Dear Policyowner:

The U.S.  stock and bond markets were  exceptionally  good to investors in 1995.
Major international markets had good years as well, although most of them lagged
the US market.  Results in the subaccounts of the MEMBERS(R)  Variable Universal
Life and the UltraVers-ALL LIFESM reflect these strong markets as shown below:

                                                        Percent increase
                                                       in Unit Value from
   Subaccount                                       12/31/94 through 12/31/95
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Capital Appreciation Stock                                29.7%
   Growth and Income Stock                                   30.6%
   Balanced                                                  21.2%
   Bond                                                      15.4%
   Money Market                                               4.4%
   Treasury 2000                                             19.9%
   World Governments                                         13.9%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  International  Stock subaccount was added to the product in 1995. The first
activity  in that  subaccount  was on July 3,  1995.  The  Unit  Value  for this
subaccount increased 6.1% from 7/3/95 through 12/31/95.

This  booklet is divided  into  several  sections.  Each  section  contains  the
semiannual report for a component of variable  universal life. The first section
contains the following reports for the Century Variable Account:

Statement of Assets and Liabilities....................................page  2
Statement of Operations................................................page  3
Statement of Changes in Net Assets.....................................page  5
Notes to the Financial Statements......................................page  7
Independent Auditors' Report.......................................... page 12

The Century  Variable Account invests in mutual funds. The results shown reflect
the deduction of the separate  account level charges.  Returns at the subaccount
level shown above are  slightly  lower than at the mutual fund level as a result
of these charges.

The  remaining  sections  of this  booklet  cover the mutual  funds and  include
discussions  of the fund results and the managers'  outlook.  The second section
contains  the  report  for the Ultra  Series  Fund which  includes  the  Capital
Appreciation Stock Fund, Growth and Income Stock Fund, Balanced Fund, Bond Fund,
Money Market Fund,  and the Treasury 2000 Fund.  The third section is the report
for the T.  Rowe  Price  International  Stock  Portfolio  of the T.  Rowe  Price
International  Series, Inc., and the last section has the financial  information
and  results for the MFS(R)  World  Government  SeriesSM of the MFS(R)  Variable
Insurance TrustSM.

Variable universal life provides you with valuable life insurance protection. It
also provides the  investment  alternatives  you need for your  long-term  asset
accumulation  needs.  We appreciate your trust in Century Life of America and in
variable  universal  life.  We value  our  relationship  with you and we will be
working hard in 1996 to help you meet your financial objectives.

Sincerely,


/s/ Michael B. Kitchen

                            CENTURY VARIABLE ACCOUNT
                          Notes to Financial Statements

(1)  Organization

     The Century  Variable  Account  (the  Account) is a unit  investment  trust
     registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 with the Securities and
     Exchange  Commission.  The Account was established as a separate investment
     account  within  Century Life of America to receive and invest net premiums
     paid under flexible premium variable life insurance policies.

     Although  the assets of the  Account are the  property  of Century  Life of
     America,  those assets attributable to the policies are not chargeable with
     liabilities arising out of any other business which Century Life of America
     may conduct.

     The net assets  maintained  in the  Account  attributable  to the  policies
     provide  the  base  for the  periodic  determination  of the  increased  or
     decreased benefits under the policies.  The net assets may not be less than
     the amount  required  under state  insurance  law to provide  certain death
     benefits and other policy benefits.  Additional  assets are held in Century
     Life of America's  general account to cover death benefits in excess of the
     accumulated value.


(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

     Investments

     The Account  currently  is divided into eight  subaccounts  but may, in the
     future, include additional subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively
     in shares of a single  underlying  fund.  (The term fund is used to mean an
     investment portfolio sometimes called a series, i.e., Ultra Series Fund, T.
     Rowe Price  International Fund, Inc., MFS(R) Variable Insurance TrustTM, or
     any other open-end  management  investment company or unit investment trust
     in which a subaccount invests.) The income,  gains and losses,  realized or
     unrealized, from the assets allocated to each subaccount are credited to or
     charged against that subaccount  without regard to income,  gains or losses
     from any other subaccount.

