FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUED BY
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
THROUGH ITS KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
HOME OFFICE: 1 KEMPER DRIVE, LONG GROVE, ILLINOIS 60049 (800) 321-9313
This Prospectus describes a Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy
("Policy") offered by Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("we" or
"KILICO"). The Policy provides life insurance and accumulates variable Cash
Value. Policy benefits depend upon the investment experience of the KILICO
Variable Separate Account. Generally, Policy premiums are flexible.
The Policy is "life insurance" for federal tax purposes. If the Policy is a
modified endowment contract, different tax rules apply to distributions. See
"Federal Tax Matters", page 22 for a discussion of laws that affect the tax
treatment of the Policy.
You have the following choices for allocating premium:
- the Fixed Account, which accrues interest at our guaranteed rate,
and
- the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, which invest in portfolios
of underlying mutual funds.
The following portfolios of underlying mutual funds are currently available
under the Policy:
- KEMPER VARIABLE SERIES
- Kemper Money Market
- Kemper Total Return
- Kemper High Yield
- Kemper Growth
- Kemper Government Securities
- Kemper International
- Kemper Small Cap Growth
- AMERICAN SKANDIA TRUST
- AST Alliance Growth and Income (formerly AST Lord Abbett Growth
and Income)
- AST JanCap Growth
- AST American Century International Growth II (formerly AST T. Rowe
Price International Equity)
- AST T. Rowe Price Asset Allocation
- AST INVESCO Equity Income
- AST PIMCO Total Return Bond
- AST PIMCO Limited Maturity Bond
- AST Neuberger Berman Mid-Cap Growth
- FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND

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

SUMMARY
This section summarizes this Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus.
You should refer to the heading "Definitions" for the meaning of certain terms.
If states require variations, they appear in supplements attached to this
Prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy. Unless otherwise indicated, this
Prospectus describes an in force Policy with no loans.
You pay a premium for life insurance coverage on the Insured. Generally,
you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. The Policy provides
for a Surrender Value which is payable if the Policy is terminated during an
Insured's lifetime. The Death Benefit and Cash Value of the Policy may increase
or decrease to reflect investment experience. Cash Value is not guaranteed. If
the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy charges, the Policy will lapse
unless an additional premium payment or loan repayment is made. The Policy will
remain in force during the guarantee period if the premiums paid, minus
withdrawals and Debt, are at least equal to the guarantee premiums. (See "The
Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account Value," page 9,
"Charges and Deductions," page 15, and "Policy Benefits and Rights," page 11.)
A Policy may be issued as or become a modified endowment contract as a
result of a material change or reduction in benefits as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code. The Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if excess
premiums are paid. If the Policy is treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be included in your federal gross income (See
"Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary. The Policy is not comparable to a systematic investment plan of a
mutual fund.
POLICY BENEFITS
CASH VALUE. Cash Value reflects the amount and frequency of premium
payments, the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts, any values in
the Fixed Account and Loan Account, and Policy charges. You bear the entire
investment risk on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. We do not
guarantee Separate Account Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash Value,"
page 13.)
You may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the Surrender Value. The
Surrender Value is the Cash Value minus surrender charges and outstanding Debt.
Partial withdrawals are available subject to restrictions. (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 15.)
POLICY LOANS. You may borrow up to 90% of Cash Value minus surrender
charges. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. Interest is charged at an
effective annual rate of 4.50% in the first nine Policy Years and 3.00%
thereafter. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
When a loan is made, a portion of Cash Value equal to the loan amount is
transferred from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account (pro rata, unless
you request otherwise) to the Loan Account. We credit 3% annual interest to Cash
Value held in the Loan Account. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy Loans,"
page 14.)
If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is treated as a
taxable distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 22.)
DEATH BENEFITS. An in force Policy pays a death benefit upon the death of
the Insured. The Policy has two death benefit options. Under Option A, the death
benefit is the Specified Amount stated in the Policy Specifications. Under
Option B, the death benefit is the Specified Amount stated in the Policy
Specifications plus the Cash Value. The death benefit is never less than the
multiple of Cash Value specified in Appendix B. The death benefit payable is
reduced by any Debt. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Death Benefits," page
11.)
PREMIUMS
The amount and frequency of premium payments are flexible. You specify a
Planned Premium on the application. However, you are not required to make the
Planned Premiums, and, subject to certain restrictions, may make premium
payments in any amount and at any frequency. The amount, frequency, and period
of time over which you pay premiums affects whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium payment
is $50. Other minimums apply for other payment modes.
2
<PAGE> 9
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover all Policy charges
for the Policy to remain in force. A Policy will remain in force during the
guarantee period if premiums paid, less withdrawals and Debt, equal or exceed
the sum of the guarantee premiums. (See "The Policy -- Premiums," page 9.)
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The portion of the premium available for allocation
equals the premium paid less applicable charges. You indicate in the application
the percentages of premium to be allocated among the Subaccounts of the Separate
Account and the Fixed Account. The Policy currently offers twenty-two
Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a designated portfolio of one of
the Funds. An additional Subaccount is offered on a very limited basis. (See
"The Funds," page 5 and "The Policy -- Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 9.)
The initial premium, minus applicable charges, is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount on the day after receipt. On the Trade Date, the
Separate Account Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions in
the application. (See "The Policy -- Policy Issue," page 9.)
TRANSFERS. Generally, you may transfer Separate Account Value among the
Subaccounts once every fifteen days. One annual transfer is permitted between
the Fixed Account and the Subaccounts. (See "The Policy -- Allocation of
Premiums and Separate Account Value," page 9.)

availability of an additional portfolio of American Skandia Trust, see "The
Funds," page 5, the Funds' prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus, and
Statements of Additional Information available from us upon request.
CHARGES
We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. In addition, we deduct a charge of 1%
of each premium payment to compensate us for corporate income tax liability.
(See Charges and Deductions--Deductions from Premiums, page 15.) We currently do
not deduct any other charges from premium or the Separate Account for federal,
state or other taxes. Should we determine that these taxes apply, we may make
deductions from the Separate Account to pay those taxes. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 22.)
We will deduct a charge from Cash Value in each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Processing Date for the cost of
life insurance coverage. In addition, we deduct an asset charge, at an annual
rate of .90%, from each Subaccount on a daily basis for our assumption of
mortality and expense risks. (See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance
Charge and Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," pages 15 and 16, respectively.)
On each Monthly Processing Date, we deduct from Cash Value a $5 per month
administrative expense charge. (See "Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Administrative Charge," page 16.)
We deduct a surrender charge if the Policy is surrendered or the Cash Value
is applied under a Settlement Option prior to the 15th Policy Year (or the 15th
Policy Year following an increase in Specified Amount). (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 15.)
You indirectly bear the annual Fund operating expenses of the Portfolios in
which the Subaccounts invest. These may include management fees, 12b-1 fees and
other expenses. (See "Charges and Deductions--Charges Against the Funds," page
17.)
TAX TREATMENT UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW
Under existing tax law, any increase in Cash Value is generally not taxable
until a distribution occurs through a withdrawal or surrender. Generally,
distributions are not included in income until the amount of the distributions
exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy. If the Policy is a modified endowment
contract, a loan is also treated as a distribution. Generally, distributions
from a modified endowment contract (including loans) are included in income to
the extent the Cash Value exceeds premiums paid. A change of owners, an
assignment, a loan or a surrender of the Policy may have tax consequences.
Death Benefits payable under the Policy are generally excludable from the
gross income of the Beneficiary. As a result, the Beneficiary would not be
subject to income tax on the Death Benefit. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page
22.)
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
You may examine a Policy and return it for a refund during the Free-Look
Period. The length of the Free-Look Period depends on the state where the Policy
is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date you receive the
Policy. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Free-Look Period and Exchange Rights,"
page 15.)
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES, SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS
Tables in Appendix A illustrate Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits. These illustrations are based on Policy charges and hypothetical
assumed rates of return for the Separate Account. The Separate Account's
investment experience will differ, and actual Policy values will be higher or
lower than those illustrated.

KILICO AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
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.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") was established
as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate Account
receives and invests net premiums under the Policy. In addition, the Separate
Account may receive and invest net premiums for other variable life insurance
policies offered by KILICO.
The Separate Account is administered and accounted for as part of our
general business. The income, capital gains or capital losses of the Separate
Account are credited to or charged against Separate Account assets, without
regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses of any other separate
account or any other business we conduct. The Policy benefits are our
obligations.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). However, the Commission does not supervise
the management, investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or
KILICO.
The Policy currently offers twenty-two Subaccounts. An additional
Subaccount is offered on a very limited basis. (See "The Funds" and "The
Policy -- Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account Value.")
Additional Subaccounts may be added in the future. Not all Subaccounts may
be available in all jurisdictions or under all Policies.
THE FUNDS
The Separate Account invests in shares of the Kemper Variable Series,
American Skandia Trust, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, Fidelity
Variable Insurance Products Fund II, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
III and Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund. Each is a series type mutual fund
registered as an open-end management investment company. The Commission does not
supervise their management, investment practices or policies. The Funds provide
investment vehicles for variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
Shares of the Funds currently are sold only to insurance company separate
accounts and certain qualified retirement plans. In addition to the Separate
Account, shares of the Funds may be sold to variable life insurance and variable
annuity separate accounts of insurance companies not affiliated with KILICO. It
is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable life
insurance separate accounts of companies unaffiliated with KILICO, or for
variable life insurance separate accounts, variable annuity separate accounts
and qualified retirement plans to invest simultaneously in the Funds. Currently,
we do not foresee disadvantages to variable life insurance owners, variable
annuity owners or qualified retirement plans. The Funds have an obligation to
monitor events for material conflicts between owners and determine what action,
if any, should be taken. In addition, if we believe that a Fund's response to
any of those events or conflicts insufficiently protects Owners, we will take
appropriate action on our own.
The Separate Account invests in the portfolios of the Funds. The assets of
each portfolio are held separate from the assets of the other portfolios, and
each portfolio has its own distinct investment objective and policies. Each
portfolio operates as a separate investment fund, and the income, gains or
losses of one portfolio generally have no effect on the investment performance
of any other portfolio.

CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the shares held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the portfolios
and to substitute shares of another portfolio or of another investment company,
if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in
our judgment further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. We may also eliminate or
combine one or more subaccounts, transfer assets, or substitute one subaccount
for another subaccount, if, in our discretion, marketing, tax or investment
conditions warrant. We will not substitute any shares attributable to an Owner's
interest in a Subaccount without notice to the Owner and the Commission's prior
approval, if required. Nothing contained in this Prospectus shall prevent the
Separate Account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of
policies, or from permitting a conversion between series or classes of policies
on the basis of requests made by Owners.

<PAGE> 14
We also reserve the right to establish additional subaccounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or
in shares of another investment company. New subaccounts may be established
when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
New subaccounts may be made available to existing Owners as we determine.
If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting
interests under the Policy, the Separate Account may be:
- operated as a management company under the 1940 Act;
- deregistered under that Act in the event such registration is no
longer required; or
- combined with our other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by
law, we may also transfer assets of the Separate Account to another
separate account, or to the General Account.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
AMOUNTS ALLOCATED OR TRANSFERRED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT ARE PART OF OUR
GENERAL ACCOUNT, SUPPORTING INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE
FIXED ACCOUNT ARE NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT"),
AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED
ACCOUNT NOR ANY FIXED ACCOUNT INTERESTS GENERALLY ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE 1933 OR 1940 ACTS. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE COMMISSION
HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE FIXED
ACCOUNT. STATEMENTS REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE
GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
Under the Fixed Account Option, we pay a fixed interest rate for stated
periods. This Prospectus describes only the aspects of the Policy involving the
Separate Account, unless we refer to fixed accumulation and settlement options.
We guarantee the interest rate credited to the Fixed Account will be at
least 3% annually. At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of 3%. We
reserve the right to change the rate of excess interest credited. We also
reserve the right to declare different rates of excess interest depending on
when amounts are allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. As a result,
amounts at any designated time may be credited with a different rate of excess
interest than the rate previously credited to such amounts and to amounts
allocated or transferred at any other designated time.

