                            MODIFIED SINGLE PREMIUM
                   VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
                         (SINGLE LIFE AND SURVIVORSHIP)

                    KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                  THROUGH ITS KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

        1 KEMPER DRIVE, LONG GROVE, ILLINOIS 60049       (800) 621-5001

     This Prospectus describes Modified Single Premium Variable Universal Life
Insurance Policies (the "Policies") offered by Kemper Investors Life Insurance
Company ("we" or "KILICO") for prospective insured persons ages 0-90. This
Prospectus describes Policies which provide insurance coverage on the life of
one Insured ("Single Life Policies") and Policies which provide insurance on the
lives of two Insureds ("Survivorship Policies"). You may pay a significant
initial Premium and, subject to certain restrictions, additional Premiums.

     Under the Single Life Policies, when the Insured dies, we will pay a Death
Benefit to a Beneficiary specified by you. Under the Survivorship Policies, the
Death Benefit is payable upon the second death, as long as the Policy is in
force. While the Policy is in force, the Death Benefit is at least the amount
shown in the Policy specifications, unless you have loans or the Net Surrender
Value is insufficient to pay the monthly expense charges. The Policy does not
have a guaranteed minimum Cash Value.

     If you choose a Policy with our No-Lapse Guarantee, while this guarantee is
in effect your Policy will never lapse, regardless of changes in Net Surrender
Value. Instead, if the Net Surrender Value becomes insufficient to pay the
monthly charges, the Death Benefit payable will at least equal your total
Premiums paid (less any prior withdrawals of Premium). This guarantee is in
effect while you have no outstanding Policy Debt. If you choose a Policy without
this guarantee or if this guarantee is not in effect under your Policy, your
coverage under the Policy may end if the Net Surrender Value of your Policy
becomes insufficient to cover the monthly expense charges.

    You generally may cancel the Policy and receive a refund by returning it to
us within ten days after you receive it. In some states, however, this free-look
period may be longer.

    The Policies are modified endowment contracts for Federal income tax
purposes, except in certain cases as described in "Federal Tax Considerations"
beginning on page 34. Accordingly, the death benefit under your Policy generally
is not subject to federal income tax, and federal income tax on any growth in
your Policy's Cash Value generally is deferred until you withdraw it by taking a
loan, partial withdrawal, or other distribution from your Policy during the life
of the Insured. In addition, any taxable withdrawal taken before age 59 1/2 will
also be subject to an additional ten percent federal penalty tax, with certain
exceptions.

    In certain states the Policies may be offered as group policies with
individual ownership represented by Certificates. The discussion of Policies in
this Prospectus applies equally to Certificates under group policies, unless the
context specifies otherwise.

     THE POLICIES AND THE INVESTMENTS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT ARE NOT
     DEPOSITS, OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY ANY BANK.
     THE POLICIES ARE SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE
     LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT INVESTED. THE POLICIES ARE NOT INSURED BY
     THE FDIC, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.

     IF YOU ALREADY OWN A VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, IT MAY NOT BE
     ADVANTAGEOUS FOR YOU TO BUY ADDITIONAL COVERAGE OR REPLACE YOUR
     EXISTING POLICY WITH THE POLICY DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

     THIS PROSPECTUS IS VALID ONLY IF ACCOMPANIED BY THE CURRENT
     PROSPECTUSES FOR THE PORTFOLIOS LISTED ABOVE. IF ANY OF THOSE
     PROSPECTUSES ARE MISSING OR OUTDATED, PLEASE CONTACT US AND WE WILL
     SEND YOU THE PROSPECTUS YOU NEED.

     REFERENCE.

    The Policies may not be available in all states.

                                    SUMMARY

     This section summarizes some of the more important features of your Policy.
The Policy is described more fully in the remainder of this Prospectus. Please
read this Prospectus carefully. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of
the Policy contained in this Prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force,
that there is no Policy Debt, and that current federal tax laws apply.

     This Policy is a modified single premium variable universal life insurance
policy. The Policy has a Death Benefit, a Cash Value, and other features similar
to life insurance policies providing fixed benefits. The Policy permits the
Owner to pay a single significant initial Premium and, subject to restrictions,
additional Premiums. It is a "variable" Policy because the Cash Value and, in
some circumstances, the Death Benefit vary according to the investment
performance of the Subaccounts to which you have allocated your Premium. The
Cash Value is not guaranteed. This Policy provides you with the opportunity to
take advantage of any increase in your Cash Value, but you also bear the risk of
any decrease.

     We will issue Policies on the lives of prospective Insureds age 0-90 who
meet our underwriting standards. You may purchase a Policy to provide insurance
coverage on the life of one Insured ("Single Life Policy") or a Policy to
provide insurance coverage on the lives of two Insureds ("Survivorship Policy").

PAYMENT OF PREMIUM

     Your initial Premium must equal at least $10,000. You may choose a minimum
initial Premium of 90% or 100% of the Guideline Single Premium, based on the
initial Specified Amount. If you choose to pay 90% of the Guideline Single
Premium, your current cost of insurance charge will be higher and your Policy
will not include our No-Lapse Guarantee. You may pay additional Premiums,
subject to the restrictions described in this Prospectus. We may refuse to
accept any Premium that would cause an increase in the Death Benefit, other than
a reinstatement Premium. We will accept any Premium at such time as it would not
cause your Policy to lose its status as a life insurance contract under the Tax
Code.

POLICY EFFECTIVE DATE

     In general, your Policy will be effective and your life insurance coverage
under the Policy will begin as of the date we receive your initial Premium,
after satisfaction of the applicable underwriting requirements. While your
application is in underwriting, if you have paid your initial Premium, we may
provide you with temporary life insurance coverage in accordance with the terms
of our temporary insurance agreement. This temporary coverage will not exceed
$500,000 plus the amount of your initial Premium. We may decline for any lawful
reason to accept your initial Premium until the Issue Date.

     You may be eligible to purchase a Policy through simplified underwriting
without a medical examination if you meet our simplified underwriting criteria.
Simplified underwriting will only be available for Individual Policies and
Survivorship Policies involving spouses. Other survivorship cases will be
considered on a fully underwritten basis. You are not eligible for simplified
underwriting if the Insured is under 35 years old or over 80 years old at the
time of application.

     If we approve your application, and you paid all or a portion of your
initial Premium prior to the Issue Date, we will credit interest to your Initial
Premium at our then current declared rate for the period from the Effective Date
to the Issue Date. On the Trade Date, we will allocate your initial Premium to
the Subaccounts you have selected or to the DCA Fixed Account (if you have
selected it for Dollar Cost Averaging). In some states, the Trade Date will be
the same as the Issue Date. In other states, however, which require us to return
your Premium upon cancellation of your Policy during the free-look period, on
the Issue Date we will initially allocate your initial Premium (plus any
interest) to the Kemper Money Market Subaccount, and the Trade Date will depend
on the length of the free-look period in your state. If the free-look period is
ten days, the Trade Date will occur twenty days after the Issue Date. If the
free-look period is longer, the Trade Date will occur a corresponding number of
days later. We will begin to deduct the Policy charges as of the Effective Date.

     If we reject your application, we will not issue you a Policy. We will
return any Premium you have paid, adding interest as and at the rate required in
your state. We will not subtract any Policy charges from the amount we refund to
you.

POLICY BENEFITS

     CASH VALUE. The Cash Value of your Policy on any Valuation Date is equal to
the sum of the Separate Account Value, the Fixed Account Value (if any), and the
Loan Account Value (if applicable). Your Cash Value

                                        5
<PAGE>   8

will depend on the investment performance of the Subaccounts to which you have
allocated your Premiums, the amount of interest we credit to the DCA Fixed
Account and the Loan Account (if you have any Cash Value in those Accounts), as
well as the Premiums paid, partial withdrawals, and charges assessed. We do not
guarantee a minimum Cash Value.

     SURRENDER OR PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. While your Policy is in force, you may
surrender it for the Net Surrender Value. We also will deduct the Records
Maintenance Charge from your surrender proceeds, if your Cash Value on the last
Policy Anniversary was less than $50,000. Upon surrender, life insurance
coverage under your Policy will end. You may also withdraw part of your Cash
Value through a partial withdrawal, subject to the restrictions described in
"Partial Withdrawals" beginning on page 23 below. If you take a partial
withdrawal, we will reduce the Specified Amount as described in this Prospectus
on page 23.

     WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. If you surrender your Policy, the Withdrawal Charge will
equal a percentage of your initial Premium net of all previous withdrawal
amounts on which you paid a Withdrawal Charge. You pay a proportionate amount of
Withdrawal Charge on partial withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount
described below.

     The Withdrawal Charge has two parts: (1) a surrender charge, which is
intended to cover our distribution expenses; and (2) an unamortized state
premium tax charge, which is intended to cover state premium tax expenses that
are not recovered through the Tax Charge. The rate used to determine the
Withdrawal Charge depends on the year the surrender or partial withdrawal is
made. The maximum Withdrawal Charge is 10% of the initial Premium. It declines
to zero percent after the ninth Policy Year, at the rates shown in the table on
page 31.

     FREE WITHDRAWALS. In each Policy Year, we will waive the Withdrawal Charge
for partial withdrawals equal to the greater of:

     1. Ten percent of the Cash Value; or

     2. Earnings not previously withdrawn.

     We will also waive the Withdrawal Charge for qualified medical stays and
disability. For more detail see "Amount Payable on Surrender of the Policy" and
"Partial Withdrawals" on page 23.

     POLICY LOANS. You may borrow money from us using your Policy as security
for the loan. Each Policy Loan must equal at least $1,000. Your total Policy
Loans may not exceed 90% of the Surrender Value of your Policy. In most
instances Policy Loans are treated as distributions for Federal tax purposes.
Therefore, you may incur tax liabilities if you borrow a Policy Loan. For more
detail, see "Policy Loans", beginning on page 22, and "Policies Which Are MECs",
on page 36.

     DEATH BENEFITS. Under a Single Life Policy, while the Policy is in force,
we will pay a Death Benefit to the Beneficiary upon the death of the Insured.
Under a Survivorship Policy, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary
upon the death of the second Insured. While your Policy is in force, the Death
Benefit will equal the greater of your Policy's then current Specified Amount
and the Cash Value multiplied by a specified percentage, except as provided
under "No-Lapse Guarantee" below. Before we pay the Death Benefit, we will
subtract an amount sufficient to repay any outstanding Policy Debt and to pay
any due and unpaid charges.

NO-LAPSE GUARANTEE

     Under our No-Lapse Guarantee, if you do not have any outstanding Policy
Debt, your Policy will never lapse, regardless of changes in the Net Surrender
Value. Your Policy will remain in force until payment of the Death Benefit or
the Maturity Date, unless you voluntarily surrender your Policy at an earlier
date. If your Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover a Monthly Deduction
when due, we will give you a 61-day Grace Period to pay additional Premium. If
you do not pay sufficient additional Premium, at the end of the Grace Period
your Policy will stay in force but the Death Benefit will be reduced to equal
your total Premium payments (less any prior partial withdrawals of Premium). The
No-Lapse Guarantee applies to your Policy unless: (a) you paid 90% of the
Guideline Single Premium at issue for your Policy or (b) your Policy has
outstanding Policy Debt.

DURATION OF COVERAGE

     If the No-Lapse Guarantee does not apply to your Policy and your Net
Surrender Value is insufficient to cover a Monthly Deduction when due, we will
give you a 61-day Grace Period to pay additional Premium. If you do not pay
sufficient additional Premium, your Policy will terminate at the end of the
Grace Period.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

     When you apply for the Policy, you specify in your application how to
allocate your initial Premium among the Subaccounts and/or the DCA Fixed
Account. Total allocations must equal 100%. You may allocate all or a portion of
your initial Premium to the DCA Fixed Account solely for the purpose of
subsequent transfers to the Subaccounts under our Automatic Dollar Cost
Averaging Program, as described on pages 15-16.

     We allocate any subsequent Premiums to the Subaccounts in the proportions
you specified in your application, until you give us new instructions. Your
initial allocation to a Subaccount must equal at least $500. You may not
allocate your Cash Value to more than 30 Subaccounts at one time. In the future,
we may change these limits. As a general rule, any subsequent Premium will be
allocated to the Subaccounts as of the date your Premium is received in our Home
Office at the address given on the first page of this Prospectus. You may not
allocate subsequent Premiums or make transfers to the DCA Fixed Account.

TRANSFERS

     You may transfer Cash Value among the Subaccounts while the Policy is in
force, by writing to us or calling us at (800) 621-5001. We currently do not
charge a transfer fee. We reserve the right to charge a fee of $25 per transfer
on each transfer after the first twelve transfers in each Policy Year, excluding
transfers under our Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account
Rebalancing Programs.

     The minimum amount that may be transferred is $100 or the remaining value
in the Subaccount, if the value that would remain in the Subaccount after the
transfer would be less than $500. For more detail, see "Transfer of Cash Value"
and "Transfers Authorized by Telephone", on page 15.

     You may also use our Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging program or our
Automatic Account Rebalancing program. You may not use both programs at the same
time. Under the Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging program, amounts are
automatically transferred to the Subaccounts of your choice on a monthly,
quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. For more detail, see "Automatic Dollar
Cost Averaging", on pages 15-16.

     Under the Automatic Account Rebalancing program, you periodically can
readjust the percentage of your Cash Value allocated to each Subaccount to
maintain a pre-set level. Investment results will shift the balance of your Cash
Value allocations. If you elect Automatic Account Rebalancing, we periodically
transfer your Cash Value back to the specified percentages annually,
semiannually, quarterly, or at your request. For more detail, see "Automatic
Account Rebalancing", on page 16.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

     You can allocate and reallocate your Cash Value among the Subaccounts, each
of which in turn invests in a single Portfolio. Under the Policy, the Separate
Account currently invests in the following Portfolios:

     Each Portfolio holds its assets separate from the assets of the other
Portfolios. Each Portfolio has distinct investment objectives and policies,
which are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Portfolios.

CHARGES

     CHARGES ASSESSED ON THE SUBACCOUNTS. On each Valuation Date, we deduct a
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge from the Separate Account. The Mortality and
Expense Charge equals an annual rate of .90% of average daily net assets, and is
intended to compensate us for expenses incurred and certain mortality and
expense risks assumed under the Policies. See "Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge" on page 29 below.

     MONTHLY DEDUCTION. We also deduct a Monthly Deduction from your Cash Value.
The Monthly Deduction consists of the cost of insurance charge, the
Administration Charge, the Tax Charge, and the cost of any benefit rider. We
also deduct the Records Maintenance Charge on each Policy Anniversary, if your
Policy's Cash Value was less than $50,000 on the previous Policy Anniversary.
The cost of insurance charge covers our anticipated mortality costs. If your
Initial Premium exceeds $500,000, your cost of insurance charges may be lower.
The Administration Charge is intended to compensate us for some of our
administrative costs under the Policy. The Tax Charge covers state premium tax
expenses under the Policies and certain federal tax liabilities resulting from
our receipt of Premiums under the Policies, as required by law. The Records
Maintenance Charge reimburses us for certain administrative costs associated
with the Policies. See "Monthly Deduction", on pages 29-30 below.

     WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We impose a Withdrawal Charge to cover a portion of our
premium tax expenses and a portion of the sales expenses we incur in
distributing the Policies. These sales expenses include agents' commissions,
advertising, and the printing of Prospectuses. See "Withdrawal Charge" on page 6
above and in "Withdrawal Charge" on page 31 below.

     TRANSFER FEE. We currently do not charge a transfer fee. Under the Policy,
however, we reserve the right to charge a fee of $25 per transfer on each
transfer in excess of twelve transfers in a single Policy Year, excluding
Automatic Account Rebalancing and Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers. See
"Transfer Fee" on page 32 below.

