Board of Directors
ReliaStar Life Insurance
Company and Contract Owners of
ReliaStar Select Variable Account:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
ReliaStar Select Variable Account as of December 31, 1996 and the related
combined statements of operations and changes in Contract Owners' equity for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the management of ReliaStar Life Insurance
Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We have conducted our audits 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 are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures include
confirmation of the securities owned as of December 31, 1996, by correspondence
with the Account custodians. 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 referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of ReliaStar Select Variable
Account as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and changes
in Contract Owners' equity for each of the three years in the period ended

Northstar Investment Management Corporation, an affiliate of ReliaStar
Life, is the investment adviser for the three Northstar Funds and is paid
fees for its services by the Funds. Fidelity Management & Research Company
is the investment adviser for Fidelity's VIPF and VIPF II and is paid fees
for its services by the VIPF and VIPF II portfolios. Putnam Investment
Management, Inc. is the investment adviser for the Putnam VT Funds and is
paid fees for its services by the Putnam VT Funds. See the related Funds'
prospectuses for further information. On May 3, 1993, ReliaStar Life added
the Sub-Accounts investing in shares of Index 500 Portfolio. On January 6,
1994, ReliaStar Life established sub-accounts investing in the Putnam VT
Funds which were made available to purchasers of ReliaStar Life's
Select*Annunity III variable annuity contracts. On May 2, 1994,
Sub-Accounts investing in the Putnam VT Funds were also made available to
purchasers of ReliaStar Life's Select*Annunity II variable annuity
contracts. On December 30, 1994, Sub-Accounts investing in the Northstar
Funds were made available to purchasers of ReliaStar Life's Select*Annunity
III variable annuity contracts. On April 30, 1995, Sub-Accounts investing
in the VIPF II Contrafund Portfolio, the Putnam VT Asia Pacific Growth Fund
and the Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund were made available to purchasers
of ReliaStar Life's Select*Annunity III variable annuity contracts.
SECURITIES VALUATION TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME:
The market value of investments in the Sub-Accounts is based on the closing
net asset values of the Fund shares held at the end of the period.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order
to purchase or redeem is executed) and dividend income and capital gain
distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains and
losses on redemptions of shares of the Funds are determined on the basis of
specific identification of Fund share costs.
VARIABLE ANNUITY RESERVES:
The amount of the reserves for contracts in the distribution period is
determined by actuarial assumptions which meet statutory requirements.
Gains or losses resulting from actual mortality experience, the full
responsibility for which is assumed by ReliaStar Life, are offset by
transfers to, or from, ReliaStar Life.
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
Under current tax law, the income, gains and losses from the separate
account investments are not taxable to either the Account or ReliaStar
Life.
3. CONTRACT CHARGES:
No deduction is made for a sales charge from the purchase payments made for
the contracts. However, on certain surrenders, ReliaStar Life will deduct
from the contract value a surrender charge as set forth in the contract.
Certain charges are made by ReliaStar Life to Contract Owners' Variable
Accumulation Values in the Account in accordance with the terms of the
Contracts. These charges may include: an annual administrative/contract
charge of $30 from each contract on the anniversary date or at the time of
surrender, if surrender is at a time other than the anniversary date; a
daily administrative charge; and a daily charge for mortality and expense
risk assumed by ReliaStar Life.
Various states and other governmental units levy a premium tax on annuity
contracts issued by insurance companies. If the owner of a contract lives
in a state which levies such a tax, ReliaStar Life may deduct the amount of
the tax from the purchase payments received or the value of the contract at
annuitization.
4. RELIASTAR LIFE'S SELECT FUNDS:
On May 1, 1995, Select Capital Growth Fund, Inc. ("SCG") and Select Managed
Fund, Inc. ("SMF") were liquidated, and Contract Owners' values in the
Sub-Accounts investing in SCG and SMF were transferred to the Sub-Accounts
investing in shares of the VIPF Growth Portfolio and VIPF II Asset Manager
Portfolio, respectively.
5. INVESTMENTS:
