NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF
           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The WRL Series Life Account (the "Life Account") was established as a
variable life insurance separate account of the Western Reserve Life Assurance
Co. of Ohio ("WRL") and is registered as a unit investment trust ("Trust") under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Life Account contains
thirteen investment options referred to as sub-accounts. Each sub-account
invests in the corresponding portfolio of the WRL Series Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"), a registered management investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. These portfolios and their respective investment
management organizations are as follows:

    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 May 1, 1996, WRL made an initial contribution to the Life Account
C.A.S.E. Growth and Value Equity sub-accounts, which in turn invested in the
respective portfolios. The amount of the contribution and the units received are
as follows:

SUB-ACCOUNT                   CONTRIBUTION          UNITS
- -----------                   ------------     -------------
C.A.S.E. Growth                 $ 25,000        2,500.000000
Value Equity                     200,000       20,000.000000

    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 the financial statements in accordance wth generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect 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 September 30, 1996.
     Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, using the Fund
     NAV per share 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                              27

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     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
reinvested monthly. Dividends of the remaining portfolios are declared and
reinvested semi-annually, 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

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.

DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF
           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The WRL Series Life Account (the "Life Account") was established as a
variable life insurance separate account of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co.
of Ohio ("WRL") and is registered as a unit investment trust ("Trust") under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Life Account contains eleven
investment options referred to as sub-accounts. Each sub-account invests in the
corresponding portfolio of the WRL Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), a registered
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. These portfolios and their respective investment management
organizations are as follows:

</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:

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Western
Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. Our audits also included the statutory-basis financial statement
schedules required by Regulation S-X, Article 7. These financial statements and
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the "Separate Account Assets" and "Separate Account Liabilities"
in the balance sheet of the Company. The Separate Account financial statements
were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the data included for the Separate Account, is
based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

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. 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 and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of
Ohio. The variances between such practices and generally accepted accounting
principles are described in Note 1. The effects of these variances are not
reasonably determinable but we believe they are material.

In our opinion, because of the materiality of the effects of the variances
between generally accepted accounting principles and the accounting practices
referred to in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to
above are not intended to and do not present fairly, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Western
Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio at December 31, 1995 and 1994, or the results
of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995.

<PAGE>

In addition, in our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other
auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co.
of Ohio at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance
Department of the State of Ohio. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic statutory-basis
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.

                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio ("the Company") is a stock life
insurance company and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First AUSA Life Insurance
Company which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc.
("AEGON"). AEGON is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON nv, a holding company
organized under the laws of the Netherlands.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company operates predominantly in the variable universal life and variable
annuity areas of the life insurance business. The Company is licensed in 49
states and the District of Columbia. Sales of the Company's products are through
financial planners, independent representatives, financial institutions and
stockbrokers. The majority of the Company's new life insurance written and a
substantial portion of new annuities written is done through one marketing
organization; the Company expects to maintain this relationship for the
foreseeable future.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions
could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact
the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the
State of Ohio, which practices differ in some respects from generally accepted
accounting principles. The more significant of these differences are as follows:
(a) bonds are generally carried at amortized cost rather than segregating the
portfolio into held-to-maturity (carried at amortized cost), available-for-sale
(carried at fair value), and trading (carried at fair value) classifications;
(b) acquisition costs of acquiring new business are charged to current
operations as incurred rather than deferred and amortized over the life of the
policies; (c) policy reserves on traditional life products are based on
statutory mortality rates and interest which may differ from reserves based on
reasonable assumptions of expected mortality, interest, and withdrawals which
include a provision for possible unfavorable deviation from such assumptions;
(d) policy reserves on certain investment products use discounting methodologies
utilizing statutory interest rates rather than full account values; (e)
reinsurance amounts are netted against the corresponding receivable or payable
rather than shown as gross amounts on the balance sheet; (f) deferred income
taxes are not provided for the difference between the financial statement and
income tax bases of assets and liabilities; (g) net realized gains or losses
attributed to changes in the

