TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1--Organization
The TIAA Real Estate Account ("Account") is a segregated investment account of
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA") and was
established by resolution of TIAA's Board of Trustees on February 22, 1995,
under the insurance laws of the State of New York, for the purpose of funding
variable annuity contracts issued by TIAA. Teachers REA, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Account, began operations in July 1996 and holds one property
in Virginia. Light Street Partners, L.P. ("Light Street"), a partnership in
which the Account holds a 90% interest, began operations in March 1997 and holds
eight office buildings throughout the United States. Teachers REA II, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in October 1997 and
holds one property in Pennsylvania.
The Account commenced operations on July 3, 1995 with a $100,000,000 seed money
investment by TIAA. TIAA purchased 1,000,000 Accumulation Units in the Account
and such Units share in the prorata investment experience of the Account and are
subject to the same valuation procedures and expense deductions as all other
Accumulation Units of the Account. The initial registration statement of the
Account filed by TIAA with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
under the Securities Act of 1933 became effective on October 2, 1995. The
Account began to offer Accumulation Units and Annuity Units to participants
other than TIAA on October 2, and November 1, 1995, respectively. In August
1996, the Account's net assets first reached $200 million and, as required under
a five year repayment schedule approved by the New York State Insurance
Department ("NYID"), TIAA began to redeem its seed money Accumulation Units in
monthly installments of 16,667 Units beginning in September 1996. Since the
Account's assets have been growing rapidly, TIAA in October 1997, with NYID
approval, modified the seed money redemption schedule by increasing the monthly
redemption of Units at a level equal to the value of 25% of the Account's net
asset growth for the prior month, with no fewer than 16,667 Units and no more
than 100,000 Units to be redeemed each month. These withdrawals are made at
prevailing daily net asset values and are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 1998, TIAA retained 368,576
Accumulation Units, with a total value of $45,978,308.
The investment objective of the Account is a favorable long-term rate of return
primarily through rental income and capital appreciation from real estate
investments owned by the Account. The Account also invests in publicly-traded
securities and other instruments to maintain adequate liquidity for operating
expenses, capital expenditures and to make benefit payments.
TIAA employees, under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its
Investment Committee, manage the investment of the Account's assets pursuant to
investment management procedures adopted by TIAA for the Account. TIAA's
investment management decisions for the Account are also subject to review by
the Account's independent fiduciary, Institutional Property Consultants, Inc.
TIAA also provides all portfolio accounting and related services for the
Account. TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, Inc. ("Services"), a
subsidiary of TIAA, which is registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer
and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
provides administrative and distribution services pursuant to a Distribution and
Administrative Services Agreement with the Account.

Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
followed by the Account, which are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the Account, Teachers REA, Inc. and Teachers REA II, Inc., its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Light Street, in which the Account holds a 90%
interest. The 10% minority interest in Light Street is reflected separately in
the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Valuation of Real Estate Properties: Investments in real estate properties are
stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by
the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole; accordingly, the Account does not
record depreciation. Fair value for real estate properties is defined as the
most probable price for which a property will sell in a competitive market under
all conditions requisite to a fair sale. Determination of fair value involves
subjective judgement because the actual market value of real estate can be
determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales transaction. Real
estate properties owned by the Account are initially valued at their respective
purchase prices (including acquisition costs). Subsequently, independent
appraisers value each real estate property at least once a year. The independent
fiduciary must approve all independent appraisers used by the Account. The
independent fiduciary can also require additional appraisals if it believes that
a property's value has changed materially or otherwise to assure that the
Account is valued correctly. TIAA's appraisal staff performs a valuation review
of each real estate property on a quarterly basis and updates the property value
if it believes that the value of the property has changed since the previous
valuation review or appraisal. The independent fiduciary reviews and approves
any such valuation adjustments which exceed certain prescribed limits. TIAA
continues to use the revised value to calculate the Account's net asset value
until the next valuation review or appraisal.
Valuation of Marketable Securities: Equity securities listed or traded on any
United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sales price as
of the close of the principal securities exchange on which such securities are
traded or, if there is no sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices on
such exchange. Short- term money market instruments are stated at market value.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the
Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole.
Accounting for Investments: Real estate transactions are accounted for as of the
date on which the purchase or sale transactions for the real estate properties
close (settlement date). Rent from real estate properties consists of all
amounts earned under tenant operating leases, including base rent, recoveries of
real estate taxes and other expenses and charges for miscellaneous services
provided to tenants. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the billing
terms of the lease agreements. The Account bears the direct expenses of the real
estate properties owned. These expenses include, but are not limited to, fees to
local property management companies, property taxes, utilities, maintenance,
repairs, insurance and other operating and administrative costs. An estimate of
the net operating income earned from each real estate property is accrued by the
Account on a daily basis and such estimates are adjusted as soon as actual
operating results are determined. Realized gains and losses on real estate
transactions are accounted for under the specific identification method.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned and, for
short-term money market instruments, includes accrual of discount and
amortization of premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are accounted for on the
average cost basis.

<PAGE>
Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies - (Concluded)
Federal Income Taxes: Based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, no
federal income taxes are attributable to the net investment experience of the
Account.
Note 3--Management Agreements
Under established management agreements, various services necessary for the
operation of the Account are provided, at cost, by TIAA and Services. TIAA
provides investment management services for the Account while distribution and
administrative services are provided by Services in accordance with a
Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement between the Account and
Services. An affiliate of the minority partner in Light Street provides certain
management services for the properties owned by Light Street and the charges for
such services, totaling $180,265 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are
included in investment advisory charges in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. TIAA also provides a liquidity guarantee to the
Account, for a fee, to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet
participant transfer and cash withdrawal requests in the event that the
Account's cash flows and liquid investments are insufficient to fund such
requests. TIAA also receives a fee for assuming certain mortality and expense
risks.
Fee payments are made from the Account on a daily basis to TIAA and Services
according to formulas established each year with the objective of keeping the
fees as close as possible to the Account's actual expenses. Any differences
between actual expenses and daily charges are adjusted quarterly.
Note 4--Real Estate Properties
Had the Account's real estate property which was purchased during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 been acquired at the beginning of the period
(January 1, 1998), rental income and real estate property level expenses and
taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 would have increased by
approximately $900,000 and $471,000, respectively. In addition, interest income
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 would have decreased by approximately
$411,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net investment
income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 would have been an increase of
approximately $18,000, if the real estate property acquired during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 had been acquired at the beginning of the period.
Note 5--Leases
The Account's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating lease
agreements which expire on various dates through 2021. Aggregate minimum annual
rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are
as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The TIAA Real Estate Account began operating on July 3, 1995 and
interests in the Account were first offered to participants on October 2, 1995.
Through March 31, 1998, the Account had acquired a total of 34 real
estate properties, including twelve office properties, eight industrial
properties, five neighborhood shopping centers, and nine apartment complexes. As
of March 31, 1998, these properties represented 60.66% of the Account's total
investment portfolio.
The Account purchased one apartment property during the first quarter
of 1998. The Account continues to pursue suitable property acquisitions, and is
currently in various stages of negotiations with a number of prospective
sellers. While attractive acquisition prospects are available in the current
market, significant competition exists for the most desirable properties.
As of March 31, 1998, the Account also held investments in U.S.
government agencies, representing 18.47% of the portfolio, real estate
investment trusts (REITs), representing 13.29% of the portfolio, commercial
paper, representing 6.48% of the portfolio, and corporate bonds, representing
1.10% of the portfolio.
The Account owns a controlling 90% interest in a partnership which owns
eight office buildings throughout the U.S. Consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), the Account's consolidated financial statements
and all the financial data discussed in this report reflect 100% of the value of
the partnership's assets. The 10% interest of the other partner in the
partnership is reflected as a minority interest in the Account's consolidated
financial statements.
Results of Operations-Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months
Ended March 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Account's total net return was 2.00% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1.59% for the same quarter in 1997. The Account's net
investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $14,985,663 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and $7,393,299 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, a 103% increase. This increase was the result of a growing base
of net assets from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998. Net assets increased 62%
during that period. In addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized
gains on investments of $2,643,236 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
a net realized and unrealized loss on investments of $41,952 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. While the Account posted net unrealized gains on
its real estate investments of $3,642,113 and $109,320, respectively, in the
first quarter of 1998 and 1997, during the same periods it posted net unrealized
losses on marketable securities of $1,258,760 and $189,178, respectively,
resulting primarily from the decline in market value of the Account's REIT
holdings.
15
<PAGE>
The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 69% and 48%
of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level
expenses) during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997,
respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was
generated by marketable securities investments.
Gross real estate rental income was $17,653,332 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and $5,328,964 for the same period in 1997. The higher real
estate income for the first quarter of 1998 was primarily due to the increase in
the number of properties owned by the Account from 17 properties as of March 31,
1997 to 34 properties as of March 31, 1998. Interest income on the Account's
short- and intermediate-term investments for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 totaled $3,218,082 and $3,720,927, respectively. Dividend income
on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $1,769,522 and $478,729,
respectively, for the same periods. Shares of REITs totaled 13.29% of the
Account investments as of March 31, 1998 and 7.73% as of March 31, 1997. This
higher percentage and the general growth in the Account's assets accounted for
the higher dividend income for first three months of 1998, as compared with the
same period in 1997.
Total property level expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998
were $6,294,220, of which $2,218,102 was attributable to real estate taxes and
$4,076,118 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,509,659, of which $571,989 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $937,670 was attributable to operating
expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first three months
of 1998 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.
The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 of $698,265 and $283,270, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $506,996 and $265,407, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $155,792 and $76,985, respectively, for the mortality
and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses increased
as a result of the larger net asset base in the Account for the first quarter of
1998 over the first quarter of 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Since September 16, 1996, TIAA has been redeeming the accumulation
units related to its $100 million seed money investment in the Account in
accordance with a repayment schedule approved by the New York Insurance
Department. As of March 31, 1998, the Account had redeemed 631,424 accumulation
units at prevailing daily unit values, amounting to $75,051,717 in total
redemption payments to TIAA, leaving it holding 368,576 units at March 31, 1998
with a value of $45,978,308. TIAA expects to complete the redemption of its seed
money investment sometime in 1998, but, in any event, no later than in the year
2000.
At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its
cash, REITs, short-and intermediate-term investments, and government securities)
had a value of $360,736,891
16
<PAGE>
and $386,852,051, respectively. We plan to use much of the Account's liquid
assets, exclusive of the REITs, to purchase additional suitable real estate
properties. The remaining liquid assets, exclusive of the REITs, will continue
to be primarily invested in marketable securities to meet expense needs and
redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals or transfers).
If the Account's liquid assets and its cash flow from operating
activities and participant transactions are not sufficient to meet its cash
needs, including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase
liquidity units in accordance with TIAA's liquidity guarantee to the Account.