THE POLICY
POLICY ISSUE
Before we issue a Policy, we must receive a completed application and a
full initial premium at our home office. We ordinarily issue a Policy only for
Insureds Age 1 through 75 who supply satisfactory evidence of insurability.
Acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting requirements. If we
decline an application, we will refund the Cash Value in the Kemper Money Market
Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and deductions against
premiums.
After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to you,
insurance coverage begins as of the Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
PREMIUMS
We must receive premiums at our home office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks must be made payable to KILICO.
PLANNED PREMIUMS. You specify a Planned Premium payment on the application
that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified period of time.
However, you are not required to pay Planned Premiums.
The minimum monthly premium is $50. Other minimums are: single premium
$5,000; annual $600; semi-annual $300; quarterly $150. The amount, frequency and
period of time over which you pay premiums may affect whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract. Accordingly, variations from
Planned Premiums may cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract,
and therefore subject to different tax treatment from conventional life
insurance contracts for certain pre-death distributions (See "Federal Tax
Matters".)
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the Policy's Surrender
Value. Even if Planned Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse any time
Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the current monthly deductions and a
grace period expires without sufficient payment. (See "Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement.")
A guarantee period and a monthly guarantee premium are specified in the
Policy Specifications. The guarantee period ends on the third Policy
anniversary. During the guarantee period, the Policy remains in force and no
grace period will begin, provided that the total premiums received, minus any
withdrawals and any Debt, equals or exceeds the monthly guarantee premium times
the number of months since the Policy Date, including the current month.
The full initial premium is the only premium required to be paid under a
Policy. However, additional premiums may be necessary to keep the Policy in
force. (See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.") We may reject or
limit any premium payment below the current minimum premium amount, or that
would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium. We may
return all or a portion of a premium payment if it would disqualify the Policy
as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
Certain charges are deducted from each premium payment. (See "Charges and
Deductions.") The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, is
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account
Value."
POLICY DATE. The Policy Date is used to determine Policy Years and Monthly
Processing Dates. The Policy Date is the date that insurance coverage takes
effect. If this date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the Policy Date will
be the first of the following month.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The initial net premium is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value remains in the Kemper Money
Market Subaccount until the Trade Date. On the Trade Date, the Separate Account
Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated to the Subaccounts and
the Fixed Account as specified in the application. Additional premiums received
will be allocated as specified in the application or in later written
instructions received from you. However, effective February 14, 2000, you may
not allocate premium payments to the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth Subaccount
unless you authorized allocations through bank drafting on or before February
14, 2000. If so, you may continue pre-authorized allocations into the AST Janus
Small-Cap Growth Subaccount, but you may not make any changes, other than to
discontinue allocations into the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth Subaccount. The
minimum amount
9
<PAGE> 16
of any premium that may be allocated to a Subaccount is $50. Cash Value may be
allocated to a total of 19 Subaccounts at any given time.
The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. You bear the entire investment risk.
TRANSFERS. After the Trade Date, Separate Account Value may be transferred
among the Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account. However, effective February
14, 2000, you may not make transfers into the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth
Subaccount unless you authorized transfers through Automatic Asset Reallocation
on or before February 14, 2000. Otherwise, these transfers are limited to one
transfer every fifteen days. All transfers made during a business day are
treated as one transfer.
Fixed Account Value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of Fixed Account Value may be made once each Policy Year in the thirty
day period following the end of a Policy Year.
Transfer requests must be in writing in a form acceptable to us, or by
telephone authorization under forms we authorize. (See "General
Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.") The minimum partial transfer amount
is $500. No partial transfer may be made if the value of your remaining interest
in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are to be transferred,
would be less than $500 after the transfer. We may waive these minimums for
reallocations under established third party asset allocation programs. Transfers
are based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined following our receipt
of valid, complete transfer instructions. We may suspend, modify or terminate
the transfer provision. We reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. We disclaim all liability if we follow in good faith instructions
given in accordance with our procedures, including requests for personal
identifying information, that are designed to limit unauthorized use of the
privilege. Therefore, you bear the risk of loss in the event of a fraudulent
telephone transfer.
If you authorize a third party to transact transfers on your behalf, we
will reallocate the Cash Value pursuant to the authorized asset allocation
program. However, we do not offer or participate in any asset allocation program
and we take no responsibility for any third party asset allocation program. We
may suspend or cancel acceptance of a third party's instructions at any time and
may restrict the investment options available for transfer under third party
authorizations.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. You may elect to have transfers made
automatically among the Subaccounts on an annual or a quarterly basis so that
Cash Value is reallocated to match the percentage allocations in your predefined
premium allocation elections. Transfers under this program are not subject to
the $500 minimum transfer limitations. An election to participate in the
automatic asset reallocation program must be in writing on our form and returned
to our home office. Transfers involving the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth
Subaccount are not available under this program unless you authorized the
transfers on or before February 14, 2000. If so, you may continue pre-authorized
transfers into and out of the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth Subaccount, but you may
not make any changes, other than to discontinue transfers into and out of the
AST Janus Small-Cap Growth Subaccount.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. The Policy will lapse when the Surrender Value is insufficient to
cover the current monthly deductions and a grace period expires without a
sufficient payment. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
The grace period is 61 days. The grace period begins when we send notice
that the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions. If we
do not receive a premium payment or loan repayment during the grace period
sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months, the Policy will lapse
and terminate without value.
If payment is received within the grace period, the premium or loan
repayment will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in
accordance with current allocation instructions. Amounts over and above the
amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be paid as additional premiums, to the
extent permissible. (See "The Policy--Premiums.")
We will not accept any payment causing the total premium payment to exceed
the maximum payment permitted for life insurance under the guideline premium
limits. However, you may voluntarily repay a portion of Debt to avoid lapse. You
may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments. (See "Federal Tax
Matters.")
The death benefit payable during the grace period will be the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to the grace period, less any Debt and any unpaid
monthly deductions.
10
<PAGE> 17
REINSTATEMENT. If a Policy lapses because of insufficient Surrender Value
to cover the monthly deductions, and it has not been surrendered for its
Surrender Value, it may be reinstated at any time within three years after the
date of lapse. Tax consequences may affect the decision to reinstate.
Reinstatement is subject to:
- receipt of evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
- payment of a minimum premium sufficient to cover monthly deductions
for the grace period and to keep the Policy in force three months; and
- payment or reinstatement of any Debt which existed at the date of
termination of coverage.
The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy is the Monthly Processing
Date that coincides with or next follows the date we approve the application for
reinstatement. Suicide and incontestability provisions apply from the effective
date of reinstatement.
POLICY BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
DEATH BENEFITS
While the Policy is in force (see "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement--Lapse,"
above), the death benefit is based on the death benefit option, the Specified
Amount and the table of death benefit percentages applicable at the time of
death. The death benefit proceeds equal the death benefit minus any Debt and
minus any monthly deductions due during the grace period.
You select in the application one of two death benefit options: Option A or
Option B. Subject to certain restrictions, you can change the death benefit
option selected. So long as the Policy remains in force, the death benefit under
either option will never be less than the Specified Amount.
You choose the Specified Amount on the application. The Specified Amount is
stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified Amount is $50,000.
OPTION A. Under Option A, the death benefit equals the Specified Amount or,
if greater, the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Insured dies) multiplied by a death benefit percentage. The
death benefit percentages vary according to the Insured's age. The death benefit
percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for older
Insureds. In setting the death benefit percentages, we seek to ensure that the
Policy will qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment. A table showing
the death benefit percentages is in the Appendix B to this Prospectus and in the
Policy.
OPTION B. Under Option B, the death benefit equals the Specified Amount
plus the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during
which the Insured dies) or, if greater, the Cash Value multiplied by a death
benefit percentage. The specified percentage is the same as that used in
connection with Option A. The death benefit under Option B always varies as Cash
Value varies.
EXAMPLES OF OPTIONS A AND B. The following examples demonstrate the
determination of death benefits under Options A and B. The examples show three
Policies--Policies I, II, and III--with the same Specified Amount, but different
Cash Values and assume that the Insured is Age 35 at the time of death and that
there is no outstanding Debt.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY I POLICY II POLICY III
-------- --------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Specified Amount.......................... $100,000 $100,000 $100,000
Cash Value on Date of Death............... $ 25,000 $ 50,000 $ 75,000
Death Benefit Percentage.................. 250% 250% 250%
Death Benefit Under Option A.............. $100,000 $125,000 $187,500
Death Benefit Under Option B.............. $125,000 $150,000 $187,500
</TABLE>
Under Option A, the death benefit for Policy I equals $100,000 since the
death benefit is the greater of the Specified Amount ($100,000) or the Cash
Value at the date of death times the death benefit percentage ($25,000 X 250% =
$62,500). For both Policies II and III under Option A, the Cash Value times the
death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000 for Policy II; $75,000 X
250% = $187,500 for Policy III) is greater than the Specified Amount ($100,000),
so the death benefit equals the higher value. Under Option B, the death benefit
for Policy I equals $125,000 since the death benefit is the greater of Specified
Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $25,000 = $125,000) or the Cash Value times
the death benefit percentage ($25,000 X 250% = $62,500). Similarly, in Policy
II, Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $50,000 = $150,000) is greater
than Cash Value times the death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000).
In Policy III, the Cash Value
11
<PAGE> 18
times the death benefit percentage ($75,000 X 250% = $187,500) is greater than
the Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $75,000 = $175,000), so the
death benefit equals the higher value.
All calculations of death benefit are made as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the Insured dies. Death benefit proceeds may be paid to a
Beneficiary in a lump sum or under the Policy's settlements options.
Death Benefits ordinarily are paid within seven days after we receive all
required documentation. Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See
"General Provisions--Postponement of Payments")
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
After the first Policy Year, you may change the death benefit option from
Option A to Option B, or from Option B to Option A. Changes in the death benefit
option may be made, in writing once per Policy Year. The effective date of the
change is the next Monthly Processing Date after we accept the change.
A change in the death benefit from Option A to Option B reduces the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option B at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option A immediately prior to the change. The change in option
affects the determination of the death benefit since Cash Value will then be
added to the new Specified Amount, and the death benefit then varies with Cash
Value.
A change in the death benefit from Option B to Option A increases the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option A at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option B immediately prior to the change. However, the change in
option affects the determination of the death benefit since the Cash Value is
not added to the Specified Amount in determining the death benefit. The death
benefit then equals the new Specified Amount (or, if higher, the Cash Value
times the applicable specified percentage).
A change in death benefit option may affect the future monthly cost of
insurance charge, which varies with the net amount at risk. Generally, net
amount at risk is the amount by which the death benefit exceeds Cash Value. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") If the death benefit does
not equal Cash Value times a death benefit percentage under either Options A or
B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease the future net
amount at risk. This would decrease the future cost of insurance charges.
Changing from Option A to Option B generally results in a net amount at risk
that remains level. Such a change, however, results in an increase in the cost
of insurance charges over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase with
the Insured's Age.
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After the first Policy Year, you may increase or decrease the Specified
Amount, subject to our approval. A change in Specified Amount may only be made
once per Policy Year. The minimum change in Specified Amount is $25,000.
Increases are not allowed after the Insured attains age 75. Increasing the
Specified Amount could increase the death benefit. Decreasing the Specified
Amount could decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death
benefit will depend, among other things, upon the selected death benefit option
and the degree to which the death benefit exceeds the Specified Amount prior to
the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of
death benefit and Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase
the net amount at risk, thereby increasing your cost of insurance charge and the
guarantee premium amount. However, an increase in Specified Amount does not
extend the guarantee period. Conversely, a decrease in Specified Amount may
decrease the net amount at risk, thereby decreasing your cost of insurance
charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not decrease the guarantee premium.
Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences. (See "Federal Tax
Matters.")
INCREASES. We require additional evidence of insurability for an increase
in Specified Amount.
DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount is first applied to the most
recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A decrease
is not permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the lesser of the
initial Specified Amount or $50,000. If after a decrease in the Specified
Amount, total premiums paid exceed the tax law's premium limitations, we will
refund the amount exceeding the premium limitations. Some or all of the amount
refunded may be subject to tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
We reserve the right to deny a requested decrease in Specified Amount. The
reasons for denial may include:
- our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
the tax guideline premium limitations, or
12
<PAGE> 19
- our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to
terminate because the distributions from Cash Value required under the tax
code to effect the decrease exceed Surrender Value.
Requests for change in Specified Amount must be made in writing. The
requested change becomes effective on the Monthly Processing Date on or next
following our acceptance of the request. If the Owner is not the Insured, we
require the Insured's consent.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is alive on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, we pay the Owner the Surrender Value of the Policy. On
the Maturity Date, the Policy terminates and we have no further obligations
under the Policy.
CASH VALUE
Cash Value reflects
- the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts,
- the frequency and amount of premiums paid,
- transfers between Subaccounts,
- withdrawals,
- any Fixed Account or Loan Account values, and
- Policy charges.
You may make partial withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the Policy and
receive the Policy's Surrender Value. (See "Surrender Privilege.") Cash Value is
not guaranteed.
CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. Cash Value is the total of
- Separate Account Value,
- Fixed Account Value, and
- Loan Account value.
Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It is first calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial net premium,
minus the monthly deductions for the first Policy Month. (See "Charges and
Deductions.")
On any Valuation Date, Separate Account Value in any Subaccount equals:
(1) Separate Account Value in the Subaccount at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period times the Investment Experience Factor (defined
below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
(2) Any net premiums received and allocated to the Subaccount during
the current Valuation Period; plus
(3) All amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period (from a Subaccount, the Fixed Account or the Loan Account
for Policy loan repayment (see "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans,")); minus
(4) The pro rata portion of the monthly cost of insurance charge,
administrative charge, and any other charges assessed to the Subaccount.
(See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge."); minus
(5) All amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(6) All amounts withdrawn from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(7) All amounts loaned from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period.
There will also be Cash Value in the Loan Account if there is a Policy loan
outstanding. The Loan Account is credited with amounts transferred from
Subaccounts for Policy loans. The Loan Account balance accrues daily interest at
an effective annual rate of 3.00%. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans.")
The Cash Value in the Fixed Account is credited with interest at our
declared annual rate. The annual rate will never be less than 3%.
13
<PAGE> 20
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. Each Subaccount has its own Accumulation Unit
Value. When net premiums or other amounts are allocated to a Subaccount, units
are purchased based on the Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the allocation is made. When amounts are
transferred out of, or deducted from, a Subaccount, units are redeemed in a
similar manner.
For each Subaccount, Accumulation Unit Value was initially set at the same
unit value as the net asset value of a share of the underlying Fund. The
Accumulation Unit Value for each subsequent Valuation Period is the Investment
Experience Factor for that Valuation Period times the Accumulation Unit Value
for the preceding Valuation Period. Each Valuation Period has a single
Accumulation Unit Value which applies for each day in the period. The number of
Accumulation Units will not change due to investment experience. The Investment
Experience Factor may be greater or less than one; therefore, the Accumulation
Unit Value may increase or decrease.
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FACTOR. The investment experience of the Separate
Account is calculated by applying the Investment Experience Factor to the
Separate Account Value in each Subaccount during a Valuation Period. Each
Subaccount has its own Investment Experience Factor. The Investment Experience
Factor of a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (1) by
(2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:
(1) is the net result of:
a. The net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the investments held in the Subaccount, if the "ex-dividend"
date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or minus
c. a charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the current Valuation
Period which we determine have resulted from the investment operations
of the Subaccount;
(2) is the net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
(3) is the factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.")
POLICY LOANS
After the first Policy Year, you may borrow all or part of the Policy's
maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 90% of Surrender Value. The
amount of any new loan may not exceed the maximum loan amount less Debt on the
date a loan is granted. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. The loan
ordinarily is paid within 7 days after we receive a written loan request,
although payments may be postponed under certain circumstances. (See
"Postponement of Payments," and "Federal Tax Matters.")
On the date a loan is made, the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account. Unless you direct
otherwise, the loan amount is deducted from the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account in proportion to the values that each bears to the total of Separate
Account Value and Fixed Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during
which the request is received.
Loan interest is charged at an effective annual rate of 4.5% in the first
nine Policy Years and 3.00% thereafter. Interest not paid when due is added to
the loan amount. Unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of the next Policy Date
anniversary or when coverage ceases. The same interest rates apply to unpaid
interest. When interest is added to the loan amount, we transfer an equal amount
from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account.
Cash Value in the Loan Account earns 3.00% annual interest. Such interest
is allocated to the Loan Account.
LOAN REPAYMENT. All or any portion of a loan may be repaid at any time.
You must specify that the purpose of a payment is loan repayment; otherwise a
payment is treated as premium. At the time of repayment, the Loan Account is
reduced by the repayment amount, adjusted for the difference between interest
charged and interest earned. The net repayment amount is allocated to the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account, according to your current allocation
instructions, at the end of the Valuation Period during which the repayment is
received. These transfers are not limited by the 15 day transfer restriction.
EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay Policy charges. If Surrender Value on the
day preceding a Monthly Processing Date is less than the next monthly deductions
we will notify you. (See "General Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.")
The Policy will lapse
14
<PAGE> 21
and terminate without value, unless we receive a sufficient payment within 61
days of the date notice is sent. (See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement.")
EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan affects Cash Value. The
collateral for the outstanding loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does
not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or earn current interest in
the Fixed Account. If the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the
amount that would have been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the
Cash Value will, and the Death Benefit may, be higher as a result of the loan.
Conversely, if the amount credited to the Loan Account is less than would have
been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the Cash Value, as well as
the Death Benefit, may be less.
TAX TREATMENT. If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is
treated as a distribution and is includible in income to the extent that Cash
Value exceeds premiums paid. Therefore, a loan may result in federal income tax
and a 10% tax penalty may also apply. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
If the Insured is alive, you may surrender the Policy for its Surrender
Value. To surrender the Policy, you must return the Policy to us, along with a
written request. Surrender Value equals Cash Value, minus Surrender Charges and
Debt. (See "Surrender Charge," below.)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, you may withdraw a
portion of Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is $500.
During the surrender period, the maximum amount of partial withdrawal is 10% of
the Surrender Value. A $25 withdrawal charge is imposed for each withdrawal.
This charge is deducted after the partial withdrawal amount is determined. (See
"Charges and Deductions.") A withdrawal decreases Cash Value by the amount of
the withdrawal and, if Death Benefit Option A is in effect, reduces Specified
Amount by the amount of the withdrawal.
FREE-LOOK PERIOD AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
During the Free-Look Period, you may examine the Policy and return it for a
refund. The time period depends on where the Policy is issued; however, it will
be at least 10 days from the date you receive the Policy, or, 45 days after you
complete the application for insurance, whichever is later. The amount of the
refund is the sum of Cash Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount plus the
total amount of monthly deductions and deductions from Premium. To receive a
refund you should return the Policy to us or to the agent who sold the Policy.
At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, you may
exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life insurance
policy then currently offered by us or an affiliate. Evidence of insurability is
not required. The amount of the new policy may be, at your election, either the
initial Death Benefit or the same net amount at risk as the Policy on the
exchange date. All Debt must be repaid and the Policy must be surrendered before
the exchange is made. The new policy will have the same Policy Date and issue
age as the exchanged Policy.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. This charge reimburses us for paying
state premium taxes. We expect to pay an average state premium tax rate of
approximately 2.5%, but the actual premium tax attributable to a Policy may be
more or less. In addition, a charge for federal taxes, equal to 1% of each
premium payment, is deducted to compensate us for higher corporate income taxes
under the current Internal Revenue Code.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
We deduct a cost of insurance charge monthly from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account. This charge covers our anticipated mortality costs. The cost of
insurance charge is deducted monthly in advance and is allocated pro rata among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.
We deduct the cost of insurance by cancelling units on the Policy Date and
on each Monthly Processing Date thereafter. If the Monthly Processing Date falls
on a day other than a Valuation Date, the charge is determined on the next
Valuation Date. The cost of insurance charge is determined by multiplying the
cost of insurance rate (see
15
<PAGE> 22
below) by the "net amount at risk" for each Policy month. The net amount at risk
equals the Death Benefit minus the Cash Value on the Monthly Processing Date.
COST OF INSURANCE RATE. The monthly cost of insurance rates are based on
the issue age, sex, rate class of the Insured and Policy Year. We determine the
monthly cost of insurance rates based on our expectations as to future mortality
experience. Any change in the schedule of rates applies to all individuals of
the same class as the Insured. The cost of insurance rate may never exceed those
shown in the table of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates in the Policy.
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on the 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables, Age
Nearest Birthday, published by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners.
RATE CLASS. The rate class of an Insured will affect the cost of insurance
rate. We currently place Insureds in preferred rate classes and rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk. The cost of insurance rates for rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk are multiples of the preferred rates. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Rate," above.)
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a daily charge, at an annual rate of 0.90%, from the Subaccounts
for mortality and expense risks We assume.
The mortality and expense risk we assume is that our estimates of longevity
and of the expenses incurred over the life of the Policy will not be correct.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We deduct a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse us for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to Owners. This charge is designed only to
reimburse us for actual administrative expenses. This charge is $5 per month.
OTHER CHARGES
SURRENDER CHARGE. We deduct a Surrender Charge from Cash Value if the
Policy is surrendered or Cash Value is applied under a Settlement Option during
the first 14 Policy Years. A Surrender Charge is also assessed during the first
14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge
is:
(a) an administrative component (issue charge); plus
(b) a sales component (deferred sales charge); times
(c) the Surrender Charge percentage.
During the 14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount, an
additional Surrender Charge applies. The additional charge is calculated as
described below based on the amount of the increase, years commencing on the
date of the increase and Target Premium associated with the increase.
The Surrender Charge is determined based upon the date we receive the
written request for surrender. In no case will the Surrender Charge be greater
than the maximum allowable under the Standard Non-forfeiture law. It is
possible, although unlikely, that in the early period of a Policy, the Surrender
Charge, which includes an issue charge component and deferred sales charge
component, could exceed premiums paid.
(a) Issue Charge. The issue charge is a level charge of $5.00 per thousand
of Specified Amount and the sum of coverage amounts for any other insureds.
This charge covers the administrative expenses associated with underwriting
and issuing a Policy. These expenses include the costs of processing
applications, conducting medical examinations, determining insurability and the
Insured's underwriting class, and establishing Policy records.
(b) Deferred Sales Charge. The deferred sales charge is (i) 30% of premiums
paid up to one Target Premium shown in the Policy plus (ii) for the sum of all
premiums paid in excess of one Target Premium ("excess premium charge"), a
percentage which varies by the issue age of the Insured as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Excess Premium Charge Issue Ages
--------------------- ----------
<S> <C>
7.5% 0-65
5.0% 66-75
</TABLE>
The deferred sales charge reimburses Us for some of the expenses of
distributing the Policies.
16
<PAGE> 23
(c) Surrender Charge Percentage. For issue ages up to age 66, the Surrender
Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-5 and declines by 10% each year in
Policy Years 6-14 until reaching zero at the beginning of Policy Year 15. For
issue ages 66-75, the Surrender Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-3
and declines by 10% each year in Policy Years 4-11 and by 5% in Policy Years
12-14 until reaching zero at the beginning of Policy Year 15.

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

<PAGE> 25
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. A charge of $50 is imposed to enter into a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. In addition, a $25 charge is imposed each time a
change is made to the plan. These charges reimburse us for administrative
expenses of this plan. (See "Systematic Withdrawal Plan.")
REDUCTION OF CHARGES. We may reduce certain charges and the minimum
initial premium in special circumstances that result in lower sales,
administrative, or mortality expenses. For example, special circumstances may
exist in connection with group or sponsored arrangements, sales to our
policyowners, or sales to employees or clients of members of the Kemper group of
companies. The amounts of any reductions will reflect the reduced sales effort
and administrative costs resulting from, or the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, the special circumstances. Reductions will not unfairly
discriminate against any person, including the affected Owners and owners of all
other policies funded by the Separate Account.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
You, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election by you is in
effect, may elect to have the Death Benefit or Surrender Value paid in a lump
sum or have the amount applied to one of the Settlement Options. Payments under
these options will not be affected by the investment experience of the Separate
Account after proceeds are applied under a Settlement Option. The payee elects
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The option selected must
result in a payment that at least equals our required minimum in effect when the
option is chosen. If at any time the payments are less than the minimum, we may
increase the period between payments to quarterly, semi-annual or annual or make
the payment in one lump sum.
Benefit payments are based on Surrender Value calculated on the day
preceding the date the first benefit payment is due. The payment will be based
on the Settlement Option elected in accordance with the appropriate settlement
option table.
OPTION 1--INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD. We pay income for the period and
payment mode elected. The period elected must at least 5 years, but not more
than 30 years.
OPTION 2--LIFE INCOME. We pay monthly income to the payee during the
payee's lifetime. If this Option is elected, annuity payments terminate
automatically and immediately on the death of the payee without regard to the
number or total amount of payments made. Thus, it is possible for an individual
to receive only one payment if death occurred prior to the date the second
payment was due.
OPTION 3--LIFE INCOME WITH INSTALLMENTS GUARANTEED. We pay monthly income
for the guaranteed period elected and thereafter for the remaining lifetime of
the payee. The available guaranteed periods are 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We pay the full monthly income while
both payees are living. Upon the death of either payee, the income continues
during the lifetime of the surviving payee. The surviving payee's income is
based on the percentage designated (50%, 66 2/3%, 75% or 100%) at election time.
Payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death of the surviving
payee without regard to the number or total amount of payments received.
We must consent to any other payment methods.
The guaranteed monthly payments are based on an interest rate of 2.50% per
year and, where mortality is involved, the "1983 Table a" individual mortality
table developed by the Society of Actuaries, with a 5 year setback.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
GENERAL. Payment of any amount due upon: (a) Policy termination at the
Maturity Date, (b) surrender of the Policy, (c) payment of any Policy loan, or
(d) death of the Insured, may be postponed whenever:
(1) The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend
and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the Commission;
(2) The Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
owners; or
(3) An emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result
of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net assets of the
Separate Account.
19
<PAGE> 26
Transfers may also be postponed under these circumstances.
PAYMENT NOT HONORED BY BANK. The portion of any payment due under the
Policy which is derived from any amount paid to us by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as we determine that such instrument has been honored
by the bank upon which it was drawn.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, any endorsements, and the application constitute the entire
contract between you and KILICO. All statements made by the Insured or contained
in the application will, in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation, be deemed
representations and not warranties.
Only the President, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary of KILICO is
authorized to change or waive the terms of a Policy. Any change or waiver must
be in writing and signed by one of those persons.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is misstated, the Death Benefit will be
adjusted to reflect the correct sex and age.
INCONTESTABILITY
We may contest the validity of a Policy if any material misrepresentations
are made in the application. However, a Policy will be incontestable after it
has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the
Issue Date. A new two year contestability period will apply to increases in
insurance and to reinstatements, beginning with the effective date of the
increase or reinstatement.
SUICIDE
Suicide by the Insured, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date (or within two years following an increase in Specified Amount) is a
risk not assumed under the Policy. Our liability for such suicide is limited to
the premiums paid less any withdrawals and Debt. When the laws of the state in
which a Policy is delivered require less than a two year period, the period or
amount paid will be as stated in such laws.
ASSIGNMENT
No Policy assignment is binding on us until we receive it. We assume no
responsibility for the validity of the assignment. Any claim under an assignment
is subject to proof of the extent of the assignee's interest. If the Policy is
assigned, your rights and the rights of the Beneficiary are subject to the
rights of the assignee of record.
NONPARTICIPATING
The Policy does not pay dividends. It does not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
You may designate a new Owner while the Insured is alive.
You designate primary and secondary Beneficiaries in the application. We
rely upon the latest filed change of beneficiary. If the Insured dies, and no
designated Beneficiary is alive at that time, we will pay the Insured's estate.
The interest of any Beneficiary may be subject to that of an assignee.
In order to change the Owner or a designated Beneficiary, you must sign our
form. The change is effective when you sign the form, but we are not liable for
payments made or actions taken before we receive the signed form.
20
<PAGE> 27
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We keep the Separate Account records. We send you, at your last known
address of record, an annual report showing:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- Death Benefit - partial withdrawals
- Accumulation Unit Value - transfers
- Cash Value - Policy loans and repayments
- Surrender Value - Policy charges
- additional premium payments
</TABLE>
We also send you confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions,
as well as annual and semi-annual Fund reports.
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
Send written notices or requests to our home office: Kemper Investors Life
Insurance Company, Customer Service, 1 Kemper Drive, Long Grove, Illinois 60049.
Please include the Policy number and the Insured's full name. We send notices to
your address shown in the application unless an address change is filed with us.
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
The following optional insurance benefits are available by Rider at the
time of application:
- waiver of monthly deductions due to Insured's total disability,
- term insurance on the Insured's dependent children,
- acceleration of a portion of the death benefit due to Insured's
terminal illness, and
- term insurance on additional insureds.
The cost of these benefits is added to the monthly deduction. These
benefits and restrictions are described in the Rider. We provide samples of
these provisions upon written request.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, Cash Value in the Fixed Account,
the Kemper Money Market Subaccount or the Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount ("DCA Subaccount") is automatically transferred monthly to other
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. However, transfers involving the AST Janus
Small-Cap Growth Subaccount are not available under this program unless you
authorized the transfers on or before February 14, 2000. If so, you may continue
pre-authorized transfers into the AST Janus Small-Cap Growth Subaccount, but you
may not make any changes other than to discontinue transfers into the AST Janus
Small-Cap Growth Account.
You may enroll any time by completing our Dollar Cost Averaging form.
Transfers are made on the 10th day of the month. We must receive the enrollment
form at least 5 business days before the transfer date.
Transfers commence on the first transfer date following the Trade Date. The
minimum transfer amount is $500 per Subaccount or Fixed Account. In order to
enroll, Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount must be at least $10,000. Dollar Cost
Averaging automatically ends if Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount is less than
the amount designated to be transferred. Cash Value remaining in the DCA
Subaccount will be transferred.
Dollar Cost Averaging ends if:
- the number of designated monthly transfers has been completed,
- Cash Value attributable to the DCA Subaccount is insufficient to
complete the next transfer,
- we receive your written termination at least 5 business days before
the next transfer date, or
- the Policy is surrendered.
We will give 30 days notice if we amend the Dollar Cost Averaging program.
We may terminate the program at any time.
21
<PAGE> 28
You may change Dollar Cost Averaging instructions by completing our
enrollment form. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business days
(10 business days for Fixed Account transfers), before the next transfer date.
To participate in Dollar Cost Averaging, you may have Cash Value in the
Fixed Account and no more than 8 non-DCA Subaccounts.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
We offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") allowing you to preauthorize
periodic withdrawals after the first Policy Year. You instruct us to withdraw
selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or up to 2 Subaccounts, on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Your periodic payment must be at least
$500. These periodic payments are partial withdrawals and are subject to
surrender charges. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privileges," page
14.) The $25 withdrawal charge does not apply. However, we charge $50 to
establish an SWP and a $25 charge each time a change is made. These charges
reimburse us for SWP administrative expenses. Periodic payments may be subject
to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties. (See "Federal Tax Matters.") An
SWP application and additional information may be obtained from us or from your
representative. We will give 30 days notice if we amend the SWP. The SWP may be
terminated at any time by you or us.
DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
The Policy is sold by licensed insurance representatives who represent us
and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that are registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Policy is distributed through the
principal underwriter, Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS"), our
affiliate. IBS is engaged in the sale and distribution of other variable life
policies and annuities.
The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives is
approximately 63% of premiums up to the commission target premium and 2.5% of
excess premium in the first year and 2.5% of total premium in renewal years two
through ten. Beginning in the second Policy Year, a service fee on assets which
have been maintained and serviced may also be paid. In addition, certain
overrides and production and managerial bonuses may be paid. These additional
amounts may constitute a substantial portion of total commissions and fees paid.
Firms to which service fees and commissions may be paid include affiliated
broker-dealers. In addition to the commissions described above, we may pay
additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to
licensed broker-dealers that sell the Policy. These incentives may be offered to
certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell certain minimums during
specified periods.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
This discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Policy is not
exhaustive, does not cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice.
The federal income tax treatment of the Policy is unclear in certain
circumstances, and a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted with
regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This discussion is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), Treasury
Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this
Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the
Treasury Department, and the courts.
This discussion does not address state or local tax consequences, nor
federal estate or gift tax consequences, associated with owning the Policy. IN
ADDITION, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY TAX TREATMENT--FEDERAL, STATE OR
LOCAL--OF ANY POLICY OR OF ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING A POLICY.
OUR TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate
Account are treated as part of our total operations. The operations of the
Separate Account do not materially affect our federal income tax liability
because we are allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of
the Separate Account is applied to increase Cash Value. We may incur state and
local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these taxes are
not significant. Accordingly, we do not charge or credit the Separate Account
for federal, state or local taxes. However, our federal income taxes are
increased because of the federal tax law's treatment of
22
<PAGE> 29
deferred acquisition costs. Accordingly, we charge 1% of each premium payment to
compensate us for our higher corporate income tax liability.
If there is a material change in law, charges or credits may be made to the
Separate Account for taxes or reserves for taxes. These charges or credits are
determined independently of the taxes we actually pay.
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code establishes a definition of life
insurance which, in part, places limitations on the amount of premiums that may
be paid and the Cash Value that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. We
believe the Policy meets this definition. We reserve the right to refund
premiums and earnings thereon, increase the Death Benefit (which may result in
higher Policy charges), or take any other action we deem necessary to ensure the
Policy's compliance with the tax definition of life insurance. The Death Benefit
is generally excludable from the Beneficiary's gross income. Interest and other
income credited are not taxable unless certain withdrawals are made (or are
deemed to be made) from the Policy prior to the Insured's death, as discussed
below. This tax treatment will only apply, however, if (1) the investments of
the Separate Account are "adequately diversified", and (2) we, rather than you,
are considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code prescribes the manner in which the
Separate Account must be "adequately diversified." If the Separate Account fails
to comply with these diversification standards, the Policy will not be treated
as a life insurance contract, and you will be taxed on the income on the
contract (as defined in the tax law). We expect that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the prescribed diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners of the assets of a segregated asset
account such as the Separate Account. Income and gains from the Separate Account
would then be includible in your gross income. The Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") has stated that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner
of the assets of a separate account if the owner possesses the ability to
exercise investment control over such assets. As of the date of this Prospectus,
no comprehensive guidance has been issued by the IRS clarifying the
circumstances when such investment control by a variable contract owner would
exist. 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 do not know what limits may be set forth in any guidance that the IRS
may issue, or whether any such limits will apply to existing Policies. We
therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to
prevent Policy Owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the
Separate Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would be
successful.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as a life
insurance contract for tax purposes.
TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
Death Benefit is excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under the Code.
Certain transfers of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death
Benefit being taxable. If the Death Benefit is paid under a Settlement Option,
generally payments will be prorated between the non-taxable Death Benefit and
taxable interest.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Any increase in Cash Value is
generally not taxable to you unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be
received) from the Policy before the Insured's death. If the Policy is
surrendered, the excess of Cash Value over the "investment in the contract" is
includible in your ordinary income. The "investment in the contract" generally
is premium payments minus non-taxable distributions. As described below, the tax
treatment of amounts distributed, including loans, while the Insured(s) are
alive depends upon whether your Policy is a "modified endowment contract"
("MEC"). The term "modified endowment contract," or "MEC," is defined below.
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal generally will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of premiums and then as taxable income. Thus, a withdrawal from a
non-MEC Policy generally is not taxable income unless the total withdrawals
exceed the investment in the contract.
DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY YEARS. The Code limits the
amount of premium that may be paid and Cash Value that can accumulate relative
to the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required in connection with a
reduction in benefits during the first 15 years after the Policy is issued (or
if withdrawals are made in anticipation of a reduction in benefits during this
period), some or all of such amounts may be taxable. A
23
<PAGE> 30
reduction in benefits may result from a decrease in Specified Amount, a change
from an Option B Death Benefit to an Option A Death Benefit, if withdrawals are
made, and in certain other instances.
TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS. If a Policy is not a MEC, a loan generally is
treated as indebtedness of the Owner. As a result, the loan is not taxable
income to you if the Policy remains in force. However, when the interest rate
credited to the Loan Account is the same as the interest rate charged for the
loan, it is unclear whether the IRS would consider some or all of the loan
proceeds to be includible in income. Absent further guidance, we will treat all
loans as indebtedness. If a Policy lapses when a loan is outstanding, the amount
of the loan outstanding will be treated as a surrender in determining whether
any amounts are includible in the Owner's income.
Generally, interest paid on Policy Loans or other indebtedness related to
the Policy will not be tax deductible, except in the case of certain
indebtedness under a Policy covering a "key person." A tax adviser should be
consulted before taking any Policy Loan.
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. A Policy is a MEC if (1) the Policy
is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the
Policy is issued on or after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid more rapidly
than permitted under the "7-Pay Test." A Policy fails this test (and thus is a
MEC) if the accumulated amount paid during the 1st 7 Policy Years exceeds the
cumulative sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid to that time
if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of 7 level
annual premiums. Under the Code, a material change of the Policy generally
results in a reapplication of the 7-Pay Test. In addition, any reduction in
benefits during the 7-Pay period will affect the application of this test.
We monitor the Policies and attempt to notify Owners on a timely basis if a
Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. You may then request that we take
available steps to avoid treating the Policy as a MEC.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals are treated first as withdrawals of income and
then as a recovery of premiums. Thus, withdrawals are includible in income to
the extent that the Cash Value exceeds the investment in the contract. A Policy
loan is treated as a withdrawal for tax purposes.
If you assign or pledge Cash Value under a MEC (or agree to assign or
pledge any portion), such portion is a withdrawal for tax purposes. The
investment in the contract is increased by the amount includible in income with
respect to any assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by any
other aspect of the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or
repayment). Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a MEC, you
should consult a tax adviser.
PENALTY TAX. Generally, proceeds of a surrender or a withdrawal (or the
amount of any deemed withdrawal) from a MEC are subject to a penalty tax of 10%
of the portion of the proceeds that is includible in income, unless the
surrender or withdrawal is made (1) after you attain age 59 1/2, (2) because you
have become disabled (as defined in the Code), 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, within the meaning of the tax law).
AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from us or our affiliates within
the same calendar year are aggregated and treated as one contract in determining
the tax on withdrawals (including deemed withdrawals). The effects of
aggregation are not always clear; however, it could affect the taxable amount of
a withdrawal (or a deemed withdrawal) and could subject the withdrawal to the
10% penalty tax.
CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH MECS AND NON-MECS
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. Entities that are considering purchasing the Policy, or
that will be Beneficiaries under a Policy, should consult a tax adviser.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Owner, exchanging the Policy, changing
from one Death Benefit option to another, and other Policy changes may have tax
consequences depending on the circumstances of the change. Federal estate and
state and local estate taxes, or inheritance taxes and other tax consequences of
ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each
Owner or Beneficiary. The exchange of one life
24
<PAGE> 31
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.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
We withhold and send to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals unless you notify us in writing at the time of withdrawal
that you are electing no withholding. You are always responsible for the payment
of any taxes and early distribution penalties that may be due on the amounts
received. 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.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court held in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and
fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.
The Policy contains cost of insurance rates that distinguish between men and
women. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in
consultation with legal counsel, the impact of federal, state and local laws,
including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, and NORRIS and
subsequent cases on any employment-related insurance or fringe benefit program
before purchasing the Policy.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep these assets segregated
and apart from our general funds. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of the shares of each portfolio of the Funds by each of the
Subaccounts.
VOTING INTERESTS
We vote a Fund's shares held in the Separate Account at regular and special
shareholder meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions received from
persons having voting interests in the corresponding Subaccounts of the Separate
Account. Owners of all Policies participating in each Subaccount are entitled to
give us instructions with respect to that Subaccount. An Owner's proportionate
interest in that Subaccount is measured by units. We determine the number of
shares for which an Owner may give voting instructions as of the record date for
the meeting. Owners will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials
relating to the appropriate portfolio of the Funds.
We vote all Fund shares held in the Separate Account proportionately based
on Owners' instructions. If changes in law permit, we may vote a Fund's shares
in our own right.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as
to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of the Fund
or of one or more of its portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for a portfolio of the Fund. In addition, we may disregard
voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an Owner in the investment
policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a Fund if we reasonably
disapprove of such changes. A proposed change would be disapproved only if the
change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities,
or if we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on our General
Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may result in
overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons for it in
the next annual report to Owners.
STATE REGULATION OF KILICO
KILICO, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Illinois, is subject to regulation by the Illinois Department of Insurance. We
file an annual statement with the Director of Insurance on or before March 1st
of each year covering our operations and reporting on our financial condition as
of December 31st of the preceding year. Periodically, the Director of Insurance
examines the liabilities and reserves of KILICO and the Separate Account and
certifies to their adequacy.
In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the
other states where we operate. Generally, the insurance departments of other
states apply the laws of Illinois in determining our permissible investments.

