Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO") is incorporated under the
insurance laws of the State of Illinois. KILICO is licensed in the District
of Columbia and all states except New York. KILICO is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), a nonoperating holding company.
On January 4, 1996, an investor group comprised of Zurich Insurance Company
("Zurich"), Insurance Partners, L.P. ("IP") and Insurance Partners Offshore
(Bermuda), L.P. (together with IP, "Insurance Partners") acquired all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of Kemper. As a result of the change
in control, Zurich and Insurance Partners indirectly and directly own 80
percent and 20 percent, respectively, of Kemper and therefore KILICO.
The consolidated financial statements of KILICO prior to January 4, 1996,
were prepared on a historical cost basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In conjunction with the
acquisition, GAAP requires that the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of KILICO as of January 4, 1996 (the acquisition date) and as
of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996, be prepared in
conformity with purchase accounting.
Under purchase accounting KILICO's assets and liabilities have been marked to
their relative fair market values as of the acquisition date. The
difference between the cost of acquiring KILICO and the net fair market
values of KILICO's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date is
recorded as goodwill. KILICO is amortizing goodwill on a straight-line
basis over twenty-five years.
Purchase accounting adjustments primarily affected the recorded historical
values of bonds, mortgage loans, other invested assets, deferred insurance
acquisition costs, future policy benefits and deferred income taxes.
Deferred insurance acquisition costs, and the related amortization thereof,
for policies sold prior to January 4, 1996 have been replaced by the value
of business acquired.
The value of business acquired reflects the estimated fair value of KILICO's
life insurance business in force and represents the portion of the cost to
acquire KILICO that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future
cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of acquisition.
Such value is the present value of the actuarially determined projected cash
flows for the acquired policies.
A 15 percent discount rate was used to determine such value as the rate of
return required by Zurich and Insurance Partners to invest in the business
being acquired. In selecting the rate of return used to value the policies
purchased, KILICO considered the magnitude of the risks associated with each
of the actuarial assumptions used in determining expected future cash flows,
the cost of capital available to fund the acquisition, the perceived
likelihood of changes in insurance regulations and tax laws, the complexity
of KILICO's business, and the prices paid (i.e., discount rates used in
determining other life insurance company valuations) on similar blocks of
business sold in recent periods.
6
<PAGE>
The value of the business acquired is amortized using current assumptions
based on an interest rate equal to the liability or contract rate on the
value of business acquired. The estimated amortization and accretion of
interest for the value of business acquired for each of the years in the
five year period ended December 31, 2000 are as follows:
<TABLE>

2000 113,914 (22,279) 5,270 96,905
</TABLE>
The projected ending balance of the value of business acquired will be further
adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturities
held as available for sale in the investment portfolio. Such adjustments are
not recorded in KILICO's net income but rather are recorded as a credit or
charge to stockholder's equity, net of income tax. As of March 31, 1996, this
adjustment increased the value of business acquired and stockholder's equity by
approximately $4.4 million.
2. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals have been made for a fair statement of the results of
KILICO for the periods included in these financial statements. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. The change in net unrealized losses on fixed maturities and equity
securities is not reflected as a component of KILICO's net income.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As previously discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements,
Kemper, and therefore KILICO, were acquired on January 4, 1996 by an investor
group led by Zurich. In connection with the acquisition, KILICO's assets and
liabilities were marked to their respective fair market values as of the
acquisition date in conformity with purchase accounting adjustments required
under GAAP.
KILICO's financial statement results as of January 4, 1996, and as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, have been adjusted to reflect the effects
of such purchase accounting adjustments. KILICO's financial statement results
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 have been prepared on a historical
cost basis and do not reflect such purchase accounting adjustments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
KILICO recorded net income of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared with net income of $14.9 million in the first quarter of 1995. The
decline in net income in the first quarter of 1996, compared with the first
quarter of 1995, was primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments.

