PINNACLE SERIES ACCOUNT OF
GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994
[Unaudited]

1.   HISTORY OF THE SERIES ACCOUNT

     The Pinnacle Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity
Insurance Company (the Series Account) is a variable life separate
account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the
Company) and was established under the laws of Kansas on January
31, 1985.  In 1990 the Series Account was amended to conform to and
comply with Colorado law in connection with the Company's
redomestication to the State of Colorado.  The Series Account is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit
investment trust under the provisions of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.  The Series Account product, a single premium
variable life policy, is no longer being sold.  The Series Account
is also closed to additional contributions from existing
policyholders.

     The Series Account has various investment divisions which
invest solely in shares of Maxim Series Fund, Inc. (the Fund), an
open-end management investment company.  The Series Account
investment divisions invest in the following Fund portfolios;  the
Money Market Portfolio (Money Market Investment Division), the Bond
Portfolio (Bond Investment Division), the Stock Index Portfolio
(Stock Index Investment Division), the U.S. Government Securities
Portfolio (U.S. Government Securities Investment Division), the
Zero-Coupon 1995 Treasury Portfolio (Zero-Coupon 1995 Treasury
Investment Division), and the Total Return Portfolio (Total Return
Investment Division).  On November 15, 1995 the Zero-Coupon 1995
Treasury Portfolio matured and funds were distributed to
shareholders; therefore net assets at December 31, 1995 are zero.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
of the Series Account which are in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in the investment company industry:

     a.   Security Transactions - Security transactions are
recorded on the trade date.  Cost of investments sold is determined
on the basis of identified cost.

          Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date and
expenses are accrued on a daily basis.

     b.   Security Valuation - The investments in shares of the
Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per share as
determined by each Fund portfolio at year end.

          The cost of investments represents shares of the Fund
which were purchased by the Series Account.  Purchases are made at
the net asset value from net purchase payments or through
reinvestment of all distributions from the Fund.

     c.   Federal Income Taxes - The Series Account income is
automatically applied to increase contract reserves.  Under the
existing federal income tax law, this income is not taxed to the
extent that it is applied to increase reserves under the contract. 
The Company reserves the right to charge the Series Account for
federal income taxes attributable to the Series Account if such
taxes are imposed in the future.

3.   CHARGES UNDER THE POLICIES

     a.   Deductions for Sales Charge - The Company deducts  a
sales charge equal to 8% of the single premium from a participant's
account in monthly installments over the first ten policy years. 
The sales charge compensates the Company for its expense of selling
and administering the policy.

     b.   Deductions for Premium Taxes - The Company deducts a
premium tax charge equal to 2% of the single premium from a
participant's account in monthly installments over the first ten
policy years.

     c.   Deductions for Cost of Insurance - A monthly charge is
deducted from a participant's account for the insurance risk
assumed by the Company.  The risk is equal to the death benefit
less the total account value.  This charge is based on the attained
age, sex and premium class of the insured.

     d.   Deductions for Assumption of Mortality and Expense Risks
- - The Company deducts an amount, computed daily, from the net asset
value of the Series Account investments equal to an annual rate of
 .50%.  This charge is designed to compensate the Company for its
assumption of certain mortality and expense risks.  The level of
this charge is guaranteed and will not change.

     e.   Transfer Charges - With the exception of the first six
transfers in each policy year, a transfer charge of $25 is deducted
from a participant's account for each transfer between investment
divisions.

4.   RELATED-PARTY SERVICES

     The Company's parent, The Great-West Life Assurance Company,
serves as investment advisor to Maxim Series Fund, Inc.  Fees are
assessed against the average daily net asset value of the Fund to
compensate The Great-West Life Assurance Company for investment
advisory services.

5.   COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS APPLICABLE TO OUTSTANDING UNITS OF
