1.    GENERAL

      First  Great-West  Life & Annuity  Insurance  Company  (the  Company) is a
      wholly-owned  subsidiary of Great-West  Life & Annuity  Insurance  Company
      (the Parent  Corporation).  The Company was  incorporated  as a stock life
      insurance company in the State of New York and was capitalized on April 4,
      1997. The Company was licensed as an insurance company in the State of New
      York on May 28, 1997.

      The  financial  statements  and related notes of First  Great-West  Life &
      Annuity  Insurance  Company (the Company) have been prepared in accordance
      with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  applicable  to  interim
      financial  reporting  and  do not  include  all  of  the  information  and
      footnotes  required for complete financial  statements.  In the opinion of
      management,  all  adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals)
      considered  necessary for a fair  presentation  have been included.  These
      financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  audited
      financial  statements  and notes  thereto for the year ended  December 31,
      1997.  The  results  of  operations  for  the  interim   periods  are  not
      necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year
      ended December 31, 1998.

      On June 19,  1998  the  Company  received  an  additional  paid-in-capital
      contribution of $8,600.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of Financial
      Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".
      This  Statement  establishes  new  rules  for  reporting  and  display  of
      comprehensive  income and its  components;  however,  the adoption of this
      Statement  had no  impact on the  Company's  net  income or  shareholders'
      equity.  This  Statement  requires  unrealized  gains  or  losses  on  the
      Company's  available-for-sale  securities,  which prior to  adoption  were
      reported  separately  in  shareholders'  equity,  to be  included in other
      comprehensive   income.   Prior  year  financial   statements   have  been
      reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130.

      In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)  issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 "Accounting for
      Derivative  Instruments  and  for  Hedging  Activities".   This  Statement
      provides a comprehensive  and consistent  standard for the recognition and
      measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. This Statement requires
      that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the balance sheet
      at fair value. If the derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument
      changes in fair value are to be  recognized  in  earnings in the period of
      change. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be designated as a
      hedge, in which case the accounting for a change in fair value will depend
      on the specific exposure being hedged. This Statement is effective for all
      fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, and earlier
      adoption is  encouraged.  The Company has not adopted this Statement as of
      June 30, 1998. Management estimates the effect of the change will not have
      a material affect on the Company's financial statements.

      During  the  three  and six  months  ended  June  30,  1998,  total  other
      comprehensive income amounted to $2 and $233, respectively.

      The following  discussion addresses the financial condition of the Company
      as of June 30, 1998,  compared with December 31, 1997,  and its results of
      operations  for the quarter and six months ended June 30,  1998,  compared
      with  the  same  periods  last  year.  The  discussion  should  be read in
      conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis section included
      in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year-ended  December 31, 1997
      to which the reader is directed for additional information.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Company sold one $50 million
      single premium  Bank-owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policy.  The remainder of
      the sales have been individual  variable annuites sold through a marketing
      agreement  with Charles  Schwab & Co. The  contributions  received for the
      variable annuities included in the Separate Account are over $7.6 million.

      There were no sales of fixed income  annuities  without  significant  life
      contingencies during the six months ended June 30, 1998. The net income of
      $330 thousand reflects fees associated with variable business,  investment
      income on surplus  less the  operating  expenses  associated  with the new
      operations.

      In the months ahead, the Company will continue to focus its efforts on new
      sales while continuing to develop other products for submission to the New
      York Department of Insurance for approval.

      General  Account  Investments - The Company's  investment  strategies  and
      portfolios  are intended to match the duration of the related  liabilities
      and provide  sufficient cash flow to meet obligations  while maintaining a
      competitive  rate  of  return.   The  duration  of  these  investments  is
      monitored,  and  investment  purchases  and  sales are  executed  with the
      objective of having  adequate  funds  available  to satisfy the  Company's
      maturing liabilities.

      It is management's philosophy that the portfolio of fixed maturities be of
      high  quality.  The  fixed  maturities  in  the  Company's  portfolio  are
      generally rated by external rating agencies,  and if not externally rated,
      are rated by the Company on a basis believed to be similar to that used by
      rating agencies. The credit rating on the fixed maturity portfolio at June
      30, 1998 is AAA.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1998, net  unrealized  gains on fixed
      maturities   included   in   stockholders'   equity,   which   is  net  of
      policyholder-related  amounts and deferred income taxes, increased surplus
      by $233 resulting in accumulated other comprehensive income of $238.

      Liquidity  and Capital  Resources - Liquidity for the Company has remained
      strong as evidenced by significant amounts of cash. Generally, the Company
      has met its operating  requirements by maintaining  appropriate  levels of
      liquidity in its investment portfolio.

      The Company's  capital  resources  represent funds available for long-term
      business  commitments  and  primarily  consist  of  stockholder's  equity.
      Capital resources  provide  protection for policyholders and the financial
      strength to support the  underwriting  of insurance  risks,  and allow for
      continued  business  growth.  The amount of capital  resources that may be
      needed is  determined  by the  Company's  senior  management  and Board of
      Directors,  as well  as by  regulatory  requirements.  The  allocation  of
      resources to new long-term business  commitments is designed to achieve an
      attractive  return,  tempered  by  considerations  of risk and the need to
      support the Company's existing business.