</TABLE>
Other realized investment losses for both the first quarter of 1996 and 1995
relate primarily to the sale of fixed maturity investments.
Operating earnings (net income excluding realized investment results) declined
to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared with $15.8 million in the
first quarter of 1995, primarily due to purchase accounting adjustments in the
first quarter of 1996 which negatively impacted spread revenue and increased
expenses. These reductions were partially offset by purchase accounting
adjustments which favorably impacted the net deferral of deferred insurance
acquisition costs.
8
<PAGE>
Reflecting the current interest rate environment and other competitive market
factors, KILICO adjusts its crediting rates on interest-sensitive products over
time in order to balance spread revenue and policyholder surrender and
withdrawal activity. KILICO can also improve spread revenue by increasing
investment income over time.
Investment income was negatively impacted in the first quarter of 1996, compared
with the first quarter of 1995, primarily reflecting purchase accounting
adjustments related to the amortization of premiums on fixed maturity
investments. Under purchase accounting, the market value of KILICO's fixed
maturity investments as of January 4, 1996 became KILICO's new cost basis in
such investments. The difference between the new cost basis and original par is
then amortized against investment income over the remaining effective lives of
the fixed maturity investments. As a result of the interest rate environment
as of January 4, 1996, the market value of KILICO's fixed maturity investments
was approximately $105.3 million greater than original par. The amortization
of such premiums reduced investment income by approximately $8.3 million in the
first quarter of 1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995.
Investment income was also negatively impacted during the first quarter of 1996,
compared with the first quarter of 1995, by a higher level of cash and short-
term investments held in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in cash and
short-term investments in the first quarter of 1996 was caused in part by the
cash proceeds received from bulk sales of real estate-related investments in
late December 1995. The reduction in real estate-related investments reflects
KILICO's current strategy to continue to reduce its investments in, and overall
exposure to, real estate-related investments. Investment income for 1996 and
1995 has also been impacted by a shift over the last several years to higher-
quality, lower yielding investments.

===== =====
</TABLE>
Sales of annuity products consist of total deposits received. The increase in
1996 general account (fixed annuity) sales is reflective of the current interest
rate environment. KILICO's longer-term strategy is to direct its sales efforts
toward separate account (variable annuity) products, which increase
administrative fees earned and pose minimal investment risk for KILICO as
policyholders invest in one or more of several underlying investment funds.
Despite this strategy, separate account sales declined in 1996, compared with
1995, due to competitive conditions in certain distribution channels. KILICO
believes that the increase in its financial strength and performance ratings in
January 1996, together with KILICO's association with Zurich and the addition of
new separate account investment fund options will assist in KILICO's future
sales efforts.
Included in fees and other income are administrative fees received from KILICO's
separate account products of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared
with $5.1 million in the first quarter of 1995. Administrative fee revenue
increased due to growth in average separate account assets. Other income also
included surrender charge revenue of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared with $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease in
surrender charge revenue reflects a significant reduction in total general
account and separate account policyholder surrenders and withdrawals in the
first quarter of 1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995.

