DEAR KEMPER SELECT POLICY OWNER:
 
- ------------------------------------------
GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
We have just completed a period of some discomfort for bond and stock market
traders. Concerns about rising interest rates, the possibility of higher price
inflation and Federal Reserve tightening of credit contributed to considerable
market volatility. But while the professional investors tend to fret over every
economic release, individuals who invest in variable insurance for the long term
were wise to stay the course -- at least until the direction of the economy
became clearer. Indeed, several recent economic measures are quite reassuring
and argue in favor of a continued healthy economy with low inflation.
 
The economy expanded at a 4.2% annual rate in the second quarter, the fastest
pace since the second quarter of 1994. This robust growth is welcome in general
but has tended to roil markets, which fear strong growth will lead to
overheating and inflationary pressures. So far, however, such fears have been
largely unwarranted. With the exception of food prices, whose increases were
weather-related, there have been no significant signs of inflationary pressures.
The economy, as it has done so recently, is in the process of slowing itself
down. While the Federal Reserve Board stands ready to attempt to moderate
economic growth with either interest rate cuts or increases, such intervention
can run the risk of going too far in one direction. It appears that our economy
today is self-regulating.
 
MARKET OUTLOOK
 
Based on these snapshots of the economy, we look for a relatively calmer second
half of 1996. Our forecast calls for growth to slow down in the third and fourth
quarters, resulting in an advance of about 2.5% for the entire year. Assuming
that bond and stock market investors concur that there is no chance of an
overheating economy or significantly rising interest rates, the markets should
also relax.
 
The market volatility that we experienced in May, June and July was caused by
investors who were nervous about the broad economy and some disappointing
earnings reports which made them pessimistic. Yet, the markets performed the way
that history suggests they should: an overall correction in the stock market was
accentuated in technology and small capitalization stocks--the industry sectors
which performance tends to be the most volatile. Once the stock market
corrected, the bond market rallied. Finally, while not producing spectacular
results, international markets provided a stabilizing influence when compared to
U.S. markets.
 
Our market forecast eight months into the year is not much different from what
we forecasted in January. The bond market, which is climbing back from a decline
this year, may provide a 5% total return in 1996. The stock market, after the
correction is completed, may advance 5% to 10% for the year. However, future
market conditions can not be predicted with assurance.
 
In addition, we are projecting that long-term (30-year) interest rates will
hover in the 6.5% to 7.5% range, while short-term interest rates may drop below
their current levels. Finally, we would be surprised if the Federal Reserve
Board moved to adjust interest rates more than 25 basis points either way for
the remainder of the year.
 
Given the economic environment, we do not look for an upset in the upcoming
presidential election. Much more interesting will be which party wins the most
congressional seats. If the Democrats regain control of Congress, a bond market
selloff could be expected.
 
While U.S. markets are expected to provide modest returns, we continue to
advocate the benefits of diversification into alternate markets. Many overseas
markets are forecasted to grow at a rate well above our 2.5% growth expectation
for the U.S., and there are many equity and fixed-income opportunities abroad.
The value of the U.S. dollar, always a concern to international investors, will
probably not strengthen much against other currencies for the foreseeable
future.
 
We would like now to direct your attention to the performance of the Subaccounts
which are invest-

(KINF) portfolio managers.

The current annualized yield was 3.90% for the week ended July 31, 1996; the
compounded effective yield was 3.97%.
 
In the last six-months the economy and expectations have completely shifted. The
period began with sluggish economic growth and a moderate decrease in the
Federal Funds Rate by the Federal Reserve (Fed). However, the strong first
quarter Gross Domestic Product number surprised many given the obstacles faced
at the end of 1995 and beginning of 1996, including a temporary government
shutdown, brutal weather in the East and the General Motors strike. Now, at the
end of June with strong economic growth, it appears that it's just a matter of
time before the Fed increases rates.
 
Along with the market's swift change, we have switched from extending to
shortening the KINF Money Market Portfolio's average maturity. This should allow
us to benefit from any rise in interest rates.

The first six months of 1996 were characterized by volatility in the stock
market and depressed performance from an apprehensive bond market. Concerns
about the direction of interest rates, the pace of economic growth and the
return of price inflation dominated during the period. In response, we took
advantage of the significant flexibility afforded by KINF Total Return
Portfolio's investment strategy and made several adjustments.
 
Within the equity portion, weakness in the technology sector and mixed
performance in capital goods companies negatively impacted the overall results.
During this period, we maintained a commitment to the technology sector. Still
believers in the earnings potential of technology providers, we have reoriented
the Portfolio's exposure toward companies that provide technology services, as
well as buying selected component providers at depressed prices.
 
In the fixed-income sector, only high yield bonds showed strength. Early in the
year, we increased the Portfolio's exposure to high yield and high-grade
corporate bonds while reducing its U.S. Treasuries holdings.
 
