FIRST GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)

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  quarter  ended  are  not
        necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
        ended December 31, 1998.

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.

        During the first quarter of 1998 total other comprehensive loss amounted
        to $2 thousand.

</TABLE>

        The  Company's  operations  during the three months ended March 31, 1998
        have been focused on preliminary marketing  activities.  Sales have been
        limited to  individual  annuity  products - both fixed income  annuities
        with a market value  adjustment  and variable  annuities  sold through a
        marketing agreement with Charles Schwab & Co.

        There were no sales of the fixed income  annuities  without  significant
        life  contingencies  during the three months  ended March 31, 1998.  The
        contributions  received  for  the  variable  annuities  included  in the
        Separate  Account are over $3.5 million.  The net income of $10 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
        variable 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 March 31, 1998 is AAA.

        During the three months ended March 31, 1998,  net  unrealized  gains on
        fixed  maturities  included  in  stockholders'  equity,  which is net of
        policyholder-related   amounts  and  deferred  income  taxes,  decreased
        surplus by $2 thousand  resulting  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
        income of $3 thousand.

        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.