</TABLE>
KILICO increased crediting rates in early 1995 in order to reduce the level of
future withdrawals. KILICO expects that the level of future surrender and
withdrawal activity, compared with such activity experienced in the first
quarter of 1996, could be adversely affected by the rising interest rates
experienced in the first quarter of 1996. However, KILICO believes that
Zurich's majority ownership and upgrades in KILICO's ratings in January 1996
will help to mitigate the effects of such rising interest rates on policyholder
surrenders and withdrawals.
The difference between the cost of acquiring KILICO and the net fair market
value of KILICO's assets and liabilities as of January 4, 1996 was recorded
as goodwill. The amortization of goodwill negatively impacted expenses by $2.5
million in the first quarter of 1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995.
KILICO is amortizing goodwill on a straight-line basis over twenty-five years.
Operating earnings were favorably impacted by the net deferral of insurance
acquisition costs and the amortization of the value of business acquired in the
first quarter of 1996, compared with the net amortization of deferred insurance
acquisition costs in the first quarter of 1995. Deferred insurance acquisition
costs, and the related amortization thereof, for policies sold prior to January
4, 1996 have been replaced under purchase accounting by the value of business
acquired. The value of business acquired reflects the present value of the
right to receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the
date of acquisition. The amortization of the value of business acquired is
based on an interest rate equal to the liability or contract rate on the value
of the business acquired. Deferred insurance acquisition costs are established
on all new policies sold after January 4, 1996.
The net amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs in the first
quarter of 1995 was adversely affected by the level of policyholder surrenders
and withdrawals and increasing renewal crediting rates in the first quarter of
1995.
KILICO has taken many steps in the last several years to improve its earnings,
financial strength and competitive marketing position. These steps included
adjustments in crediting rates, reductions of operating expenses, reductions of
below investment-grade securities, a strategy not to embark on new real estate
projects, sales of certain real estate-related investments to affiliated non-
life realty companies, third-party sales and refinancing of certain mortgage and
other real estate loans, capital contributions and annuity reinsurance
transactions with an affiliated mutual life insurance company.
10
<PAGE>
INVESTMENTS
KILICO's principal investment strategy is to maintain a balanced, well-
diversified portfolio supporting the insurance contracts written. KILICO makes
shifts in its investment portfolio depending on, among other factors, the
interest rate environment, liability durations and changes in market and
business conditions. In addition, as previously discussed, KILICO's current
strategy is to continue to reduce its overall exposure to real estate-related
investments.

</TABLE>
Fixed maturities
KILICO is carrying its fixed maturity investment portfolio, which it considers
available for sale, at estimated fair value, with the aggregate unrealized
appreciation or depreciation being recorded as a separate component of
stockholder's equity, net of any applicable income tax expense. The aggregate
unrealized depreciation, on fixed maturities at March 31, 1996 was $93.6
million. KILICO does not record a net deferred tax benefit for the aggregate
unrealized depreciation on investments. Fair values are sensitive to movements
in interest rates and other economic developments and can be expected to
fluctuate, at times significantly, from period to period.
At March 31, 1996, investment-grade fixed maturities and cash and short-term
investments accounted for 85.5 percent of KILICO's invested assets and cash,
compared with 85.7 percent at January 4, 1996.
Approximately 41.7 percent of KILICO's investment-grade fixed maturities at
March 31, 1996 were mortgage-backed securities, down from 45.7 percent at
January 4, 1996. These investments consist primarily of marketable mortgage
pass-through securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association,
the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation and other investment-grade securities collateralized by mortgage
pass-through securities issued by these entities. KILICO has not made any
investments in interest-only or other similarly volatile tranches of mortgage-
backed securities. KILICO's mortgage-backed investments are generally of AAA
credit quality, and the markets for these investments have been and are expected
to remain liquid. KILICO plans to continue to reduce its holding of such
investments over time.
11
<PAGE>
Future investment income from mortgage-backed securities may be affected by the
timing of principal payments and the yields on reinvestment alternatives
available at the time of such payments. As a result of purchase accounting
adjustments to fixed maturities, most of KILICO's mortgage-backed securities are
carried at a premium over par. Prepayment activity resulting from a decline in
interest rates on such securities purchased at a premium would accelerate
the amortization of the premiums which would result in reductions of investment
income related to such securities. At March 31, 1996, KILICO had unamortized
premiums of $35.5 million related to mortgage-backed securities. KILICO
believes that as a result of the purchase accounting adjustments and the current
interest rate environment, anticipated prepayment activity is expected to result
in reductions to future investment income similar to those reductions
experienced by KILICO in the first quarter of 1996.
Below investment-grade securities holdings (NAIC classes 3 through 6),
representing securities of 11 issuers at March 31, 1996, totaled 1.8 percent of
cash and invested assets at March 31, 1996, compared with 1.7 percent of cash
and invested assets at January 4, 1996.
Below investment-grade securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated
to other creditors of the issuers. These issuers may have relatively higher
levels of indebtedness and be more sensitive to adverse economic conditions than
investment-grade issuers.
Real estate-related investments
The $289 million real estate portfolio held by KILICO, consisting of joint
venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related
investments, constituted 6.2 percent of cash and invested assets at March 31,
1996, compared with $288 million, or 6.1 percent, at January 4, 1996.