     The charges assessed under the Policy are summarized in the table entitled
"Policy Charges and Deductions" on pages 9-10 below, and described in more
detail in "Charges and Deductions", beginning on page 29.

     In addition to our charges under the Policy, each Portfolio deducts amounts
from its assets to pay its investment advisory fee and other expenses. The
prospectuses for the Portfolios describe their respective charges and expenses
in more detail. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or
administrators of the Portfolios. Such compensation will be consistent with the
services we provide or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement and
therefore may differ between Portfolios. We also may receive fees from the
Portfolios to assist us in distributing the Policies.

TAX TREATMENT UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW

     Your Policy is structured to meet the definition of a life insurance
contract under the Tax Code. We may need to limit the amount of Premiums you pay
under the Policy to ensure that your Policy continues to meet that definition.

     In most circumstances, your Policy will be considered a "modified endowment
contract", which is a form of life insurance contract under the Tax Code.
Special rules govern the tax treatment of modified endowment contracts. Under
current tax law, death benefit payments under modified endowment contracts, like
death benefit payments under other life insurance contracts, generally are
excluded from the gross income of the beneficiary. Withdrawals and Policy Loans,
however, are treated differently. Amounts withdrawn and Policy Loans are treated
first as income, to the extent of any gain, and then as a return of Premium. The
income portion of the distribution is includable in your taxable income. Also,
an additional ten percent federal penalty tax is generally imposed on the
taxable portion of amounts received before age 59 1/2. For more information on
the tax treatment of the Policy, see "Federal Tax Considerations", beginning on
page 34, and consult your tax adviser.

FREE-LOOK PERIOD

     In most states, you may cancel your Policy by returning it to us no later
than ten days after you receive it. In other states, however, this free-look
period may be longer, as provided by state law. If you return your Policy, the
Policy terminates and, in some states, we will pay you an amount equal to your
Premium (less any Policy Debt). In some other states, however, we will return
your Cash Value. Since state laws differ as to the consequences of returning a
Policy, you should refer to your Policy for specific information about your
circumstances.

ILLUSTRATION OF HOW POLICY VALUES CHANGE WITH EXPERIENCE

     At your request we will furnish you with a free, personalized illustration
of Cash Value, Surrender Value and Death Benefit. The illustration will be
personalized to reflect the proposed Insureds' age, sex, underwriting
classification, proposed initial Premium, and any available riders requested.
The illustrated Cash Value, Surrender Value and Death Benefit will be based on
certain hypothetical assumed rates of return for the Separate Account. Your
actual investment experience probably will differ, and as a result the actual
values under the Policy at any time may be higher or lower than those
illustrated. The personalized illustrations will follow the methodology and
format of the hypothetical illustrations that we filed with the SEC in the
registration statement.

                               FEES AND EXPENSES

     The following tables are designed to help you understand the fees and
expenses that you bear, directly or indirectly, as a Policy Owner. The first
table describes the Policy charges and deductions you directly bear under the
Policy. The second table describes the fees and expenses of the Portfolios that
you bear indirectly when you purchase a Policy. (See "Charges and Deductions",
beginning on page 29).

                          the Standard (NT)(5) rate class is 0.55% annually of

TRANSACTION CHARGES:

Transfer Fee:(9)          Currently none

MAXIMUM WITHDRAWAL
  CHARGE:(10)             10% of the initial Premium
- ---------------

 (1) Deducted each Valuation Period at a rate equivalent to the effective annual
     rate shown, multiplied by the Separate Account Value on the relevant
     Valuation Date, times the number of days in the relevant Valuation Period.
     No mortality and expense risk charge is deducted from the Kemper Money
     Market II Subaccount, which is only available for Automatic Dollar Cost
     Averaging that will deplete the owner's Subaccount Value by the end of the
     first Policy Year.

 (2) We currently do not assess a charge for federal income taxes that may be
     attributed to the operations of the Separate Account. We reserve the right
     to do so in the future. See "Charges and Deductions", beginning on page 29.

 (3) Assessed monthly, allocated pro rata among all active Subaccounts and the
     DCA Fixed Account.

 (4) The asset-based cost of insurance rate differs depending on Policy type and
     history of tobacco use of the Insured(s). The current asset-based cost of
     insurance rates also reflect whether you pay 90% or 100% of the Guideline
     Single Premium at issue (based on the initial Specified Amount). The
     asset-based rates that we set will reflect our expectations as to mortality
     experience under the Policies and other relevant factors, such that the
     aggregate actual cost of insurance charges paid under the Policies will
     compensate us for our aggregate mortality risks under the Policies. In our
     discretion, we may change the asset-based rate used in the current cost of
     insurance formula. Even if we change the asset-based rate, however, you
     will never be charged more than the amount determined using the guaranteed
     cost of insurance tables in your Policy. For further explanation, see
     "Charges and Deductions--Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance Charge", on
     pages 29-30.

 (5) The Standard (NT) rate class is our best rate class for Insureds who have
     not used tobacco of any kind within the past 36 months.

 (6) The guaranteed cost of insurance charges are based on attained age, sex,
     and history of tobacco use of the Insured(s). The net amount at risk is the
     difference between the Death Benefit and the Cash Value. See "Charges and
     Deductions--Monthly Deduction--Cost of Insurance Charge", on pages 29-30.

 (7) Deducted monthly in an amount equal to 1/12 the annual rate shown,
     multiplied by the total Cash Value, including the Loan Account Value, on
     the relevant Deduction Day. The Administration Charge covers certain of our
     administrative expenses in connection with the Policies. The Tax Charge
     covers a portion of our state premium tax expense and certain federal
     income tax liability associated with the receipt of Premium.

 (8) The Records Maintenance Charge is deducted annually on each Policy
     Anniversary. If you surrender your Policy during a Policy Year, we will
     deduct the Records Maintenance Charge from your surrender proceeds.

 (9) We currently do not charge a transfer fee. Under the Policy, we reserve the
     right in the future to charge a transfer fee of $25 on each transfer after
     the first twelve transfers each Policy Year, excluding transfers under our
     Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Account Rebalancing Programs.

(10) This charge only applies upon withdrawals of the initial Premium. It does
     not apply to withdrawals of any additional Premiums paid under a Policy.
     The Withdrawal Charge declines to zero percent after the ninth Policy
     Anniversary. It is imposed to cover a portion of our premium tax expenses
     and the sales expenses incurred by us in distributing the Policies. In any
     Policy Year, we will not charge any Withdrawal Charge on that portion of
     your withdrawals equal to the greater of (a) ten percent of the Cash Value,
     less any prior free partial withdrawal since the most recent Policy
     Anniversary, or (b) earnings not previously withdrawn. See Charges and
     Deductions--Withdrawal Charge, page 31.

     Portfolio (.95%). The amounts set forth in the table above reflect actual
     expenses for the past fiscal year, which were at or lower than these
     expense limits, after the benefit of any custodial credits as reflected in
     the "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses (Net)" column in the table above. With
     these credits, Management Fees and Total Portfolio Other Expenses for the
     Kemper Contrarian Value Portfolio would have been .75% and .05%,
     respectively.

     portfolios for one year, commencing May 1, 2000.

 (3) This Portfolio is the underlying investment for the Kemper Money Market
     Subaccount and the Kemper Money Market II Subaccount. The Kemper Money
     Market II Subaccount is only available to allocate all or a portion of your
     initial Premium for Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging that will deplete your
     Subaccount Value by the end of the first Policy Year.

     period commencing on May 1, 2000, to limit their respective fees and to
     reimburse other expenses to the extent necessary to limit total operating
     expenses of Kemper Strategic Income Portfolio to 1.05%. The "Management
     Fee" reflected in the above table, has been restated to reflect a fee
     reduction effective May 1, 2000 and the "Other Expenses" reflect actual
     expenses for the past fiscal year.

     Growth Portfolio, taking into effect this agreement to maintain expenses,
     the Management Fee was .00% and Total Portfolio Other Expenses were 1.50%.

     and Total Portfolio Other Expenses were .26% and .71%, respectively.

(11) The expense figures shown are for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
     Taking into effect certain fee waivers or reductions from the Portfolios'
     investment adviser and its affiliates, Management Fees and Total Portfolio
     Other Expenses for the Portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31,
     1999 were: 0.00%, and 1.40%, respectively, for the Emerging Markets
     Portfolio; and 1.07% and 0.33%, respectively, for the Global Post-Venture
     Capital Portfolio. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements may be
     discontinued at any time. The Total Portfolio Annual Expense (Net) figures
     set forth in the table above reflect the effect of the fee waiver and
     expense reduction arrangements described above.

                 PURCHASE OF POLICY AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

APPLICATION FOR A POLICY

     You may apply to purchase a Policy by submitting a written application to
us through one of our authorized agents. We will issue Policies to insure people
who are 90 years of age or younger. When you apply for a Policy, we will require
you to submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. If we do not issue a
Policy to you, we will return your Premium to you.

     In general, we will deliver your Policy only when (1) we have received your
initial Premium and (2) we have determined that your application meets our
underwriting requirements. If you are paying Premium from more than one source,
we will not issue your Policy until all Premium has been received. The Effective
Date will be the effective date of insurance coverage under your Policy. We use
the Effective Date to determine Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years, and
Deduction Days. The Effective Date usually will be the date when we have
received your initial Premium, after satisfaction of the applicable underwriting
requirements.

                                       12
<PAGE>   15

     We will not accept your initial Premium with your application if it exceeds
our then-current limit. In other cases, you may choose to pay the initial
Premium with your application. If you did not submit your initial Premium with
your application, we will require you to pay your entire Premium before we place
your insurance in force.

     Acceptance of your application is subject to our underwriting rules. We
reserve the right to reject your application for any lawful reason. We reserve
the right to change the terms or conditions of your Policy to comply with
differences in applicable state law. Variations from the information appearing
in this Prospectus due to individual state requirements are described in
supplements which are attached to this Prospectus or in endorsements to the
Policy, as appropriate.

     SIMPLIFIED UNDERWRITING. Under our current underwriting rules, which we may
change when and as we decide, proposed Insureds are eligible for simplified
underwriting without a medical examination, if the application responses and
requested initial Premium meet our simplified underwriting standards. Simplified
underwriting is not available if the initial Premium exceeds the limits set in
our simplified underwriting standards. For Survivorship Policies, simplified
underwriting is available only when the proposed Insureds are husband and wife;
both Insureds must meet our simplified underwriting requirements. Simplified
underwriting limits may vary by state.

     STANDARD UNDERWRITING. If you are not eligible for simplified underwriting,
we will process your application in accordance with our customary underwriting
requirements. While your application is in underwriting, if you have paid your
initial Premium we may provide you with temporary life insurance coverage in
accordance with the terms of our temporary insurance agreement. Any temporary
coverage may not exceed $500,000 plus the amount of your initial Premium. If you
did not pay your Premium with your application, we will require you to pay your
entire Premium before we place your insurance in force. If you pay Premium
through more than one source, e.g., through the rollover of another policy, we
will not place your Policy in force until all Premium has been received.

     If we approve your application, you will earn interest and/or investment
return on your Premium from the Effective Date. We will also begin to deduct the
Policy charges as of the Effective Date.

     If we reject your application, we will not issue you a Policy. We will
return any Premium you have paid, adding interest as and at the rate required in
your state. We will not subtract any Policy charges from the amount we refund to
you.

PREMIUMS

     You must pay an initial Premium to purchase a Policy. You may choose a
minimum initial Premium of 90% or 100% of the Guideline Single Premium for your
Policy's initial Specified Amount. Your choice will affect your current cost of
insurance charge. In addition, if you choose to pay 90%, your Policy will not
include our No-Lapse Guarantee. Under either option, the minimum initial Premium
is $10,000. We may waive or change this minimum.

     You may pay additional Premiums at any time and in any amount necessary to
avoid termination of your Policy. In addition, we will accept any additional
Premium at such time as it would not disqualify your Policy as a life insurance
contract under the Tax Code. If you wish to repay Policy Debt (if any), you must
send written instructions with your payment; otherwise, we will treat any
payment received from you as additional Premium.

ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS

     If you pay all or a portion of your initial Premium prior to the Issue
Date, we will initially allocate your payment to our Fixed Account. If we
approve your application, we will credit interest to that amount at an effective
rate of not less than 3% annually for the period from the Effective Date to the
Issue Date.

     On the Issue Date, if your state requires us to return your Premium if you
cancel your Policy during the free-look period, we will initially allocate your
initial Premium (and any interest) to the Kemper Money Market Subaccount.
Subsequently, on the Trade Date, we will allocate your Cash Value to the
Subaccounts and/or the DCA Fixed Account (if you have selected it for Automatic
Dollar Cost Averaging) in accordance with your instructions. The Trade Date will
depend on the length of the free-look period. If the free-look period is ten
days, the Trade Date will occur twenty days after the Issue Date. If the
free-look period is longer, the Trade Date will occur a corresponding number of
days later.

     In other states, on the Issue Date we will allocate your initial Premium
according to your instructions, because the Trade Date will be the same as the
Issue Date.

                                       13
<PAGE>   16

     You must specify your allocation percentages in your Policy application.
The total allocation must equal 100%. We will allocate your subsequent Premiums
in those proportions, until you give us new allocation instructions. You may
change your allocation instructions orally or in writing. Your initial
allocation to a Subaccount must equal at least $500. You may not allocate your
Cash Value to more than 30 Subaccounts at one time. You may not allocate
Premiums to the DCA Fixed Account after the initial Premium.

     We generally will allocate your additional Premiums to the Subaccounts as
of the date your Premium is received in our Home Office. We may refuse to accept
any Premium that would cause an increase in the Death Benefit, other than a
reinstatement Premium. We will make all valuations in connection with the
Policy, other than the initial Premium and other Premium payments requiring
underwriting, on the date a Premium is received or your request for other action
is received at our Home Office, if that date is a Valuation Date, or on the next
succeeding Valuation Date.

CASH VALUE

     Your Cash Value on any Valuation Date is the sum of the value of your
interest in the Subaccounts you have chosen, your Fixed Account Value (if any),
plus your Loan Account Value (if any). Your Cash Value may increase or decrease
daily to reflect the performance of the Subaccounts you have chosen, the
addition of interest credited to the Loan Account and the Fixed Account, the
addition of Premiums, and the subtraction of partial withdrawals and charges
assessed. There is no minimum guaranteed Cash Value.

     On the Effective Date, your Cash Value will equal the initial Premium less
the Monthly Deduction for the first Policy Month.

     The Separate Account Value equals the sum of the Subaccount Values, each of
which equals:

          a. The total value of your Accumulation Units in the Subaccount; plus

          b. Any Premium received and allocated to the Subaccount during the
     current Valuation Period; plus

          c. Any amount transferred to the Subaccount during the current
     Valuation Period; minus

          d. The pro-rata portion of any Monthly Deduction charged to the
             Subaccount when the Valuation Period includes a Deduction Day;
             minus

          e. Any amount transferred from the Subaccount during the current
     Valuation Period; minus

          f. Any amount withdrawn from the Subaccount during the current
     Valuation Period; minus

          g. Any amount loaned from the Subaccount during the current Valuation
     Period.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

     The Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the corresponding Portfolio and the deduction of
certain expenses. We will determine the Accumulation Unit Value for each
Subaccount on each Valuation Date. A Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value for a
particular Valuation Date will equal the Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value on
the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the Investment Experience Factor for
that Subaccount for the Valuation Period then ended.