their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their policy owners'
equity for each of the two years then ended, 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 subaccount 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.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are generally accounted for on the trade date (date
when KILICO accepts risks of providing insurance coverage to the insured).
Dividends and capital gains distributions are recorded as income on the
ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
generally reported on a first in, first out (FIFO) cost basis.
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
43
<PAGE> 50
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
value of each subaccount's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by
the number of accumulation units outstanding in the respective subaccount.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income
tax return of KILICO. Under existing federal income tax law, investment income
and realized capital gains and losses of the Separate Account increase
liabilities under the policy and are, therefore, not taxed. Thus the Separate
Account may realize net investment income and capital gains and losses without
federal income tax consequences.
(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):

(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
46
<PAGE> 53
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 KILICO's state premium tax
expense and a certain Federal income tax liability incurred as a result of the
receipt of premium.
Policy loans are also provided for under the terms of the Policy. The
minimum amount of the loan under the Power V and Farmers Variable Universal Life
I policies is $500 and is limited to 90% of the surrender value, less applicable
surrender charges. The minimum amount of the loan under the Kemper Destinations
Life policies is $1,000 and is limited to 90% of the surrender value, less
applicable surrender charges. Interest is assessed against a policy loan under
the terms of the Policy. Policy loans are carried in KILICO's general account.
Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc., an affiliated company, is the investment
manager of the Kemper Variable Series and the Scudder Variable Life Investment
Fund. Investors Brokerage Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KILICO,
is the principal underwriter for the Separate Account.
American Skandia Investment Services, Incorporated is the investment
manager of the American Skandia Trust. Fidelity Management & Research Company is
the investment manager of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, the
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II, and the Fidelity Variable
Insurance Products Fund III. Neither of these entities are affiliated with
KILICO.
(4) NET TRANSFERS (TO) FROM AFFILIATE OR SUBACCOUNTS
Net transfers (to) from affiliate or subaccounts include transfers of all
or part of the Policy Owner's interest to or from another eligible subaccount or
to the general account of KILICO.
(5) POLICY OWNERS' EQUITY
Policy Owners' equity as of December 31, 1999 does not include any amounts
attributable to Kemper Destinations Life policies because sales had not
commenced prior to December 31, 1999.

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

(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
55

the liability or contract rate on the value of business acquired. The estimated
amortization and accretion of interest for the value of business acquired for
each of the years through December 31, 2004 are as follows:

</TABLE>
The projected ending balance of the value of business acquired will be
further adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses on fixed
maturities held as available for sale in the investment portfolio. Such
adjustments are not recorded in the Company's net income but rather are recorded
as a credit or charge to 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
56

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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
estate-related loans were as follows:

determining reserves and write-downs. The Company had an average balance of
$100.0 million and $54.6 million in impaired loans for 1999 and 1998,
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%).

(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.

The actual income tax expense for 1999, 1998 and 1997 differed from the
"expected" tax expense for those years as displayed below. "Expected" tax
expense was computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 35

</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 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
64

(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
The following table contains amounts related to the BOLI funds withheld
reinsurance agreement (in millions):

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
65

KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(8) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)
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
66
<PAGE> 73
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)
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 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.

(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. 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

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.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES,
CASH SURRENDER VALUES AND
DEATH BENEFITS
The tables in this Prospectus have been prepared to help show how values
under a Policy change with investment experience. The tables illustrate how Cash
Values, Surrender Values (reflecting the deduction of Surrender Charges, if any)
and Death Benefits under a Policy issued on an Insured of a given age would vary
over time if the hypothetical gross investment rates of return were a uniform,
after tax, annual rate of 0%, 6%, and 12%. If the hypothetical gross investment
rate of return averages 0%, 6%, or 12%, but fluctuates over or under those
averages throughout the years, the Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits may be different.
The amounts shown for the Cash Value, Surrender Value and Death Benefit as
of each Policy Anniversary reflect the fact that the net investment return on
the assets held in the Subaccounts is lower than the gross return. This is
because of a daily charge to the Subaccounts for assuming mortality and expense
risks, which is equivalent to an effective annual charge of 0.90%. This charge
is guaranteed not to exceed an effective annual rate of 0.90%. In addition, the
net investment returns also reflect the deduction of the Fund investment
advisory fees and other Fund expenses, (.83%, the average of the fees and
expenses). The tables also reflect applicable charges and deductions including a
3.5% deduction against premiums, a monthly administrative charge of $5 and
monthly charges for providing insurance protection. For each hypothetical gross
investment rate of return, tables are provided reflecting current and guaranteed
cost of insurance charges. Hypothetical gross average investment rates of return
of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to the following approximate net annual investment
rate of return of -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, on a current basis. On a guaranteed
basis, these rates of return would be -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, respectively.
Cost of insurance rates vary by issue age, sex, rating class and Policy Year
and, therefore, are not reflected in the approximate net annual investment rate
of return above.
Values are shown for Policies which are issued to a male standard nonsmoker
and a male preferred nonsmoker. Values for Policies issued on a basis involving
a higher mortality risk would result in lower Cash Values, Surrender Values and
Death Benefits than those illustrated. Females generally have a more favorable
rate structure than males.
The tables also reflect the fact that no charges for federal, state or
other income taxes are currently made against the Separate Account. If such a
charge is made in the future, it will take a higher gross rate of return than
illustrated to produce the net after-tax returns shown in the tables.
Upon request, we will furnish an illustration based on the proposed
Insured's age, sex and premium payment requested.

FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUED BY
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
THROUGH ITS KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
HOME OFFICE: 1 KEMPER DRIVE, LONG GROVE, ILLINOIS 60049 (800) 321-9313
This Prospectus describes a Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy
("Policy") offered by Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("we" or
"KILICO"). The Policy provides life insurance and accumulates variable Cash
Value. Policy benefits depend upon the investment experience of the KILICO
Variable Separate Account. Generally, Policy premiums are flexible.
The Policy is "life insurance" for federal tax purposes. If the Policy is a
modified endowment contract, different tax rules apply to distributions. See
"Federal Tax Matters", page 21 for a discussion of laws that affect the tax
treatment of the Policy.
You have the following choices for allocating premium:
- the Fixed Account, which accrues interest at our guaranteed rate,
and
- the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, which invest in portfolios
of underlying mutual funds.
The following portfolios of underlying mutual funds are currently available
under the Policy:
- KEMPER VARIABLE SERIES
- Kemper High Yield
- Kemper Government Securities
- Kemper Small Cap Growth
- KVS Dreman High Return Equity
(formerly Kemper-Dreman High
Return Equity)
- JANUS ASPEN SERIES
- Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation
- PIMCO VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST
- PIMCO Low Duration Bond
- PIMCO Foreign Bond
- - FRANKLIN TEMPLETON VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST*
- Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund (formerly Templeton Developing
Markets Fund)
(Class 2 Shares)
- - SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUND ("SCUDDER VLIF")
- Scudder VLIF International (A-Shares)
- Scudder VLIF Growth and Income (A-Shares)
- Scudder VLIF Bond (A-Shares)
- Scudder VLIF Money Market
* Effective May 1, 2000, the funds of Templeton Variable Products Series Fund
merged into similar corresponding funds of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
Products Trust.
You may obtain more information about these portfolios in the attached
prospectuses. Not all portfolios described in the prospectuses may be available
under the Policy.
You choose from two death benefit options. The Death Benefit is at least
the amount shown in the Policy Specifications, unless there are loans. Cash
Value is not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value does not cover all Policy
charges, the Policy will lapse. The Policy Specifications show the guarantee
premium and the guarantee period. The Policy will not lapse during the guarantee
period if the guarantee premium is paid.
You may cancel the Policy and receive a refund during the Free-Look Period.
If you already own a flexible premium variable life insurance policy, it
may not be advantageous to buy additional insurance or to replace your policy
with the Policy described in this Prospectus.
THIS PROSPECTUS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED OR PRECEDED BY A CURRENT
PROSPECTUS FOR THE AVAILABLE UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS. YOU SHOULD READ

SUMMARY
This section summarizes this Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus.
You should refer to the heading "Definitions" for the meaning of certain terms.
If states require variations, they appear in supplements attached to this
Prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy. Unless otherwise indicated, this
Prospectus describes an in force Policy with no loans.
You pay a premium for life insurance coverage on the Insured. Generally,
you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. The Policy provides
for a Surrender Value which is payable if the Policy is terminated during an
Insured's lifetime. The Death Benefit and Cash Value of the Policy may increase
or decrease to reflect investment experience. Cash Value is not guaranteed. If
the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy charges, the Policy will lapse
unless an additional premium payment or loan repayment is made. The Policy will
remain in force during the guarantee period if the premiums paid, minus
withdrawals and Debt, are at least equal to the guarantee premiums. (See "The
Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account Value," page 8,
"Charges and Deductions," page 14, and "Policy Benefits and Rights," page 10.)
A Policy may be issued as or become a modified endowment contract as a
result of a material change or reduction in benefits as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code. The Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if excess
premiums are paid. If the Policy is treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be included in your federal gross income (See
"Federal Tax Matters," page 21.)
The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary. The Policy is not comparable to a systematic investment plan of a
mutual fund.
POLICY BENEFITS
CASH VALUE. Cash Value reflects the amount and frequency of premium
payments, the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts, any values in
the Fixed Account and Loan Account, and Policy charges. You bear the entire
investment risk on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. We do not
guarantee Separate Account Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash Value,"
page 12.)
You may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the Surrender Value. The
Surrender Value is the Cash Value minus surrender charges and outstanding Debt.
Partial withdrawals are available subject to restrictions. (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
POLICY LOANS. You may borrow up to 90% of Cash Value minus surrender
charges. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. Interest is charged at an
effective annual rate of 4.50% in the first nine Policy Years and 3.00%
thereafter. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.)
When a loan is made, a portion of Cash Value equal to the loan amount is
transferred from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account (pro rata, unless
you request otherwise) to the Loan Account. We credit 3% annual interest to Cash
Values held in the Loan Account. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans," page 13.)
If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is treated as a
taxable distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.)
DEATH BENEFITS. An in force Policy pays a death benefit upon the death of
the Insured. The Policy has two death benefit options. Under Option A, the death
benefit is the Specified Amount stated in the Policy Specifications. Under
Option B, the death benefit is the Specified Amount stated in the Policy
Specifications plus the Cash Value. The death benefit is never less than the
multiple of Cash Value specified in Appendix B. The death benefit payable is
reduced by any Debt. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Death Benefits," page
10.)
PREMIUMS
The amount and frequency of premium payments are flexible. You specify a
Planned Premium on the application. However, you are not required to make the
Planned Premiums, and, subject to certain restrictions, may make premium
payments in any amount and at any frequency. The amount, frequency, and period
of time over which you pay premiums affects whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium payment
is $50. Other minimums apply for other payment modes.
2
<PAGE> 95
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover all Policy charges
for the Policy to remain in force. A Policy will remain in force during the
guarantee period if premiums paid, less withdrawals and Debt, equal or exceed
the sum of the guarantee premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums," page 8.)
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The portion of the premium available for allocation
equals the premium paid less applicable charges. You indicate in the application
the percentages of premium to be allocated among the Subaccounts of the Separate
Account and the Fixed Account. The Policy currently offers twelve Subaccounts,
each of which invests in shares of a designated portfolio of one of the Funds.
The initial premium, minus applicable charges, is allocated to the Scudder
VLIF Money Market Subaccount on the day after receipt. On the Trade Date, the
Separate Account Value in the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount is allocated
among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions
in the application. (See "The Policy--Policy Issue," page 8.)
TRANSFERS. You may transfer Separate Account Value among the Subaccount
once every fifteen days. One annual transfer is permitted between the Fixed
Account and the Subaccounts. (See "The Policy--Allocation of Premiums and
Separate Account Value," page 8.)

