ISSUED BY
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
THROUGH ITS KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
HOME OFFICE: 1 KEMPER DRIVE, LONG GROVE, ILLINOIS 60049 (800) 321-9313
This Prospectus describes a variable life insurance policy of Kemper
Investors Life Insurance Company. The Policy provides life insurance and
accumulates variable Cash Value. Policy benefits depend upon the investment
experience of the KILICO Variable Separate Account. Generally, Policy premiums
are flexible.
The Policy is "life insurance" for federal tax purposes. If the Policy is a
modified endowment contract, different tax rules apply to distributions. See
"Federal Tax Matters", page 24 for a discussion of laws that affect the tax
treatment of the Policy.
A Policy owner has the following choices for allocating premium:
- the Fixed Account, which accrues interest at our guaranteed rate,
and
- the Subaccounts of the Separate Account, which invest in portfolios
of underlying mutual funds.
The following portfolios of underlying mutual funds are currently available
under the Policy:
- THE ALGER AMERICAN FUND
- Alger American Balanced
- Alger American Growth
- Alger American Income & Growth
- Alger American MidCap Growth
- THE DREYFUS SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GROWTH FUND, INC.

prospectuses. Not all portfolios described in the prospectuses may be available

The Policy owner chooses from two death benefit options. The Death Benefit
is at least the amount shown in the Policy Specifications, unless there are
loans. Cash Value is not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value does not cover all
Policy charges, the Policy will lapse. The Policy Specifications show the
guarantee premium and the guarantee period. The Policy will not lapse during the
guarantee period if the guarantee premium is paid.
The Policy owner may cancel the Policy and receive a refund during the
Free-Look Period.
If you already own a flexible premium variable life insurance policy, it
may not be advantageous to buy additional insurance or to replace your policy
with the Policy described in this Prospectus.

SUMMARY
This section summarizes this Prospectus. Please read the entire Prospectus.
You should refer to the heading "Definitions" for the meaning of certain terms.
If states require variations, they appear in supplements attached to this
Prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy. Unless otherwise indicated, this
Prospectus describes an in force Policy with no loans.
The Policy owner pays a premium for life insurance coverage on the Insured.
Generally, an owner may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments. The
Policy provides for a Surrender Value which is payable if the Policy is
terminated during an Insured's lifetime. The death benefit and Cash Value of the
Policy may increase or decrease to reflect investment experience. Cash Value is
not guaranteed. If the Surrender Value is insufficient to pay Policy charges,
the Policy will lapse unless an additional premium payment or loan repayment is
made. The Policy will remain in force during the guarantee period if the
premiums paid, minus withdrawals and Debt, are at least equal to the guarantee
premiums. (See "The Policy--Premiums and Allocation of Premiums and Separate
Account Value," page 12, "Charges and Deductions," page 18, and "Policy Benefits
and Rights," page 14.)
A Policy may be issued as or become a modified endowment contract as a
result of a material change or reduction in benefits as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code. The Policy may also become a modified endowment contract if excess
premiums are paid. For a Policy treated as a modified endowment contract,
certain distributions will be included in the Policy owner's gross federal
income (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 24.)
The purpose of the Policy is to provide insurance protection for the
beneficiary. The Policy is not comparable to a systematic investment plan of a
mutual fund.
POLICY BENEFITS
CASH VALUE. Cash Value reflects the amount and frequency of premium
payments, the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts, any values in
the Fixed Account and Loan Account, and Policy charges. The Policy owner bears
the entire investment risk on amounts allocated to the Separate Account. We do
not guarantee Separate Account Value. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Cash
Value," page 16.)
The Policy owner may surrender a Policy at any time and receive the Net
Surrender Value. The Net Surrender Value is the Surrender Value minus any
outstanding Debt. The Surrender Value is the Cash Value minus any applicable
surrender charge. Partial withdrawals are available subject to restrictions.
(See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Surrender Privilege," page 18.)
POLICY LOANS. After the first Policy Year, the Policy owner may borrow up
to 90% of Cash Value minus surrender charges and any other indebtedness.
Interest is charged at an effective annual rate of 4.50%. (See "Federal Tax
Matters," page 24.)
PREFERRED LOANS. After the first Policy Year, the Policy owner may borrow
an amount up to the earnings in the Policy subject to any previous indebtedness.
Interest on preferred loans is charged at an effective annual rate of 3%.
The minimum amount of any loan is $500. When a loan is made, a portion of
Cash Value equal to the loan amount is transferred from the Separate Account and
the Fixed Account (pro rata, unless the Policy owner requests otherwise) to the
Loan Account. We credit 3% annual interest to Cash Value held in the Loan
Account. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Policy Loans," page 17.)
If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is treated as a
taxable distribution. (See "Federal Tax Matters," page 24.)
DEATH BENEFITS. An in force Policy pays a death benefit payment upon the
death of the Insured. The Policy has two death benefit options. The Policy owner
elects a death benefit option on the application. 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
14.)
2
<PAGE> 8
PREMIUMS
The amount and frequency of premium payments are flexible. The Policy owner
specifies a Planned Premium on the application. However, the owner is not
required to make the Planned Premiums, and, subject to certain restrictions, may
make premium payments in any amount and at any frequency. The amount, frequency,
and period of time over which an owner pays premiums affects whether the Policy
will be classified as a modified endowment contract. The minimum monthly premium
payment is $50. Other minimums apply for other payment modes.
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover all Policy charges
for the Policy to remain in force. A Policy will remain in force during the
guarantee period if premiums paid, less withdrawals and Debt, equal or exceed
the sum of the guarantee premiums. (See "The Policy -- Premiums," page 12.)
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The portion of the premium available for allocation
equals the premium paid less applicable charges. A Policy owner indicates in the
application the percentages of premium to be allocated among the Subaccounts of
the Separate Account and the Fixed Account. The Policy currently offers
thirty-one Subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a designated
portfolio of one of the Funds.
The initial premium, minus applicable charges, is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount on the day after receipt. On the Trade Date, the
Separate Account Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated among
the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with the Policy owner's
instructions in the application. (See "The Policy -- Policy Issue," page 11.)
TRANSFERS. The Policy owner may transfer Separate Account Value among the
Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account once every fifteen days. One annual
transfer is permitted from the Fixed Account to the Subaccounts. (See "The
Policy -- Allocation of Premiums and Separate Account Value," page 12.)

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
24.)

The Policy owner may examine a Policy and return it for a refund during the
Free-Look Period. The length of the Free-Look Period depends on the state where
the Policy is issued; however, it will be at least 10 days from the date the
owner receives the Policy. (See "Policy Benefits and Rights--Free-Look Period
and Exchange Rights," page 18.)
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH VALUE, SURRENDER VALUE, DEATH BENEFIT
Tables in Exhibit 9 to the registration statement illustrate Cash Value,
Surrender Value 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 the actual Policy
values will be higher or lower than those illustrated.
Upon request, we will provide a free, personalized illustration reflecting
the proposed Insured's age, underwriting classification, and sex (where
applicable). Otherwise, a personalized illustration uses the same methodology as
those appearing in Exhibit 9 to the registration statement.
KILICO AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("KILICO"), 1 Kemper Drive, Long
Grove, Illinois 60049, was organized in 1947 and is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Illinois. KILICO is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation, a nonoperating holding company.
KILICO and Kemper Corporation are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Zurich Insurance
Company ("Zurich"). Zurich is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial
Services ("ZFS"). ZFS was formed in the September, 1998 merger of the Zurich
Group with the financial services business of B.A.T. Industries. ZFS is owned by
Zurich Allied A.G. and Allied Zurich p.l.c. fifty-seven percent and forty-three
percent, respectively. KILICO offers life insurance and annuity products and is
admitted to do business in the District of Columbia and all states except New
York.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT
KILICO Variable Separate Account (the "Separate Account") was established
as a separate investment account on January 22, 1987. The Separate Account
receives and invests net premiums under the Policy. In addition, the Separate
Account receives and invests 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.

<PAGE> 13
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 thirty-one 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 Alger American Fund, The
Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., Dreyfus Stock Index Fund,
Dreyfus Variable Investment Fund, Templeton Variable Products Series Fund,
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, Janus Aspen Series, Scudder Variable
Life Investment Fund and Kemper Variable Series (formerly Investors Fund
Series). 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.
A Fund may consist of separate portfolios. 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.
THE ALGER AMERICAN FUND
The Alger American Fund portfolios in which the Separate Account invests
are summarized below:
ALGER AMERICAN BALANCED: This Portfolio seeks current income and long-term

In October of 1999, The Templeton Variable Product Series Fund (TVP) and
Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (VIP) Boards of Trustees
approved a proposal to eliminate the duplication of funds of the TVP Trust and
the VIP Trust, by merging the funds of the TVP Trust into the corresponding
funds of the VIP Trust (Reorganization). The corresponding funds of the two
trusts generally have the same investment goals and very similar investment
policies and strategies. Both Boards believe that the Reorganization would
benefit insurance company shareholders and their contract owners. If approved by
TVP shareholders, the Reorganization is expected to be completed around May 1,
2000, and the reorganized VIP Trust will include the following subaccounts:
Templeton Asset Allocation, Templeton Bond renamed Templeton Global Income
Securities, Templeton Developing Markets, and Templeton International.
Based on pro forma expenses for each of the combined funds, the total
operating expenses are expected to decrease, except with respect to the TVP
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund, where total operating expenses are expected to
slightly increase (0.01%). In addition, with respect to the TVP Templeton Bond
Fund class 2, while 12b-1 fees are expected to increase from 0.15% to 0.25%,
based on pro forma expenses for a combined fund, the total operating expenses
are expected to decrease slightly.