     The Investment Experience Factor for each Subaccount is (1) divided by (2)
minus (3), where:

     (1) is the sum of (a) the net asset value per share of the corresponding
         Portfolio at the end of the current Valuation Period plus (b) the per
         share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution by that
         Portfolio, if the "ex-dividend" date occurs in that Valuation Period;
         plus or minus (c) a credit or charge for any taxes reserved for the
         current Valuation Period which we determine to have resulted from the
         investment operations of the Subaccount;

     (2) is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at the
         end of the last prior Valuation Period; and

     (3) is the factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.

     You should refer to the prospectuses for the Portfolios which accompany
this Prospectus for a description of how the assets of each Portfolio are
valued, since that determination directly affects the investment experience of
the corresponding Subaccount and, therefore, your Cash Value.

                                       14
<PAGE>   17

TRANSFER OF CASH VALUE

     While the Policy is in force before the Maturity Date, you may transfer
Cash Value among the Subaccounts in writing or by telephone. We currently do not
charge a transfer fee. However, under the Policy we reserve the right to charge
a fee of $25 for each transfer in excess of twelve per Policy Year, excluding
transfers under our Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Account
Rebalancing Programs. You may not transfer Cash Value to the DCA Fixed Account.

     The minimum amount that may be transferred from a single Subaccount is
$100, or the remaining value in the Subaccount, if the value that would remain
in the Subaccount after the transfer would be less than $500. We reserve the
right to waive or change these minimums.

     As a general rule, we only make transfers on days when the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. If we receive your request on one of
those days, we will make the transfer that day. Otherwise, we will make the
transfer on the first subsequent day on which the NYSE is open. Transfers
pursuant to an Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account Rebalancing
program will be made at the intervals you have selected in accordance with the
procedures and requirements we establish. We may suspend, modify, or terminate
the transfer provisions.

TRANSFERS AUTHORIZED BY TELEPHONE

     You may make transfers by telephone, if you so advise us in writing on our
authorized forms. The cut off time for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m.
Central time. Timely requests will be processed on that day at that day's price.
If we receive your request after 3:00 p.m. Central time, we will process your
request at the next day's price.

     We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that
telephone authorized transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone
conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request
identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses
resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. We may suspend,
modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time without notice.

AUTOMATIC DOLLAR COST AVERAGING

     Under our Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging program, while the Policy is in
force you may authorize us to transfer a fixed dollar amount monthly, quarterly,
semiannually, or annually to the Subaccounts of your choice in accordance with
the procedures and requirements we establish. The transfers will continue until
you instruct us to stop, or until your chosen source of transfer payments is
exhausted. The minimum Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfer is $100 per
transfer. Upon early termination of your Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging
program, we will allocate the remaining amount from your source account to the
Subaccounts in accordance with your instructions in our files, unless you have
given us new instructions.

     You may make Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging transfers from any Subaccount.
At issue, you may choose to allocate some or all of your initial Premium to the
Kemper Money Market II Subaccount or to the DCA Fixed Account, for purposes of
participating in the Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Amounts allocated
to the Kemper Money Market II Subaccount or the DCA Fixed Account must be
transferred to other Subaccounts by the first Policy Anniversary.

     The Kemper Money Market II Subaccount invests in the Kemper Money Market
Portfolio. However, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge is not charged to this
Subaccount.

     We offer two DCA Fixed Account options in connection with the Automatic
Dollar Cost Averaging Program: a six-month option and a twelve-month option.
Amounts designated for one of these options will be transferred to the
Subaccounts within six months or twelve months of the Effective Date, as
appropriate. Until they are transferred, they will accrue interest at the rate
we declare. We may declare different rates for the six-month and the
twelve-month options. In our discretion, we may change the DCA Fixed Account
options that we offer under the Policy. For more information, see "The DCA Fixed
Account".

     Your request to participate in this program will be effective when we
receive your completed application at our Home Office. Call or write us for a
copy of the application and additional information concerning the program. You
may not use Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic Account Rebalancing at
the same time. We may change, terminate, limit or suspend Automatic Dollar Cost
Averaging at any time.

     The theory of automatic dollar cost averaging is that by spreading your
investment over time, you may be able to reduce the effect of transitory market
conditions on your investment. In addition, because a given dollar
                                       15
<PAGE>   18

amount will purchase more units when the unit prices are relatively low rather
than when the prices are higher, in a fluctuating market, the average cost per
unit may be less than the average of the unit prices on the purchase dates.
However, participation in this program does not assure you of a greater profit
from your purchases under the program; nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce
losses in a declining market. Moreover, other investment programs may not work
in concert with Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging. Therefore, you should monitor
your use of these programs, as well as other transfers or withdrawals, while
Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging is being used.

AUTOMATIC ACCOUNT REBALANCING

     Automatic Account Rebalancing allows you to readjust the percentage of your
Cash Value allocated to each Subaccount to maintain a pre-set level. Over time,
the variations in each Subaccount's investment results will shift the balance of
your Cash Value allocations. Under the Automatic Account Rebalancing feature, we
periodically will transfer your Cash Value, including new Premiums (unless you
specify otherwise), back to the percentages you specify in accordance with the
procedures and requirements we establish. You may select the Subaccounts to
include in an Automatic Account Rebalancing program.

     You may request Automatic Account Rebalancing when you apply for your
Policy or by submitting a completed written request to us at our Home Office.
You may not use Automatic Account Rebalancing and Automatic Dollar Cost
Averaging at the same time. We may change, terminate, limit or suspend Automatic
Account Rebalancing at any time. Please call or write us for a copy of the
request form and additional information concerning Asset Automatic Rebalancing.

     Automatic Account Rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your
allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by
reducing your Cash Value allocated to the better performing segments. Other
investment programs may not work in concert with Automatic Account Rebalancing.
Therefore, you should monitor your use of these programs, as well as other
transfers or withdrawals, while Automatic Account Rebalancing is being used. We
may change, terminate, limit or suspend Automatic Account Rebalancing at any
time.

                               INVESTMENT OPTIONS

SEPARATE ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS: THE PORTFOLIOS.

     Each of the Subaccounts invests in the shares of one of the Portfolios.
Each Portfolio is an open-end management investment company or a separate
investment series of an open-end management investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). We briefly describe
the Portfolios below. You should read the current prospectuses for the
Portfolios for more detailed and complete information concerning the Portfolios,
their investment objectives and strategies, and the investment risks associated
with the Portfolios. If you do not have a prospectus for a Portfolio, contact us
and we will send you a copy.

     Each Portfolio holds its assets 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, and losses of one Portfolio have no effect on the investment performance
of any other Portfolio.

     The Portfolios which currently are the permissible investments of the
Separate Account under this Policy are the following registered investment
companies or separate series thereof:

        - Kemper Variable Series

     We do not promise that the Portfolios will meet their investment
objectives. Amounts you have allocated to Subaccounts may grow in value, decline
in value, or grow less than you expect, depending on the investment performance
of the Portfolios in which those Subaccounts invest. You bear the investment
risk that those Portfolios possibly will not meet their investment objectives.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE PORTFOLIOS' PROSPECTUSES BEFORE ALLOCATING
AMOUNTS TO THE SUBACCOUNTS.

     Each Portfolio is subject to certain investment restrictions and policies
which may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders
of the Portfolio. See the accompanying prospectuses of the Portfolios for
further information.

     We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions
from the Portfolios in shares of the distributing Portfolio at their net asset
value. The income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the assets of
each Subaccount are separate and are credited to or charged against the
particular Subaccount without regard to income, gains or losses from any other
Subaccount or from any other part of our business. We will use the Premiums you
allocate to a Subaccount to purchase shares in the corresponding Portfolio and
will redeem shares in the Portfolios to meet Policy obligations or make
adjustments in reserves. The Portfolios are required to redeem their shares at
net asset value and to make payment within seven days.

     Some of the Portfolios have been established by investment advisers that
manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names and investment
objectives. While some of the Portfolios may be similar to, and may in fact be
modeled after, publicly traded mutual funds, you should understand that the
Portfolios are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual
fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds
and any similarly named Portfolio may differ substantially.

     Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate accounts underlying
both variable life insurance and variable annuity policies. It is conceivable
that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life insurance separate
accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the same Portfolio.
Although neither we nor any of the Portfolios currently foresees any such
disadvantages either to variable life insurance or variable annuity owners, each
Portfolio's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in order to identify
any material conflicts between variable life and variable annuity owners and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If a Board
of Directors were to conclude that separate investment funds should be
established for variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, Owners
will not bear the attendant expenses.

VOTING RIGHTS

     As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote the shares of
the Portfolios held by the Subaccounts to which you have allocated your Cash
Value. Under current interpretations, however, you are entitled to give us
instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. We will notify you
when your instructions are needed and will provide proxy materials or other
information to assist you in understanding the matter at issue. We will
determine the number of votes for which you may give voting instructions as of
the record date set by the relevant Portfolio for the shareholder meeting at
which the vote will occur.

     As a general rule, you are the person entitled to give voting instructions.
However, if you assign your Policy, the assignee may be entitled to give voting
instructions. Retirement plans may have different rules for voting by plan
participants.

     If you send us written voting instructions, we will follow your
instructions in voting the Portfolio shares attributable to your Policy. If you
do not send us written instructions, we will vote the shares attributable to
your Policy in the same proportions as we vote the shares for which we have
received instructions from other Owners.

                                       19
<PAGE>   22

We will vote shares that we hold in the same proportions as we vote the shares
for which we have received instructions from other Owners.

     We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
Owner voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted
so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of one
or more of the Portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory
contract for one or more of the Portfolios.

     In addition, we may disregard voting instructions given by Owners with
respect to proposed changes in the investment objectives or the investment
adviser of the Portfolios if we reasonably disapprove of the proposed change. We
would disapprove a proposed change only if the proposed change is contrary to
state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities or we reasonably
conclude that the proposed change would not be consistent with the investment
objectives of the Portfolio or would result in the purchase of securities for
the Portfolio which vary from the general quality and nature of investments and
investment techniques utilized by the Portfolio. If we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report to you.

     This description reflects our view of currently applicable law. If the law
changes or our interpretation of the law changes, we may decide that we are
permitted to vote the Portfolio shares without obtaining instructions from
Owners, and we may choose to do so.

ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, AND SUBSTITUTIONS OF SECURITIES

     If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer available for
investment by the Separate Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in
the shares of a Portfolio is no longer appropriate in view of the purposes of
the Policy, we may add or substitute shares of another Portfolio or mutual fund
for Portfolio shares already purchased or to be purchased in the future by
Premiums under the Policy. Any substitution will comply with the requirements of
the 1940 Act.

     We also reserve the right to make the following changes in the operation of
the Separate Account and the Subaccounts:

          (a) to operate the Separate Account in any form permitted by law;

          (b) to take any action necessary to comply with applicable law or
     obtain and continue any exemption from applicable laws;

          (c) to transfer assets from one Subaccount to another, or from any
     Subaccount to our general account;

          (d) to add, combine, or remove Subaccounts in the Separate Account;

          (e) to assess a charge for taxes attributable to the operation of the
     Separate Account or for other taxes, as described in "Charges and
     Deductions--Separate Account Charges" below; and

          (f) to change the way in which we assess other charges, as long as the
     total other charges do not exceed the maximum guaranteed charges under the
     Policies.

     If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting interest
under the Policies, the Separate Account may be (a) operated as a management
company under the 1940 Act, (b) deregistered under the 1940 Act if 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 our General Account.

     If we take any of these actions, we will comply with the then applicable
legal requirements.

THE DCA FIXED ACCOUNT

     THE PORTION OF THE POLICY RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT
IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE 1940 ACT. ACCORDINGLY,
NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTEREST IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS SUBJECT TO
THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT, AND THE
DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE STAFF OF THE
SEC. THE STATEMENTS ABOUT THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY BE SUBJECT TO
GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING
ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS.

     You may allocate part or all of your initial Premium to the DCA Fixed
Account, to be transferred subsequently to the Subaccounts under our Automatic
Dollar Cost Averaging program. In addition, we allocate

                                       20
<PAGE>   23

your initial Premium to our Fixed Account for the period prior to the Issue
Date, if you pay all or a portion of your initial Premium prior to the Issue
Date. No other Fixed Account option currently is available under the Policy. We
reserve the right to discontinue offering or to offer additional Fixed Account
options under the Policy, in accordance with applicable law.

     The interest rate credited to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account,
including the DCA Fixed Account, will be shown in your Policy. We may change the
rate credited to new Policies at any time in our discretion. We set interest
rates in accordance with then current market conditions and other factors.

     Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of the general account
of KILICO. KILICO invests the assets of the general account in accordance with
applicable laws governing the investments of insurance company general accounts.

                           POLICY BENEFITS AND RIGHTS

DEATH BENEFIT

     While your Policy is in force, we will pay the Death Benefit proceeds upon
the death of the Insured or, if your Policy is a Survivorship Policy, upon the
death of the second Insured to die. We will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to
the named Beneficiary(ies) or, if none survives, to contingent Beneficiary(ies).
We will pay the Death Benefit proceeds in a lump sum or apply them under the
Policy's settlement options, which are described in "Settlement Option
Payments".

     The Death Benefit proceeds payable to the Beneficiary equal the Death
Benefit, less any Policy Debt and less any due and unpaid charges. We will
determine the amount of the Death Benefit proceeds as of the end of the
Valuation Period following the date of death of the Insured (or second Insured).
We must receive due proof of death within 60 days after the death of an Insured,
or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. We usually will pay the Death
Benefit proceeds within seven days after we have received all required
documentation. Payment may be postponed in certain circumstances. See
"Postponement of Payments".

     The Death Benefit generally is the greater of: (1) the Specified Amount; or
(2) the Cash Value at the date of death multiplied by a factor from the table of
death benefit factors. The death benefit factors in the table reflect the
"corridor percentages" for the guideline premium test under the Tax Code.

     We set the death benefit factors so as to ensure that Policies will qualify
for favorable tax treatment. The death benefit factors vary according to the age
of the Insured. Under this formula, an increase in Cash Value due to favorable
investment experience may increase the Death Benefit above the Specified Amount,
and a decrease in Cash Value due to unfavorable investment experience may reduce
the Death Benefit (but not below the Specified Amount). However, as explained in
"No-Lapse Guarantee and Grace Period" and "Termination" below, if your Policy's
Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover a Monthly Deduction when due, the
Death Benefit may be reduced to equal your total Premium payments (less any
prior withdrawals of Premium) or, if you have any outstanding Policy Debt, your
Policy may lapse.

EXAMPLES:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                              EXAMPLE A   EXAMPLE B
                                                              ---------   ---------
<S>                                                           <C>         <C>
Specified Amount............................................  $100,000    $100,000
Insured's Age...............................................        60          60
Cash Value on Date of Death.................................  $ 80,000    $ 50,000
Applicable Death Benefit Factors............................       130%        130%
Death Benefit...............................................  $104,000    $100,000
</TABLE>

     In Example A, the Death Benefit equals $104,000, i.e., the greater of
$100,000 (the Specified Amount) and $104,000 (the Cash Value at the date of
death of $80,000, multiplied by the corridor percentage of 130%). This amount,
less any Policy Debt and unpaid charges, constitutes the Death Benefit proceeds
that we would pay to the Beneficiary.

     In Example B, the Death Benefit is $100,000, i.e., the greater of $100,000
(the Specified Amount) or $65,000 (the Cash Value of $50,000 multiplied by the
corridor percentage of 130%).

     As explained in more detail in "Federal Tax Considerations", we have
structured the Policy to satisfy the definition of a life insurance contract
under Section 7702 of the Tax Code. As a result, the Death Benefit

                                       21
<PAGE>   24

ordinarily will be excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary, and any
growth in the Cash Value of the Policy will not be taxable until distributed.
However, because the Policy generally will be treated as a modified endowment
contract for tax purposes, withdrawals and Policy Debt will be treated as coming
first from any gain under your Policy, and then as a return of Premium. The
income portion of the distribution is includable in your taxable income. In
addition, a ten percent federal penalty tax may apply to the taxable portion of
the distributions received before age 59 1/2. For advice about the tax
consequences of purchasing a Policy or your specific circumstances, please
consult your tax adviser.

ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

     You may request payment of a portion of the Death Benefit as an Accelerated
Death Benefit if the Insured becomes terminally ill. You generally may request
an Accelerated Death Benefit of up to the lesser of 50% of the existing Death
Benefit or $250,000. Before we pay your Accelerated Death Benefit, we will
deduct a $150 administrative fee and an amount sufficient to repay any
outstanding Policy Debt. In approved states, the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider
will be issued with all Policies at no extra Premium.

     If you request an Accelerated Death Benefit, the balance of the Death
Benefit is payable upon the Insured's death. We will reduce the Death Benefit
payment by the amount previously paid, increased to reflect the early payment of
a portion of the Death Benefit under this Rider. You may request an Accelerated
Death Benefit only once. Under Survivorship Policies, the Accelerated Death
Benefit may not be requested until after the death of one of the Insureds. The
total Accelerated Death Benefits available under all life insurance policies
issued to you by us or our affiliates is $250,000.

     In general, the tax treatment of accelerated death benefits is the same as
the tax treatment of the Death Benefit, as described in "Federal Tax
Considerations". Please consult your tax adviser for more information.

POLICY LOANS

     While the Policy is in force, you may borrow money from us using the Policy
as the only security for your loan. Loans have priority over the claims of any
assignee or any other person. You may borrow up to 90% of the Surrender Value of
your Policy as of the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive your loan
request. Any outstanding Policy Debt will count against that limit. Thus, for
example, if the Surrender Value of your Policy was $100,000 and you already had
$50,000 in Policy Debt outstanding, you could borrow an additional $40,000
($100,000 X 90% - $50,000). The minimum loan amount is $1,000. In addition, if
you have named an irrevocable Beneficiary, you must also obtain his or her
written consent before we make a Policy Loan to you.

     YOU MAY REALIZE TAXABLE INCOME WHEN YOU TAKE A POLICY LOAN. In most
instances, a Policy is treated as a "modified endowment contract" for federal
tax purposes. As a result, Policy Loans are treated as withdrawals for tax
purposes, and the amount of the loan equal to any increase in your Cash Value
may be treated as taxable income to you. In addition, you may also incur an
additional ten percent federal penalty tax. You should also be aware that
interest on Policy Loans is generally not tax deductible. On the other hand,
although a Policy Loan is treated as a withdrawal for tax purposes, it is
treated differently for Policy purposes. For example, under the Policy, a Policy
Loan, unlike a partial withdrawal, does not reduce the Specified Amount.
Accordingly, before you take a Policy Loan, you should consult your tax adviser
and carefully consider the potential impact of a Policy Loan on your rights and
benefits under the Policy.

     While the Policy remains in force, you may repay a Policy Loan in whole or
in part without any penalty at any time while the Insured is living.

     The loan interest rate on all Policy Loans will be 5.50% per year
compounded daily. Interest not paid will be charged on a daily basis and will be
added to the Policy Debt on this Policy and bear interest at the same rate.

     When we make a Policy Loan to you, an amount equal to the Loan will be
transferred from the Subaccounts to the Loan Account until the loan is repaid.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, the amount of the Loan will be deducted pro
rata from the Subaccounts and DCA Fixed Account based on their relative
Subaccount Values or DCA Fixed Account Values under your Policy. As explained in
"No-Lapse Guarantee and Grace Period" below, if the Policy Debt outstanding
under your Policy should ever equal or exceed the Net Surrender Value, your
Policy will enter the grace period and may terminate if you do not pay
sufficient additional Premium. We reserve the right to not permit you to borrow
Cash Value derived from Premium paid in the form of a check or draft for up to
30 days after we deposit that check or draft.

     We will credit interest at an annual rate of 3.50% to your Loan Account
Value that is not attributable to "Preferred Loans." As to any Loan Account
Value attributable to "Preferred Loans", we currently credit interest at an
annual rate of 5.50%. We may change that rate, but we will never reduce it to
less than 3.5% annually. We will classify as "Preferred Loans" the portion of
your total Loan Account Value equal to the difference between

                                       22
<PAGE>   25

your Policy's Cash Value minus total Premiums paid (net of all prior withdrawals
of Premium). If you purchase your Policy in exchange for a policy with another
insurance company, we will accept up to 50% of the Cash Value as a rollover
loan. We will treat as a Preferred Loan the portion of the rollover loan equal
to the cash value of your old policy, minus the total premiums paid under your
old policy, plus any withdrawal of premiums under your old policy prior to the
exchange.

     A Policy Loan, whether or not repaid, will have a permanent effect on the
Cash Value because the investment results of each Subaccount will apply only to
the amounts remaining in those Subaccounts. The longer a loan is outstanding,
the greater the effect is likely to be. The effect could be favorable or
unfavorable. If the Subaccounts earn more than the annual interest rate for
amounts held in the Loan Account, your Cash Value will not increase as rapidly
as it would if you had not taken a Policy Loan. If the Subaccounts earn less
than that rate, then your Cash Value will be greater than it would have been if
you had not taken a Policy Loan. Also, if you do not repay a Policy Loan, your
Policy Debt will be subtracted from the Death Benefit and Surrender Value
otherwise payable.

AMOUNT PAYABLE ON SURRENDER OF THE POLICY

     While your Policy is in force, you may fully surrender your Policy. Upon
surrender, we will pay you the Net Surrender Value determined as of the day we
receive your written request at our Home Office. Your Policy will terminate on
the day we receive your written request. We may require that you give us your
Policy document before we pay you the surrender proceeds. Before we pay a full
surrender, you must provide us with tax withholding information.

     The Net Surrender Value equals the Cash Value less any applicable
Withdrawal Charge, less any outstanding Policy Debt. We also will deduct the $30
Records Maintenance Charge, if it would otherwise be due at the end of the
current Policy Year. We will determine the Net Surrender Value as of the end of
the Valuation Period during which we received your request for surrender. We
generally will pay you the surrender proceeds of the Policy within seven days of
our receiving your complete written request or on the effective surrender date
you have requested, whichever is later. The determination of the Withdrawal
Charge is described in "Withdrawal Charge".

     You may receive the surrender proceeds in a lump sum or under any of the
settlement options described in "Settlement Option Payments". The tax
consequences of surrendering the Policy are discussed in "Federal Tax
Considerations".

PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

     You may receive a portion of the Surrender Value of your Policy by making a
partial withdrawal from your Policy. Your request may be by telephone or in
writing. If you request a partial withdrawal by telephone, however, the amount
withdrawn may not exceed our limit, which currently is $10,000; larger requests
must be in writing. All partial withdrawals requested by telephone will be sent
only to the address of record of the Owner. Your request, whether written or
telephonic, will be effective on the date we receive it at our Home Office,
provided we receive it before 3:00 p.m. Central time. If we are not provided
with tax withholding information, we will withhold taxes from the amount
withdrawn at the rate required by law. We reserve the right to change the terms
of telephonic withdrawals, including our limit, at any time.

     When you request a partial withdrawal, we will pay you the amount requested
and subtract the amount requested plus any applicable Withdrawal Charge from
your Cash Value. We may waive the Withdrawal Charge on some or all of your
partial withdrawal. The determination of the Withdrawal Charge is described in
"Withdrawal Charge".

     You may specify how much of your partial withdrawal you wish taken from
each Subaccount and the DCA Fixed Account. The amount requested from a specific
option may not exceed the value of that option less any applicable Withdrawal
Charge. If you do not specify the option from which you wish to take your
partial withdrawal, we will take it pro rata from the Subaccounts and the DCA
Fixed Account.

     You may take an unlimited number of partial withdrawals each Policy Year.
The minimum withdrawal amount is $100 or the amount that remains in the
Subaccount if less. The minimum balance in the Subaccount after the withdrawal
is $500 unless the total Subaccount Value is withdrawn. If a partial withdrawal
would reduce your Policy's Net Surrender Value below $5,000, we will treat your
request as a request to surrender your Policy.

     When you take a partial withdrawal, your Specified Amount will decrease in
proportion to the resulting reduction in Cash Value. We will notify you of the
new Specified Amount. We will not permit a partial withdrawal that would reduce
the Specified Amount below the minimum specified in your Policy.

                                       23
<PAGE>   26

     Partial withdrawals generally will be subject to income tax and may be
subject to a ten percent federal penalty tax. The tax consequences of partial
withdrawals are discussed in "Federal Tax Considerations".

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS

     You may enroll in our systematic withdrawal program by sending a completed
enrollment form to our Home Office. You may choose between payout schedules of
monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. You may specify the amount of the
withdrawal, the day of the month for each scheduled payment, and the Fixed
Account or the Subaccount(s) from which the withdrawal will be taken. You may
start, stop, increase, or decrease payment at any time. The minimum withdrawal
amount is $100.

     We will treat systematic withdrawals in the same way as other partial
withdrawals in applying the Withdrawal Charge. In our discretion we may stop
paying systematic withdrawals if your Cash Value falls below our current
minimum. We reserve the right to modify or suspend the systematic withdrawal
program. In our discretion, any change may apply to existing systematic plans.
Write us at the address shown on the first page of this Prospectus or call us at
(800) 621-5001 for more information about our systematic withdrawal program.

SETTLEMENT OPTION PAYMENTS

     GENERAL. We will pay the Surrender Value or Death Benefit proceeds under
the Policy in a lump sum or under one of the settlement options that we then
offer. The option selected must result in a payment that is at least equal to
our minimum payment, according to our rules, at the time the settlement option
is chosen. If at any time the payments are less than the minimum payment, we
have the right to increase the period between payments to quarterly,
semi-annually, or annually so that the payment is at least equal to the minimum
payment, or to make payment in one lump sum.

     The amount of the payments under a settlement option are based on:

          - the settlement option table specified in the Policy;

          - the selected settlement option; and

          - the investment performance of the selected Subaccount(s) (if
            variable payments are chosen).

     Under each settlement option, you and/or the payee may choose fixed
payments or variable payments or a combination of the two, except that only
fixed payments are available under Option 1. If fixed payments are chosen, the
payee receives a fixed amount each month determined in accordance with the
settlement option you have chosen. If variable payments are chosen, the payee
receives the value of a fixed number of Annuity Units each month. An Annuity
Unit's value reflects the investment performance of the Subaccount(s) selected
by the payee. The amount of each payment varies accordingly. If you do not
provide instructions, we will initially apply your Separate Account Value to
variable payments and any Fixed Account Value to fixed payments. The payee may
change the Subaccounts or the relative weighting of the Subaccounts on which
variable payments are based, or increase the portion of each payment that is a
fixed payment, subject to certain limitations, as described below under
"Settlement Option Payments--Transfers". BEFORE CHOOSING VARIABLE PAYMENTS, YOU
SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AMONG THE SUBACCOUNTS FOR
YOUR PERIODIC PAYMENTS IS THE ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS.

     You may request a settlement option by writing to us at our Home Office
before the death of the Insured. If you change the Beneficiary, the existing
choice of settlement option will become invalid and you may either notify us
that you wish to continue the pre-existing choice of settlement option or select
a new one. We will issue a supplementary contract reflecting the terms of the
settlement option chosen. If payment is made as a Death Benefit distribution,
the effective date of the supplementary agreement will be the date of death.
Otherwise, you may choose the effective date.

     SETTLEMENT OPTIONS. The following settlement options are available under
the Policy:

          OPTION 1--FIXED INSTALLMENT ANNUITY. We will make monthly payments for
     a fixed number of installments. Payments must be made for at least 5 years,
     but not more than 30 years.

          OPTION 2--LIFE ANNUITY. We will make monthly payments while the payee
     is alive. It is possible for the payee to receive only one payment if the
     payee dies before the second payment is due.

          OPTION 3--LIFE ANNUITY WITH INSTALLMENTS GUARANTEED. We will make
     monthly payments for a guaranteed period and thereafter while the payee is
     alive. The guaranteed period must be selected at the time the settlement
     option is chosen. The guaranteed periods available are 5, 10, 15, and 20
     years.

                                       24
<PAGE>   27

          OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We will pay the full monthly
     income while both payees are alive. Upon the death of either payee, we will
     continue to pay the surviving payee a percentage of the original monthly
     payment. The percentage payable to the surviving payee must be selected at
     the time the settlement option is chosen. The percentages available are
     50%, 66 2/3%, 75%, and 100%. It is possible for the payees to receive only
     one payment if they both die before the second payment is due.

     OTHER OPTIONS. We may make other settlement options available. Payments are
also available on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

     When the payee dies under Options 1 and 3, we will pay the commuted value
of any unpaid installments in a lump sum to the estate of the payee, unless the
supplementary agreement provides otherwise. We will determine the commuted
amount based upon an interest rate of not less than 2.5%. You may not withdraw
Cash Value once we begin making payments to you under any settlement option
involving payments to the payee for life or any combination of payments for life
and a minimum guaranteed payment period, such as Options 2, 3, and 4.

     AMOUNT OF PAYMENT. The amount applied to a settlement option will equal the
Cash Value on the first day preceding the date when the first annuity payment is
due, less any applicable Withdrawal Charge and Records Maintenance Charge. The
remainder will be used to determine the fixed or variable payment in accordance
with the appropriate Settlement Option Table.

     The amount of each fixed payment is determined by multiplying the amount
applied to the settlement option by the appropriate settlement option rate. We
will use a rate at least as high as the rate shown in the appropriate Settlement
Option Table. These tables show the monthly payment for each $1,000 of Cash
Value allocated to fixed payments. The amount of each subsequent fixed payment
does not change regardless of investment, mortality or expense experience.

     The amount of the first variable payment also is determined from the
Settlement Option Tables, based on the Cash Value allocated to variable
payments. Subsequent variable payments are determined by multiplying the number
of Annuity Units in each Subaccount chosen by the payee times the Annuity Unit
Value of each such Subaccount at the end of the Valuation Period that includes
the date on which each variable payment is made. The first variable payment is
divided by the Annuity Unit Value as of the Annuity Date to establish the number
of Annuity Units representing each variable payment. We determine the number of
Annuity Units separately for each Subaccount on which variable payments are
based. This number does not change, unless the payee makes a transfer as
described in "Settlement Option Payments--Transfers" below.

     The guaranteed monthly payments shown in the Settlement Option Tables are
based on an interest rate of 2.50% per year and, where mortality is involved,
the "1983 Table a", an individual mortality table developed by the Society of
Actuaries, projected using Projection Scale G. Interest under a settlement
option begins to accrue on the effective date of the supplementary agreement. If
the effective date determined as described above would be the 29th, 30th or 31st
day of a month, the 28th day of that month will be deemed the effective date.

     TRANSFERS. While variable payments are being made under a settlement
option, the payee may request, in writing, to change the Subaccounts or the
relative weighting of the Subaccounts on which variable payments are based, or
the relative proportions of variable and fixed payments. These changes may be
effected by transferring Annuity Unit Value from one Subaccount to another or to
fixed payments, or by making transfers from fixed payments to the Subaccounts.
This type of transfer is subject to the following limitations:

          - The payee may make only one transfer during each twelve month period
     beginning on the date of the first annuity payment and each anniversary of
     that date.

          - We must receive the payee's written request at least 30 days before
     the effective date of the transfer.

          - Each transfer must consist of at least $1,000 of Annuity Unit Value
     or annuity reserve value. After the transfer, at least $1,000 of Annuity
     Unit Value or annuity reserve value must remain in the account from which
     the transfer was made, unless the entire amount is transferred.

          - After the transfer, the payee's variable payments may not be based
     on more than three Subaccounts.

