Contract Holders
Separate Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Separate
Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance Company (comprising,
respectively, the Money Market, High Income, Equity-Income, Growth, Overseas,
Investment Grade Bond, Asset Manager, Index 500, Asset Manager: Growth and
Contrafund Divisions) as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of
operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated therein. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

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. Our procedures included
confirmation of mutual fund shares owned in Variable Insurance Products Fund and
Variable Insurance Products Fund II (Fidelity VIP Funds) as of December 31,
1995, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the Fidelity VIP Funds. 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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective
divisions constituting Separate Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance
Company at December 31, 1995, and the results of their operations and changes in
their net assets for each of the periods indicated herein in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

National Integrity Life Insurance Company ("National Integrity") established
Separate Account I (the "Separate Account") on May 19, 1986, under the insurance
laws of the State of New York for the purpose of issuing flexible payment
variable annuity contracts ("contracts"). The Separate Account is a unit
investment trust registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The operations of the Separate Account are
part of National Integrity.

National Integrity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrity Life Insurance
Company and their ultimate parent is ARM Financial Group, Inc. ("ARM"). ARM is a
financial services company focusing on the long-term saving and retirement
marketplace by providing retail and institutional products and services
throughout the United States.

Contract holders may allocate or transfer their account values to one or more of
the Separate Account's investment divisions or, for certain contract holders, to
a guaranteed interest division provided by National Integrity, or both. Certain
contract holders may also allocate or transfer a portion or all of their account
values to one or more fixed rate guaranteed period options of National
Integrity's Separate Account GPO. The Separate Account investment divisions are
invested in shares of corresponding investment portfolios of the Variable
Insurance Products Fund and Variable Insurance Products Fund II (collectively
the "Fidelity VIP Funds"). The Fidelity VIP Funds are "series" type mutual funds
managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company ("Fidelity Management").
Prior to September 3, 1991, the Separate Account investment divisions then
offered were invested in shares of corresponding portfolios of Prism Investment
Trust. The contract holder's account value allocated to the investment divisions
of the Separate Account reflect the investment performance of the Fidelity VIP
Funds'

corresponding portfolios. The Separate Account currently has ten investment
divisions available. The investment objective of each division and its
corresponding portfolio are the same. Set forth below is a summary of the
investment objectives of the portfolios of the Fidelity VIP Funds.

   Money Market Portfolio seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as
   is consistent with preserving capital and providing liquidity. It invests
   only in high-quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market securities of
   domestic and foreign issuers, such as certificates of deposit, obligations of
   governments and their agencies, and commercial paper and notes.

   High Income Portfolio seeks to obtain a high level of current income by
   investing primarily in high-yielding, lower rated, fixed-income securities,
   while also considering growth of capital. It normally invests at least 65% of
   its total assets in income-producing debt securities and preferred stocks,
   including convertible securities, and up to 20% in common stocks and other
   equity securities.

   Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income by investing primarily in
   income producing equity securities, with the potential for capital
   appreciation as a consideration. It normally invests at least 65% of its
   assets in income-producing common or preferred stock and the remainder in
   debt securities.

   Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve capital appreciation, normally by purchase
   of common stocks, although investments are not restricted to any one type of
   security. Capital appreciation may also be found in other types of
   securities, including bonds and preferred stocks.

   Overseas Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital primarily through
   investments in foreign securities. It normally invests 65% of its assets in
   securities from at least three countries outside North America.

   Investment Grade Bond Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is
   consistent with the preservation of capital by investing in a broad range of
   investment-grade fixed-income securities. It will maintain a dollar-weighted
   average portfolio maturity of ten years or less. For 80% of its assets, the
   portfolio purchases

   only securities rated A or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or
   Standard & Poor's Corporation or unrated securities judged by Fidelity
   Management to be of equivalent quality.

   Asset Manager Portfolio seeks high total return with reduced risk over the
   long-term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds and short-term fixed-
   income instruments. The expected "neutral" mix of assets, which will occur
   when the investment adviser concludes there is minimal relative difference in
   value between the three asset classes, is 40% in equities, 40% in
   intermediate to long-term bonds and 20% in short-term fixed income
   instruments.

   Index 500 Portfolio seeks to provide investment results that correspond to
   the total return (i.e., the combination of capital changes and income) of
   common stocks publicly traded in the U.S. In seeking this objective, the
   Portfolio attempts to duplicate the composition and total return of the
   Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index while keeping transaction
   costs and other expenses low.

   Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio is an asset allocation fund which seeks to
   maximize total return over the long term through investments in stocks,
   bonds, and short-term instruments. The fund has a neutral mix which
   represents the general allocation of the fund's investments over the long
   term. The approximate neutral mix for stocks, bonds and short-term
   investments is 65%, 30% and 5%, respectively.

