unpaid base interest
on the first leasehold mortgage loan and the renovation loan, the
return to the borrower/lessee of payments made to cover any cost
overruns in connection with the renovation, and payment of any
outstanding additional loans by Monmouth Associates and any advances<PAGE>
PAGE 13
by the borrower/lessee to pay the cost of certain capital or tenant
improvements described below, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, 17.5 percent of such remaining sale or refinancing
proceeds until Monmouth Associates has received aggregate payments
under the ground lease equal to an internal rate of return of 11
percent per annum on its investment in the land, plus (c) thereafter,
12.5 percent of any such remaining sale or refinancing proceeds. In
general, the remedies under the ground lease are limited to the
property securing such obligation.

Under the terms of the first leasehold mortgage loan, as amended in
connection with the renovation loan, upon a joint sale or refinancing
of the land and the improvements thereon, Monmouth Associates will be
entitled to receive out of the proceeds of such sale or refinancing,
after deducting the accrued and unpaid rent shortfall amount plus
$13,000,000 (and any other amounts invested in the land) payable to
Monmouth Associates pursuant to the terms of the ground lease, the
sum of (a)(i) any accrued and unpaid interest shortfall amount, (ii)
the outstanding principal amount of the first leasehold mortgage loan
plus any accrued and unpaid base interest thereon, and (iii) after
repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the renovation loan,
and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the return to the
borrower/lessee of payments made to cover any cost overruns in
connection with the renovation, and repayment of any additional loans
by Monmouth Associates and any advances by the borrower/lessee to pay
the cost of certain capital or tenant improvements described below,
together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, 52.5 percent
of such remaining sale or refinancing proceeds until Monmouth
Associates has received aggregate payments under the first leasehold
mortgage loan equal to an internal rate of return of 11 percent per
annum on the principal amount of such loan, plus (b) thereafter, 37.5
percent of any such remaining sale or refinancing proceeds. In the
event that the loan continues until its stated maturity date (as it
may be extended from time to time) without a joint sale of the
property or a sale of Monmouth Associates' entire interest in the
property, Monmouth Associates will be entitled to receive an amount
that would provide it the same consideration payable to it as the
first leasehold mortgage lender (but not as the ground lessor) under
a joint sale of the property described above, assuming that the
property were sold for its appraised fair market value. Aggregate
interest payable may not exceed a specified simple interest rate per
annum. In general, except for a prepayment in connection with a
joint sale of the property or a sale to the borrower/lessee of
Monmouth Associates' entire interest in the property as described
below, no prepayment of the first leasehold mortgage loan may be
made. In general, the remedies under the first leasehold mortgage
loan are limited to the property securing such obligation. The
borrower/lessee is obligated, at its own expense, to remove any
asbestos from the portion of the shopping center owned by the
borrower/lessee under certain circumstances.

Monmouth Associates also is required to make other additional loans
to finance the cost of 60 percent of tenant improvements or other
ordinary capital expenditures that exceed the amounts reserved by the
borrower/lessee for such expenditures, provided that the
borrower/lessee advances the remaining 40 percent of such
expenditures. <PAGE>
PAGE 14
The interest payable on any such additional loans (as well as on any
advances made by the borrower/lessee) is to be at the greater of the
applicable rate under the first leasehold mortgage loan as in effect
from time to time or the market rate of interest charged by
institutional lenders for similar loans. These additional loans
generally require payments of interest only until maturity of the
first leasehold mortgage loan (including any extension thereof
described above), at which time the outstanding principal and any
accrued and unpaid interest under the additional loans will be due
and payable. The additional loans may be prepaid prior to maturity
without a prepayment charge. Pursuant to such requirements,
Monmouth Associates has loaned the borrower/lessee an aggregate of
approximately $3,085,000 at fixed interest rates ranging from 8.25
percent to 10.5 percent per annum in connection with the cost of
tenant improvements and ordinary capital expenditures, including
tenant lease expenditures and termination payments. In connection
with the termination of a previous department store lease, Monmouth
Associates has advanced an additional $1,250,000 as an
expansion/renovation loan, which together with accrued interest
through October 1991, bears interest at 13 percent per annum, and has
permitted the borrower/lessee to defer payment of approximately
$729,000 of base interest, which also bears interest at 13 percent
per annum on the deferred amount. These loan amounts have been
advanced out of interest and lease payments received under the
first leasehold mortgage loan and ground lease along with the
reserves of Monmouth Associates.