     We will execute transfers using values as of the end of the Valuation
Period preceding the effective date of the transfer. Transfers among the
Subaccounts and transfers from fixed to variable payments will be effected at
the Annuity Unit Value of the relevant Subaccounts. Transfers from variable to
fixed payments will be based in part on the present value of the remaining
payments under the chosen option, and will reflect the differences in the
interest rates used to calculate fixed and variable payments. The method for
calculating these transfers is described in more detail in the Policy. We may
suspend, change or terminate the transfer privilege at any time.

                                       25

     ANNUITY UNIT VALUE. Annuity Unit Value is determined independently for each
Subaccount. Annuity Unit Value for any Valuation Period is:

          - Annuity Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period;
     times

          - the net investment factor for the current Valuation Period; times

          - an interest factor of .99993235 per calendar day of the current
     Valuation Period in order to offset the effect of the assumed rate of 2.50%
     per year used in the Policy's Settlement Option Tables.

     The net investment factor for a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is:

          (1) the sum of (a) the net asset value per share of the corresponding
     Portfolio at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus (b) the per
     share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution by that
     Portfolio, if the "ex-dividend" date occurs in that Valuation Period; plus
     or minus (c) a credit or charge for any taxes reserved for the current
     Valuation Period which we determine to have resulted from the investment
     operations of the Subaccount; divided by

          (2) the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio at
     the end of the last prior Valuation Period.

     A 2.50% per annum rate of investment earnings is assumed by the Policy's
Settlement Option Tables. Under the formula for determining Annuity Unit Value,
if the actual net investment earnings rate on the selected Subaccounts exceeds
2.50% per annum, variable payments increase accordingly. Conversely, if the
actual earnings rate is less than 2.50% per annum, variable payments decrease.

     ANNUITY RESERVE VALUE. Annuity reserve value is used in calculating
transfers from variable payments to fixed payments. Annuity reserve value
equals:

          (1) the number of Annuity Units transferred from a Subaccount; times

          (2) the Annuity Unit Value for that Subaccount; times

          (3) the present value of $1.00 per payment period using the attained
     age of the payee(s) and any remaining unpaid guaranteed payments at the
     time of the transfer.

NO-LAPSE GUARANTEE AND GRACE PERIOD

     Under our No-Lapse Guarantee, we guarantee that your Policy will remain in
force regardless of changes in the Net Surrender Value, provided you have no
outstanding Policy Debt. If the Net Surrender Value of your Policy is less than
the Monthly Deduction for the next month, your Policy will enter the Grace
Period. The Grace Period lasts 61 days. If the Insured dies during the Grace
Period, the Death Benefit will be the amount determined as described in "Death
Benefit", less any due and unpaid Monthly Deduction or other charge.

     During the Grace Period, you may pay additional Premium or loan repayment
without evidence of insurability to keep your Policy in force. Your payment must
equal at least three Monthly Deductions. No payment is required, however. This
Grace Period will begin on the day we mail notice of the Grace Period to your
last known address.

     If the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect under your Policy and you do not pay
sufficient additional Premium or loan repayment, your Policy will remain in
force, but the amount paid upon death of the Insured after the Grace Period will
be limited to the return of Premium paid (less any prior withdrawals of
Premium). You may restore the Specified Amount, however, by complying with the
reinstatement provisions. The No-Lapse Guarantee applies to your Policy unless:
(a) you paid 90% of the Guideline Single Premium for your Policy or (b) your
Policy has outstanding Policy Debt.

     If the No-Lapse Guarantee does not apply to your Policy and the Net
Surrender Value of your Policy is less than the Monthly Deduction for the next
month, your Policy also will enter the Grace Period, as described above.
However, if you do not make the required payment, your coverage will terminate
at the end of the Grace Period. You may reinstate your coverage by complying
with the reinstatement provisions.

TERMINATION

     The Policy will terminate and life insurance coverage will end when one of
the following events first occurs:

          (a) you surrender your Policy;

          (b) the Insured dies or, for Survivorship Policies, the Surviving
     Insured dies;

                                       26
<PAGE>   29

          (c) the Policy matures;

          (d) the Grace Period ends and there is Policy Debt outstanding; or

          (e) the Grace Period ends and you paid 90% of the Guideline Single
     Premium for your Policy.

MATURITY BENEFIT AND EXTENDED MATURITY

     In certain states, if the Insured is still living and your Policy is in
force on the Maturity Date, we will pay you a Maturity Benefit. The Maturity
Benefit will equal the Net Surrender Value on the Maturity Date. The Maturity
Date is the Policy Anniversary nearest the Insured's 100th birthday. For
Survivorship Policies, the Maturity Date is the Policy Anniversary nearest the
younger Insured's 100th birthday.

     In states where approved, the Extended Maturity Rider will be issued with
all Policies at no extra Premium. Under this Rider, you may choose from year to
year to extend the Maturity Date for one year intervals. During the extension
period, you may not take partial withdrawals or additional Policy Loans and the
Death Benefit is the Cash Value. In addition, during the extension period, we
will not charge the cost of insurance charge. We will, however, continue to
charge other charges under your Policy, including the Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge, even though there no longer will be a mortality risk under your Policy.
We will continue to impose this charge because this charge reflects our
expectations to the mortality risks and the amount of such charges expected to
be paid under all Policies, including Policies covered by Extended Maturity
Riders.

     All other riders still active end at the Policy Anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday (or, for Survivorship Policies, at the Policy
Anniversary nearest the younger Insured's 100th birthday). The tax treatment of
the Maturity Benefit and the Extended Maturity Rider is discussed in "Treatment
of Maturity Benefits and Extension of Maturity Date".

REINSTATEMENT

     If your coverage has been reduced pursuant to our No-Lapse Guarantee or has
lapsed due to insufficient Cash Value (see "No-Lapse Guarantee and Grace Period"
above), you may reinstate coverage by complying with the conditions described
below. After reinstatement, your Policy will be in force and the minimum Death
Benefit will equal the Specified Amount in effect before your coverage was
reduced or lapsed. To reinstate your Policy, you must apply to us within three
years of the end of the most recent Grace Period and meet the following
conditions:

          (1) Provide evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;

          (2) Pay the unpaid Monthly Deductions due during the expired Grace
     Period;

          (3) Pay at least sufficient additional Premium to keep your Policy in
     force for three months; and

          (4) Pay or reinstate any Policy Debt that existed at the date of
     lapse.

     The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy will be the Deduction Day
that coincides with or next follows the date on which we approve your
application for reinstatement. You may not reinstate a Policy that has been
surrendered. Under Survivorship Policies, if one of the Lives Insured dies
during the lapse, upon payment of the reinstatement Premium the Policy will be
reissued as a single life permanent policy.

     The suicide and incontestability provisions will apply from the effective
date of reinstatement.

CANCELLATION (FREE-LOOK PERIOD)

     In many states, you may cancel your Policy by returning it to us within ten
days after you receive it. In some states, however, this free-look period may be
longer, as provided by state law. If you return your Policy, the Policy
terminates and we will pay you your Cash Value or, in some states, an amount
equal to your Premium (less any Policy Debt). We will pay the refund within
seven days of receiving your request. No Withdrawal Charge is imposed upon
return of a Policy within the free-look period. This free-look right may vary in
certain states in order to comply with the requirements of state insurance laws
and regulations. Accordingly, you should refer to your Policy for specific
information about your circumstances.

                                       27
<PAGE>   30

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

     We may defer for up to fifteen days the payment of any amount attributable
to a Premium paid by check to allow the check a reasonable time to clear. We
ordinarily will pay any amount attributable to Separate Account Value within
seven days, except:

          (1) whenever the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and
     holiday closings);

          (2) when trading on the NYSE is restricted or an emergency exists, as
     determined by the SEC, so that disposal of the Separate Account's
     investments or determination of the value of its net assets is not
     reasonably practicable; or

          (3) at any other time permitted by the SEC for your protection.

     We may delay payment of partial or full withdrawals from the DCA Fixed
Account for up to six months from the date we receive your written withdrawal
request. We may also defer payment of any Death Benefit in excess of the
Specified Amount for up to six months from the date requested if those benefits
are based upon Policy values that do not depend on the investment performance of
the Separate Account.

                             CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

     We assess charges and deductions under the Policies against the Subaccounts
and the Cash Value. Additional deductions and expenses are paid out of the
Portfolios' assets, as described in the prospectuses of the Portfolios.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES

     MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. On each Valuation Date, we will deduct a
charge from each Subaccount at an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net
assets for mortality and expense risks we assume.

     The mortality risk assumed in relation to the Policy includes the risk that
the cost of insurance charges specified in the Policy will be insufficient to
meet claims and the risks under the No-Lapse Guarantee. We also assume a risk
that, on the Deduction Day preceding the death of an Insured, the Death Benefit
will exceed the amount on which the cost of insurance charges were based. The
expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the
Policies will exceed the Administration Charges set in the Policy.

     RESERVE FOR TAXES. We currently are not maintaining a provision for taxes
attributable to the operations of the Separate Account (as opposed to the
federal tax related to the receipt of Premiums under the Policies). In the
future, however, we may make such a charge. Charges for other taxes, if any,
attributable to the Separate Account or to this class of Policies may also be
made.

MONTHLY DEDUCTION

     On the Effective Date and on each monthly Deduction Day we will take a
Monthly Deduction from your Cash Value. The Monthly Deduction equals the sum of
the following:

          (1) The monthly cost of insurance charge for the Policy; plus

          (2) The monthly charge for any riders; plus

          (3) The Administration Charge; plus

          (4) The Tax Charge.

     On each Policy Anniversary, we also will deduct the Records Maintenance
Charge, if your Policy's Cash Value was less than $50,000 on the previous Policy
Anniversary.

     COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE. The cost of insurance charge is intended to pay
for the cost of providing life insurance coverage for the Insured(s). The
current cost of insurance charge differs based on whether you paid 90% or 100%
of the Guideline Single Premium at issue. We guarantee that this charge will not
exceed the maximum cost of insurance charge determined on the basis of the rates
shown in the mortality table guaranteed in the Policy. If your initial Premium
exceeds $500,000, your cost of insurance charge may be lower.

     The current monthly cost of insurance charge is the lesser of:

          (a) the applicable current asset-based cost of insurance rate times
     the Cash Value on the Deduction Day; or

          (b) the applicable guaranteed cost of insurance rate multiplied by the
     net amount at risk on the Deduction Day.

     If your initial Premium is no greater than $500,000 and you paid 100% of
the Guideline Single Premium, our current asset-based cost of insurance rate for
the Single Life Policies for the Standard Rating Class (NT) is 0.55% annually of
Cash Value for Policy Years 1-10, and 0.25% annually of Cash Value thereafter.
Our current asset-based cost of insurance rate for Survivorship Policies, when
both Insureds are in the Standard Rating Class (NT), is 0.45% annually of Cash
Value for Policy Years 1-10, and 0.20% annually of Cash Value thereafter.

     If your initial Premium is greater than $500,000 and you paid 100% of the
Guideline Single Premium, our current asset-based cost of insurance rate for the
Single Life Policies for the Standard Rating Class (NT) is 0.25% annually of
Cash Value for Policy Years 1-10, and 0.10% annually of Cash Value thereafter.
Our current asset-based cost of insurance rate for Survivorship Policies, when
both Insureds are in the Standard Rating Class (NT), is 0.20% annually of Cash
Value for Policy Years 1-10, and 0.10% annually of Cash Value thereafter.

     If you paid 90% of the Guideline Single Premium, your current cost of
insurance rates will be higher. In addition, rates for other classes may differ
based on the type of Policy and the history of tobacco use of the

                                       29
<PAGE>   32

Insured(s). Your guaranteed cost of insurance rates are set forth in the
mortality tables in your Policy. The net amount at risk is (a)-(b), where:

          (a) is the Death Benefit on the first day of the Policy Month; and

          (b) the Cash Value on that day before the deduction of the Monthly
     Deduction for the cost of insurance.

     Because your Cash Value and the net amount for which we are at risk under
your Policy may vary monthly, your cost of insurance charge is likely to differ
each month. In general, under these formulas, when your current monthly cost of
insurance charge is determined using the asset-based rate, an increase in your
Cash Value increases your current monthly cost of insurance charge, up to the
guaranteed maximum cost of insurance charge determined as described above. Since
that maximum charge is based on the net amount at risk, it declines as your Cash
Value increases, unless an increase in Cash Value also would increase the Death
Benefit under your Policy. Thus, if the asset-based charge would be higher than
the guaranteed maximum charge, further increases in your Cash Value may reduce
your current cost of insurance charge.

     The cost of insurance charge covers our anticipated mortality costs for
standard and substandard risks. We determine the current cost of insurance rates
based on our expectations as to our future mortality experience and other
factors. We may change our current asset-based cost of insurance charge, but we
guarantee that we will never charge you a cost of insurance charge higher than
the amount determined using the maximum guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown
in the Policy. We base our cost of insurance rates on the sex, issue age, Policy
Year, rating class, and history of tobacco use of the Insured. However, we issue
unisex Policies in Montana. Our cost of insurance rates are based on the 1980
Commissioners Standard Ordinary ("1980 CSO") Mortality Table based on the
Insured's sex, age last birthday, and history of tobacco use. Our cost of
insurance rates for unisex Policies will never exceed a maximum based on the
1980 CSO Table B assuming a blend of 80% male and 20% female lives.

     TAX CHARGE. For the first ten Policy Years, on each Deduction Day, we
charge a Tax Charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of the average monthly Cash
Value. The Tax Charge covers a portion of our state premium tax expenses and
certain federal income tax liability incurred as a result of the receipt of
Premium.

     We expect to recover total premium tax expenses over the life of the
Policies from the aggregate Tax Charges and the unamortized state premium tax
charge portion of the Withdrawal Charge. However, the amount of premium taxes
differs from state to state and some states have no premium tax. Accordingly,
the amount of these charges paid under your Policy may be more or less than the
premium taxes that we actually pay with respect to your Policy.

     ADMINISTRATION CHARGE. On each Deduction Day we will deduct the
Administration Charge from Cash Value. This charge will equal an annual rate of
0.35% of average monthly Cash Value for the first ten Policy Years and 0.25%
thereafter. This charge is intended to compensate us for certain administrative
expenses related to the maintenance of the Policies, accounting and
recordkeeping, and providing reports to Policy Owners.

     RECORDS MAINTENANCE CHARGE. We charge a Records Maintenance Charge of
$30.00 per year on each Policy Anniversary. If you surrender your Policy during
a Policy Year, we will deduct the full Records Maintenance Charge from your
surrender proceeds. The Records Maintenance Charge is intended to compensate us
for administrative expenses such as salaries, postage, telephone, office
equipment and periodic reports. We currently waive the Records Maintenance
Charge on a Policy, if the Cash Value is at least $50,000 on the previous Policy
Anniversary.

PORTFOLIO EXPENSES

     You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares
are held by the Subaccounts to which you allocate your Cash Value. The Separate
Account purchases shares of the Portfolios at net asset value. Each Portfolio's
net asset value reflects investment advisory fees and administrative expenses
already deducted from the Portfolio's assets. For a summary of current estimates
of these charges and expenses, see the table of Portfolio Expenses above. For
more information concerning the investment advisory fees and other charges
against the Portfolios, see the prospectuses for the Portfolios, which are
available upon request.

     We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators
of the Portfolios. Such compensation will be consistent with the services we
provide or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement and therefore may
differ between Portfolios.

<PAGE>   33

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

     If you surrender your Policy during the first nine Policy Years, we may
subtract a Withdrawal Charge from the proceeds. The Withdrawal Charge will be
calculated at the rate shown below. If you surrender your Policy, the Withdrawal
Charge will equal a percentage of your initial Premium net of all previous
withdrawal amounts on which you paid a Withdrawal Charge. The Withdrawal Charge
consists of two components: a surrender charge and an unamortized state premium
tax charge.

