     This Prospectus describes a variable life insurance policy of Kemper
Investors Life Insurance Company. The Policy provides life insurance and
accumulates variable Cash Value. Policy benefits depend upon the investment
experience of the KILICO Variable Separate Account. Generally, Policy premiums
are flexible.
    
 
   
     The Policy is "life insurance" for federal tax purposes. If the Policy is a
modified endowment contract, different tax rules apply to distributions. See
"Federal Tax Matters", page 21 for a discussion of laws that affect the tax
treatment of the Policy.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner has the following choices for allocating premium:
    
 
   
          - the Fixed Account, which accrues interest at our guaranteed rate,
     and
    
 
   
          - the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, which invest in portfolios
     of underlying mutual funds.
    
 
   
     The following portfolios of underlying mutual funds are currently available
under the Policy:
    
 
   
          - Investors Fund Series
    
   
            - Kemper Money Market
    
   
            - Kemper Total Return

     You may obtain more information about these portfolios in the attached
prospectuses. Not all portfolios described in the prospectuses may be available
under the Policy.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner chooses from two death benefit options. The Death Benefit
is at least the amount shown in the Policy Specifications, unless there are
loans. Cash Value is not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value does not cover all
Policy charges, the Policy will lapse. The Policy Specifications show the
guarantee premium and the guarantee period. The Policy will not lapse during the
guarantee period if the guarantee premium is paid.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner may cancel the Policy and receive a refund during the
Free-Look Period.
    
 
   
     If you already own a flexible premium variable life insurance policy, it
may not be advantageous to buy additional insurance or to replace your policy
with the Policy described in this Prospectus.
    
 
   
     THIS PROSPECTUS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED OR PRECEDED BY A CURRENT
     PROSPECTUS FOR THE AVAILABLE UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS. YOU SHOULD READ

                                    SUMMARY
 
   
     This section summarizes this Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus.
You should refer to the heading "Definitions" for the meaning of certain terms.
If states require variations, they appear in supplements attached to this
Prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy. Unless otherwise indicated, this
Prospectus describes an in force Policy with no loans.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner pays a premium for life insurance coverage on the Insured.
Generally, an 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. Cash Value is
not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy charges,
the Policy will lapse unless an additional premium payment or loan repayment is
made. The Policy will remain in force during the guarantee period if the
premiums paid, minus withdrawals and Debt, are at least equal to the guarantee
premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 9, "Charges and Deductions," page 15, and "Policy Benefits
and Rights," page 11.)
    
 
   
     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. The Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if excess
premiums are paid. For a Policy treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be included in the Policy owner's gross federal
income (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
    
 
   
     The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary. The Policy is not comparable to a systematic investment plan of a
mutual fund.
    
 
POLICY BENEFITS
 
   
     CASH VALUE. Cash Value reflects the amount and frequency of premium
payments, the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts, any values in
the Fixed Account and Loan Account, and Policy charges. The Policy owner bears
the entire investment risk on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. We do
not guarantee Separate Account Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash
Value," page 13.)
    
 
   
     The Policy owner may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the
Surrender Value. The Surrender Value is the Cash Value minus surrender charges
and outstanding Debt. Partial withdrawals are available subject to restrictions.
(See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 15.)
    
 
   
     POLICY LOANS. The Policy owner may borrow up to 90% of Cash Value minus
surrender charges. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. Interest is charged at
an effective annual rate of 4.50% in the first nine Policy Years and 3.00%
thereafter. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
    
 
   
     When a loan is made, a portion of Cash Value equal to the loan amount is
transferred from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account (pro rata, unless
the Policy owner requests otherwise) to the Loan Account. We credit 3% annual
interest to Cash Value held in the Loan Account. (See "Policy Benefits and
Rights--Policy Loans," page 14.)
    
 
   
     If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is treated as a
taxable distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
    
 
   
     DEATH BENEFITS. An in force Policy pays a death benefit payment upon the
death of the Insured. The Policy has 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. The death benefit is never less than the
multiple of Cash Value specified in Appendix B. The death benefit payable is
reduced by any Debt. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Death Benefits," page
11.)
    
 
PREMIUMS
 
   
     The amount and frequency of premium payments are flexible. The Policy owner
specifies a Planned Premium on the application. However, the owner is not
required to make the planned premiums, 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 affects whether the Policy
will be classified as a modified
    
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   7
 
endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium payment is $50. Other minimums
apply for other payment modes.
 
   
     Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover all Policy charges
for the Policy to remain in force. A Policy will remain in force during the
guarantee period if premiums paid, less withdrawals and Debt, equal or exceed
the sum of the guarantee premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums," page 9.)
    
 
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
   
     ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The portion of the premium available for allocation
equals the premium paid less applicable charges. A Policy owner indicates in the
application the percentages of premium to be allocated among the Subaccounts of
the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. The Policy currently offers
twenty-three Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a designated
portfolio of one of the Funds.
    
 
   
     The initial premium, minus applicable charges, is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount on the day after receipt. On the Trade Date, the
Separate Account Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with the Policy owner's
instructions in the application. (See "The Policy -- Policy Issue," page 9.)
    
 
   
     TRANSFERS. The Policy owner may transfer Separate Account Value among the
Subaccounts once every fifteen days. One annual transfer is permitted between
the Fixed Account and the Subaccounts. (See "Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 9.)

CHARGES
 
   
     We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. In addition, we deduct a charge of 1%
of each premium payment to compensate us for corporate income tax liability.
(See Charges and Deductions--Deductions from Premiums, page 15.) We currently do
not deduct any other charges from premium or the Separate Account for federal,
state or other taxes. Should we determine that these taxes apply, we may make
deductions from the Separate Account to pay those taxes. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 22.)
    
 
   
     We will deduct a charge from Cash Value in each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Processing Date for the cost of
life insurance coverage. In addition, we deduct an asset charge, at an annual
rate of .90%, from each Subaccount on a daily basis for our assumption of
mortality and expense risks. (See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance
Charge and Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," pages 15 and 16, respectively.)
    
 
   
     On each Monthly Processing Date, we deduct from Cash Value a $5 per month
administrative expense charge. (See "Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Administrative Charge," page 16.)
    
 
   
     We deduct a surrender charge if the Policy is surrendered or the Cash Value
is applied under a Settlement Option prior to the 15th Policy Year (or the 15th
Policy Year following an increase in Specified Amount). (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 15.)
    
 
   
     The Policy owner indirectly bears the annual Fund operating expenses of the
Portfolios in which the Subaccounts invest. These may include 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
    
 
   
     Under existing tax law, any increase in Cash Value is generally not taxable
until a distribution occurs through a withdrawal or surrender. Generally,
distributions are not included in income until the amount of the distributions
exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy. If the Policy is a modified endowment
contract, a loan is also treated as a distribution. Generally, distributions
from a modified endowment contract (including loans) are included in income to
the extent the Cash Value exceeds premiums paid. A change of Owners, an
assignment, a loan or a surrender of the Policy may have tax consequences.
    
 
   
     Death Benefits payable under the Policy are generally excludable from the
gross income of the Beneficiary. As a result, the Beneficiary would not be
subject to income tax on the Death Benefit. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page
22.)
    
 
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
 
   
     The Policy owner may examine a Policy and return it for a refund during the
Free-Look Period. The length of the Free-Look Period depends on the state where
the Policy is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date the
owner receives the Policy. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Free-Look Period
and Exchange Rights," page 15.)

                        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"). Zurich is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services
("ZFS"). ZFS was formed in the September, 1998 merger of the Zurich Group with
the financial services business of B.A.T. Industries. ZFS is owned by Zurich
Allied A.G. and Allied Zurich p.l.c. fifty-seven percent and forty-three
percent, respectively. 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
as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate Account
receives and invests 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 our
general business. The income, capital gains or capital losses of the Separate
Account are credited to or charged against Separate Account assets, without
regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses of any other separate
account or any other business we conduct. The Policy benefits are our
obligations.
    
 
   
     The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). However, the Commission does not supervise
the management, investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or
KILICO.
    
 
   
     The Policy currently offers twenty-three Subaccounts. 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,
American Skandia Trust, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, Fidelity
Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
III and Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund. Each is a series type mutual fund
registered as an open-end management investment company. The Commission does not
supervise their management, investment practices or policies. The Funds 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
we do not foresee disadvantages to variable life insurance owners, variable
annuity owners or qualified retirement plans. The Funds have an obligation to
monitor events for material conflicts between owners and determine what action,
if any, should be taken. In addition, if we believe that a Fund's response to
any of those events or conflicts insufficiently protects owners, we will take
appropriate action on our own.
    
 
   
     The Separate Account invests in the 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.
    
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   10
 
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.

CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
 
   
     We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the shares held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the portfolios
and to substitute shares of another portfolio or of another investment company,
if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in
our judgment further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. We may also eliminate or
    
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   12
 
   
combine one or more subaccounts, transfer assets, or substitute one subaccount
for another subaccount, if, in our discretion, marketing, tax or investment
conditions warrant. We will not substitute any shares attributable to a Policy
owner's interest in a Subaccount without notice to the owner and the
Commission's prior approval, if required. 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 Policy owners.
    
 
   
     We also reserve 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. New subaccounts may be established
when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
New subaccounts may be made available to existing owners as we determine.
    
 
   
     If we deem it 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 our other
separate accounts. To the extent permitted by law, we may also transfer assets
of the Separate Account to another separate account, or to the General Account.
    
 
                              FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
 
   
     AMOUNTS ALLOCATED OR TRANSFERRED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT ARE PART OF OUR
GENERAL ACCOUNT, SUPPORTING INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE
FIXED ACCOUNT ARE NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT"),
AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED
ACCOUNT NOR ANY FIXED ACCOUNT INTERESTS GENERALLY ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE 1933 OR 1940 ACTS. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE COMMISSION
HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE FIXED
ACCOUNT. STATEMENTS REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE
GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
    
 
   
     Under the Fixed Account Option, we pay a fixed interest rate for stated
periods. This Prospectus describes only the aspects of the Policy involving the
Separate Account, unless we refer to fixed accumulation and settlement options.
    
 
   
     We guarantee the interest rate credited to the Fixed Account will be at
least 3% annually. At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of 3%. We
reserve the right to change the rate of excess interest credited. We also
reserve the right to declare different rates of excess interest depending on
when amounts are allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. As a result,
amounts at any designated time may be credited with a different rate of excess
interest than the rate previously credited to such amounts and to amounts
allocated or transferred at any other designated time.

                                   THE POLICY
 
POLICY ISSUE
 
   
     Before we issue a Policy, we must receive a completed application and a
full initial premium at our home office. We ordinarily issue a Policy only for
Insureds Age 1 through 75 who supply satisfactory evidence of insurability.
Acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting requirements. If we
decline an application, we will refund the Cash Value in the Kemper Money Market
Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and deductions against
premiums.
    