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

level of interest rates in the market are deferred and amortized over the
remaining life of the bond or mortgage loan, rather than recognized as gains or
losses in the statement of operations when the sale is completed; (h) declines
in the estimated realizable value of investments are provided for through the
establishment of a formula-determined statutory investment reserve (carried as a
liability) changes to which are charged directly to surplus, rather than through
recognition in the statement of operations for declines in value, when such
declines are judged to be other than temporary; (i) certain assets designated as
"non-admitted assets" have been charged to surplus rather than being reported as
assets; (j) revenues for universal life and investment products consist of
premiums received rather than policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy
administration charges, amortization of policy initiation fees and surrender
charges assessed; and (k) pension expense is recorded as amounts are paid. The
effects of these variances have not been determined by the Company.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) currently is in the
process of recodifying statutory accounting practices, the result of which is
expected to constitute the only source of "prescribed" statutory accounting
practices. Accordingly, that project, which is expected to be completed in 1996,
will likely change, to some extent, prescribed statutory accounting practices
and may result in changes to the accounting practices that the Company uses to
prepare its statutory-basis financial statements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with remaining maturities of one year or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents. This amount includes $6,500 of short-term intercompany
notes receivable at December 31, 1995.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in bonds (except those to which the Securities Valuation Office of
the NAIC has ascribed a value), mortgage loans on real estate and short-term
investments are reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accrual of discounts. Amortization is computed using methods which result in a
level yield over the expected life of the security. The Company reviews its
prepayment assumptions on mortgage and other asset backed securities at regular
intervals and adjusts amortization rates prospectively when such assumptions are
changed due to experience and/or expected future patterns. Investments in
preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost. Investments in preferred
stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or market. Common
stocks are carried at market and include shares of mutual funds (money market
and other). Real estate is reported at cost less allowances for depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method. Policy loans
are reported at unpaid principal. Other "admitted assets" are valued,
principally at cost, as required or permitted by Ohio Insurance Laws.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific
identification and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. The Asset
Valuation Reserve (AVR) is established by the Company to provide for anticipated
losses in the event of default by issuers of certain invested assets. These
amounts are determined using a formula prescribed by the NAIC and are reported
as a liability. The formula for the AVR provides for a corresponding adjustment
for realized gains and losses, net of amounts attributed to changes in the
general level of interest rates. Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the
Company defers, in the Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR), the portion of
realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally
bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of
interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to
maturity of the security.

During 1995, 1994 and 1993, net realized capital gains of $554, $436 and $4,270,
respectively, were credited to the IMR rather than being immediately recognized
in the statements of operations. Amortization of these net gains aggregated
$882, $726 and $618 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue
income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or
foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate
where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not
accrued when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $1, $237 and $0,
respectively, with respect to such practices.

AGGREGATE RESERVES FOR POLICIES

Life and annuity reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined
based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and
valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater
than or equal to the minimum required by law.

The aggregate policy reserves for traditional life insurance policies are based
principally upon the 1941, 1958, and 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary
Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from
2.25% to 5.50% and are computed principally on the Net Level Valuation and the
Commissioner's Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM). Reserves for universal life
policies are based on account balances adjusted for the CRVM.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners' Annuity
Reserve Valuation Method plus excess interest reserves to cover situations where
the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in
excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate
annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are
equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging
from 7.00% to 9.25% and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of
tables.

POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIM RESERVES

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to
the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the statement date.
These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or
statistical analysis techniques. Because estimates are subject to the effects of
trends in claim severity and frequency, the estimates are continually reviewed
and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes
available.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and variable
annuity contracts and the Company's corresponding obligation to the contract
owners are shown separately in the balance sheets. The assets in the separate
accounts are valued at market. Income and gains and losses with respect to the
assets in the separate accounts accrue to the benefit of the policyholders. The
Company received variable contract premiums of $467,142, $533,536 and $489,243
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. All variable account contracts are subject
to discretionary withdrawal by the policyholder at the market value of the
underlying assets less the current surrender charge.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 and 1993 financial
statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.


2. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statutory-basis
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates
using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the

           Notes to Financial Statements - Statutory-Basis (continued)
                             (Dollars in thousands)

2. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived
fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparisons to independent
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the
instrument. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
requirements and allows companies to forego the disclosures when those estimates
can only be made at excessive cost. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

   CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The carrying amounts
   reported in the statutory-basis balance sheet for these instruments
   approximate their fair values.

   INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including
   redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted market prices, where
   available. For fixed maturity securities not actively traded, fair values are
   estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or (in the
   case of private placements) are estimated by discounting expected future cash
   flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality,
   and maturity of the investments. The fair values for equity securities are
   based on quoted market prices and are recognized in the statutory-basis
   balance sheet.

   MORTGAGE LOANS AND POLICY LOANS: The fair values for mortgage loans are
   estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates
   reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the
   loans. The fair value of policy loans are assumed to equal their carrying
   value.

   INVESTMENT CONTRACTS: Fair values for the Company's liabilities under
   investment-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow
   calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar
   contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts
   being valued.

Fair values for the Company's insurance contracts other than investment
contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of
liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the
Company's overall management of interest rate risk, which minimizes exposure to
changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with
amounts due under insurance contracts.

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

During 1995, 1994 and 1993, no mortgage loans were foreclosed and transferred to
real estate. During 1994, a mortgage loan loss reserve of $1,033 was
established. This reserve was released in 1995 coincident with the loss
recognition of $1,409 on a loan payoff.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had no investments (excluding U. S. Government
guaranteed or insured issues) which individually represented more than ten
percent of capital and surplus and the asset valuation reserve.

4. REINSURANCE

The Company reinsures portions of certain insurance policies which exceed its
established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and
minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable
with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability
in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its
obligations under the reinsurance treaty.

                               1995              1994              1993

                             ============================================

The Company received reinsurance recoveries in the amount of $512, $1,146 and
$1,135 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers that have been deducted from
policy and contract claim reserves totaled $2 and $85, respectively. The
aggregate reserves for policies and contracts were reduced for reserve credits
for reinsurance ceded at December 31, 1995 and 1994 of $848 and $807,
respectively.

</TABLE>

Prior to 1984, as provided for under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1959,
a portion of statutory income was not subject to current taxation, but was
accumulated for income tax purposes in a memorandum account referred to as the
policyholders' surplus account. No federal income taxes have been provided for
in the financial statements on income deferred in the policyholders' surplus
account ($293 at December 31, 1995). To the extent dividends are paid from the
amount accumulated in the policyholders' surplus account, net earnings would be
reduced by the amount of tax required to be paid. Should the entire amount in
the policyholders' surplus account become taxable, the tax thereon computed at
current rates would amount to approximately $103.

In 1995, the Company reached a final settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service for 1987 through 1993 resulting in taxes of $1,275 and interest of $120
(net of $65 tax effect). The assessment was charged to surplus as a prior period
adjustment.

During 1994, the Company settled tax years 1980 through 1986 with the Internal
Revenue Service. The agreed upon settlement totaled $2.26 million in taxes and
interest. The Company's former parent company, Kansas City Southern Industries,
is principally liable for reimbursing this amount to the Company under the terms
of an indemnification agreement made coincident with the sale of the Company. A
charge to surplus of $1.8 million was made as a prior period adjustment related
to this assessment.

6. POLICY AND CONTRACT ATTRIBUTES

Participating life insurance policies are issued by the Company which entitle
policyholders to a share in the earnings of the participating policies, provided
that a dividend distribution, which is determined annually based on mortality
and persistency experience of the participating policies, is authorized by the
Company. Participating insurance constituted approximately 7.7% and 8.2% of life
insurance in force at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

A portion of the Company's policy reserves and other policyholders' funds relate
to liabilities established on a variety of the Company's products that are not
subject to significant mortality or morbidity risk; however, there may be
certain restrictions placed upon the amount of funds that can be withdrawn
without penalty. The amount of reserves on these products, by withdrawal
characteristics are summarized as follows:

Reserves on the Company's traditional life products are computed using mean
reserving methodologies. These methodologies result in the establishment of
assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be
received between the policy's paid-through date to the policy's next anniversary
date. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, these assets (which are reported as
premiums deferred and uncollected) and the amounts of the related gross premiums
and loadings, are as follows:

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had insurance in force aggregating
$2,374 and $3,403, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the
net premiums required by the standard valuation standards established by the
Insurance Department of the State of Ohio. The Company established policy
reserves of $32 and $40 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

In 1994, the NAIC enacted a guideline to clarify reserving methodologies for
contracts that require immediate payment of claims upon proof of death of the
insured. Companies were allowed to grade the effects of the change in reserving
methodologies over five years. A direct charge to surplus of $3,496 and $450 was
made for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to
the change in reserve methodology.

7. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

Generally, an insurance company's ability to pay dividends is limited to the
amount that their net assets, as determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices, exceed minimum statutory capital requirements. However,
payment of such amounts as dividends may be subject to approval by regulatory
authorities. The maximum dividend payout which may be made without prior
approval in 1996 is approximately $9,644.

8. RETIREMENT AND COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company's employees participate in a qualified benefit plan sponsored by
AEGON. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan. The Company recognizes
pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The pension expense is
allocated among the participating companies based on the FASB Statement No. 87
expense as a percent of salaries. The benefits are based on years of service and
the employee's compensation during the highest five consecutive years of
employment. Pension expense aggregated $505, $397 and $249 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The plan is subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income
Security Act of 1974.

The Company's employees also participate in a contributory defined contribution
plan sponsored by AEGON which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Service Code. Employees of the Company who customarily work at least
1,000 hours during each calendar year and meet the other eligibility
requirements, are participants of the plan. Participants may elect to contribute
up to fifteen percent of their salary to the plan. The Company will match an
amount up to three percent of the participant's salary. Participants may direct
all of their contributions and plan balances to be invested in a variety of
investment options. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure
requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974. Pension
expense related to this plan was $305, $250 and $176 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

AEGON sponsors supplemental retirement plans to provide the Company's senior
management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. The plans are
noncontributory and benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
compensation level. The plans are unfunded and nonqualified under the Internal
Revenue Code. In addition, AEGON has established incentive deferred compensation
plans for certain key employees of the Company. AEGON also sponsors an employee
stock option plan for individuals employed at least three years and a stock
purchase plan for its producers, with the participating affiliated companies
establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer contribution limits and
company matching formula. These plans have been accrued or funded as deemed
appropriate by management of AEGON and the Company.

8. RETIREMENT AND COMPENSATION PLANS (CONTINUED)

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored by
AEGON that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to
employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of the medical and
dental plans are contributory. The expenses of the postretirement plans
calculated on the pay-as-you-go basis are charged to affiliates in accordance
with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $86, $70 and
$0 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company shares certain officers, employees and general expenses with
affiliated companies.

The Company receives investment advisory and management services from certain
affiliates. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company paid $8,825, $7,497 and
$4,583, respectively, for such services, which approximates their costs to the
affiliates. The Company provides office space, marketing and administrative
services to certain affiliates. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company received
$4,545, $3,261 and $1,900, respectively, for such services, which approximates
their cost. The Company had a receivable (payable) with affiliates of $3,625 and
$(674) at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company paid a cash dividend to its immediate parent, First AUSA Life
Insurance Company, of $5,600 in 1993, and during 1994 received capital
contributions of $45,000.

The Company has an agreement with an affiliate through which net agents debit
balances are sold for cash. The net non-admitted assets sold during 1995, 1994
and 1993 aggregated $5,887, $3,553 and $4,555, respectively.

At December 31, 1995, the Company has a $6,500 short-term note receivable from
an affiliate. Interest on this note accrues at 5.82%.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to legal proceedings incidental to its business. Although
such litigation sometimes includes substantial demands for compensatory and
punitive damages in addition to contract liability, it is management's opinion,
after consultation with counsel and a review of available facts, that damages
arising from such demands will not be material to the Company's financial
position.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it
writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies
for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of
other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received
by the Company except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed
by law; amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the
Company's balance sheet. The future obligation has been based on the most recent
information available from the National Organization of Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Association. Potential future obligations for unknown
insolvencies are not determinable by the Company. The Company has established a
reserve of $4,445 at December 31, 1995 for its estimated share of future
guaranty fund assessments related to several post major insurer insolvencies. An
asset of $1,319 at December 31, 1995 has been recorded relating to anticipated
offsets available for certain state premium taxes to be utilized in future
periods. The guaranty fund expense was $1,950, $618 and $329 at December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