     The  Account  invests  in  shares  of Ultra  Series  Fund,  T.  Rowe  Price
     International Fund, Inc., and MFS(R) Variable Insurance TrustTM.  Each is a
     management  investment  company of the series  type with one or more funds.
     Each is  registered  with  the SEC as an  open-end,  management  investment
     company.  Such registration does not involve  supervision of the management
     or investment  practices or policies of the companies or their funds by the
     SEC.

     Ultra Series Fund currently has six funds  available as investment  options
     under the policies while T. Rowe Price International Fund, Inc., and MFS(R)
     Variable  Insurance  TrustTM each have one fund  available as an investment
     option. MFS(R) Variable Insurance TrustTM also has other funds that are not
     available  under the  policies.  These fund  companies  may, in the future,
     create  additional  funds that may or may not be  available  as  investment
     options under the policies. Each fund has its own investment objectives and
     the income,  gains, and losses for each fund are determined  separately for
     that fund.

     Century Investment  Management Co. (CIMCO) serves as the investment advisor
     to the Ultra Series Fund and manages its assets in accordance  with general
     policies and  guidelines  established by the board of trustees of the Ultra
     Series Fund. The Company owns one half of CIMCO's outstanding stock and one
     half is owned indirectly by CUNA Mutual Insurance Society.

     Rowe  Price-Fleming  International,  Inc.  (RPFI) serves as the  Investment
     Advisor to the  International  Stock  Portfolio  and  manages its assets in
     accordance with general policies and guidelines established by the board of
     directors of T. Rowe Price  International  Fund,  Inc.  RPFI was founded in
     1979 as a joint venture between T. Rowe Price  Associates,  Inc. and Robert
     Fleming Holdings Limited.

     Massachusetts  Financial  Services  Company (MFS) serves as the  Investment
     Advisor  to the MFS World  Governments  Series  and  manages  its assets in
     accordance with general policies and guidelines established by the board of

                                       7
<PAGE>

     trustees of MFS(R) Variable Insurance  TrustTM.  MFS is a subsidiary of Sun
     Life Assurance  Company of Canada (U.S.) which, in turn, is a subsidiary of
     Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada.

     The  assets of each  fund are held  separate  from the  assets of the other
     funds,  and each fund is offered  at a price  equal to its  respective  net
     asset value per share,  without  sales  charge.  Dividends and capital gain
     distributions  from each fund are  reinvested in that fund.  Investments in
     shares of the Funds are stated at market value which is the net asset value
     per share as  determined  by the  Funds.  Realized  gains and  losses  from
     security transactions are reported on an average cost basis.
     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     Federal Income Taxes

     The operations of the Account form a part of the operations of Century Life
     of America and are not taxed  separately.  Century Life of America does not
     initially  expect to incur any income tax upon the earnings or the realized
     capital  gains  attributable  to the  Account.  Accordingly,  no charge for
     income  tax is  currently  being  made to the  Account.  If such  taxes are
     incurred by Century Life of America in the future,  a charge to the Account
     may be assessed.

     Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial  statements and the reported  amounts of increase and decrease in
     net assets from operations  during the period.  Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.


(3)  Fees and Charges

     Organization Costs

     Century Life of America absorbed all organization expenses of the Account.

     Policy Charges

     In addition to charges for state taxes,  which reduce premiums prior to the
     allocation of net premiums to the subaccounts of the Account, the following
     charges  may be  deducted  by  Century  Life of  America  by  redeeming  an
     appropriate number of units for each policy.

     Administrative   Fee:   Century   Life  of   America   will  have   primary
     responsibility  for the  administration  of the  Account  and the  policies
     issued.  As reimbursement  for these expenses,  Century Life of America may
     assess each policy a monthly administrative fee. For additional detail, see
     schedule of expenses and charges in the prospectus.