 
   
     After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to its owner,
insurance coverage begins as of the Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
    
 
PREMIUMS
 
   
     We must receive premiums at our home office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks must be made payable to KILICO.
    
 
   
     PLANNED PREMIUMS. A Policy owner specifies a Planned Premium payment on the
application that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified
period of time. However, the owner is not required to pay Planned Premiums.
    
 
   
     The minimum monthly premium is $50. Other 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. Accordingly,
variations from Planned Premiums may cause the Policy to become a modified
endowment contract, and therefore subject to different tax treatment from
conventional life insurance contracts for certain pre-death distributions (See
"Federal Tax Matters".)
    
 
   
     Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains 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 ends on the third Policy
anniversary. During the guarantee period, the Policy remains in force and no
grace period will begin, provided that the total premiums received, minus any
withdrawals and any Debt, equals or exceeds the monthly guarantee premium times
the number of months since the Policy Date, including the current month.
    
 
   
     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.") We may reject or
limit any premium payment below the current minimum premium amount, or that
would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium. We may
return all or a portion of a premium payment if it would disqualify the Policy
as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
    
 
   
     Certain charges are deducted from each premium payment. (See "Charges and
Deductions.") The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, is
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account
Value."
    
 
   
     POLICY DATE. The Policy Date is used to determine Policy Years and Monthly
Processing Dates. The Policy Date is the date that insurance coverage takes
effect. If this date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the Policy Date will
be the first of the following month.
    
 
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
 
   
     ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS.  The initial net premium is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value remains in the Kemper Money
Market Subaccount until the Trade Date. On the Trade Date, the Separate Account
Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated to the Subaccounts and
the Fixed Account as specified in the application. Additional premiums received
will be allocated as specified in the application or in later written
instructions received from the Policy owner. 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.
    
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   14
 
   
     The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. The Policy 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. These transfers are limited to
one transfer every fifteen days. All transfers made during a business day are
treated as one transfer.
    
 
   
     Fixed Account Value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of 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 us, or by
telephone authorization under forms we authorize. (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 Policy owner's
remaining interest in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are
to be transferred, would be less than $500 after the transfer. We may waive
these minimums for reallocations under established third party asset allocation
programs. Transfers are based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined
following our receipt of valid, complete transfer instructions. We may suspend,
modify or terminate the transfer provision. We reserve the right to charge up to
$25 for each transfer. We disclaim all liability if we follow in good faith
instructions given in accordance with our procedures, including requests for
personal identifying information, that are designed to limit unauthorized use of
the privilege. Therefore, a Policy owner bears the 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
authorized asset allocation program. 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 available for
transfer under third party authorizations.
    
 
   
     AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. A Policy owner may elect to have transfers
made automatically among the Subaccounts 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
are not subject to the $500 minimum transfer limitations. An election to
participate in the automatic asset reallocation program must be in writing on
our form and returned to our home office.
    
 
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
 
   
     LAPSE. The Policy will lapse when the Surrender Value is insufficient to
cover the current monthly deductions and a grace period expires without a
sufficient payment. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
    
 
   
     The grace period is 61 days. The grace period begins when we send notice
that the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions. If we
do not receive a premium payment or loan repayment during the grace period
sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months, the Policy will 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 current allocation instructions. Amounts over and above the
amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be paid as additional premiums, to the
extent permissible. (See "The Policy--Premiums.")
    
 
   
     We will not accept any payment causing the total premium payment to exceed
the maximum payment permitted for life insurance under the guideline premium
limits. However, the Policy owner may voluntarily repay a portion of Debt to
avoid lapse. The owner may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     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 us;
    
 
     (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 which existed at the date of
         termination of coverage.
    
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   15
 
   
     The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy is the Monthly Processing
Date that coincides with or next follows the date we approve the application for
reinstatement. Suicide and incontestability provisions 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 equal the death benefit minus any Debt and
minus any monthly deductions due during the grace period.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner selects in the application one of two death benefit options:
Option A or Option B. 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 Policy owner chooses the Specified Amount on the application. The
Specified Amount is stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified
Amount is $50,000.
    
 
   
     OPTION A. Under Option A, the death benefit equals 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 Insured's age. The death benefit
percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for older
Insureds. In setting the death benefit percentages, we seek to ensure that the
Policy will qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment. 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 equals 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. The death benefit under Option B always varies 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 Amount, but different
Cash Values and assume that the Insured is Age 35 at the time of death and that
there is no outstanding Debt.

Death Benefit Under Option B..............    $125,000       $150,000         $187,500
</TABLE>
 
   
     Under Option A, the death benefit for Policy I equals $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 equals the higher value. Under Option B,
the death benefit for Policy I equals $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 equals the higher value.
    
 
   
     All calculations of death benefit are 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 the Policy's settlements options.
    
 
   
     Death Benefits ordinarily are paid within seven days after we receive all
required documentation. 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 change the death benefit
option from Option A to Option B, or from Option B to Option A. Changes in the
death benefit option may be made, in writing once per Policy Year. The effective
date of the change is the next Monthly Processing Date after we accept the
change.
    
 
   
     A change in the death benefit from Option A to Option B reduces the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option B at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option A immediately prior to the change. The change in option
affects the determination of the death benefit since Cash Value will then be
added to the new Specified Amount, and the death benefit then varies with Cash
Value.
    
 
   
     A change in the death benefit from Option B to Option A increases the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option A at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option B immediately prior to the change. However, the change in
option affects the determination of the death benefit since the Cash Value is
not added to the Specified Amount in determining the death benefit. The death
benefit then equals 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, which varies with the net amount at risk. Generally, net
amount at risk is the amount by which the death benefit exceeds Cash Value. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") If the death benefit does
not equal Cash Value times a death benefit percentage under either Options A or
B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease the future net
amount at risk. This would decrease the future cost of insurance charges.
Changing from Option A to Option B generally results in a net amount at risk
that remains level. Such a change, however, results in an increase in the cost
of insurance charges over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase with
the Insured's Age.
    
 
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
 
   
     After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may increase or decrease the
Specified Amount, subject to our approval. A change in Specified Amount may only
be made once per Policy Year. The minimum change in Specified Amount is $25,000.
Increases are not allowed after the Insured attains age 75. Increasing the
Specified Amount could increase the death benefit. Decreasing the Specified
Amount could decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death
benefit will depend, among other things, upon the selected death benefit option
and the degree to which the death benefit exceeds the Specified Amount prior to
the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of
death benefit and Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase
the net amount at risk, thereby increasing a Policy owner's cost of insurance
charge and the guarantee premium amount. However, an increase in Specified
Amount does not extend the guarantee period. Conversely, a decrease in Specified
Amount may decrease the net amount at risk, thereby decreasing an owner's cost
of insurance charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not decrease the
guarantee premium. Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     INCREASES. We require additional evidence of insurability for an increase
in Specified Amount.
    
 
   
     DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount is first applied to the most
recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A decrease
is not permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the lesser of the
initial Specified Amount or $50,000. If after a decrease in the Specified
Amount, total premiums paid exceed the tax law's premium limitations, we will
refund the amount exceeding the premium limitations. Some or all of the amount
refunded may be subject to tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     We reserve the right to deny a requested decrease in Specified Amount. The
reasons for denial may include:
    
 
   
          - our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
     the tax guideline premium limitations, resulting in the Policy's
     termination or
    
 
   
          - our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
     the tax guideline premium limitations because the payments from Cash Value
     required to effect the decrease exceed Surrender Value.
    
 
   
     Requests for change in Specified Amount must be made in writing. The
requested change becomes effective on the Monthly Processing Date on or next
following our acceptance of the request. If the Policy owner is not the Insured,
we require the Insured's consent.

BENEFITS AT MATURITY
 
   
     If the Insured is alive on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, we pay the Policy owner the Surrender Value of the
Policy. On the Maturity Date, the Policy terminates and we have no further
obligations under the Policy.
    
 
CASH VALUE
 
   
     Cash Value reflects
    
 
   
          - 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
    
 
   
          - Policy charges
    
 
   
A Policy owner may make partial withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the
Policy and receive the Policy's Surrender Value. (See "Surrender Privilege.")
Cash Value is not guaranteed.
    
 
   
     CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. Cash Value is the total of
    
 
   
          - Separate Account Value
    
 
   
          - Fixed Account Value
    
 
   
          - Loan Account value
    
 
   
     Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It is first calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial premium, minus
the monthly deductions for the first Policy Month. (See "Charges and
Deductions.")
    
 
   
     On any Valuation Date, Separate Account Value in any Subaccount equals:
    
 
   
          (1) Separate Account Value in the Subaccount at the end of the
     preceding Valuation Period times the Investment Experience Factor (defined
     below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
    
 
   
          (2) Any net premiums received and allocated to the Subaccount during
     the current Valuation Period; plus
    
 
   
          (3) All amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current
     Valuation Period (from a Subaccount, the Fixed Account or the Loan Account
     for Policy loan repayment (see "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
     Loans,")); 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 for 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 our
declared annual rate. The annual rate will never be less than 3%.
    
 
   
     ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. Each Subaccount has its own Accumulation Unit
Value. When net premiums or other amounts are allocated to a Subaccount, units
are purchased based on the Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value 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.
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   18
 
   
     For each Subaccount, 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 times the Accumulation Unit Value
for the preceding Valuation 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 due to 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 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 investments held in the Subaccount, 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 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 preceding 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 Policy owner may borrow all or part of the
Policy's maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 90% of Cash Value minus
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. The loan ordinarily is paid within 7 days after we receive a written loan
request, although payments may be postponed under certain circumstances. (See
"Postponement of Payments," and "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     On the date a loan is made, the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account. Unless the Policy owner
directs otherwise, the loan amount is deducted from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account in proportion to the values that each bears to the total of
Separate Account Value and Fixed Account Value at the end of the Valuation
Period during which the request is received.
    
 
   
     Loan interest is charged at an effective annual rate of 4.5% in the first
nine Policy Years and 3.00% thereafter. Interest not paid when due is added to
the loan amount. Unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of the next Policy Date
anniversary or when coverage ceases. The same interest rates apply to unpaid
interest. When interest is added to the loan amount, we transfer an equal amount
from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account.
    
 
   
     Cash Value in the Loan Account earns 3.00% annual interest. Such interest
is allocated to the Loan Account.
    
 
   
     LOAN REPAYMENT.  All or any portion of a loan may be repaid at any time. At
the time of repayment, the Loan Account is reduced by the repayment amount,
adjusted for the difference between interest charged and interest earned. The
net repayment amount is allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account,
according to the Policy owner's current allocation instructions, at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the repayment is received. These transfers are
not limited by the 15 day transfer restriction.
    