CHANGE OF INVESTMENTS
We reserve the right to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions
for the shares held by the Separate Account or that the Separate Account may
purchase. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the portfolios
and to substitute shares of another portfolio or of another investment company,
if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in
our judgment further investment in any portfolio becomes inappropriate in view
of the purposes of the Policy or the Separate Account. We may also eliminate or
combine one or more Subaccounts, transfer assets, or substitute one Subaccount
for another Subaccount, if, in our discretion, marketing, tax or investment
conditions warrant. We will not substitute any shares attributable to a Policy
owner's interest in a Subaccount without notice to the owner and the
Commission's prior approval, if required. Nothing contained in this Prospectus
shall prevent the Separate Account from purchasing other securities for other
series or classes of policies, or from permitting a conversion between series or
classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Policy owners.
We also reserve the right to establish additional Subaccounts of the
Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of the Funds, or
in shares of another investment company. New Subaccounts may be established
when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant.
New Subaccounts may be made available to existing owners as we determine.
If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting
interests under the Policy, the Separate Account may be:
- 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.
A minimum balance of $500 must remain in the Fixed Account under the Fixed
Account Option. 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 80 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.
11
<PAGE> 17
After underwriting is complete and the Policy is delivered to its owner,
insurance coverage begins as of the Policy Date. (See "Premiums," below.)
PREMIUMS
We must receive premiums at our home office. (See "Distribution of
Policies.") Checks must be made payable to KILICO.
PLANNED PREMIUMS. A Policy owner specifies a Planned Premium payment on the
application that provides for the payment of level premiums over a specified
period of time. However, the owner is not required to pay Planned Premiums.
The minimum monthly premium is $50. Other minimums are: annual $600;
semi-annual $300; quarterly $150. The amount, frequency and period of time over
which a Policy owner pays premiums may affect whether the Policy will be
classified as a modified endowment contract. Accordingly, variations from
Planned Premiums may cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract,
and therefore subject to different tax treatment from conventional life
insurance contracts for certain pre-death distributions (See "Federal Tax
Matters".)
Payment of the Planned Premium does not guarantee that a Policy remains in
force. Instead, the continuation of the Policy depends upon the Policy's Net
Surrender Value. Even if Planned Premiums are paid, the Policy will lapse any
time the Net 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 tenth 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 subject to conditions set forth in the application, including the payment
of initial premium. If this date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month, the
Policy Date will be the first day of the following month.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNT VALUE
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS. The initial net premium is allocated to the Kemper
Money Market Subaccount. The Separate Account Value remains in the Kemper Money
Market Subaccount until the Trade Date. On the Trade Date, the Separate Account
Value in the Kemper Money Market Subaccount is allocated to the Subaccounts and
the Fixed Account as specified in the application. Additional premiums received
will be allocated as specified in the application or in later written
instructions received from the Policy owner. The minimum amount of any premium
that may be allocated to a Subaccount is $50. Cash Value may be allocated to a
total of nineteen Subaccounts at any given time.
The Separate Account Value will vary with the investment experience of the
chosen Subaccounts. The Policy owner bears the entire investment risk.
TRANSFERS. After the Trade Date, Separate Account Value may be transferred
among the Subaccounts and into the Fixed Account. These transfers are limited to
one transfer every fifteen days. All transfers made during a business day are
treated as one transfer.
Fixed Account value may be transferred to one or more Subaccounts. One
transfer of Fixed Account value may be made once each Policy Year in the thirty
day period following the end of a Policy Year.
12
<PAGE> 18
Transfer requests must be in writing in a form acceptable to us, or by
telephone authorization under forms we authorize. (See "General
Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.") The minimum partial transfer amount
is $500. No partial transfer may be made if the value of the Policy owner's
remaining interest in a Subaccount or the Fixed Account, from which amounts are
to be transferred, would be less than $500 after the transfer. We may waive
these minimums for reallocations under established third party asset allocation
programs. Transfers are based on the Accumulation Unit values next determined
following our receipt of valid, complete transfer instructions. We may suspend,
modify or terminate the transfer provision. We will charge $25 for each transfer
in excess of twelve transfers per policy year, excluding Automatic Asset
Reallocation and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers. We disclaim all liability if
we follow in good faith instructions given in accordance with our procedures,
including requests for personal identifying information, that are designed to
limit unauthorized use of the privilege. Therefore, a Policy owner bears the
risk of loss in the event of a fraudulent telephone transfer.
If a Policy owner authorizes a third party to transact transfers on the
Policy owner's behalf, we will reallocate the Cash Value pursuant to the
authorized asset allocation program. However, we do not offer or participate in
any asset allocation program and we take no responsibility for any third party
asset allocation program. We may suspend or cancel acceptance of a third party's
instructions at any time and may restrict the investment options available for
transfer under third party authorizations.
AUTOMATIC ASSET REALLOCATION. A Policy owner may elect to have transfers
made automatically among the Subaccounts on an annual or a quarterly basis so
that Cash Value is reallocated to match the percentage allocations in the Policy
owner's predefined premium allocation elections. Transfers under this program
are not subject to the $500 minimum transfer limitations, limited by the fifteen
day transfer restriction nor subject to the $25 transfer charge. An election to
participate in the automatic asset reallocation program must be in writing on
our form and returned to our home office. There is currently no charge to
participate in the program.
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. The Policy will lapse when the Net 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 Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the monthly deductions. If
we do not receive a premium payment or loan repayment during the grace period
sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months, the Policy will lapse
and terminate without value.
If payment is received within the grace period, the premium or loan
repayment will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account in
accordance with current allocation instructions. Amounts over and above the
amounts necessary to prevent lapse may be paid as additional premiums, to the
extent permissible. (See "The Policy--Premiums.")
We will not accept any payment causing the total premium payment to exceed
the maximum payment permitted for life insurance under the guideline premium
limits. However, the Policy owner may voluntarily repay a portion of Debt to
avoid lapse. The owner may also combine premium payments with Debt repayments.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
The death benefit payable during the grace period will be the Death Benefit
in effect immediately prior to the grace period, less any Debt and any unpaid
monthly deductions.
REINSTATEMENT. If a Policy lapses because of insufficient Net Surrender
Value to cover the monthly deductions, and it has not been surrendered for its
Net 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.
A Policy owner selects in the application one of two death benefit options:
Option A or Option B. Subject to certain restrictions, the owner can change the
death benefit option selected. So long as the Policy remains in force, the death
benefit under either option will never be less than the Specified Amount.
The Policy owner chooses the Specified Amount on the application. The
Specified Amount is stated in the Policy Specifications. The minimum Specified
Amount is $100,000.
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 A 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 the death benefit percentage ($75,000 X 250%
= $187,500) is greater than the Specified Amount plus Cash Value ($100,000 +
$75,000 = $175,000), so the death benefit equals the higher value.
All calculations of death benefit are made as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the Insured dies. Death benefit proceeds may be paid to a
Beneficiary in a lump sum or under the Policy's settlements options.
Death Benefits ordinarily are paid within seven days after we receive all
required documentation. Payments may be postponed in certain circumstances. (See
"General Provisions--Postponement of Payments")
CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION
After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may change the death benefit
option from Option A to Option B, or from Option B to Option A. Changes in the
death benefit option may be made, in writing once per Policy Year. The effective
date of the change is the next Monthly Processing Date after we accept the
change.
14
<PAGE> 20
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 the Cash Value will then be
added to the new Specified Amount, and the death benefit then varies with the
Cash Value. We may require evidence of insurability before we accept a change in
the death benefit from Option A to Option B.
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 the Cash Value.
(See "Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Charge.") If the death benefit
does not equal the Cash Value times a death benefit percentage under either
Options A or B, changing from Option B to Option A will generally decrease the
future net amount at risk. This would decrease the future cost of insurance
charges. Changing from Option A to Option B generally results in a net amount at
risk that remains level. Such a change, however, results in an increase in the
cost of insurance charges over time, since the cost of insurance rates increase
with the Insured's Age.
CHANGES IN SPECIFIED AMOUNT
After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may increase or decrease the
Specified Amount, subject to our approval. A change in Specified Amount may only
be made once per Policy Year. The minimum change in Specified Amount is $25,000.
Increases are not allowed after the Insured attains age 80. Increasing the
Specified Amount could increase the death benefit. Decreasing the Specified
Amount could decrease the death benefit. The amount of change in the death
benefit will depend, among other things, upon the selected death benefit option
and the degree to which the death benefit exceeds the Specified Amount prior to
the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of
death benefit and Policy values. An increase in Specified Amount may increase
the net amount at risk, thereby increasing a Policy owner's cost of insurance
charge and the guarantee premium amount. However, an increase in Specified
Amount does not extend the guarantee period. Conversely, a decrease in Specified
Amount may decrease the net amount at risk, thereby decreasing an owner's cost
of insurance charge. A decrease in Specified Amount will not decrease the
guarantee premium. Decreases in the death benefit may have tax consequences.
(See "Federal Tax Matters.")
INCREASES. We require additional evidence of insurability for an increase
in Specified Amount.
DECREASES. Any decrease in Specified Amount is first applied to the most
recent increases successively, then to the original Specified Amount. A decrease
is not permitted if the Specified Amount would fall below the lesser of the
initial Specified Amount or $100,000. 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 Net Surrender Value.
Requests for change in Specified Amount must be made in writing. The
requested change becomes effective on the Monthly Processing Date on or next
following our acceptance of the request. If the Policy owner is not the Insured,
we require the Insured's consent.
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
If the Insured is alive on the Policy Date anniversary nearest the
Insured's 100th birthday, we pay the Policy owner the Surrender Value of the
Policy. On the Maturity Date, the Policy terminates and we have no further
obligations under the Policy except as provided in the Extended Maturity Option
Rider.

