Dear Participant:

The stock market continued to rally in the second quarter despite higher 
interest rates and concerns over an accelerating economy.  Net cash flows 
into equity mutual funds and stronger than expected corporate profits 
were the primary factors driving the market advance.  The Variable
Annuity Fund A also increased with the equity market.  The unit value 
was $13.73 on June 30, 1996 up 12.5% from $12.20 on December 31, 1995.

Following a stronger than expected first quarter GDP growth rate of 2.2%, 
the economy accelerated throughout the second quarter and is likely to post 
the strongest results for the year with growth in the 4.0% to 4.5% range 
expected.  Growth in the second quarter was led by strong consumer 
spending, higher retail sales and the rebuilding of inventories.  We expect 
growth to moderate in the second half of the year.

Long term interest rates rose to a 12 month high of 7.20% in June as investors 
became concerned over the stronger than expected economic growth and the 
potential for higher inflation rates.  In addition, the non-farm employment 
report provided evidence that job creation continued to remain robust.  
However, the bond market improved slightly toward the end of the second 
quarter by a few early signs of moderating growth in retail sales and 
increased investor confidence that the Federal Reserve would refrain from 
a rate hike.

Despite a stronger economy in the first half of the year, the Federal Reserve 
was able to avert increasing interest rates due to a favorable inflation 
outlook.  The Consumer Price Index increased at an annual rate of approximately 
3.5% over the first 6 months of 1996.  With over a 100 basis point rise in 
long term interest rates since the beginning of the year, it appears that the
bond market has overly discounted only minimal signs of increases in inflation.

We expect the financial markets to remain challenging and it would not surprise 
us if the markets correct over the near term.  As we enter a potentially 
volatile third quarter, the stock market is clearly susceptible to any 
disappointments on the economic front.  We would view any near term 
correction in the stock market as an opportunity to selectively add to stock 
positions.  Over the intermediate term we expect equities to continue their 
advance due to positive market liquidity, a resurgent economy and a moderate
inflation outlook.

We continue to recommend the regular purchase of units of Variable Annuity Fund 
A over a number of years in order to benefit from dollar cost averaging.

If you have any questions about your account, please contact us.

   
                                 Sincerely,

                                 JOHN W. REX

                                 John W. Rex, Chairman
                                 Board of Managers