for investment by the Separate Account:

For a more detailed description of the Funds, see "The Funds," page 5, the
Funds' prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus, and Statements of Additional
Information available from us upon request.
CHARGES
We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. In addition, we deduct a charge of 1%
of each premium payment to compensate us for corporate income tax liability.
(See Charges and Deductions--Deductions from Premiums, page 14.) We currently do
not deduct any other charges from premium or the Separate Account for federal,
state or other taxes. Should we
3
<PAGE> 96
determine that these taxes apply, we may make deductions from the Separate
Account to pay those taxes. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 21.)
We will deduct a charge from Cash Value in each Subaccount and the Fixed
Account on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Processing Date for the cost of
life insurance coverage. In addition, we deduct an asset charge, at an annual
rate of .90%, from each Subaccount on a daily basis for our assumption of
mortality and expense risks. (See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance
Charge and Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," pages 14 and 15, respectively.)
On each Monthly Processing Date, we deduct from Cash Value a $5 per month
administrative expense charge. (See "Charges and Deductions--Monthly
Administrative Charge," page 15.)
We deduct a surrender charge if the Policy is surrendered or the Cash Value
is applied under a Settlement Option prior to the 15th Policy Year (or the 15th
Policy Year following an increase in Specified Amount). (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 14.)
You indirectly bear the annual Fund operating expenses of the Portfolios in
which the Subaccounts invest. These may include management fees, 12b-1 fees and
other expenses. (See "Charges and Deductions--Charges Against the Funds," page
16.)
TAX TREATMENT UNDER CURRENT FEDERAL TAX LAW
Under existing tax law, any increase in Cash Value is generally not taxable
until a distribution occurs through a withdrawal or surrender. Generally,
distributions are not included in income until the amount of the distributions
exceeds the premiums paid for the Policy. If the Policy is a modified endowment
contract, a loan is also treated as a distribution. Generally, distributions
from a modified endowment contract (including loans) are included in income to
the extent the Cash Value exceeds premiums paid. A change of Owners, an
assignment, a loan or a surrender of the Policy may have tax consequences.
Death Benefits payable under the Policy are generally excludable from the
gross income of the Beneficiary. As a result, the Beneficiary would not be
subject to income tax on the Death Benefit. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page
21.)
FREE-LOOK PERIOD
You may examine a Policy and return it for a refund during the Free-Look
Period. The length of the Free-Look Period depends on the state where the Policy
is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date you receive the
Policy. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Free-Look Period and Exchange Rights,"
page 14.)
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES, SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS
Tables in Appendix A illustrate Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits. These illustrations are based on Policy charges and hypothetical
assumed rates of return for the Separate Account. The Separate Account's
investment experience will differ, and actual Policy values will be higher or
lower than those illustrated.
KILICO AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
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.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") was established
as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate Account
receives and invests net premiums under the Policy. In addition, the Separate
Account may receive and invest net premiums for other variable life insurance
policies offered by KILICO.
4
<PAGE> 97
The Separate Account is administered and accounted for as part of our
general business. The income, capital gains or capital losses of the Separate
Account are credited to or charged against Separate Account assets, without
regard to the income, capital gains or capital losses of any other separate
account or any other business we conduct. The Policy benefits are our
obligations.
The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") as a unit investment trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). However, the Commission does not supervise
the management, investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or
KILICO.
The Policy currently offers twelve Subaccounts. Additional Subaccounts may
be added in the future. Not all Subaccounts may be available in all
jurisdictions or under all Policies.
THE FUNDS
The Separate Account invests in shares of the Kemper Variable Series, Janus
Aspen Series, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, Franklin Templeton Variable
Insurance Products Trust and Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund. Each is a
series type mutual fund registered as an open-end management investment company.
(Effective May 1, 2000, the funds of Templeton Variable Products Series Fund
merged into similar corresponding funds of Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance
Products Trust.)
The Commission does not supervise their management, investment practices or
policies. The Funds provide investment vehicles for variable life insurance and
variable annuity contracts. Shares of the Funds currently are sold only to
insurance company separate accounts and certain qualified retirement plans. In
addition to the Separate Account, shares of the Funds may be sold to variable
life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts of insurance companies not
affiliated with KILICO. It is conceivable that in the future it may be
disadvantageous for variable life insurance separate accounts of companies
unaffiliated with KILICO, or for variable life insurance separate accounts,
variable annuity separate accounts and qualified retirement plans to invest
simultaneously in the Funds. Currently, we do not foresee disadvantages to
variable life insurance owners, variable annuity owners or qualified retirement
plans. The Funds have an obligation to monitor events for material conflicts
between owners and determine what action, if any, should be taken. In addition,
if we believe that a Fund's response to any of those events or conflicts
insufficiently protects Owners, we will take appropriate action on our own.
The Separate Account invests in the portfolios of the Funds. The assets of
each portfolio are held separate from the assets of the other portfolios, and
each portfolio has its own distinct investment objective and policies. Each
portfolio operates as a separate investment fund, and the income, gains or
losses of one portfolio generally have no effect on the investment performance
of any other portfolio.
KEMPER VARIABLE SERIES
The Kemper Variable Series portfolios in which the Separate Account invests
are summarized below:
KEMPER HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO: This Portfolio seeks to provide a high level
of current income.

Value Management L.L.C. ("DVM") serves as sub-adviser for the KVS Dreman High
Return Equity Portfolio. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement between
SKI and DVM, DVM manages the investment and reinvestment of the Portfolio's
assets in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and limitations
and subject to the supervision of SKI and the Board of Trustees.

information, including a description of risks involved in investing in the
Portfolios, is found in the Funds' prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information. The Funds' prospectuses accompany this Prospectus. The Funds'
Statements of Additional Information are available from us upon request.
CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the shares held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the portfolios
and to substitute shares of another portfolio or of another investment company,
if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in
our judgment further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. We may also eliminate or
combine one or more subaccounts, transfer assets, or substitute one subaccount
for another subaccount, if, in our discretion, marketing, tax or investment
conditions warrant. We will not substitute any shares attributable to an
6
<PAGE> 99
Owner's interest in a Subaccount without notice to the Owner and the
Commission's prior approval, if required. Nothing contained in this Prospectus
shall prevent the Separate Account from purchasing other securities for other
series or classes of policies, or from permitting a conversion between series or
classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Owners.
We also reserve the right to establish additional subaccounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or
in shares of another investment company. New subaccounts may be established
when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
New subaccounts may be made available to existing Owners as we determine.
If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting
interests under the Policy, the Separate Account may be:
- operated as a management company under the 1940 Act;
- deregistered under that Act in the event such registration is no longer
required; or
- combined with our other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by
law, we may also transfer assets of the Separate Account to another
separate account, or to the General Account.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
AMOUNTS ALLOCATED OR TRANSFERRED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT ARE PART OF OUR
GENERAL ACCOUNT, SUPPORTING INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE
FIXED ACCOUNT ARE NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT"),
AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 ("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED
ACCOUNT NOR ANY FIXED ACCOUNT INTERESTS GENERALLY ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THE 1933 OR 1940 ACTS. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE STAFF OF THE COMMISSION
HAS NOT REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE FIXED
ACCOUNT. STATEMENTS REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE
GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF STATEMENTS MADE IN PROSPECTUSES.
Under the Fixed Account Option, we pay a fixed interest rate for stated
periods. This Prospectus describes only the aspects of the Policy involving the
Separate Account, unless we refer to fixed accumulation and settlement options.
We guarantee the interest rate credited to the Fixed Account will be at
least 3% annually. At our discretion, we may credit interest in excess of 3%. We
reserve the right to change the rate of excess interest credited. We also
reserve the right to declare different rates of excess interest depending on
when amounts are allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. As a result,
amounts at any designated time may be credited with a different rate of excess
interest than the rate previously credited to such amounts and to amounts
allocated or transferred at any other designated time.

THE POLICY
POLICY ISSUE
Before we issue a Policy, we must receive a completed application and a
full initial premium at our home office. We ordinarily issue a Policy only for
Insureds Age 1 through 75 who supply satisfactory evidence of insurability.
Acceptance of an application is subject to our underwriting requirements. If we
decline an application, we will refund the Cash Value in the Scudder VLIF Money
Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and deductions
against premiums.
After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to you,
insurance coverage begins as of the Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
PREMIUMS
We must receive premiums at our home office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks must be made payable to KILICO.
PLANNED PREMIUMS. You specify a Planned Premium payment on the application
that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified period of time.
However, you are not required to pay Planned Premiums.
The minimum monthly premium is $50. Other minimums are: single premium
$5,000; annual $600; semi-annual $300; quarterly $150. The amount, frequency and
period of time over which you pay premiums may affect whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract. Accordingly, variations from
Planned Premiums may cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract,
and therefore subject to different tax treatment from conventional life
insurance contracts for certain pre-death distributions (See "Federal Tax
Matters".)
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, the duration of the Policy depends upon the Policy's Surrender
Value. Even if Planned Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse any time
Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the current monthly deductions and a
grace period expires without sufficient payment. (See "Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement.")
A guarantee period and a monthly guarantee premium are specified in the
Policy Specifications. The guarantee period ends on the third Policy
anniversary. During the guarantee period, the Policy remains in force and no
grace period will begin, provided that the total premiums received, minus any
withdrawals and any Debt, equals or exceeds the monthly guarantee premium times
the number of months since the Policy Date, including the current month.
The full initial premium is the only premium required to be paid under a
Policy. However, additional premiums may be necessary to keep the Policy in
force. (See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.") We may reject or
limit any premium payment below the current minimum premium amount, or that
would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium. We may
return all or a portion of a premium payment will be rejected and returned to
the Policy owner if it would disqualify the Policy as life insurance under the
Internal Revenue Code.
Certain charges are deducted from each premium payment. (See "Charges and
Deductions.") The remainder of the premium, known as the net premium, is
allocated as described below under "Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account
Value."
POLICY DATE. The Policy Date is used to determine Policy Years and Monthly
Processing Dates. The Policy Date is the date that insurance coverage takes
effect. If this date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the Policy Date will
be the first of the following month.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The initial net premium is allocated to the
Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value remains in the
Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount until the Trade Date. On the Trade Date,
the Separate Account Value in the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount is
allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account as specified in the
application. Additional premiums received will be allocated as specified in the
application or in later written instructions received from you. The minimum
amount of any premium that may be allocated to a Subaccount is $50. Cash Value
may be allocated to a total of 19 Subaccounts at any given time.
The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. You bear the entire investment risk.
8
<PAGE> 101
TRANSFERS. After the Trade Date, Separate Account Value may be transferred
among the Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account. These transfers are limited to
one transfer every fifteen days. All transfers made during a business day are
treated as one transfer.
Fixed Account Value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of Fixed Account Value may be made once each Policy Year in the thirty
day period following the end of a Policy Year.
Transfer requests must be in writing in a form acceptable to us, or by
telephone authorization under forms we authorize. (See "General
Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.") The minimum partial transfer amount
is $500. No partial transfer may be made if the value of your remaining interest
in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are to be transferred,
would be less than $500 after the transfer. We may waive these minimums for
reallocations under established third party asset allocation programs. Transfers
are based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined following our receipt
of valid, complete transfer instructions. We may suspend, modify or terminate
the transfer provision. We reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. We disclaim all liability if we follow in good faith instructions
given in accordance with our procedures, including requests for personal
identifying information, that are designed to limit unauthorized use of the
privilege. Therefore, you bear the risk of loss in the event of a fraudulent
telephone transfer.
If you authorize a third party to transact transfers on your behalf, we
will reallocate the Cash Value pursuant to the authorized asset allocation
program. However, we do not offer or participate in any asset allocation program
and we take no responsibility for any third party asset allocation program. We
may suspend or cancel acceptance of a third party's instructions at any time and
may restrict the investment options available for transfer under third party
authorizations.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. You may elect to have transfers made
automatically among the Subaccounts on an annual or a quarterly basis so that
Cash Value is reallocated to match the percentage allocations in your predefined
premium allocation elections. Transfers under this program are not subject to
the $500 minimum transfer limitation. An election to participate in the
automatic asset reallocation program must be in writing on our form and returned
to our home office.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. The Policy will lapse when the Surrender Value is insufficient to
cover the current monthly deductions and a grace period expires without a
sufficient payment. (See "Charges and Deductions.")
The grace period is 61 days. The grace period begins when we send notice
that the Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions. If we
do not receive a premium payment or loan repayment during the grace period
sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months, the Policy will lapse
and terminate without value.
If payment is received within the grace period, the premium or loan
repayment will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in
accordance with current allocation instructions. Amounts over and above the
amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be paid as additional premiums, to the
extent permissible. (See "The Policy--Premiums.")
We will not accept any payment causing the total premium payment to exceed
the maximum payment permitted for life insurance under the guideline premium
limits. However, you may voluntarily repay a portion of Debt to avoid lapse. You
may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments. (See "Federal Tax
Matters.")
The death benefit payable during the grace period will be the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to the grace period, less any Debt and any unpaid
monthly deductions.
REINSTATEMENT. If a Policy lapses because of insufficient Surrender Value
to cover the monthly deductions, and it has not been surrendered for its
Surrender Value, it may be reinstated at any time within three years after the
date of lapse. Tax consequences may affect the decision to reinstate.
Reinstatement is subject to:
- receipt of evidence of insurability satisfactory to us;
- payment of a minimum premium sufficient to cover monthly deductions for
the grace period and to keep the Policy in force three months; and
- payment or reinstatement of any Debt which existed at the date of
termination of coverage.
The effective date of reinstatement of a Policy is the Monthly Processing
Date that coincides with or next follows the date we approve the application for
reinstatement. Suicide and incontestability provisions apply from the effective
date of reinstatement.

