CONSECO VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)

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

(1) GENERAL
   Conseco  Variable Annuity Account C (formerly Great American Reserve Variable
Annuity  Account  C)  ("Account  C") was  established  in  1980 as a  segregated
investment account for individual and group variable annuity contracts which are
registered  under the Securities Act of 1933.  Account C is registered under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended (the "Act"),  as a unit  investment
trust. Account C was originally registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission as a diversified  open-end  management  investment  company under the
Act.  Effective  May 1,  1993,  Account C was  restructured  into a single  unit
investment  trust  which  invested  solely in shares  of the  portfolios  of the
Conseco Series Trust, a diversified open-end management investment company.
   The  operations  of  Account C are  included  in the  operations  of  Conseco
Variable  Insurance  Company (the  "Company")  pursuant to the provisions of the
Texas  Insurance  Code.  The Company is an indirect  wholly owned  subsidiary of
Conseco,  Inc., a publicly-held  specialized  financial services holding company
listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

   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  increases and decreases in net assets from  operations  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION, TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
   Investments  in portfolio  shares are valued using the net asset value of the
respective  portfolios at the end of each New York Stock Exchange  business day.
Investment share  transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (the date
the order to purchase  or redeem  shares is  executed)  and  dividend  income is
recorded on the  ex-dividend  date. The cost of investments in portfolio  shares
sold is determined on a first-in  first-out  basis.  Account C does not hold any
investments which are restricted as to resale.

   Net  investment  income  and  net  realized  gains  (losses)  and  unrealized
appreciation  (depreciation)  on  investments  are allocated to the contracts on
each  valuation  date based on each  contract's  pro rata share of the assets of
Account C as of the beginning of the valuation date.

 FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
   No  provision  for  federal  income  taxes has been made in the  accompanying
financial  statements  because the  operations  of Account C are included in the
total  operations of the Company,  which is treated as a life insurance  company
for federal income tax purposes under the Internal  Revenue Code. Net investment
income and realized gains (losses) are retained in Account C and are not taxable
until  received  by the  contract  owner or  beneficiary  in the form of annuity
payments or other distributions.

CONSECO VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED

JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)

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

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ANNUITY RESERVES
   Deferred  annuity  contract  reserves are comprised of net contract  purchase
payments less  redemptions  and benefits.  These reserves are adjusted daily for
the net  investment  income  and net  realized  gains  (losses)  and  unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
   Annuity  payment  reserves  for  contracts  under which  contract  owners are
receiving periodic retirement payments are computed according to the Progressive
Annuity  Mortality Table and the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table. The assumed
net investment  rate is equal to the assumed rate of  accumulation.  The annuity
unit values for periodic retirement payments are as follows:

                                             June 30,   December 31,
                                               1999        1998

(3) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS IN PORTFOLIO SHARES
   The  aggregate  cost of purchases  of  investments  in portfolio  shares were
$34,436,385 and $63,530,550 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and the year
ended  December 31, 1998,  respectively.  The  aggregate  proceeds from sales of
investments in portfolio  shares were  $35,787,686  and  $63,152,626 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, and the year ended December 31, 1998, respectively.

(4) DEDUCTIONS AND EXPENSES
   Although  periodic  retirement  payments to contract owners vary according to
the investment performance of the portfolios,  such payments are not affected by
mortality or expense  experience  because the Company  assumes the mortality and
expense risks under the contracts.
   The  mortality  risk  assumed by the Company  results  from the life  annuity
payment  option in the  contracts  in which the Company  agrees to make  annuity
payments regardless of how long a particular annuitant or other payee lives. The
annuity  payments  are  determined  in  accordance  with annuity  purchase  rate
provisions  established  at the  time the  contracts  are  issued.  Based on the
actuarial  determination of expected mortality,  the Company is required to fund
any deficiency in the annuity payment reserves from its general account assets.
   The expense risk assumed by the Company is the risk that the  deductions  for
sales and  administrative  expenses may prove  insufficient  to cover the actual
sales and administrative expenses.
   The Company  deducts daily from Account C a fee,  which is equal on an annual
basis to 1.00 percent of the daily value of the total  investments of Account C,
for  assuming  the  mortality  and expense  risks  except for the Equity,  Fixed
Income,  and Money Market  portfolios of the Conseco  Series Trust,  the fees of
which are 0.64 percent, 0.74 percent and 0.99 percent, respectively.  These fees
were  $1,009,243  and $1,827,897 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and the
year ended December 31, 1998, respectively.
   Pursuant to an  agreement  between  Account C and the  Company  (which may be
terminated  by  the  Company  at any  time),  the  Company  provides  sales  and
administrative  services to Account C, as well as a minimum  death benefit prior
to  retirement  for certain  contracts.  Under  individual  contracts  and group
deferred compensation contracts,  the Company may deduct a percentage of amounts
surrendered to cover sales  expenses.  The percentage  varies up to 8.00 percent
based on the type of  contract  and the  number of years the  contract  has been
held. In addition, the Company deducts units from certain contracts annually and
upon full surrender to cover an administrative fee of $15, $20, or $25. This fee
is recorded as a redemption  in the  accompanying  Statements  of Changes in Net
Assets.  Under  group  contracts  no longer  being sold,  the Company  deducts a
percentage  of the  renewal  contract  purchase  payments  to  cover  sales  and
administrative expenses and the minimum death benefit prior to retirement of the
contract owners. Sales and administrative charges were $101,290 and $597,806 for
the six  months  ended June 30,  1999,  and the year ended  December  31,  1998,
respectively.

(5) OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
   Conseco  Equity Sales,  Inc.,  an affiliate of the Company,  is the principal
underwriter  and performs all variable  annuity sales functions on behalf of the
Company  through  various  retail  broker/dealers  including  Conseco  Financial
Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Company.

   Net assets consisted of the following at June 30, 1999:
