Washington National Variable Annuity Fund B
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998


NOTE A  -      The Fund

The Washington National Variable Annuity Fund B (the "Fund")
is a segregated investment account of Washington National
Insurance Company ("WNIC").  WNIC is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Washington National Corporation ("WNC").  The
Fund is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Fund no longer accepts
purchase payments.

On December 5, 1997, Conseco, Inc., a publicly held
specialized financial services holding company, completed
the acquisition of WNC.  The merger is not expected to
have any effect on the Fund.

NOTE B  - Investment

Investments in portfolio shares are valued using the net
asset value of the Fund at the end of each New York Stock
Exchange business day.  Investment share transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis (the date the order to
purchase or redeem shares is executed) and dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund does not hold
any investments which are restricted as to resale.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) 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 Fund as
of the beginning of the valuation date.

Realized gains and losses on investment are determined on a
specific cost basis.  The aggregate cost of purchases of
investments as of June 30, 1998 was $10,451.  The aggregate
proceeds from sales of investments as of June 30, 1998 was
$53,628.

NOTE C  -      Deductions for Mortality and Expense
Assurance

Deductions were made from the current value of the Fund and
paid to WNIC representing .000028 per daily valuation period
(annual basis of 1.022%) of the current value of the Fund
for mortality and expense assurance.

NOTE D  -  Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Fund form a part of, and are taxed
with, the operations of WNIC, which under the Internal
Revenue Code is taxed as a "life insurance company".  The
Fund will not be taxed as a regulated investment company
under subchapter M of the Code.  Under existing federal
income tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment
income or on the realized gains of the Fund.
