Glenbrook Provider Variable Life


Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company               Prospectus dated May 1, 2000
3100 Sanders Road
Northbrook, IL 60062
Telephone (800) 755-5275


This  prospectus  describes the "Glenbrook  Provider  Variable Life," a modified
single  premium  variable  life  insurance  contract   ("Contract")  offered  by
Glenbrook  Life  and  Annuity  Company  ("we",   "us",  or  the  "Company")  for
prospective  insured  persons age 0-85.  The Contract  lets you, as the Contract
Owner, pay a significant single premium and, subject to restrictions, additional
premiums.


The Contracts are modified endowment  contracts for federal income tax purposes,
except in certain cases described under "Federal Tax Matters," page 21. You will
be taxed on any loan,  distribution  or other amount you receive from a modified
endowment  contract  during  the  life  of  the  insured  to the  extent  of any
accumulated income in the contract.  Any amounts that are taxable  distributions
will be subject to a 10% penalty, with certain exceptions.


The minimum initial premium we will accept is $10,000.  We allocate  premiums to
Glenbrook  Life  Variable  Life  Separate  Account A ("Variable  Account").  The
Variable  Account will invest in shares of one or more mutual  funds  ("Funds"),
each of which has  multiple  investment  portfolios  ("Portfolios").  All of the
Funds which are  described in this  prospectus  may not be  available  with your
Contract.  Presently,  the Variable  Account  invests in shares of the following
Funds:

o        AIM Variable Insurance Funds
o        American Century Variable Portfolios (VP), Inc.
o        The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc.
o        Dreyfus Stock Index Fund
o        Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund  (VIF)
o        Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
o        MFS(R) Variable Insurance Trust(SM)

There is no guaranteed  minimum Account Value for a Contract.  The Account Value
of your  Contract will vary up or down to reflect the  investment  experience of
the Variable  Sub-Accounts  to which you have allocated  premiums.  You bear the
investment risk for all amounts so allocated.  The Contract  continues in effect
so long as its Cash  Surrender  Value is sufficient  to pay the monthly  charges
under the Contract ("Monthly Deduction Amount").

The  Contracts  provide for an Initial  Death Benefit shown on the Contract Data
Page.  The death  benefit  ("Death  Benefit")  payable  under a Contract  may be
greater than the Initial Death Benefit but, so long as the Contract continues in
effect and if no  withdrawals  are made,  it will never be less than the Initial
Death Benefit. The Account Value will, and under certain circumstances the Death
Benefit of the  Contract  may,  increase  or  decrease  based on the  investment
experience of the Portfolios to which you have allocated premiums.  At the death
of the Insured, we will pay Death Benefit proceeds to the beneficiary.

It may not be to your advantage to purchase  variable life insurance either as a
replacement  for your  current  life  insurance or if you already own a variable
life insurance contract.

                  The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  has not approved or
                  disapproved the securities  described in this prospectus,  nor
                  has  it  passed   upon  the   accuracy  or  adequacy  of  this
                  prospectus.  Anyone who tells you  otherwise  is  committing a
                  federal crime.
IMPORTANT
NOTICES
                  The contracts may be distributed  through  broker-dealers that
                  have relationships with banks or other financial  institutions
                  or by employees of such banks.  However, the contracts are not
                  deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by such institutions
                  or any federal regulatory agency.  Investment in the contracts
                  involves   investment  risks,   including   possible  loss  of
                  principal.

                  The Contracts are not FDIC insured.

SUMMARY




THE CONTRACT
The Contracts are life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values, and
other  traditional  life  insurance   features.   However,   the  Contracts  are
"variable."  Unlike the fixed  benefits of ordinary  whole life  insurance,  the
Account Value will increase or decrease  based on the  investment  experience of
the Portfolios of the Funds to which you as the Contract  Owner,  have allocated
premiums.  Similarly,  the Death  Benefit may  increase  or decrease  under some
circumstances.  Nevertheless,  so long as the  Contract  remains in effect,  the
Death  Benefit  will  not  decrease  below  the  Initial  Death  Benefit  if  no
withdrawals are made. We credit the Contracts with units ("Accumulation  Units")
to calculate cash values. You may transfer your Account Value among the Variable
Sub-Accounts.


We can issue the Contracts on either a single life or a "last  survivor"  basis.
For a discussion of how last survivor Contracts operate  differently from single
life Contracts, see "Access to Your Money-Last Survivor Contracts," page 19.

In some states, we issue the Contracts in the form of a group contract. In those
states,  we will issue you a certificate  evidencing your rights under the group
Contract.  In certain states, we issue certificates under group Contracts issued
to the Financial  Services Group Insurance  Trust, an Illinois Trust.  The terms
"Contract"  and  "Contract  Owner",  as used in this  Prospectus,  refer  to and
include such a certificate and certificate owner, respectively.


THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS
The Variable Account funds the variable life insurance Contracts offered by this
prospectus.  The Variable  Account is a unit investment trust registered as such
with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  ("SEC")  under the  Investment

investing in a corresponding Portfolio.

         The FIDELITY FUNDS have four available Portfolios:


         Fidelity VIP Contrafund
         Fidelity VIP Equity-Income
         Fidelity VIP Growth
         Fidelity VIP High Income



         The MFS FUND has two available Portfolios:

         MFS Emerging Growth Series
         MFS Limited Maturity Series*


* Note:  As of May 1, 1999,  the MFS Limited  Maturity  Series was closed to new
investments, including additions and transfers.


The  assets  of each  Portfolio  are  accounted  for  separately  from the other
Portfolios.  Each has distinct  investment  objectives  and policies,  which the
accompanying prospectuses for the Funds describe.

PREMIUMS
The Contract requires you to pay an initial premium of at least $10,000. You may
make  additional  premium  payments  at  any  time,  subject  to  the  following
conditions:

     o    only one payment is allowed in any Contract Year;

     o    the minimum payment is $500;

     o    the attained age of the Insured must be less than 86; and

     o    absent submission of new evidence of insurability of the Insured,  the
          maximum  additional  payment  permitted  in a  Contract  Year  is  the
          "Guaranteed  Additional Payment." The Guaranteed Additional Payment is
          the lesser of (1) $5,000,  or (2) a percentage of the initial  payment
          (5% for  attained  ages  40-70,  and 0% for  attained  ages  20-39 and
          71-80).

Additional  premium payments may require an increase in the "Specified  Amount",
in order for the  Contract  to  continue to meet  requirements  of the  Internal
Revenue Code. The Specified Amount is the guaranteed minimum death benefit under
a Contract. We reserve the right to obtain satisfactory evidence of insurability
before  accepting  any  additional  premium  payments  requiring  an increase in
Specified  Amount.  However,  we also reserve the right to reject an  additional
premium payment for any reason.  You may make additional premium payments at any
time and in any amount necessary to avoid termination of the Contract.

DEATH BENEFIT
At the death of the  Insured  while the  Contract  is in force,  we will pay the
Death  Benefit  (less any  Indebtedness  and due and  unpaid  Monthly  Deduction
Amounts) to the  beneficiary.  The Death  Benefit  determined on the date of the
Insured's death is the greater of (1) the Specified  Amount,  or (2) the Account
Value  multiplied  by the  Death  Benefit  ratio as found in the  Contract.  See
"Contract Benefits and Rights - Death Benefit," page 15.

ACCOUNT VALUE
The Account  Value of your Contract will increase or decrease to reflect (1) the
investment  experience of the Portfolios underlying the Variable Sub-Accounts to
which you have  allocated  Account  Value;  (2)  interest  credited  to the Loan
Account;  and (3)  deductions  for the  mortality  and expense risk charge,  the
Monthly  Deduction Amount,  and the annual  maintenance fee. There is no minimum
guaranteed  Account  Value;  you bear the risk of the investment in the Variable
Sub-Accounts. See "Contract Benefits and Rights - Account Value," page 16.

CONTRACT LOANS
You may obtain one or both of two types of cash  loans  from the  Company.  Both
types of loans are secured by your Contract.  The maximum  amount  available for
these loans is 90% of the Contract's Cash Value, less the sum of:

     o    the  amount  of all  loans  existing  on the date of the loan  request
          (including loan interest to the next Contract Anniversary),

     o    any  annual  maintenance  fee  due  on or  before  the  next  Contract
          Anniversary, and

     o    any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction Amounts.

See "Access to Your Money - Contract Loans," page 17.

LAPSE
Under certain circumstances a Contract may terminate if the Cash Surrender Value
on any Monthly Activity Date is less than the required Monthly Deduction Amount.
If that  happens,  we will give you (1)  written  notice  and (2) a 61 day grace
period during which you may pay additional amounts to continue the Contract. See
"Assess to Your Money - Contract Loans," page 17 and "Lapse and  Reinstatement,"
page 18.


CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
You have a limited right to return your Contract for cancellation.  The right to
return exists during what we call the  "cancellation  period." The  cancellation
period  is a number  of days  (which  varies  by  state)  as  specified  in your
contract. If you choose to return the Contract for cancellation,  we may require
that you return it to us within the cancellation  period  following  delivery of
the Contract to you. The Company will return to you within 7 days thereafter the
premiums paid for the Contract  adjusted to reflect any investment  gain or loss
resulting  from  allocation  to  the  Variable  Account  prior  to the  date  of
cancellation,  unless  state law  requires  a return  of  premium  without  such
adjustments.  In those  states  where the  Company  is  required  to return  the
premiums  paid upon a  cancellation  of the Contract,  the Company  reserves the
right to  allocate  all premium  payments  made prior to the  expiration  of the
cancellation period to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account,  if that procedure
has been approved by the state.


In  addition,  once the  Contract  is in effect you may be able to  exchange  it
during the first 24 months after its issuance for a non-variable  permanent life
insurance  contract  on the  life of the  Insured  without  submitting  proof of
insurability.  We reserve  the right to make such a contract  available  that is
offered by the  Company's  parent or any other  affiliate  of the  company.  See
"Access to Your Money - Cancellation and Exchange Rights," page 18.


TAX CONSEQUENCES
The current Federal tax law generally  excludes all Death Benefit  payments from
the gross income of the Contract  beneficiary.  The Contracts  generally will be
treated  as  modified  endowment  contracts.  This  status  does not  affect the
Contracts' classification as life insurance, nor does it affect the exclusion of
Death Benefit payments from gross income. However, loans, distributions or other
amounts  received  under a modified  endowment  contract  prior to the Insured's
death are taxed to the extent of accumulated income in the Contract  (generally,
the excess of  Account  Value  over  premiums  paid) and may be subject to a 10%
penalty tax. See "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.


PERSONALIZED ILLUSTRATIONS
The  Company  will  furnish,  upon  request  and at no  charge,  a  personalized
illustration  reflecting  the proposed  Insured's  age,  sex,  and  underwriting
classification.  Where applicable, the Company will also furnish upon request an
illustration  for a Contract  that is not  affected  by the sex of the  Insured.
These illustrations will be based, as appropriate, on the methodology and format
of  the  hypothetical  illustrations  that  the  Company  has  included  in  its
registration  statement  filed with the SEC for the Contracts.  See  "Additional
Information  About the Company - Registration  Statement,"  page 25, for further
information.


FEES AND EXPENSES
The following  tables are designed to help you  understand  the various fees and
expenses that you will incur,  directly or indirectly,  as a Contract owner. The
first table describes the Contract charges and deductions you will directly bear
under the  Contracts.  The second table  describes  the fees and expenses of the
Portfolios  you will  indirectly  bear  when you  invest in the  Contracts.  For
further information, see "Deductions and Charges" on page 12.

(1)      Except for the maximum or "guaranteed" cost of insurance charge,  which
         is  expressed as a range of monthly  costs per thousand  dollars of net
         amount at risk.  The net amount at risk is the  difference  between the
         Death  Benefit and the Account  Value.  See  "Deductions  and Charges -
         Monthly Deductions - Cost of Insurance Charge," page 12.

(2)      The actual amount of insurance  purchased  will depend on the insured's
         age, sex (where  permitted) and rate class. See "Deductions and Charges
         - Monthly  Deductions - Cost of Insurance Charge," page 12. The current
         cost of  insurance  charge  under the  Contracts  will never exceed the
         guaranteed cost of insurance charge shown in your Contract.

(3)      This charge  includes a premium tax  deduction of 0.25%,  and a federal
         tax deduction of 0.15%,  of Account  Value.  We assess this charge only
         during  the  first 10  Contract  Years.  See  "Deductions  and  Charges
         -Monthly Deductions -Tax Expense Charge," page 13.

(4)      The Company does not currently assess a charge for federal income taxes
         that may be  attributable  to the  operations of the Variable  Account,
         although  it may do so in the  future.  See  "Deductions  and Charges -
         Other Deductions -Taxes Charged Against the Variable Account," page 13.

(5)      We waive this fee if total premiums paid are $50,000 or more.

