21. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
(UNAUDITED)
<PAGE>
During the second quarter of 1999, AFC approved a plan to exit its group life
and health insurance business, consisting of its Employee Benefit Services
("EBS") business and its accident and health assumed reinsurance pool business
("reinsurance pool business"). AFC is pursuing a sale of its EBS business during
the second half of 1999. During the third quarter of 1998, the Company ceased
writing new premium in the reinsurance pool business, subject to certain
contractual obligations. Prior to 1999, these businesses comprised substantially
all of the former Corporate Risk Management Services segment. Accordingly, the
operating results of FAFLIC's group life and health insurance business,
including its reinsurance pool business, are reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Income as discontinued operations in the second quarter of 1999 in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" ("APB No. 30"). At December 31, 1998, the businesses had assets of
approximately $480.9 million consisting primarily of invested assets, premiums
and fees receivable, and reinsurance recoverables, and liabilities of
approximately $445.3 million consisting primarily of policy liabilities.
Revenues for the discontinued operations were $398.5 million, $389.2 million and
$356.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Net (loss) income for the discontinued operations was ($13.3)
million, $16.6 million, and $17.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
AFC has made certain changes to its corporate structure effective July 1, 1999.
These changes include the transfer of FAFLIC's ownership of Allmerica P&C, as
well as several non-insurance subsidiaries, from FAFLIC to AFC. FAFLIC has
retained its ownership of AFLIAC and certain other subsidiaries. Under an
agreement with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner ("the
Commissioner"), AFC has contributed to FAFLIC capital of $125.0 million and
agreed to maintain FAFLIC's statutory surplus at specified levels during the
following six years. In addition, any dividend from FAFLIC to AFC during 2000
and 2001 would require the prior approval of the Commissioner. This
transaction was approved by the Commissioner on May 24, 1999.
In 1998, the net income of the subsidiaries, which is included in FAFLIC's
net income, to be transferred from FAFLIC to AFC pursuant to the
aforementioned change in corporate structure was $95.7 million. As of
December 31, 1998, the total assets and total shareholders' equity of these
subsidiaries were $4,033.0 million and $1,264.1 million, respectively.
On May 19, 1999, the Federal District Court in Worcester, Massachusetts
issued an order relating to the litigation mentioned in Note 18, above,
certifying the class for settlement purposes and granting final approval of
the settlement agreement.
Prior to the aforementioned change in AFC's corporate structure, on May 5,
1999 and May 11, 1999, Allmerica P&C redeemed 1,273.9 shares and 4,142.0
shares of its issued and outstanding common stock owned by AFC for $50.0
million and $175.0 million, respectively. The May 5, 1999 and May 11, 1999
transactions consisted of cash and short-term securities. After the May 11,
1999 transaction, FAFLIC's ownership of Allmerica P&C increased to 84.52%.

ITEM 30. LOCATION OF ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS
Each account, book or other document required to be maintained by
Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and Rules 31a-1 to 31a-3 thereunder
are maintained by the Company at 440 Lincoln Street, Worcester,
Massachusetts.
ITEM 31. MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Company provides daily unit value calculations and related

ITEM 32. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by
any rule or regulation of the SEC heretofore or hereafter duly
adopted pursuant to authority conferred in that section.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes to include in the prospectus
a postcard that the applicant can remove to send for a
Statement of Additional Information.
(c) The Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver a Statement of
Additional Information and any financial statements promptly
upon written or oral request, according to the requirements of
Form N-4.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933
Act may be permitted to Directors, Officers and Controlling
Persons of Registrant under any registration
<PAGE>
statement, underwriting agreement or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
Director, Officer or Controlling Person of 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, 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(e) The Company hereby undertakes that the aggregate fees and
charges under the contract are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and
the risks assumed by the Insurance Company.
ITEM 33. REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(b)
PLANS AND UNDER THE TEXAS OPTIONAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM
Registrant, a separate account of First Allmerica Financial Life
Insurance Company ("Company"), states that it is (a) relying on Rule
6c-7 under the 1940 Act with respect to withdrawal restrictions under
the Texas Optional Retirement Program ("Program") and (b) relying on
the "no-action" letter (Ref. No. IP-6-88) issued on November 28, 1988
to the American Council of Life Insurance, in applying the withdrawal
restrictions of Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b)(11). Registrant
has taken the following steps in reliance on the letter:
1. Appropriate disclosures regarding the redemption restrictions
imposed by the Program and by Section 403(b)(11) have been
included in the prospectus of each registration statement used in
connection with the offer of the Company's variable contracts.
2. Appropriate disclosures regarding the redemption restrictions
imposed by the Program and by Section 403(b)(11) have been
included in sales literature used in connection with the offer of
the Company's variable contracts.
3. Sales Representatives who solicit participants to purchase the
variable contracts have been instructed to specifically bring the
redemption restrictions imposed by the Program and by Section
403(b)(11) to the attention of potential participants.
4. A signed statement acknowledging the participant's understanding
of (i) the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program and
by Section 403(b)(11) and (ii) the investment alternatives
available under the employer's arrangement will be obtained from
each participant who purchases a variable annuity contract prior
to or at the time of purchase.
Registrant hereby represents that it will not act to deny or limit a
transfer request except to the extent that a Service-Ruling or written
opinion of counsel, specifically addressing the fact pattern involved
and taking into account the terms of the applicable employer plan,
determines that denial or limitation is necessary for the variable
annuity contracts to meet the requirements of the Program or of Section
403(b). Any transfer request not so denied or limited will be effected
as expeditiously as possible.

RE: SEPARATE ACCOUNT KGC OF FIRST ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
FILE NO.'S: 333-10395 AND 811-7771
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Assistant Vice President and Counsel of First Allmerica
Financial Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), I have participated in the
preparation of this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement for
Separate Account KGC on Form N-4 under the Securities Act of 1933 and amendment
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, with respect to the Company's
qualified and non-qualified contracts.
I am of the following opinion:
1. Separate Account KGC is a separate account of the Company validly
existing pursuant to the Massachusetts Insurance Code and the
regulations issued thereunder.
2. The assets held in Separate Account KGC are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
3. The variable annuity contracts, when issued in accordance with the
Prospectus contained in the Post-Effective Amendment to the
Registration Statement and upon compliance with applicable local law,
will be legal and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with
their terms and when sold will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law and
examined such records and other documents as in my judgment are necessary or
appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to this
Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement of Separate Account KGC
on Form N-4 filed under the Securities Act of 1933.
Very truly yours,
/s/ John C. Donlon, Jr.
John C. Donlon, Jr.
Assistant Vice President and Counsel
