THE FRANKLIN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
FRANKLIN LIFE VARIABLE ANNUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)

1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND REORGANIZATION

     Franklin Life Variable Annuity Fund (the Fund or the Ongoing Fund) is a
     separate account of The Franklin Life Insurance Company (Franklin) under
     Illinois insurance law and a unit investment trust under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940. The Fund supports the operations of Franklin's
     variable annuity contracts (the Contracts). New contracts are no longer
     being issued.

     Prior to April 30, 1999, Franklin maintained Franklin Life Variable Annuity
     Funds A and B, and Franklin Life Money Market Variable Annuity Fund C (the
     Former Funds) which were originally established as open-end diversified
     management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
     On April 30, 1999, a reorganization was effected under which Franklin Life
     Variable Annuity Fund A was renamed Franklin Life Variable Annuity Fund,
     converted into a unit investment trust, and consolidated with Franklin Life
     Variable Annuity Fund B and Franklin Life Money Market Variable Annuity
     Fund C. The assets of the Former Funds were transferred to Subaccounts A,
     B, and C, respectively, of the Ongoing Fund.

     The Ongoing Fund consists of three subaccounts invested in units of
     beneficial interest (shares) of two portfolios of American General Series
     Portfolio Company (AGSPC), an affiliated open-end management investment
     company. Subaccounts A and B invest in the AGSPC Stock Index Fund portfolio
     and Subaccount C invests in the AGSPC Money Market Fund portfolio.

     The Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for
     the year ended December 31, 1999 for the new Subaccounts A, B, and C
     reflect the consolidated activity of the Former Funds through April 30,
     1999, and Subaccounts A, B and C of the Ongoing Fund from May 1, 1999 to
     December 31, 1999.

     Franklin Financial Services Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
     Franklin, acts as principal underwriter for the Contracts, as defined in
     the Investment Company Act of 1940. The assets of the Fund are the property
     of Franklin; however, the portion of the Fund's assets applicable to the
     Contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
     business Franklin may conduct.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investments: Investments are carried at fair value based on the net asset
     values of the respective AGSPC portfolios. Investment transactions are
     recorded on the trade date. Dividends are recorded as received. Realized
     gains and losses on sales of investments are determined based on the
     specific identification method.

     Taxation: Operations of the Fund form a part of, and are taxed with those
     of, Franklin, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal
     Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable with
     respect to the Fund.

     Reserves: Annuity reserves on Contracts, all involving life contingencies,
     are calculated using the Progressive Annuity Table with an assumed
     investment rate of 3-1/2%. At June 30, 2000, net assets includes $16,630
     for annuity reserves.

3.   CONTRACT CHARGES

     In conjunction with the reorganization, Franklin waived all sales loads,
     surrender or deferred sales charges and administrative fees specified in
     each Contract beginning October 1998. AGSPC deducts a charge for investment