(6)      We do not impose this charge on the first 12  transfers in any Contract
         Year.  The Company  reserves  the right to assess a $10 charge for each
         transfer in excess of 12 in any Contract Year,  excluding transfers due
         to dollar cost averaging.

(7)      This charge applies only upon  withdrawals of the initial  premium paid
         at the time of Contract purchase, and it only applies to withdrawals in
         excess of the Free Withdrawal  Amount. It does not apply to withdrawals
         of any additional payments paid under a Contract. The withdrawal charge
         declines  to 0% over ten years.  We impose it to cover a portion of the
         sales expense we incur in distributing  the Contracts.  See "Deductions
         and Charges - Other  Deductions  -Withdrawal  Charge," page 14. We will
         not impose a  withdrawal  charge on any  withdrawal  to the extent that
         aggregate  withdrawal  charges  and the  federal tax portion of the tax
         expense charge imposed would otherwise exceed 9% of total premiums paid
         prior to the  withdrawal.  See  "Deductions  and Charges,"  page 12 and
         "Withdrawal Charge," page 14.

(8)      This charge applies only upon  withdrawals of the initial  premium paid
         at the time of Contract  purchase.  It does not apply to withdrawals of
         any additional  payments paid under a Contract.  The charge for due and
         unpaid premium tax declines to 0% over ten years and is imposed on full
         or partial withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount.

     a  result  of  uninvested  cash  balances  were  used to  reduce  custodian
     expenses. Including these reductions, total annual expenses would have been
     0.65% for Contrafund  Portfolio,  0.56% for  Equity-Income  Portfolio,  and
     0.65% for Growth Portfolio

3.   This series has an expense  offset  arrangement  which  reduces the series'
     custodian  fee based upon the amount of cash  maintained by the series with
     its  custodian  and dividend  disbursing  agent.  The series may enter into
     other such arrangements and directed  brokerage  arrangements,  which would
     also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses.  "Other Expenses" do
     not take into account these expense  reductions,  and are therefore  higher
     than the actual expenses of the series. Had these fee reductions been taken
     into account,  "Total  Portfolio  Annual  Expenses" would be lower for this
     series and would equal: 0.83% for Emerging Growth Series.

4.   MFS has contractually  agreed,  subject to reimbursement,  to bear expenses
     for this series such that the series' "Other  Expenses"  (after taking into
     account the expense offset  arrangement  described in note 4 above), do not
     exceed  0.45% of the  average  daily net  assets of the  series  during the
     current fiscal year. These contractual fee arrangements will continue until
     at least May 1,  2001,  unless  changed  with the  consent  of the board of
     trustees which oversees the series.  Absent such expense  limitations,  the
     total annual expenses of the series would have been 2.48%.

The Company


The Company is the issuer of the Contract.  It is a stock life insurance company
organized in 1998 under the laws of the State of Arizona. Previously,  Glenbrook
was organized  under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1992.  The Company was
originally  organized  under the laws of Indiana in 1965. From 1965 to 1983, the
Company was known as "United  Standard Life Assurance  Company" and from 1983 to
1992, the Company was known as "William Penn Life Assurance Company of America."
The Company is licensed  to operate in the  District of Columbia  and all states
except  New  York.  The  Company   intends  to  market  the  Contract  in  those
jurisdictions in which it is licensed to operate. The Company's headquarters are
located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.


The Company is a wholly owned  subsidiary  of Allstate  Life  Insurance  Company
("Allstate Life"), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Illinois.  Allstate  Life is a wholly owned  subsidiary of Allstate
Insurance Company  ("Allstate"),  a stock  property-liability  insurance company
incorporated  under the laws of the State of  Illinois.  All of the  outstanding
capital   stock  of  Allstate  is  owned  by  The  Allstate   Corporation   (the
"Corporation").

Glenbrook and Allstate Life entered into a reinsurance  agreement effective June
5, 1992. Under the reinsurance agreement,  Allstate Life reinsures substantially
all of Glenbrook's  liabilities under its life insurance and annuity  contracts.
The reinsurance agreement provides us with financial backing from Allstate Life.
However, it does not create a direct contractual  relationship  between Allstate
Life and you.  In other  words,  the  obligations  of  Allstate  Life  under the
reinsurance agreement are to Glenbrook; Glenbrook remains the sole obligor under
the Contract to you.

*As of May 1, 1999, not available for new investments,  including  additions and
transfers.

Variable  insurance  trust  portfolios  may not be managed by the same portfolio
managers who manage retail mutual funds with similar names. These portfolios are
likely to differ  from  retail  funds in  assets,  cash flow,  and tax  matters.
Accordingly,  the holdings and investment results of a portfolio can be expected
to be higher or lower than the investment results of retail mutual funds.


MFS manages each Series  pursuant to an Investment  Advisory  Agreement with the
Trust on  behalf  of each  Portfolio.  MFS  provides  the  Series  with  overall
investment  advisory  and  administrative  services,  as well as general  office
facilities.  Its  principal  place of business is 500 Boylston  Street,  Boston,
Massachusetts 02116.

Shares  of the Funds are not  deposits  or  obligations  of,  or  guaranteed  or
endorsed  by, any bank and the shares are not  federally  insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency.

All  dividends  and  capital  gains   distributions   from  the  Portfolios  are
automatically  reinvested in shares of the  distributing  Portfolio at their net
asset value.

There is no assurance that the Portfolios  will attain their  respective  stated
objectives.  Additional  information  concerning the  investment  objectives and
policies  of the  Portfolios  can be found in the current  prospectuses  for the
Funds.  The  investment  objectives of the AIM Variable  Insurance  Funds may be
changed by the Funds' Board of Trustees without shareholder vote.

You will find more  complete  information  about the  Portfolios,  including the
risks  associated with each Portfolio,  in the Funds'  prospectuses.  You should
read the prospectuses for the Funds in conjunction with this prospectus.

YOU SHOULD READ THE FUND  PROSPECTUSES  CAREFULLY  BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY  DECISION
CONCERNING  THE  ALLOCATION  OF  PURCHASE  PAYMENTS  TO  A  PARTICULAR  VARIABLE
SUB-ACCOUNT.




It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable life
insurance  separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
a Fund simultaneously.  Although neither the Company nor any such Fund currently
foresees any such  disadvantages  either to variable life  insurance or variable
annuity contract owners,  the Company has been advised that each Fund's Board of
Directors  or  Trustees  intends  to  monitor  events in order to  identify  any
material  conflicts  between  variable life and variable annuity contract owners
and to determine what action,  if any, should be taken in response  thereto.  If
the Board of Directors or Trustees were to conclude  that separate  funds should
be established for variable life and variable  annuity  separate  accounts,  the
Company may be required to bear the attendant expenses.


We reinvest all investment  income of and other  distributions  to each Variable
Sub-Account arising from the corresponding Portfolio in shares of that Portfolio
at net asset value.  The income and both realized and unrealized gains or losses
on the  assets of each  Variable  Sub-Account  are  therefore  separate  and are
credited  to or charged  against  the  Variable  Sub-Account  without  regard to
income,  gains or losses from any other  Variable  Sub-Account or from any other
business of the Company. We will purchase shares in the Funds in connection with
premiums allocated to the corresponding  Variable Sub-Account in accordance with
Contract Owners' directions. We will redeem shares in the Funds to meet Contract
obligations or make adjustments in reserves, if any.


The Company  reserves the right,  subject to compliance  with the law as then in
effect,  to make additions to,  deletions  from, or  substitutions  for the Fund
shares  underlying  the  Variable  Sub-Accounts.  If  shares of any of the Funds
should no longer be  available  for  investment,  or if, in the  judgment of the
Company's  management,  further  investment  in shares of any Fund should become
inappropriate in view of the purposes of the Contracts, we may substitute shares
of another Fund for shares already purchased,  or to be purchased in the future,
under the Contracts.  We will not make any such  substitution  without notice to
Contract  Owners and  without  prior  approval  of the SEC (to the  extent  such
approval is required by the 1940 Act).


We  reserve  the right to  establish  additional  Variable  Sub-accounts  of the
Variable Account,  each of which would invest in shares of another Fund. Subject
to Contract  Owner  approval,  the Company  also  reserves  the right to end the
registration  under the 1940 Act of the Variable  Account or any other  separate
accounts of which it is the  depositor or to operate the  Variable  Account as a
management company under the 1940 Act.

Each Fund is subject to certain  investment  restrictions and policies which may
not be changed  without the  approval of a majority of the  shareholders  of the
Fund. See the prospectuses for the Funds for further information.

The Contract



APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
Individuals  wishing to purchase a Contract  must submit an  application  to the
Company.  We will issue a Contract  only on the lives of  Insureds  age 0-85 who
supply  evidence of  insurability  satisfactory  to the Company.  Acceptance  is
subject to the Company's  underwriting rules, and we reserve the right to reject
an  application  for any lawful reason.  If we do not issue a Contract,  we will
return the  premium.  We will not change the terms or  conditions  of a Contract
without the consent of the Contract Owner.

Once we have  received the initial  premium and approved  underwriting,  we will
issue the Contract on the date we receive the final  requirement  for issue.  In
the case of simplified underwriting, we will issue the Contract or deny coverage
within 3 business  days of our receipt of premium.  The Insured  will be covered
under the Contract,  however,  as of the Contract Date.  Since the Contract Date
will  generally  be the date we receive the initial  premium,  coverage  under a
Contract may begin before we issue it. In addition to determining  when coverage
begins,  the Contract Date determines  Monthly Activity Dates,  Contract months,
and Contract Years.

If the  initial  premium  is over the  limits  we  establish  from  time to time
($1,000,000 as of the date of this  Prospectus),  we will not accept the initial
payment  with the  application.  In other  cases  where we receive  the  initial
payment with the application, we will provide fixed conditional insurance during
the  underwriting  period according to the terms of a conditional  receipt.  The
fixed  conditional  insurance will be the insurance applied for, up to a maximum
that varies by age.

PREMIUMS
The Contract is designed to require a substantial  initial  premium payment and,
subject  to certain  conditions,  to permit  additional  premium  payments.  The
initial  premium  payment  purchases  a Death  Benefit  initially  equal  to the
Contract's Specified Amount. The minimum initial payment is $10,000.

Under current underwriting rules, which are subject to change, proposed Insureds
are eligible for simplified  underwriting without a medical examination if their
application responses and initial premium payments meet simplified  underwriting
standards.  Customary  underwriting  standards  will apply to all other proposed
Insureds.  The maximum  initial  premium  currently  permitted  on a  simplified
underwriting  basis  varies with the issue age of the insured  according  to the
following table:

                    Simplified Underwriting

Issue Age                                     Maximum Initial Premium
- ---------                                     -----------------------
0-34..........................................     Not available
35-44.........................................        $15,000
45-54.........................................        $30,000
55-64.........................................        $50,000
65-80.........................................       $100,000
Over age 80...................................     Not available

     Additional  premium  payments  may be  made  at any  time,  subject  to the
     following conditions:

     o    only one additional premium payment may be made in any Contract Year;

     o    each additional premium payment must be at least $500;

     o    the attained age of the Insured must be less than 86; and

     o    absent submission of new evidence of insurability of the Insured,  the
          maximum  additional  payment  permitted  in a  Contract  Year  is  the
          "Guaranteed  Additional Payment." The Guaranteed Additional Payment is
          the lesser of (1) $5,000,  or (2) a percentage of the initial  payment
          (5% for  attained  ages  40-70,  and 0% for  attained  ages  20-39 and
          71-85).

Additional premium payments may require an increase in Specified Amount in order
for the Contract to remain within the  definition of a life  insurance  contract
under the Code. The Company reserves the right to obtain  satisfactory  evidence
of insurability  upon any additional  premium payments  requiring an increase in
Specified Amount. However, we reserve the right to reject any additional premium
payment for any reason.

Unless you request otherwise in writing, we will apply any additional payment we
receive while a Contract loan exists first to reduce  Indebtedness,  and second,
as an additional premium payment, subject to the conditions described above.

You may pay additional premiums at any time and in any amount necessary to avoid
termination of the Contract without evidence of insurability.


ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
Upon  completion of  underwriting,  we will either (1) issue a Contract,  or (2)
deny coverage and return all premiums.  If we issue a Contract, we will allocate
the initial  premium  payment,  plus an amount equal to the interest  that would
have been  earned had the initial  premium  been  invested  in the Money  Market
Variable Sub-Account since the date of receipt of the premium,  according to the
initial premium allocation  instructions  specified on the application.  We will
make this  allocation  on the date the  Contract is issued.  In the future,  the
Company  may  allocate  the  initial   premium  to  the  Money  Market  Variable
Sub-Account  during the  cancellation  period,  in those  states where state law
requires premiums to be returned upon exercise of the free-look right.


ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
The Accumulation  Unit Value for each Variable  Sub-Account will vary to reflect
the  investment  experience of the  corresponding  Portfolio.  We will determine
those values on each Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit Value of
the particular  Variable  Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by the "Net
Investment Factor" for that Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The
Net  Investment  Factor for each  Variable  Sub-Account  is  determined by first
dividing (A) the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at the
end of the current  Valuation  Period  (plus the per share  dividends or capital
gains  distributed  by that  Portfolio  if the  ex-dividend  date  occurs in the
Valuation  Period  then  ended),  by (B) the net  asset  value  per share of the
corresponding  Portfolio  at  the  end of the  immediately  preceding  Valuation
Period. We then subtract from the result an amount equal to the daily deductions
for mortality and expense risk charges imposed during the Valuation Period.  You
should  refer  to the  prospectuses  for the  Portfolios  which  accompany  this
prospectus  for a  description  of how the assets of each  Portfolio are valued,
because that  determination  has a direct bearing on the Accumulation Unit Value
of the corresponding Variable Sub-Account (and therefore on your Account Value).
See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 16.


We make all  valuations in connection  with a Contract,  (e.g.,  with respect to
determining   Account  Value  and  Cash  Surrender  Value  or  with  respect  to
determining the number of  Accumulation  Units to be credited to a Contract with
each premium,  other than the initial premium and additional  premiums requiring
underwriting),  on the date the  request or payment is received in good order by
the Company at its home office. However, if such date is not a Valuation Day, we
will make the determination on the next succeeding date that is a Valuation Day.

Specialized  Uses  of  the  Contract:  Because  the  Contract  provides  for  an
accumulation of cash value as well as a death benefit,  you can use the Contract
for various individual and business financial planning purposes.  Purchasing the
Contract in part for such purposes  entails certain risks.  For example,  if the
investment  performance  of  Variable  Sub-Accounts  to which  Account  Value is
allocated is poorer than  expected or if sufficient  premiums are not paid,  the
Contract may lapse or may not  accumulate  sufficient  Account Value to fund the
purpose for which the Contract was purchased. Withdrawals and Contract loans may
significantly  affect current and future Account Value, Cash Surrender Value, or
Death  Benefit  proceeds.   Depending  upon  Variable   Sub-Account   investment
performance  and the amount of a Contract loan, the loan may cause a Contract to
lapse.  Because the  Contract  is  designed  to provide  benefits on a long-term
basis,  before  purchasing  a  Contract  for a  specialized  purpose  you should
consider  whether the long-term  nature of the Contract is  consistent  with the
purpose for which you are  considering  it. Using a Contract  for a  specialized
purpose may have tax consequences. (See "Federal Tax Matters," Page 21.)

Deductions and Charges



MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
On each Monthly  Activity Date  including the Contract Date, we will deduct from
the Account  Value  attributable  to the  Variable  Account an amount  ("Monthly
Deduction  Amount") to cover charges and expenses  incurred in connection with a
Contract.  We will  deduct a portion of the Monthly  Deduction  Amount from each
Variable Sub-Account proportion to your Account Value allocated to that Variable
Sub-Account.  The Monthly Deduction Amount will vary from month to month. If the
Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover a Monthly  Deduction  Amount due
on any Monthly  Activity Date, the Contract may lapse. See "Access to Your Money
- -  Contract  Benefits  and  Rights - Lapse  and  Reinstatement,"  page  18.  The
following is a summary of the monthly  deductions  and charges which  constitute
the Monthly Deduction Amount:

Cost of Insurance  Charge:  The cost of insurance  charge  covers the  Company's
anticipated  mortality  costs for  standard and special  risks.  Current cost of
insurance  rates are lower after the 10th Contract  Year.  However,  the current
cost of insurance charge, which we impose by deducting a specified percentage of
your Account  Value,  will not exceed the guaranteed  cost of insurance  charge.
This  guaranteed  charge is the maximum  annual cost of insurance  per $1,000 as
indicated  in the  Contract;  multiplied  by the  difference  between  the Death
Benefit and the Account Value (both as determined on the Monthly Activity Date);
divided by $1,000; and divided by 12. For standard risks, the guaranteed cost of
insurance rate is based on the 1980  Commissioners  Standard Ordinary  Mortality
Table, age last birthday. (Unisex rates may be required in some states). A table
of guaranteed cost of insurance charges per $1,000 is included in each Contract;
however,  the Company  reserves  the right to use rates less than those shown in
the table.  We will assess special risks at a higher cost of insurance rate that
will,  however,  not exceed rates based on a multiple of the 1980  Commissioners
Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, age last birthday. The multiple will be based
on the Insured's substandard rating.

The  maximum  guaranteed  cost of  insurance  charge  rates are  applied  to the
difference between the Death Benefit determined on the Monthly Activity Date and
the Account  Value on that same date prior to  assessing  the Monthly  Deduction
Amount,  because that  difference  is the amount for which we are at risk should
the Death Benefit be then payable. The Death Benefit as computed on a given date
is the  greater of (1) the  Specified  Amount on that date,  and (2) the Account
Value on that date  multiplied by the applicable  Death Benefit  ratio.  (For an
explanation  of the Death  Benefit,  see "Contract  Benefits and Rights" on page
15.)

         Example:
Specified Amount                            =   $100,000
Account Value on the Monthly                =   $30,000
Activity Date
Insured's attained age                      =   45
Death Benefit ratio for age 45              =   2.15


On the Monthly Activity Date in this example, the Death Benefit as then computed
would be $100,000,  because the Specified Amount  ($100,000) is greater than the
Account Value multiplied by the applicable Death Benefit ratio ($30,000 X 2.15 =
$64,500).  Since the  Account  Value on that  date is  $30,000,  the  guaranteed
maximum cost of insurance  charges per $1,000 would be applied to the difference
($100,000 - $30,000 = $70,000).

Assume  that the  Account  Value in the above  example  was  $50,000.  The Death
Benefit would then be $107,500 (2.15 X $50,000),  since this is greater than the
Specified  Amount  ($100,000).  The maximum cost of insurance rates in that case
would be applied to ($107,500 - $50,000) = $57,500.

The level of Specified  Amount that an initial  premium will  purchase will vary
based on age and sex. For example,  a $10,000  initial premium paid by a male at
age 45 would result in a specified amount of $39,998.  If a female age 65 paid a
$10,000 premium, the specified amount would be equal to $22,749.

Because the Account Value (and, as a result, the amount for which we are at risk
under a Contract) may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may
also vary on each Monthly Activity Date.  However,  once we have assigned a risk
rating class to an Insured  when the Contract is issued,  that rating class will
not change if additional  premium  payments or partial  withdrawals  increase or
decrease the Specified Amount.

Tax Expense Charge:  We will deduct monthly from the Account Value a tax expense
charge  equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract  Years.
This charge compensates us for premium taxes imposed by various states and local
jurisdictions and for federal taxes related to our receipt of premiums under the
Contract. The charge includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal tax
deduction of 0.15%.  The 0.25%  premium tax  deduction  over ten Contract  Years
approximates  the Company's  average  expenses for state and local premium taxes
(2.5%). Premium taxes vary, ranging from zero to 3.5%. We impose the premium tax
deduction regardless of a Contract Owner's state of residence and, therefore, we
assess it whether or not any premium tax applies. The deduction may be higher or
lower than any premium tax your state imposes. However, we do not expect to make
a profit from this deduction. The 0.15% federal tax deduction helps reimburse us
for  approximate  expenses  we  incur  for  federal  taxes  resulting  from  the
application of Section 848 of the Code.

Administrative Expense Charge: We will deduct monthly from your Account Value an
administrative expense charge equivalent to an annual rate of 0.25%. This charge
compensates us for administrative expenses we incur in our administration of the
Variable Account and the Contracts.


We take all monthly  deductions by canceling  Accumulation Units of the Variable
Account under your Contract.


OTHER DEDUCTIONS

Mortality  and Expense Risk Charge:  We will deduct from the Variable  Account a
daily charge  equivalent to an annual rate of 0.90% for the mortality  risks and
expense risks we assume in relation to the Contracts. The mortality risk assumed
includes the risk that the cost of insurance  charges  specified in the Contract
will be  insufficient  to meet  claims.  We also  assume a risk  that the  Death
Benefit  will  exceed the  amount on which the cost of  insurance  charges  were
based, because that determination is made on the Monthly Activity Date preceding
the death of an Insured. The expense risk we assume is that expenses we incur in
issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the  administrative  charges
set in the Contract.

Annual  Maintenance  Fee: If the aggregate  premiums paid on a Contract are less
than $50,000,  we will deduct from your Account Value an annual  maintenance fee
of $35 on  each  Contract  Anniversary.  This  fee  helps  reimburse  us for our
administrative and maintenance costs relating to the Contracts.


Taxes Charged Against the Variable Account:  Currently, we make no charge to the
Variable  Account  for  federal  income  taxes that may be  attributable  to the
operations of the Variable Account (as opposed to the federal tax related to the
receipt of premiums under the Contract).  We may, however,  impose such a charge
in the future. We may also assess charges for other taxes, if any,  attributable
to the Variable Account or this class of Contracts.


Charges Against the Funds: The Variable Account purchases shares of the Funds at
net asset value.  The net asset value of the Fund shares reflect Fund investment
management  fees  already  deducted  from  the  assets  of the  Funds.  The Fund
investment  management  fees are a percentage  of the average daily value of the
net assets of the Portfolios. See the "Fund Fees and Expenses" table on page 6.


Withdrawal  Charge:  We may assess as  withdrawal  charge upon  surrender of the
Contract and partial  withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal  Amount.  The
Free  Withdrawal  Amount in any Contract Year is 15% of total premiums paid. Any
Free  Withdrawal  Amount not taken in a Contract Year may not be carried forward
to increase the Free Withdrawal  Amount in any subsequent  year.  Withdrawals in
excess of the Free Withdrawal  Amount will be subject to a withdrawal  charge as
set forth in the table below:


                    Percentage of Initial

Contract Year                                Premium Withdrawn
- -------------                                -----------------
1                                                  7.75%
2                                                  7.75%
3                                                  7.75%
4                                                  7.25%
5                                                  6.25%
6                                                  5.25%
7                                                  4.25%
8                                                  3.25%
9                                                  2.25%
10+                                                0.00%


After  the  ninth  Contract  Year,  we will  impose no  withdrawal  charges.  In
addition,  we will not impose a withdrawal  charge to the extent that  aggregate
withdrawal charges and the federal tax portion of the tax expense charge imposed
would otherwise  exceed 9% of total premiums paid prior to the  withdrawal.  The
withdrawal  charge may be waived under certain  circumstances  if the Insured is
confined to a qualified long-term care facility or hospital. See "Access to Your
Money - Confinement Waiver Benefit" on page __.

We impose the  withdrawal  charge to cover a portion of the  expense we incur in
distributing  the  Contracts.   This  expense   includes  agents'   commissions,
underwriting, and the costs associated with establishing policies.


Due and Unpaid  Premium  Tax Charge:  During the first nine  Contract  Years,  a
charge  for due and  unpaid  premium  tax  will be  imposed  on full or  partial
withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount. This charge is shown below,
as a percent of the Account Value withdrawn:

                      Percentage of Initial

10+                                                  0.00%

After the ninth Contract Year, no due and unpaid premium tax charge applies.  We
guarantee that the percentages indicated above will not increase.

Contract Benefits and Rights



DEATH BENEFIT
The  Contracts  provide for the payment of Death  Benefit  proceeds to the named
beneficiary  when the Insured under the Contract dies.  The proceeds  payable to
the beneficiary equal the Death Benefit less the sum of:

     o    any Indebtedness, and

     o    any due and unpaid Monthly  Deduction Amounts occurring during a Grace
          Period (if applicable).


The Death  Benefit  equals the greater of (1) the Specified  Amount,  or (2) the
Account Value  multiplied by the Death Benefit  ratio.  The Death Benefit ratios
vary  according  to the  attained  age of the Insured and are  specified  in the
Contract.  Therefore,  an increase in Account Value due to favorable  investment
experience  may increase the Death  Benefit above the  Specified  Amount;  and a
decrease in Account Value due to unfavorable  investment experience may decrease
the Death Benefit (but not below the Specified Amount).

Examples:
                                               A            B
                                               -            -
Specified Amount:                             $100,000     $100,000
Insured's Age:                                      45           45
Account Value on Date of Death:                $48,000      $34,000
Death Benefit Ratio                               2.15         2.15

In Example A, the Death Benefit equals  $103,200,  i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the  Specified  Amount) and $103,200 (the Account Value at the Date of Death of
$48,000,  multiplied by the Death Benefit ratio of 2.15). This amount,  less any
Indebtedness  and due and unpaid  Monthly  Deduction  Amounts,  constitutes  the
proceeds which we would pay to the beneficiary.

In Example B, the Death Benefit is $100,000,  i.e., the greater of $100,000 (the
Specified  Amount) and $73,100 (the Account  Value of $34,000  multiplied by the
Death Benefit ratio of 2.15).

The  beneficiary  may (1) take all or part of the proceeds in cash, or (2) apply
the proceeds to an Income Plan. See "Payment Options," page 18.

ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
If the Insured  becomes  terminally  ill, you may request an  accelerated  Death
Benefit in an amount up to the lesser of (1) 50% of the Specified  Amount on the
day we receive the request,  and (2)  $250,000  for all  policies  issued by the
Company  that cover the Insured.  "Terminally  ill" means an illness or physical
condition of the Insured that,  notwithstanding  appropriate  medical care, will
result in a life  expectancy  of 12 months or less. If the Insured is terminally
ill as the result of an illness,  the accelerated Death Benefit is not available
unless  the  illness  occurred  at least 30 days  after the issue  date.  If the
Insured is terminally ill as the result of an accident,  the  accelerated  Death
Benefit is available if the accident  occurred after the issue date. The minimum
amount of Death Benefit we will accelerate is $10,000.

We will pay benefits due under the  accelerated  Death  Benefit  provision  upon
receipt  of a written  request  from the  Contract  Owner and due proof that the
Insured has been  diagnosed  as  terminally  ill.  We also  reserve the right to
require  supporting  documentation  of the  diagnosis  and to  require  (at  our
expense) an  examination  of the Insured by a physician of our choice to confirm
the  diagnosis.  The amount of the payment  will be the amount  requested by the
Contract Owner, reduced by the sum of:

     o    a 12 month interest discount to reflect the early payment;

     o    an administrative fee (not to exceed $250); and

     o    a pro rata amount of any  outstanding  Contract  loan and accrued loan
          interest.

After the  payment  has been made,  we will  reduce the  Specified  Amount,  the
Account Value and any outstanding Contract loan on a pro rata basis.

Only one request for an  accelerated  Death Benefit per Insured is allowed.  The
accelerated Death Benefit may not be available in all states.  In addition,  its
features may differ from those  discussed above as required by state law. Please
refer to the Contract for further information.


CONFINEMENT WAIVER BENEFIT
Under the terms of an endorsement to the Contract,  we will waive any withdrawal
charges on partial  withdrawals and surrenders of the Contract while the Insured
is confined to a qualified  long-term  care  facility or hospital (as defined in
the endorsement) for a period of more than 90 consecutive days beginning 30 days
or more after the issue date.  You must  request this waiver  either  during the
period of  confinement  or within 90 days after the Insured is  discharged  from
such  confinement.  The  confinement  must have been  prescribed  by a  licensed
medical doctor or a licensed doctor of osteopathy, operating within the scope of
his or her license, and must be medically necessary.  The prescribing doctor may
not  be  the  Insured,  the  Contract  Owner,  or  any  spouse,  child,  parent,
grandchild,  grandparent,  sibling or in-law of the Contract  Owner.  "Medically
necessary"  means  appropriate and consistent with the diagnosis and which could
not have been omitted without adversely affecting the Insured's  condition.  The
confinement  waiver  benefit may not be available in all states.  We reserve the
right to discontinue the offering of the confinement  waiver benefit  amendatory
endorsement upon the purchase of a new Contract.


ACCOUNT VALUE
We will compute the Account  Value of a Contract on each  Valuation  Day. On the
Contract  Date,  the  Account  Value is equal to the  initial  premium  less the
Monthly Deduction Amount for the first month. Thereafter, the Account Value will
vary to reflect the  investment  experience of the Funds,  the value of the Loan
Account  and the  Monthly  Deduction  Amounts.  There is no  minimum  guaranteed
Account Value.

The Account Value of a particular  Contract is related to the Accumulation  Unit
Value of the Variable  Sub-Accounts  to which premiums on the Contract have been
allocated.  The Account Value on any Valuation Day is calculated by  multiplying
the number of  Accumulation  Units  credited to the  Contract  in each  Variable
Sub-Account as of the Valuation Day by the then  Accumulation Unit Value of that
Sub-Account  and then  adding  the  results  for all the  Variable  Sub-Accounts
credited to the Contract to the value of the Loan  Account.  See "The Contract -
Accumulation Unit Values," page 12.

TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE
While the Contract remains in force and subject to the Company's  transfer rules
then in effect,  you may  request  that part or all of your  Account  Value in a
particular Variable  Sub-Account be transferred to other Variable  Sub-Accounts.
We reserve  the right to impose a $10 charge on each such  transfer in excess of
12 per Contract Year. However,  there are no charges on transfers at the present
time.  The minimum  amount that can be transferred is shown on the Contract Data
page (currently, there is no minimum).

On days when the New York Stock Exchange  ("NYSE") is open for trading,  you may
make telephone transfer requests by calling 1(800) 755-5275. We effect telephone
transfer  requests that we receive  before 4:00 p.m.,  Eastern Time, at the next
computed value. In the event that the NYSE closes early,  i.e., before 4:00 p.m.
Eastern  Time,  or in the event that the NYSE closes  early for a period of time
but then reopens for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer
requests as of the close of the NYSE on that  particular day. We will not accept
telephone  requests  received at any telephone number other than the number that
appears in this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the NYSE.

Transfers by telephone  may be made by the Contract  Owner's  agent of record or
attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney. Telephone transfers may not be
permitted  in  some  states.  The  policy  of the  Company  and its  agents  and
affiliates is that they will not be responsible for losses resulting from acting
upon  telephone  requests they  reasonably  believe are genuine.  We will employ
reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are
genuine;  otherwise,  we may be liable  for any losses  due to  unauthorized  or
fraudulent instructions.  The procedures we follow for transactions initiated by
telephone  include  requirements  that  callers  on behalf of a  Contract  Owner
identify themselves and the Contract Owner by name and social security number or
other identifying  information.  All transfer instructions by telephone are tape
recorded.

As a result of a  transfer,  we will  reduce  the number of  Accumulation  Units
credited  to the  Variable  Sub-Account  from which the  transfer  is made by an
amount equal to the amount  transferred,  divided by the Accumulation Unit Value
of the Variable  Sub-Account from which the transfer is made next computed after
we receive the  transfer  request.  Similarly,  we will  increase  the number of
Accumulation Units credited to the Variable Sub-Account to which the transfer is
made by an amount equal to the amount  transferred,  divided by the Accumulation
Unit Value of that  Variable  Sub-Account  next  computed  after we receive  the
transfer request.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
You may make transfers  automatically  through  Dollar Cost Averaging  while the
Contract is in force.  Dollar Cost Averaging permits you to transfer a specified
amount every month (or some other  interval as may be determined by the Company)
from the Money Market  Variable  Sub-Account to any other Variable  Sub-Account.
The theory of Dollar  Cost  Averaging  is that,  if  purchases  of equal  dollar
amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will
be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However,
participation  in the Dollar  Cost  Averaging  program  does not assure you of a
greater  profit from your  purchases  under the program;  nor will it prevent or
alleviate  losses in a declining  market.  We impose no additional  charges upon
participants in the Dollar Cost Averaging  program.  Transfers under Dollar Cost
Averaging  are not counted  toward the 12 free  transfers  per Contract  Year we
currently permit.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING
You may make transfers  automatically  through Automatic  Portfolio  Rebalancing
while the  Contract  is in  force.  Under our  Automatic  Portfolio  Rebalancing
program,  we will rebalance your Account Value in the Variable  Sub-Accounts  to
your desired  allocation on a quarterly  basis,  determined  from the first date
that you rebalance.

The allocation we use will be the allocation you initially selected,  unless you
subsequently  changed it. You may change the allocation at any time by giving us
written notice.  The new allocation will be effective with the first rebalancing
that occurs after we receive the written  request.  We are not  responsible  for
rebalancing that occurs prior to our receipt of the written request.


Example:

          Assume  that you want your  initial  purchase  payment  split  among 2
          Variable  Sub-Accounts.  You want 40% to be in the  Fidelity  VIP High
          Income Fund and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Fund. Over the next 2
          months the bond market does very well while the stock market  performs
          poorly. At the end of the first quarter,  the Fidelity VIP High Income
          Fund now  represents  50% of your holdings  because of its increase in
          value. If you choose to have your holdings  rebalanced  quarterly,  on
          the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in
          the  Fidelity VIP High Income Fund and use the money to buy more units
          in the AIM V.I. Growth Fund so that the percentage  allocations  would
          again be 40% and 60% respectively.

Transfers made under the Automatic  Portfolio  Rebalancing  Program do not count
towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not
subject to a transfer fee.

Portfolio   rebalancing  is  consistent  with  maintaining  your  allocation  of
investments among market segments,  although it is accomplished by reducing your
Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

Access To Your Money


CONTRACT LOANS
While the  Contract  is in force,  you may  obtain,  without  the consent of the
beneficiary (provided the designation of beneficiary is not irrevocable), one or
both of two types of cash  loans from the  Company.  These  types are  Preferred
Loans (described below) and non-Preferred Loans. Both types of loans are secured
by  your  Contract.  The  maximum  amount  available  for a  loan  is 90% of the
Contract's Cash Value, less the sum of:

     o    the  amount of all  Contract  loans  existing  on the date of the loan
          (including loan interest to the next Contract Anniversary),

     o    any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction Amounts, and

     o    any  annual  maintenance  fee  due  on or  before  the  next  Contract
          Anniversary.


We will  transfer  the  loan  amount  to the  Loan  Account  from  the  Variable
Sub-Accounts  in  proportion  to your Account  Value in each (unless you specify
otherwise).  We will  credit the  amounts  allocated  to the Loan  Account  with
interest at the loan credited  rate set forth in the  Contract.  Loans will bear
interest at rates we determine  from time to time, but which will not exceed the
maximum rate indicated in the Contract  (currently,  8% per year). The amount of
the Loan Account  that equals the excess of the Account  Value over the total of
all  premiums  paid under the  Contract,  net of any  premiums  returned  due to
partial withdrawals, as determined on each Contract Anniversary, is considered a
"Preferred  Loan."  Preferred  Loans bear  interest  at a rate not to exceed the
Preferred Loan rate set forth in the Contract.  The difference between the value
of the Loan Account and the  Indebtedness  will be transferred from the Variable
Sub-Accounts  (in  proportion to your Account Value in each) to the Loan Account
on each  Contract  Anniversary.  If the aggregate  outstanding  loan(s) and loan
interest secured by the Contract exceeds the Cash Value of the Contract, we will
give you written notice that, unless we receive an additional  payment within 61
days to reduce the aggregate  outstanding  loan(s) secured by the Contract,  the
Contract may lapse.


All or any part of any loan  secured  by a  Contract  may be  repaid  while  the
Contract is still in effect. When loan repayments or interest payments are made,
the  repayment  will be allocated  among the Variable  Sub-Accounts  in the same
percentages  as apply to  subsequent  premium  payments  (unless  you  request a
different  allocation).  We will deduct from the Loan Account an amount equal to
the payment.  Any  outstanding  loan at the end of a grace period must be repaid
before we will reinstate the Contract. See "Contract Benefits and Rights - Lapse
and Reinstatement," page 18.

A loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the Account Value
because the investment  results of each Variable  Sub-Account will apply only to
the amount remaining in that Sub-Account.  The longer a loan is outstanding, the
greater  the  effect  is  likely  to  be.  The  effect  could  be  favorable  or
unfavorable.  If the Variable  Sub-Accounts  earn more than the annual  interest
rate for amounts held in the Loan Account, a Contract Owner's Account Value will
not increase as rapidly as it would have had no loan been made.  If the Variable
Sub-Accounts  earn less than that rate, the Contract  Owner's Account Value will
be greater than it would have been had no loan been made.  Also,  if not repaid,
the aggregate  outstanding  loan(s) will reduce the death  benefit  proceeds and
cash surrender value otherwise payable.

AMOUNT PAYABLE ON SURRENDER OF THE CONTRACT
While the  Contract  is in force,  you may  elect,  without  the  consent of the
beneficiary  (provided the  designation of beneficiary is not  irrevocable),  to
fully  surrender  the  Contract.  Upon  surrender,  you  will  receive  the Cash
Surrender Value  determined as of the day we receive your written request or, if
later,  the date you requested.  The Cash Surrender  Value equals the Cash Value
less  the  annual  maintenance  fee and any  Indebtedness.  We will pay the Cash
Surrender  Value of the Contract within seven days of our receipt of the written
request or on the effective surrender date you requested, whichever is later.

The Contract will terminate on the date of our receipt of your written  request,
or the date you request the surrender to be effective, whichever is later. For a
discussion of the tax  consequences of surrendering  the Contract,  see "Federal
Tax Matters," page 21.

You may elect to apply the  surrender  proceeds to an Income Plan (see  "Payment
Options," page 18).

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
While the  Contract  is in force,  you may elect,  by written  request,  to make
partial  withdrawals of at least $50 from the Contract's  Cash Surrender  Value.
The Cash  Surrender  Value,  after the partial  withdrawal,  must at least equal
$2,000;  otherwise,  we will treat the request as a request for full  surrender.
The  partial  withdrawal  will be deducted  from the  Variable  Sub-Accounts  in
proportion to your Account  Value in each,  unless you instruct  otherwise.  The
Specified Amount after the partial withdrawal will be the greater of:

     o    the  Specified  Amount  prior  to  the  partial   withdrawal   reduced
          proportionately to the reduction in Account Value; or

     o    the minimum Specified Amount necessary in order to meet the definition
          of a life insurance contract under section 7702 of the Code.

Partial  withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount may be subject to a
withdrawal  charge and any due and unpaid premium tax charges.  See  "Deductions
and Charges - Other Deductions - Withdrawal  Charge" and "Due and Unpaid Premium
Tax  Charge,"  page 14.  For a  discussion  of the tax  consequences  of partial
withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.

PAYMENT OPTIONS
The surrender proceeds or Death Benefit proceeds under the Contracts may be paid
in a lump sum, or you may apply the proceeds to one of our Income Plans.  If the
amount to be applied to an Income Plan is less than $3,000 or if it would result
in an initial income payment of less than $20, we may require that the frequency
of income  payments be decreased such that the income  payments are greater than
$20 each,  or we may elect to pay the  amount in a lump  sum.  No  surrender  or
partial withdrawals are permitted after payments under an Income Plan commence.

We will pay interest on the proceeds from the date of the Insured's death to the
date payment is made or a payment option is elected. At such times, the proceeds
are not subject to the investment experience of the Variable Account.


The Income Plans are fixed annuities  payable from our general account.  They do
not reflect the investment experience of the Variable Account. We will determine
fixed annuity  payments by  multiplying  the amount  applied to the annuity by a
rate we determine, which is no less than the rate specified in the fixed payment
annuity  tables in the Contract.  The annuity  payment will remain level for the
duration of the annuity.  We may require  proof of age and sex of the payee (and
joint payee,  if applicable)  before  payments  begin. We may also require proof
that such person(s) are living before any payment(s) are made.


The  following  options are  available  under the  Contracts (we may offer other
payment options):

Income Plan 1 - Life  Income With  Guaranteed  Payments.  The Company  will make
payments for as long as the payee  lives.  If the payee dies before the selected
number of guaranteed  payments have been made,  the Company will continue to pay
the remainder of the guaranteed payments.

Income Plan 2 - Joint And Survivor  Life Income With  Guaranteed  Payments.  The
Company will make payments for as long as either the payee or Joint payee, named
at the time of Income Plan selection, is living. If both the payee and the Joint
payee die before the selected number of guaranteed  payments have been made, the
Company will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed payments.

The  Company  will make any other  arrangements  for income  payments  as may be
agreed on.

MATURITY
The Contracts have no maturity date.

LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
The Contract will remain in force until the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient
to cover a Monthly  Deduction  Amount due on a Monthly  Activity  Date.  If that
happens, we give you written notice that if an amount shown in the notice (which
will be sufficient  to cover the Monthly  Deduction  Amount(s)  due) is not paid
within 61 days ("grace period"), there is a danger of lapse.

The  Contract  will  continue  through  the grace  period,  but if no payment is
forthcoming,  it will  terminate at the end of the grace period.  If the Insured
dies during the grace  period,  the proceeds  payable under the Contract will be
reduced  by the  Monthly  Deduction  Amount(s)  due and  unpaid.  See  "Contract
Benefits and Rights - Death Benefit," page 15.

If the  Contract  lapses,  you may apply for  reinstatement  of the  Contract by
paying the reinstatement premium (and any applicable charges) required under the
Contract.  You must make a request  for  reinstatement  within five years of the
date the Contract entered a grace period.  If a loan was outstanding at the time
of lapse, we will require repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement.
In  addition,   we  reserve  the  right  to  require  evidence  of  insurability
satisfactory to us. The  reinstatement  premium is equal to an amount sufficient
to:

     o    cover all Monthly  Deduction  Amounts and annual  maintenance fees due
          and unpaid during the grace period, and

     o    keep  the  Contract  in  force  for  three  months  after  the date of
          reinstatement.

The Specified  Amount upon  reinstatement  cannot exceed the Specified Amount of
the  Contract at its lapse.  The Account  Value on the  reinstatement  date will
reflect the Account  Value at the time of  termination  of the Contract plus the
premiums  paid at the  time of  reinstatement.  Withdrawal  charges  and due and
unpaid  premium tax charges,  cost of  insurance,  and tax expense  charges will
continue to be based on the original Contract Date.

CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
You have a limited  right to return a Contract for  cancellation.  This right to
return  exists during what we call the  cancellation  period.  The  cancellation
period is a number of days which varies by state as specified in your  contract.
If you choose to exercise  this right,  we may require  that you must return the
Contract for cancellation by mail or personal delivery to the Company within the
cancellation  period  following  delivery  of the  Contract to you. We will then
return to you within 7 days thereafter the sum of:


     o    the  Account  Value on the  Valuation  date the  returned  Contract is
          received by the Company or its agent; and


     o    any deductions  under the Contract or by the Funds for taxes,  charges
          or fees.

Some states may require the Company to return the premiums paid for the returned
Contract.

Once the  Contract is in effect,  you may exchange it during the first 24 months
after its issuance for a non-variable permanent life insurance contract we offer
on the  life of the  Insured.  The  amount  at risk to the  Company  (i.e.,  the
difference  between  the Death  Benefit  and the  Account  Value)  under the new
contract  will be equal to or less than the amount at risk to the Company  under
the exchanged Contract on the date of exchange.  Premiums under the new Contract
will be based on the same risk  classification  as the exchanged  Contract.  The
exchange is subject to  adjustments in premiums and Account Value to reflect any
variance between the exchanged Contract and the new contract.

We reserve  the right to make such a contract  available  that is offered by the
Company's parent or by any other affiliate of the Company.

SUSPENSION OF VALUATION, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
We will suspend all  procedures  requiring  valuation  of the  Variable  Account
(including  transfers,  surrenders  and  loans)  on any day the New  York  Stock
Exchange  is closed or trading is  restricted  due to an existing  emergency  as
defined  by the  SEC,  or on any day  the SEC has  ordered  that  the  right  of
surrender of the Contracts be suspended for the  protection of Contract  Owners,
until such condition has ended.

LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
We offer the  Contracts  on  either a single  life or a "last  survivor"  basis.
Contracts sold on a last survivor basis operate in a manner almost  identical to
the single life version. The most important difference is that the last survivor
version involves two Insureds and the proceeds are paid only on the death of the
last  surviving  Insured.  The other  significant  differences  between the last
survivor and single life versions are listed below:

Last survivor Contracts are offered for prospective insured persons age 18-85.

The cost of insurance  charges under the last survivor  Contracts are determined
in a manner that reflects the anticipated  mortality of the two Insureds and the
fact that the  Death  Benefit  is not  payable  until  the  death of the  second
Insured.

To qualify for  simplified  underwriting  under a last survivor  Contract,  both
Insureds must meet the simplified underwriting standards.

     o    For a last survivor  Contract to be reinstated,  both Insureds must be
          alive on the date of reinstatement.

     o    The Contract provisions regarding  misstatement of age or sex, suicide
          and incontestability apply to either Insured.

     o    Additional tax disclosures  applicable to last survivor  Contracts are
          provided in "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.

     o    The  Accelerated  Death  Benefit  provision  is  only  available  upon
          terminal illness of the last survivor.

     o    The Confinement Waiver Benefit is available upon confinement of either
          Insured.

Other Matters




VOTING RIGHTS
In accordance with our view of presently applicable law, we will vote the shares
of the Funds at regular and special meetings of their shareholders in accordance
with instructions from Contract Owners (or their assignees,  as the case may be)
having a voting  interest in the Variable  Account.  We determine  the number of
shares of a Portfolio held in a Variable  Sub-Account  that are  attributable to
each Contract Owner by dividing the Contract  Owner's  interest in that Variable
Sub-Account by the per share net asset value of the corresponding  Portfolio. We
will vote shares for which no instructions  have been given and shares which are
not attributable to Contract Owners (i.e., shares we own) in the same proportion
as we vote shares for which we have  received  instructions.  If the 1940 Act or
any rule promulgated  thereunder should be amended,  however,  or if our present
interpretation  should change and, as a result, we determine we are permitted to
vote the shares of the Funds in our own right, we may elect to do so.

We will  determine the voting  interests of the Contract Owner (or the assignee)
in the  Funds  as  follows:  Contract  Owners  are  entitled  to give us  voting
instructions with respect to Portfolio shares  attributable to them as described
above,  determined  on the  record  date for the  shareholder  meeting  for that
Portfolio.  Therefore,  if a  Contract  Owner  has taken a loan  secured  by the
Contract,  amounts  transferred  from the  Variable  Sub-Account(s)  to the Loan
Account  in  connection  with the loan (see  "Access  to Your  Money -  Contract
Loans," page 17) will not be considered in determining  the voting  interests of
the  Contract  Owner.  You should  review the  prospectuses  for the Funds which
accompany this prospectus to determine  matters on which Fund  shareholders  may
vote.

We may,  when  required by state  insurance  regulatory  authorities,  disregard
voting  instructions if the instructions  require us to vote the shares so as to
cause a change in the  sub-classification or investment objective of one or more
of the  Portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment  advisory  contract
for any of the Portfolios.


In addition,  we may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated
by Contract Owners in the investment objectives or the investment adviser of the
Funds if we reasonably  disapprove of such changes.  We will disapprove a change
only if the  proposed  change  would be contrary to state law or  prohibited  by
state regulatory  authorities.  If we do disregard voting instructions,  we will
include a summary of that  action and the  reasons  for it in the next  periodic
report to Contract Owners.

STATEMENTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
The Company will maintain all records  relating to the Variable  Account and the
Variable  Sub-Accounts.  At least once each Contract  Year, we will send to each
Contract Owner a statement  showing the coverage amount and the Account Value of
the  Contract  (indicating  the number of  Accumulation  Units  credited  to the
Contract in each Variable  Sub-Account and the  corresponding  Accumulation Unit
Value),  and any outstanding  loan secured by the Contract as of the date of the
statement.  The statement will also show premium paid, Monthly Deduction Amounts
under the Contract since the last statement,  and any other information required
by any applicable law or regulation.

LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
We may not contest  the  validity  of the  Contract  after it has been in effect
during the  Insured's  lifetime  for two years from the  Contract  Date.  If the
Contract  is  reinstated,  the  two-year  period  is  measured  from the date of
reinstatement.  Any  increase  in the  Specified  Amount for which  evidence  of
insurability  was obtained is contestable  for two years from the effective date
of the increase.  In addition, if the Insured dies by suicide while sane or self
destruction while insane in the two-year period after the Contract Date, or such
period as  specified  in state law,  the benefit  payable will be limited to the
premiums paid less any Indebtedness and partial withdrawals. If the Insured dies
by suicide while sane or  self-destruction  while insane in the two-year  period
following an increase in the Specified Amount,  the benefit payable with respect
to the  increase  will be  limited  to the  additional  premium  paid  for  such
increase, less any Indebtedness and partial withdrawals.

MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is incorrectly  stated,  the Death Benefit will
be appropriately adjusted as specified in the Contract.


<PAGE>



BENEFICIARY
You name the beneficiary in your  application  for the Contract.  You may change
the  beneficiary  (unless  irrevocably  named) during the Insured's  lifetime by
written  request to the Company.  If no  beneficiary  is living when the Insured
dies, we will pay the proceeds to the Contract Owner if living; otherwise to the
Contract Owner's estate.

ASSIGNMENT
Unless required by state law, the Contract may not be assigned as collateral for
a loan or other obligation.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be paid under the Contracts.


DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
ALFS, Inc.  ("ALFS"),  3100 Sanders Road,  Northbrook  Illinois,  a wholly owned
subsidiary of Allstate Life, acts as the principal underwriter of the Contracts.
ALFS is registered as a broker-dealer  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and a member of the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. Contracts
are sold by registered  representatives  of unaffiliated  broker-dealers or bank
employees who are licensed  insurance  agents  appointed by the Company,  either
individually  or through an incorporated  insurance  agency and who have entered
into a selling  agreement  with ALFS and the Company to sell the  Contracts.  In
some  states,  Contracts  may be sold by  representatives  or employees of banks
which may be acting as broker-dealers  without separate  registration  under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.


Commissions  paid may vary,  but in the aggregate are not  anticipated to exceed
7.25%  of  any  purchase  payment.  These  commissions  are  intended  to  cover
distribution  expenses.  In  addition,  sales of the  Contract  may count toward
incentive program awards for the registered representative.

The underwriting agreement with ALFS provides for indemnification of ALFS by the
Company for  liability to Contract  Owners  arising out of services  rendered or
Contracts issued.

SAFEKEEPING OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
The assets of the Variable  Account are held by the  Company.  The assets of the
Variable Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and apart from
the  general  account  of the  Company.  The  Company  maintains  records of all
purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds.