 
   
     EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay Policy charges. If Surrender Value on the
day preceding a Monthly Processing Date is less than the next monthly deductions
we will notify the Policy owner. (See "General Provisions--Written Notices and
Requests.") The Policy will lapse and terminate without value, unless we receive
a sufficient payment within 61 days of the date notice is sent. (See "The
Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
    
 
   
     EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan affects Cash Value. The
collateral for the outstanding loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does
not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or earn current interest in
the Fixed Account. If the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the
amount that would
    
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   19
 
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 a modified endowment contract, a loan is
treated as a distribution and is includible in income to the extent that Cash
Value exceeds premiums paid. Therefore, a loan may result in federal income tax
and a 10% tax penalty may also apply. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
 
   
     If the Insured is alive, the Policy owner may surrender the Policy for its
Surrender Value. To surrender the Policy, the owner must return the Policy to
us, along with a written request. Surrender Value equals Cash Value, minus
Surrender Charges and Debt. (See "Surrender Charge," below.)
    
 
   
     PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may
withdraw a portion of Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is
$500 and when a Surrender Charge is assessable, the maximum amount is 10% of the
Surrender Value. A $25 withdrawal charge is imposed for each withdrawal. (See
"Charges and Deductions.") A withdrawal decreases Cash Value by the amount of
the withdrawal and, if Death Benefit Option A is in effect, reduces Specified
Amount by the amount of the withdrawal.
    
 
FREE-LOOK PERIOD AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 
   
     During the Free-Look Period, the Policy owner may examine the Policy and
return it for a refund. The time period depends on where the Policy is issued;
however, it will 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 is the sum of Cash Value in the
Kemper Money Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and
deductions from Premium. An owner seeking a refund should return the Policy to
us or to the agent who sold the Policy.
    
 
   
     At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, the Policy
owner may exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life
insurance policy then currently offered by KILICO or an affiliate. Evidence of
insurability is not 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 must be repaid and the
Policy must be surrendered before the exchange is made. The new policy will have
the same Policy Date and issue age as the exchanged Policy.
    
 
                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
 
   
     We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. This charge reimburses us for paying
state premium taxes. We expect 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, is deducted to compensate us for higher corporate income taxes
under the current Internal Revenue Code.
    
 
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
 
   
     We deduct a cost of insurance charge monthly from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account. This charge covers our anticipated mortality costs. The cost of
insurance charge is deducted monthly in advance and is allocated pro rata among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.
    
 
   
     We deduct the cost of insurance by cancelling units on the Policy Date and
on each Monthly Processing Date thereafter. If the Monthly Processing Date falls
on a day other than a Valuation Date, the charge is determined on the next
Valuation Date. The cost of insurance charge is determined by multiplying the
cost of insurance rate (see below) by the "net amount at risk" for each Policy
month. The net amount at risk equals 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. We determine the
monthly cost of insurance rates based on our expectations as to future mortality
experience. Any change in the schedule of rates applies 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

<PAGE>   20
 
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. We currently place 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
 
   
     We deduct a daily charge, at an annual rate of 0.90%, from the Subaccounts
for mortality and expense risks we assume.
    
 
   
     The mortality and expense risk we assume is that our estimates of longevity
and of the expenses incurred over the life of the Policy will not be correct.
    
 
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
   
     We deduct a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse us for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to Policy owners. This charge is designed only to
reimburse us for actual administrative expenses. Currently, this charge is $5
per month.
    
 
OTHER CHARGES
 
   
     SURRENDER CHARGE. We deduct a Surrender Charge from Cash Value if the
Policy is surrendered or Cash Value is applied under a Settlement Option during
the first 14 Policy Years. A Surrender Charge is also assessed during the first
14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge
is:
    
 
   
     (a) an administrative component (issue charge); plus
    
 
   
     (b) a sales component (deferred sales charge); times
    
 
   
     (c) the Surrender Charge percentage.
    
 
   
     During the 14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount, an
additional Surrender Charge applies. The additional charge is 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 Surrender Charge is determined based upon the date we receive 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 covers the administrative expenses associated with underwriting
and issuing a Policy. These expenses include 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 plus (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:

     The deferred sales charge reimburses us for some of the expenses of
distributing the Policies.
    
 
   
     (c) Surrender Charge Percentage. For issue ages up to age 66, the Surrender
Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-5 and declines 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 declines by 10%

     (d) Example. Assume a female Insured purchases the Policy at age 40 for
$100,000 of Specified Amount, paying the Target Premium of $630 and an
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 is calculated as follows:

     WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We impose a charge of $25 for each partial withdrawal.
This charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses related to the
withdrawal.
    
 
   
     TRANSFER CHARGE.  We reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. The transfer charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses
related to the transfer.
    
 
   
     TAXES.  Currently, no charges are made against the Separate Account for
federal, state or other taxes attributable to the Separate Account. We may,
however, in the future impose charges for income taxes or other taxes
attributable to the Separate Account or the Policy. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS. Under investment advisory agreements with each
Fund, the investment manager and/or adviser provides investment advisory and/or
management services for the portfolios. The Funds are responsible for advisory
fees and various other expenses. Investment advisory fees and expenses differ
with respect to each of the portfolios of the Funds. (See "The Funds.")
    
 
   
     Each portfolio incurs annual fund operating expenses consisting of
management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses. [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]

have a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. The investment manager for the American Skandia Trust
has agreed to reimburse each Portfolio to the extent expenses exceed specified
percentage limits. For additional information about the fees and expenses of the
Funds, see "The Funds", page 5, and the prospectuses for the Funds.]
    
 
   
     The Fund(s) may pay 12b-1 fees to us or our affiliates for support services
relating to Fund shares. We may receive compensation from the investment
advisers for services related to the Funds. This compensation will be consistent
with the services rendered or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement.
For more information concerning investment advisory fees and other charges
against the portfolios, see the Funds' prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information available upon request.
    
 
   
     SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. A charge of $50 is imposed to enter into a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. In addition, a $25 charge is imposed each time a
change is made to the plan. These charges reimburse us for administrative
expenses of this plan. (See "Systematic Withdrawal Plan.")
    
 
   
     REDUCTION OF CHARGES.  We 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 our
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 unfairly
discriminate against any person, including the affected Policy owners and owners
of all other policies funded by the Separate Account.
    
 
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
 
   
     The Policy owner, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election
by the owner is in effect, may elect to have the Death Benefit or Surrender
Value 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. The payee elects monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The
option selected must result in a payment that at least equals our required
minimum in effect when the option is chosen. If at any time the payments are
less than the minimum, we may increase the period between payments to quarterly,
semi-annual or annual or make the payment in one lump sum.
    
 
   
     Benefit payments are based on Surrender Value calculated on the day
preceding the date the first benefit payment is due. The payment will be based
on the Settlement Option elected in accordance with the appropriate settlement
option table.
    
 
   
     OPTION 1--INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD. We pay income for the period and
payment mode elected. The period elected must at least 5 years, but not more
than 30 years.
    
 
   
     OPTION 2--LIFE INCOME. We pay 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.
    
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   23
 
   
     OPTION 3--LIFE INCOME WITH INSTALLMENTS GUARANTEED. We pay monthly income
for the guaranteed period elected and thereafter for the remaining lifetime of
the payee. The available guaranteed periods are 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
    
 
   
     OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We pay the full monthly income while
both payees are living. Upon the death of either payee, the income continues
during the lifetime of the surviving payee. The surviving payee's income is
based on the percentage designated (50%, 66 2/3%, 75% or 100%) at the time this
option is elected. Payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the
death of the surviving payee without regard to the number or total amount of
payments received.
    
 
   
     Our 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 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 us by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as we determine 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 us and the Policy 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
adjusted to reflect the correct sex and age.
    
 
INCONTESTABILITY
 
   
     We 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.
    
 
SUICIDE
 
   
     Suicide by the Insured, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date (or within two years following an increase in Specified Amount) is a
risk not assumed under the Policy. Our 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.

<PAGE>   24
 
ASSIGNMENT
 
   
     No Policy assignment is binding on us until we receive it. We assume no
responsibility for the validity of the assignment. Any claim under an assignment
is subject to proof of the extent of the assignee's interest. If the Policy is
assigned, the rights of the Policy owner and Beneficiary are subject to the
rights of the assignee of record.
    
 
NONPARTICIPATING
 
   
     The Policy does not pay dividends. It does not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
    
 
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
 
   
     The Policy owner may designate a new owner while the Insured is alive.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner designates primary and secondary Beneficiaries in the
application. KILICO relies upon the latest filed change of beneficiary. If the
Insured dies, and no designated Beneficiary is alive at that time, we will pay
the Insured's estate. The interest of any Beneficiary may be subject to that of
an assignee.
    
 
   
     In order to change the Policy owner or a designated Beneficiary, the owner
must sign our form. The change is effective when the owner signs the form, but
we are not liable for payments made or actions taken before we receive the
signed form.
    
 
RECORDS AND REPORTS
 
   
     We keep the Separate Account records. We send Policy owners, at their last
known address of record, an annual report showing:
    
 
   
<TABLE>
        <S>                                      <C>
        - Death Benefit                          - partial withdrawals
        - Accumulation Unit Value                - transfers
        - Cash Value                             - Policy loans and repayments
        - Surrender Value                        - Policy charges
        - additional premium payments
</TABLE>
    
 
   
     Confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions are also sent to
Policy owners. We also send annual and semi-annual Fund reports.
    
 
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
 
   
     Send written notices or requests to our home office at 1 Kemper Drive, Long
Grove, Illinois 60049. Please include the Policy number and the Insured's full
name. We send notices to a Policy owner's address shown in the application
unless an address change is filed with us.
    
 
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
 
   
     The following optional insurance benefits are available by Rider at the
time of application:
    
 
   
          - waiver of monthly deductions due to Insured's total disability
    
 
   
          - term insurance on the Insured's dependent children
    
 
   
          - acceleration of a portion of the death benefit due to Insured's
     terminal illness
    
 
   
          - term insurance on additional insureds
    
 
   
     The cost of these benefits is added to the monthly deduction. These
benefits and restrictions are described in the Rider. We provide samples of
these provisions upon written request.

                             DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
 
   
     Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, Cash Value in the Fixed Account,
the Kemper Money Market Subaccount or the Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount ("DCA Subaccount") is automatically transferred monthly to other
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. A Policy owner may enroll any time by
completing our Dollar Cost Averaging form. Transfers are made on the 10th day of
the month. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business days before
the transfer date.
    
 
   
     Transfers commence on the first transfer date following the Trade Date. The
minimum transfer amount is $500 per Subaccount or Fixed Account. In order to
enroll, Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount must be at least $10,000. Dollar Cost
Averaging automatically ends if Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount is less than
the amount designated to be transferred. Cash Value remaining in the DCA
Subaccount will be transferred.
    