The mortgage loan and renovation loan, as well as the ground lease,
all discussed above, accrue interest at a higher rate than the actual
cash payments of interest. In April 1992 Monmouth Associates put
these loans on non-accrual, based on the uncertainty as to the
collectibility of such contingent interest. During 1995, accrued
interest, from the periods prior to April 1992, totaling $3,576,000
was written off due to the uncertainty as to collectibility of these
accrued amounts.

Under the terms of the ground lease, at any time after October 2001
Monmouth Associates has the right, and at any time after October 2002
the borrower/lessee has the right, to cause a joint sale of the land
and the portion of the shopping center owned by the borrower/lessee,
subject to the right of first refusal of the other party to the
ground lease to acquire the entire interest in the property of the
party proposing such joint sale. In the event that the first
leasehold mortgage loan continues until its stated maturity date
(including any extension of such maturity date described above), the
borrower/lessee has the option to purchase Monmouth Associates'
interest in both the land and the first leasehold mortgage loan for
an aggregate amount that would provide Monmouth Associates the same
consideration payable to it as ground lessor and first leasehold
mortgage lender under a joint sale of the property described above,
assuming that the property were sold for its appraised fair market
value.

In general, except for certain transfers by Monmouth Associates to an
affiliate, each of Monmouth Associates and the borrower/lessee may
only transfer its entire respective interest in the property
(including its interest in the first leasehold mortgage loan),<PAGE>
PAGE 15
subject to the consent of the other party and the other party's right
of first refusal to acquire such interest. In general, neither
Monmouth Associates nor the borrower/lessee may transfer a portion of
its interest in the property.

The portion of the shopping center owned by the borrower/lessee is
being managed by an affiliate of the borrower/lessee under a
long-term agreement pursuant to which it is obligated to manage the
property and collect all receipts from operations of the property for
a fee equal to 3.5 percent of the base and percentage rents from the
property. In addition, the manager is entitled to compensation for
leasing and re-leasing services at the shopping center. The

1225 Connecticut Avenue
Washington, D.C.

In May 1990 the Account acquired an interest in a newly formed
Delaware corporation (the Corporation) owned jointly with certain
other persons, as described below. The Corporation has acquired an
office building located in Washington, D.C. known as 1225 Connecticut
Avenue, N.W. (1225 Connecticut), an eight-story reinforced concrete
frame building containing 183,530 square feet of rentable office
space, 18,438 square feet of rentable retail space, 6,416 square feet
of below grade storage space and 100,024 square feet of subsurface
parking space for over 300 automobiles. The building, which was
completed in 1968, is located on an approximately 33,000 square foot
site that fronts Connecticut Avenue, 18th Street and "N" Street, N.W.

The office and retail space of 1225 Connecticut is currently 100
percent leased and occupied under leases having original minimum
terms (not including renewal options) which vary in duration from 5-
1/2 to 12 years with current annual base rents ranging from<PAGE>
PAGE 16
approximately $17.50 to $48.90 per rentable square foot. The current
average annual base rent for the office and retail space is
approximately $30.29 per square foot. The storage space is currently
59 percent leased and occupied under leases having original minimum
terms (not including renewal options) that vary in duration from 5 to
12 years with the current annual base rents ranging from
approximately $11.05 to $15.00 per square foot. The current average
annual base rent for the storage space is approximately $11.30 per
square foot. The average annual occupancy rates (based upon
occupancy at the end of each month during the year) and approximate
average annual base rents per square foot for the office and retail
space for the past four years are as follows:

Average Annual
Average Annual Base Rent
Year Occupancy Rate Per Square Foot
1991 99% $20.05
1992 99 20.35
1993 95 28.60
1994 96 32.60
1995 100 30.29

Substantially all of the office and retail leases contain provisions,
subject to certain limitations, requiring tenants to pay, in addition
to their annual base rent, their pro-rata share of real estate taxes
and operating expenses over certain base amounts. In addition, leases
covering a majority of the office and retail space contain
provisions, subject to certain limitations, pursuant to which rents
may be increased based upon changes in a consumer price index from a
base year.

Ernst & Young currently leases approximately 80 percent of the office
space. Effective January 1, 1995 per the terms of the Third
Amendment to the Ernst and Young lease, the lease term of the fourth
floor premises consisting of 26,328 square feet was amended to expire
on June 30, 2007. In addition, the amendment modified the monthly
base rent to $33.82 per average square foot for the total leased
premises of 159,664 square feet. Effective August 1, 1995, Ernst and
Young entered into a Fourth Amendment to occupy 2,023 square feet of
retail space to expire June 30, 2007. As a result, the Ernst & Young
leases generally are as follows:

Current
Annual
Square Base Expiration
Tenant Feet Rent Date
Ernst & Young:
Ground Floor 1,676 $17.50 June 2007
2nd,4th,5th,6th,7th,
& 8th floors 157,968 34.00 June 2007
Retail Space 2,023 24.00 June 2007