 Federal Tax Matters




Federal Tax Considerations

Introduction

The  following  discussion  is general and is not  intended  as tax advice.  The
Company  makes no  guarantee  regarding  the tax  treatment  of any  Contract or
transaction  involving  a  Contract.   Federal,   state,  local  and  other  tax
consequences  of ownership or purchase of a life  insurance  policy  depend upon
your circumstances.  If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard
to your individual circumstances, you should consult a qualified tax advisor.


Taxation of the Company and the Variable Account

The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L of
the Internal  Revenue Code. The Separate  Account is not an entity separate from
the Company and its operations form a part of the Company. As a consequence, the
Separate  Account  will  not be  taxed  separately  as a  "Regulated  Investment
Company" under Subchapter M of the Code.  Investment income and realized capital
gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contracts.  Under
current  federal  tax  law,  the  Company  believes  that the  Separate  Account
investment income and realized net capital gains will not be taxed to the extent
that such  income  and gains are  applied to  increase  the  reserves  under the
Contracts.  Generally, reserves are amounts that the Company is legally required
to  accumulate  and  maintain  in order to meet  future  obligations  under  the
Contracts. The Company does not anticipate that it will incur any federal income
tax liability attributable to the Separate Account.  Therefore, we do not intend
to make provisions for any such taxes.  If we are taxed on investment  income or
capital gains of the Separate  Account,  then we may impose a charge against the
Separate Account in order to make provisions for any such taxes.


Taxation of Contract Benefits

In order to qualify as a life insurance  policy for federal income tax purposes,
the Contract must meet the  definition of a life  insurance  policy set forth in
Section 7702 of the Code. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be
invested  in a Contract  that  qualifies  as life  insurance.  The  Contract  is
structured to meet the Section 7702 definition of a life insurance policy.  This
means that the Death  Benefit is excluded  from the  beneficiary's  gross income
under  Section  101(a)  of the Code and you are not  taxed on  increases  in the
Contract Value until a distribution occurs.

If a  Contract  fails to qualify  as life  insurance  under  Section  7702,  the
Contract will not provide most of the tax advantages  normally  provided by life
insurance.  The Company has the right to amend the  Contracts to comply with any
future  changes in the Code,  any  regulations or rulings under the Code and any
other requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

If you surrender  the Contract,  you are subject to income tax on the portion of
the distribution that exceeds the investment in the contract.  The investment in
the  contract  is the gross  premium  paid for the  Contract  minus any  amounts
previously  received  from the Contract if such amounts were  properly  excluded
from your gross income.

If the Contract is not treated as a modified endowment  contract,  then Contract
loans are not generally treated as taxable distributions,  and you are generally
taxed on partial  withdrawals to the extent the amount  distributed  exceeds the
investment in the  contract.  In certain  situations,  partial  withdrawals,  or
reduction in benefits  during the first fifteen years of the Contract may result
in a taxable  distribution  before the  investment in the contract is recovered.
Interest paid on a Contract loan is generally not  deductible.  Withdrawals  and
loans from  modified  endowment  contracts  are  subject to less  favorable  tax
treatment.

If you are Owner  and  Insured  under the  Policy,  the  Death  Benefit  will be
included in your gross  estate for federal  estate tax  purposes if the proceeds
are payable to your  estate.  If the  beneficiary  is not your  estate,  but you
retain  incidents of ownership in the  Contract,  the Death Benefit will also be
included in your gross estate. Examples of incidents of ownership include:

o    the right to change beneficiaries,
o    to assign the Contract,
o    to revoke an assignment,
o    to pledge the Contract, or
o    to obtain a Contract loan.

If you are Owner and Insured under the Contract,  and you transfer all incidents
of ownership in the  Contract,  the Death Benefit will be included in your gross
estate if you die within  three years from the date of the  ownership  transfer.
State and local  estate  and  inheritance  taxes may also  apply.  In  addition,
certain  transfers of the Contract or Death  Benefit,  either  during life or at
death,  to  individuals  two or more  generations  below the  transferor  may be
subject to the federal generation  skipping transfer tax. This rule also applies
if the  transfer  is to a  trust  for the  benefit  of  individuals  two or more
generations below the transferor.

The  Contract  may be  used  in  various  arrangements,  including  nonqualified
deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans,
executive  bonus  plans,  retiree  medical  benefit  plans and  others.  The tax
consequences  of such  plans  may vary  depending  on the  particular  facts and
circumstances of each individual  arrangement.  If you are contemplating the use
of a Contract in any of these  arrangements,  you should consult a qualified tax
advisor regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.

Modified Endowment Contracts

A life  insurance  policy is treated as a "modified  endowment  contract"  under
Section 7702A of the Tax Code if it meets the  definition  of life  insurance in
Section 7702, but fails the  "seven-pay"  test of Section  7702A.  The seven-pay
test  provides  that  premiums  cannot be paid at a rate more  rapidly than that
allowed by the payment of seven annual  premiums using  specified  computational
rules provided in Section 7702A.  The large single premium  permitted  under the
Contract (which is equal to 100% of the "Guideline Single Premium" as defined in
Section 7702 of the Code) does not meet the specific computational rules for the
seven pay test provided in Section 7702A. Therefore, the Contract will generally
be treated as a modified endowment  contract.  An exchange under Section 1035 of
the Tax  Code  of a life  insurance  policy  that  is not a  modified  endowment
contract will not cause the new policy to be a modified endowment contract if no
additional  premiums are paid.  An exchange  under Section 1035 of the Code of a
life  insurance  policy  that is a modified  endowment  contract  for a new life
insurance  policy  will always  cause the new policy to be a modified  endowment
contract.

A Contract  that is  classified  as a modified  endowment  contract is generally
eligible for the beneficial tax treatment accorded to life insurance.  The death
benefit is excluded from income and increases in Contract  Value are not subject
to  current  taxation.  If you  receive  any  amount as a  Contract  loan from a
modified  endowment  contract,  or assign or pledge any part of the value of the
Contract, such amount is treated as a distribution.  Unlike other life insurance
policies,  withdrawals  and  distributions  made before the insured's  death are
treated as taxable income first, then as recovery of investment in the contract.
The taxable portion of any distribution  from a modified  endowment  contract is
subject to a 10% penalty tax, except as follows:

o    distributions  made on or after the date on which the taxpayer  attains age
     59-1/2;

o    distributions  attributable to the taxpayer's becoming disabled (within the
     meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code);

o    or any  distribution  that is  part  of a  series  of  substantially  equal
     periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or
     life  expectancy)  of the  taxpayer  or the  joint  lives  (or  joint  life
     expectancies) of such taxpayer and his or her beneficiary.

All modified endowment contracts that are issued within any calendar year to the
same owner by one  company or its  affiliates  shall be treated as one  modified
endowment contract in determining the taxable portion of any distributions.

Diversification Requirements

For a Contract to qualify as a variable  life  insurance  policy for federal tax
purposes,   the  investments  in  the  Separate   Account  must  be  "adequately
diversified" consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations. If
the  investments  in the Separate  Account are not adequately  diversified,  the
Contract  will not be treated as a variable  life  insurance  policy for federal
income  tax  purposes.  As a  result,  you will be taxed  on the  excess  of the
Contract  Value over the  investment in the contract.  Although the Company does
not have  control  over the  Portfolios  or their  investments,  we  expect  the
Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.


Ownership Treatment

The IRS has stated that you will be  considered  the owner of  Separate  Account
assets if you  possess  incidents  of  ownership  in those  assets,  such as the
ability  to  exercise  investment  control  over  the  assets.  At the  time the
diversification  regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that
the  regulations  do not  provide  guidance  concerning  circumstances  in which
investor control of the Separate Account investments may cause an investor to be
treated as the owner of the  Separate  Account.  The  Treasury  Department  also
stated that future  guidance  would be issued  regarding  the extent that owners
could direct  sub-account  investments  without  being  treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the Separate Account.

Your rights under this Contract are different than those described by the IRS in
rulings  in which it found that  contract  owners  were not  owners of  Separate
Account  assets.  For  example,  you have the choice to  allocate  premiums  and
Contract values among more investment options. Also, you may be able to transfer
among investment options more frequently than in such rulings. These differences
could result in you being treated as the owner of the Separate Account.  If this
occurs,  income and gain from the Separate Account assets would be includible in
your gross income. The Company does not know what standards will be set forth in
any  regulations  or rulings  which the  Treasury  Department  may issue.  It is
possible  that future  standards  announced  by the  Treasury  Department  could
adversely  affect the tax  treatment of your  contract.  We reserve the right to
modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered
the federal tax owner of the assets of the Separate Account. However, we make no
guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.

Year 2000


Glenbrook is heavily  dependent upon complex  computer systems for all phases of
its   operations,   including   customer   service,   and  policy  and  contract
administration.  Since many of  Glenbrook's  older  computer  software  programs
recognize  only the last two digits of the year in any date,  some  software may
have failed to operate  properly in or after the year 1999,  if the software was
not reprogrammed or replaced ("Year 2000 Issue").  Glenbrook  believes that many
of its  counterparties  and suppliers  also had potential Year 2000 Issues which
could affect  Glenbrook.  In 1995,  Allstate  Insurance Company commenced a four
phase plan intended to mitigate  and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000
Issues.  These strategies included normal development and enhancement of new and
existing  systems,  upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance
agreements,  and  modifications  to  existing  systems  to make  them  Year 2000
compliant.  The plan also  included  Glenbrook  actively  working with its major
external  counterparties  and suppliers to assess their  compliance  efforts and
Glenbrook's  exposure to them.  Because of the  accuracy  of this plan,  and its
timely completion,  Glenbrook has experienced no material impacts on its results
of operations,  liquidity or financial position due to the Year 2000 issue. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.



Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is involved in pending and  threatened  litigation
in the normal  course of its business in which  claims for monetary  damages are
asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate
the ultimate  liability  arising from such pending or  threatened  litigation to
have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or the Variable
Account.

Legal Matters
Freedman,  Levy, Kroll & Simonds,  Washington,  D.C., has advised the Company on
certain federal  securities law matters.  All matters of state law pertaining to
the Contracts,  including the validity of the Contracts and the Company's  right
to issue such  Contracts  under state  insurance  law,  have been passed upon by
Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of the Company.

Registration Statement
We have filed a  registration  statement  with respect to the Contracts with the
SEC under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended.  This  Prospectus  does not
contain all information set forth in the registration statement,  its amendments
and  exhibits,  to all of  which  reference  is  made  for  further  information
concerning the Variable Account, the Funds, the Company, and the Contracts.  The
exhibits to the registration statement include hypothetical illustrations of the
Contract that show how the Death Benefit, Account Value and Cash Surrender Value
could vary over an extended period of time assuming  hypothetical gross rates of
return  (i.e.,  investment  income and  capital  gains and  losses,  realized or
unrealized)  for the Variable  Account equal to annual rates of 0%, 6%, and 12%,
an initial premium of $10,000,  Insureds in the standard rating class, and based
on current and guaranteed Contract charges.  Personalized illustrations provided
by the Company upon request will be based on the methodology and format of these
hypothetical illustrations as appropriate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDER OF
GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY:

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Financial Position of Glenbrook
Life and Annuity Company (the "Company", an affiliate of The Allstate
Corporation) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income, Shareholder's Equity and Cash Flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also
included Schedule IV - Reinsurance. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, Schedule IV - Reinsurance,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

                       GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                ($ IN THOUSANDS)


1. GENERAL

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Glenbrook Life and
Annuity Company (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life
Insurance Company ("ALIC"), which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company
("AIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the
"Corporation"). These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company markets savings and life insurance products through banks and
securities firms. Savings products include deferred annuities and immediate
annuities without life contingencies. Deferred annuities include fixed rate,
market value adjusted, indexed and variable annuities. Life insurance consists
of interest-sensitive life and variable life insurance. In 1999, substantially
all of the Company's statutory premiums and deposits were from annuities.

Annuity contracts and life insurance policies issued by the Company are subject
to discretionary surrender or withdrawal by customers, subject to applicable
surrender charges. These policies and contracts are reinsured primarily with
ALIC (see Note 3), which invests premiums and deposits to provide cash flows
that will be used to fund future benefits and expenses.

The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments which have the
potential to impact its business. Recently enacted federal legislation will
allow for banks and other financial organizations to have greater participation
in the securities and insurance businesses. This legislation may present an
increased level of competition for sales of the Company's products. Furthermore,
the market for deferred annuities and interest-sensitive life insurance is
enhanced by the tax incentives available under current law. Any legislative
changes which lessen these incentives are likely to negatively impact the demand
for these products.

Additionally, traditional demutualizations of mutual insurance companies and
enacted and pending state legislation to permit mutual insurance companies to
convert to a hybrid structure known as a mutual holding company could have a
number of significant effects on the Company by (1) increasing industry
competition through consolidation caused by mergers and acquisitions related to
the new corporate form of business; and (2) increasing competition in the
capital markets.

