NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. Financial Statements

   The Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 1995, the
Statements of Income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the Statements of Cash Flow for the nine-month periods then
ended are unaudited.  The interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the interim periods presented.  The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Northbrook Life Insurance Company 1994 Financial
Statements.  The results of operations for the interim periods should not
be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.  

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform to the presentation for the current year.

2. Transactions with Affiliates

   Revenues ceded to Allstate Life Insurance Company consist of premiums
and contract charges of $2,177,000 and $34,562,000 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1995 and $1,787,000 and $28,115,000 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1994.  Investment income earned on
the assets which support contractholder fund liabilities and reserve for
life insurance policy benefits were excluded from the Company's financial
statements as those assets were transferred to Allstate Life Insurance
Company under the terms of reinsurance treaties. Benefits and expenses
ceded to Allstate Life consist of paid benefits, credited interest on
reinsured contracts and operating expenses.  These benefits and expenses
amounted to $172,252,000  and $187,767,000 for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
<PAGE>
Northbrook Life Insurance Company
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Three- and Nine-Months Ended September 30, 1995


General

   Northbrook Life Insurance Company ("the Company") is wholly owned by
Allstate Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life").  Allstate Life is
wholly-owned by Allstate Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
The Allstate Corporation ("the Corporation").  Sears, Roebuck and Co.
distributed its 80.3% ownership in the Corporation on June 30, 1995 to
Sears common shareholders through a tax-free dividend.  As a result of the
distribution, Sears no longer has an ownership interest in the
Corporation.  

   The Company issues single and flexible premium annuity contracts and
universal life insurance policies.  In addition, the Company issues
flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts.  Dean Witter
Reynolds, Inc. is the sole distributor of the Company's flexible premium
deferred variable annuity contracts, and certain single and flexible
premium annuities.

   The Company reinsures all of its insurance in force with Allstate
Life.  Accordingly, the results of operations with respect to applications
received and contracts issued by the Company are not reflected in the
Company's Statements of Income.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

   Pre-tax net investment income in the third quarter of 1995 increased
85.7% to $1.3 million compared to $.7 million for the same period in 1994. 
For the first nine months of 1995 pre-tax net investment income increased
to $3.8 million compared to $2.1 million in the prior year.  The increases
were related to an increased level of invested assets which resulted from
a $25 million capital contribution from Allstate Life at the end of
December 1994.  Net income reflects the changes in pre-tax net investment
income.

   The Statement of Financial Position at September 30, 1995 reflects a
decrease in  amounts recoverable from Allstate Life Insurance Company
under reinsurance treaties and contractholder funds of 12.8% and 13.5%,
respectively, and an increase in Separate Accounts of 20.0% from December
31, 1994.  This is due to policyholder transfers from fixed annuities,
which are invested in the Company's general account, to variable
annuities, which are invested in the funds of the Separate Account, as
well as fixed annuity surrenders, sales of the variable annuity product
and favorable investment performance of  the Separate Account funds. 
Unrealized net capital gains (losses) increased $3.1 million to an
unrealized net capital gain of $1.5 million, as compared to an unrealized
net capital loss of $1.6 million at December 31, 1994.  Fluctuations in
unrealized gains (losses) are largely a function of overall market
conditions.  Current year increases are the result of an overall lower
interest rate environment as compared to December 31, 1994.


<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Under the terms of the reinsurance agreements with Allstate Life,
assets of the Company that relate to most insurance inforce, excluding
Separate Account assets, are transferred to Allstate Life. Therefore, the
funds necessary to support the operations of the Company are provided by
Allstate Life and the Company is not required to obtain additional capital
to support inforce or future business.


Pending Accounting Standards

   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of".  The statement requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  The statement requires that impairment loss be measured for
those assets  as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds the asset's fair value.  This statement will be adopted in 1996
and is not expected to have a material impact on  results of operations or
financial position.

   In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" which encourages entities to adopt a fair value based
method of accounting for compensation cost of employee stock compensation
plans.  The statement allows an entity to continue the application of
accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees", however pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined by this
statement had been applied, are required.  The disclosure requirements of
this statement will be adopted in 1996.  Results of operations and
financial position will not be affected by the adoption of this statement.