 
   
     Dollar Cost Averaging ends if:
    
 
   
          - the number of designated monthly transfers has been completed
    
 
   
          - Cash Value attributable to the DCA Subaccount is insufficient to
     complete the next transfer
    
 
   
          - we receive the Policy owner's written termination at least 5
     business days before the next transfer date
    
 
   
          - the Policy is surrendered.
    
 
   
     We will give 30 days notice if we amend the Dollar Cost Averaging program.
We may terminate the program at any time.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner may change Dollar Cost Averaging instructions by completing
our enrollment form. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business
days (10 business days for Fixed Account transfers), before the next transfer
date.
    
 
   
     To participate in Dollar Cost Averaging, a Policy owner may have Cash Value
in the Fixed Account and no more than 8 non-DCA Subaccounts.
    
 
                           SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
 
   
     We offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") allowing Policy owners to
preauthorize periodic withdrawals after the first Policy Year. Policy owners
instruct us to withdraw selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or up to 2
Subaccounts, on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The Policy
owner's periodic payment must be at least $500. These periodic payments are
partial withdrawals and are subject to surrender charges. (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privileges," page 14.) The $25 withdrawal charge does not
apply. However, we charge $50 to establish an SWP and a $25 charge each time a
change is made. These charges reimburse us for SWP administrative expenses.
Periodic payments may be subject to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.") An SWP application and additional information may
be obtained from the Policy owner's representative or us. We will give 30 days
notice if we amend the SWP. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Policy
owner or us.
    
 
                            DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
 
   
     The Policy is sold by licensed insurance representatives who represent us
and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that 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"), our
affiliate. IBS is engaged in the sale and distribution of other variable life
policies and annuities.
    
 
   
     The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives is
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, we may pay
additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to
licensed broker-dealers that sell the Policy. These incentives may be offered to
certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell certain minimums during
specified periods.

                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
   
     This 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 ("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 owning the Policy. IN ADDITION, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY TAX
TREATMENT -- FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL -- OF ANY POLICY OR OF ANY TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A POLICY.
    
 
   
OUR TAX STATUS
    
 
   
     We are taxed as a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate
Account are treated as part of our total operations. The operations of the
Separate Account do not materially affect our federal income tax liability
because we are allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of
the Separate Account is applied to increase Cash Value. We may incur state and
local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these taxes are
not significant. Accordingly, we do not charge or credit the Separate Account
for federal, state or local taxes. However, our federal income taxes are
increased because of the federal tax law's treatment of deferred acquisition
costs. Accordingly, we charge 1% of each premium payment to compensate us for
our higher corporate income tax liability.
    
 
   
     If there is a material change in law, charges or credits may be made to the
Separate Account for taxes or reserves for taxes. These charges or credits are
determined independently of the taxes we actually pay.
    
 
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
 
   
     TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code establishes a definition of life
insurance which, in part, places limitations on the amount of premiums that may
be paid and the Cash Value that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. We
believe the Policy meets this definition. We reserve the right to refund
premiums, increase the Death Benefit (which may result in higher Policy
charges), or take any other action we deem necessary to ensure the Policy's
compliance with the tax definition of life insurance. The Death Benefit is
generally excludable from the Beneficiary's gross income. Interest and other
income credited are not 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", and (2) we, rather than the
Policy owner, are considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
    
 
   
     DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code prescribes the manner in which the
Separate Account must 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, and the Policy owner is taxable on the income on
the contract (as defined in the tax law). We expect that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the prescribed diversification requirements.
    
 
   
     OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners of the assets of the Separate
Account. Income and gains from the Separate Account would then be includible in
the Policy owners' gross income. The IRS has stated that a variable contract
owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a separate account if the
owner possesses the ability to exercise investment control. As of the date of
this Prospectus, no investor control guidance is available.
    
 
   
     We reserve 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 following discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as a life
insurance contract for tax purposes.
    
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
Death Benefit is excludable from gross income under the Code. Certain transfers
of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death Benefit being
taxable. If the Death Benefit is paid under a Settlement Option, generally
payments will be prorated between the non-taxable Death Benefit and taxable
interest.
    
 
                                       22

     TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Any increase in Cash Value is
generally not taxable to the Policy owner unless amounts are received (or are
deemed to be received) from the Policy before the Insured's death. If the Policy
is surrendered, the excess of Cash Value over the "investment in the contract"
is includible in the owner's ordinary income. The "investment in the contract"
generally is premium payments minus non-taxable distributions. Distributions may
be taxable to the owner if the Policy is considered a "modified endowment
contract" ("MEC").
    
 
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal generally will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of premiums and then as taxable income. Thus, a withdrawal from a
non-MEC Policy generally is not taxable income unless the total withdrawals
exceed the investment in the contract.
    
 
   
     DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY YEARS. The Code limits the
amount of premium that may be paid and Cash Value that can accumulate relative
to the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required 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 during this
period), some or all of such amounts may be taxable. A reduction in benefits may
result from a decrease in 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 a MEC, a loan generally is
treated as indebtedness of the Policy owner. As a result, the loan is not
taxable income to the owner if the Policy remains in force. However, when the
interest rate credited to the Loan Account is the same as the interest rate
charged for the loan, 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 a surrender in determining whether any amounts
are includible in the Policy owner's income.
    
 
   
     Interest on an individual's Policy loans and interest on any loans of a
Policy owner that is a business entity are subject to possible disallowance
under complex rules. Consult a tax adviser on these issues.
    
 
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
 
   
     CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. A Policy is a MEC if (1) the Policy
is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the
Policy is issued after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid more rapidly than
permitted under the "7-Pay Test." A Policy fails this test (and thus is a MEC)
if the accumulated amount paid 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. Under the Code, a material change of the Policy generally
results 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.
    
 
   
     We monitor the Policies and attempt to notify Policy owners on a timely
basis if a Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. The owner may then request
that we take available steps to avoid treating the Policy as a MEC.
    
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals are treated first as withdrawals of income and
then as a recovery of premiums. Thus, withdrawals are includible in income if
Cash Value exceeds the investment in the contract. A Policy loan is treated as a
withdrawal for tax purposes.
    
 
   
     If the Policy owner assigns or pledges Cash Value under a MEC (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), such portion is a withdrawal for tax purposes.
The 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 MEC, a
Policy owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.
    
 
   
     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 of 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 Code), 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).
    
 
   
     AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from us or our affiliates within
the same calendar year are aggregated and treated as one contract in determining
the tax on withdrawals (including deemed withdrawals). The effects of
aggregation are not clear;
    
 
                                       23
<PAGE>   28
 
   
however, it could affect the taxable amount of a withdrawal (or a deemed
withdrawal) and could subject the withdrawal to the 10% penalty tax.
    
 
   
     OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Policy owner, exchanging the Policy,
changing from one Death Benefit option to another, and other Policy changes may
have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of the change. Federal
estate and state and local estate taxes, or inheritance taxes 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
 
   
     We withhold and send to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals unless the Policy owner notifies us in writing at the
time of withdrawal that he or she elects no withholding. The Policy owner is
always responsible for the payment of any taxes and early distribution penalties
that may be due on the amounts received. The Policy 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 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 the Policy.
    
 
                  SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
 
   
     We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep these assets segregated
and apart from our general funds. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of the shares of each portfolio of the Funds by each of the
Subaccounts.
    
 
                                VOTING INTERESTS
 
   
     We 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. Owners of all Policies participating in each Subaccount are entitled to
give us instructions with respect to that Subaccount. An owner's proportionate
interest in that Subaccount is measured by units. We determine the number of
shares for which a Policy owner may give voting instructions as of the record
date for the meeting. Owners will receive proxy material, reports, and other
materials relating to the appropriate portfolio of the Funds.
    
 
   
     We vote all Fund shares held in the Separate Account proportionately based
on Policy owners' instructions. If changes in law permit, we may vote a Fund's
shares in our own right.
    
 
   
     We 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, we may disregard
voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by a Policy owner in the
investment policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a Fund if we
reasonably disapprove of such changes. A proposed change would be disapproved
only if the change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory
authorities, or if we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on
our General Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may
result in overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event we disregard
voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons
for it in the next annual report to Policy owners.

     KILICO, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Illinois, is subject to regulation by the Illinois Department of Insurance. We
file an annual statement with the Director of Insurance on or before March 1st

conducts a full examination of our operations at least once every three years.
    
 
   
     In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the
other states where we operate. Generally, the insurance departments of other
states apply the laws of Illinois in determining our permissible investments.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
   
     All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and our right to issue the Policy under Illinois
Insurance Law, have been passed upon by Frank J. Julian, our Associate General
Counsel. Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson, Washington, D.C., has
advised us 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. We are not a party in
any litigation that is of material importance in relation to our total assets or
that relates to the Separate Account.
    
 
                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
   
                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
     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. 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.
 
   
     We have taken substantial steps over the last several years to ensure that
our systems will be compliant for the year 2000. These steps include the
replacement of older systems with new compliant systems. In 1996, we replaced
our investment accounting system. In 1997 we replaced our general ledger and
accounts payable system. We have 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 our systems in
compliance with the year 2000 amounted to $88 thousand in 1997 and we anticipate
that it will cost an additional $895 thousand to bring all remaining systems
into compliance. We have also taken steps which require that all other entities
with which we electronically interact, including suppliers and other financial
services institutions, attest to us in writing that their systems are year 2000
compliant.

     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
LLP, 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 periods 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 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 LLP covering KILICO's financial
statements referred to above 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.

                             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

                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
   
     The financial statements of the Separate Account relate to other life
insurance policies in addition to those offered by this Prospectus. Our included
financial statements should be considered only as bearing upon our ability to
meet our contractual obligations under the Policy. The investment experience of
the Separate Account does not affect our financial statements.
    
 
                             CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS
   
                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
   
     On September 12, 1997, Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO")
appointed the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent
accountants for the year ended December 31, 1997 to replace KPMG LLP effective
with such appointment. KILICO's Board of Directors approved the selection of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the new independent accountants. Management had
not consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 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 LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure or any
reportable events. KPMG 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 LLP 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.

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.

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.

(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

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:

     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.

                   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 other invested assets consisting primarily of venture capital investments
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
carried at cost.

(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

(3) INVESTED ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME (CONTINUED)
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

(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

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.
 
(6) INCOME TAXES
 
     Income tax expense (benefit) was as follows for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995:

     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.

</TABLE>
    
 
     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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
     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
of administrative, legal, marketing, investment management, information systems
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.

                   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.

                   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:

                    APPENDIX A [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
                         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, (.83%, 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 -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, on a current basis. On a guaranteed
basis, these rates of return would be -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, 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, we will furnish an illustration based on the proposed
Insured's age, sex and premium payment requested.

treatment of the Policy.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner has the following choices for allocating premium:
    
 
   
          - the Fixed Account, which accrues interest at our guaranteed rate,
     and
    
 
   
          - the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, which invest in portfolios
     of underlying mutual funds.
    
