PROSPECTUS--JANUARY 4, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUED BY
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
THROUGH ITS KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
HOME OFFICE: 1 KEMPER DRIVE, LONG GROVE, ILLINOIS 60049 (800) 321-9313
This Prospectus describes a variable life insurance policy (the "Policy")
offered by Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO"). The Policy
provides for life insurance and for the accumulation of Cash Value on a variable
basis. Premiums under the Policy are flexible, subject to certain restrictions.
The Death Benefit and Cash Value of the Policy may vary to reflect the
investment experience of the KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate
Account").
The Policy meets the definition of "life insurance" under Section 7702 of
the Internal Revenue Code. The Policy may be issued as or become a modified
endowment contract. For a Policy treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be includable in gross income for Federal income tax
purposes.
See "Federal Tax Matters", page 22 for a discussion of laws that affect the
tax treatment of the Policy.
An Owner may allocate premiums under a Policy to one or more of the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. Each Subaccount
invests in shares of one portfolio of an underlying mutual fund. The underlying
mutual funds (and the portfolios of the underlying mutual funds) currently
available under the Policy are: (a) Investors Fund Series (formerly Kemper
Investors Fund) (portfolios--Kemper High Yield, Kemper Government Securities,
Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity and Kemper Small Cap Growth); (b) Janus Aspen
Series (portfolio--Capital Appreciation Portfolio) ("Janus Aspen Capital
Appreciation Portfolio"); (c) PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (portfolios--PIMCO
Low Duration Bond and PIMCO Foreign Bond); (d) Templeton Variable Products
Series Fund (portfolio--Templeton Developing Markets Fund (Class 2 Shares)); and
(e) Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund ("VLIF") (portfolios--Scudder VLIF
International (A-Shares), Scudder VLIF Growth and Income (A-Shares) Scudder VLIF
Bond (A-Shares), and Scudder VLIF Money Market). The other portfolios of the
Funds are not currently available for investment under the Policy. The
accompanying Prospectuses for the Funds describe the investment objectives and
the attendant risks of the portfolios of the Funds. The Cash Value in the Fixed
Account will accrue interest at a rate that is guaranteed by KILICO.
The Policy permits the Owner to choose from two death benefit options.
KILICO guarantees that the Death Benefit payable for a Policy will never be less
than the Death Benefit stated in the Policy Specifications, less Debt, as long
as the Policy is in force. There is no guaranteed Cash Value. If the Surrender
Value is insufficient to cover the charges under the Policy, the Policy will
lapse. A guarantee premium and guarantee period are stated in the Policy
Specifications. Payment of the guarantee premium is not required but if paid as
specified under the Policy will guarantee that the Policy will not lapse during
the guarantee period.
The Owner may examine the Policy and return it to KILICO for a refund
during the Free-Look Period.
It may not be advantageous to purchase a Policy as a replacement for
another type of life insurance policy, or to obtain additional insurance
protection if a flexible premium variable life insurance policy is already
owned.
This Prospectus generally describes only that portion of the Cash Value
allocated to the Separate Account. For a brief summary of the Fixed Account
option see "The Fixed Account Option" on page 7.
THIS PROSPECTUS IS VALID ONLY IF ACCOMPANIED OR PRECEDED BY A CURRENT
PROSPECTUS FOR THE APPLICABLE UNDERLYING FUND. ALL PROSPECTUSES SHOULD
BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC)
CAN BE FOUND IN THE SEC'S WEB SITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON
THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

SUMMARY
The following summary should be read in conjunction with the detailed
information in this Prospectus. You should refer to the heading "Definitions"
for the meaning of certain terms. Variations from the information appearing in
this Prospectus due to individual state requirements are described in
supplements which are attached to this Prospectus, or in endorsements to the
Policy, as appropriate. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the
Policy contained in this Prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force, that
there is no indebtedness, and that current Federal tax laws apply.
The Owner of a Policy pays a premium for life insurance coverage on the
person insured. The Policy is a flexible premium policy, so subject to certain
limitations, a Policy Owner may choose the amount and frequency of premium
payments. The Policy provides for a Surrender Value which is payable if the
Policy is terminated during an Insured's lifetime. The Death Benefit and Cash
Value of the Policy may increase or decrease to reflect investment experience.
There is no guaranteed Cash Value. If the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay
charges under the Policy, the Policy will lapse unless an additional premium
payment or loan repayment is made. A guarantee premium and a guarantee period
are stated in the Policy Specifications. The Policy is guaranteed to remain in
force during the guarantee period provided the sum of the premiums paid less
withdrawals and debt is equal to or greater than the sum of the guarantee
premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," pages 8 and 9, respectively, "Charges and Deductions," page 15,
and "Policy Benefits and Rights," page 10.)
Under certain circumstances, a Policy may be issued as or become a modified
endowment contract as a result of a material change or reduction in benefits as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Excess premiums paid may also cause the
Policy to become a modified endowment contract. For a Policy treated as a
modified endowment contract, certain distributions will be included in the
Owner's gross income for purposes of Federal income tax (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 22.)
The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary named therein. No claim is made that the Policy is in any way
similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund.
POLICY BENEFITS
CASH VALUE. The Policy provides for a Cash Value. The Cash Value will
reflect the amount and frequency of premium payments, the investment experience
of the selected Subaccounts, any values in the Fixed Account and Loan Account,
and charges imposed in connection with the Policy. The Owner bears the entire
investment risk on that portion of the net premiums and Cash Value allocated to
the Separate Account. KILICO does not guarantee a minimum Separate Account
Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash Value," page 12.)
The Owner may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the Surrender
Value, which equals the Cash Value less any applicable surrender charge and
outstanding Debt. Partial withdrawals are also available subject to
restrictions. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
POLICY LOANS. The Owner may borrow up to 90% of the Policy's Cash Value
minus applicable surrender charges. The minimum amount of a loan is $500.
Interest at an effective annual rate of 4.50% in the first nine Policy Years and
3.00% thereafter will be charged on outstanding loan amounts. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 22.)
When a loan is made, a portion of the Policy's Cash Value equal to the
amount of the loan will be transferred from the Separate Account and the Fixed
Account (proportionately, unless the Owner requests otherwise) to the Loan
Account. Cash Values within the Loan Account will earn 3.00% annual interest.
Such earnings will be allocated to the Loan Account. (See "Policy Benefits and
Rights--Policy Loans," page 13.)
If the Policy is treated as a modified endowment contract, a loan will be
treated as a distribution for Federal income tax purposes and may be subject to
tax, withholding and penalties. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
DEATH BENEFITS. As long as the Policy remains in force, the Policy provides
a death benefit payment upon the death of the Insured. The Policy contains two
death benefit options. Under Option A, the death benefit is the Specified Amount
stated in the Policy Specifications. Under Option B, the death benefit is the
Specified Amount stated in the Policy Specifications plus the Cash Value. In
either case, the death benefit will not be less than a specified multiple of the
Cash Value. The death benefit payable will be reduced by any Debt. (See "Policy
Benefits and Rights--Death Benefits," page 10.)

<PAGE> 5
PREMIUMS
The Owner has flexibility concerning the amount and frequency of premium
payments. At the time of application, the Owner will determine a Planned
Premium. However, the Owner will not be required to adhere to the schedule and,
subject to certain restrictions, may make premium payments in any amount and at
any frequency. The amount, frequency, and period of time over which an Owner
pays premiums may affect whether the Policy will be classified as a modified
endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium payment is $50. Other minimums
apply for other payment modes.
Payment of the scheduled premium will not guarantee that a Policy will
remain in force. Instead, the duration of the Policy depends on the Policy's
Surrender Value. A guarantee premium and a guarantee period are stated in the
Policy Specifications. A Policy will remain in force during the guarantee period
provided the sum of the premiums paid less withdrawals and Debt is equal to or
greater than the sum of the guarantee premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums,"
page 8.)
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The portion of the premium available for allocation
equals the premium paid less applicable charges. An Owner indicates in the
application for the Policy the percentages of premium to be allocated among the
Subaccounts of the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. The Policy currently
offers twelve Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a designated
portfolio of one of the Funds.
On the day following the date of receipt, the initial premium less
applicable charges will be allocated to the Scudder VLIF Money Market
Subaccount. On the Trade Date, the Separate Account Value in the Scudder VLIF
Money Market Subaccount will be allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account in accordance with the Owner's instructions in the application. (See
"The Policy -- Policy Issue," page 8.)
TRANSFERS. Separate Account Value may be transferred among the Subaccounts.
One transfer of all or part of the Separate Account Value may be made within a
fifteen day period. Transfers are also permitted between the Fixed Account and
the Subaccounts, subject to restrictions. (See "Allocation of Premiums and
Separate Account Value," page 9.)
THE FUNDS
The following portfolios of the Investors Fund Series (formerly Kemper
Investors Fund) are currently available for investment by the Separate Account:
KEMPER HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO, KEMPER GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO,
KEMPER-DREMAN HIGH RETURN EQUITY PORTFOLIO AND KEMPER SMALL CAP GROWTH
PORTFOLIO.
The following portfolio of Janus Aspen Series is currently available for
investment by the Separate Account:
CAPITAL APPRECIATION PORTFOLIO.
The following portfolios of PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust are currently
available for investment by the Separate Account:
PIMCO LOW DURATION BOND AND PIMCO FOREIGN BOND.

currently available for investment by the Separate Account:

(A-SHARES), SCUDDER VLIF BOND (A-SHARES) AND SCUDDER VLIF MONEY MARKET.
For a more detailed description of the Funds, see "The Funds," page 5, the
Funds' prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information available upon
request.

<PAGE> 6
CHARGES
A state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% is deducted from each premium
payment under the Policy prior to allocation of the net premium. In addition, a
charge of 1% of each premium payment will be deducted to compensate KILICO for
higher corporate income tax liability resulting from changes in the tax law made
by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. (See Charges and
Deductions--Deductions from Premiums, page 15.)
No other charges are currently made from premium or the Separate Account
for Federal, state or other taxes. Should KILICO determine that such taxes may
be imposed, it may make deductions from the Separate Account to pay those taxes.
(See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
Deductions will be made from the Policy's Cash Value in each Subaccount and
the Fixed Account on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Processing Date for the
cost of providing life insurance coverage for the Insured. In addition, KILICO
deducts an asset charge from each Subaccount on a daily basis for the assumption
by KILICO of certain mortality and expense risks incurred in connection with the
Policy, at an annual rate of .90%. (See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of
Insurance Charge and Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," page 15.)
A $5 per month administrative expense charge is deducted from the Policy's
Cash Value on each Monthly Processing Date. (See "Charges and
Deductions--Monthly Administrative Charge," page 15.)
If, prior to the 15th Policy year or the 15th Policy Year following an
increase in Specified Amount, the Policy is surrendered or the Cash Value is
applied under a Settlement Option, a surrender charge will be deducted. (See
"Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
In addition, the Subaccounts of the Separate Account purchase shares of the
Funds. Each Portfolio of the Funds incurs annual fund operating expenses which
consist of management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses. (See "Charges and
Deductions--Charges Against the Funds," page 17.)
TAX TREATMENT UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW
The Cash Value, while it remains in the Policy, and the Death Benefit
should be subject to the same Federal income tax treatment as the cash value
under a conventional fixed benefit life insurance policy. Under existing tax
law, the Owner is generally not deemed to be in receipt of the Cash Value under
a Policy until a distribution occurs through a withdrawal or surrender.
Generally, distributions are not included in income until the amount of the
distributions exceed the premiums paid for the Policy. If the Policy is treated
as a modified endowment contract (MEC), a loan will also be treated as a
distribution. Generally, distributions from a MEC (including loans) are included
in income to the extent the Cash Value exceeds premiums paid for the Policy. A
change of Owners, an assignment, a loan or a surrender of the Policy may have
tax consequences.
Death Benefits payable under the Policy should be completely excludable
from the gross income of the Beneficiary. As a result, the Beneficiary generally
will not be subject to income tax on the Death Benefit. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 22.)
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
The Owner is granted a period of time to examine a Policy and return it for
a refund. The applicable period of time will depend on the state in which the
Policy is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date the Policy
is received by the Owner. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Free-Look Period and
Exchange Rights," page 14.)
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES, SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS
Tables in Appendix A illustrate the Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits based upon certain hypothetical assumed rates of return for the
Separate Account and the charges deducted under the Policy.

KILICO AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO"), 1 Kemper Drive, Long
Grove, Illinois 60049, was organized in 1947 and is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Illinois. KILICO is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation, a nonoperating holding company.
Kemper Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Holding Company of
America ("ZHCA"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Company
("Zurich"). KILICO offers life insurance and annuity products and is admitted to
do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New York.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") was established
by KILICO as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate
Account will receive and invest net premiums under the Policy. In addition, the
Separate Account may receive and invest net premiums for other variable life
insurance policies offered by KILICO.
The Separate Account is administered and accounted for as part of the
general business of KILICO, but the income, capital gains or capital losses of
the Separate Account are credited to or charged against the assets held in the
Separate Account, without regard to any other income, capital gains or capital
losses of any other separate account or arising out of any other business which
KILICO may conduct. The benefits provided under the Policy are obligations of
KILICO.
The Separate Account has been registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Such registration does not involve
supervision by the Commission of the management, investment practices or
policies of the Separate Account or KILICO.
The Policy currently offers twelve Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests
exclusively in shares of one of the corresponding portfolios of the Funds.
Income and both realized and unrealized gains or losses from the assets of each
Subaccount generally are credited to or charged against that Subaccount without
regard to income, gains or losses from any other Subaccount of the Separate
Account or arising out of any business KILICO may conduct. Additional
Subaccounts may be added in the future. Not all Subaccounts may be available in
all jurisdictions or under all Policies.
THE FUNDS
The Separate Account invests in shares of the Investors Fund Series
(formerly Kemper Investors Fund), Janus Aspen Series, PIMCO Variable Insurance
Trust, Templeton Variable Products Series Fund and Scudder Variable Life
Investment Fund, series type mutual funds registered with the Commission as
open-end management investment companies. Registration of the Funds does not
involve supervision of their management, investment practices or policies by the
Commission. The Funds are designed to provide investment vehicles for variable
life insurance and variable annuity contracts. Shares of the Funds currently are
sold only to insurance company separate accounts and certain qualified
retirement plans. In addition to the Separate Account, shares of the Funds may
be sold to variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts of
insurance companies not affiliated with KILICO. It is conceivable that in the
future it may be disadvantageous for variable life insurance separate accounts
of companies unaffiliated with KILICO, or for variable life insurance separate
accounts, variable annuity separate accounts and qualified retirement plans to
invest simultaneously in the Funds. Currently neither KILICO nor the Funds
foresees any such disadvantages to variable life insurance owners, variable
annuity owners or qualified retirement plans. Management of the Funds has an
obligation to monitor events to identify material conflicts between such owners
and determine what action, if any, should be taken. In addition, if KILICO
believes that a Fund's response to any of those events or conflicts
insufficiently protects the Owners, it will take appropriate action on its own.
The Separate Account invests in the underlying portfolios of the Funds. The
assets of each portfolio are held separate from the assets of the other
portfolios, and each portfolio has its own distinct investment objective and
policies. Each portfolio operates as a separate investment fund, and the income,
gains or losses of one portfolio generally have no effect on the investment
performance of any other portfolio.

