                           Report of Independent Auditors

The Unit Holders and Board of Directors
Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life 
     Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company (the Separate Account)
(comprised of Select Ten Plus Division-June, Select Ten Plus Division-September
and Select Ten Plus Division-December), including the schedules of investments,
as of December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations and changes in
net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit 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 and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and
financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned
at December 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian. As to securities
relating to uncompleted transactions, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the divisions of the Separate Account at December 31, 1998, and the results
of their operations, changes in their net assets, and financial highlights for
each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

               Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company

                            Notes to Financial Statements

                                  December 31, 1998


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company (the "Separate
Account") was formed on February 4, 1998. The Separate Account is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a management investment company.
Contributions to the Separate Account are currently limited to PINNACLE contract
holders and SYNDICATED SELECT TEN PLUS contract holders. PINNACLE and
SYNDICATED SELECT TEN PLUS are flexible premium variable annuity products issued
by Integrity Life Insurance Company ("Integrity"). The Separate Account is
currently divided into four divisions: Select Ten Plus Division-March, Select
Ten Plus Division-June, Select Ten Plus Division-September, and Select Ten Plus
Division-December ("Division(s)"). Each Division is a non-diversified
investment company which invests directly in securities. The Divisions seek
total return by acquiring the ten highest yielding stocks in the Dow Jones
Industrial Average ("DJIA") in equal weights and holding them for approximately
twelve months.  Each Division is open for new investments on only one day of
each year. The twelve month holding period begins on the last business day of
the month for which the Division is named. For example, the Select Ten Plus
Division-June invests only on the last business day of June each year. As of
December 31, 1998, the March Division was the only Division that did not have
invested assets. The assets of the Separate Account are owned by Integrity.

ARM Securities Corporation ("ARM Securities"), a registered broker-dealer under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., distributes units of the Separate Account. Integrity
Capital Advisors, Inc. ("Integrity Capital"), an  investment adviser registered
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, provides management services to the
Separate Account pursuant to a management agreement.  National Asset Management
Corporation ("National Asset"), an investment adviser registered under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, serves as the sub-adviser of the Divisions
pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement.

ARM Financial Group, Inc. ("ARM") is the ultimate parent of Integrity, Integrity
Capital and ARM Securities. ARM specializes in the growing asset accumulation
business with particular emphasis on retirement savings and investment products.
At December 31, 1998, ARM had approximately $9.9 billion of assets under
management.

               Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company

                      Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Common stocks are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they
are primarily traded.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

Securities transactions are accounted for as of trade date net of brokerage
fees, commissions and transfer fees.  Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily.  Realized gains and losses
on sales of investments are determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out
method for all of the Divisions.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

Operations of the Separate Account are included in the income tax return of
Integrity, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
Code.  The Separate Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under existing federal income
tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income or on the capital gains
of the Separate Account.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

2.   EXPENSES

Integrity assumes mortality and expense risks and incurs certain administrative
expenses related to the operations of the Separate Account and deducts a charge
from the assets of the Divisions at an annual rate of 1.20% and 0.15% of average
daily net assets, respectively, to cover these risks and expenses. In addition,
an annual charge of $30 per contract is assessed if the contract holder's
account value is less than $50,000 at the end of any participation year prior to
the contract holder's retirement date (as defined by the contract).

3.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND PAYMENTS TO RELATED PARTIES

Integrity Capital serves as investment adviser for the Divisions and National
Asset serves as the sub-adviser for the Divisions. For providing investment
management services to the Divisions, Integrity Capital receives a monthly fee
based on an annual rate of .50% of each Division's average daily net assets.
Integrity Capital, not the Separate Account, pays sub-advisory fees to National
Asset for its services under a sub-advisory agreement at an annual rate of .10%
of the Divisions' average daily net assets up to $100 million, and .05% of the
Divisions' average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. Integrity Capital
has guaranteed it will pay National Asset a minimum sub-advisory fee of $25,000
during the Separate Account's first year of operations.  Integrity Capital has
agreed to reimburse each Division for operating expenses (excluding management
fees and mortality and expense charges) above an annual rate of .35% of the
Divisions' average net assets.

Certain officers and directors of the Separate Account are also officers of ARM,
ARM Securities, Integrity Capital, and Integrity. The Separate Account does not
pay any amounts to compensate these individuals.