 
   
     The following portfolios of underlying mutual funds are currently available
under the Policy:
    
 
   
          - Investors Fund Series

                                    SUMMARY
 
   
     This section summarizes this Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus.
You should refer to the heading "Definitions" for the meaning of certain terms.
If states require variations, they appear in supplements attached to this
Prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy. Unless otherwise indicated, this
Prospectus describes an in force Policy with no loans.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner pays a premium for life insurance coverage on the Insured.
Generally, an 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. Cash Value is
not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy charges,
the Policy will lapse unless an additional premium payment or loan repayment is
made. The Policy will remain in force during the guarantee period if the
premiums paid, minus withdrawals and Debt, are at least equal to the guarantee
premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 8, "Charges and Deductions," page 14, and "Policy Benefits
and Rights," page 10.)
    
 
   
     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. The Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if excess
premiums are paid. For a Policy treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be included in the Policy owner's gross federal
income (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 20.)
    
 
   
     The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary. The Policy is not comparable to a systematic investment plan of a
mutual fund.
    
 
POLICY BENEFITS
 
   
     CASH VALUE. Cash Value reflects the amount and frequency of premium
payments, the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts, any values in
the Fixed Account and Loan Account, and Policy charges. The Policy owner bears
the entire investment risk on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. We do
not guarantee Separate Account Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash
Value," page 12.)
    
 
   
     The Policy owner may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the
Surrender Value. The Surrender Value is the Cash Value minus surrender charges
and outstanding Debt. Partial withdrawals are available subject to restrictions.
(See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
    
 
   
     POLICY LOANS. The Policy owner may borrow up to 90% of Cash Value minus
surrender charges. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. Interest is charged at
an effective annual rate of 4.50% in the first nine Policy Years and 3.00%
thereafter. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 20.)
    
 
   
     When a loan is made, a portion of Cash Value equal to the loan amount is
transferred from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account (pro rata, unless
the Policy owner requests otherwise) to the Loan Account. We credit 3% annual
interest to Cash Values held in the Loan Account. (See "Policy Benefits and
Rights--Policy Loans," page 13.)
    
 
   
     If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is treated as a
taxable distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 20.)
    
 
   
     DEATH BENEFITS. An in force Policy pays a death benefit payment upon the
death of the Insured. The Policy has 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. The death benefit is never less than the
multiple of Cash Value specified in Appendix B. The death benefit payable is
reduced by any Debt. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Death Benefits," page
10.)
    
 
PREMIUMS
 
   
     The amount and frequency of premium payments are flexible. The Policy owner
specifies a Planned Premium on the application. However, the owner is not
required to make the planned premiums, 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 affects whether the Policy
will be classified as a modified
    
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   84
 
endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium payment is $50. Other minimums
apply for other payment modes.
 
   
     Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover all Policy charges
for the Policy to remain in force. A Policy will remain in force during the
guarantee period if premiums paid, less withdrawals and Debt, equal or exceed
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. A Policy owner indicates in the
application 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.
    
 
   
     The initial premium, minus applicable charges, is allocated to the Scudder
VLIF Money Market Subaccount on the day after receipt. On the Trade Date, the
Separate Account Value in the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount is allocated
among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with the Policy
owner's instructions in the application. (See "The Policy -- Policy Issue," page
8.)
    
 
   
     TRANSFERS. The Policy owner may transfer Separate Account Value among the
Subaccount once every fifteen days. One annual transfer is permitted between the
Fixed Account and the Subaccounts. (See "Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 8.)

CHARGES
 
   
     We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. In addition, we deduct a charge of 1%
of each premium payment to compensate us for corporate income tax liability.
(See Charges and Deductions--Deductions from Premiums, page 14.) We currently do
not deduct any other charges from premium or the Separate Account for federal,
state or other taxes. Should we determine that these taxes apply, we may make
deductions from the Separate Account to pay those taxes. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 20.)
    
 
   
     We will deduct a charge from Cash Value in each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Processing Date for the cost of
life insurance coverage. In addition, we deduct an asset charge, at an annual
rate of .90%, from each Subaccount on a daily basis for our assumption of
mortality and expense risks. (See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance
Charge and Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," pages 14 and 15, respectively.)
    
 
   
     On each Monthly Processing Date, we deduct from Cash Value a $5 per month
administrative expense charge. (See "Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Administrative Charge," page 15.)
    
 
   
     We deduct a surrender charge if the Policy is surrendered or the Cash Value
is applied under a Settlement Option prior to the 15th Policy Year (or the 15th
Policy Year following an increase in Specified Amount). (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
    
 
   
     The Policy owner indirectly bears the annual Fund operating expenses of the
Portfolios in which the Subaccounts invest. These may include management fees,
12b-1 fees and other expenses. (See "Charges and Deductions--Charges Against the
Funds," page 16.)
    
 
   
TAX TREATMENT UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW
    
 
   
     Under existing tax law, any increase in Cash Value is generally not taxable
until a distribution occurs through a withdrawal or surrender. Generally,
distributions are not included in income until the amount of the distributions
exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy. If the Policy is a modified endowment
contract, a loan is also treated as a distribution. Generally, distributions
from a modified endowment contract (including loans) are included in income to
the extent the Cash Value exceeds premiums paid. A change of Owners, an
assignment, a loan or a surrender of the Policy may have tax consequences.
    
 
   
     Death Benefits payable under the Policy are generally excludable from the
gross income of the Beneficiary. As a result, the Beneficiary would not be
subject to income tax on the Death Benefit. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page
20.)
    
 
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
 
   
     The Policy owner may examine a Policy and return it for a refund during the
Free-Look Period. The length of the Free-Look Period depends on the state where
the Policy is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date the
owner receives the Policy. (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 Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits. These illustrations are based on Policy charges and hypothetical
assumed rates of return for the Separate Account. The Separate Account's
investment experience will differ, and actual Policy values will be higher or
lower than those illustrated.
    
 
                        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
    
 
                                        4

wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Holding Company of America ("ZHCA"), which is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich"). Zurich is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services ("ZFS"). ZFS was formed in
the September, 1998 merger of the Zurich Group with the financial services
business of B.A.T. Industries. ZFS is owned by Zurich Allied A.G. and Allied
Zurich p.l.c. fifty-seven percent and forty-three percent, respectively. 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
as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate Account
receives and invests 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 our
general business. The income, capital gains or capital losses of the Separate
Account are credited to or charged against Separate Account assets, without
regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses of any other separate
account or any other business we conduct. The Policy benefits are our
obligations.
    
 
   
     The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). However, the Commission does not supervise
the management, investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or
KILICO.
    
 
   
     The Policy currently offers twelve Subaccounts. 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, Janus
Aspen Series, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, Templeton Variable Products Series
Fund and Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund. Each is a series type mutual
fund registered as an open-end management investment company. The Commission
does not supervise their management, investment practices or policies. The Funds
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 we do not foresee disadvantages to variable life insurance owners,
variable annuity owners or qualified retirement plans. The Funds have an
obligation to monitor events for material conflicts between owners and determine
what action, if any, should be taken. In addition, if we believe that a Fund's
response to any of those events or conflicts insufficiently protects owners, we
will take appropriate action on our own.
    
 
   
     The Separate Account invests in the 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.

CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
 
   
     We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the shares held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the portfolios
and to substitute shares of another portfolio or of another investment company,
if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in
our judgment further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. We may also eliminate or
combine one or more subaccounts, transfer assets, or substitute one subaccount
for another subaccount, if, in our discretion, marketing, tax or investment
conditions warrant. We will not substitute any shares attributable to a Policy
owner's interest in a Subaccount without notice to the owner and the
Commission's prior approval, if required. 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 Policy owners.
    
 
   
     We also reserve 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. New subaccounts may be established
when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
New subaccounts may be made available to existing owners as we determine.
    
 
   
     If we deem it 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 our other
separate accounts. To the extent permitted by law, we may also transfer assets
of the Separate Account to another separate account, or to the General Account.
    
 
                              FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
 
   
     AMOUNTS ALLOCATED OR TRANSFERRED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT ARE PART OF OUR
GENERAL ACCOUNT, SUPPORTING INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE
FIXED ACCOUNT ARE NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT"),
AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED
ACCOUNT NOR ANY FIXED ACCOUNT INTERESTS GENERALLY ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE 1933 OR 1940 ACTS. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE COMMISSION
HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE FIXED
ACCOUNT. STATEMENTS REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE
GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
    
 
   
     Under the Fixed Account Option, we pay a fixed interest rate for stated
periods. This Prospectus describes only the aspects of the Policy involving the
Separate Account, unless we refer to fixed accumulation and settlement options.
    
 
   
     We guarantee the interest rate credited to the Fixed Account will be at
least 3% annually. At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of 3%. We
reserve the right to change the rate of excess interest credited. We also
reserve the right to declare different rates of excess interest depending on
when amounts are allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. As a result,
amounts at any designated time may be credited with a different rate of excess
interest than the rate previously credited to such amounts and to amounts
allocated or transferred at any other designated time.

                                   THE POLICY
 
POLICY ISSUE
 
   
     Before we issue a Policy, we must receive a completed application and a
full initial premium at our home office. We ordinarily issue a Policy only for
Insureds Age 1 through 75 who supply satisfactory evidence of insurability.
Acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting requirements. If we
decline an application, we will refund the Cash Value in the Scudder VLIF Money
Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and deductions
against premiums.
    
 
   
     After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to its owner,
insurance coverage begins as of the Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
    
 
PREMIUMS
 
   
     We must receive premiums at our home office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks must be made payable to KILICO.
    
 
   
     PLANNED PREMIUMS. A Policy owner specifies a Planned Premium payment on the
application that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified
period of time. However, the owner is not required to pay Planned Premiums.
    
 
   
     The minimum monthly premium is $50. Other 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. Accordingly,
variations from Planned Premiums may cause the Policy to become a modified
endowment contract, and therefore subject to different tax treatment from
conventional life insurance contracts for certain pre-death distributions (See
"Federal Tax Matters".)
    
 
   
     Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains 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 ends on the third Policy
anniversary. During the guarantee period, the Policy remains in force and no
grace period will begin, provided that the total premiums received, minus any
withdrawals and any Debt, equals or exceeds the monthly guarantee premium times
the number of months since the Policy Date, including the current month.
    
 
   
     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.") We may reject or
limit any premium payment below the current minimum premium amount, or that
would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium. We may
return all or a portion of a premium payment will be rejected and returned to
the Policy owner if it would disqualify the Policy as life insurance under the
Internal Revenue Code.
    
 
   
     Certain charges are deducted from each premium payment. (See "Charges and
Deductions.") The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, is
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account
Value."
    