     The rate used to determine the Withdrawal Charge depends on the year the
withdrawal is made. The Withdrawal Charge declines to zero percent after the
ninth Policy Year. The Withdrawal Charge is assessed at the following rates:

</TABLE>

     We may also charge a Withdrawal Charge on partial withdrawals. The
Withdrawal Charge will apply to any partial withdrawal in a given Policy Year in
excess of the free withdrawal amount described below.

     Additional Premiums do not increase the amount of Withdrawal Charge you may
be required to pay. Only your initial Premium is used in our formula for
calculating Withdrawal Charges.

     The Withdrawal Charge is imposed to cover a portion of our actual premium
tax expenses and sales expenses, which include agents' sales commissions and
other sales and distribution expenses. The Unamortized Premium Tax Charge,
together with a portion of the monthly Tax Charge, is intended to recover our
state premium tax expenses. We also expect to recover total sales expenses of
the Policies over the life of the Policies. However, to the extent distribution
costs are not recovered by the Withdrawal Charge, we may make up any shortfall
from the assets of our General Account, which includes funds derived from the
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge and other fees and charges under the Policies.

FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT AND WAIVER OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

     The free withdrawal amount in a Policy Year equals the greater of:

          (a) 100% of Policy earnings not previously withdrawn; or

          (b) 10% of the Cash Value, less any prior free withdrawals since the
     beginning of that Policy Year.

     NURSING CARE WAIVER OF WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We will waive the Withdrawal
Charge if the Owner is confined to a skilled health care facility for at least
30 consecutive days. We also will waive the Withdrawal Charge after the Owner
has been released from the facility, if your request is made within 30 days of
release. This waiver is described in more detail in the Policy.

     DISABILITY WAIVER. We will waive the Withdrawal Charge if the Owner becomes
disabled after the Policy is issued and before attaining age 65 according to the
following Social Security Administration definition:

        "Inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
        any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
        expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to
        last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months."

     This waiver is described in more detail in the Policy.

                                       31
<PAGE>   34

TRANSFER FEE

     The Policy permits us to charge a transfer fee of $25 per transfer,
excluding transfers under our Automatic Dollar Cost Averaging and Automatic
Account Rebalancing programs, on each transfer after the first twelve transfers
in each Policy Year. We currently do not charge a transfer fee on any transfer.
We reserve the right to begin to charge the transfer fee in the future.

REDUCTION OF CHARGES

     We may reduce certain charges and credit additional amounts 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 Policy Owners, sales to employees or
clients of members of the Kemper group of companies, or employees and registered
representatives (and their families) of broker-dealers (or their affiliated
financial institutions) that have entered into selling group agreements with
Investors Brokerage Services, Inc., the distributor of the Policies. 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 POLICY PROVISIONS

REPORTS TO OWNERS

     We will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account and the
Subaccounts. At least annually we will send you a report which will include
information such as Premiums received, interest credited, investment experience,
and charges made since the last report. The report will also show the current
Death Benefit and Cash Value, as well as any other information required by
statute. If you ask us, we will send you an additional report at any time. We
may charge you up to $25 for this additional report. We will tell you the
current charge before we send you the report.

     In addition, we will send you the financial statements of the Portfolios
and other reports as specified in the 1940 Act. We also will mail you
confirmation notices or other appropriate notices of Policy transactions
quarterly or more frequently within the time periods specified by law. Please
give us prompt written notice of any address change. Please read your statements
and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy. Contact us promptly with
any question.

LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST

     In the absence of fraud, we may not contest the insurance coverage under
the Policy after the Policy has been in force for two years after the Issue Date
while the Insured is alive. The two year incontestability period may vary in
certain states to comply with the requirements of state insurance laws and
regulations.

     If the Policy is reinstated, a new two year contestability period will
apply from the issue date of the reinstatement and will apply only to statements
made in the application for the reinstatement.

     In issuing a Policy, we rely on your application. Your statements in that
application, in the absence of fraud, are considered representations and not
warranties. In the absence of fraud, we will not use any statement made in
connection with the Policy application to void the Policy or to deny a claim,
unless that statement is a part of the application or an amendment thereto.

SUICIDE

     If the Insured under a Single Life Policy dies by suicide, while sane or
insane, within two years from the Issue Date, the Death Benefit proceeds will be
limited to the Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals and Policy Debt.

     If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of
any reinstatement, our total liability with respect to such reinstatement will
be limited to the Premiums paid less any partial withdrawal and Policy Debt.

     If the first death under a Survivorship Policy is by suicide, within two
years of the Issue Date or date of reinstatement, whether the Insured was sane
or insane, we will reissue the Policy. The new Policy on the survivor will be a
single life permanent policy which is available at the time of reissue. The
suicide provision for the new Policy will be effective as of the original Issue
Date.

                                       32
<PAGE>   35

     If the second death is by suicide, within two years from the Issue Date,
whether the Insured is sane or insane, we will pay only the Premiums paid less
any partial withdrawals and Policy Debt. If the second death occurs within two
years after the date of reinstatement, our total liability with respect to such
reinstatement will be limited to the Premiums paid less any partial withdrawals
and Policy Debt.

MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX

     If the age and/or sex of the Insured is incorrectly stated in the
application, the Death Benefit and all Policy values will be adjusted based on
what the initial Premium would have purchased using the correct age and/or sex.

BENEFICIARY

     You name the original Beneficiary(ies) and Contingent Beneficiary(ies) in
the application for the Policy. You may change the Beneficiary or Contingent
Beneficiary at any time while the Insured(s) is alive, except irrevocable
Beneficiaries and irrevocable Contingent Beneficiaries may not be changed
without their consent.

     You must request a change of Beneficiary in writing. We will provide a form
to be signed and filed with us. Your request for a change in Beneficiary or
Contingent Beneficiary will take effect as of the date you signed the form after
we acknowledge receipt in writing. Until we acknowledge receipt of your change
instructions, we are entitled to rely on your most recent instructions in our
files. Accordingly, we are not liable for making a payment to the person shown
in our files as the Beneficiary or treating that person in any other respect as
the Beneficiary, even if instructions that we subsequently receive from you seek
to change your Beneficiaries effective as of a date before we made the payment
or took the action in question.

     If you name more than one Beneficiary, we will divide the Death Benefit
among your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If
you have not given us written instructions, we will pay the Death Benefit in
equal shares to the Beneficiaries. If one of the Beneficiaries dies before you,
we will divide the Death Benefit among the surviving Beneficiaries. If no
Beneficiary is living, the Contingent Beneficiary will be the Beneficiary. The
interest of any revocable Beneficiary is subject to the interest of any
assignee. If no Beneficiary or Contingent Beneficiary is living, the Beneficiary
is the Owner or the Owner's estate.

ASSIGNMENT

     While the Insured(s) is alive, you may assign your Policy as collateral
security. You must notify us in writing if you assign the Policy. Until we
receive notice from you, we are not liable for any action we may take or
payments we may make that may be contrary to the terms of your assignment. We
are not responsible for the validity of an assignment. Your rights and the
rights of the Beneficiary may be affected by an assignment. An assignment may
result in income tax and a ten percent federal penalty tax. You should consult
your tax adviser before assigning your Policy.

CREDITOR'S CLAIMS

     To the extent permitted by law, no benefits payable under this Policy will
be subject to the claims of your or the Beneficiary's creditors.

DIVIDENDS

     We will not pay any dividend under the Policy.

NOTICE AND ELECTIONS

     To be effective, all notices and elections under the Policy must be in
writing, signed by you, and received by us at our Home Office. Certain
exceptions may apply. Unless otherwise provided in the Policy, all notices,
requests and elections will be effective when received at our Home Office
complete with all necessary information.

MODIFICATION

     We reserve the right to modify the Policy without your express consent, in
the circumstances described in this Prospectus or as necessary to conform to
applicable law or regulation or any ruling issued by a governmental agency. The
provisions of the Policy will be construed so as to comply with the requirements
of Section 7702 of the Tax Code.

SURVIVORSHIP POLICIES

     We offer Policies on a single life and "last survivor" basis. The
Survivorship Policy operates almost identically to the Single Life Policy. The
primary difference is that the Survivorship Policy has two Insureds and the
Death Benefit is paid only upon the death of the last surviving Insured. Other
significant differences are:

          (1) the cost of insurance charge differs because we base it on the
     anticipated mortality of two Insureds and we do not pay the Death Benefit
     until both Insureds have died;

          (2) for a Survivorship Policy to qualify for simplified underwriting,
     the proposed Insureds must be husband and wife and both Insureds must meet
     our standards;

          (3) under a Survivorship Policy, provisions regarding
     incontestability, suicide, and misstatements of age or sex apply to each
     Insured; and

          (4) the Accelerated Death Benefit is only available upon the terminal
     illness of the surviving Insured, as this term is defined in the Policy.

                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     NOTE: The following discussion is based upon our understanding of current
federal income tax law applicable to life insurance policies in general. We
cannot predict the probability that any changes in those laws will be made.
Also, we do not guarantee the tax status of the Policies. You bear the complete
risk that the Policies may not be treated as "life insurance policies" under
federal income tax laws.

     In addition, this discussion does not include a detailed description of the
federal income tax consequences of the purchase of these Policies or any
discussion of special tax rules that may apply to certain purchase situations.
We also have not tried to consider any other possibly applicable state or other
tax laws, for example, the federal estate or gift tax consequences of the
Policies. You should seek tax advice concerning the effect on your personal tax
liability of the transactions permitted under the Policy, as well as any other
questions you may have concerning the tax status of the Policy or the
possibility of changes in the tax law.

TAXATION OF KILICO AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

     KILICO is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Tax
Code. The operations of the Separate Account are taxed as part of the operations
of KILICO. Investment income and realized capital gains are not taxed to the
extent that they are applied under the Policies.

     Accordingly, we do not anticipate that KILICO will incur any federal income
tax liability attributable to the operation of the Separate Account (as opposed
to the federal tax related to the receipt of Premiums under the Policies).
Therefore, we are not making any charge or provision for federal income taxes.
However, if the tax treatment of the Separate Account is changed, we may charge
the Separate Account for its share of the resulting federal income tax.

     In several states we may incur state and local taxes on the operations of
the Separate Account. We currently are not making any charge or provision for
them against the Separate Account. We do, however, use part of the Policy
charges to offset these taxes. If these taxes should be increased, we may make a
charge or provision for them against the Subaccounts. If we do so, the
investment results of the Subaccounts will be reduced.

TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY

     The Policy is structured to satisfy the definition of a life insurance
policy under the Tax Code. The Death Benefit ordinarily will be fully excluded
from the gross income of the Beneficiary. The Death Benefit will be included in
your gross estate for federal estate tax purposes if the proceeds are payable to
your estate. The Death Benefit will also be included in your estate if the
Beneficiary is not your estate, but you retained incidents of ownership in the
Policy. Examples of incidents of ownership include the right to change
Beneficiaries, to assign the Policy or revoke an assignment, and to pledge the
Policy or obtain a Policy Loan. If you own and are the Insured under a Policy
and if you transfer all incidents of ownership in the Policy more than three
years before your death, the Death Benefit will not be included in your gross
estate. State and local estate and inheritance tax consequences may also apply.

     In addition, certain transfers of the Policy or Death Benefit, either
during life or at death, to individuals (or trusts for the benefit of
individuals) two or more generations below that of the transferor may be subject
to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax.

                                       34
<PAGE>   37

     In addition, you may use the Policy in various arrangements, including
non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split-dollar
insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and
others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular
facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if you are
contemplating the use of a Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends
in part on its tax consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax
adviser regarding the tax treatment of the proposed arrangement.

     DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. Section 817(h) of the Tax Code requires that
the underlying assets of variable life insurance policies be diversified. The
Tax Code provides that a variable life insurance policy will not be treated as a
life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes for any period and any
subsequent period for which the investments are not adequately diversified. If
the Policy were disqualified for this reason, you would lose the tax deferral
advantages of the Policy and would be subject to current federal income taxes on
all earnings allocable to the Policy.

     The United States Treasury Department (the "Treasury Department") also has
issued regulations that establish diversification requirements for the
investment accounts underlying variable policies such as the Policies. These
regulations amplify the diversification requirements set forth in the Tax Code
and provide an alternative diversification test to the provision described
above.

     These diversification standards are applied to each Subaccount by looking
to the investments of the Portfolio underlying the Subaccount. One of our
criteria in selecting the Portfolios is that their investment managers intend to
manage them in compliance with these diversification requirements.

     OWNER CONTROL. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance owners
will be considered the owners, for tax purposes, of separate account assets
underlying their Policies. In those circumstances, they could be subject to
taxation on the income and gains from the separate account assets.

     In published rulings, the Internal Revenue Service has stated that a
variable insurance owner will be considered the owner of separate account
assets, if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as
the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. When the
diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that
in the future, it would provide guidance on the extent to which variable owners
could direct their investments among Subaccounts without being treated as owners
of the underlying assets of the separate account. As of the date of this
Prospectus, no such guidance has been issued. As a result, your right to
allocate Cash Values among the Subaccounts may cause you to be considered the
owner of the assets of the Separate Account. We cannot predict when or whether
the Treasury Department will issue that guidance or what position the Treasury
Department will take. In addition, although regulations are generally issued
with prospective effect, it is possible that regulations may be issued with
retroactive effect.

     The ownership rights under the Policy are similar in many respects to those
described in IRS rulings in which the owners were not deemed to own the separate
account assets. In some respects, however, they differ. For example, under the
Policy you have many more investment options to choose from than were available
under the policies involved in the published rulings, and you may be able to
transfer Cash Value among the investment options more frequently than in the
published rulings. Because of these differences, it is possible that you could
be treated as the owner, for tax purposes, of the Portfolio shares underlying
your Policy and therefore subject to taxation on the income and gains on those
shares. Moreover, it is possible that the Treasury Department's position, when
announced, may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing Policies. We
therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to
prevent you from being considered the owner for tax purposes of the underlying
assets. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated
as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes.

TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS

     In general, the amount of the Death Benefit payable under a Policy is
excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under the Tax Code. Certain
transfers of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death Benefit
being taxable.

     If the Death Benefit is not received in a lump sum and is, instead, applied
under one of the settlement options, payments generally will be prorated between
amounts attributable to the Death Benefit, which will be excludable from the
Beneficiary's income, and amounts attributable to interest (occurring after the
Insured's death), which will be includable in the Beneficiary's income.

     ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT. In general, the tax treatment of an Accelerated
Death Benefit is the same as the treatment of Death Benefits, as described
above.

                                       35
<PAGE>   38

TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD

     Under existing provisions of the Tax Code, except as described below, any
increase in your Cash Value is generally not taxable to you unless you receive
or are deemed to receive amounts from the Policy before the Insured dies. If you
surrender your Policy, the Cash Value (less any annual Records Maintenance
Charge paid upon surrender) will be includable in your income to the extent the
amount received exceeds the "investment in the policy." The "investment in the
policy" generally is the total Premiums and other consideration paid for the
Policy, less the aggregate amount received under the Policy previously to the
extent such amounts received were excludable from gross income. Whether partial
withdrawals (or other amounts deemed to be distributed) from the Policy
constitute income depends, in part, upon whether the Policy is considered a
"modified endowment contract" ("MEC") for federal income tax purposes.

POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS

     CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. In general, this Policy will
constitute a MEC unless (1) it was received in exchange for another life
insurance policy which was not a MEC, (2) no Premiums or other consideration
(other than the exchanged policy) are paid into the Policy during the first 7
Policy Years, and (3) there is no withdrawal or reduction in the Death Benefit
during the first 7 Policy Years. In addition, even if the Policy initially is
not a MEC, it may, in certain circumstances, become a MEC if there is a later
increase in benefits or any other "material change" of the Policy within the
meaning of the tax law.

     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER
MECS. Because your Policy is a MEC, withdrawals from your Policy will be treated
first as withdrawals of income and then as a recovery of Premiums. Thus, you may
realize taxable income upon a withdrawal if the Cash Value exceeds the
investment in the Policy. You may also realize taxable income when you take a
Policy Loan, because any loan (including unpaid loan interest) under the Policy
will be treated as a withdrawal for tax purposes. In addition, if you assign or
pledge any portion of the value of your Policy (or agree to assign or pledge any
portion), the assigned or pledged portion of your Cash Value will be treated as
a withdrawal for tax purposes. Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan
under a Policy which is a MEC, you should consult a tax adviser.

     PENALTY TAX. Generally, withdrawals (or the amount of any deemed
withdrawals) from a MEC are subject to a federal penalty tax equal to ten
percent of the portion of the withdrawal that is includable in income, unless
the withdrawals are made: (1) after you reach age 59 1/2, (2) because you have
become disabled (as defined in the tax law), or (3) as substantially equal
periodic payments over your life or life expectancy (or the joint lives or life
expectancies of you and your beneficiary, as defined in the tax law). Certain
other exceptions to the ten percent federal penalty tax may apply.

     Payments under our systematic withdrawal program possibly may not qualify
for the exception from federal penalty tax for "substantially equal periodic
payments" which is described above. Accordingly, this Policy may be
inappropriate for Owners who expect to take substantially equal periodic
payments prior to age 59 1/2. You should consult a qualified tax adviser before
entering into a systematic withdrawal plan.

     AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance policies which are MECs and
which are purchased by the same person from us or any of our affiliates within
the same calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one policy for purposes
of determining the amount of a withdrawal (including a deemed withdrawal) that
is includable in taxable income.

POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS

     TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If your Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal from the Policy will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of Premiums and then as income from the Policy. Thus, only the portion
of a withdrawal that exceeds the investment in the Policy immediately before the
withdrawal will be includable in taxable income.

     TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS. If your Policy is not a MEC, a loan received under
the Policy generally will be treated as indebtedness for tax purposes, rather
than a withdrawal of Cash Value. As a result, you will not realize taxable
income on any part of the loan as long as the Policy remains in force. If you
surrender your Policy, however, any outstanding loan balance will be treated as
an amount received by you as part of the Surrender Value. Accordingly, you may
be subject to taxation on the loan amount at that time. Moreover, if any portion
of your Policy Loan is a Preferred Loan described in "Policy Loans", it is
unclear whether the Internal Revenue Service would consider some or all of your
Policy Loan to be includable in your taxable income. Absent further guidance, we
will treat all Policy Loans, including Preferred Loans, as indebtedness.
Generally, you may not deduct interest paid on loans under the Policy, even if
you use the loan proceeds in your trade or business.

                                       36
<PAGE>   39

SURVIVORSHIP POLICIES

     Although we believe that the Policy, when issued as a Survivorship Policy,
meets the definition of life insurance policy under the Tax Code, the Tax Code
does not directly address how it applies to Survivorship Policies. In the
absence of final regulations or other guidance under the Tax Code regarding this
form of Policy, there is necessarily some uncertainty whether a Survivorship
Policy will meet the Tax Code's definition of a life insurance policy. If you
are considering purchasing a Survivorship Policy, you should consult a tax
adviser.

LOSS OF INTEREST DEDUCTION WHERE POLICIES ARE HELD BY OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF
CORPORATIONS, TRUSTS, ETC.

     If an entity (such as a corporation or a trust, not an individual)
purchases a Policy or is the beneficiary of a Policy issued after June 8, 1997,
a portion of the interest on indebtedness unrelated to the Policy may not be
deductible by the entity. However, this rule does not apply to a Policy owned by
an entity engaged in a trade or business which covers the life of only one
individual who is (a) a 20 percent owner of the entity, or (b) an officer,
director, or employee of the trade or business, at the time first covered by the
Policy. This rule also does not apply to a Policy owned by an entity engaged in
a trade or business which covers the joint lives of the 20 percent owner of the
entity and the owner's spouse at the time first covered by the Policy. Entities
that are considering purchasing the Policy, or that will be Beneficiaries under
a Policy, should consult a tax adviser.

TREATMENT OF MATURITY BENEFITS AND EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE

     If your Policy does not have an Extended Maturity Rider, at the Maturity
Date, the Net Surrender Value will be paid to you. Generally, the excess of the
Cash Value (less any applicable Records Maintenance Charge) over your investment
in the Policy will be includable in your taxable income at that time. If your
Policy has an Extended Maturity Rider, we believe the Policy will continue to
qualify as life insurance under the Tax Code. However, there is some uncertainty
regarding this treatment. It is possible, therefore, that you would be viewed as
constructively receiving the Surrender Value in the year in which the Insured
attains age 100 and would realize taxable income at that time, even if the
Policy proceeds were not distributed at that time.

ACTIONS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TAX LAW

     We believe that the maximum amount of Premiums we intend to permit for the
Policies will comply with the Tax Code definition of a life insurance policy. We
will monitor the amount of your Premiums, and, if your total Premiums during a
Policy Year exceed those permitted by the Tax Code, we will refund the excess
Premiums no later than 60 days after the end of the Policy Year and will pay
interest and other earnings (which will be includable in taxable income) as
required by law on the amount refunded. We reserve the right to increase the
Death Benefit (which may result in larger charges under a Policy) or to take any
other action deemed necessary to ensure the compliance of the Policy with the
federal tax definition of a life insurance contract.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

     Changing the Owner, exchanging the Policy, changing from one Death Benefit
option to another, and other changes under the Policy may have tax consequences
(other than those discussed herein) depending on the circumstances of such
change or withdrawal. Federal estate and state and local estate, inheritance and
other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary. The exchange of one life insurance
contract for another life insurance contract generally is not taxed (unless cash
is distributed or a loan is reduced or forgiven). The insured under the new
contract must be the same as the insured under the old contract. Thus, in the
case of a Survivorship Policy, the other life insurance contract involved in the
exchange must also cover the same two Insureds.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

     We will withhold and remit to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals made under a Policy, unless the Owner notifies us in
writing at or before the time of the withdrawal that he or she chooses not to
have withholding. As Owner, you will be responsible for the payment of any taxes
and early distribution penalties that may be due on the amounts received under
the Policy, whether or not you choose withholding. You may also be required to
pay penalties under the estimated tax rules, if your withholding and estimated
tax payments are insufficient to satisfy your total tax liability.

TAX ADVICE

     This summary is not a complete discussion of the tax treatment of the
Policy. You should seek tax advice from an attorney or other professional who
specializes in tax issues.

                            AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT

KILICO

     We were organized under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1947 as a
stock life insurance company. Our offices are located at 1 Kemper Drive, Long
Grove, Illinois 60049. We offer life insurance and annuity products and are
admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New
York. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation, a nonoperating
holding company. KILICO and Kemper Corporation are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Zurich Financial Services ("ZFS"). ZFS is owned by Zurich Allied A.G. and Allied
Zurich p.l.c., fifty-seven percent and forty-three percent, respectively.

     KILICO also acts as a sponsor for KILICO Variable Annuity Separate Account,
KILICO Variable Separate Account--2 and Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company
Variable Annuity Account C. The officers and employees of KILICO are covered by
a fidelity bond in the amount of $20 million.

SEPARATE ACCOUNT

     KILICO Variable Separate Account was established on January 22, 1987, as a
separate investment account under the laws of Illinois. The Separate Account
receives and invests Premiums under the Policy. The Separate Account is
registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. The SEC
does not supervise the management, investment practices or policies of the
Separate Account or KILICO.

     Benefits provided under the Policies are our obligations. Although the
assets in the Separate Account are our property, they are held separately from
our other assets and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any
other business we may conduct. Income, capital gains and capital losses, whether
or not realized, from the assets allocated to the Separate Account are credited
to or charged against the Separate Account without regard to the income, capital
gains and capital losses arising out of any other business we may conduct.

     Thirty-seven Subaccounts of the Separate Account are currently available.
Each Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the corresponding
Portfolios. We may add or delete Subaccounts in the future.

     The Separate Account purchases and redeems shares from the Portfolios at
net asset value. We redeem shares of the Portfolios as necessary to provide
benefits, to deduct Policy charges and to transfer assets from one Subaccount to
another as requested by Owners. All dividends and capital gains distributions
received by the Separate Account from a Portfolio are reinvested in that
Portfolio at net asset value and retained as assets of the corresponding
Subaccount.

SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS

     We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep those assets physically
segregated and held separate and apart from our general account assets. We
maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios.

STATE REGULATION OF KILICO

     We are subject to the laws of Illinois and regulated by the Illinois
Department of Insurance. Every year we file an annual statement with the
Department of Insurance covering our operations for the previous year and our
financial condition as of the end of the year. We are inspected periodically by
the Department of Insurance to verify our Policy liabilities and reserves. Our
books and records are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all
times. We are also subject to regulation under the insurance laws of every
jurisdiction in which we operate.

                            DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES

     Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS") serves as distributor of the
Policies. IBS is located at 1 Kemper Drive, Long Grove, Illinois 60049. IBS is
our wholly-owned subsidiary. It is registered as a broker-dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

     The Policies described in this Prospectus are sold by registered
representatives of broker-dealers or bank employees who are licensed insurance
agents appointed by us, either individually or through an incorporated insurance
agency. IBS enters into selling agreements with the unaffiliated broker-dealers
and banks whose personnel participate in the offer and sale of the Policies. In
some states, the Policies may be sold by representatives or employees of banks
which may be acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the
1934 Act, pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.

     The maximum sales compensation payable by us is not more than the
equivalent of 7.5% percent of each Premium. Trail Commissions of up to 1.0% of
Cash Value may also be paid where a lower commission rate

                                       40
<PAGE>   43

applies to Premiums. In addition, we may pay or permit other promotional
incentives, in cash, or credit or other compensation. We also may pay
asset-based expense allowances and service fees.

     The distribution agreement with IBS provides for indemnification of IBS by
KILICO and the Separate Account for liability arising out of allegedly untrue
statements in, or omissions of material fact from, the Prospectus or the
registration statement. IBS agrees to indemnify KILICO and the Separate Account
against claims arising from the conduct of IBS or unaffiliated broker-dealers
that sell Policies.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     There are no pending legal proceedings affecting the Separate Account. We
are engaged in routine law suits which, in our management's judgment, are not of
material importance to our total assets or material with respect to the Separate
Account.

                                 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 law,
have been passed upon by Frank Julian, Esq., our Associate General Counsel. The
law firm of Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson LLP, 1025 Thomas
Jefferson St., Suite 400, East Lobby, Washington, D.C. 20007-5201, serves as
special counsel to KILICO with regard to the federal securities laws.

                             REGISTRATION STATEMENT

     We have filed a registration statement with the SEC, Washington, D.C.,
under the 1933 Act, with respect to the Policies offered by this Prospectus.
This Prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the
registration statement and the exhibits filed as part of the registration
statement. You should refer to the registration statement and the exhibits for
further information concerning the Separate Account, KILICO, and the Policies.
The descriptions in this Prospectus of the Policies and other legal instruments
are summaries. You should refer to those instruments as filed for their precise
terms.

                                    EXPERTS

     The consolidated balance sheets of KILICO as of December 31, 1999 and 1998
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997 have been included herein and in the registration statement in reliance
upon the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants,
appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.

     The statements of assets and liabilities and policy owners' equity of the
KILICO Variable Separate Account as of December 31, 1999 and the related
statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes
in policy owners' equity for each of the two years then ended has been included
herein in reliance upon the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
accountants, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.

     Actuarial matters included in this Prospectus have been examined by Steven
D. Powell, FSA, as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The included financial statements of the Subaccounts of the Separate
Account do not reflect any assets attributable to the Policy, because we did not
sell the Policy during the periods covered by those financial statements.
Instead, those financial statements solely reflect assets and operations
attributable to sales of other variable life insurance contracts issued by the
Separate Account. The financial statements do not cover certain Subaccounts of
the Separate Account, because there were no assets in those Subaccounts as of
the end of the periods covered. The included financial statements for KILICO
only bear on our ability to meet our obligations under the Policy. They do not
relate to the investment performance of the assets held in the Separate Account.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company
and Policy Owners of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company's
KILICO Variable Separate Account

     In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and
policy owners' equity and the related statements of operations and changes in
policy owners' equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the subaccounts of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company's (the
"Company") KILICO Variable Separate Account, which includes the Kemper Small Cap
Growth Subaccount, Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity Subaccount, Kemper
International Subaccount, Kemper Growth Subaccount, Kemper Total Return
Subaccount, Kemper High Yield Subaccount, Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount, Kemper Money Market Subaccount (investment options within the Kemper
Variable Series, formerly the Investors Fund Series), Scudder VLIF Growth and
Income Subaccount, and Scudder VLIF International Subaccount (investment options
within the Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund), thereof at December 31, 1999,
and the results of their operations for the period presented and the changes in
their policy owners' equity for each of the two years then ended, except for the
Kemper-Dreman High Return Equity Subaccount as to which the period is March 12,
1999 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1999, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included direct
confirmation of investments owned at December 31, 1999 provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

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 an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services
("ZFS"). ZFS is owned by Zurich Allied AG and Allied Zurich p.l.c., fifty-seven
percent and forty-three percent, respectively. Zurich Allied AG is listed on the
Swiss Market Index (SMI). Allied Zurich p.l.c. is included in the FTSE-100 share
Index in London.

     The Separate Account is used to fund policies ("Policy") for the Kemper
Select variable universal life policies ("Kemper Select"), the Power V flexible
premium variable universal life policies ("Power V"), the Farmers Variable
Universal Life I flexible premium variable life policies ("Farmers Variable
Universal Life I") and the Kemper Destinations Life modified single premium
variable universal life policies ("Kemper Destinations Life"). The Separate
Account is divided into fifty-eight subaccounts options available to Policy
Owners depending upon their respective Policy. The Kemper 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 Kemper
Variable Series (formerly Investors Fund Series), an open-end diversified
management investment company. The Power V policies have twenty-three
subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners and each subaccount invests
exclusively in the shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Kemper Variable
Series, the American Skandia Trust, the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products
Fund, the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II, the Fidelity Variable
Insurance Products Fund III and the Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund (Class
B Shares), all of which are open-end diversified management investment
companies. The Farmers Variable Universal Life I policies have twelve
subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners and each subaccount invests
exclusively in the shares of a corresponding portfolio of the Kemper Variable
Series, the Janus Aspen Series, the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, the
Templeton Variable Products Series Fund (Class 2 Shares) and the Scudder
Variable Life Investment Fund (Class A Shares), all of which are open-end
diversified management investment companies. The Kemper Destinations Life
policies have thirty-seven subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners and
each subaccount invests exclusively in the shares of a corresponding portfolio
of the Kemper Variable Series, the Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund (Class
A Shares), The Alger American Fund, The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth
Fund, Inc., the Dreyfus Investment Portfolios and the Warburg Pincus Trust, all
of which are open-end diversified management investment companies.

ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 1999.

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. (Central 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
                                       52
<PAGE>   55

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.

(2) SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS

     Investments as of December 31, 1999 do not include any amounts attributable
to Kemper Destinations Life policies because sales had not commenced prior to
December 31, 1999.

