STATEMENT AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 OF THE TEACHERS INSURANCE and ANNUITY ASSOCIATION of AMERICA<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

The Company did not recognize any OTTI on securities it lacked the ability to retain.<br />

(3) The following table represents loan-backed and structured securities with a recognized OTTI<br />

currently held at September 30, 2011, where the present value of cash flows expected to be<br />

collected is less than the amortized cost.<br />

See Exhibit A for detail<br />

(4) All impaired securities (fair value is less than cost or amortized cost) for which an OTTI has not been<br />

recognized in earnings as a realized loss (including securities with a recognized OTTI for non-interest<br />

related declines when a non-recognized interest related impairment remains):<br />

Continuous Unrealized<br />

Losses<br />

Fair Value of Securities with<br />

Continuous Unrealized Losses<br />

Less than 12 Months .....……... $ (200,745,541) $ 3,877,427,099<br />

12 Months or Longer .....……... $ (2,762,649,385) $ 10,046,685,567<br />

(5) The Company’s management periodically reviews the investment portfolios and identifies investments<br />

which may have deteriorated in credit quality and are candidates for impairment. The Company<br />

develops cash flows as part of its impairment review process. Where the cash flows support the<br />

recovery of the principal balance, the Company concludes that the impairment is not other-thantemporary.<br />

E. Repurchase Agreements and / or Securities Lending Transactions<br />

During 2011, the Company commenced a repurchase program to sell and repurchase securities for general<br />

corporate purposes. During periods of excess liquidity levels, proceeds from the repurchase program will be<br />

invested in short-term instruments. At September 30, 2011, the Company did not have any outstanding<br />

repurchase agreements.<br />

F. Real Estate<br />

(1) The Company did not recognize OTTI on its investments in real estate for the nine months ended<br />

September 30, 2011. The Company monitors the effects of current and expected market conditions and<br />

other factors on its real estate investments to identify and quantify any impairment in value. The Company<br />

assesses assets to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of<br />

the asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of income producing<br />

investments based on undiscounted cash flows and then reviews the results of an independent third party<br />

appraisal to determine the fair value and if an adjustment is required.<br />

(2) As of September 30, 2011, the Company has no real estate investments classified as held for sale. For<br />

the nine months period ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a net realized gain on real<br />

estate sold of $1,130,351. The gains are included in net realized capital gains/(losses) in the statutorybasis<br />

summary of operations.<br />

(3) There were no changes during the first nine months of 2011 in the Company’s plans to sell investment real<br />

estate.<br />

(4) The Company does not engage in retail land sales operations.<br />

(5) The Company does not hold real estate investments with participating mortgage loan features.<br />

G. Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”)<br />

As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not have any LIHTC.<br />

6. Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies<br />

A. The Company has no investments in Joint Ventures, Partnerships or Limited Liability Companies that exceed<br />

10% of its admitted assets.<br />

B. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized $104,284,112 of OTTI on its<br />

investments in joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies. These investments are stated at the<br />

Company’s percentage of the underlying GAAP equity. An impairment is considered to have occurred if an<br />

event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable or if<br />

there is limited ability to recover an unrealized loss. When an OTTI has been determined to have occurred, a<br />

realized loss is recorded to write the investment down to the estimated recoverable amount as determined by<br />

management.<br />
