REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio
and Policyholders of the WRL Series Life Account
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and
equity accounts and the related statements of operations and of changes in
equity accounts and the selected per unit data and ratios present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Money Market, Bond, Growth,
Short-to-Intermediate Government, Global, Equity-Income, Emerging Growth,
Aggressive Growth, Balanced, Utility and Tactical Asset Allocation Sub-Accounts
of the WRL Series Life Account (a separate account of Western Reserve Life
Assurance Co. of Ohio, hereafter referred to as the "Life Account") at December
31, 1995, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their
equity accounts and the selected per unit data and ratios for each of the
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and selected per unit data and ratios (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Life
Account's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

  Allocation
</TABLE>
 
     WRL and AEGON Management are indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON
USA, Inc., which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON nv, a
Netherlands corporation.
 
     On January 3, 1995, WRL made an initial contribution of $200,000 to the
Life Account, Tactical Asset Allocation sub-account, for which WRL received
20,000.000000 units. On April 20, 1995, WRL redeemed the initial contribution in
the Life Account, Tactical Asset Allocation sub-account, for $209,775.
 
     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 December 31, 1995.
    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.
 
NOTE 2 - CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
     Charges are assessed by WRL in connection with issuance and administration
of the Policies.
 
A.  POLICY CHARGES
 
    Under some forms of the Policies, sales and other administrative charges are
    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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 2 - CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
    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
reinvested monthly. Dividends of the remaining portfolios are declared and
reinvested semiannually, while capital gain distributions are declared and
reinvested annually. Dividends and distributions of the Fund are generally paid
to and reinvested by the Life Account the next business day after declaration.
 
NOTE 4 - OTHER MATTERS
 
     As of December 31, 1995 the equity accounts include net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments as follows:
