                       LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA

                                  SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    June 30, 1996

          Note 1. Organization

          Life Insurance Company of North America - Separate Account A (the
          "Separate Account"), a separate account of Life Insurance Company
          of  North America  ("LINA"), is  registered under  the Investment
          Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust.  The
          Separate  Account consists of  seven divisions,  corresponding to
          the specific  mutual fund  shares underlying the  values of  such
          division.   Variable annuity  contract payments allocated  to the
          Separate Account, except as  modified by Note 5, are  invested by
          LINA  in shares of a designated mutual fund for allocation to the
          corresponding Separate Account  division.  The current  divisions
          of the Separate Account are designated as follows: Delaware Group
          Decatur Fund, Inc., Seligman Growth Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Fund,
          Windsor Fund, Windsor  Fund B,  Dreyfus Third  Century Fund,  and
          CIGNA High Yield Fund, Inc. (the "Funds").

          The Windsor  Fund has,  with certain exceptions,  ceased offering
          shares to  investors; however, the Separate  Account has obtained
          confirmation from the fund  that it will continue to  provide its
          shares for use  as an underlying  investment medium for  eligible
          variable annuity contract holders.

          Each   of  the   seven   mutual  fund   divisions  contains   two
          subdivisions,  one   for  the  tax-qualified  and   one  for  the
          allocation of non-tax qualified variable annuity contract values.
          The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results
          of the appropriate mutual fund designated for the subdivision and
          the  mortality  risk  and  expense fees  guarantees  assessed  on
          Separate Account assets (See Note 3).

          Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

          The accompanying financial statements  include only the  contract
          owners'  payments pertaining  to  the variable  portion of  their
          contracts, and  exclude any  payments for fixed  dollar benefits,
          the latter being included in the general account of LINA.

          Following is a summary of the significant accounting policies  of
          the Separate Account: (a)  the market value investments is  based
          on  closing bid  prices (net  asset value)  at June  30,1996; (b)
          investment transactions are accounted  for on the trade  date and
          income is  recorded on the ex-dividend date;  (c) the cost of the
          investments  sold is  determined  on the  specific identification
          method.  See Notes 4 through 6 with respect to income taxes.

          Note 3. Contract Owner Transactions

          Net   contract   considerations  represent   gross  contributions
          allocated to the Separate  Account by the contract owners  less a
          deduction by  LINA for  sales and administrative  expenses, death
          benefits for  group contracts  and any applicable  premium taxes.
          These deductions, exclusive of premium taxes, are charged against
          the gross  contributions and  vary as  follows:   group contracts
          from  1% to  6%;  individual  contracts from  4%  to  8.5%.   Net
          contract considerations for  the six months  ended June 30,  1996
          were  $140,739.20 after  deductions for sales  and administrative
          expenses.   Contract owners  unaffected by Revenue  Ruling 81-225
          (See Note 5)  have limited  rights to  transfer their  investment
          between the  Separate Account  subdivisions and to  transfer from
          and  to the general accumulation account of LINA. Contract owners
          affected by Revenue Ruling 81-225 have limited rights to transfer
          certain contract  values to  the general accumulation  account of
          LINA to lessen the impact of the Ruling (See Note 5). The amounts
          of  all transfers for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 were as
          follows:

                    Transfers between Separate 
                     Account A subdivisions              $   197           
            
                    Transfers from the general
                     accumulation account               $221,272           
                                                         
                    Transfers to the general
                     accumulation account               $276,684           

          LINA  charges  a fee  to  each Separate  Account  subdivision for
          assuming  the mortality  risk  and expense  fee guarantees.   The
          daily  equivalent of the annual  charge of 0.90%  is made against
          the average net asset value of the Separate Account.

          Note 4. Income Taxes

          The  Separate Account is taxed as part of LINA.   For the six
          months ending June 30, 1996, LINA was taxed as a casualty
          insurance company  as part  of the  consolidated group  of CIGNA
          Corporation,  its ultimate  parent.   LINA anticipates  that, for
          calendar  year 1996,  it will  be taxed  as a  casualty insurance
          company  as  part  of  CIGNA  Corporation's  consolidated  group.
          Although  LINA may be taxed  as a casualty  insurance company, it
          treats the operations of the  Separate Account as if it were part
          of a life insurance company.  Under the current provisions of the
          Internal Revenue Code, no  federal income taxes are payable by a
          company taxed as a life insurance company  with respect to 
          investment income and capital gains of the assets of a separate
          account when used to determine contract values.  LINA reserves the
          right to make adjustments for taxes to the assets of the Separate
          Account should future changes in the Internal Revenue Code 
          applicable  to  life  insurance companies so warrant.

          Note 5. Effect of Revenue Ruling 81-225

          Revenue Ruling 81-225 was issued by  the Internal Revenue Service
          on  September  25,  1981.    The  Ruling  pertains   to  variable
          annuities,  where  the  insurance  company,  through  a  separate
          account, holds mutual  funds shares  which are also  sold to  the
          public independent of the variable annuity contracts.  The Ruling
          also questioned  the tax treatment of  variable annuity contracts
          where  the underlying mutual funds are not managed by the issuing
          insurance company or an affiliate, and where the policyholder may
          initially  allocate  and  subsequently  reallocate  his  contract
          values among several underlying funds.

          The  Ruling adversely  affected the  tax  status of  the Separate
          Account variable annuity contracts  issued on a non-tax qualified
          basis after December  31, 1980, and those  issued after September
          25,  1981 which were  intended to qualify  under Internal Revenue
          Code Sections 403(a), 403(b) or 408(b).

          In order to  comply with  the IRS opinions  expressed in  Revenue
          Ruling 81-225, allocations to the Separate Account resulting from
          new  purchases  were  terminated  except  as  noted  below.    In
          addition,  LINA  suspended  new contract  sales  which  permitted
          allocations to the Separate Account in both the non-tax qualified
          and tax qualified markets described above.

          Payments  on behalf  of individuals  who were  participants under
          contracts before  September 25, 1981 may continue to be allocated
          to  the Separate  Account  where such  contracts  were issued  to
          qualify pursuant to  Code Sections 403(a),  403(b) or 408(b),  or
          where the contract owner is not subject to federal income tax.

          Note 6. Diversification Requirements

          Under  the provisions of  Section 817(h) of  the Internal Revenue
          Code, a  variable annuity contract, other than  a contract issued
          in connection  with certain types of employee benefit plans, will
          not  be treated as an  annuity contract for  federal tax purposes
          for  any period for which the investments of the segregated asset
          account  on  which  the  contract  is  based  are not  adequately
          diversified.  The Code provides that the "adequately diversified"
          requirement  may be  met  if the  underlying investments  satisfy
          either   a  statutory   safe   harbor  test   or  diversification
          requirements set forth in regulations issued by  the Secretary of
          Treasury.

          The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations under section
          817(h)  of the  Code.   LINA believes  that the  Separate Account
          satisfies  the current  requirements of  the regulations,  and it
          intends  that the  Separate Account  will  continue to  meet such
          requirements.
