THE GUARDIAN REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
OF
THE GUARDIAN INSURANCE & ANNUITY COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization
Organization
The Guardian Real Estate Account (the "Account") of The Guardian Insurance
& Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC) was established in 1987 under Delaware Insurance
Law as an insurance company separate account. Participating interests in the
Account are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are offered by GIAC
as an investment option under certain variable life insurance policies and
variable deferred annuity contracts (the "Contracts"). GIAC is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America ("The Guardian").
The obligations to Contractowners and beneficiaries arising under the
Contracts are general corporate obligations of GIAC. GIAC is the legal owner of
the assets in the Account. GIAC will at all times, however, maintain assets in
the Account with a total market value at least equal to the amounts credited
under each Contract which participates in the Account. These assets may not be
charged with liabilities which arise from any other business conducted by GIAC.
The Board of Directors of GIAC has authorized a total investment of up to
$25 million to enable the Account to acquire a portfolio of real estate-related
investments to meet its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to this
authority, GIAC has contributed capital to the Account from time to time since
its inception to provide funds for acquisitions and to preserve liquidity. GIAC
has also withdrawn contributed funds when it has appeared that such withdrawals
would not adversely affect the interests of Contractowners and all legal
requirements have been met. GIAC's most recent contributions to the Account were
made on December 27, 1993, July 27,1994 and October 28, 1994, when $1,800,000,
$400,000 and $550,000 respectively were invested. At March 31, 1996, GIAC
maintained 38% ownership of the Account.
The Account is authorized to invest in income-producing real property,
participating mortgage loans, conventional mortgage loans, real property
purchase-leaseback transactions and in short-term or intermediate-term debt
instruments for liquidity purposes.
The Account owns three properties. Two of the three properties are office
buildings located in Glastonbury, Connecticut which were acquired for $7,921,854
and $7,644,386, respectively. The third property is an office/distribution
facility located in Kennesaw, Georgia which was acquired on October 1, 1991 for
$5,134,068, including acquisition fees.

<PAGE>
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Real Estate Investment Properties
Investments in real estate are stated at estimated fair value; accordingly
the Account does not record depreciation. Real estate assets owned by the
Account are initially valued at their respective purchase prices. Thereafter,
the values will ordinarily be based upon appraisal reports on the real estate-
related assets prepared by independent real estate appraisers. Independent
appraisals are typically performed on at least an annual basis. The Account
reserves the right, however, to prepare the annual appraisals internally. The
property valuations are also reviewed internally at least every three months and
adjusted if it is determined that there has been a change in the value of one or
more of the properties since the last valuation.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of a property as
of a specific date. Fair value is defined as the most probable price for which
the appraised property will sell in a competitive market under all conditions
requisite to fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently,
knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue
duress. This estimation of fair value through the appraisal process inherently
requires the exercise of subjective judgements. Capital improvements are
recognized only to the extent that the valuation process acknowledges a
corresponding increase in fair value.
Short-term Investments
The short-term investments held by the Account will consist of the types
and quality of investments authorized for purchase by the Account. These
instruments include: U.S. Government securities; securities issued or fully
guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies; repurchase agreements; certificates of
deposit; banker's acceptances; and commercial paper. Short-term investments are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market.
At March 31, 1996, the Account's short-term investments consisted of a
repurchase agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Co. which matures on April
1, 1996. The collateral under the repurchase agreement consists of a U.S.
Treasury Note, held in safekeeping in the name of the Account at State Street
Bank and Trust Co., the Account's custodian (Note 9). Repurchase agreements held
by the Account are fully collateralized (including the interest earned thereon)
and marked to market daily during the entire term of such agreements. If the
value of the underlying collateral falls below the value of the repurchase price
plus accrued interest, the Account will require the seller to deposit additional
collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is
not met, or the seller defaults, the Account maintains the right to sell the
collateral and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
Long-term Investments
Long-term investments are carried at market value. Securities listed on
national securities exchanges are valued based upon closing prices on these
exchanges. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which there have been no trades for the day are valued at the
mean of the bid and asked prices.
