                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



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
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     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:
     The net realized gains (losses) on redemptions of fund shares for the years