has continued to fund both existing projects and legal commitments. The future
legal commitments were $213.0 million at March 31, 1996. This amount
represented a net decrease of $35.2 million since January 4, 1996, primarily
due to sales and fundings in 1996. As of March 31, 1996, KILICO expects to fund
approximately $36.9 million of these legal commitments, along with providing
capital to existing projects. The disparity between total legal commitments and
the amount expected to be funded relates principally to standby financing
arrangements that provide credit enhancements to certain tax-exempt bonds, which
KILICO does not presently expect to fund. The total legal commitments, along
with estimated working capital requirements, are considered in KILICO's
evaluation of reserves and write-downs.
Generally, at the inception of a real estate loan, KILICO anticipated that it
would roll over the loan and reset the interest rate at least one time in the
future, although KILICO is not legally committed to do so. As a result of the
continued weakness in real estate markets and fairly restrictive lending
practices by other lenders in this environment, KILICO expects that all or most
loans maturing in 1996 will be rolled over, restructured or foreclosed if not
earlier disposed of.
Excluding the $14.3 million of real estate owned and $21.4 million of net equity
investments in joint ventures, KILICO's real estate loans totaled $253.7 million
at March 31, 1996. Of this amount, $249.6 million are on accrual status with a
weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.5 percent. Of these accrual
loans, 25.5 percent have terms requiring current periodic payments of their full
contractual interest, 48.4 percent require only partial payments or payments to
the extent of cash flow of the borrowers, and 26.1 percent defer all interest to
maturity.
The equity investments in real estate at March 31, 1996 consisted of KILICO's
other equity investments in joint ventures. These equity investments include
KILICO's share of periodic
12
<PAGE>
operating results. KILICO, as an equity owner or affiliate thereof, has the
ability to fund, and historically has elected to fund, operating requirements of
certain joint ventures.

Real estate concentrations
KILICO's real estate portfolio is distributed by geographic location and
property type. However, KILICO has concentration exposures in certain states
and in certain types of properties. In addition to these exposures, KILICO
also has exposures to certain real estate developers and partnerships.

Real estate markets have been depressed in recent periods in areas where most
of KILICO's real estate portfolio is located. Portions of California's and
Hawaii's real estate market conditions have continued to be worse than in many
other areas of the country. Real estate markets in northern California and
Illinois show some stabilization and improvement.
Undeveloped land represented approximately 24.7 percent of KILICO's real estate
portfolio at March 31, 1996. To maximize the value of certain land and other
projects, additional development has been proceeding or has been planned. Such
development of existing projects would continue to require funding, either from
KILICO or third parties. In the present real estate markets, third-party
financing can require credit enhancing arrangements (e.g., standby financing
arrangements and loan commitments) from KILICO. The values of development
projects are dependent on a number
13
<PAGE>
of factors, including Kemper's and KILICO's plans with respect thereto,
obtaining necessary permits and market demand for the permitted use of the
property. The values of certain development projects have been written down as
of January 4, 1996 and December 31, 1995, reflecting changes in plans in
connection with the Zurich-led acquisition of Kemper. There can be no assurance
that such permits will be obtained as planned or at all, nor that such
expenditures will occur as scheduled, nor that Kemper's and KILICO's plans with
respect to such projects may not change substantially.
The majority of KILICO's real estate loans are on properties or projects where
KILICO, Kemper, or their affiliates have taken ownership positions in joint
ventures with a small number of partners.
At March 31, 1996, loans to and investments in joint ventures in which Patrick
M. Nesbitt or his affiliates ("Nesbitt") have an interest constituted
approximately $101.6 million, or 35.2 percent of KILICO's real estate portfolio.
The Nesbitt ventures primarily consist of eleven hotel properties. At March 31,
1996, KILICO did not have any Nesbitt-related off-balance sheet legal funding
commitments outstanding.
At March 31, 1996, loans to and investments in a master limited partnership (the
"MLP") between subsidiaries of Kemper and subsidiaries of Lumbermens Mutual
Casualty Company, a former affiliate, constituted approximately $80.8 million,
or 28.0 percent, of KILICO's real estate portfolio. KILICO's interest in the
MLP is a less than one percent limited partnership interest, and Kemper's
interest is 75 percent as of December 31, 1995. At March 31, 1996, MLP-related
commitments accounted for approximately $6.6 million of KILICO's off-balance-
sheet legal commitments, which KILICO expects to fund.
At March 31, 1996, KILICO loans to and investment in projects with the Prime
Group, Inc. or its affiliates totaled approximately $7.2 million, or 2.5
percent, of KILICO's real estate portfolio. Prime Group-related commitments
accounted for $162.6 million of the off-balance sheet legal commitments at March
31, 1996, of which KILICO expects to fund $15.0 million.
Provisions for real estate-related losses
KILICO establishes real estate reserves when declines in collateral values,
estimated in light of current economic conditions and calculated in conformity
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", indicate a likelihood of loss. As of
January 4, 1996 and December 31, 1995, reflecting KILICO's change in strategy
with respect to its real estate portfolio, and the disposition thereof, real
estate-related investments were valued using an estimate of the investments
observable market price, net of estimated costs to sell.
Real estate outlook
KILICO's investment in real estate-related investments is expected to decline
further through future sales. Although the real estate-related investments have
been valued using an estimate of the investments observable market price, net of
estimated costs to sell, KILICO's net income could be materially reduced in
future periods if real estate market conditions worsen in areas where KILICO's
portfolio is located or if Kemper's and KILICO's plans with respect to certain
projects change.

