                               VARIABLE ACCOUNT B

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  History

Variable Account B (the "Account") is a separate investment account maintained
under the provisions of New York Insurance Law by American International Life
Assurance Company of New York (the "Company"), a subsidiary of American
International Group, Inc. The Account operates as a unit investment trust
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and supports
the operations of the Company's individual flexible premium variable universal
life insurance policies (the "policies").

The Account invests in shares of Alliance Variable Products Series Fund, Inc.
("Alliance Fund"), Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund ("Dreyfus Fund"), Dreyfus
Stock Index Fund, Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund
("Fidelity Trust"), Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("Fidelity
Trust II") and Van Eck Investment Trust ("Van Eck Trust"). The assets in the
policies may be invested in the following subaccounts:

The Account commenced operations on May 4, 1995.

The assets of the Account are the property of the Company. The portion of the
Account's assets applicable to the policies are not chargeable with the
liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the Company.

<PAGE>

In addition to the Account, policy owners may also allocate assets of the
policies to the Guaranteed Account, which is part of the Company's general
account. Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Account are credited with a
guaranteed rate of interest. Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions,
interests in the Guaranteed Account have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Guaranteed Account has not been registered as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.


2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Account in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

A. Investment Valuation - The investments in the Funds are stated at market
value which is the net asset value of each of the respective series as
determined at the close of business on the last business day of the period by
the Fund.

B. Accounting for Investments - Investment transactions are accounted for on the
date the investments are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

C. Federal Income Taxes - The Company is taxed under federal law as a life
insurance company. The Account is part of the Company's total operations and is
not taxed separately. Under existing federal law, no taxes are payable on
investment income and realized capital gains of the Account.

D. The preparation of the accompanying financial statements required management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and
liabilities as of December 31, 1995 and the reported amounts from operations and
policy transactions during 1995. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

3.  Contract Charges

There are charges and deductions which the Company will deduct from each policy.
The deductions from premium are a sales charge of 5% plus the state specific
premium taxes.

Daily charges for mortality and expense risks assumed by the Company are
assessed through the daily unit value calculation and are equivalent on an
annual basis to .90% of the account value of the policies. This charge may be
decreased to not less than .50% in policy years eleven and greater.

On the policies' issue date and each monthly anniversary, the following
deductions are made from the policies' account value:

         (a)      administrative charges

<PAGE>

         (b)      insurance charges
         (c)      supplemental benefit charges.

If the policy is surrendered during the first fourteen policy years, the Company
will deduct a surrender charge based on a percentage of first year premium. A
pro rata surrender charge will be deducted for any partial surrender. An
administrative charge upon partial surrender will be equal to the lessor of
$25.00 or 2% of the amount surrendered.