   Contrafund Portfolio is a growth fund which seeks to increase the value of
   the investment over the long term by investing in equity securities of
   companies that are undervalued or out of favor. This approach focuses on
   companies that are currently out of public favor but show potential for
   capital appreciation. Contrafund Portfolio invests primarily in common stock
   and securities convertible into common stock, but it has the flexibility to
   invest in any type of security that may produce capital appreciation.

The Asset Manager Portfolio's relatively large investment in countries with
limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments
in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The assets of the Separate Account are owned by National Integrity. The portion
of the Separate Account's assets supporting the contracts may not be used to
satisfy liabilities arising out of any other business of National Integrity.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for unit investment trusts.

INVESTMENTS

Investments in shares of the Fidelity VIP Funds are valued at the net asset
values of the respective portfolios, which approximates fair value. The
difference between cost and fair value is reflected as unrealized appreciation
and depreciation of investments.

Share transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
sales of shares of the Fidelity VIP Funds are determined based on the identified
cost basis.

Dividends from income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Dividends from the portfolios are reinvested in the portfolios
and are reflected in the unit value of the divisions of the Separate Account.

UNIT VALUE

Unit values for the Separate Account divisions are computed at the end of each
business day. The unit value is equal to the unit value for the preceding
business day multiplied by a net investment factor. This net investment factor
is determined based on the value of the underlying mutual fund portfolios of the
Separate Account, reinvested dividends and capital gains, new premium deposits
or withdrawals, and the daily asset charge for the

mortality and expense risk and administrative charges. Unit values are adjusted
daily for all activity in the Separate Account.

TAXES

Operations of the Separate Account are included in the income tax return of
National Integrity which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal
Revenue Code. The Separate Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Under existing federal
income tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment income or on the capital
gains of the Separate Account.

3. EXPENSES

National Integrity assumes mortality and expense risks and incurs certain
administrative expenses related to the operations of the Separate Account and
deducts a charge from the assets of the Separate Account at an annual rate of
1.20% and 0.15% of net assets, respectively, to cover these risks and expenses.
In addition, an annual charge of $30 per contract is assessed if the
participant's account value is less than $50,000 at the end of any participation
year prior to the participant's retirement date (as defined by the participant's
contract).

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Integrity Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory basis balance sheet of National
Integrity Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and
surplus, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Insurance Department.  The
variances between such practices and generally accepted accounting principles
and the effects on the accompanying financial statements are described in 
Note 1.

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 National
Integrity Life Insurance Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, or the results
of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.  However, in our
opinion, the supplementary information included in Note 1 presents fairly, in
all material respects, shareholder's equity at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
net income for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                                                               1

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

National Integrity Life Insurance Company ("National Integrity" or the
"Company") is a wholly owned subisidiary of Integrity Life Insurance Company
("Integrity") which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ARM Financial
Group, Inc. ("ARM").  ARM acquired Integrity and the Company from The National
Mutual Life Association of Australasia Limited ("National Mutual").  The Company
is domiciled in the state of New York.  The Company, currently licensed in eight
states and the District of Columbia, provides retail and institutional products
to the long-term savings and retirement marketplace.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York
Insurance Department.  Such practices vary from generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"); the more significant variances from GAAP are as follows:

    INVESTMENTS

    Investments in bonds and preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or
    market value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners
    ("NAIC") rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments are designated at
    purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale.  Held-to-
    maturity fixed investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining
    fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value with unrealized
    holding gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as
    trading and as a separate component of shareholder's equity for those
    designated as available-for-sale.  In addition, fair values of certain
    investments in bonds and stocks are based on values specified by the NAIC,
    rather than on actual or estimated market values.  Mortgage loans on real
    estate in good standing are reported at unpaid principal balances.  Realized
    gains and losses are reported in income net of income tax and transfers to
    the interest maintenance reserve.  Changes between cost and admitted
    investment asset amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned
    surplus rather than to a separate account.  The Asset Valuation
    Reserve is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a
    liability rather than surplus.  Under a formula prescribed by the
    NAIC, National Integrity defers the portion of 

                                                                               9

          Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis) (continued)


1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    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 based on the individual security sold using the seriatim method.
    The net deferral is reported as the "interest maintenance reserve" in the
    accompanying balance sheets. Under GAAP, realized gains and losses are
    reported in the income statement on a pretax basis in the period that the
    asset giving rise to the gain or loss is sold and valuation allowances are
    provided when there has been a decline in value deemed other than temporary,
    in which case, the provision for such declines would be charged to income.

    POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

    Costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under
    GAAP, acquisition costs related to investment-type products, to the extent
    recoverable from future gross profits, are amortized generally in proportion
    to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and
    investment, mortality, and expense margins.

    NONADMITTED ASSETS

    Certain assets designated as "nonadmitted," principally agents' debit
    balances, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged
    directly to unassigned surplus.

    PREMIUMS

    Revenues for investment-type products consist of the entire premium received
    and benefits represent the death benefits paid and the change in policy
    reserves. Under GAAP, such premiums received are accounted for as deposits
    and therefore not recognized as premium revenue; benefits paid equal to the
    policy account value are accounted for as a return of deposit instead of
    benefit expense.

    BENEFIT RESERVES

    Certain policy reserves are calculated using statutorily prescribed interest
    and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or
    actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

                                                                              10

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

INVESTMENTS

Bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and short-term investments, are stated
at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

   Bonds and short-term investments are reported at cost or amortized cost; the
   discount or premium on bonds is amortized using the interest method. For
   loan-backed bonds, anticipated prepayments are considered when determining
   the amortization of discount or premium.

   Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed bonds and structured securities were
   obtained from broker-dealer survey values or internal estimates. These
   assumptions are consistent with the current interest rate and economic
   environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such
   securities.

                                                                              12

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

   Preferred stocks are reported at cost or amortized cost.

   Mortgage loans and policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

   Short-term investments includes investments with maturities of less than one
   year at the date of acquisition.

   Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific
   identification method.

BENEFITS

Insurance 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 or guaranteed policy cash values or the
amounts required by the New York Insurance Department. The Company waives
deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of life and annuity
policy insureds and does not return any premium beyond the date of death.
Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserve.
Policies issued subject to multiple table substandard extra premiums are valued
on the standard reserve basis which recognizes the non-level incidence of the
excess mortality costs.  Additional reserves are established when the results of
cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios indicate the need for
such reserves.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular cost have
been determined by formula as prescribed by the NAIC.

POLICY AND CONTRACT CLAIMS

Unpaid benefits and related expenses are established for estimates of payments
to be made on individual insurance claims that have been incurred and reported,
and estimates of losses which have occurred but have not been reported.
Management believes that its reserve estimate for policy and contract claims is
adequate.

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REINSURANCE

Reinsurance premiums, benefits and expenses are accounted for on bases
consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and
the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums, benefits and expenses, and the
reserves for policy and contract liabilities are reported net, rather than
gross, of reinsured amounts.

SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying balance
sheets represent funds that are separately administered, principally for
variable annuity contracts. Separate account assets are reported at market
value. Surrender charges collectible by the general account in the event of
variable policy surrenders are reported as a negative liability rather than an
asset pursuant to prescribed NAIC accounting practices. The operations of the
separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements,
except for separate accounts with guarantees.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with statutory accounting
practices requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 
presentation of the 1995 financial statements. These reclassifications had no 
effect on previously reported net income or surplus.

2. PERMITTED STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

The Company's statutory basis financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Insurance
Department. "Prescribed" statutory accounting practices include state laws,
regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of
publications of the NAIC. "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass
all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from
state to state, may differ from company to company within 

                                                                              14

a state, and may change in the future. The 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 1997, 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 financial statements. Although the recodification project
is meant to be surplus neutral, there is not enough available information for
the industry to assess the impact of such project.

Fair values are based on published quotations of the Securities Valuation Office
of the NAIC. Fair values generally represent quoted market value prices for
securities traded in the public marketplace, or analytically determined values
using bid or closing prices for securities not traded in the public marketplace.
However, for certain investments for which the NAIC does not provide a value,
the Company uses the amortized cost amount as a substitute for fair value in
accordance with prescribed guidance. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the fair
value of investments in bonds includes $426,972,000 and $343,698,000,
respectively, of bonds that were valued at amortized cost.

The expected maturities in the foregoing table may differ from the contractual
maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties and because asset-
backed and mortgage-backed securities (including floating-rate securities)
provide for periodic payments throughout their life.

Proceeds from the sales of investments in bonds during 1995 and 1994 were
$286,601,000 and $143,164,000; gross gains of $4,404,000 and $385,000, and
gross losses of $5,621,000 and $11,064,000 were realized on those sales,
respectively.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, bonds with an admitted asset value of $1,234,000 
and $1,233,000, respectively, were on deposit with state insurance departments
to satisfy regulatory requirements.

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Company has made no new investments in mortgage loans during 1988. The
maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of the security at the time of
the loan exclusive of any purchase money mortgages is 75%. Fire insurance at
least equal to the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be
permitted by law on the land without the buildings is required on all properties
covered by mortgage loans. As of year-end the Company held no mortgages with
interest more than one year past due. During 1995, no interest rates of
outstanding mortgage loans were reduced. No amounts have been advanced by the
Company.