 
   
     POLICY DATE. The Policy Date is used to determine Policy Years and Monthly
Processing Dates. The Policy Date is the date that insurance coverage takes
effect. If this date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the Policy Date will
be the first of the following month.
    
 
   
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
    
 
   
     ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS.  The initial net premium is allocated to the
Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value remains 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 is
allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account as specified in the
application. Additional premiums received will be allocated as specified in the
application or in later written instructions received from the Policy owner. 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.
    
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   90
 
   
     The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. The Policy 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. These transfers are limited to
one transfer every fifteen days. All transfers made during a business day are
treated as one transfer.
    
 
   
     Fixed Account Value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of 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 us, or by
telephone authorization under forms we authorize. (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 Policy owner's
remaining interest in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are
to be transferred, would be less than $500 after the transfer. We may waive
these minimums for reallocations under established third party asset allocation
programs. Transfers are based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined
following our receipt of valid, complete transfer instructions. We may suspend,
modify or terminate the transfer provision. We reserve the right to charge up to
$25 for each transfer. We disclaim all liability if we follow in good faith
instructions given in accordance with our procedures, including requests for
personal identifying information, that are designed to limit unauthorized use of
the privilege. Therefore, a Policy owner bears the 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
authorized asset allocation program. 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 available for
transfer under third party authorizations.
    
 
   
     AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. A Policy owner may elect to have transfers
made automatically among the Subaccounts 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
are not subject to the $500 minimum transfer limitation. An election to
participate in the automatic asset reallocation program must be in writing on
our form and returned to our home office.
    
 
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
 
   
     LAPSE. The Policy will lapse when the Surrender Value is insufficient to
cover the current monthly deductions and a grace period expires without a
sufficient payment. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
    
 
   
     The grace period is 61 days. The grace period begins when we send notice
that the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions. If we
do not receive a premium payment or loan repayment during the grace period
sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months, the Policy will 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 current allocation instructions. Amounts over and above the
amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be paid as additional premiums, to the
extent permissible. (See "The Policy--Premiums.")
    
 
   
     We will not accept any payment causing the total premium payment to exceed
the maximum payment permitted for life insurance under the guideline premium
limits. However, the Policy owner may voluntarily repay a portion of Debt to
avoid lapse. The owner may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     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 us;
    
 
     (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 which existed at the date of
         termination of coverage.
    
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   91
 
   
     The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy is the Monthly Processing
Date that coincides with or next follows the date we approve the application for
reinstatement. Suicide and incontestability provisions 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 equal the death benefit minus any Debt and
minus any monthly deductions due during the grace period.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner selects in the application one of two death benefit options:
Option A or Option B. 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 Policy owner chooses the Specified Amount on the application. The
Specified Amount is stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified
Amount is $50,000.
    
 
   
     OPTION A. Under Option A, the death benefit equals 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 Insured's age. The death benefit
percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for older
Insureds. In setting the death benefit percentages, we seek to ensure that the
Policy will qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment. 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 equals 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. The death benefit under Option B always varies 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 Amount, but different
Cash Values and assume that the Insured is Age 35 at the time of death and that
there is no outstanding Debt.

Specified Amount..........................    $100,000       $100,000         $100,000
Cash Value on Date of Death...............    $ 25,000       $ 50,000         $ 75,000
Death Benefit Percentage..................         250%           250%             250%
Death Benefit Under Option A..............    $100,000       $125,000         $187,500
Death Benefit Under Option B..............    $125,000       $150,000         $187,500
</TABLE>
 
   
     Under Option A, the death benefit for Policy I equals $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 equals the higher value. Under Option B,
the death benefit for Policy I equals $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 equals the higher value.
    
 
   
     All calculations of death benefit are 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 the Policy's settlements options.
    
 
   
     Death Benefits ordinarily are paid within seven days after we receive all
required documentation. Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See
"General Provisions--Postponement of Payments")

<PAGE>   92
 
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
 
   
     After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may change the death benefit
option from Option A to Option B, or from Option B to Option A. Changes in the
death benefit option may be made, in writing once per Policy Year. The effective
date of the change is the next Monthly Processing Date after we accept the
change.
    
 
   
     A change in the death benefit from Option A to Option B reduces the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option B at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option A immediately prior to the change. The change in option
affects the determination of the death benefit since Cash Value will then be
added to the new Specified Amount, and the death benefit then varies with Cash
Value.
    
 
   
     A change in the death benefit from Option B to Option A increases the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option A at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option B immediately prior to the change. However, the change in
option affects the determination of the death benefit since the Cash Value is
not added to the Specified Amount in determining the death benefit. The death
benefit then equals 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, which varies with the net amount at risk. Generally, net
amount at risk is the amount by which the death benefit exceeds Cash Value. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") If the death benefit does
not equal Cash Value times a death benefit percentage under either Options A or
B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease the future net
amount at risk. This would decrease the future cost of insurance charges.
Changing from Option A to Option B generally results in a net amount at risk
that remains level. Such a change, however, results in an increase in the cost
of insurance charges over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase with
the Insured's Age.
    
 
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
 
   
     After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may increase or decrease the
Specified Amount, subject to our approval. A change in Specified Amount may only
be made once per Policy Year. The minimum change in Specified Amount is $25,000.
Increases are not allowed after the Insured attains age 75. Increasing the
Specified Amount could increase the death benefit. Decreasing the Specified
Amount could decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death
benefit will depend, among other things, upon the selected death benefit option
and the degree to which the death benefit exceeds the Specified Amount prior to
the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of
death benefit and Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase
the net amount at risk, thereby increasing a Policy owner's cost of insurance
charge and the guarantee premium amount. However, an increase in Specified
Amount does not extend the guarantee period. Conversely, a decrease in Specified
Amount may decrease the net amount at risk, thereby decreasing an owner's cost
of insurance charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not decrease the
guarantee premium. Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     INCREASES. We require additional evidence of insurability for an increase
in Specified Amount.
    
 
   
     DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount is first applied to the most
recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A decrease
is not permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the lesser of the
initial Specified Amount or $50,000. If after a decrease in the Specified
Amount, total premiums paid exceed the tax law's premium limitations, we will
refund the amount exceeding the premium limitations. Some or all of the amount
refunded may be subject to tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     We reserve the right to deny a requested decrease in Specified Amount. The
reasons for denial may include:
    
 
   
          - our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
     the tax guideline premium limitations, resulting in the Policy's
     termination or
    
 
   
          - our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
     the tax guideline premium limitations because the payments from Cash Value
     required to effect the decrease exceed Surrender Value.
    
 
   
     Requests for change in Specified Amount must be made in writing. The
requested change becomes effective on the Monthly Processing Date on or next
following our acceptance of the request. If the Policy owner is not the Insured,
we require the Insured's consent.

<PAGE>   93
 
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
 
   
     If the Insured is alive on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, we pay the Policy owner the Surrender Value of the
Policy. On the Maturity Date, the Policy terminates and we have no further
obligations under the Policy.
    
 
CASH VALUE
 
   
     Cash Value reflects
    
 
   
          - 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
    
 
   
          - Policy charges
    
 
   
A Policy owner may make partial withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the
Policy and receive the Policy's Surrender Value. (See "Surrender Privilege.")
Cash Value is not guaranteed.
    
 
   
     CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. Cash Value is the total of
    
 
   
          - Separate Account Value
    
 
   
          - Fixed Account Value
    
 
   
          - Loan Account value
    
 
   
     Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It is first calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial premium, minus
the monthly deductions for the first Policy Month. (See "Charges and
Deductions.")
    
 
   
     On any Valuation Date, Separate Account Value in any Subaccount equals:
    
 
   
          (1) Separate Account Value in the Subaccount at the end of the
     preceding Valuation Period times the Investment Experience Factor (defined
     below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
    
 
   
          (2) Any net premiums received and allocated to the Subaccount during
     the current Valuation Period; plus
    
 
   
          (3) All amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current
     Valuation Period (from a Subaccount, the Fixed Account or the Loan Account
     for Policy loan repayment (see "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
     Loans,")); 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 for 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 our
declared annual rate. The annual rate will never be less than 3%.
    
 
   
     ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. Each Subaccount has its own Accumulation Unit
Value. When net premiums or other amounts are allocated to a Subaccount, units
are purchased based on the Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value 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.
    
 
                                       12

     For each Subaccount, 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 times the Accumulation Unit Value
for the preceding Valuation 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 due to 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 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 investments held in the Subaccount, 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 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 preceding 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 Policy owner may borrow all or part of the
Policy's maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 90% of Cash Value minus
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. The loan ordinarily is paid within 7 days after we receive a written loan
request, although payments may be postponed under certain circumstances. (See
"Postponement of Payments," and "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     On the date a loan is made, the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account. Unless the Policy owner
directs otherwise, the loan amount is deducted from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account in proportion to the values that each bears to the total of
Separate Account Value and Fixed Account Value at the end of the Valuation
Period during which the request is received.
    
 
   
     Loan interest is charged at an effective annual rate of 4.5% in the first
nine Policy Years and 3.00% thereafter. Interest not paid when due is added to
the loan amount. Unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of the next Policy Date
anniversary or when coverage ceases. The same interest rates apply to unpaid
interest. When interest is added to the loan amount, we transfer an equal amount
from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account.
    
 
   
     Cash Value in the Loan Account earns 3.00% annual interest. Such interest
is allocated to the Loan Account.
    
 
   
     LOAN REPAYMENT.  All or any portion of a loan may be repaid at any time. At
the time of repayment, the Loan Account is reduced by the repayment amount,
adjusted for the difference between interest charged and interest earned. The
net repayment amount is allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account,
according to the Policy owner's current allocation instructions, at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the repayment is received. These transfers are
not limited by the 15 day transfer restriction.
    
 
   
     EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay Policy charges. If Surrender Value on the
day preceding a Monthly Processing Date is less than the next monthly deductions
we will notify the Policy owner. (See "General Provisions--Written Notices and
Requests.") The Policy will lapse and terminate without value, unless we receive
a sufficient payment within 61 days of the date notice is sent. (See "The
Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
    
 
   
     EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan affects Cash Value. The
collateral for the outstanding loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does
not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or earn current interest in
the Fixed Account. If the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the
amount that would
    
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   95
 
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 a modified endowment contract, a loan is
treated as a distribution and is includible in income to the extent that Cash
Value exceeds premiums paid. Therefore, a loan may result in federal income tax
and a 10% tax penalty may also apply. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
 
   
     If the Insured is alive, the Policy owner may surrender the Policy for its
Surrender Value. To surrender the Policy, the owner must return the Policy to
us, along with a written request. Surrender Value equals Cash Value, minus
Surrender Charges and Debt. (See "Surrender Charge," below.)
    