<F1> These are real estate-related investments where KILICO, based on known
information, has serious doubts about the borrowers' abilities to comply
with present repayment terms and which KILICO anticipates may go into
nonaccrual, past due or restructured status.
<F2> Interest more than 90 days past due but not on nonaccrual status.
<F3> KILICO does not accrue interest on real estate-related investments when it
judges that the likelihood of collection of interest is doubtful.
<F4> KILICO defines a "restructuring" of debt as an event whereby KILICO, for
economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties,
grants a concession to the debtor it would not otherwise consider. Such
concessions either stem from an agreement between KILICO and the debtor or
are imposed by law or a court. By this definition, restructured loans do
not include any loan that, upon the expiration of its term, both repays
its principal and pays interest then due from the proceeds of a new loan
that KILICO, at its option, may extend (roll over).
</FN>
</TABLE>
KILICO continues to devote significant attention to its real estate portfolio,
enhancing monitoring of the portfolio and formulating specific action plans
addressing nonperforming and potential problem loans. KILICO is continuing to
analyze various potential transactions designed to further reduce both its joint
venture operating losses and the amount of its real estate-related investments.
Specific types of transactions under consideration (and previously utilized)
include loan sales, property sales and mortgage refinancings. However, there can
be no assurance that such efforts will result in continued improvements in the
performance of KILICO's real estate portfolio.
Net investment income
KILICO's pre-tax net investment income totaled $72.3 million in the first
quarter of 1996, compared with $90.2 million in the first quarter of 1995.
Included in pre-tax net investment income is KILICO's share of the operating
losses from equity investments in real estate consisting of other income less
depreciation, interest and other expenses. Such operating results exclude
interest expense on loans by KILICO which are on nonaccrual status.

