          Account I  (the  Separate  Account) at  December  31,  1996,  the

          the changes in  each of their total  assets for the two  years in
          the  period then  ended, in  conformity  with generally  accepted
          accounting  principles.    These  financial  statements  are  the

          responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial
          statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
          financial  statements  in   accordance  with  generally  accepted
          auditing standards  which require  that we  plan and perform  the
          audit  to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
          statements are free of material misstatement.   An audit includes
          examining,  on a test basis, evidence  supporting the amounts and
          disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
          principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
          evaluating  the  overall financial  statement  presentation.   We
          believe  that  our  audits  provide a  reasonable  basis  for the
          opinion expressed above.

                  INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA

                                  SEPARATE ACCOUNT I

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  December 31, 1996

          Note 1. Organization

          Investors Life  Insurance Company  of  North America  ("Investors
          Life")  established  Investors Life  Insurance  Company  of North
          America - Separate  Account I (the "Separate Account")  as a unit
          investment trust registered  under the Investment Company  Act of
          1940, as  amended.  Operations of the  Separate Account commenced
          on September 15,  1982.  The Separate Account  currently has four
          Divisions each corresponding to a  portfolio of PCM Trust.  Prior
          to the substitution  of shares of PCM  Trust for shares of  CIGNA
          Annuity Funds  Group as the  underlying funding  vehicle for  the
          Separate Account,  the Separate Account contained five divisions.
          In  connection with  the substitution,  the  Equity Division  was
          merged  with  the  Growth and  Income  Division;  thereafter, the
          Equity  Division was renamed  the Growth and  Income Division II.
          See Note 6 for a description of the  substitution.  Each Division
          contains   two  subdivisions,  one  for  the  allocation  of  tax
          qualified and  one for  the allocation  of non-tax  qualified net
          payments made under variable annuity contracts.

          Net purchase payments to the Separate Account may be allocated to
          one or more of the following classes  of shares of the PCM Trust:
          PCM Money  Market Fund,  PCM Income Fund,  PCM Growth  and Income
          Fund or  PCM Voyager Fund.   The contract owners'  equity of each
          subdivision of the Separate Account is affected by the investment
          results of  the appropriate portfolio(s)  of shares of  PCM Trust
          designated for the subdivision and the mortality risk and expense
          fees guarantees assessed on the Separate Account assets (See Note
          3), and the administrative charge deductions.

          Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

          Following is a summary of the significant  accounting policies of
          the Separate Account:

          (a)  the market value of the investments  is based on closing bid
          prices (net asset  value) at  December 31,  1996; (b)  investment
          transactions are  accounted for on  the trade date and  income is
          recorded on  the ex-dividend  date; (c) the  cost of  investments
          sold is determined  on the specific  identification method.   See
          Notes 4 and 5 with respect to income taxes.

          Note 3. Contract Owner Transactions 

          Net contract  considerations represent gross  contributions under
          variable  annuity contracts less deductions by Investors Life for
          any  applicable premium taxes.   Net contract  considerations for
          the  year ended December 31, 1996, were $509,041 after deductions
          for premium taxes of $4.  Contract owners have limited  rights to
          transfer   their  contract   values   between  Separate   Account
          Divisions. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the total of all
          transfers  was $991,249.  Contract surrender benefits amounted to
          $5,428,105.   Annuity benefits  amounted to $348,903.   Investors
          Life  charges a  fee  to each  Separate  Account subdivision  for
          assuming the mortality  risk and  expense fees  guarantees.   The
          daily equivalent of the annual charge of 1.2% is made against the
          average net value of the Separate Account.

          Note 4. Income Taxes

          Investors Life  is taxed  as a life  insurance company  under the
          Internal Revenue Code.  The Separate  Account is taxed as a  part
          of Investors Life.  Under the  current provisions of the Code, no
          federal income taxes are  payable by Investors Life  with respect
          to the  operations of the  Separate Account when  such operations
          are used  to  determine  the  contract  values  of  the  Separate
          Account.  Investors  Life retains the  right to make  adjustments
          for taxes to Separate Account assets should future changes in the
          Internal Revenue Code so warrant.

          Note 5. Diversification Requirements

          Under the provisions  of Section 817(h)  of the Internal  Revenue
          Code, (the  "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.  Investors Life  believes that  the Separate
          Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations.

          Note 6.   Substitution of Fund Shares

          Prior  to  November  29, 1993,  CIGNA  Investments,  Inc. ("CII")
          served as the investment adviser to each of the portfolios of the
          CIGNA  Fund, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between
          CII  and the  CIGNA Funds.   In  connection with its  decision to
          withdraw from  the active management of  equity-based portfolios,
          CII  indicated to  the Board of  Trustees of the  CIGNA Funds and
          Investors Life that  CII would be unwilling to  continue to serve
          as investment  adviser with respect  to any of the  portfolios of
          the CIGNA Fund on a long-term basis.  

          CII  indicated that  an orderly  withdrawal  of CII's  investment
          advisory services involved the selection of an investment adviser
          to provide equity  advisory services during a  transition period,
          as well as  the capability to serve as  the substitute underlying
          investment  vehicle  for  the  variable  annuity  contracts  (the
          "Contracts")  issued  by  Investors  Life.    Putnam   Investment
          Management, Inc. ("Putnam Management"), the investment adviser to
          Putnam Capital Manager Trust ("PCM") indicated its willingness to
          service  as investment adviser to  the CIGNA Annuity Equity Fund,
          the CIGNA  Annuity Growth and  Income Fund and the  CIGNA Annuity
          Aggressive  Equity Fund  (the "CIGNA  Equity  Funds") during  the
          transition period.  PCM has also indicated to Investors Life that
          its  willingness to serve as the substitute underlying investment
          vehicle for the Contracts (the "Substitution").

          On the  basis of the  foregoing, the Trustees of  the CIGNA Funds
          terminated  the appointment of  CII as the  investment adviser to
          the   CIGNA  Equity  Funds,  effective  November  29,  1993,  and
          appointed Putnam Management as the  new investment adviser of the
          CIGNA Equity  Funds.   CII continued to  serve as  the investment
          adviser  of the  CIGNA Annuity  Money Market  Fund and  the CIGNA
          Annuity   Income  Fund  and  to  provide  certain  administrative
          services  to  the  CIGNA  Funds   until  the  completion  of  the
          Substitution.  

          Investors  Life filed an application with the U.S. Securities and
          Exchange  Commission,   requesting  the  issuance   of  an  order
          approving the  plan of  Substitution.  Such  order was  issued on
          December  21, 1994.   The effectiveness  of the  Substitution was
          subject to prior approval by the vote  of a majority of the votes
          to be cast by persons  having their contract values determined by
          each affected  portfolio of the  CIGNA Funds, which  approval was
          obtained.  

          As of April  18, 1995, shares of  the PCM Trust  were substituted
          for  shares  of the  applicable  CIGNA  Fund  as  the  underlying
          investment  vehicle.    The  substitution of  PCM  Funds  as  the
          underlying investment  vehicle for the variable annuity contracts
          was effected  by Investors Life's  exchange of shares of  each of
          the portfolios of the CIGNA Funds for shares of the corresponding
          portfolio of PCM Funds.