In connection with the change in control of the Company during 1993, National
Mutual agreed to indemnify the Company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated
November 26, 1993, with respect to (i) principal (up to 100%) of the Company's
mortgage loans' statutory book value as of December 31, 1992 and (ii)
contractual interest payments (based on the original principal amount) of all
acquired commercial and agricultural mortgage loans.  In support of its
indemnification obligations, National Mutual has placed $23.0 million into
escrow in favor of the Company and National Integrity until the mortgage loans
have been repaid in full.

Major categories of the Company's net investment income are summarized as
follows:

4. REINSURANCE

Consistent with prudent business practices and the general practice of the
insurance industry, National Integrity reinsures mortality risks under certain
of its insurance products with other insurance companies through reinsurance
agreements. These reinsurance agreements primarily cover single premium
endowment contracts and variable life insurance policies. Through these
reinsurance agreements, substantially all mortality risks associated with SPE
deposits and substantially all risks associated with variable life business have
been reinsured with non-affiliated insurance companies. A contingent liability
exists with respect to insurance ceded which would become a liability should the
reinsurer be unable to meet the obligations assumed under these reinsurance
agreements. Reinsurance ceded is not significant to the Company's premiums,
benefits or policy and contract liabilities. During 1995, the Company entered
into a reinsurance agreement with General American Life Insurance Company to
assume, on a 50% coinsurance basis, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs").
Policy and contract liabilities assumed under this agreement were $117,770,000
at December 31, 1995. Reinsurance assumed has increased premiums and benefits
paid in 1995 by $117,175,000 and $1,400,000, respectively.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Company files a consolidated return with Integrity. The method of allocation
between the companies is based on separate return calculations.

Income before income taxes differs from taxable income principally due to value 
of insurance in-force, policy acquisition costs, and differences in policy and 
contract liabilities and investment income for tax and financial reporting 
purposes.

The December 31, 1995 tax provision was calculated including net operating loss 
carryover benefits of $4,304,000.

6. SURPLUS

The ability of the Company to pay dividends is limited by state insurance laws. 
Under New York insurance law, the Company may pay dividends only out of its 
earnings and surplus, subject to at least thirty days prior notice to the New 
York Insurance Superintendent and no disapproval from the Superintendent prior 
to the date of such dividend. The Superintendent may disapprove a proposed 
dividend if the Superintendent finds that the financial condition of the Company
does not warrant such distribution.

                                                                              19

          Notes to Financial Statements (Statutory Basis) (continued)

6. SURPLUS (CONTINUED)

The NAIC adopted Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements which became effective 
December 31, 1993, that attempt to evaluate the adequacy of a life insurance 
company's adjusted statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment, 
insurance and other business risks.  The RBC formula will be used by the states 
as an early warning tool to identify possible under capitalized companies for 
the purpose of initiating regulatory action and is not designed to be a basis 
for ranking the financial strength of insurance companies.  In addition, the 
formula defines a new minimum capital standard which supplements the previous 
system of low fixed minimum capital and surplus requirements.  The RBC 
requirements provide for four different levels of regulatory attention depending
on the ratio of the company's adjusted capital and surplus to its RBC.  As of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the adjusted capital and surplus of the Company is
substantially in excess of the minimum level of RBC that would require
regulatory response.

                                                                              20

8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

Separate accounts assets and liabilities represent funds segregated for the
benefit of variable annuity and variable life policyholders who generally bear
the investment risk (mutual fund options), or for certain policyholders who are
guaranteed a fixed rate of return (guaranteed rate options). Assets held in
separate accounts are carried at estimated fair values.

Information regarding the separate accounts of the Company as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1995 is as follows:

9. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of fair value
information about all financial instruments, including insurance liabilities
classified as investment contracts, unless specifically exempted. The fair value
of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale. 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 discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. Accordingly, the aggregate

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, payments of principal and interest on
mortgage loans are guaranteed by National Mutual. Principal received in excess
of statutory book value is to be returned to National Mutual. Accordingly, book
value is deemed to be fair value.

Life and Annuity Reserves for Investment-type Contracts

The fair value of structured settlements and immediate annuities are based on
discounted cash flow calculations using a market yield rate for assets with
similar durations. The fair value of structured settlements and immediate
annuities represents the fair values of those insurance policies as a whole. The
fair value amounts of the remaining annuities are based on the cash surrender
value of the underlying policies.

Separate Account Reserves

The fair value of separate account reserves for investment-type products equals
the cash surrender values.