prospectus for each Fund and each Fund's Statement of Additional Information.
CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
KILICO reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to make additions to,
deletions from, or substitutions for the shares held by the Separate Account or
that the Separate Account may purchase. KILICO reserves the right to eliminate
the shares of any of the portfolios of the Funds and to substitute shares of
another portfolio of the Funds or of another investment company, if the shares
of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in its judgment
further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view of the
purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. KILICO may also eliminate or
combine one or more subaccounts, transfer assets, or it may substitute one
subaccount for another subaccount, if, in its sole discretion, marketing, tax or
investment conditions warrant. KILICO will not substitute any shares
attributable to an Owner's interest in a Subaccount of the Separate Account
without notice to the Owner and prior approval of the Commission, to the extent
required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. Nothing contained in this
Prospectus shall prevent the Separate Account from purchasing other securities
for other series or classes of policies, or from permitting a conversion between
series or classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Owners.
KILICO also reserves the right to establish additional subaccounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or
in shares of another investment company, with a specified investment objective.
New subaccounts may be established when, in the sole discretion of KILICO,
marketing needs or investment conditions warrant, and any new subaccounts may be
made available to existing Owners as determined by KILICO.
If deemed by KILICO to be in the best interests of persons having voting
interests under the Policy, the Separate Account may be: (a) operated as a
management company under the 1940 Act; (b) deregistered under that Act in the
event such registration is no longer required; or (c) combined with other KILICO
separate accounts. To the extent permitted by law and subject to any regulatory
approvals, KILICO may also transfer the assets of the Separate Account to
another separate account, or to the General Account.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
NET PREMIUMS ALLOCATED BY POLICY OWNERS TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT OF THE POLICY
AND TRANSFERS TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT BECOME PART OF THE GENERAL ACCOUNT OF KILICO,
WHICH SUPPORTS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. BECAUSE OF EXEMPTIVE AND
EXCLUSIONARY PROVISIONS, INTERESTS IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") NOR IS THE FIXED ACCOUNT
REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
GENERALLY ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE 1933 OR 1940 ACTS AND KILICO HAS
BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT
REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS WHICH RELATE TO THE FIXED PORTION.
DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE
ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
Under the Fixed Account Option offered under the Policies, KILICO allocates
payments to its General Account and pays a fixed interest rate for stated
periods. This Prospectus describes only the element of the Contract pertaining
to the Separate Account except where it makes specific reference to fixed
accumulation and settlement elements.
7
<PAGE> 10
The Policies guarantee that payments allocated to the Fixed Account will
earn a minimum fixed interest rate of 3%. KILICO, at its discretion, may credit
interest in excess of 3%. KILICO reserves the right to change the rate of excess
interest credited as provided under the terms of the Policy. KILICO also
reserves the right to declare separate rates of excess interest for net premiums
or amounts transferred at designated times, with the result that amounts at any
given designated time may be credited with a higher or lower rate of excess
interest than the rate or rates of excess interest previously credited to such
amounts and net premiums or amounts transferred at any other designated time.
THE POLICY
POLICY ISSUE
Before KILICO will issue a Policy, it must receive a completed application
and a full initial premium at its Home Office. A Policy ordinarily will be
issued only for Insureds Age 1 through 75 who supply satisfactory evidence of
insurability to KILICO. Acceptance of an application is subject to underwriting
by KILICO.
After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to the Owner,
insurance coverage under the Policy will be deemed to have begun as of the
Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
PREMIUMS
Premiums are to be paid to KILICO at its Home Office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks ordinarily must be made payable to KILICO.
PLANNED PREMIUMS. When applying for a Policy, a Policy Owner will specify a
Planned Premium payment that provides for the payment of level premiums over a
specified period of time. However, the Policy Owner is not required to pay
Planned Premiums.
The minimum monthly premium that will be accepted by KILICO is $50. For
modes other than monthly the minimums are: single premium $5,000; annual $600;
semi-annual $300; quarterly $150. The amount, frequency and period of time over
which a Policy Owner pays premiums may affect whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract, which is a type of life insurance
contract subject to different tax treatment than conventional life insurance
contracts for certain pre-death distributions. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
Accordingly, variations from the Planned Premiums on a Policy that is not
otherwise a modified endowment contract may result in the Policy becoming a
modified endowment contract for tax purposes.
Payment of the Planned Premium will not guarantee that a Policy will remain
in force. Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the Policy's
Surrender Value. Even if Planned Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse any
time Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the current monthly deductions and a
Grace Period expires without sufficient payment. (See "Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement.")
A guarantee period and a monthly guarantee premium are specified in the
Policy Specifications. The guarantee period is the period that ends on the third
Policy anniversary. During the guarantee period, the policy will remain in force
and no grace period will begin provided that the total premiums received, less
any withdrawals and any outstanding loans, equals or exceeds the monthly
guarantee premium times the number of months since the Policy Date, including
the current month.
KILICO may reject or limit any premium payment that is below the current
minimum premium amount requirements, or that would increase the death benefit by
more than the amount of the premium. All or a portion of a premium payment will
be rejected and returned to the Owner if it would disqualify the Policy as life
insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
Certain charges will be deducted from each premium payment. (See "Charges
and Deductions.") The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, will
be allocated as described below under "Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value."
POLICY DATE. The Policy Date is the date used to determine Policy Years and
Monthly Processing Dates. The Policy Date will be the date that coverage on the
Insured takes effect. If such date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the
Policy Date will be the first of the following month.
In the event an application is declined by KILICO, the Cash Value in the
Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions
and deductions against premiums will be refunded.
The full initial premium is the only premium required to be paid under a
Policy. However, additional premiums may be necessary to keep the Policy in
force. (See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
8
<PAGE> 11
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The initial net premium will be allocated to the
Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value will remain in
the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount until the Trade Date. On the Trade
Date, the Separate Account Value in the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount
will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account as elected by the
Owner in the application for the Policy. Additional premiums received will
continue to be allocated in accordance with the Owner's instructions in the
application unless contrary instructions are received. Once a change in
allocation is made, all future premiums will be allocated in accordance with the
new allocation, unless contrary written instructions are received. The minimum
amount of any premium that may be allocated to a Subaccount is $50. Cash Value
may be allocated to a total of ten accounts at any given time.
The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. The Owner bears the entire investment risk.
TRANSFERS. After the Trade Date, Separate Account Value may be transferred
among the Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account. One transfer of all or a part
of the Separate Account Value may be made within a fifteen day period. All
transfers made during a business day will be treated as one request.
Fixed Account Value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of part of the Fixed Account Value may be made once each Policy Year in
the thirty day period following the end of a Policy Year.
Transfer requests must be in writing in a form acceptable to KILICO, or by
telephone authorization under forms authorized by KILICO. (See "General
Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.") The minimum partial transfer amount
is $500. No partial transfer may be made if the value of the Owner's remaining
interest in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are to be
transferred, would be less than $500 after such transfer. These minimums may be
waived for reallocations under established third party asset allocation
programs. Transfers will be based on the Accumulation Unit values next
determined following receipt of valid, complete transfer instructions by KILICO.
The transfer provision may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time by
KILICO. KILICO reserves the right to charge up to $25 for each transfer. KILICO
disclaims all liability for acting in good faith in following instructions which
are given in accordance with procedures established by KILICO, including
requests for personal identifying information, that are designed to limit
unauthorized use of the privilege. Therefore, a Policy Owner would bear this
risk of loss in the event of a fraudulent telephone transfer.
If a Policy Owner authorizes a third party to transact transfers on the
Policy Owner's behalf, we will reallocate the Cash Value pursuant to the asset
allocation program determined by such third party. However, we do not offer or
participate in any asset allocation program and we take no responsibility for
any third party asset allocation program. We may suspend or cancel acceptance of
a third party's instructions at any time and may restrict the investment options
that will be available for transfer under third party authorizations.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. A Policy Owner may elect to have transfers
made automatically among the Subaccounts of the Separate Account on an annual or
a quarterly basis so that Cash Value is reallocated to match the percentage
allocations in the Policy Owner's predefined premium allocation elections.
Transfers under this program will not be subject to the $500 minimum transfer
amounts. An election to participate in the automatic asset reallocation program
must be in writing in the form prescribed by KILICO and returned to KILICO at
its home office.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. Lapse will occur when the Surrender Value of a Policy is
insufficient to cover the monthly deductions, and a grace period expires without
a sufficient payment being made. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
A grace period of 61 days will be given to the Owner. It begins when notice
is sent that the Surrender Value of the Policy is insufficient to cover the
monthly deductions. Failure to make a premium payment or loan repayment during
the grace period sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months will
cause the Policy to lapse and terminate without value.
If payment is received within the grace period, the premium or loan
repayment will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in
accordance with the most current allocation instructions, unless otherwise
requested. Amounts over and above the amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be
paid as additional premiums, however, to the extent otherwise permitted. (See
"The Policy--Premiums.")
9
<PAGE> 12
KILICO will not accept any payment that would cause the total premium
payment to exceed the maximum payment permitted by the Code for life insurance
under the guideline premium limits. However, the Owner may voluntarily repay a
portion of Debt to avoid lapse. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
If premium payments have not exceeded the maximum payment permitted by the
Code, the Owner may choose to make a larger payment than the minimum required
payment to avoid the recurrence of the potential lapse of coverage. The Owner
may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments.
The death benefit payable during the grace period will be the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to the grace period, less any Debt and any unpaid
monthly deductions.
REINSTATEMENT. If a Policy lapses because of insufficient Surrender Value
to cover the monthly deductions, and it has not been surrendered for its
Surrender Value, it may be reinstated at any time within three years after the
date of lapse. Tax consequences may affect the decision to reinstate.
Reinstatement is subject to:
(1) receipt of evidence of insurability satisfactory to KILICO;
(2) payment of a minimum premium sufficient to cover monthly deductions for
the grace period and to keep the Policy in force three months; and
(3) payment or reinstatement of any Debt against the Policy which existed
at the date of termination of coverage.
The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy will be the Monthly
Processing Date that coincides with or next follows the date the application for
reinstatement is approved by KILICO. Suicide and incontestability provisions
will apply from the effective date of reinstatement.
POLICY BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
DEATH BENEFITS
While the Policy is in force (see "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement--Lapse,"
above), the death benefit is based on the death benefit option, the Specified
Amount and the table of death benefit percentages applicable at the time of
death. The death benefit proceeds will be equal to the death benefit minus any
Debt and minus any monthly deductions due during the grace period.
A Policy Owner may select one of two death benefit options: Option A or
Option B. An applicant designates the death benefit option in the application.
Subject to certain restrictions, the Owner can change the death benefit option
selected. So long as the Policy remains in force, the death benefit under either
option will never be less than the Specified Amount.
The Specified Amount is chosen by the Owner on the application and is
stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified Amount permitted
under the Policy is $50,000.
OPTION A. Under Option A, the death benefit will be equal to the Specified
Amount or, if greater, the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the Insured dies) multiplied by a death benefit percentage.
The death benefit percentages vary according to the age of the Insured and will
be at least equal to the cash value corridor in Section 7702 of the Internal
Revenue Code. The death benefit percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or
under, and it declines for older Insureds. A table showing the death benefit
percentages is in the Appendix B to this Prospectus and in the Policy.
OPTION B. Under Option B, the death benefit will be equal to the Specified
Amount plus the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Insured dies) or, if greater, the Cash Value multiplied by a
death benefit percentage. The specified percentage is the same as that used in
connection with Option A and as stated in the Appendix. The death benefit under
Option B will always vary as Cash Value varies.
EXAMPLES OF OPTIONS A AND B. The following examples demonstrate the
determination of death benefits under Options A and B. The examples show three
Policies--Policies I, II, and III--with the same Specified
10
<PAGE> 13
Amount, but Cash Values that vary as shown, and which assume an Insured is Age
35 at the time of death and that there is no outstanding Debt.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY I POLICY II POLICY III
-------- --------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Specified Amount.......................... $100,000 $100,000 $100,000

Death Benefit Under Option B.............. $125,000 $150,000 $187,500
</TABLE>
Under Option A, the death benefit for Policy I is equal to $100,000 since
the death benefit is the greater of the Specified Amount ($100,000) or the Cash
Value at the date of death multiplied by the death benefit percentage ($25,000 X
250% = $62,500). For both Policies II and III under Option A, the Cash Value
multiplied by the death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000 for Policy
II; $75,000 X 250% = $187,500 for Policy III) is greater than the Specified
Amount ($100,000), so the death benefit is equal to the higher value. Under
Option B, the death benefit for Policy I is equal to $125,000 since the death
benefit is the greater of Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $25,000 =
$125,000) or the Cash Value multiplied by the death benefit percentage ($25,000
X 250% = $62,500). Similarly, in Policy II, Specified Amount plus Cash Value
($100,000 + $50,000 = $150,000) is greater than Cash Value multiplied by the
death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000). In Policy III, the Cash
Value multiplied by the death benefit percentage ($75,000 X 250% = $187,500) is
greater than the Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $75,000 =
$175,000), so the death benefit is equal to the higher value.
All calculations of death benefit will be made as of the end of the
Valuation Period during which the Insured dies. Death benefit proceeds may be
paid to a Beneficiary in a lump sum or under a payment plan offered under the
Policy. The Policy should be consulted for details.
Death Benefits under the Policy will ordinarily be paid within seven days
after KILICO receives all documentation required for such a payment. Payments
may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See "General Provisions --
Postponement of Payments")
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
After the first Policy Year, a Policy Owner may request that the death
benefit under the Policy be changed from Option A to Option B, or from Option B
to Option A. Changes in the death benefit option may be made only once per
Policy Year and should be made in writing to KILICO's Home Office. The effective
date of any such change is the next Monthly Processing Date after the change is
accepted.
A change in the death benefit from Option A to Option B will result in a
reduction in the Specified Amount of the Policy by the amount of the Policy's
Cash Value, with the result that the death benefit payable under Option B at the
time of the change will equal that which would have been payable under Option A
immediately prior to the change. The change in option will affect the
determination of the death benefit since Cash Value will then be added to the
new Specified Amount, and the death benefit will then vary with Cash Value.
A change in the death benefit from Option B to Option A will result in an
increase in the Specified Amount of the Policy by the amount of the Policy's
Cash Value, with the result that the death benefit payable under Option A at the
time of the change will equal that which would have been payable under Option B
immediately prior to the change. However, the change in option will affect the
determination of the death benefit since the Cash Value will no longer be added
to the Specified Amount in determining the death benefit. From that point on,
the death benefit will equal the new Specified Amount (or, if higher, the Cash
Value times the applicable specified percentage).
A change in death benefit option may affect the future monthly cost of
insurance charge since this charge varies with the net amount at risk, which
generally is the amount by which the death benefit exceeds Cash Value. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") Assuming that the Policy's
death benefit would not be equal to Cash Value times a death benefit percentage
under either Option A or B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally
decrease the future net amount at risk, and therefore decrease the future cost
of insurance charges. Changing from Option A to Option B will generally result
in a net amount at risk that remains level. Such a change, however, will result
in an increase in the cost of insurance charges over time, since the cost of
insurance rates increase with the Insured's Age.
11
<PAGE> 14
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After the first Policy Year, a Policy Owner may request an increase or
decrease in the Specified Amount under a Policy subject to approval from KILICO.
A change in Specified Amount may only be made once per Policy Year and must be
in an amount at least equal to $25,000. Increases are not allowed after the
Insured attains age 75. Increasing the Specified Amount could increase the death
benefit under a Policy, and decreasing the Specified Amount could decrease the
death benefit. Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences. (See
"Federal Tax Matters.") The amount of change in the death benefit will depend,
among other things, upon the death benefit option chosen by the Owner and the
degree to which the death benefit under a Policy exceeds the Specified Amount
prior to the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent
level of the death benefit while the Policy is in force and the subsequent level
of Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase the net amount at
risk under a Policy, which will increase an Owner's cost of insurance charge and
the guarantee premium amount. However, the guarantee period will not be extended
as a result of an increase in Specified Amount. Conversely, a decrease in
Specified Amount may decrease the net amount at risk, which will decrease an
Owner's cost of insurance charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not
decrease the guarantee premium.
INCREASES. Additional evidence of insurability satisfactory to KILICO will
be required for an increase in Specified Amount.
DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount will first be applied to the
most recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A
decrease will not be permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the
lesser of the initial Specified Amount or $50,000. If a decrease in the
Specified Amount would result in total premiums paid exceeding the premium
limitations prescribed under tax law to qualify the Policy as a life insurance
contract, KILICO will refund the Policy Owner the amount of such excess above
the premium limitations. Some or all of the amount refunded may be subject to
tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
KILICO reserves the right to disallow a requested decrease, and will not
permit a requested decrease, among other reasons, (1) if compliance with the
guideline premium limitations under tax law resulting from the requested
decrease would result in immediate termination of the Policy, or (2) if, to
effect the requested decrease, payments to the Owner would have to be made from
Cash Value for compliance with the guideline premium limitations, and the amount
of such payments would exceed the Surrender Value under the Policy.
Any request for an increase or decrease in Specified Amount must be made by
written application to KILICO's Home Office. It will become effective on the
Monthly Processing Date on or next following KILICO's acceptance of the request.
If the Owner is not the Insured, KILICO will also require the consent of the
Insured before accepting a request.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is living on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, KILICO will pay the Owner the Surrender Value of the
Policy. On the Maturity Date, the Policy will terminate and KILICO will have no
further obligations under the Policy.
CASH VALUE
The Policy's Cash Value will reflect the investment experience of the
selected Subaccounts, the frequency and amount of premiums paid, transfers
between Subaccounts, withdrawals, any Fixed Account or Loan Account values, and
any charges assessed in connection with the Policy. An Owner may make partial
withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the Policy and receive the Policy's
Surrender Value, which equals the Cash Value less surrender charges and Debt.
(See "Surrender Privilege.") There is no minimum guaranteed Cash Value.
CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. The Cash Value of the Policy is the total of the
Policy's Separate Account Value, Fixed Account Value and Loan Account value. The
Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It will first be calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial premium, less
the monthly deductions for the first Policy Month. (See "Charges and
Deductions.")
On any Valuation Date during the Policy Year, the Policy's Separate Account
Value in any Subaccount will equal:
(1) The Policy's Separate Account Value in the Subaccount at the end
of the preceding Valuation Period, multiplied by the Investment Experience
Factor (defined below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
12
<PAGE> 15
(2) Any net premiums received during the current Valuation Period
which are allocated to the Subaccount; plus
(3) All amounts transferred to the Subaccount, either from another
Subaccount or the Fixed Account or from the Loan Account in connection with
the repayment of a Policy loan (see "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans,") during the current Valuation Period; minus
(4) The pro rata portion of the monthly cost of insurance charge,
administrative charge, and any other charges assessed to the Subaccount.
(See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge."); minus
(5) All amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(6) All amounts withdrawn from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(7) All amounts loaned from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period.
There will also be Cash Value in the Loan Account if there is a Policy loan
outstanding. The Loan Account is credited with amounts transferred from
Subaccounts in connection with Policy loans. The Loan Account balance accrues
daily interest at an effective annual rate of 3.00%. (See "Policy Benefits and
Rights--Policy Loans.")
The Cash Value in the Fixed Account is credited with interest at the annual
rate declared by KILICO. The annual rate will never be less than 3%.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. Each Subaccount has a distinct Accumulation Unit
Value. When net premiums or other amounts are allocated to a Subaccount, a
number of units are purchased based on the Accumulation Unit Value of the
Subaccount at the end of the Valuation Period during which the allocation is
made. When amounts are transferred out of, or deducted from, a Subaccount, units
are redeemed in a similar manner.
For each Subaccount, the Accumulation Unit Value was initially set at the
same unit value as the net asset value of a share of the underlying Fund. The
Accumulation Unit Value for each subsequent Valuation Period is the Investment
Experience Factor for that Valuation Period multiplied by the Accumulation Unit
Value for the immediately preceding period. Each Valuation Period has a single
Accumulation Unit Value which applies for each day in the period. The number of
Accumulation Units will not change as a result of investment experience. The
Investment Experience Factor may be greater or less than one; therefore, the
Accumulation Unit Value may increase or decrease.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FACTOR. The investment experience of the Separate
Account is calculated by applying the Investment Experience Factor to the
Separate Account Value in each Subaccount during a Valuation Period. Each
Subaccount has its own distinct Investment Experience Factor. The Investment
Experience Factor of a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is determined by
dividing (1) by (2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:
(1) is the net result of:
a. The net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the investment held in the Subaccount division, if the
"ex-dividend" date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or
minus
c. a charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the current valuation
period which we determine to have resulted from the investment
operations of the Subaccount;
(2) is the net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount, determined at the end of the last prior Valuation Period;
(3) is the factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.")
POLICY LOANS
After the first Policy Year, the Owner may by written request to KILICO
borrow all or part of the maximum loan amount of the Policy. The maximum loan
amount is 90% of the Policy's Cash Value minus applicable surrender charges. The
amount of any new loan may not exceed the maximum loan amount less Debt on the
date a loan is granted. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. Any amount due an
Owner under a Policy Loan
13
<PAGE> 16
ordinarily will be paid within 7 days after KILICO receives a loan request at
its Home Office, although payments may be postponed under certain circumstances.
(See "Postponement of Payments," and "Federal Tax Matters.")
On the date a Policy loan is made, an amount equal to the loan amount will
be transferred from the Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account.
Unless the Owner directs otherwise, the loaned amount will be deducted from the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in proportion to the values that each bears to
the Separate Account Value of the Policy in all of the Subaccounts plus the
Fixed Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during which the request
is received.
The loan interest will be assessed at an effective annual rate of 4.5% in
the first nine Policy Years and 3.00% thereafter. Interest not paid when due
will be added to the loan amount due upon the earlier of the next Policy Date
anniversary or when coverage ceases upon lapse, surrender, death or maturity and
bear interest at the same rate. When interest is added to the loan amount, a
transfer in this amount will be made from the Separate Account and the Fixed
Account to the Loan Account.
Cash Value in the Loan Account will earn 3.00% annual interest. Such
earnings will be allocated to the Loan Account.
LOAN REPAYMENT. While the Policy is in force, policy loans may be repaid
at any time, in whole or in part. At the time of repayment, Cash Value in the
Loan Account equal to the amount of the repayment which exceeds the difference
between interest due and interest earned will be allocated to the Subaccounts
and the Fixed Account according to the Owner's current allocation instructions,
unless otherwise requested by the Owner. Transfers from the Loan Account to the
Separate Account or the Fixed Account as a result of the repayment of Debt will
be allocated at the end of the Valuation Period during which the repayment is
received. Such transfers will not be counted in determining the transfers made
within a 15 day period.
EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay the charges necessary to keep the Policy
in force. If Surrender Value on the day immediately preceding a Monthly
Processing Date is less than the monthly deductions for the next month, KILICO
will notify the Owner. (See "General Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.")
The Policy will lapse and terminate without value, unless a sufficient payment
is made to KILICO within 61 days of the date such notice is sent to the Owner.
(See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan will have an effect on the
Cash Value of a Policy. The collateral for the loan (the amount held in the Loan
Account) does not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or the
current interest rate of the Fixed Accounts while the loan is outstanding. If
the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the amount that would
have been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the Cash Value will,
and the Death Benefit may, be higher as a result of the loan. Conversely, if the
amount credited to the Loan Account is less than would have been earned in the
Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the Cash Value, as well as the Death Benefit,
may be less.
TAX TREATMENT. If the Policy is treated as a modified endowment contract, a
loan will be treated as a distribution and will be includible in income to the
extent the Cash Value exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy. Therefore, a
loan may be subject to Federal income tax and a 10% tax penalty may also apply.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
While the Insured is living and the Policy is in force, the Owner may
surrender the Policy for its Surrender Value. To surrender the Policy, the Owner
must make written request to KILICO at its Home Office and return the Policy to
KILICO. The Surrender Value is equal to the Cash Value less any applicable
Surrender Charge and any Debt. (See "Surrender Charge," below.)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, a Policy Owner may make
withdrawals of amounts less than the Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each
withdrawal is $500 and the maximum amount at any time that a surrender charge is
assessable is 10% of the Surrender Value. A $25 withdrawal charge will be
imposed for processing each withdrawal. (See "Charges and Deductions.") A
withdrawal will decrease the Cash Value by the amount of the withdrawal and, if
Death Benefit Option A is in effect, will reduce the Specified Amount by the
amount of the withdrawal.
FREE-LOOK PERIOD AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
The Owner may, until the end of the period of time specified in the Policy,
examine the Policy and return it for a refund. The applicable period of time
will depend on the state in which the Policy is issued; however, it will
14
<PAGE> 17
be at least 10 days from the date the Policy is received by the Owner, or, 45
days after the Owner completes the application for insurance, whichever is
later. The amount of the refund will be the sum of the Cash Value in the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and
deductions made against Premiums. An Owner seeking a refund should return the
Policy to KILICO at its Home Office or to the agent who sold the Policy.
At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, the Owner may
exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life insurance
policy then currently being offered by KILICO or an affiliate on the life of the
Insured. No evidence of insurability will be required. The amount of the new
policy may be, at the election of the Owner, either the initial Death Benefit or
the same net amount at risk as the Policy on the exchange date. All Debt under
the Policy must be repaid and the surrender of the Policy is required before the
exchange is made. The Policy Date and issue age will be the same as existed
under the Policy.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
A state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% is deducted from each premium
payment under the Policy prior to allocation of the net premium. This charge is
to reimburse KILICO for the payment of state premium taxes. KILICO expects to
pay an average state premium tax rate of approximately 2.5% but the actual
premium tax attributable to a Policy may be more or less. In addition, a charge
for federal taxes equal to 1% of each premium payment will be deducted to
compensate KILICO for a higher corporate income tax liability resulting from
changes made to the Internal Revenue Code by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1990.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
A monthly deduction is made from the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account for
the cost of insurance to cover KILICO's anticipated mortality costs. The cost of
insurance charge is deducted monthly in advance and is allocated among the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in proportion each bears to the Cash Value of
the Policy less Debt.
The cost of insurance will be deducted on the Policy Date and on each
Monthly Processing Date thereafter by the cancellation of units. If the Monthly
Processing Date falls on a day other than a Valuation Date, the charge will be
determined on the next Valuation Date. The cost of insurance charge is
determined by multiplying the applicable cost of insurance rate (see below) by
the "net amount at risk" for each policy month. The net amount at risk is equal
to the Death Benefit minus the Cash Value on the Monthly Processing Date.
COST OF INSURANCE RATE. The monthly cost of insurance rates are based on
the issue age, sex, rate class of the Insured and Policy Year. The monthly cost
of insurance rates will be determined by KILICO based on its expectations as to
future mortality experience. Any change in the schedule of rates will apply to
all individuals of the same class as the Insured. The cost of insurance rate may
never exceed those shown in the table of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance
rates in the Policy. The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on
the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality
Tables, Age Nearest Birthday, published by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners.
RATE CLASS. The rate class of an Insured will affect the cost of insurance
rate. KILICO currently places Insureds in preferred rate classes and rate
classes involving a higher mortality risk. The cost of insurance rates for rate
classes involving a higher mortality risk are multiples of the preferred rates.
(See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Rate," above.)
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
A daily charge is deducted from the Subaccounts of the Separate Account for
mortality and expense risks assumed by KILICO. This charge will be at an annual
rate of 0.90%.
The mortality and expense risk assumed is that KILICO's estimates of
longevity and of the expenses incurred over the lengthy period the Policy may be
in effect--which estimates are the basis for the level of other charges KILICO
makes under the Policy--will not be correct.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
KILICO deducts a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse it for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to owners. This charge is
15
<PAGE> 18
designed only to reimburse KILICO for certain actual administrative expenses.
Currently, this charge is $5 per month.
OTHER CHARGES
SURRENDER CHARGE. During the first fourteen (14) Policy Years and the first
fourteen (14) Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount, if the
Policy is surrendered or if the Cash Value is applied under a Settlement Option,
a Surrender Charge will be deducted from the Policy's Cash Value. The Surrender
Charge consists of the sum of:
(a) an administrative component (issue charge); and
(b) a sales component (deferred sales charge).
The sum of (a) and (b) are multiplied by (c), the applicable surrender
charge percentage.
During the first fourteen (14) Policy Years following an increase in
Specified Amount, an additional surrender charge will apply. The additional
charge will be calculated as described below based on the amount of the
increase, years commencing on the date of the increase and Target Premium
associated with the increase.
The applicable Surrender Charge will be determined based upon the date of
receipt of the written request for surrender.
(a) Issue Charge. The issue charge is a level charge of $5.00 per thousand
of Specified Amount and the sum of coverage amounts for any other insureds.
This charge is designed to cover the administrative expenses associated
with underwriting and issuing a Policy, including the costs of processing
applications, conducting medical examinations, determining insurability and the
Insured's underwriting class, and establishing policy records.
(b) Deferred Sales Charge. The deferred sales charge is (i) 30% of premiums
paid up to one Target Premium shown in the Policy and (ii) for the sum of all
premiums paid in excess of one Target Premium ("excess premium charge"), a
percentage which varies by the issue age of the insured as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Excess Premium Charge Issue Ages
--------------------- ----------
<S> <C>
7.5% 0-65
5.0% 66-75
</TABLE>
The deferred sales charge is to reimburse KILICO for some of the expenses
of distributing the Policies.
16
<PAGE> 19
(c) Surrender Charge Percentage. As stated above, a surrender charge
percentage is applied to the sum of the deferred issue charge and deferred sales
charge due during the first fourteen (14) Policy Years and the first fourteen
(14) Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. For issue ages up
to age 66, the surrender charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-5 and will
decline by 10% each year in Policy Years 6-14 until reaching zero at the
beginning of Policy Year 15. For issue ages 66-75, the surrender charge
percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-3 and will decline by 10% each year in
Policy Years 4-11 and by 5% in Policy Years 12-14 until reaching zero at the
beginning of Policy Year 15.

additional premium amount of $1,000 in excess of the Target Premium, for a total
premium of $1,630. Assume further that she surrenders the Policy during the
second Policy Year. The Surrender Charge would be calculated as follows:

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. A charge of $25 will be imposed for each partial
withdrawal. This charge is designed to reimburse KILICO for the administrative
expenses related to the withdrawal.
TRANSFER CHARGE. KILICO reserves the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. The transfer charge is designed to reimburse KILICO for the
administrative expenses related to the transfer.
TAXES. Currently, no charges are made against the Separate Account for
Federal, state or other taxes that may be attributable to the Separate Account.
KILICO may, however, in the future impose charges for Federal income taxes
attributable to the Separate Account. Charges for other taxes, if any,
attributable to the Policy may also be made. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
CHARGES AGAINST THE FUND. Under the investment advisory agreements between
each Fund, on behalf of the portfolios, and the investment manager and/or
adviser, such entities provide investment advisory and/or management services
for the portfolios. The Funds are responsible for the advisory fees and various
other expenses. The investment advisory fees differ with respect to each of the
portfolios of the Funds. (See "The Funds.")
17
<PAGE> 20
In addition, the Subaccounts of the Separate Account purchase shares of the
Funds. Each Portfolio of the Funds incurs annual fund operating expenses which
consist of management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses. (See "Charges and
Deductions--Charges Against the Funds," page 18.) The management fees for each
Portfolio for the year ending December 31, 1997 as a percentage of average net
assets were as follows: Kemper High Yield 0.60%; Kemper Government Securities
0.55%; Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity 0.75%; Kemper Small Cap Growth 0.65%;
Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation Portfolio 0.23%; PIMCO Low Duration Bond 0.65%;
PIMCO Foreign Bond 0.90%; Templeton Developing Markets (Class 2 Shares) 1.25%;
Scudder VLIF International (A-Shares) 0.88%; Scudder VLIF Growth and Income
(A-Shares) 0.48%; Scudder VLIF Bond (A-Shares) 0.48%; and Scudder VLIF Money
Market 0.37%. The investment adviser of the Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation
Portfolio has voluntarily agreed to reduce or waive a portion of its management
fee. Without this reduction or waiver, the management fees for Janus Aspen
Capital Appreciation Portfolio would have been 1.14%. With regard to PIMCO Low
Duration Bond and PIMCO Foreign Bond, management fees include fixed advisory and
administrative fees. The administrative fee covers most of the expenses of the
portfolios. However, the portfolios are responsible for bearing certain expenses
associated with their operations that are not covered by the administrative fee.
While it is expected that these expenses generally will not have a material
effect on the portfolio expense ratios, they may have a material effect in
certain circumstances, such as when the average net assets of a portfolio are
lower than anticipated.
The other expenses for each Portfolio for the year ending December 31, 1997
as a percentage of average net assets were as follows: Kemper High Yield 0.05%;
Kemper Government Securities 0.09%; Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity 0.12%;
Kemper Small Cap Growth 0.06%; Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation Portfolio 1.03%;
PIMCO Low Duration Bond 0.00%; PIMCO Foreign Bond 0.00%; Templeton Developing
Markets (Class 2 Shares) 0.33%; Scudder VLIF International (A-Shares) 0.12%;
Scudder VLIF Growth and Income (A-Shares) 0.10%; Scudder VLIF Bond (A-Shares)
0.14%; and Scudder VLIF Money Market 0.09%. In addition, the Templeton
Developing Markets Fund also has a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% as described in the Fund's
prospectus. Except for 12b-1 fees, all expenses of the Templeton Developing
Markets Fund are estimated for 1998 based on the historical expenses of the
portfolio's Class 1 Shares for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The
investment adviser of the Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation Portfolio has
voluntarily agreed to reduce or waive other expenses. Without this reduction or
waiver, the other expenses for Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation Portfolio would
have been 1.05% and total operating expenses would have been 2.19%. For
additional information about the fees and expenses of the Funds, see "The
Funds", page 5, and the prospectuses for the Funds.
KILICO may receive compensation from the investment advisers of the Funds
for services related to the Funds. Such compensation will be consistent with the
services rendered or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement. For more
information concerning the investment advisory fees and other charges against
the portfolios of the Funds, see the prospectuses for the Funds and the
Statements of Additional Information available upon request.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. A charge of $50 is imposed to enter into a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP.) In addition, a $25 charge will be imposed each
time a change is made to the SWP. These charges are to reimburse KILICO for
expenses related to the administration of the SWP. (See "Systematic Withdrawal
Plan.")
REDUCTION OF CHARGES. KILICO may reduce certain charges and the minimum
initial premium in special circumstances that result in lower sales,
administrative, or mortality expenses. For example, special circumstances may
exist in connection with group or sponsored arrangements, sales to KILICO
policyowners, or sales to employees or clients of members of the Kemper group of
companies. The amounts of any reductions will reflect the reduced sales effort
and administrative costs resulting from, or the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, the special circumstances. Reductions will not be
unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners and
owners of all other policies funded by the Separate Account.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
The Owner, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election by the
Owner is in effect, may elect to have all of the Death Benefit or Surrender
Value of this Policy paid in a lump sum or have the amount applied to one of the
Settlement Options. Payments under these options will not be affected by the
investment experience of the Separate Account after proceeds are applied under a
Settlement Option. Payment will be made as elected by the payee on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The option selected must result in a
payment that is at least equal to KILICO's required minimum, according to rules
in effect at the time the option is chosen. If at any time the payments are less
than the minimum payment, KILICO may increase the period between payments to
quarterly, semi-annual or annual so that the payment is at least equal to our
minimum payment or to make the payment in one lump sum.
18
<PAGE> 21
The Cash Value on the day immediately preceding the date on which the first
benefit payment is due will first be reduced by any applicable Surrender Charge
and Debt. The Surrender Value will be used to determine the benefit payment. The
payment will be based on the Settlement Option elected in accordance with the
appropriate settlement option table.
OPTION 1--INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD. KILICO will pay income for the
period and payment mode elected but not less than 5 years nor more than 30
years.
OPTION 2--LIFE INCOME. KILICO will pay a monthly income to the payee during
the payee's lifetime. If this Option is elected, annuity payments terminate
automatically and immediately on the death of the payee without regard to the
number or total amount of payments made. Thus, it is possible for an individual
to receive only one payment if death occurred prior to the date the second
payment was due.
OPTION 3--LIFE INCOME WITH INSTALLMENTS GUARANTEED. KILICO will pay a
monthly income for the guaranteed period elected and thereafter for the
remaining lifetime of the payee. The period elected may only be 5, 10, 15 or 20
years.
OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. KILICO will pay the full monthly
income while both payees are living. Upon the death of either payee, the income
will continue during the lifetime of the surviving payee. The surviving payee's
income shall be the percentage of such full amount chosen at the time of
election of this option. The percentages available are 50%, 66 2/3%, 75% and
100%. Payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death of the
surviving payee without regard to the number or total amount of payments
received.
KILICO's consent is necessary for any other payment methods.
The guaranteed monthly payments are based on an interest rate of 2.50% per
year and, where mortality is involved, the "1983 Table a" individual mortality
table developed by the Society of Actuaries, with a 5 year setback.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
GENERAL. Payment of any amount due upon: (a) Policy termination at the
Maturity Date, (b) surrender of the Policy, (c) payment of any Policy loan, or
(d) death of the Insured, may be postponed whenever:
(1) The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend
and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the Commission;
(2) The Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
Owners; or
(3) An emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result
of which disposal of securities of the Funds is not reasonably practicable
or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net
assets of the Separate Account.
Transfers may also be postponed under these circumstances.
PAYMENT NOT HONORED BY BANK. The portion of any payment due under the
Policy which is derived from any amount paid to KILICO by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as KILICO determines that such instrument has been
honored by the bank upon which it was drawn.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, any endorsements, and the application constitute the entire
contract between KILICO and the Owner. All statements made by the Insured or
contained in the application will, in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation,
be deemed representations and not warranties.
Only the President, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary of KILICO is
authorized to change or waive the terms of a Policy. Any change or waiver must
be in writing and signed by one of those persons.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is misstated, the Death Benefit will be
changed to what the cost of insurance on the previous Monthly Processing Date
would have purchased based on the correct sex and age.
INCONTESTABILITY
KILICO may contest the validity of a Policy if any material
misrepresentations are made in the application. However, a Policy will be
incontestable after it has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for
two years from the Issue Date. A new two year contestability period will apply
to increases in insurance, and to reinstatements beginning with the effective
date of the increase or reinstatement.
19
<PAGE> 22
SUICIDE
Suicide by the Insured, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date of the Policy is a risk not assumed under the Policy. KILICO's
liability for such suicide is limited to the premiums paid less any withdrawals
and Debt. When the laws of the state in which a Policy is delivered require less
than a two year period, the period or amount paid will be as stated in such
laws.
ASSIGNMENT
No assignment of a Policy is binding on KILICO until it is received by
KILICO at its Home Office. KILICO assumes no responsibility for the validity of
the assignment. Any claim under an assignment is subject to proof of the extent
of the interest of the assignee. If this Policy is assigned, the rights of the
Owner and Beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee of record.
NONPARTICIPATING
This Policy will not pay dividends. It will not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
The Owner may, at any time during the life of the Insured and while the
Policy is in force, designate a new Owner.
Primary and secondary Beneficiaries may be designated by the Owner in the
application. If changed, the primary or secondary Beneficiary is as shown in the
latest change filed with KILICO. If no Beneficiary survives the Insured, the
Insured's estate will be the Beneficiary. The interest of any Beneficiary may be
subject to that of an assignee.
Any change of Owner or Beneficiary must be made in writing in a form
acceptable to KILICO. The change will take effect as of the date the request is
signed. KILICO will not be liable for any payment made or other action taken
before the notice has been received at KILICO's Home Office.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
KILICO will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account. KILICO
will send Owners, at their last known address of record, an annual report
stating the Death Benefit, the Accumulation Unit Value, the Cash Value and
Surrender Value under the Policy, and indicating any additional premium
payments, partial withdrawals, transfers, Policy loans and repayments and
charges made during the Policy Year. In addition, Owners will be sent
confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions. Owners will also be
sent annual and semi-annual reports for the Fund to the extent required by the
1940 Act.
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
Any written notice or request to be sent to KILICO should be sent to its
Home Office, 1 Kemper Drive, Long Grove, Illinois 60049. The notice or request
should include the Policy number and the Insured's full name. Any notice sent by
KILICO to an Owner will be sent to the address shown in the application unless
an address change has been filed with KILICO.
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
Subject to certain requirements, a Policy Owner may elect to add one or
more of the following optional insurance benefits to the Policy by a Rider at
the time of application for a Policy. These optional benefits are: waiver of all
monthly deductions against the Policy in the event of total disability of the
Insured; term insurance on the Insured's dependent children; acceleration of the
payment of a portion of the death benefit when the Insured is terminally ill;
and term insurance on an additional insured specified by the Owner. The cost of
any additional insurance benefits will be deducted as part of the monthly
deductions. Certain restrictions may apply. Restrictions and provisions related
to these benefits are more fully described in the applicable rider. Samples of
the provisions are available from KILICO upon written request.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
A Policy Owner may predesignate a portion of the Cash Value under a Policy
attributable to the Fixed Account, the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount or
the Kemper Government Securities Subaccount (the designated account is referred
to as the "DCA Account") to be automatically transferred on a monthly basis to
one or more of the other Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. A Policy Owner may
enroll in this program at the time the Policy is issued or anytime thereafter by
properly completing the Dollar Cost Averaging enrollment form
20
<PAGE> 23
and returning it to KILICO at its home office at least five (5) business days
prior to the 10th day of a month which is the date that all Dollar Cost
Averaging transfers will be made ("Transfer Date").
Transfers will commence on the first Transfer Date following the Trade
Date. Transfers will be made in the amounts designated by the Policy Owner and
must be at least $500 per Subaccount or General Account. The total Cash Value in
the DCA Account at the time Dollar Cost Averaging is elected must be at least
equal to the greater of $10,000 or the amount designated to be transferred on
each Transfer Date multiplied by the duration selected. Dollar Cost Averaging
will cease automatically if the Cash Value does not equal or exceed the amount
designated to be transferred on each Transfer Date and the remaining amount will
be transferred.
Dollar Cost Averaging will terminate when (i) the number of designated
monthly transfers has been completed, (ii) the Cash Value attributable to the
DCA Account is insufficient to complete the next transfer, (iii) the Policy
Owner requests termination in writing and such writing is received by KILICO at
its home office at least five business days prior to the next Transfer Date in
order to cancel the transfer scheduled to take effect on such date, or (iv) the
Policy is surrendered. KILICO reserves the right to amend Dollar Cost Averaging
on thirty days notice or terminate it at any time.
A Policy Owner may initiate, reinstate or change Dollar Cost Averaging or
change existing Dollar Cost Averaging terms by properly completing the new
enrollment form and returning it to KILICO at its home office at least five (5)
business days, (ten (10) business days for Fixed Account transfers), prior to
the next Transfer Date such transfer is to be made.
When utilizing Dollar Cost Averaging, a Policy Owner must be invested in
the DCA Account and may be invested in the Fixed Account and a maximum of eight
other Subaccounts at any given time.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
KILICO administers a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") which allows
certain Policy Owners to preauthorize periodic withdrawals after the first
Policy Year. Policy Owners entering into a SWP agreement instruct KILICO to
withdraw selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or from a maximum of two
Subaccounts on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Currently the
SWP is available to Policy Owners who request a minimum $500 periodic payment.
The amounts distributed under the SWP are partial withdrawals and will be
subject to surrender charges, if applicable. (See "Policy Benefits and
Rights--Surrender Privileges," page 14.) The $25 withdrawal charge does not
apply. However, a charge of $50 will be imposed at the time a SWP is
established. In addition, a $25 charge will be imposed each time a change is
made to the SWP. These charges are designed to reimburse KILICO for expenses
related to the administration of the SWP. Withdrawals taken under the SWP may be
subject to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties. (See "Federal Tax
Matters.") Policy Owners interested in the SWP may obtain an application and
full information concerning this program and its restrictions from their
representative or KILICO's home office. The right is reserved to amend the SWP
on thirty days' notice. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Contract
Owner or KILICO.
DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
The Policy is sold by licensed insurance representatives who represent
KILICO and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers which are
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Policy is distributed
through the principal underwriter, Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS"),
an affiliate of KILICO. IBS is engaged in the sale and distribution of other
variable life policies and annuities.
The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives will be
approximately 63% of premiums up to the commission target premium and 2.5% of
excess premium in the first year and 2.5% of total premium in renewal years two
through ten. Beginning in the second policy year, a service fee on assets which
have been maintained and serviced may also be paid. In addition, certain
overrides and production and managerial bonuses may be paid. These additional
amounts may constitute a substantial portion of total commissions and fees paid.
Firms to which service fees and commissions may be paid include affiliated
broker-dealers. In addition to the commissions described above, KILICO may, from
time to time, pay or allow additional promotional incentives, in the form of
cash or other compensation, to licensed broker-dealers that sell the Policies.
In some instances, such other incentives may be offered only to certain licensed
broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell during specified time periods
certain minimum amounts of the Policy or other contracts issued by KILICO.

FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Policy
is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended
as tax advice. The federal income tax treatment of the Policy is unclear in
certain circumstances, and a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted
with regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This
discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), Treasury Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the
date of this Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by
Congress, the Treasury Department, and judicial decisions.
This discussion does not address state or local tax consequences associated
with the purchase of the Policy. In addition, KILICO MAKES NO GUARANTEE
REGARDING ANY TAX TREATMENT -- FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL -- OF ANY POLICY OR OF
ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING A POLICY.
KILICO'S TAX STATUS
Under current interpretations of federal income tax law, KILICO is taxed as
a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate Account are treated
as part of the total operations of KILICO. The operations of the Separate
Account do not materially affect KILICO's Federal income tax liability because
KILICO is allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of the
Separate Account is applied to increase Policy Cash Values. KILICO may incur
state and local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these
taxes are not significant. Accordingly, KILICO does not charge or credit the
Separate Account for Federal, state or local taxes. However, KILICO's federal
income taxes are increased in respect of the Policies because of the federal tax
law's treatment of deferred acquisition costs. Accordingly, a charge equal to 1%
of each premium payment in all Policy Years is made to compensate KILICO for its
higher corporate income tax liability.
If there is a material change in applicable federal, state or local law,
charges or credits may be made to the Separate Account for federal, state or
local taxes, or reserves for such taxes, if any, attributable to the Separate
Account. Such charges or credits will be determined independent of the taxes
actually paid by KILICO.
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. Section 7702 of the Code establishes a statutory
definition of life insurance for federal tax purposes. KILICO believes that the
Policy will meet the current statutory definition of life insurance, which
places limitations on the amount of premiums that may be paid and the Cash
Values that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. As a result, the Death
Benefit payable under the Policy will generally be excludable from the
Beneficiary's gross income, and interest and other income credited under the
Policy will not be taxable unless certain withdrawals are made (or are deemed to
be made) from the Policy prior to the Insured's death, as discussed below. This
tax treatment will only apply, however, if (1) the investments of the Separate
Account are "adequately diversified" in accordance with Treasury Department
regulations, and (2) KILICO, rather than the Policy Owner, is considered the
owner of the assets of the Separate Account for federal income tax purposes.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code and Treasury Department regulations
prescribe the manner in which the investments of a segregated asset account,
such as the Separate Account, are to be "adequately diversified." If the
Separate Account fails to comply with these diversification standards, the
Policy will not be treated as a life insurance contract for federal income tax
purposes and the Owner would generally be taxable currently on the income on the
contract (as defined in the tax law). KILICO expects that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the diversification requirements prescribed
by the Code and Treasury Department regulations.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes,
of the assets of a segregated asset account, such as the Separate Account, used
to support their contracts. In those circumstances, income and gains from the
segregated asset account would be includible in the contract owners' gross
income. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has stated in published rulings
that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a
segregated asset account if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those
assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. In
addition, the Treasury Department announced, in connection with the issuance of
regulations concerning investment diversification, that those regulations "do
not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of
the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor, rather
than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the
account." This announcement also stated that guidance would be issued by way of
regulations or rulings on the "extent to
22
<PAGE> 25
which policyholders may direct their investments to particular sub-accounts [of
a segregated asset account] without being treated as owners of the underlying
assets." As of the date of this Prospectus, no such guidance has been issued.
The ownership rights under the Policy are similar to, but different in
certain respects from, those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that contract owners were not owners of the assets of a segregated
asset account. For example, the Owner of this Policy has the choice of more
investment options to which to allocate premium payments and Separate Account
values, and may be able to transfer among investment options more frequently,
than in such rulings. These differences could result in the Policy Owner being
treated as the owner of a portion of the assets of the Separate Account and thus
subject to current taxation on the income and gains from those assets. In
addition, KILICO does not know what standards will be set forth in the
regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue. KILICO therefore reserves the right to modify the Policy as necessary to
attempt to prevent Policy Owners from being considered the owners of the assets
of the Separate Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would
be successful.
The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as
a life insurance contract for federal tax purposes.
TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
amount of the Death Benefit payable under a Policy by reason of the death of the
Insured is excludable from gross income under Section 101 of the Code. Certain
transfers of the Policy for valuable consideration, however, may result in a
portion of the Death Benefit being taxable. If the Death Benefit is not received
in a lump sum and is, instead, applied under a Settlement Option, generally
payments will be prorated between amounts attributable to the Death Benefit,
which will be excludable from the Beneficiary's income, and amounts attributable
to interest (accruing after the Insured's death), which will be includible in
the Beneficiary's income.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Under existing provisions of the
Code, except as described below, any increase in an Owner's Cash Value is
generally not taxable to the Owner unless amounts are received (or are deemed to
be received) from the Policy prior to the Insured's death. If there is a
surrender of the Policy, an amount equal to the excess of the Cash Value over
the "investment in the contract" will be includible in the Owner's income. The
"investment in the contract" generally is the aggregate premium payments less
the aggregate amount received under the Policy previously to the extent such
amounts received were excludable from gross income. Whether withdrawals (or
other amounts deemed to be distributed) from the Policy constitute income to the
Owner depends, in part, upon whether the Policy is considered a "modified
endowment contract" ("MEC") for federal income tax purposes.
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC
(described below), the amount of any withdrawal from the Policy generally will
be treated first as non-taxable recovery of premiums paid and then as income
from the Policy. Thus, a withdrawal from a Policy that is not a MEC generally
will not be includible in income except to the extent the withdrawal exceeds the
investment in the contract immediately before the withdrawal.
CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED BY THE TAX LAW IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY
YEARS. As indicated above, section 7702 places limitations on the amount of
premiums that may be paid and the Cash Values that can accumulate relative to
the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required under section 7702 in
connection with a reduction in benefits during the first 15 years after the
Policy is issued (or if withdrawals are made in anticipation of a reduction in
benefits, within the meaning of the tax law, during this period), some or all of
such amounts may be includible in income notwithstanding the general rule
described in the preceding paragraph. A reduction in benefits may result upon a
decrease in the Specified Amount, a change from an Option B Death Benefit to an
Option A Death Benefit, if withdrawals are made, and in certain other instances.
TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS. If a Policy is not classified as a MEC, a loan
under the Policy generally will be treated as indebtedness of the Owner. As a
result, no part of any loan under a Policy will constitute income to the Owner
so long as the Policy remains in force. However, in those situations where the
interest rate credited to the Loan Account equals the interest rate charged for
the loan, it is possible that some or all of the loan proceeds may be includible
in income. If a Policy lapses when a loan is outstanding, the amount of the loan
outstanding will be treated as the proceeds of a surrender for purposes of
determining whether any amounts are includible in the Owner's income.
Generally, interest paid on any loans under this Policy will not be tax
deductible. The nondeductibility of interest includes interest paid or accrued
on indebtedness with respect to one or more life insurance policies
23
<PAGE> 26
owned by a taxpayer covering any individual who is or has been an officer or
employee of, or financially interested in, any trade or business carried on by
the taxpayer. A limited exception to this rule exists for certain interest paid
in connection with certain "key person" insurance. In the case of interest paid
in connection with a loan with respect to a Policy covering the life of any key
person, interest is deductible only to the extent that the aggregate amount of
loans under one or more life insurance policies does not exceed $50,000.
Further, even as to such loans up to $50,000, interest would not be deductible
if the Policy were deemed for federal tax purposes to be a single premium life
insurance policy or, in certain circumstances, if the loans were treated as
"systematic borrowing" within the meaning of the tax law. A "key person" is an
individual who is either an officer or a twenty percent owner of the taxpayer.
The maximum number of individuals who can be treated as key persons may not
exceed the greater of (1) 5 individuals or (2) the lesser of 5 percent of the
total number of officers and employees of the taxpayer or 20 individuals. Owners
should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest incurred in
connection with loans under this Policy.
In addition, in the case of Policies issued to a non-natural taxpayer, or
held for the benefit of such an entity, a portion of the taxpayer's otherwise
deductible interest expenses may not be deductible as a result of ownership of a
policy even if no loans are taken under the policy. An exception to the latter
rule is provided for certain life Policies which cover the life of an individual
who is a 20-percent owner, or an officer, director, or employee of, a trade or
business. However, this exception is not applicable to Survivorship Policies,
other than where the Insureds are a 20-percent owner and his or her spouse.
Entities that are considering purchasing the Policy, or entities that will be
beneficiaries under a policy, should consult a tax advisor.
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. In general, a Policy will be
considered a MEC for federal income tax purposes if (1) the Policy is received
in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the Policy is
entered into after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid into the Policy more
rapidly than the rate defined by a "7-Pay Test." This test generally provides
that a Policy will fail this test (and thus be considered a MEC) if the
accumulated amount paid under the Policy at any time during the 1st 7 Policy
Years exceeds the cumulative sum of the net level premiums which would have been
paid to that time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the
payment of 7 level annual premiums. A material change of the Policy (as defined
in the tax law) will generally result in a reapplication of the 7-Pay Test. In
addition, any reduction in benefits during the 7-Pay period will affect the
application of this test.
KILICO will monitor the Policies and will attempt to notify Owners on a
timely basis if a Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. The Policy Owner may
then request that KILICO take whatever steps are available to avoid treating the
Policy as a MEC, if that is desired.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals from the Policy will be treated first as
withdrawals of income and then as a recovery of premiums paid. Thus, withdrawals
will be includible in income to the extent the Cash Value exceeds the investment
in the contract. The amount of any Policy loan will be treated as a withdrawal
for tax purposes. In addition, the discussion of interest on loans and of lapses
while loans are outstanding under the caption "Policies Which Are Not MECs" also
applies to Policies which are MECs.
If the Owner assigns or pledges any portion of the Cash Value (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), such portion will be treated as a withdrawal for
tax purposes. The Owner's investment in the contract is increased by the amount
includible in income with respect to any assignment, pledge, or loan, though it
is not affected by any other aspect of the assignment, pledge, or loan
(including its release or repayment). Before assigning, pledging, or requesting
a loan under a Policy treated as a MEC, an Owner should consult a qualified tax
advisor.
PENALTY TAX. Generally, proceeds of a surrender or a withdrawal (or the
amount of any deemed withdrawal) from a MEC are subject to a penalty tax equal
to 10% of the portion of the proceeds that is includible in income, unless the
surrender or withdrawal is made (1) after the Owner attains age 59 1/2, (2)
because the Owner has become disabled (as defined in the tax law), or (3) as
substantially equal periodic payments over the life or life expectancy of the
Owner (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the Owner and his or her
beneficiary, as defined in the tax law).
AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from KILICO or any of is
affiliates within the same calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one
contract for purpose of determining the tax on withdrawals (including deemed
withdrawals). The effects of such aggregation are not clear; however, it could
affect the amount of a withdrawal (or a deemed withdrawal) that is taxable and
the amount which might be subject to the 10% penalty tax described above.
24
<PAGE> 27
ACTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TAX LAW. KILICO reserves the right to
refund premiums which exceed those permitted by the federal tax definition of
life insurance. KILICO also reserves the right to increase the Death Benefit
(which may result in larger charges under a Policy) or to take any other action
deemed necessary to ensure the compliance of the Policy with the federal tax
definition of life insurance.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Owner, exchanging the Policy, changing
from one Death Benefit option to another, and other changes under the Policy may
have tax consequences (other than those discussed herein) depending on the
circumstances of such change or withdrawal. Federal estate and state and local
estate, inheritance and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy
proceeds depend on the circumstances of each Policy Owner or Beneficiary.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
KILICO will withhold and remit to the Federal government a part of the
taxable portion of withdrawals made under a Policy unless the Owner notifies
KILICO in writing at or before the time of the withdrawal that he or she elects
not to have any amounts withheld. Regardless of whether the Owner requests that
no taxes be withheld or whether KILICO withholds a sufficient amount of taxes,
the Owner will be responsible for the payment of any taxes and early
distribution penalties that may be due on the amounts received. The Owner may
also be required to pay penalties under the estimated tax rules, if the Owner's
withholding and estimated tax payments are insufficient to satisfy the Owner's
total tax liability.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court held in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and
fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.
The Policy described in this Prospectus contains cost of insurance rates that
distinguish between men and women. Accordingly, employers and employee
organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of
Federal, state and local laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the
Equal Pay Act, and NORRIS and subsequent cases on any employment-related
insurance or fringe benefit program before purchasing this Policy.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
KILICO holds the assets of the Separate Account. The assets are kept
segregated and held separate and apart from the general funds of KILICO. KILICO
maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of the shares of each
portfolio of the Funds by each of the Subaccounts.
VOTING INTERESTS
To the extent required by law, KILICO will vote a Fund's shares held in the
Separate Account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the Fund in
accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in
the corresponding Subaccounts of the Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act
or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation
thereof should change, and as a result KILICO determines that it is permitted to
vote a Fund's shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.
Owners of all Policies participating in each Subaccount shall have voting
interests with respect to that Subaccount, based upon each Owner's proportionate
interest in that Subaccount as measured by units.
Each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount will receive proxy
material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio of
the Funds.
KILICO will vote shares of the Funds for which it has not received timely
instructions in proportion to the voting instructions that KILICO has received
with respect to all variable policies participating in a portfolio. KILICO will
also vote any Fund shares attributed to amounts it has accumulated in the
Subaccounts in the same proportions that Owners vote.
KILICO may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities,
disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be
voted so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective
of the Fund or of one or more of its portfolios or to approve or disapprove an
investment advisory contract for a portfolio of the Fund. In addition, KILICO
itself may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an
Owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a
Fund if KILICO reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change would
be disapproved only if the change is
25
<PAGE> 28
contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or if
KILICO determines that the change would have an adverse effect on its General
Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may result in
overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event KILICO does disregard
voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action
will be included in the next annual report to Owners.
STATE REGULATION OF KILICO
KILICO, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Illinois, is subject to regulation by the Illinois Department of Insurance. An
annual statement is filed with the Director of Insurance on or before March 1st
of each year covering the operations and reporting on the financial condition of
KILICO as of December 31st of the preceding year. Periodically, the Director of
Insurance examines the liabilities and reserves of KILICO and the Separate
Account and certifies to their adequacy, and a full examination of KILICO's
operations is conducted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
at least once every three years.
In addition, KILICO is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of
other states within which it is licensed to operate. Generally, the insurance
department of any other state applies the laws of the state of domicile in
determining permissible investments.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF KILICO
The directors and principal officers of KILICO are listed below together
with their current positions and their other business experience during the past

LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and KILICO's right to issue the Policy under Illinois
Insurance Law, have been passed upon by Frank J. Julian, Associate General
Counsel of KILICO. Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson, Washington,
D.C., has advised KILICO on certain legal matters concerning Federal securities
laws applicable to the issue and sale of Policies.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party or
to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. KILICO is not a party
in any litigation that is of material importance in relation to its total assets
or that relates to the Separate Account.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many existing computer programs were originally designed without
considering the impact of the year 2000 and currently use only two digits to
identify the year in the date field. This issue affects nearly all companies and
organizations and could cause computer applications and systems to fail or
create erroneous results to occur for any transaction with a date of January 1,
2000, or later.
Many companies must undertake major projects to address the year 2000 issue
and each company's costs and uncertainties will depend on a number of factors,
including its software and hardware, and the nature of the industry. Companies
must also coordinate with other entities with which they electronically
interact, including suppliers, customers, creditors and other financial services
institutions.
If a company does not successfully address its year 2000 issues it could
face material adverse consequences in the form of lawsuits against the company,
lost business, erroneous results and substantial operating problems after
January 1, 2000.
KILICO has taken substantial steps over the last several years to ensure
that its systems will be compliant for the year 2000. Such steps have included
the replacement of older systems with new systems which are already compliant.
In 1996, KILICO replaced its investment accounting system and in 1997 KILICO
replaced its general ledger and accounts payable system. KILICO has also ensured
that new systems developed to support new product introductions in 1996 and 1997
are already year 2000 compliant. Data processing expenses related solely to
bringing KILICO's systems in compliance with the year 2000 amounted to $88
thousand in 1997 and KILICO anticipates that it will cost an additional $895
thousand to bring all remaining systems into compliance. KILICO has also
undertaken steps which require that all other entities with which KILICO
electronically interacts, including suppliers and other financial services
institutions, attest in writing to KILICO that their systems are year 2000
compliant.
EXPERTS
The consolidated balance sheet of KILICO as of December 31, 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1997 have been included herein and in the
registration statement in reliance upon the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers,
L.L.P., independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein,
and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The
consolidated balance sheet of KILICO as of December 31, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for
the period from January 4, 1996 to December 31, 1996 and for the year ended
December 31, 1995 have been included herein and in the registration statement in
reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public
accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing. The report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP covering
KILICO's financial statements referred to above
28
<PAGE> 31
contains an explanatory paragraph that states as a result of the acquisition of
its parent, Kemper Corporation, the consolidated financial information for the
period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that
for the period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.
The statements of assets and liabilities and policy owners' equity of the
Separate Account as of December 31, 1997 and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in policy
owners' equity for the year then ended has been included herein in reliance upon
the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P., independent certified public
accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.
The statement of changes in policy owners' equity of the Separate Account
for the year ended December 31, 1996 has been included herein in reliance upon
the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants,
appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.
Actuarial matters included in this prospectus have been examined by Steven
D. Powell, FSA as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
A registration statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the
Policies. For further information concerning the Separate Account, KILICO and
the Policy, reference is made to the Registration Statement as amended with
exhibits. Copies of the Registration Statement are available from the Commission
upon payment of a fee.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Separate Account relate to life insurance
policies other than those offered by this Prospectus. As of the date of this
Prospectus, no assets attributable to the Policies are reflected, as the
Policies were not offered prior to such date. In addition, the financial
statements for the Separate Account reflect Subaccounts that are not available
under the Policies. The financial statements of KILICO that are included should
be considered only as bearing upon KILICO's ability to meet its contractual
obligations under the Policy. In addition to audited financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 1997, KILICO has provided unaudited financial
statements for the period ended June 30, 1998. KILICO's financial statements do
not bear on the investment experience of the assets held in the Separate
Account.
CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS
On September 12, 1997, Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO")
appointed the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P. (on July 1,
1998, Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. merged with Price Waterhouse LLP to form
PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P.) as independent accountants for the year ended
December 31, 1997 to replace KPMG Peat Marwick LLP effective with such
appointment. KILICO's Board of Directors approved the selection of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P. as the new independent accountants. Management
had not consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P. on any accounting,
auditing or reporting matter, prior to that time.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, there have
been no disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure or any reportable events. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP's report on the
financial statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.
There were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P. on
accounting or financial disclosures for the year ended December 31, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND
POLICY OWNERS OF KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and
policy owners' equity of the Kemper Money Market Subaccount, Kemper Total Return
Subaccount, Kemper High Yield Subaccount, Kemper Growth Subaccount, Kemper
Government Securities Subaccount, Kemper International Subaccount and Kemper
SmallCap Growth Subaccount (investment options within the Investors Fund
Series), Founders Capital Appreciation Subaccount, Neuberger & Berman Mid-Cap
Growth Subaccount, Jancap Growth Subaccount, Lord Abbett Growth & Income
Subaccount, T. Rowe Price International Equity Subaccount, T. Rowe Price Asset
Allocation Subaccount, PIMCO Limited Maturity Bond Subaccount, PIMCO Total
Return Subaccount and INVESCO Equity Income Subaccount (investment options
within the American Skandia Trust), of KILICO Variable Separate Account as of
December 31, 1997 and the related statements of operations and the statements of
changes in policy owners' equity for the year 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 audit. The statement of changes in policy owners' equity for the year ended
December 31, 1996 was audited by other auditors, whose report, dated March 26,
1997, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement.
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. Our procedures included
confirmation of investments owned at December 31, 1997 by correspondence with
transfer agents. 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.
In our opinion, the December 31, 1997 financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
subaccounts of KILICO Variable Separate Account at December 31, 1997 and the
results of their operations and changes in their policy owners' equity for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the changes in policy owners' equity of the
subaccounts of KILICO Variable Separate Account for the year ended December 31,
1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation. Kemper Corporation
was acquired by an investor group led by Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich") on
January 4, 1996. Effective February 27, 1998, KILICO and Kemper Corporation
became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Zurich.
The Separate Account is used to fund policies ("Policy") for the Select
variable universal life policies and the Power V flexible premium variable
universal life policies. The Separate Account is divided into sixteen
subaccounts. The Select policies have five subaccounts which are available to
Policy Owners and each subaccount invests exclusively in the shares of a
corresponding portfolio of the Investors Fund Series (the "Fund"), an open-end
diversified management investment company. The Power V policies have sixteen
subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners and each subaccount invests
exclusively in the shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Investors Fund
Series and the American Skandia Trust, also an open-end diversified management
investment company.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
well as the disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial
statements. As a result, actual results reported as income and expenses could
differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION
The investments are stated at current value which is based on the closing
bid price, net asset value, at December 31, 1997.
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 a first in,
first out ("FIFO") cost basis.
ACCOUNT UNIT TRANSACTIONS
Proceeds from a Policy are automatically allocated to the Kemper 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.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUATION
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.

<PAGE> 43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
In early 1998, the Clinton Administration's Fiscal Year 1999 Budget was
released and contained certain proposals to change the taxation of non-qualified
fixed and variable annuities as well as variable universal life contracts. It is
currently unknown whether such proposals will be adopted, amended or omitted in
the final 1999 budget approved by Congress.

issuers.
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
KILICO provides a death benefit payment upon the death of the Policy Owner
under the terms of the death benefit option selected by the Policy Owner as
further described in the Policy. KILICO assesses a monthly charge to the
subaccounts for the cost of providing this insurance protection to the Policy
Owner. These cost of insurance charges vary with the issue age, sex and rate
class of the Policy Owner, and are allocated among the subaccounts in the
proportion of each subaccount to the Separate Account value. Cost of insurance
charges totaled approximately $121,300 and $396,200 for the Select and Power V
variable universal life products, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1997. Additionally, KILICO assesses a daily charge to the subaccounts for
mortality and expense risk assumed by KILICO at an annual rate of .90% of
assets.
A state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% is deducted from each premium
payment under the Power V policy prior to allocation of the net premium. This
charge is to reimburse KILICO for the payment of state premium taxes. KILICO
expects to pay an average state premium tax rate of approximately 2.5% but the
actual premium tax attributable to a Policy may be more or less. In addition, a
charge for Federal taxes equal to 1% of each premium payment will be deducted to
compensate KILICO for a higher corporate income tax liability resulting from
changes made to the Internal Revenue Code by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1990.
Policy loans are also provided for under the terms of the Policy. The
minimum amount of the loan is $500 and is limited to 90% of the Policy's
investment value, less applicable surrender charges. Interest is assessed
against the policy loan under the terms of the Policy. Policy loans are carried
in KILICO's general account.
Proceeds payable on the surrender of a Policy are reduced by the amount of
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDER'S
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Kemper
Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and
cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The
financial statements of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries
for the period from January 4, 1996 to December 31, 1996 (post-acquisition
basis) and for the year ended December 31, 1995 (pre-acquisition basis), were
audited by other auditors, whose unqualified report, dated March 21, 1997,
included an explanatory paragraph that described the acquisition of Kemper
Investors Life Insurance Company as discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDER
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Kemper
Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and
cash flows for the period from January 4, 1996 to December 31, 1996
(post-acquisition), and for the year ended December 31, 1995 (pre-acquisition).
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
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. 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 aforementioned post-acquisition consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
post-acquisition period, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the aforementioned pre-acquisition
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the pre-acquisition period,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 4, 1996, an investor group as described in Note 1, acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Kemper Corporation, the parent of Kemper Investors Life
Insurance Company, in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a
result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial information for the period
after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the
period before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the "Company")
issues fixed and variable annuity products, variable life, term life and
interest-sensitive life insurance products marketed primarily through a network
of financial institutions, securities brokerage firms, insurance agents and
financial planners. The Company is licensed in the District of Columbia and all
states except New York. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper
Corporation ("Kemper"). On January 4, 1996, an investor group comprised of
Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich"), Insurance Partners, L.P. ("IP") and
Insurance Partners Offshore (Bermuda), L.P. (together with IP, "Insurance
Partners") acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Kemper. As
a result of that change in control, Zurich and Insurance Partners owned 80
percent and 20 percent, respectively, of Kemper and therefore the Company. On
February 27, 1998, Zurich acquired Insurance Partner's remaining 20 percent
interest for cash. As a result of this transaction, Kemper and the Company
became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Zurich.
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company on a
consolidated basis. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1995
consolidated financial statements in order for them to conform to the 1997
presentation.
PURCHASE ACCOUNTING METHOD
The acquisition of the Company on January 4, 1996, was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company prior to January 4, 1996, were prepared on a historical cost basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying
financial statements and notes thereto prepared prior to January 4, 1996 have
been labeled "preacquisition". The accompanying consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of January 4, 1996 (the acquisition date) and as of
and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, have been prepared in
conformity with the purchase method of accounting. The Company has presented
January 4, 1996 (the acquisition date), as the opening purchase accounting
balance sheet where appropriate for comparative purposes throughout the
accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.
Under purchase accounting, the Company's assets and liabilities have been
marked to their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The difference
between the cost of acquiring the Company and the net fair values of the
Company's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date has been recorded as
goodwill. The allocated cost of acquiring the Company was $745.6 million and the
acquisition resulted in goodwill of $254.9 million as of January 4, 1996. The
Company began to amortize goodwill during 1996 on a straight-line basis over
twenty-five years. In December of 1997, the Company changed its amortization
period to twenty years in order to conform to Zurich's accounting practices and
policies. As a result of the change in amortization periods, the Company
recorded an increase in goodwill amortization expense of $5.1 million during
1997.
The Company reviews goodwill to determine if events or changes in
circumstances may have affected the recoverability of the outstanding goodwill
as of each reporting period. In the event that the Company determines that
goodwill is not recoverable, it would amortize such amounts as additional
goodwill expense in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31,
1997, the Company believes that no such adjustment is necessary.
Purchase accounting adjustments primarily affected the recorded historical
values of fixed maturities, mortgage loans, other invested assets, deferred
insurance acquisition costs, future policy benefits and deferred income taxes.
Deferred insurance acquisition costs, and the related amortization thereof,
for policies sold prior to January 4, 1996, have been replaced by the value of
business acquired.
The value of business acquired reflects the estimated fair value of the
Company's life insurance business in force and represents the portion of the
cost to acquire the Company that is allocated to the value of the right to
receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of
acquisition. Such value is the present value of the actuarially determined
projected cash flows for the acquired policies.
A 15 percent discount rate was used to determine such value and represents
the rate of return required by Zurich and Insurance Partners to invest in the
business being acquired. In selecting the rate of return used to value
50
<PAGE> 53
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
the policies purchased, the Company considered the magnitude of the risks
associated with each of the actuarial assumptions used in determining expected
future cash flows, the cost of capital available to fund the acquisition, the
perceived likelihood of changes in insurance regulations and tax laws, the
complexity of the Company's business, and the prices paid (i.e., discount rates
used in determining other life insurance company valuations) on similar blocks
of business sold in recent periods.
The value of the business acquired is amortized over the estimated contract
life of the business acquired in relation to the present value of estimated
gross profits using current assumptions based on an interest rate equal to the
liability or contract rate on the value of business acquired. The estimated
amortization and accretion of interest for the value of business acquired for
each of the years through December 31, 2002 are as follows:

</TABLE>
The projected ending balance of the value of business acquired will be
further adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses on fixed
maturities held as available for sale in the investment portfolio. Such
adjustments are not recorded in the Company's net income but rather are recorded
as a credit or charge to stockholder's equity, net of income tax. As of December
31, 1997 and 1996, this adjustment increased (decreased) the value of business
acquired by $(5.3) million and $20.9 million, respectively, and stockholder's
equity by approximately $(3.4) million and $13.6 million, respectively.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
well as the disclosure of contingent assets or liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. As a result, actual results reported as revenue and
expenses could differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial
statements. As further discussed in the accompanying notes to the consolidated
financial statements, significant estimates and assumptions affect deferred
insurance acquisition costs, the value of business acquired, provisions for real
estate-related losses and reserves, other-than-temporary declines in values for
fixed maturities, the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and the
calculation of fair value disclosures for certain financial instruments.
LIFE INSURANCE REVENUE AND EXPENSES
Revenue for annuities, variable life insurance and interest-sensitive life
insurance products consists of investment income, and policy charges such as
mortality, expense and surrender charges and expense loads for premium taxes on
certain contracts. Expenses consist of benefits and interest credited to
contracts, policy maintenance costs and amortization of deferred insurance
acquisition costs. Also reflected in fees and other income is a ceding
commission experience adjustment received in 1995 as a result of certain
reinsurance transactions entered into by the Company during 1992. (See note
captioned "Reinsurance".)
Premiums for term life policies are reported as earned when due. Profits
for such policies are recognized over the duration of the insurance policies by
matching benefits and expenses to premium income.

<PAGE> 54
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DEFERRED INSURANCE ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commission expense and
certain policy issuance and underwriting expenses, have been deferred to the
extent they are recoverable from estimated future gross profits on the related
contracts and policies. The deferred insurance acquisition costs for annuities,
separate account business and interest-sensitive life insurance products are
being amortized over the estimated contract life in relation to the present
value of estimated gross profits. Deferred insurance acquisition costs related
to such interest-sensitive products also reflect the estimated impact of
unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturities held as available for sale in the
investment portfolio, through a credit or charge to stockholder's equity, net of
income tax. The deferred insurance acquisition costs for term-life insurance
products are being amortized over the premium paying period of the policies.
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Liabilities for future policy benefits related to annuities and
interest-sensitive life contracts reflect net premiums received plus interest
credited during the contract accumulation period and the present value of future
payments for contracts that have annuitized. Current interest rates credited
during the contract accumulation period range from 3.0 percent to 7.3 percent.
Future minimum guaranteed interest rates vary from 3.0 percent to 4.0 percent.
For contracts that have annuitized, interest rates used in determining the
present value of future payments range principally from 3.0 percent to 12.0
percent.
Liabilities for future term life policy benefits have been computed
principally by a net level premium method. Anticipated rates of mortality are
based on the 1975-1980 Select and Ultimate Table modified by Company experience,
including withdrawals. Estimated future investment yields are a level 7 percent
for reinsurance assumed and for direct business, 8 percent for three years; 7
percent for year four; and 6 percent thereafter.
INVESTED ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME
Investments in fixed maturities and equity securities are carried at fair
value. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair
value. (See note captioned "Fair Value of Financial Instruments".)
The amortized cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, over the estimated life of the
security. Such amortization is included in net investment income. Amortization
of the discount or premium from mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is
recognized using a level effective yield method which considers the estimated
timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans and is adjusted to
reflect differences which arise between the prepayments originally anticipated
and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. To the extent
that the estimated lives of such securities change as a result of changes in
prepayment rates, the adjustment is also included in net investment income. The
Company does not accrue interest income on fixed maturities deemed to be
impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, or on mortgage loans and other real
estate loans where the likelihood of collection of interest is doubtful.
Mortgage loans are carried at their unpaid balance, net of unamortized
discount and any applicable reserves or write-downs. Other real estate-related
investments net of any applicable reserve and write-downs include notes
receivable from real estate ventures; investments in real estate ventures,
adjusted for the equity in the operating income or loss of such ventures; and
real estate owned carried at fair value.
Real estate reserves are established when declines in collateral values,
estimated in light of current economic conditions and calculated in conformity
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 114, ACCOUNTING BY
CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN, indicate a likelihood of loss. At year-end
1995, reflecting the Company's change in strategy with respect to its real
estate portfolio, and the disposition thereof, and on January 4, 1996,
reflecting the acquisition of the Company, real estate-related investments were
valued using an estimate of the investments observable market price, net of
estimated costs to sell.
Under purchase accounting, the market value of the Company's policy loans

and a leveraged lease, became the Company's new cost basis in such investments.
Investments in policy loans and other invested assets after January 4, 1996 are

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments, determined on the basis
of identifiable cost on the disposition of the respective investment,
recognition of other-than-temporary declines in value and changes in real
estate-related reserves and write-downs are included in revenue. Net unrealized
gains or losses on revaluation of investments are credited or charged to
stockholder's equity. Such unrealized gains are recorded net of deferred income
tax expense, while unrealized losses are not tax benefitted.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT BUSINESS
The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts represent segregated
funds administered and invested by the Company for purposes of funding variable
annuity and variable life insurance contracts for the exclusive benefit of
variable annuity and variable life insurance contract holders. The Company
receives administrative fees from the separate account and retains varying
amounts of withdrawal charges to cover expenses in the event of early
withdrawals by contract holders. The assets and liabilities of the separate
accounts are carried at fair value.
INCOME TAX
The operations of the Company prior to January 4, 1996 have been included
in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Kemper. Income taxes receivable
or payable have been determined on a separate return basis, and payments have
been received from or remitted to Kemper pursuant to a tax allocation
arrangement between Kemper and its subsidiaries, including the Company. The
Company generally had received a tax benefit for losses to the extent such
losses can be utilized in Kemper's consolidated Federal tax return. Subsequent
to January 4, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries file separate Federal
income tax returns.
Deferred taxes are provided on the temporary differences between the tax
and financial statement basis of assets and liabilities.
(2) CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The Company defines cash as cash in banks and money market accounts.
Federal income tax refunded by Kemper under the tax allocation arrangement for
the period from January 1, 1996 to January 4, 1996 and for the years ended
December 31, 1995 amounted to $108.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively.
The Company paid Federal income taxes of $29.0 million and $28.1 million
directly to the United States Treasury Department during 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

Upon default or indication of potential default by an issuer of fixed
maturity securities, the Company-owned issue(s) of such issuer would be placed
on nonaccrual status and, since declines in fair value would no longer be
considered by the Company to be temporary, would be analyzed for possible
write-down. Any such issue would be written down to its net realizable value
during the fiscal quarter in which the impairment was determined to have become
other than temporary. Thereafter, each issue on nonaccrual status is regularly
reviewed, and additional write-downs may be taken in light of later
developments.
The Company's computation of net realizable value involves judgments and
estimates, so such value should be used with care. Such value determination
considers such factors as the existence and value of any collateral security;
the capital structure of the issuer; the level of actual and expected market
interest rates; where the issue ranks in comparison with other debt of the
issuer; the economic and competitive environment of the issuer and its business;
the Company's view on the likelihood of success of any proposed issuer
restructuring plan; and the timing, type and amount of any restructured
securities that the Company anticipates it will receive.
The Company's $220.0 million real estate portfolio at December 31, 1997
consists of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real
estate-related investments. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, total impaired real
estate-related loans were as follows:

Company's deficit in equity investments considered in determining reserves and
write-downs amounted to $0 and $5.9 million, respectively. The Company had an
average balance of $45.2 million and $30.8 million in impaired loans for 1997
and 1996, respectively. Cash payments received on impaired loans are generally
applied to reduce the outstanding loan balance.
At December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, loans on nonaccrual status,
before reserves and write-downs, amounted to $47.4 million and $43.5 million,
respectively. The Company's nonaccrual loans are generally included in impaired
loans.
At December 31, 1997, securities carried at approximately $6.3 million were
on deposit with governmental agencies as required by law.
Proceeds from sales of investments in fixed maturities prior to maturity
were $633.9 million, $892.0 million and $297.6 million during 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Gross gains of $3.1 million, $9.9 million and $21.2 million
and gross losses of $13.7 million, $16.2 million and $11.9 million were realized
on sales and write-downs of fixed maturities in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
The carrying value and amortized cost of fixed maturity investments, by
contractual maturity at December 31, 1997, are shown below. Actual maturities
will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to
call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties and
because mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities provide for periodic
payments throughout their life.

(4) UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEES
At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company, along with other Kemper
subsidiaries, directly held partnership interests in a number of real estate
joint ventures. The Company's direct and indirect real estate joint venture
investments are accounted for utilizing the equity method, with the Company
recording its share of the operating results of the respective partnerships. The
Company, as an equity owner, has the ability to fund, and historically has
elected to fund, operating requirements of certain of the joint ventures.
Consolidation accounting methods are not utilized as the Company, in most
instances, does not own more than 50 percent in the aggregate, and in any event,
major decisions of the partnership must be made jointly by all partners.
As of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company's net equity
investment in unconsolidated investees amounted to $19.3 million and $11.7
million, respectively. The Company's share of net income related to such
unconsolidated investees amounted to $835 thousand and $223 thousand in 1997 and
1996, respectively, and a net loss of $453 thousand in 1995.
(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company generally strives to maintain a diversified invested asset
portfolio; however, certain concentrations of credit risk exist in mortgage and
asset-backed securities and real estate.
Approximately 35.1 percent of the Company's investment-grade fixed
maturities at December 31, 1997 were mortgage-backed securities, down from 36.4
percent at December 31, 1996, due to sales and paydowns during
56
<PAGE> 59
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
1997. These investments consist primarily of marketable mortgage pass-through
securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal
National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and
other investment-grade securities collateralized by mortgage pass-through
securities issued by these entities. The Company has not made any investments in
interest-only or other similarly volatile tranches of mortgage-backed
securities. The Company's mortgage-backed investments are generally AAA credit
quality.
Approximately 10.8 percent and 8.8 percent of the Company's
investment-grade fixed maturities at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
consisted of corporate asset-backed securities. The majority of the Company's
investments in asset-backed securities were backed by home equity loans (27.7%),
auto loans (22.3%), manufactured housing loans (17.2%), equipment loans (13.7%),
and commercial mortgage backed securities (10.7%).
The Company's real estate portfolio is distributed by geographic location
and property type, as shown in the following two tables:

Undeveloped land represented approximately 28.2 percent of the Company's
real estate portfolio at December 31, 1997. To maximize the value of certain
land and other projects, additional development has been proceeding or has been
planned. Such development of existing projects would continue to require
funding, either from the Company or third parties. In the present real estate
markets, third-party financing can require credit enhancing arrangements (e.g.,
standby financing arrangements and loan commitments) from the Company. The
values of development projects are dependent on a number of factors, including
Kemper's and the Company's plans with respect thereto, obtaining necessary
construction and zoning permits and market demand for the permitted use of the
property. The values of certain development projects have been written down as
of December 31, 1995, reflecting changes in plans in connection with the
Zurich-led acquisition of Kemper. There can be no assurance that such permits
will be obtained as planned or at all, nor that such expenditures will occur as
scheduled, nor that Kemper's and the Company's plans with respect to such
projects may not change substantially.
Approximately half of the Company's real estate mortgage loans are on
properties or projects where the Company, Kemper, or their affiliates have taken
ownership positions in joint ventures with a small number of partners. (See note
captioned "Unconsolidated Investees".)
At December 31, 1997, loans to and investments in joint ventures in which
Patrick M. Nesbitt or his affiliates ("Nesbitt"), a third-party real estate
developer, have ownership interests constituted approximately $88.2 million, or
40.1 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. The Nesbitt ventures
consist of nine hotel properties and two office buildings. At December 31, 1997,
the Company did not have any Nesbitt-related off-balance-sheet legal funding
commitments outstanding.
At December 31, 1997, loans to a master limited partnership (the "MLP")
between subsidiaries of Kemper and subsidiaries of Lumbermens Mutual Casualty
Company ("Lumbermens"), a former affiliate, constituted approximately $60.5
million, or 27.5 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. Kemper's
interest is
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
75 percent at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, MLP-related commitments
accounted for approximately $7.4 million of the Company's off-balance-sheet
legal commitments, which the Company expects to fund.
At December 31, 1997, the Company no longer had any outstanding loans or
investments in projects with the Prime Group, Inc. or its affiliates, as all
such investments have been sold or written-down to zero. However, the Company
continues to have Prime Group-related commitments, which accounted for $25.7
million of the Company's off-balance-sheet legal commitments at December 31,
1997. The Company does not expect to fund any of these commitments.

Included in the 1995 current tax benefit is the recognition of a net
operating loss carryover at December 31, 1995 which was utilized against taxable
income on Kemper's consolidated short-period Federal income tax return for the
January 1 through January 4, 1996 tax year. Beginning January 5, 1996, the
Company and its subsidiaries each filed a stand alone Federal income tax return.
Previously, the Company had filed a consolidated Federal income tax return with
Kemper. In 1996, the Company and Kemper settled all outstanding balances under
the tax allocation agreement.
The actual income tax expense (benefit) for 1997, 1996 and 1995 differed
from the "expected" tax expense (benefit) for those years as displayed below.
"Expected" tax expense (benefit) was computed by applying the U.S. Federal
corporate tax rate of 35 percent in 1997, 1996, and 1995 to income (loss) before
income tax expense (benefit).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are generally determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. The Company only records deferred tax
assets if future realization of the tax benefit is more likely than not, with a
valuation allowance recorded for the portion that is not likely to be realized.
The valuation allowance is subject to future adjustments based upon, among other
items, the Company's estimates of future operating earnings and capital gains.
The Company has established a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred
Federal tax asset related to real estate and other investments to the amount
that, based upon available evidence, is, in management's judgment, more likely
than not to be realized. Any reversals of the valuation allowance are contingent
upon the recognition of future capital gains in the Company's Federal income tax
return or a change in circumstances which causes the recognition of the benefits
to become more likely than not. The change in the valuation allowance is related
solely to the change in the net deferred Federal tax asset or liability from
unrealized gains or losses on investments.

The net deferred tax assets relate primarily to unearned revenue and the
tax on deferred insurance acquisition costs ("DAC Tax") associated with $2.7
billion of new 1997 sales from a non-registered individual and group variable
bank-owned life insurance contract ("BOLI"). As a result of proposed tax law
changes, as more fully discussed below, the level of DAC Tax experienced in 1997
is not anticipated to occur in future periods and it is expected that the
Company will return to its normalized earnings patterns in 1998. Management
believes that it is more likely, than not, that the results of future operations
will generate sufficient taxable income over the ten year amortization period of
the unearned revenue and DAC Tax to realize such deferred tax assets.
In early 1998, the Clinton Administration's Fiscal Year 1998 Budget
("Budget") was released and contained certain proposals to change the taxation
of non-qualified fixed and variable annuities and variable life insurance
contracts, including BOLI. It is currently unknown whether or not such proposals
will be accepted, amended or omitted in the final 1999 Budget approved by
Congress. If the current Budget proposals are accepted, certain of the Company's
non-qualified fixed and variable annuities and certain of its variable life
insurance products, including BOLI and the non-registered individual variable
universal life insurance contracts introduced during 1997, may no longer be tax
advantaged products and therefore no longer attractive to those customers who
purchase them because of their favorable tax attributes. Additionally, sales of
such products during 1998 may also be negatively impacted until the likelihood
of the current proposals being enacted into law has been determined.
The tax returns through the year 1986 have been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"). Changes proposed are not material to the Company's
financial position. The tax returns for the years 1987 through 1993 are
currently under examination by the IRS.
(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company received cash capital contributions of $45.0 million and $18.4
million during 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company paid cash dividends of
$29.3 million to Kemper during 1997.