 
   
     PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may
withdraw a portion of Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is
$500 and when a Surrender Charge is assessable, the maximum amount is 10% of the
Surrender Value. A $25 withdrawal charge is imposed for each withdrawal. (See
"Charges and Deductions.") A withdrawal decreases Cash Value by the amount of
the withdrawal and, if Death Benefit Option A is in effect, reduces Specified
Amount by the amount of the withdrawal.
    
 
FREE-LOOK PERIOD AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 
   
     During the Free-Look Period, the Policy owner may examine the Policy and
return it for a refund. The time period depends on where the Policy is issued;
however, it will 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 is the sum of Cash Value in the
Kemper Money Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and
deductions from Premium. An owner seeking a refund should return the Policy to
us or to the agent who sold the Policy.
    
 
   
     At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, the Policy
owner may exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life
insurance policy then currently offered by KILICO or an affiliate. Evidence of
insurability is not 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 must be repaid and the
Policy must be surrendered before the exchange is made. The new policy will have
the same Policy Date and issue age as the exchanged Policy.
    
 
                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
 
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
 
   
     We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. This charge reimburses us for paying
state premium taxes. We expect 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, is deducted to compensate us for higher corporate income taxes
under the current Internal Revenue Code.
    
 
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
 
   
     We deduct a cost of insurance charge monthly from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account. This charge covers our anticipated mortality costs. The cost of
insurance charge is deducted monthly in advance and is allocated pro rata among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.
    
 
   
     We deduct the cost of insurance by cancelling units on the Policy Date and
on each Monthly Processing Date thereafter. If the Monthly Processing Date falls
on a day other than a Valuation Date, the charge is determined on the next
Valuation Date. The cost of insurance charge is determined by multiplying the
cost of insurance rate (see below) by the "net amount at risk" for each Policy
month. The net amount at risk equals 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. We determine the
monthly cost of insurance rates based on our expectations as to future mortality
experience. Any change in the schedule of rates applies 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. We currently place 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
 
   
     We deduct a daily charge, at an annual rate of 0.90%, from the Subaccounts
for mortality and expense risks we assume.
    
 
   
     The mortality and expense risk we assume is that our estimates of longevity
and of the expenses incurred over the life of the Policy will not be correct.
    
 
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
 
   
     We deduct a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse us for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to Policy owners. This charge is designed only to
reimburse us for actual administrative expenses. Currently, this charge is $5
per month.
    
 
OTHER CHARGES
 
   
     SURRENDER CHARGE. We deduct a Surrender Charge from Cash Value if the
Policy is surrendered or Cash Value is applied under a Settlement Option during
the first 14 Policy Years. A Surrender Charge is also assessed during the first
14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge
is:
    
 
   
     (a) an administrative component (issue charge); plus
    
 
   
     (b) a sales component (deferred sales charge); times
    
 
   
     (c) the Surrender Charge percentage.
    
 
   
     During the 14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount, an
additional Surrender Charge applies. The additional charge is 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 Surrender Charge is determined based upon the date we receive 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 covers the administrative expenses associated with underwriting
and issuing a Policy. These expenses include 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 plus (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:

     The deferred sales charge reimburses us for some of the expenses of
distributing the Policies.
    
 
   
     (c) Surrender Charge Percentage. For issue ages up to age 66, the Surrender
Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-5 and declines 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 declines by 10%

     WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We impose a charge of $25 for each partial withdrawal.
This charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses related to the
withdrawal.
    
 
   
     TRANSFER CHARGE.  We reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. The transfer charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses
related to the transfer.
    
 
   
     TAXES.  Currently, no charges are made against the Separate Account for
federal, state or other taxes attributable to the Separate Account. We may,
however, in the future impose charges for income taxes or other taxes
attributable to the Separate Account or the Policy. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
    
 
   
     CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS. Under investment advisory agreements with each
Fund, the investment manager and/or adviser provides investment advisory and/or
management services for the portfolios. The Funds are responsible for advisory
fees and various other expenses. Investment advisory fees and expenses differ
with respect to each of the portfolios of the Funds. (See "The Funds.")
    
 
   
     Each portfolio incurs annual fund operating expenses consisting of
management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses. [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
[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

<PAGE>   98
 
   
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.
    
 
   
     The Fund(s) may pay 12b-1 fees to us or our affiliates for support services
relating to Fund shares. We may receive compensation from the investment
advisers for services related to the Funds. This compensation will be consistent
with the services rendered or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement.
For more information concerning investment advisory fees and other charges
against the portfolios, see the Funds' prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information available upon request.
    
 
   
     SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. A charge of $50 is imposed to enter into a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. In addition, a $25 charge is imposed each time a
change is made to the plan. These charges reimburse us for administrative
expenses of this plan. (See "Systematic Withdrawal Plan.")
    
 
   
     REDUCTION OF CHARGES.  We 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 our
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 unfairly
discriminate against any person, including the affected Policy owners and owners
of all other policies funded by the Separate Account.
    
 
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
 
   
     The Policy owner, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election
by the owner is in effect, may elect to have the Death Benefit or Surrender
Value 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. The payee elects monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The
option selected must result in a payment that at least equals our required
minimum in effect when the option is chosen. If at any time the payments are
less than the minimum, we may increase the period between payments to quarterly,
semi-annual or annual or make the payment in one lump sum.
    
 
   
     Benefit payments are based on Surrender Value calculated on the day
preceding the date the first benefit payment is due. The payment will be based
on the Settlement Option elected in accordance with the appropriate settlement
option table.
    
 
   
     OPTION 1--INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD. We pay income for the period and
payment mode elected. The period elected must at least 5 years, but not more
than 30 years.
    
 
   
     OPTION 2--LIFE INCOME. We pay 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
    
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   99
 
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. We pay monthly income
for the guaranteed period elected and thereafter for the remaining lifetime of
the payee. The available guaranteed periods are 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
    
 
   
     OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We pay the full monthly income while
both payees are living. Upon the death of either payee, the income continues
during the lifetime of the surviving payee. The surviving payee's income is
based on the percentage designated (50%, 66 2/3%, 75% or 100%) at the time this
option is elected. Payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the
death of the surviving payee without regard to the number or total amount of
payments received.
    
 
   
     Our 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 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 us by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as we determine 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 us and the Policy 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
adjusted to reflect the correct sex and age.
    
 
INCONTESTABILITY
 
   
     We 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.
    
 
SUICIDE
 
   
     Suicide by the Insured, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date (or within two years following an increase in Specified Amount) is a
risk not assumed under the Policy. Our 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.
    
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   100
 
ASSIGNMENT
 
   
     No Policy assignment is binding on us until we receive it. We assume no
responsibility for the validity of the assignment. Any claim under an assignment
is subject to proof of the extent of the assignee's interest. If the Policy is
assigned, the rights of the Policy owner and Beneficiary are subject to the
rights of the assignee of record.
    
 
NONPARTICIPATING
 
   
     The Policy does not pay dividends. It does not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
    
 
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
 
   
     The Policy owner may designate a new owner while the Insured is alive.
    
 
   
     The Policy owner designates primary and secondary Beneficiaries in the
application. KILICO relies upon the latest filed change of beneficiary. If the
Insured dies, and no designated Beneficiary is alive at that time, we will pay
the Insured's estate. The interest of any Beneficiary may be subject to that of
an assignee.
    
 
   
     In order to change the Policy owner or a designated Beneficiary, the owner
must sign our form. The change is effective when the owner signs the form, but
we are not liable for payments made or actions taken before we receive the
signed form.
    
 
RECORDS AND REPORTS
 
   
     We keep the Separate Account records. We send Policy owners, at their last
known address of record, an annual report showing:
    
 
   
<TABLE>
        <S>                                      <C>
        - Death Benefit                          - partial withdrawals
        - Accumulation Unit Value                - transfers
        - Cash Value                             - Policy loans and repayments
        - Surrender Value                        - Policy charges
        - additional premium payments
</TABLE>
    
 
   
     Confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions are also sent to
Policy owners. We also send annual and semi-annual Fund reports.
    
 
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
 
   
     Send written notices or requests to our home office at 1 Kemper Drive, Long
Grove, Illinois 60049. Please include the Policy number and the Insured's full
name. We send notices to a Policy owner's address shown in the application
unless an address change is filed with us.
    
 
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
 
   
     The following optional insurance benefits are available by Rider at the
time of application:
    
 
   
          - waiver of monthly deductions due to Insured's total disability
    
 
   
          - term insurance on the Insured's dependent children
    
 
   
          - acceleration of a portion of the death benefit due to Insured's
     terminal illness
    
 
   
          - term insurance on additional insureds
    
 
   
     The cost of these benefits is added to the monthly deduction. These
benefits and restrictions are described in the Rider. We provide samples of
these provisions upon written request.
    
 
                             DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
 
   
     Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, Cash Value in the Fixed Account,
the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount or the Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount ("DCA Subaccount") is automatically transferred monthly to other
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. A Policy owner may enroll any time by
completing our Dollar Cost Averaging form. Transfers are made on the 10th day of
the month. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business days before
the transfer date.
    
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   101
 
   
     Transfers commence on the first transfer date following the Trade Date. The
minimum transfer amount is $500 per Subaccount or Fixed Account. In order to
enroll, Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount must be at least $10,000. Dollar Cost
Averaging automatically ends if Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount is less than
the amount designated to be transferred. Cash Value remaining in the DCA
Subaccount will be transferred.
    
 
   
     Dollar Cost Averaging ends if:
    
 
   
          - the number of designated monthly transfers has been completed
    
 
   
          - Cash Value attributable to the DCA Subaccount is insufficient to
     complete the next transfer
    
 
   
          - we receive the Policy owner's written termination at least 5
     business days before the next transfer date
    
 
   
          - the Policy is surrendered.
    
 
   
     We will give 30 days notice if we amend the Dollar Cost Averaging program.
We may terminate the program at any time.
    
 
   
     A Policy owner may change Dollar Cost Averaging instructions by completing
our enrollment form. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business
days (10 business days for Fixed Account transfers), before the next transfer
date.
    
 
   
     To participate in Dollar Cost Averaging, a Policy owner may have Cash Value
in the Fixed Account and no more than 8 non-DCA Subaccounts.
    
 
                           SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
 
   
     We offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") allowing Policy owners to
preauthorize periodic withdrawals after the first Policy Year. Policy owners
instruct us to withdraw selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or up to 2
Subaccounts, on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The Policy
owner's periodic payment must be at least $500. These periodic payments are
partial withdrawals and are subject to surrender charges. (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privileges," page 14.) The $25 withdrawal charge does not
apply. However, we charge $50 to establish an SWP and a $25 charge each time a
change is made. These charges reimburse us for SWP administrative expenses.
Periodic payments may be subject to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.") An SWP application and additional information may
be obtained from the Policy owner's representative or us. We will give 30 days
notice if we amend the SWP. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Policy
owner or us.
    
 
                            DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
 
   
     The Policy is sold by licensed insurance representatives who represent us
and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that 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"), our
affiliate. IBS is engaged in the sale and distribution of other variable life
policies and annuities.
    