CASH VALUE
Cash Value reflects
- the investment experience of the selected Subaccounts
- the frequency and amount of premiums paid
- transfers between Subaccounts
- withdrawals
- any Fixed Account or Loan Account values
- Policy charges
A Policy owner may make partial withdrawals of Cash Value or surrender the
Policy and receive the Policy's Net Surrender Value. (See "Surrender
Privilege.") The Cash Value is not guaranteed.
CALCULATION OF CASH VALUE. Cash Value is the total of
- Separate Account Value
- Fixed Account value
- Loan Account value
Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. It is first calculated on
the Policy Date. On that date, the Cash Value equals the initial 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) Any 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) Any amounts transferred from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(6) Any amounts withdrawn from the Subaccount during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(7) Any 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.
16
<PAGE> 22
INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE FACTOR. The investment experience of the Separate
Account is calculated by applying the Investment Experience Factor to the
Separate Account Value in each Subaccount during a Valuation Period. Each
Subaccount has its own Investment Experience Factor. The Investment Experience
Factor of a Subaccount for any Valuation Period is determined by dividing (1) by
(2) and subtracting (3) from the result, where:
(1) is the net result of:
a. The net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; plus
b. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions
made by the investments held in the Subaccount, if the "ex-dividend"
date occurs during the current Valuation Period; plus or minus
c. a charge or credit for any taxes reserved for the current Valuation
Period which we determine have resulted from the investment operations
of the Subaccount;
(2) is the net asset value per share of the investment held in the
Subaccount determined at the end of the preceding Valuation Period;
(3) is the factor representing the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.")
POLICY LOANS
After the first Policy Year, the Policy owner may borrow all or part of the
Policy's maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 90% of Surrender Value.
The amount of any new loan may not exceed the maximum loan amount less Debt on
the date a loan is granted. Loan interest is charged at an effective annual rate
of 4.5%.
PREFERRED LOANS. After the first Policy Year, the Policy owner may borrow
an amount up to the earnings in the Policy subject to any previous indebtedness.
Interest on a preferred loan is charged at an effective annual rate of 3%.
The minimum amount of any loan is $500. The loan ordinarily is paid within
seven days after we receive a written loan request, although payments may be
postponed under certain circumstances. (See "Postponement of Payments," and
"Federal Tax Matters.")
On the date a loan is made, the loan amount is transferred from the
Separate Account and Fixed Account to the Loan Account. Unless the Policy owner
directs otherwise, the loan amount is deducted from the Subaccounts and the
Fixed Account in proportion to the values that each bears to the total of
Separate Account Value and Fixed Account value at the end of the Valuation
Period during which the request is received.
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. A
Policy owner 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 the Policy owner's current
allocation instructions, at the end of the Valuation Period during which the
repayment is received. These transfers are not limited by the 15 day transfer
restriction.
EFFECTS OF POLICY LOAN. Policy loans decrease the Net Surrender Value and,
therefore, the amount available to pay Policy charges. If the Net Surrender
Value on the day preceding a Monthly Processing Date is less than the next
monthly deductions we will notify the Policy owner. (See "General
Provisions--Written Notices and Requests.") The Policy will lapse and terminate
without value, unless we receive a sufficient payment within 61 days of the date
notice is sent. (See "The Policy--Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.")
EFFECT ON INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. A Policy Loan affects Cash Value. The
collateral for the outstanding loan (the amount held in the Loan Account) does
not participate in the experience of the Subaccounts or earn current interest in
the Fixed Account. If the interest credited to the Loan Account is more than the
amount that would have been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed Account, the
Cash Value will, and the Death Benefit may, be
17
<PAGE> 23
higher as a result of the loan. Conversely, if the amount credited to the Loan
Account is less than would have been earned in the Subaccounts or the Fixed
Account, the Cash Value, as well as the Death Benefit, may be less.
TAX TREATMENT. If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, a loan is
treated as a distribution and is includible in income to the extent that Cash
Value exceeds premiums paid. Therefore, a loan may result in federal income tax
and a 10% tax penalty may also apply. (See "Federal Tax Matters.")
SURRENDER PRIVILEGE
If the Insured is alive, the Policy owner may surrender the Policy for its
Surrender Value. To surrender the Policy, the owner must return the Policy to
us, along with a written request. The Net Surrender Value equals Surrender
Value, minus any Debt. The Surrender Value equals the Cash Value minus any
applicable surrender charge. (See "Surrender Charge," page 19.)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, a Policy owner may
withdraw a portion of Surrender Value. The minimum amount of each withdrawal is
$500. The maximum withdrawal is limited to 10% of Net Surrender Value during the
surrender charge period. We will charge $25 for each partial withdrawal taken in
excess of one per Policy Year, except those withdrawals under the Systematic
Withdrawal Plan. This charge reimburses us for the administrative expense
related to the 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, the Policy owner may examine the Policy and
return it for a refund. The time period depends on where the Policy is issued;
however, it will be at least 10 days from the date the Policy is received by the
owner, or, 45 days after the owner completes the application for insurance,
whichever is later. The amount of the refund is the sum of Cash Value in the
Kemper Money Market Subaccount plus the total amount of monthly deductions and
deductions from Premium. This amount will be at least equal to premiums paid. An
owner seeking a refund should return the Policy to us or to the agent who sold
the Policy.
At any time during the first two years after the Issue Date, the Policy
owner may exchange the Policy for a non-variable permanent fixed benefit life
insurance policy then currently offered by KILICO or an affiliate. Evidence of
insurability is not required. The amount of the new policy may be, at the
election of the owner, either the initial Death Benefit or the same net amount
at risk as the Policy on the exchange date. All Debt must be repaid and the
Policy must be surrendered before the exchange is made. The new policy will have
the same Policy Date and issue age as the exchanged Policy.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
DEDUCTIONS FROM PREMIUMS
We deduct a sales load of 2.5% from each premium before the net premium is
allocated. Additionally, 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 Internal Revenue Code.
We expect to recover total premium tax expenses over the life of the
Policies from aggregate tax charges and the unamortized state premium tax charge
portion of the surrender charge. However, the amount of premium taxes differ
from state to state and some states have no premium tax. Accordingly, the amount
of these charges paid under your Policy may be more or less than the premium
taxes we actually pay with respect to your Policy.
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 under the Subaccounts
and withdrawing amounts from the Fixed Account on the Policy Date and on each
Monthly Processing Date thereafter. If the Monthly Processing
18
<PAGE> 24
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 monthly cost of insurance rate (see below) by the "net amount at risk" for
each Policy month. The net amount at risk equals the Death Benefit minus the
Cash Value on the Monthly Processing Date.
COST OF INSURANCE RATE. The monthly cost of insurance rates are based on
the issue age, sex, rate class of the Insured and Policy Year. We determine the
monthly cost of insurance rates based on our expectations as to future mortality
experience. Any change in the schedule of rates applies to all individuals of
the same class as the Insured. The cost of insurance rate may never exceed those
shown in the table of guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates in the Policy.
The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates are based on the 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables, Age
Nearest Birthday, published by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners.
RATE CLASS. The rate class of an Insured will affect the cost of insurance
rate. We currently place Insureds in preferred rate classes and rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk. The cost of insurance rates for rate classes
involving a higher mortality risk are multiples of the preferred rates. (See
"Charges and Deductions--Cost of Insurance Rate," above.)
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a daily charge, at a current annual rate of .60% for the first
ten Policy Years, .40% for Policy Years eleven through twenty, and .20% for
Policy Years twenty-one and thereafter, from the Subaccounts for mortality and
expense risks we assume. We guarantee an annual rate of .60% for all Policy
Years.
The mortality and expense risk we assume is that our estimates of longevity
and of the expenses incurred over the life of the Policy will not be correct.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
We deduct a monthly administrative expense charge to reimburse us for
certain expenses related to maintenance of the Policies, accounting and record
keeping and periodic reporting to Policy owners. This charge is designed only to
reimburse us for actual administrative expenses. For the first Policy Year, this
charge is $10 per month. In Policy Years two and thereafter it is anticipated
that the charge will be $6 per month, however, should these expenses exceed
those currently assumed, the charge may be increased up to $7.50 per month.
OTHER CHARGES
SURRENDER CHARGE. We deduct a surrender charge from the Cash Value if the
Policy is surrendered or Cash Value is applied under a settlement option during
the first ten Policy Years. A surrender charge is also assessed during the first
ten Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount.
1. The amount of the surrender charge for the initial Specified Amount
will be the product of a. times b. times c. where:
a. is the initial Specified Amount (in 1,000s);
b. is the surrender target premium rate as shown in Appendix B; and
c. is the surrender charge percentage for the applicable Policy Year
as shown below.
During the ten 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 increase, years commencing on the date of
the increase and surrender target premium associated with the increase.
2. The amount of the surrender charge for each increase in the Specified
Amount will be the product of a. times b. times c. where;
a. is the amount of increase in Specified Amount for the base plan
(in 1,000s);
b. is the surrender target premium rate as shown in Appendix B; and
c. is the surrender charge percentage for the applicable Policy Year
as shown below.
The surrender charge is the sum of the amounts in 1. and 2. above. The
surrender charge will not be reduced by any decrease in Specified Amount.
19
<PAGE> 25
The applicable surrender target premium rate depends on the Insured's age
at issue, sex, tobacco status, and underwriting rate class. See Appendix B.