     Investments, at cost, at December 31, 1999, are as follows (in thousands,
differences are due to rounding):

(2) SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
     SCUDDER VLIF INTERNATIONAL SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount invests in the
Scudder VLIF International Portfolio (Class A Shares) of the Scudder Variable
Life Investment Fund. The Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital
principally from a diversified portfolio of foreign equity securities.

(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 $101,356, $2,874,754 and $32,068 for the Kemper Select, Power V
and Farmers Variable Universal Life I policies, respectively, for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Additionally, KILICO assesses a daily charge to the
subaccounts for mortality and expense risk assumed by KILICO at an annual rate
of 0.90% of assets.

     Proceeds payable on the surrender of a Policy are reduced by the amount of
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.

     A state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% is deducted from each premium
payment under the Power V and Farmers Variable Universal Life I policies 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. Under Section 848 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), the receipt of premium income by a life insurance company requires the
deferral of a portion of the acquisition cost over a maximum of a 120 month
period. The effect of Section 848 for KILICO is an acceleration of income
recognition over a deferral of the associated deductions for tax purposes; this
is referred to as deferred acquisition cost or, the "DAC tax". As compensation
for this accelerated liability, a DAC tax charge of 1.00% of each premium dollar
is deducted from the premium by KILICO under the Power V and Farmers Variable
Universal Life I policies before investment of a Policy Owner's funds into the
Separate Account. Under the Kemper Destinations Life policies, for the first ten
policy years, a tax charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of the average
monthly cash value is assessed against the policy. The tax charge covers a
portion of our state premium tax expense and a certain Federal income tax
liability incurred as a result of the receipt of premium.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and
subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedules listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction
with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

            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"). Kemper and the Company are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Zurich Financial Services ("ZFS" or "Zurich"). ZFS is owned by Zurich Allied AG
and Allied Zurich p.l.c., fifty-seven percent and forty-three percent,
respectively. Zurich Allied AG is listed on the Swiss Market Index. Allied
Zurich p.l.c. is included in the FTSE-100 Share Index in London.

     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 1998 and 1997
consolidated financial statements in order for them to conform to the 1999
presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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 goodwill, 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.

GOODWILL

     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,
1999, the Company believes that no such adjustment is necessary.

     In December of 1997, the Company changed its amortization period from
twenty-five years 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.

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.

     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 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 accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income
tax. This adjustment increased the value of business acquired by $6.0 million as
of December 31, 1999 and decreased the value of business acquired by $7.2
million as of December 31, 1998. Accumulated other comprehensive income
increased by approximately $3.9 million as of December 31, 1999 due to this
adjustment and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income by $4.7 million
as of December 31, 1998.

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.

     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.

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.

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 accumulated other
comprehensive

income, 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 10.0 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 2.5 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 7.1
percent.

GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS

     The Company is liable for guaranty fund assessments related to certain
unaffiliated insurance companies that have become insolvent during the years
1999 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.

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.

     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 reserves and write-downs, include notes
receivable from real estate ventures and investments in real estate ventures,
adjusted for the equity in the operating income or loss of such ventures. Real
estate reserves are established when declines in collateral values, estimated in
light of current economic conditions, indicate a likelihood of loss.

     Investments in policy loans and other invested assets, consisting primarily
of venture capital investments and a leveraged lease, are carried primarily at
cost.

     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
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 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 Company files a separate Federal income tax return. 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. The
Company paid federal income taxes of $83.8 million, $126.0 million and $29.0
million directly to the United States Treasury Department during 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

(3) INVESTED ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME

     The Company is carrying its fixed maturity investment portfolio at
estimated fair value as fixed maturities are considered available for sale. The
carrying value of fixed maturities compared with amortized cost, adjusted for
other-than-temporary declines in value, were as follows:

     Proceeds from sales of investments in fixed maturities prior to maturity
were $1,269.3 million, $882.6 million and $633.9 million during 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Gross gains of $7.9 million, $10.1 million and $3.1 million
and gross losses of $17.7 million, $8.0 million and $13.7 million were realized
on sales and write-downs of fixed maturities in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Excluding agencies of the U.S. government, there were no
individual investments that exceeded ten percent of stockholder's equity at
December 31, 1999.

     At December 31, 1999, securities carried at approximately $6.2 million were
on deposit with governmental agencies as required by law.

     Upon default or indication of potential default by an issuer of fixed
maturity securities, the 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 $151.6 million real estate portfolio at December 31, 1999
consists of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real
estate-related investments. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, total impaired real

     Impaired loans without reserves include loans in which the deficit in
equity investments in real estate-related investments is considered in
determining reserves and write-downs. The Company had an average balance of

respectively. Cash payments received on impaired loans are generally applied to
reduce the outstanding loan balance.

(4) UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEES

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998 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, 1999 and 1998, the Company's net equity investment in
unconsolidated investees amounted to $0.9 million and $1.2 million,
respectively. The Company's share of net income related to such unconsolidated
investees amounted to $155 thousand, $241 thousand and $835 thousand in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

(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 20.0 percent of the Company's investment-grade fixed
maturities at December 31, 1999 were mortgage-backed securities, down from 28.0
percent at December 31, 1998, due to sales and paydowns during 1999. 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 16.8 percent and 15.4 percent of the Company's
investment-grade fixed maturities at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
consisted of corporate asset-backed securities. The majority of the Company's
investments in asset-backed securities were backed by home equity loans (24.0%),
commercial mortgage-backed securities (22.8%), manufactured housing loans
(12.5%), other commercial assets (11.3%) and collateralized loan and bond
obligations (10.6%).

     The Company's real estate portfolio is distributed by geographic location
and property type. The geographic distribution of a majority of the real estate
portfolio as of December 31, 1999 was as follows: California (36.8%), Hawaii
(13.6%), Washington (10.9%) and Colorado (10.1%). The property type distribution
of a majority of the real estate portfolio as of December 31, 1999 was as
follows: hotels (36.3%), land (36.1%) and residential (13.5%).

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
     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. 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.

     Slightly more than 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.

     At December 31, 1999, 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 $63.9 million, or
42.2 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. The Nesbitt ventures
consist of nine hotel properties, one office building and one retail property.
At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any Nesbitt-related
off-balance-sheet legal funding commitments outstanding.

     At December 31, 1999, 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 $55.4
million, or 36.5 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. Kemper's
interest in the MLP is 75.0 percent at December 31, 1999. Loans to the MLP were
placed on non-accrual status at the beginning of 1999 due to management's desire
not to increase book value of the MLP over net realizable value, as interest on
these loans has historically been added to principal. At December 31, 1999,
MLP-related commitments accounted for approximately $0.1 million of the
Company's off-balance-sheet legal commitments.

     The remaining significant real estate-related investments amounted to $20.7
million at December 31, 1999 and consisted of various zoned and unzoned
residential and commercial lots located in Hawaii. Due to certain negative
zoning restriction developments in January 1997 and a continuing economic slump
in Hawaii, the Company has placed these real estate-related investments on
nonaccrual status as of December 31, 1996. The Company is currently pursuing the
zoning of all remaining unzoned properties, as well as pursuing steps to sell
all remaining zoned properties. However, due to the state of Hawaii's economy,
which has lagged behind the economic expansion of most of the rest of the United
States, the Company anticipates that it could be several additional years until
it completely disposes of all of its investments in Hawaii. At December 31,
1999, off-balance sheet legal commitments related to Hawaiian properties totaled
$4.0 million.

     At December 31, 1999, 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. 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, 1999.

</TABLE>

     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 unrealized losses on investments to
a realizable amount. This amount is based on the evidence available and
management's judgment. 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 tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the Company's net deferred federal tax assets or liabilities were as follows:

     The net deferred tax assets relate primarily to unearned revenue and the
DAC Tax associated with $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion of new and renewal sales
in 1999 and 1998, respectively, from a non-registered individual and group
variable bank-owned life insurance contract ("BOLI"). 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.

     The tax returns through the year 1993 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 1994 through 1996 are
currently under examination by the IRS.

(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company received capital contributions from Kemper of $4.3 million and
$45.0 million during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company paid cash
dividends of $115.0 million, $95.0 million and $29.3 million to Kemper during
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     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, 1999 and 1998, joint venture mortgage loans
totaled $67.2 million and $65.8 million, respectively, and during 1999, 1998 and
1997, the Company earned interest income on these joint venture loans of $0.6
million, $6.8 million and $7.5 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") 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 1999 and 1998, expenses allocated to the Company from SKI amounted to $17
thousand and $43 thousand, respectively. During 1997, expenses allocated to the
Company from SKI and KSvC amounted to $114 thousand. The Company also paid to
SKI investment management fees of $1.8 million, $3.1 million and $3.5 million
during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, expenses allocated to the
Company from FKLA during 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $34.1 million, $35.5
million and $30.0 million, respectively. The Company also paid to Kemper real
estate subsidiaries fees of $1.0 million, $1.5 million and $2.2 million in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, related to the management of the Company's real
estate portfolio.

(8) REINSURANCE

     As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the reinsurance recoverable related to
fixed-rate annuity liabilities ceded to an affiliate amounted to $309.7 million
and $344.8 million, respectively.

     In 1996, the Company assumed, on a yearly renewable term basis, term life
insurance from FKLA. Premiums assumed during 1999 under the terms of the treaty
amounted to $21.3 million and the face amount which remained outstanding at
December 31, 1999 amounted to $10.4 billion.

     Effective January 1, 1997, the Company ceded 90 percent of all new direct
life insurance premiums to outside reinsurers. Life reserves ceded to outside
reinsurers on the Company's direct business amounted to approximately $595
thousand and $413 thousand as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     During December 1997, the Company entered into a funds withheld reinsurance
agreement with a Zurich affiliated company, Zurich Insurance Company, Bermuda
Branch ("ZICBB"), formerly ZC Life Reinsurance Limited. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Company ceded, on a yearly renewable term basis, 90 percent of
the net amount at risk (death benefit payable to the insured less the insured's
separate account cash surrender value) related to BOLI, which is held in the
Company's separate accounts. As consideration for this reinsurance coverage, the
Company cedes separate account fees (cost of insurance charges) to ZICBB and
retains a portion of such funds under the terms of the reinsurance agreement in
a funds withheld account which is included as a component of benefits and funds
payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During 1998, the
Company modified the reinsurance agreement to increase the reinsurance from
ninety percent to one hundred percent.

</TABLE>

     The Company has a funds withheld account ("FWA") supporting reserve credits
on reinsurance ceded on the BOLI product. Amendments to the reinsurance
contracts during 1998 changed the methodology used to determine increases to the
FWA. A substantial portion of the FWA was marked-to-market based predominantly
upon the total return of the Governmental Bond Division of the KILICO Variable
Series I Separate Account. During 1998, the Company recorded a $2.5 million
increase to the FWA related to this mark-to-market. In November 1998, to
properly match revenue and expenses, the Company had also placed assets
supporting the FWA in a segmented portion of its General Account. This portfolio
was classified as "trading" under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115 ("FAS 115") at December 31, 1998 and through November 30, 1999. FAS 115
mandates that assets held in a trading account be valued at fair value, with
changes in fair value flowing through the income statement as realized capital
gains and losses. During 1998, the Company recorded a realized capital gain of
$2.8 million upon transfer of these assets from "available for sale" to the
trading portfolio as required by FAS 115. In addition, the Company recorded
realized capital losses of $7.3 million and $0.2 million related to the changes
in fair value of this portfolio during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Due to a change in the reinsurance strategy related to the BOLI product,
effective December 1, 1999, the Company no longer marked-to-market a portion of
the FWA liability and therefore no longer designated the related portion of
assets as "trading". As a result, changes in fair value to the FWA and the
assets supporting the FWA no longer flow through the Company's operating
results.

(9) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

     FKLA sponsors a health and welfare benefit plan that provides insurance
benefits covering substantially all eligible, active and retired employees of
FKLA and their covered dependents and beneficiaries. 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 $1.2 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

     The discount rate used in determining the allocated postretirement benefit
obligation was 8.0 percent and 7.0 percent for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
assumed health care trend rate used was based on projected experience for 1999,
7.2 percent for 2000, gradually declining to 5.6 percent by the year 2004 and
gradually declining 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, 1999 and 1998 by $190 thousand and $312 thousand,
respectively.

(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 nor 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.

(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

     At December 31, 1999, the Company had future legal loan commitments and
stand-by financing agreements totaling $29.8 million to support the financing
needs of various real estate investments. To the extent these arrangements are
called upon, amounts loaned would be collateralized 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. 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

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
significant portion of the Company's financial instruments are carried at fair
value. 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 sheets 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 in estimating the fair value of real estate due to the lack
of a liquid quotable market.

     OTHER LOANS AND INVESTMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheets 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 1999 and 1998 to be 4.78 percent and 4.75 percent,
respectively, while the assumed average market crediting rate was 5.0 percent in
both 1999 and 1998.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

(15) OPERATING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("FAS 131"), DISCLOSURES
ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. FAS 131 established
standards for how to report information about operating segments. It also
established standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. The Company adopted FAS 131 as of December
31, 1998 and the impact of implementation did not affect the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In the
initial year of adoption, FAS 131 requires comparative information for earlier
years to be restated, unless impracticable to do so.

     The Company, FKLA, Zurich Life Insurance Company of America, ("ZLICA"), and
Fidelity Life Association ("FLA"), a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, owned by its
policyholders, operate under the trade name Zurich Kemper Life. For purposes of
this operating segment disclosure, Zurich Kemper Life will also include the
operations of Zurich Direct, Inc., an affiliated direct marketing life insurance
agency and excludes FLA, as it is owned by its policyholders.

     Zurich Kemper Life is segregated by Strategic Business Unit ("SBU"). The
SBU concept employed by ZFS has each SBU concentrate on a specific customer
market. The SBU is the focal point of Zurich Kemper Life, because it is at the
SBU level that Zurich Kemper Life can clearly identify customer segments and
then work to understand and satisfy the needs of each customer. The
contributions of Zurich Kemper Life's SBUs to consolidated revenues, operating
results and certain balance sheet data pertaining thereto, are shown in the
following tables on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

     Zurich Kemper Life is segregated into the Life Brokerage, Financial,
Retirement Solutions Group ("RSG") and Direct SBUs. The SBUs are not managed at
the legal entity level, but rather at the Zurich Kemper Life level.

(15) OPERATING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Zurich Kemper Life's SBUs cross legal entity lines, as certain similar products
are sold by more than one legal entity. The vast majority of the Company's
business is derived from the Financial and RSG SBUs.

     Each SBU's revenue is derived from geographically dispersed areas as Zurich
Kemper Life is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states except New
York. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, Zurich Kemper Life did not derive net revenue
from one customer that exceeded 10 percent of the total revenue of Zurich Kemper
Life.

     The principal products and markets of Zurich Kemper Life's SBUs are as
follows:

     LIFE BROKERAGE: The Life Brokerage SBU develops low cost term and universal
life insurance, as well as fixed annuities, to market through independent
agencies and national marketing organizations.

     FINANCIAL: The Financial SBU focuses on a wide range of products that
provide for the accumulation, distribution and transfer of wealth and primarily
includes variable and fixed annuities, variable universal life and bank-owned
life insurance. These products are distributed to consumers through financial
intermediaries such as banks, brokerage firms and independent financial
planners. Institutional business includes BOLI and funding agreements (included
in FKLA).

     RSG: The RSG SBU has a sharp focus on its target customer. This SBU markets
variable annuities to K-12 schoolteachers, administrators, and healthcare
workers, along with college professors and certain employees of selected
non-profit organizations. This target market is eligible for what the IRS
designates as retirement-oriented savings or investment plans that qualify for
special tax treatment.

     DIRECT: The Direct SBU is a direct marketer of basic, low-cost term life
insurance through various marketing media.

     Summarized financial information for ZKL's SBU's are as follows:
