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-March, 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,
1999, 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, 1999, by correspondence with
the custodian and broker. As to certain 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 audits provide 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, 1999, and the results
of their operations, changes in their net assets, and financial highlights for
each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1999
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Separate Account Ten of Integrity Life Insurance Company (the "Separate
Account") was established as of 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 (the "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 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-March
invests only on the last business day of March each year. 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 provides retirement savings and investment
products through it insurance company subsidiaries. At December 31, 1999, ARM
had approximately $4.8 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 ("GAAP") 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
Security 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). Integrity
Capital has agreed to reimburse each Division for operating expenses (excluding
management fees and mortality and expense charges) above an annual rate of 0.35%
of the Divisions' average net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 0.50% of each Division's average daily net assets.
Integrity Capital, not the Separate Account, pays sub-advisory fees to National
Asset based on the combined average daily net assets of the Integrity Divisions
and the portfolios that comprise Select Ten Plus Fund, LLC of National Integrity
Life Insurance Company (collectively, the "net asset base"). Fees under the
sub-advisory agreement are paid at an annual rate of 0.10% of the net asset base
up to $100 million and 0.05% of the net asset base in excess of $100 million.
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.
4. EVENTS RELATING TO ARM AND INTEGRITY
On July 29, 1999, ARM announced that it was restructuring its institutional
business and positioning its retail business and technology operations for the
sale of ARM or its businesses or its assets. Following the July 29, 1999
announcement, the ratings of ARM and Integrity were significantly lowered
several times by four major rating agencies, materially and adversely affecting
Integrity's ability to market and maintain persistency of retail products. As a
result, ARM sought protection with respect to its insurance subsidiary,
Integrity, from the Ohio Department of Insurance. Integrity is domiciled in
Ohio. On August 20, 1999, Integrity consented to a Supervision Order issued by
the Ohio Department of Insurance, which remains in effect. Unless the Ohio
Department of Insurance begins proceedings for the appointment of a
rehabilitator or liquidator, the Supervision Order will automatically be
extended for successive 60-day periods until written notice is given to
Integrity ending the supervision.
This regulatory action is intended to ensure an orderly process for addressing
the financial obligations of Integrity and to protect the interests of its
individual policyholders. Integrity will continue payments of death benefits,
previously scheduled systematic withdrawals, previously scheduled immediate
annuity payments, and agent commissions, but must receive written consent from
the Ohio Department of Insurance for other payments. In particular, the
Supervision Order suspends the processing of surrenders of fixed annuity
policies except in cases of approved hardship. The Supervision Order does not
affect the surrender of variable annuity contracts, including the contracts
through which the Divisions of the Separate Account are offered.
On December 17, 1999 ARM announced that it had signed a definitive agreement
whereby Western and Southern Life Insurance Company ("Western and Southern")
would acquire the ARM's insurance subsidiaries, Integrity and National Integrity
Life Insurance Company.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. EVENTS RELATING TO ARM AND INTEGRITY (CONTINUED)
Western and Southern is part of the Western-Southern Enterprise, a financial
services group which also includes Western-Southern Life Assurance Company,
Columbus Life Insurance Company, Touchstone Advisors, Inc., Fort Washington
Investment Advisors, Inc., Todd Investment Advisors, Inc., Countrywide Financial
Services, Capital Analysts Incorporated and Eagle Realty Group, Inc. Assets
owned or under management by the group exceed $20 billion. Western and Southern
is rated A++ (Superior) by A.M. Best, AAA (Highest) by Duff & Phelps, AAA
(Extremely Strong) by Standard & Poor's, and Aa2 (Excellent) by Moody's.
The acquisition of the insurance companies by Western and Southern is being
implemented in a chapter 11 case filed by ARM under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of the Ohio Department
of Insurance, the New York Department of Insurance, and the Bankruptcy Court, as
well as to other customary conditions to closing. The transaction is expected to
close late in the first quarter of 2000; however, there can be no assurance as
to obtaining the required approvals or the timing of the closing of the
transaction.
Integrity Capital will not be acquired by Western and Southern. Accordingly, it
is contemplated that Integrity Capital will assign the current management
agreement between Integrity Capital and the Separate Account to Touchstone
Advisers, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Western and Southern. The
assignment of the management agreement will automatically terminate the
agreement, and will also terminate the current sub-advisory agreements between
the Separate Account and National Asset.
The Board of Managers of the Separate Account will be asked to approve new
management and sub-advisory agreements and a distribution agreement for the
Separate Account. These new agreements will be subject to contractholder
approval. The new management and sub-advisory agreements are expected to
contain the same material terms as the current management and sub-advisory
agreements. It is anticipated that the contractholders meeting will occur
early in the second quarter of 2000.