</TABLE>
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE. We will charge $25 for each partial withdrawal
in a Policy Year after the first withdrawal. This charge reimburses us for the
administrative expenses related to the withdrawal. However, the partial
withdrawal charge does not apply to those under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.
TRANSFER CHARGE. We will charge up to $25 for each transfer in excess of
twelve transfers per Policy Year, excluding Automatic Asset Reallocation and
Dollar Cost Averaging transfers. 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, including 12b-1 distribution fees. Investment
advisory fees and expenses differ with respect to each of the portfolios of the
Funds. (See "The Funds.")
For additional information about the fees and expenses of the Funds, see
"The Funds", page 8, and the Fund prospectuses accompanying this Prospectus, and
Statements of Additional Information available from us upon request.
The Fund(s) may pay 12b-1 service fees to us or our affiliates for support
or distribution services relating to Fund shares. We may receive compensation
from the investment advisers for administrative 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. An initial 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 credit additional
amounts in special circumstances that result in lower sales, administrative, or
mortality expenses. For example, special circumstances may exist in connection
with group or sponsored arrangements, sales to our existing policyowners, sales
to employees or clients of members of the ZFS group of companies, or employees
and registered representatives (and their families) of broker-dealers (or their
affiliated financial institutions) that have entered into selling group
agreements with Investors Brokerage Services, Inc., the distributor of the
Policies. The amounts of any reductions will reflect the reduced sales effort
and administrative costs resulting from, or the different mortality experience
expected as a result of, the special circumstances. Reductions will not unfairly
discriminate against any person, including the affected Policy owners and owners
of all other policies funded by the Separate Account.
20
<PAGE> 26
GENERAL PROVISIONS
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
The Policy owner, or Beneficiary at the death of the Insured if no election
by the owner is in effect, may elect to have the Death Benefit or Surrender
Value paid in a lump sum or have the amount applied to one of the Settlement
Options. Payments under these options will not be affected by the investment
experience of the Separate Account after proceeds are applied under a Settlement
Option. The payee elects monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The
option selected must result in a payment that at least equals our required
minimum in effect when the option is chosen. If at any time the payments are
less than the minimum, we may increase the period between payments to quarterly,
semi-annual or annual or make the payment in one lump sum.
Benefit payments are based on Net 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--FIXED INSTALLMENT ANNUITY. 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 ANNUITY. 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 ANNUITY 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.
PAYMENT NOT HONORED BY BANK. The portion of any payment due under the
Policy which is derived from any amount paid to us by check or draft may be
postponed until such time as we determine that such instrument has been honored
by the bank upon which it was drawn.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, any endorsements, and the application constitute the entire
contract between us and the Policy owner. All statements made by the Insured or
contained in the application will, in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation,
be deemed representations and not warranties.
21
<PAGE> 27
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, the rights of the Policy owner and Beneficiary are subject to the
rights of the assignee of record.
NONPARTICIPATING
The Policy does not pay dividends. It does not participate in any of
KILICO's surplus or earnings.
OWNER AND BENEFICIARY
The Policy owner may designate a new owner while the Insured is alive.
The Policy owner designates primary and secondary Beneficiaries in the
application. 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 Policy owner or a designated Beneficiary, the owner
must sign our form. The change is effective when the owner signs the form, but
we are not liable for payments made or actions taken before we receive the
signed form.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
We keep the Separate Account records. We send Policy owners, at their last
known address of record, an annual report showing:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- Death Benefit - partial withdrawals
- Accumulation Unit Value - transfers
- Cash Value - Policy loans and repayments
- Surrender Value - Policy charges
- additional premium payments
</TABLE>
Confirmations and acknowledgments of various transactions are also sent to
Policy owners. We also send annual and semi-annual Fund reports.
WRITTEN NOTICES AND REQUESTS
Send written notices or requests to our home office: 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
a Policy owner's address shown in the application unless an address change is
filed with us.
22
<PAGE> 28
OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
The following optional insurance benefits are available by rider at the
time of application:
- waiver of premium 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
- other insured rider
- extended maturity rider
The cost of these benefits is added to the monthly deduction. These
benefits and restrictions are described in the Rider. We provide samples of
these provisions upon written request.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
Under our Dollar Cost Averaging program, Cash Value in the Fixed Account,
the Kemper Money Market Subaccount or the Kemper Government Securities
Subaccount ("DCA Subaccount") is automatically transferred monthly to other
Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. A Policy owner may enroll any time by
completing our Dollar Cost Averaging form. Transfers are made on the tenth day
of the month, or the next business day if the tenth falls on a weekend. We must
receive the enrollment form at least five business days before the transfer
date.
Transfers commence on the first transfer date following the Trade Date. The
minimum transfer amount is $100 per Subaccount or Fixed Account. In order to
enroll, Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount must be at least $10,000. Dollar Cost
Averaging automatically ends if Cash Value in the DCA Subaccount is less than
the amount designated to be transferred. Cash Value remaining in the DCA
Subaccount will be transferred.
Dollar Cost Averaging ends if:
- the number of designated monthly transfers has been completed
- Cash Value attributable to the DCA Subaccount is insufficient to
complete the next transfer
- we receive the Policy owner's written termination at least five
business days before the next transfer date
- the Policy is surrendered.
There is currently no charge to participate in the Dollar Cost Averaging
program. We will give 30 days notice if we amend the Dollar Cost Averaging
program. We may terminate the program at any time.
A Policy owner may change Dollar Cost Averaging instructions by completing
our enrollment form. We must receive the enrollment form at least 5 business
days (10 business days for Fixed Account transfers), before the next transfer
date.
To participate in Dollar Cost Averaging, a Policy owner may have Cash Value
in the Fixed Account and no more than eight non-DCA Subaccounts.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
We offer a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") allowing Policy owners to
preauthorize periodic withdrawals after the first Policy Year. Policy owners
instruct us to withdraw selected amounts from the Fixed Account, or up to 2
Subaccounts, on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The Policy
owner's periodic payment must be at least $500. These periodic payments are
partial withdrawals and are subject to surrender charges. (See "Policy Benefits
and Rights--Surrender Privileges".) The $25 withdrawal charge does not apply.
However, we charge $50 to establish an SWP and a $25 charge each time a change
is made. These charges reimburse us for SWP administrative expenses. Periodic
payments may be subject to income taxes, withholding and tax penalties. (See
"Federal Tax Matters.") An SWP application and additional information may be
obtained from the Policy owner's representative or us. We will give 30 days
notice if we amend the SWP. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Policy
owner or us.
DISTRIBUTION OF POLICIES
Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS") serves as distributor of the
Policies. IBS is located at 1 Kemper Drive, Long Grove, Illinois 60049. IBS is
our wholly-owned subsidiary. It is registered as a broker-dealer under the
23
<PAGE> 29
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
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 NASD.
The maximum sales commission payable to registered representatives is
approximately 70% 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 five. 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.
The distribution agreement with IBS provides for indemnification of IBS by
KILICO and the Separate Account for liability arising out of allegedly untrue
statements in, or omissions of material fact from, the prospectus or the
Registration Statement. IBS agrees to indemnify KILICO and the Separate Account
against claims arising from the conduct of IBS or unaffiliated broker-dealers
that sell Policies.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
This discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Policy is not
exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax
advice. The federal income tax treatment of the Policy is unclear in certain
circumstances, and a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted with
regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This discussion is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), Treasury
Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this
Prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the
Treasury Department, and judicial decisions.
This discussion does not address state or local tax consequences associated
with owning the Policy. IN ADDITION, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE REGARDING ANY TAX
TREATMENT -- FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL -- OF ANY POLICY OR OF ANY TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A POLICY.
OUR TAX STATUS
We are taxed as a life insurance company and the operations of the Separate
Account are treated as part of our total operations. The operations of the
Separate Account do not materially affect our federal income tax liability
because we are allowed a deduction to the extent that net investment income of
the Separate Account is applied to increase Cash Value. We may incur state and
local taxes attributable to the Separate Account. At present, these taxes are
not significant. Accordingly, we do not charge or credit the Separate Account
for federal, state or local taxes. However, our federal income taxes are
increased because of the federal tax law's treatment of deferred acquisition
costs. Accordingly, we charge 1% of each premium payment to compensate us for
our higher corporate income tax liability.
If there is a material change in law, charges or credits may be made to the
Separate Account for taxes or reserves for taxes. These charges or credits are
determined independently of the taxes we actually pay.
TAXATION OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY. The Code establishes a definition of life
insurance which, in part, places limitations on the amount of premiums that may
be paid and the Cash Value that can accumulate relative to the Death Benefit. We
believe the Policy meets this definition. We reserve the right to refund
premiums, increase the Death Benefit (which may result in higher Policy
charges), or take any other action we deem necessary to ensure the Policy's
compliance with the tax definition of life insurance. The Death Benefit is
generally excludable from the Beneficiary's gross income. Interest and other
income credited are not taxable unless certain withdrawals are made (or are
deemed to be made) from the Policy prior to the Insured's death, as discussed
below. This tax treatment will only apply, however, if (1) the investments of
the Separate Account are "adequately diversified", and (2) we, rather than the
Policy owner, are considered the owner of the assets of the Separate Account.
24
<PAGE> 30
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. The Code prescribes the manner in which the
Separate Account must be "adequately diversified." If the Separate Account fails
to comply with these diversification standards, the Policy will not be treated
as a life insurance contract, and the Policy owner is taxable on the income on
the contract (as defined in the tax law). We expect that the Separate Account,
through the Funds, will comply with the prescribed diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. In certain circumstances, variable life insurance
contract owners may be considered the owners of the assets of the Separate
Account. Income and gains from the Separate Account would then be includible in
the Policy owners' gross income. The IRS has stated that a variable contract
owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a separate account if the
owner possesses the ability to exercise investment control. As of the date of
this Prospectus, no investor control guidance is available.
We reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to
prevent Policy owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the
Separate Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would be
successful.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will be treated as a life
insurance contract for tax purposes.
TAX TREATMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS. In general, the
Death Benefit is excludable from gross income under the Code. Certain transfers
of the Policy, however, may result in a portion of the Death Benefit being
taxable. If the Death Benefit is paid under a Settlement Option, generally
payments will be prorated between the non-taxable Death Benefit and taxable
interest.
TAX DEFERRAL DURING ACCUMULATION PERIOD. Any increase in Cash Value is
generally not taxable to the Policy owner unless amounts are received (or are
deemed to be received) from the Policy before the Insured's death. If the Policy
is surrendered, the excess of Cash Value over the "investment in the contract"
is includible in the owner's ordinary income. The "investment in the contract"
generally is premium payments minus non-taxable distributions. Distributions may
be taxable to the owner if the Policy is considered a "modified endowment
contract" ("MEC").
POLICIES WHICH ARE NOT MECS
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS GENERALLY. If the Policy is not a MEC, the
amount of any withdrawal generally will be treated first as a non-taxable
recovery of premiums and then as taxable income. Thus, a withdrawal from a
non-MEC Policy generally is not taxable income unless the total withdrawals
exceed the investment in the contract.
DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED IN THE FIRST 15 POLICY YEARS. The Code limits the
amount of premium that may be paid and Cash Value that can accumulate relative
to the Death Benefit. Where cash distributions are required in connection with a
reduction in benefits during the first 15 years after the Policy is issued (or
if withdrawals are made in anticipation of a reduction in benefits during this
period), some or all of such amounts may be taxable. A reduction in benefits may
result from a decrease in Specified Amount, a change from an Option B Death
Benefit to an Option A Death Benefit, if withdrawals are made, and in certain
other instances.
TAX TREATMENT OF LOANS. If a Policy is not a MEC, a loan generally is
treated as indebtedness of the Policy owner. As a result, the loan is not
taxable income to the owner if the Policy remains in force. However, when the
interest rate credited to the Loan Account is the same as the interest rate
charged for the loan, some or all of the loan proceeds may be includible in
income. If a Policy lapses when a loan is outstanding, the amount of the loan
outstanding will be treated as a surrender in determining whether any amounts
are includible in the Policy owner's income.
Interest on an individual's Policy loans and interest on any loans of a
Policy owner that is a business entity are subject to possible disallowance
under complex rules. Consult a tax adviser on these issues.
POLICIES WHICH ARE MECS
CHARACTERIZATION OF A POLICY AS A MEC. A Policy is a MEC if (1) the Policy
is received in exchange for a life insurance contract that was a MEC, or (2) the
Policy is issued after June 21, 1988 and premiums are paid more rapidly than
permitted under the "7-Pay Test." A Policy fails this test (and thus is a MEC)
if the accumulated amount paid during the 1st 7 Policy Years exceeds the
cumulative sum of the net level premiums which would have been paid to that time
if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of 7 level
annual premiums. Under the Code, a material change of the Policy generally
results in a reapplication of the 7-Pay Test. In addition, any reduction in
benefits during the 7-Pay period will affect the application of this test.
25
<PAGE> 31
We monitor the Policies and attempt to notify Policy owners on a timely
basis if a Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a MEC. The owner may then request
that we take available steps to avoid treating the Policy as a MEC.
TAX TREATMENT OF WITHDRAWALS, LOANS, ASSIGNMENTS AND PLEDGES UNDER MECS. If
the Policy is a MEC, withdrawals are treated first as withdrawals of income and
then as a recovery of premiums. Thus, withdrawals are includible in income if
Cash Value exceeds the investment in the contract. A Policy loan is treated as a
withdrawal for tax purposes.
If the Policy owner assigns or pledges Cash Value under a MEC (or agrees to
assign or pledge any portion), such portion is a withdrawal for tax purposes.
The investment in the contract is increased by the amount includible in income
with respect to any assignment, pledge, or loan, though it is not affected by
any other aspect of the assignment, pledge, or loan (including its release or
repayment). Before assigning, pledging, or requesting a loan under a MEC, a
Policy owner should consult a qualified tax adviser.
PENALTY TAX. Generally, proceeds of a surrender or a withdrawal (or the
amount of any deemed withdrawal) from a MEC are subject to a penalty tax of 10%
of the portion of the proceeds that is includible in income, unless the
surrender or withdrawal is made (1) after the owner attains age 59 1/2, (2)
because the owner has become disabled (as defined in the Code), or (3) as
substantially equal periodic payments over the life or life expectancy of the
owner (or the joint lives or life expectancies of the owner and his or her
beneficiary).
AGGREGATION OF POLICIES. All life insurance contracts which are treated as
MECs and which are purchased by the same person from us or our affiliates within
the same calendar year are aggregated and treated as one contract in determining
the tax on withdrawals (including deemed withdrawals). The effects of
aggregation are not clear; however, it could affect the taxable amount of a
withdrawal (or a deemed withdrawal) and could subject the withdrawal to the 10%
penalty tax.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. Changing the Policy owner, exchanging the Policy,
changing from one Death Benefit option to another, and other Policy changes may
have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of the change. Federal
estate and state and local estate taxes, or inheritance taxes and other tax
consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the
circumstances of each Policy owner or Beneficiary.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
We withhold and send to the federal government a part of the taxable
portion of withdrawals unless the Policy owner notifies us in writing at the
time of withdrawal that he or she elects no withholding. The Policy owner is
always responsible for the payment of any taxes and early distribution penalties
that may be due on the amounts received. The Policy owner may also be required
to pay penalties under the estimated tax rules, if the owner's withholding and
estimated tax payments are insufficient to satisfy the owner's total tax
liability.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
On July 6, 1983, the Supreme Court held in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V.
NORRIS that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and
fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex.
The Policy contains cost of insurance rates that distinguish between men and
women. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in
consultation with legal counsel, the impact of federal, state and local laws,
including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, and NORRIS and
subsequent cases on any employment-related insurance or fringe benefit program
before purchasing the Policy.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
We hold the assets of the Separate Account. We keep these assets segregated
and apart from our general funds. We maintain records of all purchases and
redemptions of the shares of each portfolio of the Funds by each of the
Subaccounts.
26
<PAGE> 32
VOTING INTERESTS
We vote a Fund's shares held in the Separate Account at regular and special
shareholder meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions received from
persons having voting interests in the corresponding Subaccounts of the Separate
Account. Owners of all Policies participating in each Subaccount are entitled to
give us instructions with respect to that Subaccount. An owner's proportionate
interest in that Subaccount is measured by units. We determine the number of
shares for which a Policy owner may give voting instructions as of the record
date for the meeting. Owners will receive proxy material, reports, and other
materials relating to the appropriate portfolio of the Funds.
We vote all Fund shares held in the Separate Account proportionately based
on Policy owners' instructions. If changes in law permit, we may vote a Fund's
shares in our own right.
We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard
voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as
to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of the Fund
or of one or more of its portfolios or to approve or disapprove an investment
advisory contract for a portfolio of the Fund. In addition, we may disregard
voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by a Policy owner in the
investment policy or the investment adviser of a portfolio of a Fund if we
reasonably disapprove of such changes. A proposed change would be disapproved
only if the change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory
authorities, or if we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on
our General Account in that the proposed investment policy for a portfolio may
result in overly speculative or unsound investments. In the event we disregard
voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons
for it in the next annual report to Policy owners.
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.

LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and our right to issue the Policy under Illinois
Insurance Law, have been passed upon by Frank J. Julian, our Associate General
Counsel. Jorden Burt Boros Cicchetti Berenson & Johnson LLP, Washington, D.C.,
has advised us on certain legal matters concerning federal securities laws
applicable to the issue and sale of Policies.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party or
to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. We are not a party in
any litigation that is of material importance in relation to our total assets or
that relates to the Separate Account.
YEAR 2000 MATTERS
(YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE)
Many existing computer programs were originally designed without
considering the impact of the year 2000 and currently use only two digits to
identify the year in the date field. This issue affects nearly all companies and
organizations and could cause computer applications and systems to fail or
create erroneous results for any transaction with a date of January 1, 2000, or
later.
Many companies must undertake major projects to address the year 2000
issue. Each company's costs and uncertainties will depend on a number of
factors, including its software and hardware, and the nature of the industry.
Companies must also coordinate with other entities with which they
electronically interact, including suppliers, customers, creditors and other
financial services institutions.
If a company does not successfully address its year 2000 issues, it could
face material adverse consequences in the form of lawsuits against the company,
lost business, erroneous results and substantial operating problems after
January 1, 2000.
30
<PAGE> 36
We have taken substantial steps over the last several years to ensure that
our critical systems will be compliant for the year 2000. Such steps have
included the replacement of older systems with new systems which are already
compliant. We have also determined that new systems developed to support new
product introductions in 1997, 1998 and beyond are already year 2000 compliant.
Data processing expenses related solely to bringing our systems in compliance
with the year 2000 amounted to $550 thousand for the first nine months of 1999.
We anticipate that it will cost an additional $108 thousand to bring all
remaining systems into compliance.
Our policy administration systems have been completely renovated to be year
2000 compliant, and have been tested and have been placed back into production
as of June 30, 1999. All of our ancillary systems confirmed to be year 2000
compliant were in production at September 30, 1999. Testing procedures have
confirmed the performance, functionality, and integration of converted or
replaced platforms, applications, databases, utilities, and interfaces in an
operational environment. Our testing and verification for year 2000 compliance
has encompassed the following:
- mainframe computing systems;
- mainframe hardware and systems software;
- PC/LAN computing systems;
- PC/LAN hardware and systems software;
- end-user computing systems;
- interfaces to and from third parties; and
- other miscellaneous electronic non-information systems.
We have also taken steps to determine whether all other entities with which
we electronically interact, including suppliers and other financial services
institutions, are year 2000 compliant.
If we do not successfully address our year 2000 issues, we could face
material adverse consequences from lawsuits, lost business, erroneous results
and substantial operating problems after January 1, 2000. Although we fully
expect to be year 2000 compliant by the close of 1999, we have developed
contingency plans to handle the most reasonably likely worst case scenarios. The
contingency plans were completed in the third quarter of 1999 and testing of
those plans will continue throughout the fourth quarter of 1999.
EXPERTS
The consolidated balance sheets of KILICO as of December 31, 1998 and 1997
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 have been included herein and in the registration statement in reliance
upon the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants,
appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing. The consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows of KILICO and
subsidiaries for the period from January 4, 1996 to December 31, 1996 have been
included herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of
KPMG LLP, independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere herein,
and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The statements of assets and liabilities and policy owners' equity of the
KILICO Variable Separate Account as of December 31, 1998 and the related
statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes
in policy owners' equity for the year then ended and for each of the periods
presented has been included herein in reliance upon the report of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, appearing elsewhere
herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
Actuarial matters included in this prospectus have been examined by
Christopher J. Nickele, FSA as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
A Registration Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to
the Policies. For further information concerning the Separate Account, KILICO
and the Policy, reference is made to the Registration Statement as amended with
exhibits. Copies of the Registration Statement are available from the Commission
upon payment of a fee or at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

