GREAT-WEST VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT A


Notes to Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
================================================================================
[Unaudited]

NOTE 1 - HISTORY

Great-West Variable Annuity Account A (Variable Annuity Account A) is a separate
and distinct  investment  fund  established  by The  Great-West  Life  Assurance
Company  (Great-West Life). On December 31, 1991, Variable Annuity Account A was
transferred to and the variable  annuity  contracts were reinsured by Great-West
Life  &  Annuity  Insurance  Company  (GWL&A),  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of
Great-West  Life.  Variable  Annuity  Account  A is  registered  as an  open-end
diversified  management  investment  company under the Investment Company Act of
1940,  and the  registration  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933 of the  group
variable annuity contracts funded by Variable Annuity Account A became effective
on November 27, 1968.  Purchase  payments were first placed in Variable  Annuity
Account A on January 3, 1969.

Effective  April 6,  1984,  Great-West  Life  ceased  issuing  variable  annuity
contracts.   Effective  May  1,  1987,  Great-West  Life  has  not  allowed  new
participants  to be enrolled  under  existing  variable  annuity  contracts and,
effective May 1, 1989,  no  additional  contributions  under  existing  variable
annuity contracts are being accepted.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

The  cost  of   securities   sold  is   determined  on  the  basis  of  specific
identification.

Securities traded on national exchanges are valued daily at the closing price of
the securities on these  exchanges,  and securities  traded on  over-the-counter
markets are valued daily at the average between bid and asked prices. Short-term
securities  are valued at  amortized  cost,  which  approximates  market  value.
Security  transactions  are  recorded at the earlier of trade date or the date a
commitment is made to buy or sell the related investment.

Dividend  income is accrued as of the  ex-dividend  date and interest  income is
recorded daily.
