     WRL and AEGON Management are indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON
USA, Inc., which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON nv, a

     On May 1, 1996 WRL made an initial contribution to the Life Account. The
amount of the contribution and units received from the corresponding
sub-accounts are as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
      SUB-ACCOUNT        CONTRIBUTION       UNITS

</TABLE>
 
     The Life Account holds assets to support the benefits under flexible
premium variable universal life insurance policies (the "Policies") issued by
WRL, which issued the first of such Policies on October 3, 1986. The Life
Account's equity transactions are accounted for using the appropriate effective
date at the corresponding accumulation unit value.
 
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     The following significant accounting policies, which are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for unit investment trusts, have been
consistently used in preparation of the Trust's financial statements.
 
A.  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
 
    The investments in the Fund's shares are stated at the closing net asset
    value ("NAV") per share as determined by the Fund on June 30, 1996.
    Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, using the Fund
    NAV next determined after receipt of sale or redemption order without sales
    charges. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the
    ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined on a first-in,
    first-out basis.
 
B.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
    The operations of the Life Account are a part of and are taxed with the
    total operations of WRL, which is taxed as a life insurance company under
    the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, the investment income of the
    Life Account, including realized and unrealized capital gains, is not
    taxable to WRL. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been
    made.

    deducted by WRL prior to allocation of policyowner payments to the
    sub-accounts. Thereafter, monthly administrative charges are deducted from
    the sub-accounts, some of which continue only during the first policy year.
    Contingent surrender charges may also apply.
 
    Under the other forms of the Policies, such "front-end" and other
    administrative charges are not deducted prior to allocation of the initial
    premium payment but may reside as contingent surrender charges.
 
    Under all forms of the Policy, monthly charges against policy cash values
    are made to compensate WRL for costs of insurance provided.
 
B.  LIFE ACCOUNT CHARGES
 
    A daily charge equal to an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets
    of the Life Account is assessed to compensate WRL for assumption of
    mortality and expense risks in connection with issuance and administration
    of the Policies. This charge (not assessed at the individual policy level)
    effectively reduces the value of a unit outstanding during the year.
 
NOTE 3 - DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
     Dividends of the Fund's Money Market Portfolio are declared daily and