<PAGE> 37
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The included financial statements of the Subaccounts of the Separate
Account do not reflect any assets attributable to the Policy, because we did not
sell the Policy during the period covered by those financial statements.
Instead, those financial statements solely reflect assets and operations
attributable to sales of other variable life insurance contracts issued by the
Separate Account. The financial statements do not cover certain Subaccounts of
the Separate Account, because those Subaccounts were not created until after the
end of the periods covered. The included financial statements should be
considered only as bearing upon our ability to meet our contractual obligations
under the Policy. The investment experience of the Separate Account does not
affect our financial statements.
CHANGE OF ACCOUNTANTS
On September 12, 1997, KILICO appointed the accounting firm of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers"), formerly Coopers &
Lybrand, LLP, as independent public accountants for the year ended December 31,
1997 to replace KPMG LLP effective with such appointment. Our Board of Directors
approved the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the new independent
accountants. Management had not consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any
accounting, auditing or reporting matter, prior to that time.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, there were no disagreements
with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure or any reportable events.
KPMG LLP's report on the financial statements for 1996 contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on accounting or
financial disclosures for the years ended December 31, 1998 or 1997.

KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company Variable Separate Account (the
"Separate Account") is a unit investment trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, established by Kemper Investors Life Insurance
Company ("KILICO"). KILICO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial
Services ("ZFS"). ZFS was formed with the September 7, 1998 merger of the Zurich
Group with the financial services business of B.A.T. Industries. ZFS is owned by
Zurich Allied AG and Allied Zurich p.l.c., fifty-seven percent and forty-three
percent, respectively. Zurich Allied AG, representing the financial interest of
the former Zurich Group, is listed on the Swiss Market Index (SMI) replacing
Zurich. Allied Zurich p.l.c., representing the financial interest of the
financial services business of B.A.T. Industries, is included in the FTSE-100
Share Index in London.
The Separate Account is used to fund policies ("Policy") for Select
variable universal life policies and Power V flexible premium variable universal
life policies. The Separate Account is divided into twenty-three subaccounts.
The Select policies have five subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners
and each subaccount invests exclusively in the shares of a corresponding
portfolio of the Investors Fund Series, 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 Investors Fund Series, the American Skandia
Trust, the Fidelity VIP Funds and the Scudder Variable Life Investment Funds,
all of which are open-end diversified management investment companies.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
well as the disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial
statements. As a result, actual results reported as income and expenses could
differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION
The investments are stated at current value which is based on the closing
bid price, net asset value, at December 31, 1999.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date when KILICO
accepts risks of providing insurance coverage to the insured). Dividends and
capital gains distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on a first in,
first out (FIFO) cost basis.
ACCOUNT UNIT TRANSACTIONS
Proceeds from a Policy are automatically allocated to the Money Market
subaccount on the trade date for a 15 day period. At the end of this period, the
Separate Account value (cash value) may be allocated to other subaccounts as
designated by the owner of the Policy.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUATION
On each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for
trading, the accumulation unit value is determined as of the earlier of 3:00
p.m. (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.
38
<PAGE> 44
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 the Policy because sales had not commenced.
Investments, at cost, at December 31, 1999, are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
A description of the underlying investments are summarized below.
INVESTORS FUND SERIES
MONEY MARKET SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks maximum current income to
the extent consistent with stability of principal from a portfolio of high
quality money market instruments. The Portfolio seeks to maintain a net asset
value of $1.00 per share but there can be no assurance that the Portfolio will
be able to do so.
TOTAL RETURN SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks a high total return, a
combination of income and capital appreciation, consistent with reasonable risk.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks high current
return consistent with preservation of capital.
SMALL CAP GROWTH SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks maximum appreciation of
investors' capital.
FIDELITY VIP FUNDS
EQUITY-INCOME SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks reasonable income.
HIGH INCOME SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks a high level of current
income while also considering growth of capital.
SCUDDER VARIABLE LIFE INVESTMENT FUNDS
INTERNATIONAL SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks long-term growth of
capital principally from a diversified portfolio of foreign equity securities.
GROWTH & INCOME SUBACCOUNT: This subaccount seeks long-term growth of
capital, current income and growth of income from a portfolio consisting
primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.
(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 $111,539 and $1,454,886 for the Select and Power V variable
universal life products, respectively, for the
39

(UNAUDITED)
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)
year ended December 31, 1998. Additionally, KILICO assesses a daily charge to
the subaccounts for mortality and expense risk assumed by KILICO at an annual
rate of .90% of assets.
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 policy prior to allocation of the net premium. This
charge is to reimburse KILICO for the payment of state premium taxes. KILICO
expects to pay an average state premium tax rate of approximately 2.5% but the
actual premium tax attributable to a Policy may be more or less. 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
before investment of a policy owner's funds into the Separate Account.
Policy loans are also provided for under the terms of the Policy. The
minimum amount of the loan is $500 and is limited to 90% of the Policy's
investment value, less applicable surrender charges. Interest is assessed
against 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 Investors Fund Series portfolios and the Scudder Variable Life
Investment Funds.
American Skandia Investment Services, Incorporated is the investment
manager for the American Skandia Trust and Fidelity Investments is the
investment manager for the Fidelity VIP Funds. Neither of these entities are
affiliated with KILICO.
Investors Brokerage Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KILICO, is
the principal underwriter for the Separate Account.
(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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors of
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of KILICO Variable Separate Account:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities and
contract owners' equity and the related statement of operations and changes in
owner's equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the subaccounts of KILICO Variable Separate Account, which includes the Money
Market Subaccount, Total Return Subaccount, Government Securities Subaccount,
Small Cap Growth Subaccount (investment options within the Investors Fund
Series), Equity Income Subaccount, High Income Subaccount (investment options
within the Fidelity VIP Funds), International Subaccount, Growth & Income
Subaccount (investment options within the Scudder Variable Life Investment
Fund), thereof, at December 31, 1998, and the changes in their equity for the
year then ended and for each of the periods presented, except for the Equity
Income Subaccount, High Income Subaccount, International Subaccount, Growth &
Income Subaccount as to which the period is June 15, 1998 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of
Kemper Investors Life Insurance 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 generally
accepted auditing standards 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,
1998 by correspondence with transfer agents, provides a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

