1997, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the
years then ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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  as  of  December  31,  1998  and  1997,  by
correspondence  with  the  custodian.  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.


                                      -1-

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  each  of the  respective
sub-accounts  constituting  the  Annuity  Investors  Variable  Account  B as  of
December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the results of their  operations and changes in
their net assets for the years then ended in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

(2)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation

        The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the amount reported in the financial  statements
        and  accompanying  notes.  Changes in  circumstances  could cause actual
        results to differ materially from those estimates.

        Investments

        Investments  are  valued  using  the net asset  value of the  respective
        portfolios  at the  end of  each  business  day of the  New  York  Stock
        Exchange,   with  the   exception  of  business   holidays.   Investment
        transactions  are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to
        buy or sell is executed).  The cost of investments sold is determined on
        a first-in,  first-out  basis. The Account does not hold any investments
        which are restricted as to resale.

        Net investment  income  (loss),  net realized gain (loss) and unrealized
        appreciation   (depreciation)   on  investments  are  allocated  to  the
        contracts on each valuation date based on each contract's pro rata share
        of the assets of the Account as of the beginning of the valuation date.

        Federal Income Taxes

        No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the  accompanying
        financial  statements because the operations of the Account are included
        in the total  operations  of the  Company,  which is  treated  as a life
        insurance  company for federal income tax purposes under Subchapter L of
        the Internal  Revenue Code.  Net  investment  income (loss) and realized
        gains  (losses)  will be retained in the Account and will not be taxable
        until  received  by the  contract  owner or  beneficiary  in the form of
        annuity payments or other distributions.

        Net Assets Attributable to Variable Annuity Contract Holders

        The variable  annuity  contract  reserves are  comprised of net contract
        purchase  payments less  redemptions  and benefits.  These  reserves are
        adjusted daily for the net investment  income (loss),  net realized gain
        (loss) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

                      ANNUITY INVESTORS VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                                December 31, 1998


(4)     DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES

        Although  periodic   annuitization  payments  to  contract  owners  vary
        according  to  the  investment  performance  of the  sub-accounts,  such
        payments are not affected by mortality or expense experience because the
        Company assumes the mortality and expense risks under the contracts.

        The mortality risk assumed by the Company  results from the life annuity
        payment  option in the  contracts,  in which the Company  agrees to make
        annuity payments regardless of how long a particular  annuitant or other
        payee lives.  The annuity  payments are  determined in  accordance  with
        annuity  purchase rate provisions  established at the time the contracts
        are issued. Based on the actuarial  determination of expected mortality,
        the Company is required to fund any  deficiency  in the annuity  payment
        reserves from its general account assets.

        The expense risk assumed by the Company is the risk that the  deductions
        for sales and  administrative  expenses may prove  insufficient to cover
        the actual sales and administrative  expenses. Under the Basic Contract,
        the Company  deducts a fee from the Account  each day for  assuming  the
        mortality  and expense  risks.  This fee is equal on an annual  basis to
        1.40% of the daily value of the total investments of the Account.  These
        fees  aggregated  $275,095 and $10,727 for the years ended  December 31,
        1998 and 1997, respectively.

        In connection with certain contracts in which the Company incurs reduced
        sales  and  servicing  expenses,  such as  contracts  offered  to active
        employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries  and/or  affiliates,
        the Company may offer an Enhanced Contract. Under the Enhanced Contract,
        the Company  deducts a fee from the Account  each day for  assuming  the
        mortality  and expense  risks.  This fee is equal on an annual  basis to
        1.10% of the daily value of the total investments of the Account.  These
        fees  aggregated  $3 and $0 for the years  ended  December  31, 1998 and
        1997, respectively.

        Pursuant to an administrative agreement between AAG and the Company, AAG
        subsidiaries  provide sales and  administrative  services to the Company
        and the  Account.  The  Company  may  deduct a  percentage  of  purchase
        payments  surrendered to cover sales expenses.  The percentage decreases
        to 0% from a maximum of 8.0% depending on the product and based upon the
        number of years the purchase payment has been held.

        In addition,  the Company may deduct units from  contracts  annually and
        upon full surrender to cover an  administrative  fee ranging from $30 to
        $40. These expenses  totaled $12,780 and $0 for the years ended December
        31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(5)     OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

        AAG  Securities,  Inc.,  an affiliate of the Company,  is the  principal
        underwriter and performs all variable  annuity sales functions on behalf
        of the Company.

(6)     NET ASSETS

        The following is a reconciliation of net assets at December 31, 1998:

                                                                          1998 

        Proceeds from the sales of units since organization,
           less cost of units redeemed                               $38,982,827
        Undistributed net investment income                             679,001
        Undistributed net realized gains on sale of investments          43,193
        Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments     3,710,346
                                                                     ----------

        Net assets, end of period                                    $43,415,367


(7)     YEAR 2000 (Unaudited)


        To date, the Company has completed its assessment and remediation of all
        systems  that could be  significantly  affected  by the Year  2000.  The
        Company is  currently  testing its  software  and hardware for Year 2000
        readiness.  It is  anticipated  that this process will be completed in a
        timely manner.  However,  if testing is not completed  timely,  the Year
        2000 Issue could have an impact on the operations of the Company.

        The  Company's  operations  could also be affected by the  inability  of
        third parties to become Year 2000 compliant. Various investment advisors
        who  are  not   affiliated   with  the  Company  manage  the  investment
        sub-accounts  included  in  Separate  Account  B.  Like  most  financial
        organizations,  investment  advisors  have been  working  diligently  to
        address  Year  2000  issues.  The  Company  does not  expect  any of the
        investment  advisors  to  provide  Year 2000  assurance  on the  various
        sub-accounts  before the second  quarter of 1999. The inability of third
        parties to complete the Year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion
        could materially  impact the Company.  The effect of  non-compliance  by
        significant third parties is not determinable.