KILICO's total foregone investment income before tax on both nonperforming fixed
maturity investments and nonaccrual real estate-related investments was as

</TABLE>
Foregone investment income from the nonaccrual of real estate-related
investments is net of KILICO's share of interest expense on these loans excluded
from KILICO's share of joint venture operating results. Any increase in
nonperforming securities, and either worsening or stagnant real estate
conditions, would increase the expected adverse effect on KILICO's future
investment income and realized investment results. Based on the level of
nonaccrual real estate-related investments at March 31, 1996, KILICO estimates
foregone investment income in 1996 will decrease compared with the 1995 level.
Future net investment income, results of operations and cash flow will reflect
KILICO's current levels of investments in investment-grade securities, real
estate fundings treated as equity investments, nonaccrual real estate loans and
joint venture operating losses. KILICO expects, however, that any adverse
effects should be offset to some extent by certain advantages that it expects to
realize over time from its other investment strategies, its product mix and its
continuing cost-control measures. Other mitigating factors include marketing
advantages that could result from KILICO having lower levels of investment risk,
higher financial strength and claims-paying ability ratings and earnings
improvements from KILICO's ability to adjust crediting rates on annuities and
interest-sensitive life products over time.
Realized investment results
Reflected in net income are after-tax realized investment losses of $.8 million
and $.9 million for the first quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity investments are not reflected in
KILICO's net income. These changes in unrealized value are included within a
separate component of stockholder's equity, net of any applicable income taxes.
If and to the extent a fixed maturity investment suffers an other-than-temporary
decline in value, however, such security is written down to net realizable
value, and the write-down adversely impacts net income.
KILICO regularly monitors its investment portfolio and as part of this process
reviews its assets for possible impairments of carrying value. Because the
review process includes estimates, there can be no assurance that current
estimates will prove accurate over time due to changing economic conditions and
other factors.
A valuation allowance is established in accordance with SFAS 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" and is evaluated as of each reported period end to reduce the
deferred tax asset for investment losses to the amount that, based upon
available evidence, is in management's judgment more likely than not to be
realized.
Interest rates
The rising interest rate environment in the first quarter of 1996 will
contribute to an increase in future net investment income as well as to both
realized and unrealized fixed maturity investment losses in 1996. Also, lower
renewal crediting rates on annuities, compared with competitors' higher new
money crediting rates influenced certain annuity holders to seek alternative
products. KILICO mitigates this risk somewhat by charging surrender fees which
16
<PAGE>
decrease over time when annuity holders withdraw funds prior to maturity on
certain annuity products. Approximately one-half of KILICO's fixed annuity
liabilities as of March 31, 1996, however, were no longer subject to significant
surrender fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
KILICO carefully monitors cash and short-term investments to maintain adequate
balances for timely payment of policyholder benefits, expenses, taxes and
policyholder's account balances. In addition, regulatory authorities establish
minimum liquidity and capital standards. The major ongoing sources of KILICO's
liquidity are deposits for fixed annuities, investment income, other operating
revenue and cash provided from maturing or sold investments. (See the
"Policyholder surrenders and withdrawals" table and related discussion and
"INVESTMENTS" above.)
Ratings
Ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of life
insurance companies. Rating organizations continue to review the financial
performance and condition of life insurers and their investment portfolios,
including those of KILICO. Any reductions in KILICO's claims-paying ability or
financial strength ratings could result in its products being less attractive
to consumers. Any reductions in KILICO's parent's ratings could also adversely
impact KILICO's financial flexibility.
Ratings reductions for Kemper or its subsidiaries and other financial events can
also trigger obligations to fund certain real estate-related commitments to take
out other lenders. In such events, those lenders can be expected to renegotiate
their loan terms, although they are not contractually obligated to do so.
Each rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning
organization and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
Following the January 4, 1996, change in control, certain of KILICO's financial
strength ratings and claims-paying ability ratings were upgraded. KILICO's
ratings are as follows:
Current Rating Prior Rating
---------------- ----------------
A.M. Best Company..................... A (Excellent) A- (Excellent)
Moody's Investor Service.............. Aa3 (Excellent) Baa1 (Adequate)
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co........ AA (Very High) A+ (High)
Standard & Poor's..................... Aq (Good) Aq (Good)
Stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity totaled $646.1 million at March 31, 1996, compared with
$733.2 million at January 4, 1996. The 1996 decrease in stockholder's equity
was primarily due to a $90.5 million decrease related to the change in the
unrealized loss position of KILICO's fixed maturity investment portfolio offset
by net income of $3.4 million.