KILICO VARIABLE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company Variable Separate Account (the
"Separate Account") is a unit investment trust registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, established by Kemper Investors Life Insurance
Company ("KILICO"). KILICO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zurich Financial
Services ("ZFS"). ZFS was formed with the September 7, 1998 merger of the Zurich
Group with the financial services business of B.A.T. Industries. ZFS is owned by
Zurich Allied AG and Allied Zurich p.l.c., fifty-seven percent and forty-three
percent, respectively. Zurich Allied AG, representing the financial interest of
the former Zurich Group, is listed on the Swiss Market Index (SMI) replacing
Zurich. Allied Zurich p.l.c., representing the financial interest of the
financial services business of B.A.T. Industries, is included in the FTSE-100
Share Index in London.
The Separate Account is used to fund policies ("Policy") for Select
variable universal life policies and Power V flexible premium variable universal
life policies. The Separate Account is divided into twenty-three subaccounts.
The Select policies have five subaccounts which are available to Policy Owners
and each subaccount invests exclusively in the shares of a corresponding
portfolio of the Investors Fund Series, 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 Investors Fund Series, the American Skandia
Trust, the Fidelity VIP Funds and the Scudder Variable Life Investment Funds,
all of which are open-end diversified management investment companies.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
well as the disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial
statements. As a result, actual results reported as income and expenses could
differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION
The investments are stated at current value which is based on the closing
bid price, net asset value, at December 31, 1998.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date when KILICO
accepts risks of providing insurance coverage to the insured). Dividends and
capital gains distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on a first in,
first out (FIFO) cost basis.
ACCOUNT UNIT TRANSACTIONS
Proceeds from a Policy are automatically allocated to the Money Market
subaccount on the trade date for a 15 day period. At the end of this period, the
Separate Account value (cash value) may be allocated to other subaccounts as
designated by the owner of the Policy.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUATION
On each day the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for
trading, the accumulation unit value is determined as of the earlier of 3:00
p.m. (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.
50
<PAGE> 56
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, 1998 do not include any amounts attributable
to the Policy because sales had not commenced.
Investments, at cost, at December 31, 1998, are as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(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 $111,539 and $1,454,886 for the Select and Power V variable
universal life products, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Additionally, KILICO assesses a daily charge to the subaccounts for mortality
and expense risk assumed by KILICO at an annual rate of .90% of assets.
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 policy prior to allocation of the net premium. This
charge is to reimburse KILICO for the payment of state premium taxes. KILICO
expects to pay an average state premium tax rate of approximately 2.5% but the
actual premium tax attributable to a Policy may be more or less. 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
before investment of a policy owner's funds into the Separate Account.
Policy loans are also provided for under the terms of the Policy. The
minimum amount of the loan is $500 and is limited to 90% of the Policy's
investment value, less applicable surrender charges. Interest is assessed
against 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 Investors Fund Series portfolios and the Scudder Variable Life
Investment Funds.
Fidelity Investments is the investment manager for the Fidelity VIP Funds.
Fidelity Investments is not affiliated with KILICO.
Investors Brokerage Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of KILICO, is
the principal underwriter for the Separate Account.
(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.

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"). Effective January 4, 1996, Zurich Insurance Company
("Zurich"), Insurance Partners, L.P. ("IP") and Insurance Partners Offshore
(Bermuda), L.P. (together with IP, "Insurance Partners") owned 80 percent and 20
percent, respectively, of Kemper and therefore the Company. On February 27,
1998, Zurich acquired Insurance Partner's remaining 20 percent interest for
cash. As a result of this transaction, Kemper and the Company became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Zurich.
Effective September 7, 1998, the businesses of Zurich merged with the
financial services business of B.A.T. Industries forming 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,
representing the financial interest of the former Zurich Group, is listed on the
Swiss Market Index, replacing Zurich. Allied Zurich p.l.c., representing the
financial interest of B.A.T. Industries, 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 1997 and 1996
consolidated financial statements in order for them to conform to the 1998
presentation.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The acquisition of the Company on January 4, 1996, was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company prior to January 4, 1996, were prepared on a historical cost basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as
well as the disclosure of contingent assets or liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. As a result, actual results reported as revenue and
expenses could differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial
statements. As further discussed in the accompanying notes to the consolidated
financial statements, significant estimates and assumptions affect deferred
insurance acquisition costs, the value of business acquired, provisions for real
estate-related losses and reserves, other-than-temporary declines in values for
fixed maturities, the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and the
calculation of fair value disclosures for certain financial instruments.
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,
1998, the Company believes that no such adjustment is necessary.
The Company began to amortize goodwill during 1996 on a straight-line basis
over twenty-five years. In December of 1997, the Company changed its
amortization period to twenty years in order to conform to Zurich's accounting
practices and policies. As a result of the change in amortization periods, the
Company recorded an increase in goodwill amortization expense of $5.1 million
during 1997.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED
The value of business acquired reflects the estimated fair value of the
Company's life insurance business in force and represents the portion of the
cost to acquire the Company that is allocated to the value of the right to
receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of
acquisition. Such value is the present value of the actuarially determined
projected cash flows for the acquired policies.
The value of the business acquired is amortized over the estimated contract
life of the business acquired in relation to the present value of estimated
gross profits using current assumptions based on an interest rate equal to the
liability or contract rate on the value of business acquired. The estimated
amortization and accretion of interest for the value of business acquired for
each of the years through December 31, 2003 are as follows:

2003................................................ 65,291 (15,504) 3,948 53,735
</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. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, this adjustment decreased the value of
business acquired by $7.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and
accumulated other comprehensive income by approximately $4.7 million and $3.4
million, respectively.
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.
DEFERRED INSURANCE ACQUISITION COSTS
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commission expense and
certain policy issuance and underwriting expenses, have been deferred to the
extent they are recoverable from estimated future gross profits on the related
contracts and policies. The deferred insurance acquisition costs for annuities,
separate account business and interest-sensitive life insurance products are
being amortized over the estimated contract life in relation to the present
value of estimated gross profits. Deferred insurance acquisition costs related
to such interest-sensitive products also reflect the estimated impact of
unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturities held as available for sale in the
investment portfolio, through a credit or charge to accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of income tax. The deferred insurance acquisition
costs for term-life insurance products are being amortized over the premium
paying period of the policies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Liabilities for future policy benefits related to annuities and
interest-sensitive life contracts reflect net premiums received plus interest
credited during the contract accumulation period and the present value of future
payments for contracts that have annuitized. Current interest rates credited
during the contract accumulation period range from 3.0 percent to 7.5 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 6.8
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
1998 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: (1) notes
receivable from real estate ventures; (2) investments in real estate ventures,
adjusted for the equity in the operating income or loss of such ventures, and
(3) real estate owned at December 31, 1997, carried at fair value. 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. Such unrealized gains are recorded net
of deferred income tax expense, while unrealized losses are not tax benefitted.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT BUSINESS
The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts represent segregated
funds administered and invested by the Company for purposes of funding variable
annuity and variable life insurance contracts for the exclusive benefit of
variable annuity and variable life insurance contract holders. The Company
receives administrative fees from the

separate account and retains varying amounts of withdrawal charges to cover
expenses in the event of early withdrawals by contract holders. The assets and
liabilities of the separate accounts are carried at fair value.
INCOME TAX
For the period January 1 through January 4, 1996, the Company's federal
income tax return was consolidated with Kemper and Kemper's other wholly-owned
life insurance subsidiary, Federal Kemper Life Assurance Company ("FKLA"). The
Boards of Directors of Kemper, KILICO and FKLA, adopted a written plan that
provided that federal income taxes would be paid to or recovered from Kemper on
the basis of each company's taxable income or loss as shown on its respective
federal income tax return. In the event of a federal income tax credit which is
greater than the amount recoverable from the other life insurance company or
from the Internal Revenue Service, the funds available would be apportioned
among the life companies entitled to a recovery on the basis of the relationship
of each company's tax credit to the total of all of the life insurance companies
in a deficit position. For the period January 5 through December 31, 1996, and
subsequent years, the Company has filed 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 $126.0 million, $29.0 million and $28.1
million directly to the United States Treasury Department during 1998, 1997 and
1996 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 $882.6 million, $633.9 million and $892.0 million during 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Gross gains of $10.1 million, $3.1 million and $9.9 million
and gross losses of $8.0 million, $13.7 million and $16.2 million were realized
on sales and write-downs of fixed maturities in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had 12 separate asset-backed securities
included in fixed maturity investments from trusts formed to collateralize
assets underwritten by Green Tree Financial Corporation, which in aggregate
amounted to $97.7 million. No other individual investments exceeded ten percent
of stockholder's equity at December 31, 1998.
At December 31, 1998, securities carried at approximately $6.4 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 $164.4 million real estate portfolio at December 31, 1998
consists of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real
estate-related investments. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, total impaired real
estate-related loans were as follows:

Impaired loans without reserves include loans in which the deficit in
equity investments in real estate-related investments is considered in
determining reserves and write-downs. The Company had an average balance of
$54.6 million and $45.2 million in impaired loans for 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Cash payments received on impaired loans are generally applied to
reduce the outstanding loan balance.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, loans on nonaccrual status, before reserves
and write-downs, amounted to $37.4 million and $47.4 million, respectively. The
Company's nonaccrual loans are generally included in impaired loans.