Although the Company currently benefits from agreements with financial services
entities who market and distribute its products, change in control of these
non-affiliated entities with which the Company has alliances could negatively
impact the Company's sales.

The Company is authorized to sell life and savings products in all states except
New York, as well as in the District of Columbia. The top geographic locations
for statutory premiums and deposits for the Company were Florida, California,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Illinois and New Jersey for the year ended
December 31, 1999. No other jurisdiction accounted for more than 5% of statutory
premiums and deposits. Substantially all premiums and deposits are ceded to ALIC
under reinsurance agreements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENTS
Fixed income securities include bonds and mortgage-backed securities. All
fixed income securities are carried at fair value and may be sold prior to
their contractual maturity ("available for sale"). The difference between
amortized cost and fair value, net of deferred income taxes, is reflected as
a component of shareholder's equity. Provisions are recognized for declines
in the value of fixed income securities that are other than temporary. Such
writedowns are included in realized capital gains and losses. Short-term
investments are carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair
value.

Investment income consists primarily of interest and short-term investment
dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded
at the ex-dividend date. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities is
determined on the effective yield method, based on the estimated principal
repayments. Accrual of income is suspended for fixed income securities that are
in default or when the receipt of interest payments is in doubt. Realized
capital gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis.

REINSURANCE RECOVERABLE
The Company has reinsurance agreements whereby substantially all contract
charges, credited interest, policy benefits and certain expenses are ceded to
ALIC. Such amounts are reflected net of such reinsurance in the statements of
operations and comprehensive income. Investment income earned on the assets
which support contractholder funds and the reserve for life-contingent contract
benefits is not included in the Company's financial statements as those assets
are owned and managed under terms of reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance
recoverable and the related reserve for life-contingent contract benefits and
contractholder funds are reported separately in the statements of financial
position. The Company continues to have primary liability as the direct insurer
for risks reinsured.

RECOGNITION OF INSURANCE REVENUE AND RELATED BENEFITS AND INTEREST CREDITED
Interest-sensitive life contracts are insurance contracts whose terms are not
fixed and guaranteed. The terms that may be changed include premiums paid by the
contractholder, interest credited to the contractholder account balance and one
or more amounts assessed against the contractholder. Premiums from these
contracts are reported as deposits to contractholder funds. Contract charge
revenue consists of fees assessed against the contractholder account balance for
cost of insurance (mortality risk), contract administration and surrender
charges. Contract benefits include interest credited to contracts and claims
incurred in excess of the related contractholder account balance.

Contracts that do not subject the Company to significant risk arising from
mortality or morbidity are referred to as investment contracts. Fixed rate
annuities, market value adjusted annuities, indexed annuities and immediate
annuities without life contingencies are considered investment contracts.
Deposits received for such contracts are reported as deposits to contractholder
funds. Contract charge revenue for investment contracts consists of charges
assessed against the contractholder account balance for contract administration
and surrenders. Contract benefits include interest credited and claims incurred
in excess of the related contractholder account balance.

Crediting rates for fixed rate and interest-sensitive life contracts are
adjusted periodically by the Company to reflect current market conditions.
Crediting rates for indexed annuities are based on an interest rate index, such
as LIBOR or an equity index, such as the S&P 500.

Investment contracts include variable annuity and variable life contracts which
are sold as Separate Accounts products. The assets supporting these products are
legally segregated and available only to settle Separate Accounts contract
obligations. Deposits received are reported as Separate Accounts liabilities.
The Company's contract charge revenue for these contracts consists of charges
assessed against the Separate Accounts fund balances for contract maintenance,
administration, mortality, expense and surrenders.

All contract charges, contract benefits and interest credited are reinsured.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision is calculated under the liability method and presented
net of reinsurance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities at the enacted tax rates. Deferred income taxes arise primarily from
unrealized capital gains and losses on fixed income securities carried at fair
value and differences in the tax bases of investments.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The Company issues deferred variable annuity and variable life contracts, the
assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and recorded as assets
and liabilities of the Separate Accounts. Absent any contract provisions wherein
the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to
the beneficiaries of the contractholders in the form of a death benefit, the
contractholders bear the investment risk that the Separate Accounts' funds may
not meet their stated objectives.

The assets of the Separate Accounts are carried at fair value. Separate
Accounts liabilities represent the contractholders' claim to the related
assets and are carried at the fair value of the assets. In the event that the
asset value of certain contractholder accounts are projected to be below the
value guaranteed by the Company, a liability is established through a charge
to earnings. Investment income and realized capital gains and losses of the
Separate Accounts accrue directly to the contractholders and therefore, are
not included in the Company's statements of operations and comprehensive
income. Revenues to the Company from the Separate Accounts consist of
contract maintenance and administration fees, and mortality, surrender and
expense charges.

Prior to 1998, the Company had an ownership interest ("Participation") in the
Separate Accounts. The Company's Participation was carried at fair value and
unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, were shown as a
component of shareholder's equity. Investment income and realized capital gains
and losses which arose from the Participation were included in the Company's
statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company liquidated its
Participation during 1997, which resulted in a pretax realized capital gain of
$3.5 million.

RESERVE FOR LIFE-CONTINGENT CONTRACT BENEFITS
The reserve for life-contingent contract benefits, which relates to certain
variable annuity contract guarantees, is computed on the basis of assumptions as
to mortality, future investment yields, terminations and expenses at the time
the policy is issued. These assumptions include provisions for adverse deviation
and generally vary by such characteristics as type of coverage, year of issue
and policy duration. Detailed reserve assumptions and reserve interest rates are
outlined in Note 6.

CONTRACTHOLDER FUNDS
Contractholder funds arise from the issuance of interest-sensitive life and
certain investment contracts. Deposits received are recorded as
interest-bearing liabilities. Contractholder funds are equal to deposits
received, net of commissions, and interest credited to the benefit of the
contractholder less withdrawals, mortality charges, and administrative
expenses. Detailed information on crediting rates and surrender and
withdrawal protection on contractholder funds are outlined in Note 6.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by
Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments." The SOP
provides guidance concerning when to recognize a liability for insurance-related
assessments and how those liabilities should be measured. Specifically,
insurance-related assessments should be recognized as liabilities when all of
the following criteria have been met: 1) an assessment has been imposed or it is
probable that an assessment will be imposed, 2) the event obligating an entity
to pay an assessment has occurred and 3) the amount of the assessment can be
reasonably estimated. Adoption of this statement was not material to the
Company's results of operations or financial position.

5.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various financial
assets and incurs various financial liabilities. The fair value estimates of
financial instruments presented below are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts the Company might pay or receive in actual market transactions.
Potential taxes and other transaction costs have not been considered in
estimating fair value. The disclosures that follow do not reflect the fair value
of the Company as a whole since a number of the Company's significant assets
(including reinsurance recoverable and deferred income taxes) and liabilities
(including interest-sensitive life insurance reserves) are not considered
financial instruments and are not carried at fair value. Other assets and
liabilities considered financial instruments, such as accrued investment income
and cash, are generally of a short-term nature. Their carrying values are
assumed to approximate fair value.

FINANCIAL ASSETS
The carrying value and fair value of financial assets at December 31, are as
follows:

</TABLE>


Fair values for fixed income securities are based on quoted market prices where
available. Non-quoted securities are valued based on discounted cash flows using
current interest rates for similar securities. Short-term investments are highly
liquid investments with maturities of less than one year whose carrying value
are deemed to approximate fair value. Separate Accounts assets are carried in
the statements of financial position at fair value based on quoted market
prices.

The fair value of contractholder funds on investment contracts is based on the
terms of the underlying contracts. Reserves on investment contracts with no
stated maturities (single premium and flexible premium deferred annuities) are
valued at the account balance less surrender charges. The fair value of
immediate annuities and annuities without life contingencies with fixed terms is
estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates
currently offered for contracts with similar terms and durations. Separate
Accounts liabilities are carried at the fair value of the underlying assets.

6. RESERVE FOR LIFE-CONTINGENT CONTRACT BENEFITS AND CONTRACTHOLDER FUNDS

At December 31, 1999 the reserve for life-contingent contract benefits consisted
of reserves for immediate annuities. The assumptions for mortality generally
utilized in calculating immediate annuity reserves is the 1983 group annuity
mortality table. Interest rate assumptions for immediate annuities vary from
3.5% to 7.2%. Other estimation methods used for immediate annuities include the
present value of contractually fixed benefits.

         At December 31, contractholder funds consists of the following:

</TABLE>


Contractholder funds are equal to deposits received, net of commissions, and
interest credited to the benefit of the contractholder less withdrawals,
mortality charges and administrative expenses. Interest rates credited range
from 4.0% to 7.2% for interest-sensitive life contracts; 3.5% to 7.2% for
immediate annuities and 4.3% to 6.7% for deferred annuities. Withdrawal and
surrender charge protection includes: i) for interest-sensitive life, either a
percentage of account balance or dollar amount grading off generally over 20
years; and, ii) for deferred annuities not subject to a market value adjustment,
either a declining or a level percentage charge generally over nine years or
less. Approximately 1% of deferred annuities are subject to a market value
adjustment.

7. CORPORATION RESTRUCTURING

On November 10, 1999 the Corporation announced a series of strategic initiatives
to aggressively expand its selling and service capabilities. The Corporation
also announced that it is implementing a program to reduce expenses by
approximately $600 million. The reduction will result in the elimination of
approximately 4,000 current non-agent positions, across all employment grades
and categories by the end of 2000, or approximately 10% of the Corporation's
non-agent work force. The impact of the reduction in employee positions is not
expected to materially impact the results of operations of the Company.

These cost reductions are part of a larger initiative to redeploy the cost
savings to finance new initiatives including investments in direct access and
internet channels for new sales and service capabilities, new competitive
pricing and underwriting techniques, new agent and claim technology and enhanced
marketing and advertising. As a result of the cost reduction program, the
Corporation recorded restructuring and related charges of $81 million pretax
during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Corporation anticipates that additional
pretax restructuring related charges of approximately $100 million will be
expensed as incurred throughout 2000. The

Company's allocable share of these expenses were immaterial in 1999 and are
expected to be immaterial in 2000.


8. INCOME TAXES

For 1996, the Company filed a separate federal income tax return. Beginning in
1997, the Company joined the Corporation and its other eligible domestic
subsidiaries (the "Allstate Group") in the filing of a consolidated federal
income tax return and is party to a federal income tax allocation agreement (the
"Allstate Tax Sharing Agreement"). Under the Allstate Tax Sharing Agreement, the
Company pays to or receives from the Corporation the amount, if any, by which
the Allstate Group's federal income tax liability is affected by virtue of
inclusion of the Company in the consolidated federal income tax return.
Effectively, this results in the Company's annual income tax provision being
computed, with adjustments, as if the Company filed a separate return.

Prior to June 30, 1995, the Corporation was a subsidiary of Sears Roebuck & Co.
("Sears") and was, with its eligible domestic subsidiaries, included in the
Sears consolidated federal income tax return and federal income tax allocation
agreement. Effective June 30, 1995, the Corporation and Sears entered into a new
tax sharing agreement, which governs their respective rights and obligations
with respect to federal income taxes for all periods during which the
Corporation was a subsidiary of Sears, including the treatment of audits of tax
returns for such periods.

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its review of the Allstate
Group's federal income tax returns through the 1993 tax year. Any adjustment
that may result from IRS examinations of tax returns are not expected to have a
material impact on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.

The components of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31,
are as follows:

9. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company's statutory capital and surplus was $141,362 and $84,865 at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's statutory net income was $4,179,
$4,698 and $3,636 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The Company prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Arizona Department of
Insurance. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include a variety of
publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), as
well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted
statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so
prescribed. The Company does not follow any permitted statutory accounting
practices that have a significant impact on statutory surplus or statutory net
income.

The NAIC's codification initiative has produced a comprehensive guide of
statutory accounting principles, which the Company will implement in January
2001. The Company's state of domicile, Arizona, has passed legislation revising
various statutory accounting requirements to conform to codification. These
requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the statutory surplus
of the Company.

DIVIDENDS
The ability of the Company to pay dividends is dependent on business conditions,
income, cash requirements of the Company and other relevant factors. The payment
of shareholder dividends by the Company without the prior approval of the state
insurance regulator is limited to formula amounts based on net income and
capital and surplus, determined in accordance with statutory accounting
practices, as well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding
twelve

months. The maximum amount of dividends that the Company can distribute during
2000 without prior approval of the Arizona Department of Insurance is $4,179.