We continue to expect high quality technology companies to do well.
Additionally, we look for the Portfolio's interest rate-sensitive and consumer
nondurable stocks to enhance performance in what we expect to be a weakening
economy. The bond market should react well to a slowdown.

High yield bonds performed positively despite a turbulent six months for the
overall bond market. During the period, economic growth began gaining momentum.
Although this upturn in the economy hurt returns in the government and high
grade corporate markets, it did not have the same impact in the high yield bond
market. When the economy is growing, credit quality becomes less of a concern to
investors in high yield corporate bonds. A stronger economy assumes that more
growth in corporate earnings will occur. Solid earnings are essential for
companies to continue paying the interest on their outstanding bond issues.
 
Over the past six months, we maintained an even balance between "cyclical" and
"defensive" investments. During this time, our "cyclical" investments included
issues from the energy sector and "gaming" industry, while we purchased media
investments to fulfill our "defensive" position.
 
The Portfolio experienced relatively few credit concerns and the quality of
issues remained relatively stable. Lower B-rated bonds represented approximately
two-thirds of the investments, while higher quality BB-rated bonds comprised
about one quarter. This positioning provided a good level of income for the
Portfolio, while mitigating some potential risk. As Treasuries and higher
quality bonds rallied late in June this positioning inhibited the Portfolio's
performance slightly.
 
We look for more positive high yield market performance. However, we don't
anticipate that corporate earnings will keep pace with their 1994 and 1995
levels. Our investment focus will continue to be on healthy companies that are
positioned to perform well in the current moderate growth economy.

In late 1995, we had broadened the Portfolio to include exposure to more
economically-sensitive issues such as retail, oil, housing-related stocks and
selected industrial cyclical issues. These are sectors one would expect to
outperform in a period of strong economic growth and our positions did
contribute positive returns. In March we added a small "basket" of international
stocks that are managed with the help of Zurich Kemper's international
investment team based in London. In light of accelerating growth in foreign
economies, we believe the international markets offer potential for good
relative performance going forward.
 
More recently, we've seen increased concerns about a slowdown in earnings growth
and the potential for a general market correction. In this environment, the
challenge is to recognize where the new opportunities are, and our research and
valuation models have been effective in doing that.
 
Looking ahead, we see an upward bias for the market as a whole. Gains will
probably be achieved with additional sector rotation and a much greater level of
volatility than we saw last year. Policy owners can expect more rotation of the
Portfolio based on where our research suggests the new opportunities will be.
Overall, we see good potential for growth stocks, which aren't as dependent on
prevailing economic conditions to maintain and expand earnings.

The last six months was a difficult period for the government market. After
1995's slow economic growth and declining interest rates, the economic
environment began to change in January. Federal budget negotiations stalled, and
an impasse developed, which effectively eliminated the chances for a balanced
budget in the first half of 1996. In addition, economic data released throughout
the period showed stronger than anticipated economic growth and strong
employment figures.
 
These events caused a sell-off in the market, which resulted in higher market
yields. It wasn't until late in June that the market rallied as indicators of
inflation remained tame and technical conditions improved. Although positive,
the rally occurred too late to make a material impact in KINF Government
Securities Portfolio's six-month performance.
 
At the start of the year, the Portfolio was positioned with a longer than
average duration to take advantage of the then declining interest rate
environment. Duration is a measurement of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest
rates. The longer the duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate
changes. As rates rose unexpectedly, the Portfolio's longer duration hurt
performance. We shortened duration to a defensive position and added
mortgage-backed investments to the Portfolio. Mortgage-backed investments were
added because they tend to outperform Treasuries as interest rates rise.
 
The poor overall performance of the market, however, continued to inhibit
performance until June, when the government market and Treasuries in particular,
rallied. We plan to maintain the Portfolio's defensive position until interest
rates stabilize and the direction of the economy becomes more clear.

 + The percent change in accumulation unit value is net of mortality and expense
   risk charges. No adjustment has been made for the cost of insurance charge or
   surrender charges. No withdrawals are assumed.
 
++ In determining performance for Kemper SELECT, the Fund expenses include the
   deduction of management fees of .50% for the Money Market Portfolio, .55% for
   the Total Return Portfolio, .60% for the High Yield Portfolio, .60% for the
   Growth Portfolio, and .55% for the Government Securities Portfolio. Kemper
   SELECT assesses a daily asset charge that amounts to .90% per annum for
   mortality and expense risk. The monthly cost of insurance for Kemper SELECT
   which varies by age, gender and classification, however, is not deducted and
   thus is not reflected in total return and average annual total return
   performance figures. If the performance data reflected the cost of insurance,
   the performance would be significantly lower. Hypothetical illustrations of

insurance are set forth in the 
prospectus. A personal

of insurance is available upon request.
 