The Company has loans to joint ventures, consisting primarily of mortgage
loans on real estate, in which the Company and/or one of its affiliates has an
ownership interest. At December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, joint venture
mortgage loans totaled $72.7 million and $111.0 million, respectively, and
during 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company earned interest income on these joint
venture loans of $7.5 million, $9.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively.
All of the Company's personnel are employees of Federal Kemper Life
Assurance Company ("FKLA"), an affiliated company. The Company is allocated
expenses for the utilization of FKLA employees and facilities, the investment
management services of Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. ("SKI"), formerly Zurich
Kemper Investments, Inc., an affiliated company, and the information systems of
Kemper Service Company ("KSvC"), an SKI subsidiary, based on the Company's share

and operation and support services. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, expenses
allocated to the Company from SKI and KSvC amounted to $114 thousand, $1.7
million and $4.4 million, respectively. The Company also paid to SKI investment
management fees of $3.5 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 million during 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively. In addition, expenses allocated to the Company from FKLA
during 1997, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $30.0 million, $10.5 million and $14.3
million, respectively.
During 1995, the Company sold certain mortgages and real estate-related
investments, net of reserves, amounting to approximately $3.5 million to an
affiliated non-life realty company, in exchange for cash. No gain or loss was
recognized on these sales. During 1996, the Company purchased approximately
$24.5 million of real estate-related investments from an affiliated non-life
realty subsidiary for cash. The Company also paid to Kemper real estate
subsidiaries $2.2 million, $1.8 million and $1.8 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, related to the management of the Company's real estate portfolio.
(8) REINSURANCE
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into reinsurance
agreements to diversify risk and limit its overall financial exposure to certain
blocks of fixed-rate annuities and to individual death claims. The Company
generally cedes 100 percent of the related annuity liabilities under the terms
of the reinsurance agreements. Although these reinsurance agreements
contractually obligate the reinsurers to reimburse the Company, they do not
discharge the Company from its primary liabilities and obligations to
policyholders. As such, these amounts paid or deemed to have been paid are
recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as reinsurance recoverables
and ceded future policy benefits.
In 1992 and 1991, the Company entered into 100 percent indemnity
reinsurance agreements ceding $515.7 million and $416.3 million, respectively,
of its fixed-rate annuity liabilities to Fidelity Life Association, a Mutual
Legal Reserve Company ("FLA"). FLA is a mutual insurance company that shares
common management and common board members with the Company, FKLA and Kemper. As
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the reinsurance recoverable related to the
fixed-rate annuity liabilities ceded to FLA amounted to $382.6 million and
$427.2 million, respectively. During 1995, the Company recorded income of $4.4
million related to a ceding commission experience adjustment from the 1992
reinsurance agreement.
In December 1996, the Company assumed on a yearly renewable term basis
approximately $14.4 billion (face amount) of term life insurance from FKLA. As a
result of this transaction, the Company recorded premiums and reserves of
approximately $7.3 million. The difference between the cash transferred, which
represents the statutory reserves of the business assumed, and the reserves
recorded under generally accepted accounting principles, of approximately $18.4
million, was deemed to be a capital contribution from Kemper and was recorded as
additional paid-in-capital during 1996. Premiums assumed during 1997 under the
terms of the treaty amounted to $21.1 million and the face amount which remained
outstanding at December 31, 1997 amounted to $12.6 billion.
The Company's retention limit on term life insurance prior to 1997 was $300
thousand (face amount) on the life of any one individual with the excess amounts
ceded to outside reinsurers. The term life insurance business assumed from FKLA
during 1996 did not have any individual contracts greater than $300 thousand in
face amount. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company ceded 90 percent of all new
term life insurance premiums to outside reinsurers. Term life reserves ceded to
outside reinsurers on the Company's direct business amounted to approximately
$139 thousand and $102 thousand as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During December 1997, the Company entered into a funds held reinsurance
agreement with a Zurich affiliated company, EPICENTRE Reinsurance (Bermuda)
Limited ("EPICENTRE"). Under the terms of this agreement, the Company ceded, on
a yearly renewable term basis, ninety percent of the net amount at risk (death
benefit payable to the insured less the insured's separate account cash
surrender value) related to a new product developed in 1997, a non-registered
variable bank-owned life insurance contract ("BOLI"), which is held in the
Company's separate accounts. During 1997, the Company issued $59.3 billion (face
amount) of new BOLI business and ceded $51.1 billion (face amount) to EPICENTRE
under the terms of the treaty. During 1997, the Company also ceded $24.3 million
of separate account fees (cost of insurance charges) to EPICENTRE. The Company
has also withheld approximately $23.4 million of such funds due to EPICENTRE
under the terms of the reinsurance agreement as a component of benefits and
funds payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1997.
(9) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
FKLA sponsors a welfare plan that provides medical and life insurance
benefits to its retired and active employees and the Company is allocated a
portion of the costs of providing such benefits. The Company is self insured
with respect to medical benefits, and the plan is not funded except with respect
to certain disability-related medical claims. The medical plan provides for
medical insurance benefits at retirement, with eligibility based upon age and
the participant's number of years of participation attained at retirement. The
plan is contributory for pre-Medicare retirees, and will be contributory for all
retiree coverage for most current employees, with contributions generally
adjusted annually. Postretirement life insurance benefits are noncontributory
and are limited to $10,000 per participant.
The allocated accumulated postretirement benefit obligation accrued by the
Company amounted to $1.9 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
The discount rate used in determining the allocated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.25 percent and 7.75 percent for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The assumed health care trend rate used was based on projected experience for
1997 and 1998, 8 percent in 1999, gradually declining to 5.0 percent by the year
2002 and remaining at that level thereafter.
A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate
for each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 by $242 thousand and $191 thousand,
respectively.
The Company also provides certain severance-related policies to provide
benefits, generally limited in time, to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is involved in various legal actions for which it establishes
liabilities where appropriate. In the opinion of the Company's management, based
upon the advice of legal counsel, the resolution of such litigation is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
Although neither the Company or its joint venture projects have been
identified as a "potentially responsible party" under Federal environmental
guidelines, inherent in the ownership of or lending to real estate projects is
the possibility that environmental pollution conditions may exist on or near or
relate to properties owned or previously owned on properties securing loans.
Where the Company has presently identified remediation costs, they have been
taken into account in determining the cash flows and resulting valuations of the
related real estate assets. Based on the Company's receipt and review of
environmental reports on most of the projects in which it is involved, the
Company believes its environmental exposure would be immaterial to its
consolidated results of operations. However, the Company may be required in the
future to take actions to remedy environmental exposures, and there can be no
assurance that material environmental exposures will not develop or be
identified in the future. The amount of future environmental costs is impossible
to estimate due to, among other factors, the unknown magnitude of possible
exposures, the unknown timing and extent of corrective actions that may be
required, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to others
and the extent such costs may be covered by insurance or various environmental
indemnification agreements.
See the note captioned "Financial Instruments--Off-Balance-Sheet Risk"
below for the discussion regarding the Company's loan commitments and standby
financing agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The Company is liable for guaranty fund assessments related to certain
unaffiliated insurance companies that have become insolvent during the years
1997 and prior. The Company's financial statements include provisions for all
known assessments that are expected to be levied against the Company as well as
an estimate of amounts (net of estimated future premium tax recoveries) that the
Company believes it will be assessed in the future for which the life insurance
industry has estimated the cost to cover losses to policyholders. The Company is
also contingently liable for any future guaranty fund assessments related to
insolvencies of unaffiliated insurance companies, for which the life insurance
industry has been unable to estimate the cost to cover losses to policyholders.
No specific amount can be reasonably estimated for such insolvencies as of
December 31, 1997.
(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
At December 31, 1997, the Company had future legal loan commitments and
stand-by financing agreements totaling $75.3 million to support the financing
needs of various real estate investments. To the extent these arrangements are
called upon, amounts loaned would be secured by assets of the joint ventures,
including first mortgage liens on the real estate. The Company's criteria in
making these arrangements are the same as for its mortgage loans and other real
estate investments. The Company presently expects to fund approximately $21.2
million of these arrangements. These commitments are included in the Company's
analysis of real estate-related reserves and write-downs. The fair values of
loan commitments and standby financing agreements are estimated in conjunction
with and using the same methodology as the fair value estimates of mortgage
loans and other real estate-related investments.
(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates are made at specific points in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument. A significant portion of the Company's financial instruments are
carried at fair value. (See note captioned "Invested Assets and Related
Income".) Fair value estimates for financial instruments not carried at fair
value are generally determined using discounted cash flow models and assumptions
that are based on judgments regarding current and future economic conditions and
the risk characteristics of the investments. Although fair value estimates are
calculated using assumptions that management believes are appropriate, changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates and such estimates
should be used with care.
Fair value estimates are determined for existing on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and certain liabilities that are not
considered financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
estimates presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. For
example, the Company's subsidiaries are not considered financial instruments,
and their value has not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. In
addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and
losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been
considered in any of the estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Fixed maturities and equity securities: Fair values were determined by
using market quotations, or independent pricing services that use prices
provided by market makers or estimates of fair values obtained from yield data
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics, or fair
value as determined in good faith by the Company's portfolio manager, SKI.
Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair values.
Mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments: Fair values were
estimated based upon the investments observable market price, net of estimated
costs to sell. The estimates of fair value should be used with care given the
inherent difficulty of estimating the fair value of real estate due to the lack
of a liquid quotable market.

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Other loans and investments: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair values. The
fair values of policy loans were estimated by discounting the expected future
cash flows using an interest rate charged on policy loans for similar policies
currently being issued.
Life policy benefits: Fair values of the life policy benefits regarding
investment contracts (primarily deferred annuities) and universal life contracts
were estimated by discounting gross benefit payments, net of contractual
premiums, using the average crediting rate currently being offered in the
marketplace for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those
remaining for the contracts being valued. The Company had projected its future
average crediting rate in 1997 and 1996 to be 5.25 percent and 4.75 percent,
respectively, while the assumed average market crediting rate was 6.0 percent
and 5.8 percent in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO") is incorporated under
the insurance laws of the State of Illinois. KILICO is licensed in the District
of Columbia and all states, except New York. KILICO is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), a nonoperating holding company.
On January 4, 1996, an investor group comprised of Zurich Insurance Company
("Zurich"), and Insurance Partners, L.P. ("Insurance Partners") acquired all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Kemper. As a result of the change in
control, Zurich and Insurance Partners owned 80 percent and 20 percent,
respectively, of Kemper and therefore KILICO. On February 27, 1998, Zurich
acquired Insurance Partners' remaining 20 percent interest for cash. As a result
of this transaction, Kemper and KILICO became wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Zurich.
The acquisition of Kemper on January 4, 1996 was accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, KILICO's
assets and liabilities have been marked to their relative fair values as of the
acquisition date. The difference between the cost of acquiring KILICO and the
net fair values of KILICO's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date
has been recorded as goodwill. KILICO began to amortize goodwill during 1996 on
a straight-line basis over twenty-five years. In December of 1997, KILICO
changed its amortization period to twenty years in order to conform to Zurich's
accounting practices and policies.
Deferred insurance acquisition costs, and the related amortization thereof,
for policies sold prior to January 4, 1996 have been replaced by the value of
business acquired.
The value of business acquired reflects the estimated fair value of
KILICO's life insurance business in force and represents the portion of the cost
to acquire KILICO that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future
cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of acquisition. Such
value is the present value of the actuarially determined projected cash flows
for the acquired policies.
The value of the business acquired is amortized over the estimated contract
life of the business acquired in relation to the present value of estimated
gross profits using current assumptions based on an interest rate equal to the
liability or contract rate on the value of business acquired. The estimated
amortization and accretion of interest for the value of business acquired for
each of the years through December 31, 2003 are as follows:

2003................................................ 65,132 (15,897) 4,364 53,599
</TABLE>
The projected ending balance of the value of business acquired will be
further adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses on fixed
maturities held as available for sale in the investment portfolio. Such
adjustments are not recorded in KILICO's net income but rather are recorded as a
credit or charge to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax.
As of June 30, 1998, the accumulated affects of this adjustment increased the
value of business acquired and accumulated other comprehensive income by
approximately $7.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
2. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments consisting of
normal recurring accruals have been made for a fair statement of the results of
KILICO for the periods included in these financial statements. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes in the 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A No. 1.
3. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, REPORTING
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses). This statement requires that all items required to be reported be
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. KILICO adopted
SFAS No. 130 on January 1, 1998 and accordingly restated 1997 results for
comparative purposes. The impact of implementation did not affect KILICO's
reported net income before
70

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
reporting other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income, however, by
design, could be materially different from reported net income, as changes in
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for example are now
included as a component of reported comprehensive income.
4. During December 1997, KILICO entered into a funds held reinsurance
agreement with a Zurich affiliated company, EPICENTRE Reinsurance (Bermuda)
Limited ("EPICENTRE"). Under the terms of this agreement, KILICO ceded, on a
yearly renewable term basis, ninety percent of the net amount at risk (death
benefit payable to the insured less the insured's separate account cash
surrender value) related to a non-registered variable bank-owned life insurance
contract ("BOLI"), which is held in KILICO's separate accounts. During the first
quarter of 1998, KILICO ceded to EPICENTRE approximately $77.3 million of
separate account fees (cost of insurance charges) paid to KILICO by these
policyholders for the life insurance coverage provided under the terms of each
separate account contract. KILICO has also withheld approximately $95.3 million
of such funds due to EPICENTRE under the terms of the reinsurance agreement as a
component of benefits and funds payable in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 1998. KILICO remains primarily liable to its policyholders
for these amounts.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES,
CASH SURRENDER VALUES AND
DEATH BENEFITS
The tables in this Prospectus have been prepared to help show how values
under a Policy change with investment experience. The tables illustrate how Cash
Values, Surrender Values (reflecting the deduction of Surrender Charges, if any)
and Death Benefits under a Policy issued on an Insured of a given age would vary
over time if the hypothetical gross investment rates of return were a uniform,
after tax, annual rate of 0%, 6%, and 12%. If the hypothetical gross investment
rate of return averages 0%, 6%, or 12%, but fluctuates over or under those
averages throughout the years, the Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits may be different.
The amounts shown for the Cash Value, Surrender Value and Death Benefit as
of each Policy Anniversary reflect the fact that the net investment return on
the assets held in the Subaccounts is lower than the gross return. This is
because of a daily charge to the Subaccounts for assuming mortality and expense
risks, which is equivalent to an effective annual charge of 0.90%. This charge
is guaranteed not to exceed an effective annual rate of 0.90%. In addition, the
net investment returns also reflect the deduction of the Fund investment
advisory fees and other Fund expenses, (.85%, the average of the fees and
expenses). The tables also reflect applicable charges and deductions including a
3.5% deduction against premiums, a monthly administrative charge of $5 and
monthly charges for providing insurance protection. For each hypothetical gross
investment rate of return, tables are provided reflecting current and guaranteed
cost of insurance charges. Hypothetical gross average investment rates of return
of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to the following approximate net annual investment
rate of return of -1.75%, 4.25% and 10.25%, on a current basis. On a guaranteed
basis, these rates of return would be -1.75%, 4.25% and 10.25%, respectively.
Cost of insurance rates vary by issue age, sex, rating class and Policy Year
and, therefore, are not reflected in the approximate net annual investment rate
of return above.
Values are shown for Policies which are issued to a male standard nonsmoker
and a male preferred nonsmoker. Values for Policies issued on a basis involving
a higher mortality risk would result in lower Cash Values, Surrender Values and
Death Benefits than those illustrated. Females generally have a more favorable
rate structure than males.
The tables also reflect the fact that no charges for Federal, state or
other income taxes are currently made against the Separate Account. If such a
charge is made in the future, it will take a higher gross rate of return than
illustrated to produce the net after-tax returns shown in the tables.
Upon request, KILICO will furnish an illustration based on the proposed
Insured's age, sex and premium payment requested.
