(9) "Other  Expenses" for the Ameritas Micro Cap and Ameritas Select  portfolios
are based on estimates, since these are new portfolios. The portfolio investment
adviser (AIC) has  voluntarily  agreed to reimburse each portfolio so that total
annual  operating  expenses  for each  portfolio  will  not  exceed  1.50%.  The
investment   adviser   reserves  the  right  to  terminate   any  waiver  and/or
reimbursement at any time and without notice.
(10) Certain expenses of the Dynamics Fund were absorbed  voluntarily by INVESCO
in order to ensure that  expenses  for the fund,  excluding  any expense  offset
arrangements,  did not  exceed  1.15% of the fund's  average  net  assets.  This
commitment may be changed at any time following  consultation  with the board of
directors.
(11) The manager  waived all of its  management  fee and reimbursed the fund for
certain  expenses  during the period ended  December  31, 1999.  The manager may
discontinue the waiver at any time.
(12) "Other  Expenses" for the Nasdaq-100  Index,  Russell 2000 Small Cap Index,
and S&P MidCap 400 Index portfolios are based on estimates,  since these are new
portfolios.  Total operating  expenses in excess of those stated for each Summit
portfolio are paid by the investment  adviser.  The S&P MidCap 400(R) Index is a
trademark  of The  McGraw-Hill  Companies,  Inc.  The  Nasdaq-100(R)  Index is a

                    AMERITAS VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                               SEPARATE ACCOUNT V
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Ameritas  Variable Life Insurance  Company  Separate Account V (the Account) was
established  on August 28, 1985,  under  Nebraska law by Ameritas  Variable Life
Insurance  Company (AVLIC),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of AMAL  Corporation,  a
majority-owned  affiliate of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (ALIC). The assets of
the  Account  are  segregated  from  AVLIC's  other  assets and are used only to
support variable life products issued by AVLIC.

The Account is registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit  investment  trust.  At  September  30, 2000,  there are  thirty-eight
subaccounts  within  the  Account.  Eight of the  subaccounts  invest  only in a
corresponding  Portfolio of Variable  Insurance  Products  Fund and seven invest
only in a corresponding  Portfolio of Variable  Insurance Products Fund II. Both
funds are diversified  open-end management  investment companies and are managed
by Fidelity Management and Research Company.  Two of the subaccounts invest only
in a  corresponding  Portfolio  of Alger  American  Fund which is a  diversified
open-end  management  investment company managed by Fred Alger Management,  Inc.
Three  of the  subaccounts  invest  only  in a  corresponding  Portfolio  of MFS
Variable Insurance Trust which is a diversified  open-end management  investment
company  managed  by  Massachusetts  Financial  Services  Company.  Five  of the
subaccounts   invest  only  in  a  corresponding   Portfolio  of  The  Universal
Institutional Funds, Inc. which is a diversified open-end management  investment
company  managed by Morgan  Stanley  Asset  Management,  Inc. All five funds are
registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Nine of the
subaccounts invest only in a corresponding Portfolio of Calvert Variable Series,
Inc. Ameritas Portfolios  (Ameritas  Portfolio) which is a diversified  open-end
management  investment company managed by Ameritas  Investment Corp. Four of the
subaccounts  invest only in a  corresponding  Portfolio of the Calvert  Variable
Series,  Inc.  which is a diversified  open-end  management  investment  company
managed by Calvert  Asset  Management,  Inc. Each  Portfolio  pays the manager a
monthly fee for managing its investments and business affairs. The assets of the
Account are carried at the net asset value of the  underlying  Portfolios of the
Funds.  The  value  of the  policyowners'  units  corresponds  to the  Account's
investment  in  the  underlying  subaccounts.  The  availability  of  investment
portfolio and subaccount options may vary between products.

AVLIC  currently  does not  expect to incur any  federal  income  tax  liability
attributable  to the Account with respect to the sale of variable life insurance
policies.   If,  however,   AVLIC  determines  that  it  may  incur  such  taxes
attributable  to the Account,  it may assess a charge for such taxes against the
Account.

2.  USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management  believes that all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal recurring
accruals,  considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim
financial  statements  have been  included.  The results of  operations  for any
interim period are not necessarily  indicative of results for the full year. The
unaudited  interim  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial  statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997.

4.  RELATED PARTIES

The Ameritas  Portfolios are managed by Ameritas  Investment Corp., an affiliate
of AVLIC. Calvert Asset Management, Inc. is also an affiliate of AVLIC.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Ameritas Variable Life Insurance  Company (the Company),  a stock life insurance
company domiciled in the state of Nebraska, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAL
Corporation, a holding company 66% owned by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (ALIC)
and 34% owned by AmerUs Life  Insurance  Company  (AmerUs).  The  Company  began
issuing  variable life insurance and variable annuity policies in 1987 and fixed
premium annuites in 1996. The variable life, variable annuity, and fixed premium
annuity policies are not participating with respect to dividends.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management  believes that all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal recurring
accruals,  considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim
financial  statements  have been  included.  The results of  operations  for any
interim period are not necessarily  indicative of results for the full year. The
unaudited  interim  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial  statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997.

                           UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  the  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic  information,
documents,  and reports as may be  prescribed  by any rule or  regulation of the
Commission heretofore, or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.

Registrant  makes  the  following   representation   pursuant  to  the  National
Securities Markets Improvements Act of 1996:

Ameritas  Variable Life Insurance  Company  represents that the fees and charges
deducted under the contract, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the
services rendered,  the expenses expected to be incurred,  and the risks assumed
by the insurance company.


                              RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

AVLIC'S By-laws provide as follows:

The Company shall  indemnify any person who was, or is a party, or is threatened
to be made a party,  to any  threatened,  pending or completed  action,  suit or
proceeding,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Company or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other
enterprise,  against expenses,  including attorney's fees, judgments,  fines and
amounts paid in settlement  actually and reasonably  incurred in connection with
such action,  suit or  proceeding  to the full extent  authorized by the laws of
Nebraska.

Insofar as  indemnification  for liability  arising under the  Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers,  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction  the  question  of whether  such  indemnification  by it is against
public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Act  and  wil be  governed  by the  final
adjudication of such issue.


                     REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO RULE 6E-3(T)

This  filing is made  pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and  6e-3(T)  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940.
