                     LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 1999


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").

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).

Under  the  current  provisions  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  (the  "Code"),
transfers  of contract  values  from one  division  of the  Separate  Account to
another  division of the Separate  Account,  or from the Separate Account to the
General account, are not subject to current taxation.  There can be no assurance
that  future  changes in the Code will not  subject  such  transfers  to current
taxation.


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, 1999; (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 period
ended June 30, 1999 were $ 69,940 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 Account of LINA.  Contract
owners affected by Revenue Ruling 81-225 have limited rights to transfer certain
contract  values to the  General  Account  of LINA to lessen  the  impact of the
Ruling (See Note 5). The amounts of all  transfers for the period ended June 30,
1999 were as follows:

         Transfers between Separate
           Account A subdivisions                    $1,044,755

         Transfers from the General
           Account                                   $   10,930

         Transfers to the General
           Account                                   $  229,286

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 period  ended June 30,
1999, 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 1999, 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.
