                PHOENIX HOME LIFE VARIABLE ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 30, 1996 
                                 (Unaudited) 

Note 1--Organization: 

   Phoenix Home Life Variable Accumulation Account (the Account) is a 
separate investment account of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company 
(Phoenix) registered as a unit investment trust. The Account currently has 
ten Sub-accounts to which contract values may be allocated and invest solely 
in a designated portfolio of The Phoenix Edge Series Fund and/or Wanger 
Advisors Trust (the "Funds"). The Account is offered as The Big Edge and The 
Big Edge Plus to individuals (VA1, VA2 and VA3) and is also offered as Group 
Strategic Edge ("GSE") to groups to fund certain tax-qualified pension plans 
or profit sharing plans. The Money Market, Growth, Multi-Sector Fixed Income, 
(formerly Bond), Total Return, International, Balanced, Real Estate, 
Strategic Theme, Wanger International Small Cap and Wanger U.S. Small Cap 
Sub-accounts are subdivided into two pools designated "VA1" and "VA2, VA3 & 
GSE". VA2 and VA3 contracts include a higher expense risk charge than the VA1 
contract. VA3 and GSE contract holders may also direct the allocation of 
their investments between the Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account and 
of the general account of Phoenix through participant transfers. The Fund's 
Growth, Multi-Sector Fixed Income and Total Return Series are successors to 
the investing activities of the Stock, Multi-Sector Fixed Income and Total 
Return Sub-accounts. 

   Each Series has distinct investment objectives. The Money Market Series is 
a pooled short-term investment fund, the Growth Series is a growth common 
stock fund, the Multi-Sector Fixed Income Series is a long-term debt fund, 
the Total Return Series invests in equity securities and long and short-term 
debt, the International Series invests primarily in an internationally 
diversified portfolio of equity securities and the Balanced Series is a 
balanced fund which invests in growth stocks and at least 25% of its assets 
in fixed income senior securities. The Real Estate Series invests in 
marketable securities of publicly traded real estate investment trusts 
("REITs") and companies that are principally engaged in the real estate 
industry. The Strategic Theme Series invests in securities of companies 
believed to benefit from specific trends. Wanger International Small Cap and 
Wanger U.S. Small Cap invest primarily in securities of companies with a 
stock market capitalization of less than $1 billion. 

Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies 

A. Valuation of Investments: Investments are made exclusively in the Funds 
and are valued at the net asset values per share of the respective Series. 

B. Investment transactions and related income: Realized gains and losses 
include capital gain distributions from the Funds as well as gains and losses 
on sales of shares in the Funds determined on the LIFO (last in, first out) 
basis. 

C. Income taxes: The Account is not a separate entity from Phoenix and under 
current federal income tax law, income in the Account is not taxed since 
reserves are established equivalent to such income. Therefore, no provision 
for related federal or state income taxes is required. 

D. Distributions: Distributions are recorded as investment income on the 
ex-dividend date. 

Note 3--Purchases and Sales of Shares of The Funds 

   Purchases and sales of shares of the Funds for the period ended June 30, 
1996 aggregated the following:

Note 5--Investment Advisory Fees and Related Party Transactions: 

   Phoenix and its indirect, majority owned subsidiary, Phoenix Equity 
Planning Corporation, a registered broker/dealer in securities, provide all 
services to the Account. 

   Phoenix assumes the risk that annuitants as a class may live longer than 
expected and that its expenses may be higher than its deductions for such 
expenses. In return for the assumption of these mortality and expense risks, 
Phoenix charges the sub-accounts designated VA1 the daily equivalent of 0.40% 
on an annual basis of the current value of net assets for mortality risks and 
the daily equivalent of 0.60% on an annual basis for expense risks assumed. 
VA2, VA3 & GSE sub-accounts are charged the daily equivalent of 0.40% and 
0.85% on an annual basis for mortality and expense risks, respectively. 

   As compensation for administrative services provided to the Account, 
Phoenix additionally receives $35 per year from each contract, which is 
deducted from the sub-account holding the assets of the participant, or on a 
pro rata basis from two or more sub-accounts in relation to their values 
under the contract. Fees for administrative services provided for the period 
ended June 30, 1996 aggregated $887,406 and are funded by and included in 
participant withdrawals. 

   Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation is the principal underwriter and 
distributor for the Account. Phoenix reimburses Phoenix Equity Planning 
Corporation for expenses incurred as underwriter. On surrender of a contract, 
contingent deferred sales charges, which vary from 0-6% depending upon the 
duration of each contract deposit, are deducted from the proceeds and are 
paid to Phoenix as reimbursement for services provided. Contingent deferred 
sales charges deducted and paid to Phoenix aggregated $1,072,584 for the 
period ended June 30, 1996.

Note 6--Distribution of Net Income: 

   The Account does not expect to declare dividends to participants from 
accumulated net income. The accumulated net income is distributed to 
participants as part of withdrawals of amounts in the form of surrenders, 
death benefits, transfers or annuity payments in excess of net purchase 
payments. 

Note 7--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 the Treasury. 

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