GREAT-WEST VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNAUDITED

1.     ORGANIZATION & SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        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.

        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 following is a summary of the significant accounting policies, which
        are in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles in the
        investment company industry:

        Security Valuation

        Short-term  and money market  securities  are valued at  amortized  cost
        which  approximates   market  value.  Equity  securities  listed  on  an
        established  exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued
        at the last sale  price as of the close of  business.  Fixed  income and
        other securities are valued by independent  pricing services approved by
        the Board of Directors.  Securities for which market  quotations are not
        readily  available  are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
        by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

        Security Transactions

        Security  transactions  are  accounted  for on the date the  security is
        purchased  or  sold  (trade  date).  The  cost  of  investments  sold is
        determined on the basis of specific identification.

        Dividend  income is  accrued  as of the  ex-dividend  date and  interest
        income,  including  amortization of discounts and premiums,  is recorded
        daily.

        Federal Income Taxes

        The Variable Annuity Account A investment  income is applied to increase
        accumulation  unit values.  Under existing federal income tax,  Variable
        Annuity  Account A investment  income is not taxed to the extent that it
        is applied to increase  accumulation  unit  values.  GWL&A  reserves the
        right to charge the Variable Annuity Account A if such taxes are imposed
        in the future.

2.     INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

        GWL&A  provides  administrative,  investment  management,  and  advisory
        services to Variable  Annuity  Account A and has assumed  mortality  and
        expense  risks of the  contracts.  A daily  deduction  of  .003285%  (an
        effective  annual  rate of  1.2064%)  is made from the gross  investment
        income of Variable  Annuity Account A. This  deduction,  expressed on an
        annual  basis,  is broken  down as follows:  0.2857% for  administrative
        expenses,  0.3863% for mortality  risks,  0.0688% for expense risks, and
        0.4656% for  investment  management  and  advisory  services.  Effective
        November 1, 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity
        Insurance  Company,  GW Capital  Management,  LLC,  serves as investment
        advisor.

        Contract  benefit  payments are advanced by GWL&A to contract holders on
        behalf  of  Variable  Annuity  Account  A.  Variable  Annuity  Account A
        reimburses GWL&A for these payments periodically.

3.     PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the aggregate cost of purchases
        and proceeds from sales of  investment  securities  (excluding  all U.S.
        Government  securities and short-term  securities)  were  $1,156,043 and
        $1,987,656,  respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, there
        were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