Net realized gain or loss on sales of investments is determined on the
basis of identified cost. Interest income, including amortization of premium and
discount, is recorded when earned.
-7-
<PAGE>
Revenue Recognition
Income from properties and other investments, as well as expenses, are
recorded on the accrual basis.
Federal Income Taxes
The operations of the Account are part of the operations of GIAC and, as
such, are included in the combined tax return of GIAC. GIAC is taxed as a life
insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Under tax law, no federal income taxes are payable by GIAC with respect to
the operations of the Account. However, GIAC reserves the right to charge taxes
attributable to the Account in the future.
Note 3 - Investment Advisory Agreements And Related Parties Transactions
The investment managers of the Account are O'Connor Realty Advisors
Incorporated ("O'Connor Realty") and Guardian Investor Services Corporation
("GISC"). O'Connor Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of The O'Connor Group,
provides various management services with respect to the real estate-related
investments of the Account. GISC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GIAC, provides
services with respect to the assets maintained in cash and short-term and
intermediate-term marketable debt instruments.
The Account is charged a daily fee to compensate O'Connor Realty for its
investment management services. This fee amounts to 1.0% per year of the average
daily assets of the Account managed by O'Connor Realty. The Account is also
charged a daily fee to compensate GISC for its investment management services.
This fee amounts to 0.50% per year of the average daily net assets of the
Account managed by GISC.
GIAC assumed certain operating expenses of the Account since the Account's
inception. The amount of this subsidy varied over the years and was eliminated
entirely at the end of 1995. Total expenses assumed by GIAC were $25,573 and
$32,362 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, investment management fees
earned by GISC totalled $4,222 and investment management fees earned by O'Connor
Realty totalled $26,700. For the year ended December 31, 1995, investment
management fees earned by GISC totalled $16,702 and investment management fees
earned by O'Connor Realty totalled $123,495. For the year ended December 31,
1994, investment management fees earned by GISC totalled $16,446 and investment
management fees earned by O'Connor Realty totalled $122,898. No portion of the
expenses directly related to the operations of the real estate-related
investments or O'Connor Realty's investment management fee are subsidized.
Note 4 - Real Estate-Related Expenses
In addition to investment management fees and expenses, certain other
expenses and charges attributable to the real estate-related operations of the
Account are also charged against the Account. All costs of acquisition,
administration and disposition of the real estate-related investments are
-8-
<PAGE>
charged to the account. These costs include brokerage fees, appraisal fees,
attorneys' fees, architects' fees, engineers' fees and accountants' fees
incurred in connection with the investment process. In addition, the Account
will incur recurring costs such as mortgage servicing fees, annual audit
charges, accounting and legal fees and various administrative expenses. Other
expenses, such as insurance costs, taxes, and property management fees, will
ordinarily be deducted from rental income, thereby reducing the gross income of
the Account.
Note 5 - Leases
The buildings in the Account are leased to corporate tenants under various
lease arrangements. The leases expire at various times through 2000 in the
Glastonbury, Connecticut buildings. Leases renewed during 1993 and 1994 provide
for rental payments which are generally lower than previous rental rates,
reflecting market declines. The lease for the Kennesaw, Georgia facility expires
in the third quarter of 2001. Aggregate minimum rentals for the three buildings
are as follows:

Total $ 8,475,461
===========
Certain leases provide for additional rents based upon operating costs in
excess of given base amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, rental
income included approximately $20,184 of such additional rental income. For the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, rental income included approximately
$79,089 and $86,757, respectively, of such additional rental income.
Note 6 - Annuitant Mortality Fluctuation Fund
The Annuitant Mortality Fluctuation Fund is a special fund established in
response to various regulatory requirements and provides for any possible
adverse experience inherent in the transaction of annuity business.