 
   
     The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives is
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, we may pay
additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to
licensed broker-dealers that sell the Policy. These incentives may be offered to
certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell certain minimums during
specified periods.
    
 
                              FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
   
     This 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
    
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   102
 
   
to individual circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended ("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 owning the Policy. IN ADDITION, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY TAX
TREATMENT -- FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL -- OF ANY POLICY OR OF ANY TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A POLICY.
    
 
   
OUR TAX STATUS
    
 
   
     We are taxed as a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate
Account are treated as part of our total operations. The operations of the
Separate Account do not materially affect our federal income tax liability
because we are allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of
the Separate Account is applied to increase Cash Value. We may incur state and
local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these taxes are
not significant. Accordingly, we do not charge or credit the Separate Account
for federal, state or local taxes. However, our federal income taxes are
increased because of the federal tax law's treatment of deferred acquisition
costs. Accordingly, we charge 1% of each premium payment to compensate us for
our higher corporate income tax liability.
    
 
   
     If there is a material change in law, charges or credits may be made to the
Separate Account for taxes or reserves for taxes. These charges or credits are
determined independently of the taxes we actually pay.
    
 
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
 
   
     TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code establishes a definition of life
insurance which, in part, places limitations on the amount of premiums that may
be paid and the Cash Value that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. We
believe the Policy meets this definition. We reserve the right to refund
premiums, increase the Death Benefit (which may result in higher Policy
charges), or take any other action we deem necessary to ensure the Policy's
compliance with the tax definition of life insurance. The Death Benefit is
generally excludable from the Beneficiary's gross income. Interest and other
income credited are not 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", and (2) we, rather than the
Policy owner, are considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
    
 
   
     DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code prescribes the manner in which the
Separate Account must 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, and the Policy owner is taxable on the income on
the contract (as defined in the tax law). We expect that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the prescribed diversification requirements.
    
 
   
     OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners of the assets of the Separate
Account. Income and gains from the Separate Account would then be includible in
the Policy owners' gross income. The IRS has stated that a variable contract
owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a separate account if the
owner possesses the ability to exercise investment control. As of the date of
this Prospectus, no investor control guidance is available.
    
 
   
     We reserve 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 following discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as a life
insurance contract for tax purposes.
    
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
Death Benefit is excludable from gross income under the Code. Certain transfers
of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death Benefit being
taxable. If the Death Benefit is paid under a Settlement Option, generally
payments will be prorated between the non-taxable Death Benefit and taxable
interest.
    
 
   
     TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Any increase in Cash Value is
generally not taxable to the Policy owner unless amounts are received (or are
deemed to be received) from the Policy before the Insured's death. If the Policy
is surrendered, the excess of Cash Value over the "investment in the contract"
is includible in the owner's income. The "investment in the contract" generally
is premium payments minus non-taxable distributions. Distributions may be
taxable to the owner if the Policy is considered a "modified endowment contract"
("MEC").
    
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   103
 
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal generally will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of premiums and then as taxable income. Thus, a withdrawal from a
non-MEC Policy generally is not taxable income unless the total withdrawals
exceed the investment in the contract.
    
 
   
     DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY YEARS. The Code limits the
amount of premium that may be paid and Cash Value that can accumulate relative
to the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required 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 during this
period), some or all of such amounts may be taxable. A reduction in benefits may
result from a decrease in 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 a MEC, a loan generally is
treated as indebtedness of the Policy owner. As a result, the loan is not
taxable income to the owner if the Policy remains in force. However, when the
interest rate credited to the Loan Account is the same as the interest rate
charged for the loan, 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 a surrender in determining whether any amounts
are includible in the Policy owner's income.
    
 
   
     Interest on an individual's Policy loans and interest on any loans of a
Policy owner that is a business entity are subject to possible disallowance
under complex rules. Consult a tax adviser on these issues.
    
 
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
 
   
     CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. A Policy is a MEC if (1) the Policy
is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the
Policy is issued after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid more rapidly than
permitted under the "7-Pay Test." A Policy fails this test (and thus is a MEC)
if the accumulated amount paid 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. Under the Code, a material change of the Policy generally
results 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.
    
 
   
     We monitor the Policies and attempt to notify Policy owners on a timely
basis if a Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. The owner may then request
that we take available steps to avoid treating the Policy as a MEC.
    
 
   
     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals are treated first as withdrawals of income and
then as a recovery of premiums. Thus, withdrawals are includible in income if
Cash Value exceeds the investment in the contract. A Policy loan is treated as a
withdrawal for tax purposes.
    
 
   
     If the Policy owner assigns or pledges Cash Value under a MEC (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), such portion is a withdrawal for tax purposes.
The 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 MEC, a
Policy owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.
    
 
   
     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 of 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 Code), 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).
    
 
   
     AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from us or our affiliates within
the same calendar year are aggregated and treated as one contract in determining
the tax on withdrawals (including deemed withdrawals). The effects of
aggregation are not clear; however, it could affect the taxable amount of a
withdrawal (or a deemed withdrawal) and could subject the withdrawal to the 10%
penalty tax.
    
 
   
     OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Policy owner, exchanging the Policy,
changing from one Death Benefit option to another, and other Policy changes may
have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of the change. Federal
estate and state and local estate taxes or inheritance taxes and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Policy owner or Beneficiary.
    
 
                                       22
<PAGE>   104
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
   
     We withhold and send to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals unless the Policy owner notifies us in writing at the
time of withdrawal that he or she elects no withholding. The Policy owner is
always responsible for the payment of any taxes and early distribution penalties
that may be due on the amounts received. The Policy 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 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 the Policy.
    
 
                  SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
 
   
     We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep these assets segregated
and apart from our general funds. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of the shares of each portfolio of the Funds by each of the
Subaccounts.
    
 
                                VOTING INTERESTS
 
   
     We vote a Fund's shares held in the Separate Account we keep these 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. Owners of all Policies participating in
each Subaccount are entitled to give us instructions with respect to that
Subaccount. An owner's proportionate interest in that Subaccount is measured by
units. We determine the number of shares for which a Policy owner may give
voting instructions as of the record date for the meeting. Owners will receive
proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate
portfolio of the Funds.
    
 
   
     We vote all Fund shares held in the Separate Account proportionately based
on Policy owners' instructions. If changes in law permit, we may vote a Fund's
shares in our own right.
    
 
   
     We 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, we may disregard
voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by a Policy owner in the
investment policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a Fund if we
reasonably disapprove of such changes. A proposed change would be disapproved
only if the change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory
authorities, or if we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on
our General Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may
result in overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event we disregard
voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons
for it in the next annual report to Policy 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. We
file an annual statement with the Director of Insurance on or before March 1st
of each year covering our operations and reporting on our financial condition 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. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners
conducts a full examination of our operations at least once every three years.
    
 
   
     In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the
other states where we operate. Generally, the insurance departments of other
states apply the laws of Illinois in determining our permissible investments.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
   
     All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and our right to issue the Policy under Illinois
Insurance Law, have been passed upon by Frank J. Julian, our Associate General
Counsel. Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson, Washington, D.C., has
advised us 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. We are not a party in
any litigation that is of material importance in relation to our total assets or
that relates to the Separate Account.
    
 
                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
   
                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
     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. 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.
 
   
     We have taken substantial steps over the last several years to ensure that
our systems will be compliant for the year 2000. These steps include the
replacement of older systems with new compliant systems. In 1996, we replaced
our investment accounting system. In 1997 we replaced our general ledger and
accounts payable system. We have 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 our systems in
compliance with the year 2000 amounted to $88 thousand in 1997 and we anticipate
that it will cost an additional $895 thousand to bring all remaining systems
into compliance. We have also taken steps which require that all other entities
with which we electronically interact, including suppliers and other financial
services institutions, attest to us in writing that their systems are year 2000
compliant.

     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
LLP, 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 periods 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 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 LLP covering KILICO's financial
statements referred to above 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 LLP, independent certified public
accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.

                             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
   
                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
   
     The financial statements of the Separate Account relate to other life
insurance policies in addition to 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. Our included financial statements should be
considered only as bearing upon our ability to meet our contractual obligations
under the Policy. In addition to audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1997, we have provided unaudited financial statements for the
period ended June 30, 1998. The investment experience of the Separate Account
does not affect our financial statements.
    
 
                             CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS
   
                          [TO BE UPDATED BY AMENDMENT]
    
 
   
     On September 12, 1997, Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO")
appointed the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent
accountants for the year ended December 31, 1997 to replace KPMG LLP effective
with such appointment. KILICO's Board of Directors approved the selection of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the new independent accountants. Management had
not consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 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 LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure or any
reportable events. KPMG 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 LLP on accounting
or financial disclosures for the year ended December 31, 1997.

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.

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.

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.

(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
                                       48

(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.

                   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 other invested assets consisting primarily of venture capital investments
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
carried at cost.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(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
 
                                       54

(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

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.

     Income tax expense (benefit) was as follows for the years ended December

     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.

(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
     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
of administrative, legal, marketing, investment management, information systems
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.

                   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.

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.

                   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:

</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

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.

                         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, we will furnish an illustration based on the proposed
Insured's age, sex and premium payment requested.

                          UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
 
     Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.
 
                     UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 484(B)(1)
                        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
 
     Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 1-A(3)(a) to this
Registration Statement, Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) and the
Separate Account will agree to indemnify Investors Brokerage Services, Inc.
(IBS) against any claims, liabilities and expenses which IBS may incur under the
Securities Act of 1933, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon
any alleged untrue statements of material fact contained in any registration
statement or prospectus of the Separate Account, or any omission to state a
material fact therein, the omission of which makes any statement contained
therein misleading. IBS will agree to indemnify KILICO and the Separate Account
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses which KILICO or
the Separate Account may incur, arising out of or based upon any act or deed of
IBS or of any registered representative of an NASD member investment dealer
which has an agreement with IBS and is acting in accordance with KILICO's
instructions.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
KILICO or the Separate Account (by virtue of the fact that they may also be
agents, employees or controlling persons of IBS) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise KILICO and the Separate Account have been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
may be against public policy as expressed in the Act and may be, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by KILICO or the Separate Account of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of KILICO
or the Separate Account in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, KILICO and the Separate Account
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
 
             REPRESENTATION REGARDING FEES AND CHARGES PURSUANT TO
                SECTION 26 OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
 
     Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) represents that the fees
and charges deducted under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in
relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the
risks assumed by KILICO.

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



The Board of Directors
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company


   

We consent to the use of our reports included herein on the consolidated 
financial statements of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) and on 
the financial statement of the subaccounts of KILICO Variable Separate Account 
and to the references to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the 
prospectuses.  Our report on KILICO's financial statements dated March 21, 
1997, 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.
