                                 ANNUAL REPORT

               TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL'S SEPARATE ACCOUNT FUND B

Transamerica  Occidental  Separate  Account  Fund B's total  return for 1995 was
51.58%  after fees  compared  to a total  return of 37.58% for the S&P 500.  The
Fund's 5-year  compound annual return is 25.98% after fees, or a total return of
217.27% versus the S&P 500 compound  annual return of 16.59%,  or a total return
of 115.46%. Performance was strong across all areas of the Fund's investments.

In contrast to 1994, 1995 was a plentiful year for the financial markets as many
fundamental factors fell into perfect alignment.  The economy slowed,  inflation
worries  abated,  the Federal  Reserve  eased,  and interest  rates fell.  These
factors  set the stage for an  explosive  rally in the stock  market.  Investors
flocked to equity funds to take advantage of these favorable  conditions pouring
over $100 billion into equity mutual funds -- an all-time record.

The  outlook  for 1996 is for  continued  economic  growth  with low  inflation.
Productivity  gains and  fierce  worldwide  competition  will  continue  to keep
inflation in check.  Real economic growth should slow to a more sustainable pace
of 2.0% to 2.5%.  Stock market returns should be good but perhaps not as easy to
come by as in 1995.

The Fund's strategy of being a long-term  investor in preeminent  companies will
continue in 1996. Investments in companies like Intel,  Microsoft,  Walt Disney,
and Gillette are one of the reasons the Fund has  achieved  compound  returns in
excess of 25%. These companies are not only leading American companies, but over
the years, have developed into leading international companies.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Unitholders and Board of Managers,  Transamerica  Occidental's  Separate Account
Fund B Board of Directors, Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company.

     We have audited the  accompanying  statement of assets and  liabilities  of
Transamerica  Occidental's  Separate  Account Fund B, including the portfolio of
investments,  as of December 31, 1995,  the related  statement of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended,  and the  financial  highlights  for each of the
five  years  in the  period  then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements 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 are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by correspondence with
the custodian.  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 referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects,  the financial  position of Transamerica  Occidental's
Separate  Account Fund B at December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for
the year then ended,  the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended,  and the financial  highlights  for each of the five years in
the  period  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.