Note 7 - Other Charges
Included in the Account's total expenses are mortality and expense risk
charges which are calculated on a daily basis and applied to the Contracts and
thus to each Contractowner's interest by GIAC.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be considered in conjunction
with the Selected Financial Data appearing below and the Account's
financial statements and their related notes which also appear in this
Prospectus.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 1996, the Account's net assets totalled $14,283,681. Of
this amount, $8,895,652 was attributable to Contractowner interests and
$5,388,029 was attributable to GIAC. At December 31, 1995, the Account's
net assets totalled $14,411,437. The Account's current source of funds is
primarily Contractowner contributions, although in December 1993, July
1994 and October 1994 GIAC contributed $1.8 million, $400,000, and
$550,000, respectively, to the Account to diversify its portfolio of
investments.
As of March 31, 1996, 75% of the Account's assets were invested in real
estate-related assets and the remainder was invested in permitted
fixed-income instruments. Throughout the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Account remained able to meet its obligations under GIAC's variable
Contracts to pay benefits and effect transfers. GIAC believes that the
Account will continue to be sufficiently liquid to meet Contract
obligations. Furthermore, GIAC has indicated its willingness to contribute
to the Account in the future to permit the acquisition of additional
assets or to meet liquidity needs. However, there can be no assurance that
GIAC will make additional contributions to the Account.
Based on the conclusions of an internal appraisal, the building at 45
Glastonbury Boulevard has been valued at $2,800,000 and the building at
115 Glastonbury Boulevard has been valued at $2,950,000 as of March 31,
1996. These appraised values remain unchanged from the year-end 1995
values which were based on an external appraisal. Both Glastonbury
buildings have declined in value from their respective acquisition costs.
The persistent economic downturn in the Northeast generally and
Connecticut specifically have adversely affected these buildings. Although
the buildings are fully leased, most of the leases for space within the
buildings have been renegotiated or renewed at lower rates than those
which were in force when the buildings were acquired. This has contributed
to the decline in value for both of the Glastonbury buildings. The
declines in value at year-end 1995 are primarily attributable to the
long-term negative effects on the economy and office leasing market in the
Hartford area resulting from the significant layoffs announced by two
major employers in the Hartford area in late 1995.
The Account's real estate-related investment located in Kennesaw, Georgia
was also appraised by an internal appraiser as of March 31, 1996. The
appraised value of $5,200,000 remains unchanged from its year-end 1995
value. Thus, the current appraised value is slightly higher than its
acquisition cost of $5,134,068. This valuation does not reflect any
potential renewal of the current lease, nor any potential expansion of the
facility. Both are uncertain at this time, but could add to the property's
value if they were to occur.
Cash and liquid securities held by the Account decreased slightly during
the three months ended March 31, 1996, largely as a result of interest
income.
Results of Operations
The Account's net assets increased as a result of operations for the
period ended March 31, 1996. For the three months ended March 31, 1995 net
assets from operations increased by $483,854. Total revenues for the same
time periods were $583,754 and $575,658 respectively. For the three months
ended March 31, 1994 total revenues were $631,339.
The Account's expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totalled
$297,388 as compared to $316,771 for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and $273,896 for the three months ended March 31, 1994. In the previous
period, GIAC subsidized 25% of the Account's operating expenses. The
foregoing expense amounts include the effects of subsidization. GIAC
terminated the subsidy, effective January 1, 1996. The termination of
GIAC's subsidy will have the effect of decreasing the ultimate return
realized by Contractowners who have interests in the Account.

Finally, the Account has experienced net withdrawals of Contractowner
contributions for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the years
ended 1995 and 1994. The Account's inability to attract and retain
Contractowner contributions has hindered its efforts to expand its
investment portfolio. The Account is offered as one of several investment
options under the Contracts. When comparing the relative attractiveness of
the investment options and considering the recent economic and market
climate, Contractowners have generally elected to allocate their Contract
values among other investment options offered under the Contracts.
Accordingly, the Account has not flourished concomitantly with increases
in premiums received by GIAC for the Contracts which offer the Account as
an investment option.