RISK-BASED CAPITAL
The NAIC has a standard for assessing the solvency of insurance companies, which
is referred to as risk-based capital ("RBC"). The requirement consists of a
formula for determining each insurer's RBC and a model law specifying regulatory
actions if an insurer's RBC falls below specified levels. The RBC formula for
life insurance companies establishes capital requirements relating to insurance,
business, asset and interest rate risks. At December, 31 1999, RBC for the
Company was significantly above levels that would require regulatory action.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

REGULATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company's business is subject to the effects of a changing social, economic
and regulatory environment. Public and regulatory initiatives have varied and
have included employee benefit regulations, removal of barriers preventing banks
from engaging in the securities and insurance business, tax law changes
affecting the taxation of insurance companies, the tax treatment of insurance
products and its impact on the relative desirability of various personal
investment vehicles, and proposed legislation to prohibit the use of gender in
determining insurance rates and benefits. The ultimate changes and eventual
effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

From time to time the Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation
in the normal course of its business in which claims for monetary damages are
asserted. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising
from such pending or threatened litigation is not expected to have a material
effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial position of the
Company.

GUARANTY FUNDS
Under state insurance guaranty fund laws, insurers doing business
in a state can be assessed, up to prescribed limits, for certain obligations of
insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. The Company's
expenses related to these funds have been immaterial. These expenses are ceded
to ALIC under reinsurance agreements.

MARKETING AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES
Companies operating in the insurance and financial services markets have come
under the scrutiny of regulators with respect to market conduct and compliance
issues. Under certain circumstances, companies have been held responsible for
providing incomplete or misleading sales materials and for replacing existing
policies with policies that were less advantageous to the policyholder. The
Company monitors its sales materials and enforces compliance procedures to
mitigate any exposure to potential litigation. The Company is a member of the
Insurance Marketplace Standards Association, an organization which advocates
ethical market conduct.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Glenbrook Life
Variable Life Separate Account A as of December 31, 1999 (including the assets
of each of the individual sub-accounts which comprise the Account as disclosed
in Note 1), and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets
for each of the periods in the three year period then ended for each of the
individual sub-accounts which comprise the Account. These financial statements
are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the
account custodians. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Glenbrook Life Variable Life Separate
Account A as of December 31, 1999 (including the assets of each of the
individual sub-accounts which comprise the Account), and the results of
operations for each of the individual sub-accounts and the changes in their net
assets for each of the periods in the three year period then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

GLENBROOK LIFE VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  ORGANIZATION

    Glenbrook Life Variable Life Separate Account A (the "Account"), a unit
    investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
    under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is a Separate Account of Glenbrook
    Life and Annuity Company ("Glenbrook Life"). The assets of the Account are
    legally segregated from those of Glenbrook Life. Glenbrook Life is wholly
    owned by Allstate Life Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
    Allstate Insurance Company, which is wholly owned by The Allstate
    Corporation.

    Glenbrook Life issues the Glenbrook Provider Variable Life contract, the
    deposits of which are invested at the direction of the contractholders in
    the sub-accounts that comprise the Account. Absent any contract provisions
    wherein Glenbrook Life contractually guarantees either a minimum return or
    account value to the beneficiaries of the contractholders in the form of a
    death benefit, the contractholders bear the investment risk that the
    sub-accounts may not meet their stated objectives. The sub-accounts invest
    in the following underlying mutual fund portfolios (collectively the
    "Funds"):

    AIM VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS
      Capital Appreciation
      Diversified Income
      Government Securities
      Growth
      Growth and Income
      International Equity
      Global Utilities
      Value
    AMERICAN CENTURY VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS, INC.
      American Century VP Balanced
      American Century VP International
    DREYFUS VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUND
      VIF Growth and Income
      VIF Money Market
      VIF Small Company Stock
    DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.
    DREYFUS STOCK INDEX FUND
    FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND
      VIP Equity-Income
      VIP Growth
      VIP High Income
    FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II
      VIP II Contrafund
    MFS VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
      MFS Emerging Growth Series
      MFS Limited Maturity Series

    Glenbrook Life provides insurance and administrative services to the
    policyholders for a fee.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Investments consist of shares of the Funds and
    are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices at December 31, 1999.

    INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment income consists of dividends declared by the
    Funds and is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

    REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES - Realized gains and losses represent the
    difference between the proceeds from sales of portfolio shares by the
    Account and the cost of such shares, which is determined on a weighted
    average basis.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Account intends to qualify as a segregated asset
    account as defined in the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). As such, the
    operations of the Account are included in the tax return of Glenbrook Life.
    Glenbrook Life is taxed as a life insurance company under the Code. No
    federal income taxes are allocable to the Account as the Account did not
    generate taxable income.

    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 amounts reported in the financial
    statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

                                       23

3.  EXPENSES

    MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS - Glenbrook Life charges each contractholder monthly for
    cost of insurance, tax expense and administrative expense. The cost of
    insurance is based upon several variables, including the contractholder's
    death benefit and the Account value. Tax expense is charged at an annual
    rate equal to .40% of the Account value for the first ten contract years.
    Glenbrook Life deducts a monthly administration fee equal to .25% per annum
    of Account value.

    MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE - Glenbrook Life assumes mortality and
    expense risks related to the operations of the Account and deducts charges
    daily at a rate equal to .90% per annum of the daily net assets of the
    Account. The mortality and expense risk charge covers insurance benefits
    available with the contract and certain expenses of the contract. It also
    covers the risk that the current charges will not be sufficient in the
    future to cover the cost of administering the contract.

    CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE - Glenbrook Life deducts an annual maintenance
    fee of $35 on each contract anniversary. This charge will be waived on
    contracts with an aggregate premium amount of $50,000.

prospectus(es)   contained   herein,  or  any  variations   therein,   based  on
supplements,  endorsements,  or riders to any  Contracts or  prospectus(es),  or
otherwise.


RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

The  By-Laws of  Glenbrook  Life and  Annuity  Company  ("Depositor")  which are
incorporated  herein by reference  as Exhibit 1 (A)(6)(b),  provide that it will
indemnify its officers and  directors for certain  damages and expenses that may
be incurred in the performance of their duty to Depositor. No indemnification is
provided,  however,  when such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the  performance  of his or her duty,  unless  indemnification  is
deemed appropriate by the court upon application. Insofar as indemnification for
liability  arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the
opinion of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  such  indemnification  is
against  public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore,  unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other
than the payment by the  Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXHIBIT 10                                              April 27, 2000

ACTUARIAL OPINION

This  opinion is  furnished  in  connection  with the  filing of  Post-Effective
Amendment  No.  5  to   Registration   Statement  No.   333-02581  on  Form  S-6
("Registration Statement"), by the Glenbrook Life Variable Life Separate Account
A (the "Separate  Account") and Glenbrook Life and Annuity  Company  ("Glenbrook
Life") covering an indefinite  amount of interests under certain modified single
premium variable life insurance  policies (the "Policies")  offered by Glenbrook
Life in each  state  where  they have been  approved  by the  appropriate  state
insurance authorities.  Premiums received under the Policies may be allocated by
Glenbrook Life to the Separate  Account as described in the Prospectus  included
in the Registration Statement.

As an Actuary with the Allstate Life Companies, I have reviewed the Policy forms
and I am familiar with the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto. It is my
opinion that the illustrations of death benefits,  policy values,  and surrender
values in  Exhibit  11  included  in the  Registration  Statement,  based on the
assumptions  stated  in  the  illustrations,  are  consistent  with  the  Policy
provisions.  The  Policy  rate  structure  has not  been  designed  to make  the
relationship  between  premiums  and  benefits,  as shown in the  illustrations,
appear more favorable to prospective 45-, 55-, and 65-year-old  insureds than to
insureds  at other  ages.  The  standard  rate class has a more  favorable  rate
structure than the special rate class. Female rate classes generally have a more
favorable guaranteed maximum rate structure than male rate classes.

The current and guaranteed  monthly  mortality  rates used in the  illustrations
have not  been  designed  so as to make the  relationship  between  current  and
guaranteed rates more favorable for the ages and sexes illustrated than for male
and female  insureds at other ages.  The standard  rate class has lower  monthly
mortality rates than the special rate class.  Female rate classes generally have
a more favorable guaranteed maximum rate structure than male rate classes.

I hereby  consent to the use of this  opinion as an Exhibit to the  Registration
Statement  and the  reference  to my name  under the  heading  "Experts"  in the
Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     /s/ Matt Monson

                                                     Matt Monson, FSA, MAAA
                                                     Actuary




              ILLUSTRATIONS OF ACCOUNT VALUES, CASH SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH
                           BENEFITS, AND ACCUMULATED PREMIUMS

The tables below  illustrate  the way the Contracts  operate.  They show how the
Death  Benefit,  Account  Value  and Cash  Surrender  Value  could  vary over an
extended  period of time  assuming  hypothetical  gross  rates of return  (i.e.,
investment income and capital gains and losses,  realized or unrealized) for the
Variable  Account equal to annual rates of 0%, 6%, and 12%. The tables are based
on an initial  premium of $10,000 and also show the initial  Death Benefit based
on that  premium.  The insureds  are assumed to be in the standard  underwriting
class.  Values are first given based on current  Contract charges and then based
on  guaranteed   Contract  charges  (See  Prospectus  heading   "Deductions  and
Charges").  These tables may assist in the comparison of Death Benefits, Account
Values and Cash  Surrender  Values for the  Contracts  with  those  under  other
variable life insurance contracts that may be issued by other companies.

Death Benefits, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values for a Contract would be
different from the amounts shown if the actual investment return averaged 0%, 6%
or 12%, but varied above and below that average for individual  Contract  Years.
They would also be different, depending on the allocation of Account Value among
the Variable  Account's Variable  Sub-Accounts,  if the actual investment return
for all Variable  Sub-Accounts averaged 0%, 6% or 12%, but varied above or below
that average for individual Variable Sub-Accounts. They would also differ if the
initial  premium paid were different,  if additional  premiums were paid, if any
Contract  loan or  partial  withdrawal  were  made  during  the  period  of time
illustrated, or if the insured were in another risk class.

The Death Benefits, Account Values and Cash Surrender Values shown in the tables
reflect  the fact that:  a Monthly  Deduction  Amount  (consisting  of a cost of
insurance charge, tax expense charge,  and an administrative  expense charge) is
deducted  from  Account  Value  each  Monthly  Activity  Date and that an Annual
Maintenance  Fee of $35 is  deducted  on  each  Contract  Anniversary  from  all
Variable  Sub-Accounts  to which Account  Value is allocated.  The values in the
tables also  reflect a deduction  from the  Variable  Account of a daily  charge
equal to an annual rate of 0.90% for the mortality and expense risk charge.  The
Cash  Surrender  Value shown in the tables  reflect  the fact that a  Withdrawal
Charge is imposed on  withdrawals in excess of the Free  Withdrawal  Amount (See
Prospectus heading "Deductions and Charges"). The amounts shown in the table are
based on an average  of the  investment  advisory  fees and  operating  expenses
incurred by the  Portfolios,  at an annual rate of .85% of the average daily net
assets of the Portfolios (See Prospectus heading "Charges Against the Fund").

Taking account of the average investment  advisory fee and operating expenses of
the Portfolios, the gross annual rates of return of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to
net  investment  experience  at constant  annual rates of:  (-.87%,  5.13%,  and
11.13%,) respectively.

The  hypothetical  rates of return  shown in the tables do not  reflect  any tax
charges attributable to the Variable Account since no such charges are currently
made.  If any such  charges are imposed in the future,  the gross annual rate of
return would have to exceed the rates shown by an amount sufficient to cover the
tax charges,  in order to produce the Account Values, Cash Surrender Values, and
Death Benefits illustrated.

The second  column of each table shows the amount that would  accumulate  if the
initial  premium of $10,000 were invested to earn interest,  after taxes,  of 5%
per year, compounded annually.

Glenbrook Life will furnish upon request a personalized  illustration reflecting
the  proposed  insured's  age,  sex,  and  underwriting  classification.   Where
applicable,  Glenbrook Life will also furnish upon request an illustration for a
Contract that is not affected by the sex of the insured.

SHOWN. THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE, AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A CONTRACT
WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF THE ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO
THE CONTRACT  AVERAGES 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS,  BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED ABOVE OR
BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL  CONTRACT  YEARS.  THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT
VALUE, AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A CONTRACT WILL ALSO BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE
SHOWN,  DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND
THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT.  NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE THAT
THIS  HYPOTHETICAL  RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED
OVER ANY PERIOD

        THE  HYPOTHETICAL  INVESTMENT  RESULTS SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE  ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A  REPRESENTATION  OF
PAST OR FUTURE INVESTMENT RESULTS. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN. THE DEATH BENEFIT, ACCOUNT VALUE, AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A CONTRACT
WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF THE ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURN APPLICABLE TO
THE CONTRACT  AVERAGES 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS,  BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED ABOVE OR
BELOW THAT AVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUAL  CONTRACT  YEARS.  THE DEATH BENEFIT,  ACCOUNT
VALUE, AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A CONTRACT WILL ALSO BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE
SHOWN,  DEPENDING ON THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE TO THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND
THE RATES OF RETURN OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT.  NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE THAT
THIS  HYPOTHETICAL  RATE OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED
OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.