POLICY BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
DEATH BENEFITS
While the Policy is in force (see "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement--Lapse,"
above), the death benefit is based on the death benefit option, the Specified
Amount and the table of death benefit percentages applicable at the time of
death. The death benefit proceeds equal the death benefit minus any Debt and
minus any monthly deductions due during the grace period.
You select in the application one of two death benefit options: Option A or
Option B. Subject to certain restrictions, you can change the death benefit
option selected. So long as the Policy remains in force, the death benefit under
either option will never be less than the Specified Amount.
You choose the Specified Amount on the application. The Specified Amount is
stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified Amount is $50,000.
OPTION A. Under Option A, the death benefit equals the Specified Amount or,
if greater, the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period
during which the Insured dies) multiplied by a death benefit percentage. The
death benefit percentages vary according to the Insured's age. The death benefit
percentage is 250% for an Insured at Age 40 or under, and it declines for older
Insureds. In setting the death benefit percentages, we seek to ensure that the
Policy will qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment. A table showing
the death benefit percentages is in the Appendix B to this Prospectus and in the
Policy.
OPTION B. Under Option B, the death benefit equals the Specified Amount
plus the Cash Value (determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during
which the Insured dies) or, if greater, the Cash Value multiplied by a death
benefit percentage. The specified percentage is the same as that used in
connection with Option A. The death benefit under Option B always varies as Cash
Value varies.
EXAMPLES OF OPTIONS A AND B. The following examples demonstrate the
determination of death benefits under Options A and B. The examples show three
Policies--Policies I, II, and III--with the same Specified Amount, but different
Cash Values and assume that the Insured is Age 35 at the time of death and that
there is no outstanding Debt.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
POLICY I POLICY II POLICY III
-------- --------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Specified Amount.......................... $100,000 $100,000 $100,000
Cash Value on Date of Death............... $ 25,000 $ 50,000 $ 75,000
Death Benefit Percentage.................. 250% 250% 250%
Death Benefit Under Option A.............. $100,000 $125,000 $187,500
Death Benefit Under Option B.............. $125,000 $150,000 $187,500
</TABLE>
Under Option A, the death benefit for Policy I equals $100,000 since the
death benefit is the greater of the Specified Amount ($100,000) or the Cash
Value at the date of death times the death benefit percentage ($25,000 X 250% =
$62,500). For both Policies II and III under Option A, the Cash Value times the
death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000 for Policy II; $75,000 X
250% = $187,500 for Policy III) is greater than the Specified Amount ($100,000),
so the death benefit equals the higher value. Under Option B, the death benefit
for Policy I equals $125,000 since the death benefit is the greater of Specified
Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $25,000 = $125,000) or the Cash Value times
the death benefit percentage ($25,000 X 250% = $62,500). Similarly, in Policy
II, Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 + $50,000 = $150,000) is greater
than Cash Value times the death benefit percentage ($50,000 X 250% = $125,000).
In Policy III, the Cash Value times by the death benefit percentage ($75,000 X
250% = $187,500) is greater than the Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000
+ $75,000 = $175,000), so the death benefit equals the higher value.
All calculations of death benefit are made as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the Insured dies. Death benefit proceeds may be paid to a
Beneficiary in a lump sum or under the Policy's settlements options.
Death Benefits ordinarily are paid within seven days after we receive all
required documentation. Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See
"General Provisions--Postponement of Payments")
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
After the first Policy Year, you may change the death benefit option from
Option A to Option B, or from Option B to Option A. Changes in the death benefit
option may be made, in writing once per Policy Year. The effective date of the
change is the next Monthly Processing Date after we accept the change.
10
<PAGE> 103
A change in the death benefit from Option A to Option B reduces the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option B at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option A immediately prior to the change. The change in option
affects the determination of the death benefit since Cash Value will then be
added to the new Specified Amount, and the death benefit then varies with Cash
Value.
A change in the death benefit from Option B to Option A increases the
Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy's Cash Value. Therefore, the death
benefit payable under Option A at the time of the change equals the amount
payable under Option B immediately prior to the change. However, the change in
option affects the determination of the death benefit since the Cash Value is
not added to the Specified Amount in determining the death benefit. The death
benefit then equals the new Specified Amount (or, if higher, the Cash Value
times the applicable specified percentage).
A change in death benefit option may affect the future monthly cost of
insurance charge, which varies with the net amount at risk. Generally, net
amount at risk is the amount by which the death benefit exceeds Cash Value. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") If the death benefit does
not equal Cash Value times a death benefit percentage under either Options A or
B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease the future net
amount at risk. This would decrease the future cost of insurance charges.
Changing from Option A to Option B generally results in a net amount at risk
that remains level. Such a change, however, results in an increase in the cost
of insurance charges over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase with
the Insured's Age.
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After the first Policy Year, you may increase or decrease the Specified
Amount, subject to our approval. A change in Specified Amount may only be made
once per Policy Year. The minimum change in Specified Amount is $25,000.
Increases are not allowed after the Insured attains age 75. Increasing the
Specified Amount could increase the death benefit. Decreasing the Specified
Amount could decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death
benefit will depend, among other things, upon the selected death benefit option
and the degree to which the death benefit exceeds the Specified Amount prior to
the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of
death benefit and Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase
the net amount at risk, thereby increasing your cost of insurance charge and the
guarantee premium amount. However, an increase in Specified Amount does not
extend the guarantee period. Conversely, a decrease in Specified Amount may
decrease the net amount at risk, thereby decreasing your cost of insurance
charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not decrease the guarantee premium.
Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences. (See "Federal Tax
Matters.")
INCREASES. We require additional evidence of insurability for an increase
in Specified Amount.
DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount is first applied to the most
recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A decrease
is not permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the lesser of the
initial Specified Amount or $50,000. If after a decrease in the Specified
Amount, total premiums paid exceed the tax law's premium limitations, we will
refund the amount exceeding the premium limitations. Some or all of the amount
refunded may be subject to tax. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
We reserve the right to deny a requested decrease in Specified Amount. The
reasons for denial may include:
- our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to fail
the tax guideline premium limitations, or
- our determination that the decrease would cause the Policy to
terminate because the distributions from Cash Value required under the tax
code to effect the decrease exceed Surrender Value.
Requests for change in Specified Amount must be made in writing. The
requested change becomes effective on the Monthly Processing Date on or next
following our acceptance of the request. If the Owner is not the Insured, we
require the Insured's consent.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is alive on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, we pay the Owner the Surrender Value of the Policy. On
the Maturity Date, the Policy terminates and we have no further obligations
under the Policy.

<PAGE> 104
CASH VALUE
Cash Value reflects
- the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts,
- the frequency and amount of premiums paid,
- transfers between Subaccounts,
- withdrawals,
- any Fixed Account or Loan Account values, and
- Policy charges.
You may make partial withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the Policy and
receive the Policy's Surrender Value. (See "Surrender Privilege.") Cash Value is
not guaranteed.
CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. Cash Value is the total of
- Separate Account Value,
- Fixed Account Value, and
- Loan Account value,
Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It is first calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial net premium,
minus the monthly deductions for the first Policy Month. (See "Charges and
Deductions.")
On any Valuation Date, Separate Account Value in any Subaccount equals:
(1) Separate Account Value in the Subaccount at the end of the
preceding Valuation Period times the Investment Experience Factor (defined
below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
(2) Any net premiums received and allocated to the Subaccount during
the current Valuation Period; plus
(3) All amounts transferred to the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period (from a Subaccount, the Fixed Account or the Loan Account
for Policy loan repayment (see "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans,")); minus
(4) The pro rata portion of the monthly cost of insurance charge,
administrative charge, and any other charges assessed to the Subaccount.
(See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge."); minus
(5) All amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(6) All amounts withdrawn from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(7) All amounts loaned from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period.
There will also be Cash Value in the Loan Account if there is a Policy loan
outstanding. The Loan Account is credited with amounts transferred from
Subaccounts for Policy loans. The Loan Account balance accrues daily interest at
an effective annual rate of 3.00%. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy
Loans.")
The Cash Value in the Fixed Account is credited with interest at our
declared annual rate. The annual rate will never be less than 3%.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE. Each Subaccount has its own Accumulation Unit
Value. When net premiums or other amounts are allocated to a Subaccount, units
are purchased based on the Subaccount's Accumulation Unit Value at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the allocation is made. When amounts are
transferred out of, or deducted from, a Subaccount, units are redeemed in a
similar manner.
For each Subaccount, Accumulation Unit Value was initially set at the same
unit value as the net asset value of a share of the underlying Fund. The
Accumulation Unit Value for each subsequent Valuation Period is the Investment
Experience Factor for that Valuation Period times the Accumulation Unit Value
for the preceding Valuation Period. Each Valuation Period has a single
Accumulation Unit Value which applies for each day in the period. The number of
Accumulation Units will not change due to investment experience. The Investment
Experience Factor may be greater or less than one; therefore, the Accumulation
Unit Value may increase or decrease.
12
<PAGE> 105
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FACTOR. The investment experience of the Separate
Account is calculated by applying the Investment Experience Factor to the
Separate Account Value in each Subaccount during a Valuation Period. Each
Subaccount has its own Investment Experience Factor. The Investment Experience
Factor of a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (1) by
(2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:
(1) is the net result of:
a. The net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the investments held in the Subaccount, if the "ex-dividend"
date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or minus
c. a charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the current Valuation
Period which we determine have resulted from the investment operations
of the Subaccount;
(2) is the net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
(3) is the factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.")
POLICY LOANS
After the first Policy Year, you may borrow all or part of the Policy's
maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 90% of Surrender Value. The
amount of any new loan may not exceed the maximum loan amount less Debt on the
date a loan is granted. The minimum amount of a loan is $500. The loan
ordinarily is paid within 7 days after we receive a written loan request,
although payments may be postponed under certain circumstances. (See
"Postponement of Payments," and "Federal Tax Matters.")
On the date a loan is made, the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account. Unless you direct
otherwise, the loan amount is deducted from the Subaccounts and the Fixed
Account in proportion to the values that each bears to the total of Separate
Account Value and Fixed Account Value at the end of the Valuation Period during
which the request is received.
Loan interest is charged at an effective annual rate of 4.5% in the first
nine Policy Years and 3.00% thereafter. Interest not paid when due is added to
the loan amount. Unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of the next Policy Date
anniversary or when coverage ceases. The same interest rates apply to unpaid
interest. When interest is added to the loan amount, we transfer an equal amount
from the Separate Account and the Fixed Account to the Loan Account.
Cash Value in the Loan Account earns 3.00% annual interest. Such interest
is allocated to the Loan Account.
LOAN REPAYMENT. All or any portion of a loan may be repaid at any time.
You must specify that the purpose of a payment is loan repayment; otherwise a
payment is treated as premium. At the time of repayment, the Loan Account is
reduced by the repayment amount, adjusted for the difference between interest
charged and interest earned. The net repayment amount is allocated to the
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account, according to your current allocation
instructions, at the end of the Valuation Period during which the repayment is
received. These transfers are not limited by the 15 day transfer restriction.
EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay Policy charges. If Surrender Value on the
day preceding a Monthly Processing Date is less than the next monthly deductions
we will notify you. (See "General Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.")
The Policy will lapse and terminate without value, unless we receive a
sufficient payment within 61 days of the date notice is sent. (See "The
Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan affects Cash Value. The
collateral for the outstanding loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does
not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or earn current interest in
the Fixed Account. If the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the
amount that would have been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the
Cash Value will, and the Death Benefit may, be higher as a result of the loan.
Conversely, if the amount credited to the Loan Account is less than would have
been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the Cash Value, as well as
the Death Benefit, may be less.
TAX TREATMENT. If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is
treated as a distribution and is includible in income to the extent that Cash
Value exceeds premiums paid. Therefore, a loan may result in federal income tax
and a 10% tax penalty may also apply. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
13
<PAGE> 106
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
If the Insured is alive, you may surrender the Policy for its Surrender
Value. To surrender the Policy, you must return the Policy to us, along with a
written request. Surrender Value equals Cash Value, minus Surrender Charges and
Debt. (See "Surrender Charge," below.)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, you may withdraw a
portion of Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is $500.
During the surrender period, the maximum amount of partial withdrawal is 10% of
the Surrender Value. A $25 withdrawal charge is imposed for each withdrawal.
This charge is deducted after the partial withdrawal amount is determined. (See
"Charges and Deductions.") A withdrawal decreases Cash Value by the amount of
the withdrawal and, if Death Benefit Option A is in effect, reduces Specified
Amount by the amount of the withdrawal.
FREE-LOOK PERIOD AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
During the Free-Look Period, you may examine the Policy and return it for a
refund. The time period depends on where the Policy is issued; however, it will
be at least 10 days from the date you receive the Policy, or, 45 days after you
complete the application for insurance, whichever is later. The amount of the
refund is the sum of Cash Value in the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount plus
the total amount of monthly deductions and deductions from Premium. To receive a
refund you should return the Policy to us or to the agent who sold the Policy.
At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, you may
exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life insurance
policy then currently offered by us or an affiliate. Evidence of insurability is
not required. The amount of the new policy may be, at your election, either the
initial Death Benefit or the same net amount at risk as the Policy on the
exchange date. All Debt must be repaid and the Policy must be surrendered before
the exchange is made. The new policy will have the same Policy Date and issue
age as the exchanged Policy.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
We deduct a state and local premium tax charge of 2.5% from each premium
payment before net premium is allocated. This charge reimburses us for paying
state premium taxes. We expect to pay an average state premium tax rate of
approximately 2.5%, but the actual premium tax attributable to a Policy may be
more or less. In addition, a charge for federal taxes, equal to 1% of each
premium payment, is deducted to compensate us for higher corporate income taxes
under the current Internal Revenue Code.
COST OF INSURANCE CHARGE
We deduct a cost of insurance charge monthly from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account. This charge covers our anticipated mortality costs. The cost of
insurance charge is deducted monthly in advance and is allocated pro rata among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.
We deduct the cost of insurance by cancelling units on the Policy Date and
on each Monthly Processing Date thereafter. If the Monthly Processing Date falls
on a day other than a Valuation Date, the charge is determined on the next
Valuation Date. The cost of insurance charge is determined by multiplying the
cost of insurance rate (see below) by the "net amount at risk" for each Policy
month. The net amount at risk equals the Death Benefit minus the Cash Value on
the Monthly Processing Date.
COST OF INSURANCE RATE. The monthly cost of insurance rates are based on
the issue age, sex, rate class of the Insured and Policy Year. We determine the
monthly cost of insurance rates based on our expectations as to future mortality
experience. Any change in the schedule of rates applies to all individuals of
the same class as the Insured. The cost of insurance rate may never exceed those
shown in the table of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates in the Policy.
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on the 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables, Age
Nearest Birthday, published by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners.
RATE CLASS. The rate class of an Insured will affect the cost of insurance
rate. We currently place Insureds in preferred rate classes and rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk. The cost of insurance rates for rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk are multiples of the preferred rates. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Rate," above.)
14
<PAGE> 107
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a daily charge, at an annual rate of 0.90%, from the Subaccounts
for mortality and expense risks we assume.
The mortality and expense risk we assume is that our estimates of longevity
and of the expenses incurred over the life of the Policy will not be correct.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We deduct a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse us for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to Owners. This charge is designed only to
reimburse us for actual administrative expenses. This charge is $5 per month.
OTHER CHARGES
SURRENDER CHARGE. We deduct a Surrender Charge from Cash Value if the
Policy is surrendered or Cash Value is applied under a Settlement Option during
the first 14 Policy Years. A Surrender Charge is also assessed during the first
14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. The Surrender Charge
is:
(a) an administrative component (issue charge); plus
(b) a sales component (deferred sales charge); times
(c) the Surrender Charge percentage.
During the 14 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount, an
additional Surrender Charge applies. The additional charge is calculated as
described below based on the amount of the increase, years commencing on the
date of the increase and Target Premium associated with the increase.
The Surrender Charge is determined based upon the date we receive the
written request for surrender. In no case will the Surrender Charge be greater
than the maximum allowable under the Standard Non-forfeiture law. It is
possible, although unlikely, that in the early period of a Policy, the Surrender
Charge, which includes an issue charge component and deferred sales charge
component, could exceed premiums paid.
(a) Issue Charge. The issue charge is a level charge of $5.00 per thousand
of Specified Amount and the sum of coverage amounts for any other insureds.
This charge covers the administrative expenses associated with underwriting
and issuing a Policy. These expenses include the costs of processing
applications, conducting medical examinations, determining insurability and the
Insured's underwriting class, and establishing Policy records.
(b) Deferred Sales Charge. The deferred sales charge is (i) 30% of premiums
paid up to one Target Premium shown in the Policy plus (ii) for the sum of all
premiums paid in excess of one Target Premium ("excess premium charge"), a
percentage which varies by the issue age of the Insured as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Excess Premium Charge Issue Ages
--------------------- ----------
<S> <C>
7.5% 0-65
5.0% 66-75
</TABLE>
The deferred sales charge reimburses us for some of the expenses of
distributing the Policies.
(c) Surrender Charge Percentage. For issue ages up to age 66, the Surrender
Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-5 and declines by 10% each year in
Policy Years 6-14 until reaching zero at the beginning of Policy Year 15. For
issue ages 66-75, the Surrender Charge percentage is 100% for Policy Years 1-3
and declines by 10%

each year in Policy Years 4-11 and by 5% in Policy Years 12-14 until reaching
zero at the beginning of Policy Year 15.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We impose a charge of $25 for each partial withdrawal.
This charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses related to the
withdrawal.
TRANSFER CHARGE. We reserve the right to charge up to $25 for each
transfer. The transfer charge reimburses us for the administrative expenses
related to the transfer.
TAXES. Currently, no charges are made against the Separate Account for
federal, state or other taxes attributable to the Separate Account. We may,
however, in the future impose charges for income taxes or other taxes
attributable to the Separate Account or the Policy. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS. Under investment advisory agreements with each
Fund, the investment manager and/or adviser provides investment advisory and/or
management services for the portfolios. The Funds are responsible for advisory
fees and various other expenses. Investment advisory fees and expenses differ
with respect to each of the portfolios of the Funds and are subject to change.
(See "The Funds.")
Each portfolio may incur annual fund operating expenses consisting of
management fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses. The management fees for each
portfolio for the year ending December 31, 1999 as a percentage of average net
assets were as follows:
- - Kemper High Yield 0.60%
- - Kemper Government Securities 0.55%
- - Kemper Small Cap Growth 0.65%
- - KVS Dreman High Return Equity 0.75%
- - Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation 0.65%
- - PIMCO Low Duration Bond 0.40%
16
<PAGE> 109
- - PIMCO Foreign Bond 0.60%
- - Templeton Developing Markets
Securities Fund 1.25%
- - Scudder VLIF International 0.853%
- - Scudder VLIF Growth and Income 0.475%
- - Scudder VLIF Bond 0.475%
- - Scudder VLIF Money Market 0.370%
Pursuant to their respective agreements with Kemper Variable Series, the
investment manager and the accounting agent have agreed, for the one 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 the KVS
Dreman High Return Equity portfolio to 0.87%. The amount set forth above
reflects actual expenses for the past fiscal year, which were at or lower than
this expense limit.
The other expenses for each portfolio for the year ending December 31, 1999
as a percentage of average net assets were as follows:
- - Kemper High Yield 0.07%
- - Kemper Government Securities 0.08%
- - Kemper Small Cap Growth 0.06%
- - KVS Dreman High Return Equity 0.11%
- - Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation 0.04%
- - PIMCO Low Duration Bond 0.38%
- - PIMCO Foreign Bond 0.65%
- - Templeton Developing Markets
Securities Fund 0.31%
- - Scudder VLIF International 0.18%
- - Scudder VLIF Growth and Income 0.08%
- - Scudder VLIF Bond 0.09%
- - Scudder VLIF Money Market 0.06%
Expenses for Janus Aspen Capital Appreciation portfolio are based upon
expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, restated to reflect a
reduction in the management fee. Expenses are shown without the effect of any
expense offset arrangements.
The Templeton Developing Markets Securities Fund's class 2 distribution
plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" is described in the Fund's prospectus. While the
maximum amount payable under the Fund's class 2 Rule 12b-1 Plan is 0.35% per
year of the Fund's average daily net assets, the Board of Trustees of Franklin
Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust has set the current rate at 0.25%
per year.
On February 8, 2000, portfolio shareholders approved a merger and reorganization
that combined the portfolio with the Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund,
effective May 1, 2000. The shareholders of the Fund had approved new management
fees, which apply to the combined fund effective May 1, 2000. The table shows
restated total expenses based on the new fees and the assets of the portfolio as
of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund. However, if the
table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets, the portfolio's
expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: management fees 1.25%, 12b-1
fee 0.25% and other expenses 0.29%.
Other expenses for PIMCO Low Duration Bond portfolio reflect a 0.25%
administrative fee and 0.13% representing the portfolio's organizational
expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees. Other expenses for PIMCO Foreign Bond
portfolio reflect a 0.30% administrative fee, 0.20% interest expense and 0.15%
representing the portfolio's organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees'
fees. Pacific Investment Management Company has contractually agreed to reduce
total annual portfolio operating expenses to the extent they would exceed, due
to the payment of organizational expenses and Trustees' fees, 0.65% and 0.90%,
respectively, of average daily net assets for the PIMCO Low Duration Bond and
Foreign Bond portfolios. Taking into effect these reductions, total portfolio
Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 would have been: for the
PIMCO Low Duration Bond portfolio, .65% and for the PIMCO Foreign Bond
portfolio, 1.10%. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, PIMCO may recoup these
waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years,
provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual
expense limit. For the PIMCO Foreign Bond portfolio the ratio of net expenses to
average net assets excluding interest expense is 0.90%.
For additional information about the fees and expenses of the Funds, see
"The Funds", page 5, and the prospectuses for the Funds.
The Fund(s) may pay 12b-1 fees to us or our affiliates for support services
relating to Fund shares. We may receive compensation from the investment
advisers for services related to the Funds. This compensation will be consistent
with the services rendered or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement.
For more information concerning investment advisory fees and other charges
against the portfolios, see the Funds' prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus
and Statements of Additional Information available from us upon request.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. A charge of $50 is imposed to enter into a
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. In addition, a $25 charge is imposed each time a
change is made to the plan. These charges reimburse us for administrative
expenses of this plan. (See "Systematic Withdrawal Plan.")
17
<PAGE> 110
REDUCTION OF CHARGES. We may reduce certain charges and the minimum
initial premium in special circumstances that result in lower sales,
administrative, or mortality expenses. For example, special circumstances may
exist in connection with group or sponsored arrangements, sales to our
policyowners, or sales to employees or clients of members of the Kemper group of
companies. The amounts of any reductions will reflect the reduced sales effort
and administrative costs resulting from, or the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, the special circumstances. Reductions will not unfairly
discriminate against any person, including the affected Owners and owners of all
other policies funded by the Separate Account.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
You, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election by you is in
effect, may elect to have the Death Benefit or Surrender Value paid in a lump
sum or have the amount applied to one of the Settlement Options. Payments under
these options will not be affected by the investment experience of the Separate
Account after proceeds are applied under a Settlement Option. The payee elects
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The option selected must
result in a payment that at least equals our required minimum in effect when the
option is chosen. If at any time the payments are less than the minimum, we may
increase the period between payments to quarterly, semi-annual or annual or make
the payment in one lump sum.
Benefit payments are based on Surrender Value calculated on the day
preceding the date the first benefit payment is due. The payment will be based
on the Settlement Option elected in accordance with the appropriate settlement
option table.
OPTION 1--INCOME FOR SPECIFIED PERIOD. We pay income for the period and
payment mode elected. The period elected must at least 5 years, but not more
than 30 years.
OPTION 2--LIFE INCOME. We pay monthly income to the payee during the
payee's lifetime. If this Option is elected, annuity payments terminate
automatically and immediately on the death of the payee without regard to the
number or total amount of payments made. Thus, it is possible for an individual
to receive only one payment if death occurred prior to the date the second
payment was due.
OPTION 3--LIFE INCOME WITH INSTALLMENTS GUARANTEED. We pay monthly income
for the guaranteed period elected and thereafter for the remaining lifetime of
the payee. The available guaranteed periods are 5, 10, 15 or 20 years.
OPTION 4--JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. We pay the full monthly income while
both payees are living. Upon the death of either payee, the income continues
during the lifetime of the surviving payee. The surviving payee's income is
based on the percentage designated (50%, 66 2/3%, 75% or 100%) at election time.
Payments terminate automatically and immediately upon the death of the surviving
payee without regard to the number or total amount of payments received.
We must consent to any other payment methods.
The guaranteed monthly payments are based on an interest rate of 2.50% per
year and, where mortality is involved, the "1983 Table a" individual mortality
table developed by the Society of Actuaries, with a 5 year setback.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
GENERAL. Payment of any amount due upon: (a) Policy termination at the
Maturity Date, (b) surrender of the Policy, (c) payment of any Policy loan, or
(d) death of the Insured, may be postponed whenever:
(1) The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend
and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
restricted as determined by the Commission;
(2) The Commission by order permits postponement for the protection of
owners; or
(3) An emergency exists, as determined by the Commission, as a result
of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not
reasonably practicable to determine the value of the net assets of the
Separate Account.
Transfers may also be postponed under these circumstances.
18
<PAGE> 111
PAYMENT NOT HONORED BY BANK. The portion of any payment due under the
Policy which is derived from any amount paid to us by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as we determine that such instrument has been honored
by the bank upon which it was drawn.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, any endorsements, and the application constitute the entire
contract between you and KILICO. All statements made by the Insured or contained
in the application will, in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation, be deemed
representations and not warranties.
Only the President, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary of KILICO is
authorized to change or waive the terms of a Policy. Any change or waiver must
be in writing and signed by one of those persons.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX
If the age or sex of the Insured is misstated, the Death Benefit will be
adjusted to reflect the correct sex and age.
INCONTESTABILITY
We may contest the validity of a Policy if any material misrepresentations
are made in the application. However, a Policy will be incontestable after it
has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the
Issue Date. A new two year contestability period will apply to increases in
insurance and to reinstatements, beginning with the effective date of the
increase or reinstatement.
SUICIDE
Suicide by the Insured, while sane or insane, within two years from the
Issue Date (or within two years following an increase in Specified Amount) is a
risk not assumed under the Policy. Our liability for such suicide is limited to
the premiums paid less any withdrawals and Debt. When the laws of the state in
which a Policy is delivered require less than a two year period, the period or
amount paid will be as stated in such laws.
ASSIGNMENT
No Policy assignment is binding on us until we receive it. We assume no
responsibility for the validity of the assignment. Any claim under an assignment
is subject to proof of the extent of the assignee's interest. If the Policy is
assigned, your rights and the rights of the Beneficiary are subject to the
rights of the assignee of record.
NONPARTICIPATING
The Policy does not pay dividends. It does not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
You may designate a new Owner while the Insured is alive.
You designate primary and secondary Beneficiaries in the application. We
rely upon the latest filed change of beneficiary. If the Insured dies, and no
designated Beneficiary is alive at that time, we will pay the Insured's estate.
The interest of any Beneficiary may be subject to that of an assignee.
In order to change the Owner or a designated Beneficiary, you must sign our
form. The change is effective when you sign the form, but we are not liable for
payments made or actions taken before we receive the signed form.
19
<PAGE> 112
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We keep the Separate Account records. We send you, at your last known
address of record, an annual report showing:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- Death Benefit - partial withdrawals
- Accumulation Unit Value - transfers
- Cash Value - Policy loans and repayments
- Surrender Value - Policy charges
- additional premium payments
</TABLE>
We also send you confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions,
as well as annual and semi-annual Fund reports.
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
Send written notices or requests to our home office: Kemper Investors Life
Insurance Company, Customer Service, 1 Kemper Drive, Long Grove, Illinois 60049.
Please include the Policy number and the Insured's full name. We send notices to
your address shown in the application unless an address change is filed with us.
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
The following optional insurance benefits are available by Rider at the
time of application:
- waiver of monthly deductions due to Insured's total disability,
- term insurance on the Insured's dependent children,
- acceleration of a portion of the death benefit due to Insured's
terminal illness, and
- term insurance on additional insureds.
The cost of these benefits is added to the monthly deduction. These
benefits and restrictions are described in the Rider. We provide samples of
these provisions upon written request.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, Cash Value in the Fixed Account,
the Scudder VLIF Money Market Subaccount or the Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount ("DCA Subaccount") is automatically transferred monthly to other
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. A Policy owner may enroll any time by
completing our Dollar Cost Averaging form. Transfers are made on the 10th day of
the month. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business days before
the transfer date.
Transfers commence on the first transfer date following the Trade Date. The
minimum transfer amount is $500 per Subaccount or Fixed Account. In order to
enroll, Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount must be at least $10,000. Dollar Cost
Averaging automatically ends if Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount is less than
the amount designated to be transferred. Cash Value remaining in the DCA
Subaccount will be transferred.
Dollar Cost Averaging ends if:
- the number of designated monthly transfers has been completed,
- Cash Value attributable to the DCA Subaccount is insufficient to
complete the next transfer,
- we receive your written termination at least 5 business days before
the next transfer date, or
- the Policy is surrendered.
We will give 30 days notice if we amend the Dollar Cost Averaging program.
We may terminate the program at any time.
You may change Dollar Cost Averaging instructions by completing our
enrollment form. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business days
(10 business days for Fixed Account transfers), before the next transfer date.
To participate in Dollar Cost Averaging, you may have Cash Value in the
Fixed Account and no more than 8 non-DCA Subaccounts.
20
<PAGE> 113
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
We offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") allowing you to preauthorize
periodic withdrawals after the first Policy Year. You instruct us to withdraw
selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or up to 2 Subaccounts, on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Your periodic payment must be at least
$500. These periodic payments are partial withdrawals and are subject to
surrender charges. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privileges," page
14.) The $25 withdrawal charge does not apply. However, we charge $50 to
establish an SWP and a $25 charge each time a change is made. These charges
reimburse us for SWP administrative expenses. Periodic payments may be subject
to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties. (See "Federal Tax Matters.") An
SWP application and additional information may be obtained from us or from your
representative. We will give 30 days notice if we amend the SWP. The SWP may be
terminated at any time by you or us.
DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
The Policy is sold by licensed insurance representatives who represent us
and who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that are registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Policy is distributed through the
principal underwriter, Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS"), our
affiliate. IBS is engaged in the sale and distribution of other variable life
policies and annuities.
The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives is
approximately 63% of premiums up to the commission target premium and 2.5% of
excess premium in the first year and 2.5% of total premium in renewal years two
through ten. Beginning in the second Policy Year, a service fee on assets which
have been maintained and serviced may also be paid. In addition, certain
overrides and production and managerial bonuses may be paid. These additional
amounts may constitute a substantial portion of total commissions and fees paid.
Firms to which service fees and commissions may be paid include affiliated
broker-dealers. In addition to the commissions described above, we may pay
additional promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to
licensed broker-dealers that sell the Policy. These incentives may be offered to
certain broker-dealers that sell or are expected to sell certain minimums during
specified periods.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
This discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Policy is not
exhaustive, does not cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice.
The federal income tax treatment of the Policy is unclear in certain
circumstances, and a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted with
regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This discussion is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), Treasury
Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this
Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the
Treasury Department, and the courts.
This discussion does not address state or local tax consequences, nor
federal estate or gift tax consequences, associated with owning the Policy. IN
ADDITION, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY TAX TREATMENT--FEDERAL, STATE OR
LOCAL--OF ANY POLICY OR OF ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING A POLICY.
OUR TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate
Account are treated as part of our total operations. The operations of the
Separate Account do not materially affect our federal income tax liability
because we are allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of
the Separate Account is applied to increase Cash Value. We may incur state and
local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these taxes are
not significant. Accordingly, we do not charge or credit the Separate Account
for federal, state or local taxes. However, our federal income taxes are
increased because of the federal tax law's treatment of deferred acquisition
costs. Accordingly, we charge 1% of each premium payment to compensate us for
our higher corporate income tax liability.
If there is a material change in law, charges or credits may be made to the
Separate Account for taxes or reserves for taxes. These charges or credits are
determined independently of the taxes we actually pay.
21
<PAGE> 114
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code establishes a definition of life
insurance which, in part, places limitations on the amount of premiums that may
be paid and the Cash Value that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. We
believe the Policy meets this definition. We reserve the right to refund
premiums and earnings thereon, increase the Death Benefit (which may result in
higher Policy charges), or take any other action we deem necessary to ensure the
Policy's compliance with the tax definition of life insurance. The Death Benefit
is generally excludable from the Beneficiary's gross income. Interest and other
income credited are not taxable unless certain withdrawals are made (or are
deemed to be made) from the Policy prior to the Insured's death, as discussed
below. This tax treatment will only apply, however, if (1) the investments of
the Separate Account are "adequately diversified", and (2) we, rather than you,
are considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code prescribes the manner in which the
Separate Account must be "adequately diversified." If the Separate Account fails
to comply with these diversification standards, the Policy will not be treated
as a life insurance contract, and you will be taxed on the income on the
contract (as defined in the tax law). We expect that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the prescribed diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners of the assets of a segregated asset
account such as the Separate Account. Income and gains from the Separate Account
would then be includible in your gross income. The Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") has stated that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner
of the assets of a separate account if the owner possesses the ability to
exercise investment control over such assets. As of the date of this Prospectus,
no comprehensive guidance has been issued by the IRS clarifying the
circumstances when such investment control by a variable contract owner would
exist. 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 do not know what limits may be set forth in any guidance that the IRS
may issue, or whether any such limits will apply to existing Policies. We
therefore reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to
prevent Policy Owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the
Separate Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would be
successful.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as a life
insurance contract for tax purposes.
TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
Death Benefit is excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under the Code.
Certain transfers of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death
Benefit being taxable. If the Death Benefit is paid under a Settlement Option,
generally payments will be prorated between the non-taxable Death Benefit and
taxable interest.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Any increase in Cash Value is
generally not taxable to you unless amounts are received (or are deemed to be
received) from the Policy before the Insured's death. If the Policy is
surrendered, the excess of Cash Value over the "investment in the contract" is
includible in your income. The "investment in the contract" generally is premium
payments minus non-taxable distributions. As described below, the tax treatment
of amounts distributed, including loans, while the Insured(s) are alive depends
upon whether your Policy is a "modified endowment contract" ("MEC"). The term
"modified endowment contract," or "MEC," is defined below.
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal generally will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of premiums and then as taxable income. Thus, a withdrawal from a
non-MEC Policy generally is not taxable income unless the total withdrawals
exceed the investment in the contract.
DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY YEARS. The Code limits the
amount of premium that may be paid and Cash Value that can accumulate relative
to the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required in connection with a
reduction in benefits during the first 15 years after the Policy is issued (or
if withdrawals are made in anticipation of a reduction in benefits during this
period), some or all of such amounts may be taxable. A reduction in benefits may
result from a decrease in Specified Amount, a change from an Option B Death
Benefit to an Option A Death Benefit, if withdrawals are made, and in certain
other instances.
TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS. If a Policy is not a MEC, a loan generally is
treated as indebtedness of the Owner. As a result, the loan is not taxable
income to you if the Policy remains in force. However, when the interest rate
22
<PAGE> 115
credited to the Loan Account is the same as the interest rate charged for the
loan, it is unclear whether the IRS would consider some or all of the loan
proceeds to be includible in income. Absent further guidance, we will treat all
loans as indebtedness. If a Policy lapses when a loan is outstanding, the amount
of the loan outstanding will be treated as a surrender in determining whether
any amounts are includible in the Owner's income.
Generally, interest paid on Policy Loans or other indebtedness related to
the Policy will not be tax deductible, except in the case of certain
indebtedness under a Policy covering a "key person." A tax adviser should be
consulted before taking any Policy Loan.
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. A Policy is a MEC if (1) the Policy
is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the
Policy is issued on or after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid more rapidly
than permitted under the "7-Pay Test." A Policy fails this test (and thus is a
MEC) if the accumulated amount paid during the 1st 7 Policy Years exceeds the
cumulative sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid to that time
if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of 7 level
annual premiums. Under the Code, a material change of the Policy generally
results in a reapplication of the 7-Pay Test. In addition, any reduction in
benefits during the 7-Pay period will affect the application of this test.
We monitor the Policies and attempt to notify Owners on a timely basis if a
Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. You may then request that we take
available steps to avoid treating the Policy as a MEC.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals are treated first as withdrawals of income and
then as a recovery of premiums. Thus, withdrawals are includible in income to
the extent that Cash Value exceeds the investment in the contract. A Policy loan
is treated as a withdrawal for tax purposes.
If you assign or pledge Cash Value under a MEC (or agree to assign or
pledge any portion), such portion is a withdrawal for tax purposes. The
investment in the contract is increased by the amount includible in income with
respect to any assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by any
other aspect of the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or
repayment). Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a MEC, you
should consult a tax adviser.
PENALTY TAX. Generally, proceeds of a surrender or a withdrawal (or the
amount of any deemed withdrawal) from a MEC are subject to a penalty tax of 10%
of the portion of the proceeds that is includible in income, unless the
surrender or withdrawal is made (1) after you attain age 59 1/2, (2) because you
have become disabled (as defined in the Code), 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, within the meaning of the tax law).
AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from us or our affiliates within
the same calendar year are aggregated and treated as one contract in determining
the tax on withdrawals (including deemed withdrawals). The effects of
aggregation are not always clear; however, it could affect the taxable amount of
a withdrawal (or a deemed withdrawal) and could subject the withdrawal to the
10% penalty tax.
CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH MECS AND NON-MECS
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. Entities that are considering purchasing the Policy, or
that will be Beneficiaries under a Policy, should consult a tax adviser.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Owner, exchanging the Policy, changing
from one Death Benefit option to another, and other Policy changes may have tax
consequences depending on the circumstances of the change. Federal estate and
state and local estate taxes or inheritance taxes and other tax consequences of
ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each
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.
23
<PAGE> 116
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
We withhold and send to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals unless you notify us in writing at the time of withdrawal
that you are electing no withholding. You are always responsible for the payment
of any taxes and early distribution penalties that may be due on the amounts
received. 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.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court held in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and
fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.
The Policy contains cost of insurance rates that distinguish between men and
women. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in
consultation with legal counsel, the impact of federal, state and local laws,
including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, and NORRIS and
subsequent cases on any employment-related insurance or fringe benefit program
before purchasing the Policy.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep these assets segregated
and apart from our general funds. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of the shares of each portfolio of the Funds by each of the
Subaccounts.
VOTING INTERESTS
We vote a Fund's shares held in the Separate Account at regular and special
shareholder meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions received from
persons having voting interests in the corresponding Subaccounts of the Separate
Account. Owners of all Policies participating in each Subaccount are entitled to
give us instructions with respect to that Subaccount. An Owner's proportionate
interest in that Subaccount is measured by units. We determine the number of
shares for which an Owner may give voting instructions as of the record date for
the meeting. Owners will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials
relating to the appropriate portfolio of the Funds.
We vote all Fund shares held in the Separate Account proportionately based
on Owners' instructions. If changes in law permit, we may vote a Fund's shares
in our own right.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as
to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of the Fund
or of one or more of its portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for a portfolio of the Fund. In addition, we may disregard
voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by an Owner in the investment
policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a Fund if we reasonably
disapprove of such changes. A proposed change would be disapproved only if the
change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities,
or if we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on our General
Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may result in
overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons for it in
the next annual report to Owners.
STATE REGULATION OF KILICO
KILICO, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Illinois, is subject to regulation by the Illinois Department of Insurance. We
file an annual statement with the Director of Insurance on or before March 1st
of each year covering our operations and reporting on our financial condition as
of December 31st of the preceding year. Periodically, the Director of Insurance
examines the liabilities and reserves of KILICO and the Separate Account and
certifies to their adequacy.
In addition, we are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the
other states where we operate. Generally, the insurance departments of other
states apply the laws of Illinois in determining our permissible investments.

