                            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, LLC (formerly 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 June 30, 1998,  TIAA  retained  162,354
Accumulation Units, with a total value of $20,685,361.

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,  LLC  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.

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.  The charges for
such  services for the six months  ended June 30, 1998  amounted to $504,216 for
investment  advisory expenses and $77,307 for administrative  expenses which are
recorded accordingly 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 six months
ended June 30, 1998 been  acquired at the  beginning  of the period  (January 1,
1998),  rental income and real estate  property level expenses and taxes for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 would have increased by approximately  $1,900,000
and  $737,000,  respectively.  In addition,  interest  income for the six months
ended  June  30,  1998  would  have  decreased  by   approximately   $1,066,000.
Accordingly,  the total proforma  effect on the Account's net investment  income
for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  would  have  been  an  increase  of
approximately  $97,000,  if the real  estate  property  acquired  during the six
months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1998, the Account had acquired a total of 37 real estate
properties, including twelve office properties, eleven industrial properties,
five neighborhood shopping centers and nine apartment complexes. As of June 30,
1998, these properties represented 58.57% of the Account's total investment
portfolio.

      The Account purchased three industrial properties during the second
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 June 30, 1998, the Account also held investments in U.S. government
agency securities, representing 19.96% of the portfolio, real estate investment
trusts (REITs), representing 12.76% of the portfolio, commercial paper,
representing 7.73% of the portfolio and corporate bonds, representing .98% 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 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

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to
 Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

      The Account's total net return was 4.18% for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 3.71% for the same period in 1997. The Account's net investment income,
after deduction of all expenses, was $33,166,118 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and $17,561,848 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an 89%
increase. This increase was the result of a growing base of net assets from June
30, 1997 to June 30, 1998. Net assets increased 69% during that period. In
addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$5,751,177 and $1,853,268 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase
in unrealized appreciation of the Account's real estate assets. The Account
posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $12,823,405 and
$464,811, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997,
and net unrealized losses of $7,403,437, and net unrealized gains of $1,300,396,
respectively, during the same periods, resulting primarily from fluctuations in
market value of the Account's REIT holdings.

                                       15
<PAGE>

      The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 69% and 59% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The
remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by
marketable securities investments.

      Gross real estate rental income was $37,656,247 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and $16,328,667 for the same period in 1997. The higher real
estate income for the first six months of 1998 was primarily due to the increase
in the number of properties owned by the Account from 28 properties as of June
30, 1997 to 37 properties as of June 30, 1998. Interest income on the Account's
short- and intermediate- term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and June 30, 1997 totaled $7,225,583 and $6,463,722, respectively. This increase
was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the
Account's investments in REITs totaled $3,856,819 and $1,311,110, respectively,
for the same periods. Shares of REITs totaled 12.8% of the Account investments
as of June 30, 1998 and 10.7% as of June 30, 1997. This higher percentage and
the general growth in the Account's assets accounted for the increased dividend
income for first six months of 1998, as compared with the same period in 1997.

      Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$12,474,350, of which $4,346,105 was attributable to real estate taxes and
$8,128,245 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 were $5,059,585, of which $1,761,336 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $3,298,249 was attributable to operating
expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first six months of
1998 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

      The Account also incurred expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 of $1,522,547 and $660,433, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $1,225,605 and $585,398, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $350,029 and $236,235, 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 six months
of 1998 over the first six months of 1997.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to
 Three Months Ended June 30, 1997

      The Account's total net return was 2.13% for the three months ended June
30, 1998 and 2.09% for the same period in 1997. The Account's net investment
income, after deduction of all expenses, was $18,180,455 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and $10,168,549 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a
79% increase. This increase was the result of a growing base of net assets from
June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998. Net assets increased 69% during that period. In
addition, the Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$3,107,941 and $1,895,220 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase
in unrealized appreciation of the Account's real estate assets. The Account
posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $9,181,292 and
$355,491, respectively, in the three months ended 

                                       16
<PAGE>

June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, and net unrealized losses of $6,144,677, and
net unrealized gains of $1,489,574, respectively, during the same periods,
resulting primarily from fluctuations in market value of the Account's REIT
holdings.

      The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 69% and 68% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The
remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by
investments in marketable securities.

      Gross real estate rental income was $20,002,915 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and $10,999,703 for the same period in 1997. The higher real
estate income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was due primarily to the
increase in the number of properties owned by the Account. Interest income on
the Account's short- and intermediate-term investments for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 totaled $4,007,501 and $2,742,795,
respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's
assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $2,087,297
and $832,381, respectively, for the same periods. This increase was due
primarily to the increased level of the Account's investments in REITS for the
period.

      Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998
were $6,180,130, of which $2,128,003 was attributable to real estate taxes and
$4,052,127 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 were $3,549,926, of which $1,189,347 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $2,360,579 was attributable to operating
expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three month period
ended June 30, 1998 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

      The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 of $824,282 and $377,163, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $718,609 and $319,991, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $194,237 and $159,250, respectively, for the mortality
and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses increased
as a result of the larger net asset base of the Account for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 over the three months ended June 30, 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
June 30, 1998, the Account had redeemed 837,646 accumulation units at prevailing
daily unit values, amounting to $101,002,865 in total redemption payments to
TIAA, leaving it holding 162,354 units at June 30, 1998 with a value of
$20,685,361. 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.

      For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Account received
$46,171,227 and $21,358,561, respectively, in premiums and $194,565,164 and
$195,536,495,

                                       17
<PAGE>

respectively, in net participant transfers from other TIAA and CREF accounts.
The increase in premium income is primarily due to the growing number of
participants in the Account.

      At June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its
REITs, short- and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash)
had a value of $423,876,467 and $215,172,660, respectively. The REIT holdings at
June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 were $130,329,477 and $64,776,238, respectively.
We plan to use much of the Account's liquid assets, exclusive of the REITs, to
purchase additional suitable real estate properties. The remaining liquid
assets, exclusive of the REITs, will continue to be available to meet expense
needs and redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals or transfers).

      If the Account's liquid assets and its cash flow from operating activities
and participant transactions are not sufficient to meet its cash needs,
including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase liquidity
units in accordance with TIAA's liquidity guarantee to the Account.