     Deferred  Contingent  Sales  and  Administrative  Charges:  The  sales  and
     administrative  expenses  incurred  when a Policy  is issued  are  deferred
     (Deferred  Charges) until the Policy is  surrendered.  Such charges are not
     collected  at all if the Policy is held for nine  years,  or if the Insured
     dies during that period.  In no instance  will the charge exceed 30 percent
     of the lesser of premiums paid or the Guideline  Annual Premium (as defined
     under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940) of the  policy.  The  Deferred
     Charges are normally built up in twelve equal  increments  during the first
     policy  year.  Beginning  on the  second  Policy  Anniversary,  incremental
     amounts  are  released  by  allocations  back  to the  subaccounts  on each
     anniversary until the tenth Policy  Anniversary when all remaining Deferred
     Charges are released.  All amounts in the Deferred Charges Account are held
     and interest credited to the Policy at a minimum rate of 4 percent with the
     Company crediting additional amounts at its discretion.

     Policy Fee:  Century Life of America will incur  first-year  expenses  upon
     issue of a policy,  and will  assess  each  policy a monthly  policy fee to
     recover these expenses.

     Cost of Insurance and Additional Benefits Provided: Century Life of America
     will  assume  the  responsibility  for  providing  the  insurance  benefits
     provided in the policy. The cost of insurance will be determined each month
     based upon the  applicable  cost of  insurance  rates and the net amount at

                                       8
<PAGE>

     risk.  The cost of  insurance  can vary  from  month  to  month  since  the
     determination of both the insurance rate and the net amount at risk depends
     upon a number of variables as described in the Account's prospectus.

     Variable Account Charges

     Mortality  and Expense  Risk  Charge:  Century  Life of America will deduct
     daily a  mortality  and  expense  risk charge from the account at an annual
     rate of .90  percent of the average  daily net asset value of the  Account.
     These charges will be deducted by Century Life of America in return for its
     assumption of risks associated with adverse mortality  experience or excess
     administrative expenses in connection with policies issued.


(4)  Investment Transactions

     The  cost  of  shares   purchased,   including   reinvestment  of  dividend
     distributions, during the year ended December 31, 1995, was as follows:

     Growth and Income Stock Fund.............................  $8,486,455
     Capital Appreciation Stock Fund..........................   4,006,242

                                                                ----------
                                                               $24,648,796
                                                                ==========

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Century Life of America and Contract Owners of Century Variable Account:

We have  audited  the  statements  of  assets  and  liabilities  of the  Capital
Appreciation  Stock  Subaccount,  Growth and Income Stock  Subaccount,  Balanced
Subaccount, Bond Subaccount, Money Market Subaccount,  Treasury 2000 Subaccount,
International  Stock  Subaccount,  and the World  Governments  Subaccount of the
Century  Variable  Account as of December 31, 1995,  the related  statements  of
operations  and  changes in net  assets for each of the years in the  three-year
(two  years  for  Capital   Appreciation  Stock  Subaccount  and  one  year  for
International  Stock and World Governments  Subaccounts)  period then ended, and
the condensed financial  information for each of the years in the five-year (two
years for Capital  Appreciation  Stock Subaccount and one year for International
Stock and World  Governments  Subaccounts)  period then ended.  These  financial
statements and condensed  financial  information are the  responsibility  of the
Account's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements and condensed financial information based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  condensed
financial  information  are free of  material  misstatement.  An audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements.  Investments owned at December 31, 1995 were verified
by audit of the statements of assets and liabilities of the underlying  funds of
Ultra Series Fund and confirmation with MFS Variable Insurance Trust and T. Rowe
Price.  An audit also includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and condensed  financial  information
referred to above  present  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial
position of the Capital  Appreciation Stock Subaccount,  Growth and Income Stock
Subaccount,  Balanced  Subaccount,  Bond  Subaccount,  Money Market  Subaccount,
Treasury  2000  Subaccount,   International   Stock  Subaccount  and  the  World
Governments  Subaccount of Century Variable Account as of December 31, 1995; the
results of their  operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the
years in the three-year (two years for Capital Appreciation Stock Subaccount and
one year for International Stock and World Governments  Subaccounts) period then
ended;  and the  condensed  financial  information  for each of the years in the
five-year (two years for Capital  Appreciation Stock Subaccount and one year for
International  Stock and World  Governments  Subaccounts)  period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