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 High
Yield Subaccount, Kemper Government Securities Subaccount, Kemper-Dreman High
Return Equity Subaccount, Kemper Small Cap Growth Subaccount (investment options
within the Kemper Variable Series, formerly the Investors Fund Series), Janus
Aspen Capital Appreciation Subaccount (investment option within the Janus Aspen
Series), PIMCO Low Duration Bond Subaccount, PIMCO Foreign Bond Subaccount
(investment options within the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust), Scudder VLIF
International Subaccount, Scudder VLIF Growth and Income Subaccount, Scudder
VLIF Bond Subaccount and Scudder VLIF Money Market 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, Janus Aspen Capital
Appreciation Subaccount, PIMCO Low Duration Bond Subaccount, PIMCO Foreign Bond
Subaccount, Scudder VLIF Bond Subaccount, and Scudder VLIF Money Market
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.

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.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are generally accounted for on the trade date (date
when KILICO accepts risks of providing insurance coverage to the insured).
Dividends and capital gains distributions are recorded as income on the
ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
generally reported on a first in, first out (FIFO) cost basis.
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 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

(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 KILICO's state premium tax expense and a certain Federal income tax
liability incurred as a result of the receipt of premium.
Policy loans are also provided for under the terms of the Policy. The
minimum amount of the loan under the Power V and Farmers Variable Universal Life
I policies is $500 and is limited to 90% of the surrender value, less applicable
surrender charges. The minimum amount of the loan under the Kemper Destinations
Life policies is $1,000 and is limited to 90% of the surrender value, less
applicable surrender charges. Interest is assessed against a policy loan under
the terms of the Policy. Policy loans are carried in KILICO's general account.

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

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
48

the liability or contract rate on the value of business acquired. The estimated
amortization and accretion of interest for the value of business acquired for
each of the years through December 31, 2004 are as follows:

</TABLE>
The projected ending balance of the value of business acquired will be
further adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains or losses on fixed
maturities held as available for sale in the investment portfolio. Such
adjustments are not recorded in the Company's net income but rather are recorded
as a credit or charge to 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
49

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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
estate-related loans were as follows:

determining reserves and write-downs. The Company had an average balance of
$100.0 million and $54.6 million in impaired loans for 1999 and 1998,
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%).

(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.

The actual income tax expense for 1999, 1998 and 1997 differed from the
"expected" tax expense for those years as displayed below. "Expected" tax
expense was computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 35

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 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
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
The following table contains amounts related to the BOLI funds withheld
reinsurance agreement (in millions):

</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
58
<PAGE> 151
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(8) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)
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
59
<PAGE> 152
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)
real estate-related reserves and write-downs. The fair values of loan
commitments and standby financing agreements are estimated in conjunction with
and using the same methodology as the fair value estimates of mortgage loans and
other real estate-related investments.
(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates are made at specific points in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument. A significant portion of the Company's financial instruments are
carried at fair value. 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.

(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. 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.

APPENDIX A
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUES,
CASH SURRENDER VALUES AND
DEATH BENEFITS
The tables in this Prospectus have been prepared to help show how values
under a Policy change with investment experience. The tables illustrate how Cash
Values, Surrender Values (reflecting the deduction of Surrender Charges, if any)
and Death Benefits under a Policy issued on an Insured of a given age would vary
over time if the hypothetical gross investment rates of return were a uniform,
after tax, annual rate of 0%, 6%, and 12%. If the hypothetical gross investment
rate of return averages 0%, 6%, or 12%, but fluctuates over or under those
averages throughout the years, the Cash Values, Surrender Values and Death
Benefits may be different.
The amounts shown for the Cash Value, Surrender Value and Death Benefit as
of each Policy Anniversary reflect the fact that the net investment return on
the assets held in the Subaccounts is lower than the gross return. This is
because of a daily charge to the Subaccounts for assuming mortality and expense
risks, which is equivalent to an effective annual charge of 0.90%. This charge
is guaranteed not to exceed an effective annual rate of 0.90%. In addition, the
net investment returns also reflect the deduction of the Fund investment
advisory fees and other Fund expenses, (.83%, the average of the fees and
expenses). The tables also reflect applicable charges and deductions including a
3.5% deduction against premiums, a monthly administrative charge of $5 and
monthly charges for providing insurance protection. For each hypothetical gross
investment rate of return, tables are provided reflecting current and guaranteed
cost of insurance charges. Hypothetical gross average investment rates of return
of 0%, 6% and 12% correspond to the following approximate net annual investment
rate of return of -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, on a current basis. On a guaranteed
basis, these rates of return would be -1.73%, 4.27% and 10.27%, respectively.
Cost of insurance rates vary by issue age, sex, rating class and Policy Year
and, therefore, are not reflected in the approximate net annual investment rate
of return above.
Values are shown for Policies which are issued to a male standard nonsmoker
and a male preferred nonsmoker. Values for Policies issued on a basis involving
a higher mortality risk would result in lower Cash Values, Surrender Values and
Death Benefits than those illustrated. Females generally have a more favorable
rate structure than males.
The tables also reflect the fact that no charges for federal, state or
other income taxes are currently made against the Separate Account. If such a
charge is made in the future, it will take a higher gross rate of return than
illustrated to produce the net after-tax returns shown in the tables.
Upon request, we will furnish an illustration based on the proposed
Insured's age, sex and premium payment requested.

PART II
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.
UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 484(B)(1)
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 1-A(3)(a) to this
Registration Statement, Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) and the
Separate Account will agree to indemnify Investors Brokerage Services, Inc.
(IBS) against any claims, liabilities and expenses which IBS may incur under the
Securities Act of 1933, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon
any alleged untrue statements of material fact contained in any registration
statement or prospectus of the Separate Account, or any omission to state a
material fact therein, the omission of which makes any statement contained
therein misleading. IBS will agree to indemnify KILICO and the Separate Account
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses which KILICO or
the Separate Account may incur, arising out of or based upon any act or deed of
IBS or of any registered representative of an NASD member investment dealer
which has an agreement with IBS and is acting in accordance with KILICO's
instructions.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
KILICO or the Separate Account (by virtue of the fact that they may also be
agents, employees or controlling persons of IBS) pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise KILICO and the Separate Account have been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
may be against public policy as expressed in the Act and may be, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by KILICO or the Separate Account of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of KILICO
or the Separate Account in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, KILICO and the Separate Account
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
REPRESENTATION REGARDING FEES AND CHARGES PURSUANT TO
SECTION 26 OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) represents that the fees
and charges deducted under the Policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in
relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the
risks assumed by KILICO.
REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T)
This filing is made pursuant to Rule 6e-3(T) under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

Exhibit 3(b)(i)
ACTUARIAL OPINION
This opinion is supplied with the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to
the Registration Statement on Form S-6, File No. 33-65399, by the KILICO
Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") and Kemper Investors Life
Insurance Company ("KILICO") covering an indefinite number of units of interest
in the Separate Account. Premiums received under KILICO's Variable Life Policies
may be allocated by KILICO to the Separate Account as described in the
Prospectus included in the Registration Statement.
I am familiar with the Policy provisions and the description in the Prospectus
and it is my opinion that the illustrations of death benefits, accumulated
values, cash values, and accumulated premiums included in Appendix A of the
Prospectus, based on the assumptions in the illustrations, are consistent with
the Policy provisions. The Policy rate structure has not been designed to make
the relationship between planned premiums and benefits, as shown in the
illustrations, appear more favorable in to prospective nonsmoker males ages 35
and 55 than to nonsmoker males at other ages. The nonsmoker risk class generally
has a more favorable rate structure than smoker risk classes. Female risk
classes generally have a more favorable rate structure than male risk classes.
The current and guaranteed monthly mortality rates used in the illustrations
have not been designed so as to make the relationship between current and
guaranteed rates more favorable for the ages and sexes illustrated than for a
nonsmoker male at other ages. The nonsmoker risk classes generally have lower
monthly mortality rates than the smoker risk classes. The female risk classes
generally have lower monthly mortality rates than the male risk classes.
I consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment
No. 7 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the heading
"Experts" in the Prospectus.