In connection with the extension and expansion of its leases, Ernst
& Young received certain leasing incentives, including a tenant
improvement allowance and a rent credit for its fourth floor space
for a portion of the lease term commencing in 1995. The primary
lease for Ernst & Young covers approximately 157,968 square feet of
space, not including the ground floor and retail space.<PAGE>
PAGE 17
The real estate and vault taxes on 1225 Connecticut were
approximately $885,000 for the tax year ended September 30, 1995.
Such taxes are expected to be approximately $1,039,000 for the tax
year ended September 30, 1996. 1225 Connecticut is subject to
competition from several other commercial projects in its vicinity,
including a number of office buildings owned by entities either
sponsored or advised by an affiliate of the Investment Adviser. In
the opinion of the Investment Adviser, the building is adequately
insured.

The Corporation has elected to qualify as a real estate investment
trust (REIT) pursuant to sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). For each taxable year
that the Corporation qualifies as a REIT, the Corporation in general
will not be subject to federal corporate income tax or the
District of Columbia corporate franchise tax on its regular taxable
income and will not be taxable on long-term capital gain income to
the extent its income is distributed as dividends. If the
Corporation were to fail to qualify as a REIT, it would be taxed at
rates applicable to corporations on its taxable income, whether or
not distributed. Because it is a corporation, it will not be subject
to the District of Columbia franchise tax on unincorporated
businesses, which is imposed on any trade or business conducted
within the District by an unincorporated person, including a
partnership.

The Account owns approximately 16.3 percent of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Corporation. Approximately 44 percent of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation are owned by a
publicly held real estate limited partnership affiliated with the
Investment Adviser. There is no other class of stock of the
Corporation authorized or outstanding, and no other shares of common
stock may be issued without the consent of shareholders owning at
least 96 percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock of
the Corporation. The major shareholders of the Corporation
(including the Account) owning in excess of 99 percent of the
Corporation's outstanding stock have entered into a shareholders'
agreement which provides, among other things, that upon a proposed
sale of shares the non-selling major shareholders shall have a right
of first refusal to buy out the selling major shareholders' shares in
the Corporation; the approval of shareholders owning at least 96
percent of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation is
required to make certain major decisions; and, in the event of a
disagreement regarding a proposed sale of 1225 Connecticut, the major
shareholders not desiring to sell would have a right of first refusal
to purchase the other major shareholders' shares in the Corporation
and if all of such shares are not acquired pursuant to the exercise
of such right of first refusal, the Corporation may conclude a sale
of the property.

The Corporation purchased 1225 Connecticut from the seller for a
purchase price of approximately $54,125,000, consisting of
$51,425,000 paid in cash and approximately $2,700,000 of mortgage
indebtedness then encumbering the property. In connection with the
acquisition of the property, the Corporation paid approximately
$2,130,000 for real estate brokerage commissions to an independent
third party and certain closing costs. The Account contributed
$9,000,000 for its interest in the Corporation.<PAGE>
PAGE 18
In January 1994 the Corporation refinanced its mortgage loan, which
had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,667,000 at
the time of refinancing, 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 $488,600 per annum until maturity in February 2001 when
the entire outstanding principal amount together with accrued
interest will be due and payable. Under certain circumstances, the
principal amount of the loan may be prepaid in whole (but not in
part), subject to a prepayment premium based upon the present value
of the difference, if any, between the remaining scheduled monthly
payments on the loan at the date of prepayment and the amount such
monthly payments would be if the interest rate on the loan were equal
to the yield on a U.S. government security with a comparable maturity
date. Pursuant to the deed of trust securing the mortgage loan, the
Corporation is prohibited from modifying Ernst & Young's primary
lease or from entering into certain other tenant leases without the
lender's consent. Prior to selling the property or encumbering the
property with any additional debt, the Corporation must obtain the
consent of the lender, which may be arbitrarily withheld. However,
subject to certain restrictions, the Corporation has a one-time right
to transfer title to the property together with an assumption of the
mortgage loan. The excess net proceeds from the refinancing in the
amount of approximately $5,300,000 are being used to pay a
substantial portion of the costs for lobby and other common area
renovation costs, a sprinkler system and certain tenant improvement
costs related to the Ernst & Young lease extension. Approximately
$4,900,000 has been spent through December 31, 1995 for those costs
with an additional $855,000 expected to be spent in 1996.

