REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Receiver of Monarch Life Insurance Company
and Policyholders of Variable Account A of Monarch Life Insurance Company
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Money Reserve, Intermediate
Government Bond, Long-Term Corporate Bond, Capital Stock, Growth Stock, Multiple
Strategy, High Yield, Natural Resources, Global Strategy, Balanced, and U.S.
Treasury Securities, Series A through K 1994 Trust through 2011 Trust, 2013
Trust and 2014 Trust Divisions (constituting Variable Account A of Monarch Life
Insurance Company) at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of each of
their operations and changes in their net assets for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of
Monarch Life Insurance Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 1996, by
correspondence with the Series Fund and Trusts, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

VARIABLE ACCOUNT A
OF MONARCH LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION
Variable Account A of Monarch Life Insurance Company (the Account) is a
segregated account of Monarch Life Insurance Company (Monarch Life) and is
registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (1940 Act), and is currently comprised of twenty-seven investment
divisions. Ten of the divisions each invest solely in the shares of the ten
corresponding portfolios of the Merrill Lynch Series Fund, Inc. (Series Fund), a
no-load, open-end, diversified, series management investment company registered
under the 1940 Act. The Series Fund's investment advisor is Merrill Lynch Asset
Management, L.P. Seventeen of the divisions each invest solely in the units of
the seventeen corresponding series trusts of The Merrill Lynch Fund of Stripped
(AZero@) U.S. Treasury Securities, Series A through K (the Trusts), which is
registered under the 1940 Act as a unit investment trust. The sponsor of the
Trusts is Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. Under applicable insurance
law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and
distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Monarch Life. The portion
of the Account's assets applicable to the variable life insurance policies is
not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Monarch Life
may conduct.
The change in net assets maintained in the Account provides the basis for the
periodic determination of the amount of increased or decreased benefits under
the policies. The net assets may not be less than the amount required under
state insurance law to provide for death benefits (without regard to the minimum
death benefit guarantee) and other policy benefits. Additional assets are held
in Monarch Life's general account to cover the contingency that the guaranteed
minimum death benefit might exceed the death benefit which would have been
payable in the absence of such guarantee.
Monarch Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal Reinsurance Company (Regal
Re). On June 9, 1994, the Insurance Commissioner of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the Commissioner) was appointed receiver (the Receiver) of
Monarch Life in a rehabilitation proceeding pending before the Supreme Judicial
Court for Suffolk County, Massachusetts (the Court). A term sheet dated July 19,
1994 (the Term Sheet) among the Commissioner (in her capacity as Commissioner
and Receiver) and certain of Regal Re shareholders and noteholders and holders
of Monarch Life's surplus notes (representing approximately 85% of both the
total outstanding Regal Re notes and common stock) (the Holders) was approved by
the Court on September 1, 1994. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Holders
transferred their notes and stock into voting trusts for which the Commissioner
is the sole trustee, which effectively vests control of Monarch Life and Regal
Re in the Commissioner.
On January 31, 1997, the Receiver, with Court approval, appointed a Special
Deputy Receiver for Monarch Life. The Special Deputy Receiver is responsible for
the management of Monarch Life=s operations and reports to the Receiver as has
been the case with Monarch Life=s President, who recently announced plans to
retire at the end of the first quarter of 1997. The Receiver=s active
involvement in the rehabilitation of Monarch Life will not change.
Insurance departments of various jurisdictions have either suspended Monarch
Life's certificate of authority, ordered Monarch Life to cease writing new
business, or have requested a voluntary suspension of sales. In addition,
Monarch Life's certificate of authority has been revoked by the insurance
departments of the states of Louisiana (1994), Michigan (1995), Missouri (1994),
and Wyoming (1992).
Monarch Life currently limits its business to maintaining its existing
disability income insurance, variable life, and annuity business. Monarch Life
ceased issuing new variable life insurance policies and new annuity contracts
effective May 1, 1992, and new disability income insurance policies effective
June 15, 1993.
The assets of the Account are not available to meet the general obligations of
Monarch Life or Regal Re and are held for the exclusive benefit of the
policyholders participating in the Account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Account in preparation of its financial statements. Preparation
of financial statements requires the use of estimates made by management. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENTS: The investments in shares of the Series Fund and units of
the Trusts are stated at the net asset value per share and per unit of
the respective portfolios and series trusts of the Series Fund and the
Trusts. Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
shares and units are purchased or sold. The cost of shares and units
sold and redeemed is determined on the first-in, first-out method.
Dividend and capital gain distributions received from the Series Fund
and the Trusts are reinvested in additional shares and units of the
Series Fund and the Trusts and are recorded as income by the Account on
the ex-dividend date. Capital gains distributions are included in
dividend income in the statements of operations and changes in net
assets.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: For federal income tax purposes, operations of
the Account are combined with those of Monarch Life which is taxed as a
life insurance company. Under existing federal income tax law,
investment income (dividends) and capital gains attributable to the
Account are not taxed.
NOTE 3 - EXPENSES
Monarch Life assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of
the Account and deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account to cover
these risks. The daily charge varies by policy form and is currently equal to a
rate of .50% to .90% (on an annual basis) of the policyholders' investment base.
Monarch Life makes certain deductions from the annual or single premium before
such amounts are transferred to the Account. The deductions are for (1) premiums
for optional benefits, (2) additional premiums for extra mortality risks, (3)
sales load, and (4) state premium taxes.
For certain single premium policies, the sum of deductions (3) and (4) is
included in the investment base of a policyholder in the Account on the policy
issue date. Thereafter, this allocated policy loading is subtracted from that
policyholder's investment base in equal installments at the beginning of the
second through eleventh policy years.
NOTE 4-TRANSACTION CHARGES
Monarch Life pays all transaction charges to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Inc., on the sale of units of the Trusts to the Account and deducts a
daily asset charge against the assets of each series trust division in the
Account for the reimbursement of these transaction charges. The daily charge is
currently equal to a rate of .34% (on annual basis) of the policyholders'
investment base.
NOTE 5-PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING AND GENERAL DISTRIBUTOR
Since June 13, 1995, Baystate Capital Services, Inc. (BCSI), has been the
principal underwriter and general distributor of the contracts maintained in the
Account. BCSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monarch Life. Prior to June 13,
1995, the function of principal underwriter and general distributor was
performed by First Variable Capital Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
First Variable Life Insurance Company (FVL). Prior to September 22, 1994, FVL
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monarch Life. Effective September 22, 1994, FVL
is no longer an affiliate of Monarch Life.

NOTE 6-AMOUNTS RETAINED
The amount retained by Monarch Life in the Account includes unamortized
allocated policy loading (see Note 3), in part and may be transferred in future
periods by Monarch Life to its general account. The total unamortized allocated
policy loading ($745,587 at December 31, 1996 and $1,571,802 at December 31,
1995) is in excess of the amount retained by Monarch Life because of amounts
provided for future policy benefits ($347,626 at December 31, 1996 and $404,427
at December 31, 1995) which are included in the net assets for variable life
policies at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

NOTE 8-DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code),
a variable life insurance policy, other than a policy issued in connection with
certain types of employee benefit plans, will not be treated as a life insurance
policy for federal tax purposes for any period for which the investments of the
segregated asset account, on which the policy is based, are not adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under Section 817(h) of the
Code. Monarch Life believes, based on assurances from the Series Fund and the
Trusts, that the Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations.