A $1,000 payment is used to
calculate average annual total
return. Performance figures for
Kemper SELECT assume no policy
loans and no additional payments
(100% guideline premium plan).
Average annual total return
measures the change in the value of
an investment in the Subaccount.
Average annual total return figures
reflect all fees and charges,
including early withdrawal and
surrender charges as follows: one
year (9%) and five year (5%). The
Money Market Subaccount's current
annualized yield is the seven-day
annualized net investment income
per share as of the date specified.
Gains or losses are not included.
The effective yield reflects
compounding of income.
 
There can be no assurance that the
Money Market Portfolio will be able
to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share. The Money
Market Portfolio is not insured or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

The returns are based upon
historical results and are not
representative of future results.
Factors affecting performance
include portfolio management;
general market, economic and fiscal
conditions; and operating expenses.
Investment return and principal
value will fluctuate so that unit
values, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original
cost. With respect to the High
Yield Portfolio investment in
lower-rated and non-rated
securities present greater risk of
loss to principal and interest than
higher-rated securities.

KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is a unit investment
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
established by Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO"). KILICO is
owned by Kemper Corporation which was acquired by an investor group led by
Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich") on January 4, 1996.
 
The Separate Account receives and invests premiums under a variable life
insurance policy ("Policy"). The Separate Account is divided into five
Subaccounts and each Subaccount invests exclusively in a corresponding Portfolio
of the Kemper Investors Fund (The "Fund"), an open-end diversified management
investment company. The Fund has additional Subaccounts, which are not available
investment vehicles to policy owners of the Separate Account.
 
SECURITY VALUATION
 
The investments are stated at current value which is based on the closing bid
price, net asset value, at June 30, 1996.
 
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date when KILICO
accepts risks of providing insurance coverage to the insured). Dividends and
capital gains distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis.
 
ACCOUNT UNIT TRANSACTIONS
 
Proceeds from a Policy are automatically allocated to the Money Market
Subaccount on the trade date for a 15 day period. At the end of this period, the
Separate Account value (cash value) may be allocated to other Subaccounts as
designated by the owner of the Policy.

On each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for trading,
the accumulation unit value is determined as of the earlier of 3:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) or the close of the Exchange by dividing the total value of each
Subaccount's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of
accumulation units outstanding in the respective Subaccount.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the Federal income tax
return of KILICO. Under existing Federal income tax law, investment income and
realized capital gains and losses of the Separate Account increase liabilities
under the policy and are, therefore, not taxed. Thus the Separate Account may
realize net investment income and capital gains and losses without Federal
income tax consequences.

KEMPER INVESTORS FUND
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
 
Kemper Investors Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end, diversified management
investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts. The Fund offers multiple Portfolios, currently consisting of the
Money Market, Total Return, High Yield, Growth, Government Securities,
International, Small Cap Growth, Investment Grade Bond, Value, Small Cap Value,
Value + Growth, Horizon 20+, Horizon 10+ and Horizon 5 Portfolios.
 
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
INVESTMENT VALUATION.
 
Investments are stated at value.
 
The securities of the Portfolios (excluding the Money Market Portfolio) that are
traded on a domestic securities exchange or securities listed on the NASDAQ
National Market are valued at the last sale price on the exchange or market
where primarily traded or listed or, if there is no recent sale, at the last
current bid quotation. Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on foreign
securities exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of
such securities on their respective exchanges where primarily traded. A security
that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for that security by the Board
of Trustees or its delegates. Securities not so traded or listed are valued at
the last current bid quotation if market quotations are available. Fixed income
securities are valued by using market quotations, or independent pricing
services that use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values
obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar
characteristics. Equity options are valued at the last sale price unless the bid
price is higher or the asked price is lower, in which event such bid or asked
price is used. Exchange traded fixed income options are valued at the last sale
price unless there is no sale price, in which event prices provided by market
makers are used. Over-the-counter traded fixed income options are valued based
upon prices provided by market makers. Financial futures and options thereon are
valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts and
foreign currencies are valued at the forward and current exchange rates,
respectively, prevailing on the day of valuation. Other securities and assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
 
The securities of the Money Market Portfolio are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. In the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more
exists between the Portfolio's $1.00 per share net asset value, calculated at
amortized cost, and the net asset value calculated by reference to market
quotations, or if there is any other deviation that the Board of Trustees
believes would result in a material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the
Board of Trustees will promptly consider what action, if any, should be
initiated.
 
CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
 
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. All assets and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values are converted into
U.S. Dollars at the mean between the bid and offered quotations of such
currencies against the U.S. Dollar as last quoted by a recognized dealer. If
such quotations are not readily available, the rate of exchange is determined in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Income and expenses and purchases and sales
of investments are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Portfolios include
that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign
exchange rates with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments,
as appropriate.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   23
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME.
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to
buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as
the information is available to the Fund. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and includes discount amortization on all fixed income securities
and premium amortization on mortgage-backed securities. Realized gains and
losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
 
Several of the Portfolios may purchase securities with delivery or payment to
occur at a later date. At the time a Portfolio enters into a commitment to
purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security
is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with
market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Portfolio until payment takes
place. At the time the Portfolio enters into this type of transaction it is
required to segregate cash or other liquid assets equal to the value of the
securities purchased. At June 30, 1996, the Government Securities Portfolio had
$16,252,000 of purchase commitments outstanding (19% of net assets) with a
corresponding amount of assets segregated.
 
EXPENSES.
 
Expenses arising in connection with a Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio.
Other Fund expenses are allocated among the Portfolios in proportion to their
relative net assets.
 
FUND SHARE VALUATION.
 
Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis to the
separate accounts of participating insurance companies where permitted by law.
On each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, each Portfolio
determines its net asset value per share (NAV) by dividing the total value of
the Portfolio's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of
Portfolio shares outstanding. The NAV is determined as of the earlier of 3:00
p.m. Chicago time or the close of the Exchange for all Portfolios except the
Money Market Portfolio, and at 11:00 a.m. and as of the earlier of 3:00 p.m.
Chicago time or the close of the Exchange for the Money Market Portfolio.
Because of the need to obtain prices as of the close of trading on various
exchanges throughout the world, the calculation of net asset value for the
International Portfolio does not take place contemporaneously with the
determination of prices of the Fund's foreign securities.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
 
Each Portfolio has complied or intends to comply with the special provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The accumulated net realized loss on sales of investments
for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 1996 amounted to approximately
$22,163,000 in the High Yield Portfolio and $3,567,000 in the Government
Securities Portfolio. These losses are available to offset future taxable gains
in the respective Portfolios and, if not applied, expire during the period 1998
through 2004.
 
DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
 
All Portfolios except the Money Market Portfolio declare and pay dividends of
net investment income and net realized capital gains annually, which are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Money Market Portfolio declares a daily
dividend equal to its net investment income for that day, payable monthly.
 
Shareholders will receive dividends in additional shares.
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   24
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax principles which may
treat certain transactions differently from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
certain transactions such as foreign currency transactions, if applicable.
 
EQUALIZATION ACCOUNTING.
 
A portion of proceeds from sales and cost of redemptions of Fund shares in all
Portfolios except the Money Market Portfolio is credited or charged to
undistributed net investment income so that income per share available for
distribution is not affected by sales or redemptions of shares.
 
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Fund has a management agreement with Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. (ZKI),
the Fund's investment manager for each Portfolio except the Value and Small Cap
Value Portfolios. For management services and facilities furnished, the Fund
pays a fee, based on average daily net assets, at an annual rate of .50% for the
Money Market Portfolio, .55% for the Total Return and Government Securities
Portfolios, .60% for the High Yield, Growth, Investment Grade Bond, Horizon 20+,
Horizon 10+ and Horizon 5 Portfolios, .65% for the Small Cap Growth Portfolio
and .75% for the International and Value + Growth Portfolios. Dreman Value
Advisors, Inc. (DVA), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZKI, serves as the investment

(6) FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
The Total Return, High Yield and Government Securities Portfolios have entered
into exchange traded financial futures contracts in order to help protect
themselves from anticipated market conditions and, as such, bear the risk that
arises from owning these contracts. At the time a Portfolio enters into a
futures contract, it is required to make a margin deposit with its custodian.
Subsequently, gain or loss is recognized and payments are made on a daily basis
between the Portfolios and the broker as the market value of the futures
contract fluctuates. At June 30, 1996, the market value of assets pledged by the
Portfolios to cover margin requirements for open futures positions were
$135,000, $26,000 and $1,055,000 for the Total Return, High Yield and Government
Securities Portfolios, respectively. The Portfolios also had liquid securities
in their portfolio sufficient to cover the following short Treasury futures
positions open at June 30, 1996 that expire in September, 1996.

(7) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
In order to protect themselves against a decline in the value of particular
foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar, the Total Return, Growth and
International Portfolios have entered into forward contracts to deliver foreign
currency in exchange for U.S. Dollars as described below. The Portfolios bear
the market risk that arises from changes in foreign exchange rates, and
accordingly, the net unrealized gain on these contracts is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements. The Portfolios also bear the credit risk if
the counterparty fails to perform under the contract. At June 30, 1996, the
Portfolios had the following forward foreign currency contracts outstanding with
settlement dates in July, 1996:

Average commission rate paid per share on stock transactions for the six months

commissions when expressed as cents per share due to the lower per share price
of many non-U.S. securities.