The property is being managed under an agreement pursuant to which
the manager is obligated to manage 1225 Connecticut, collect all of
the receipts from operations and, to the extent available from such
receipts, pay all of the expenses of the property. The manager is
paid a fee equal to 2.5 percent of the gross revenues of the
property, plus reimbursement for certain direct expenses of the
manager. The property had been managed by JMB Properties Company, an
affiliate of the Investment Adviser, until December 1994, when JMB
Properties Company sold substantially all of its assets to an
unaffiliated third party, and certain management personnel of JMB
Properties Company became management personnel of the third party.
As a result of sale, the successor to JMB Properties Company's assets
now acts as manager of 1225 Connecticut on the same terms that
existed prior to the sale.

1225 Connecticut leases approximately 80% of the available space of
the property to one tenant under leases, all with terms of 12 years.
For the year ended December 31, 1995 such tenant represented
approximately 77% of total revenues.

An unaffiliated third party leases and operates the entire parking
garage (subject to certain parking rights provided for tenants of the
property) for a term extending until November 1997. The lease
provides for a fixed rent payment of $485,000 a year (which reflects
an increase at the end of 1993 from $430,000 a year), provides that
the lessee shall pay the operating expenses of the parking garage and
does not provide such lessee with an option to extend the term of the
lease.<PAGE>

Riverpoint Center
Chicago, Illinois

The Account entered into a participation agreement to fund up to
$3,000,000 of a first mortgage loan in the maximum principal amount
of $29,250,000. The remaining portion of the loan has been funded by
JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-IV and JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-III,
which are affiliates of the Investment Adviser. (The Account, JMB
Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-IV and JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-III are
collectively called the Lenders). The loan is secured by a first
mortgage on a shopping center known as Riverpoint Center and located
on an approximately 17-acre site at the intersection of Wood Street
and Fullerton Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The shopping center is
owned by a partnership (the Borrower) whose general partners are not
affiliated with any of the Lenders and is managed by an affiliate of
the Borrower.

The initial funding (the Initial Funding) of the loan, in the amount
of $26,000,000 (of which the Account's share was $2,666,660),
occurred in August 1989. Additional amounts, aggregating
approximately $2,040,000 (of which the Account's share was
approximately $209,000), have been funded since the Initial Funding.
The Borrower did not qualify for any additional fundings above the
$28,040,000 which has been funded to date, and no additional fundings
will be made by the Lenders. The shopping center, which was
completed in June 1989, has masonry walls with interior steel frames
and a brick facade with metal detailing and includes a parking lot
for approximately 860 cars. Real estate taxes on the shopping center
were approximately $1,084,000 for the 1994 tax year and are expected
to be approximately $1,106,000 for the 1995 tax year, the most recent
year of assessment.

In the opinion of the Investment Adviser, the shopping center is
adequately insured. The shopping center is subject to competition
from other retail properties in the area.

The shopping center, which is currently approximately 95 percent
leased and occupied by 22 tenants, consists of approximately 200,800
square feet of gross leasable area. Existing tenant leases have
minimum terms, not including renewal options, ranging from 3 to 20
years with current annual base rents ranging from $11.60 to $29.00
per square foot. The current average annual base rent is
approximately $17.58 per square foot.
<PAGE>
PAGE 20
Substantially all existing leases contain provisions pursuant to
which each tenant is required to pay its pro-rata share of operating
expenses and real estate taxes of the shopping center and additional
rent in the form of a percentage of tenant gross receipts above a
certain base amount.

The first mortgage loan requires periodic payments of interest only,
matures 10 years after the date of the Initial Funding, and bears
interest as follows:

(1) Basic Interest: Basic Interest is payable monthly in advance at
the rates per annum set forth below:

Loan Years Interest Rate
1............ 8.84%
2-3.......... 8.75
4-6.......... 9.25
7-10.......... 9.50

(2) Accrual Interest: In addition to Basic Interest, interest accrues
at a simple rate of 2.0 percent per annum. The Accrual Interest is
due at maturity (subject to earlier payment upon sale of the shopping
center or prepayment of the loan). The Accrual Interest is reduced
dollar-for-dollar by the amount of Additional Interest paid as
described below.

(3) Additional Interest: The Lenders are entitled to receive
Additional Interest for each calendar year (or portion thereof) equal
to 50 percent of the gross income (exclusive of tenant reimbursements
of expenses) from the shopping center in excess of a base amount of
$2,737,000. The Lenders are also entitled to receive Additional
Interest equal to 50 percent of the amount by which the value of the
shopping center exceeds $28,040,000, to be paid as follows: (i) upon
sale (if any) of the shopping center, an amount equal to 50 percent
of the amount by which the gross sale proceeds from such sale (net of
customary closing prorations and seller's closing expenses) exceed
the greater of (A) $28,040,000, or (B) the highest gross proceeds
from any single prior sale made after the Initial Funding in
connection with which Additional Interest was paid, and (ii) at
maturity or upon prepayment, an amount equal to 50 percent of the
amount by which the then current fair market value of the shopping
center (determined by appraisal) exceeds the greater of (A)
$28,040,000, or (B) the highest gross proceeds from any single prior
sale made after the Initial Funding in connection with which
Additional Interest was paid. Aggregate interest payable over the
term of the loan may not exceed that which would be obtained from a
certain specified simple interest rate per annum.

