                  LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA

                            SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               June 30, 1997

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
Multiple Strategies Fund (formerly 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, 1997; (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-month period ended June 30, 1997 were 
$101,653.47 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-month period ended June 30, 1997 were as
follows:

          Transfers between Separate 
           Account A subdivisions             $187,077 
                 
          Transfers from the general
           accumulation account               $454,248            
                                              
          Transfers to the general
           accumulation account               $282,234 
           
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-month
period ending December 31, 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 1997, 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.