The loan is generally non-recourse to the Borrower and its partners.
The entire principal balance of the loan and all Accrual and
Additional Interest not previously paid will be due at maturity. In
the event that the Borrower sells or further encumbers the shopping
center without the Lenders' consent, the Lenders will have the option
to accelerate the loan. The loan is not prepayable by the Borrower<PAGE>
PAGE 21
for eight years following the Initial Funding. Thereafter, the loan
may be prepaid in full upon payment of a prepayment charge in an
amount equal to 7 percent of the loan's principal balance in the
ninth loan year and 4 percent in the first six months of the tenth
loan year. Thereafter, no prepayment charge will be due. Any action
taken or consent to be given by the Lenders under the loan documents
generally requires the vote or consent of the Lenders representing a
majority of the principal amount of the loan outstanding. In
general, in the event that a Lender proposes to sell or transfer its
interest in the loan, the other Lenders will have a right of first
refusal to acquire such interest. The following is a schedule of
expiration of leases (assuming no renewals or cancellations) and
current annual base rents allocable thereto:

West Springfield
Terrace Apartments
Fairfax County, Virginia

In August 1989, the Account acquired a 244-unit garden apartment
complex known as the West Springfield Terrace Apartments, which is
located on an approximately 13.2-acre site at the intersection of Old
Keene Mill Road and Bauer Road in Springfield, Fairfax County,
Virginia.

The apartment complex, which was completed in 1978, consists of 17
separate three- and four-story buildings of wood frame with brick
veneer construction containing 52 one-bedroom units, 22 one-bedroom
and den units, 118 two-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom and den units
and 30 three-bedroom units. Each unit has either a patio or balcony
and a washer/dryer. The complex contains a swimming pool, tennis
court, clubhouse and approximately 380 parking spaces. The complex
at present is approximately 96 percent occupied. The
average annual occupancy rates (based upon occupancy at the end of
each week during the year) and approximate average monthly rents per
unit for the past five years are as follows:

Average Monthly
Average Annual Base Rent Per
Year Occupancy Rate Unit
1991 92% $793
1992 95 797
1993 96 806
1994 95 837
1995 95 808

Current monthly rentals range from $755 to $1,015 per unit.<PAGE>
PAGE 22
Real estate taxes on the complex were approximately $180,000 for the
1995 tax year and are expected to be approximately $198,000 for the
1996 tax year.

The complex is subject to competition from other apartment complexes
in the area. The Investment Adviser estimates that there is at
present an approximate 10 percent vacancy rate in the area for
apartment complexes that have sufficient operating experience after
initial rent-up and that might be deemed competitive. In the opinion
of the Investment Adviser, the apartment complex is adequately
insured.

The Account paid $15,222,278 for the apartment complex in cash at
closing (exclusive of closing costs and prorations). In connection
with the acquisition of the property, the Account paid a prepayment
charge at closing of $92,221 to the lender that held the mortgage
loan on the property at the time of its purchase. At the time of the
acquisition it was anticipated that an additional amount of
approximately $1,450,000 would be used by the Account to pay the cost
of upgrading kitchens and bathrooms and certain other upgrades and
capital improvements at the complex. The renovation project was
subsequently increased to include replacing certain carpets in units
as they were renovated and to increase the number of units that
received certain upgrades. The renovation project was completed in
1992 at a cost of approximately $1,900,000. For 1996,
approximately $207,000 has been budgeted for painting, carpet
replacement and other capital costs.

In November 1989, the Account obtained a loan from an institutional
lender in the principal amount of $8,000,000 secured by a first
mortgage on the property. The current outstanding balance of the
loan is approximately $7,770,000. The loan has a term of seven years
and bears interest at a rate of 9.50 percent per annum. The loan
required monthly payments of interest only until November 1992 and
thereafter is amortizable over a 27-year schedule through monthly
payments of principal and interest aggregating $824,400 per annum
through November 1996 when the remaining principal balance of
approximately $7,704,000, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
is due and payable. The loan permits a prepayment in whole or in
part upon payment of a prepayment charge equal to the present value
of the difference, if any, between the remaining scheduled monthly