(4) UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTEES
At December 31, 1998 and 1997 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, 1998 and 1997, the Company's net equity investment in
unconsolidated investees amounted to $1.2 million and $19.3 million,
respectively. The Company's share of net income related to such unconsolidated
investees amounted to $241 thousand, $835 thousand and $223 thousand in 1998,
1997 and 1996, 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 28.0 percent of the Company's investment-grade fixed
maturities at December 31, 1998 were mortgage-backed securities, down from 35.1
percent at December 31, 1997, due to sales and paydowns during 1998. 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 15.4 percent and 10.8 percent of the Company's
investment-grade fixed maturities at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
consisted of corporate asset-backed securities. The majority of the Company's
investments in asset-backed securities were backed by home equity loans (21.9%),
auto loans (8.2%), manufactured housing loans (14.8%), equipment loans (5.2%),
and commercial mortgage backed securities (22.1%).
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, 1998 was as follows: California (31.5%), Hawaii
(16.2%), Washington (9.9%) and Colorado (9.4%). The property type distribution
of a majority of the real estate portfolio as of December 31, 1998 was as
follows: hotels (39.9%), land (30.9%) and residential (15.5%).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(5) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
Undeveloped land represented approximately 30.9 percent of the Company's
real estate portfolio at December 31, 1998. 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.
Approximately half of the Company's real estate mortgage loans are on
properties or projects where the Company, Kemper, or their affiliates have taken
ownership positions in joint ventures with a small number of partners.
At December 31, 1998, 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 $64.5 million, or
39.3 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. The Nesbitt ventures
consist of nine hotel properties and two office buildings. At December 31, 1998,
the Company did not have any Nesbitt-related off-balance-sheet legal funding
commitments outstanding.
At December 31, 1998, 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 $51.6
million, or 31.4 percent, of the Company's real estate portfolio. Kemper's
interest is 75 percent at December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998, MLP-related
commitments accounted for approximately $6.1 million of the Company's
off-balance-sheet legal commitments.
The remaining significant real estate-related investments amounted to $27.3
million at December 31, 1998 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
the Company completely disposes of all of its investments in Hawaii.
At December 31, 1998, 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, 1998.

</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 other investments to the amount
that, based upon available evidence, is, in management's judgment, more likely
than not, to be realized. Any reversals of the valuation allowance are
contingent upon the recognition of future capital gains in the Company's federal
income tax return or a change in circumstances which causes the recognition of
the benefits to become more likely than not. The change in the valuation
allowance is related solely to the change in the net deferred federal tax asset
or liability from unrealized gains or losses on investments.

tax on deferred insurance acquisition costs ("DAC Tax") associated with $1.5
billion and $2.7 billion of new and renewal sales in 1998 and 1997, 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,
$45.0 million and $18.4 million during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Company paid cash dividends of $95.0 million and $29.3 million to Kemper during
1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company did not pay any cash dividends to
Kemper during 1996.
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, 1998 and 1997, joint venture mortgage loans
totaled $65.8 million and $72.7 million, respectively, and during 1998, 1997 and
1996, the Company earned interest income on these joint venture loans of $6.8
million, $7.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively.
All of the Company's personnel are employees of Federal Kemper Life
Assurance Company ("FKLA"), an affiliated company. The Company is allocated
expenses for the utilization of FKLA employees and facilities, the investment
management services of Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. ("SKI") an affiliated
company, and the information systems of Kemper Service Company ("KSvC"), an SKI
subsidiary, based on the Company's share of administrative, legal, marketing,
investment management, information systems and operation and support services.
During 1998, 1997 and 1996, expenses allocated to the Company from SKI and KSvC
amounted to $43 thousand,

(7) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
$114 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company also paid to SKI
investment management fees of $3.1 million, $3.5 million and $3.6 million during
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, expenses allocated to the
Company from FKLA during 1998, 1997 and 1996 amounted to $35.5 million, $30.0
million and $10.5 million, respectively. The Company also paid to Kemper real
estate subsidiaries $1.5 million, $2.2 million and $1.8 million in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively, related to the management of the Company's real estate
portfolio.
(8) REINSURANCE
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into reinsurance
agreements to diversify risk and limit its overall financial exposure to certain
blocks of fixed-rate annuities and to individual death claims. The Company
generally cedes 100 percent of the related annuity liabilities under the terms
of the reinsurance agreements. Although these reinsurance agreements
contractually obligate the reinsurers to reimburse the Company, they do not
discharge the Company from its primary liabilities and obligations to
policyholders. As such, these amounts paid or deemed to have been paid are
recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as reinsurance recoverables
and ceded future policy benefits.
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the reinsurance recoverable related to
fixed-rate annuity liabilities ceded to an affiliate amounted to $344.8 million
and $382.6 million, respectively.
In December 1996, the Company assumed on a yearly renewable term basis
approximately $14.4 billion (face amount) of term life insurance from FKLA. As a
result of this transaction, the Company recorded premiums and reserves of
approximately $7.3 million. The difference between the cash transferred, which
represents the statutory reserves of the business assumed, and the reserves
recorded under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), of
approximately $18.4 million, was deemed to be a capital contribution from Kemper
and was recorded as additional paid-in-capital during 1996. As of the date of
this transaction, no deferred tax impact was recorded on the difference between
the statutory and GAAP reserves. This deferred tax impact of $6.5 million was
recorded in 1998 as a reduction to the original capital contribution. Premiums
assumed during 1998 under the terms of the treaty amounted to $21.6 million and
the face amount which remained outstanding at December 31, 1998 amounted to
$11.7 billion.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company ceded 90 percent of all new term
life insurance premiums to outside reinsurers. Term life reserves ceded to
outside reinsurers on the Company's direct business amounted to approximately
$293 thousand and $139 thousand as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
During December 1997, the Company entered into a funds withheld reinsurance
agreement with a Zurich affiliated company, ZC Life Reinsurance Limited ("ZC
Life"), formerly EPICENTRE Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited. Under the terms of
this agreement, the Company ceded, on a yearly renewable term basis, ninety
percent of the net amount at risk (death benefit payable to the insured less the
insured's separate account cash surrender value) related to the new BOLI product
developed in 1997, which is held in the Company's separate accounts. During
1997, the Company issued $59.3 billion (face amount) of new BOLI business and
ceded $51.1 billion (face amount) to ZC Life under the terms of the treaty.
During 1997, the Company also ceded $24.3 million of separate account fees (cost
of insurance charges) to ZC Life. The Company has also withheld approximately
$23.4 million of such funds due to ZC Life under the terms of the reinsurance
agreement as a component of benefits and funds payable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997.
During 1998, the Company modified the reinsurance agreement to increase the
reinsurance from ninety percent to one hundred percent. During 1998, the Company
issued $6.9 billion (face amount) of new BOLI business and ceded $11.1 billion
(face amount) to ZC Life under the terms of the modified treaty. During 1998,
the Company also ceded $175.5 million of separate account fees (cost of
insurance charges) to ZC Life. The Company has also withheld approximately
$170.9 million of such funds due to ZC Life under the terms of the reinsurance
agreement as a component of benefits and funds payable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998.
KILICO has a large and growing 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 is now marked-to-market
based upon the Total Return of the Governmental Bond Division of the KILICO
Variable Series I Separate Account.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(8) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED)
During 1998, the Company recorded a $2.5 million increase to the FWA related to
this mark-to-market. To properly match revenue and expenses, the Company has
placed assets supporting the FWA in a segmented portion of its General Account.
This portfolio is classified as "trading" under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 ("FAS 115"). FAS 115 mandates that assets held in a
trading account be valued at fair value, with changes in fair value flowing
through the income statement as realized capital gains and losses. During 1998,
the Company recorded a realized capital gain of $2.8 million upon transfer of
these assets from "available for sale" to the trading portfolio as required by
FAS 115. In addition, the Company recorded realized capital losses of $151
thousand related to the changes in fair value of this portfolio during 1998. The
fair value of this portfolio was $101.8 million at December 31, 1998, and the
amortized cost was $99.1 million. The Company periodically purchases assets into
this segmented portfolio to support changes in the FWA.
(9) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
FKLA sponsors a welfare plan that provides medical and life insurance
benefits to its retired and active employees and the Company is allocated a
portion of the costs of providing such benefits. The Company is self insured
with respect to medical benefits, and the plan is not funded except with respect
to certain disability-related medical claims. The medical plan provides for
medical insurance benefits at retirement, with eligibility based upon age and
the participant's number of years of participation attained at retirement. The
plan is contributory for pre-Medicare retirees, and will be contributory for all
retiree coverage for most current employees, with contributions generally
adjusted annually. Postretirement life insurance benefits are noncontributory
and are limited to $10,000 per participant.
The allocated accumulated postretirement benefit obligation accrued by the
Company amounted to $2.0 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
The discount rate used in determining the allocated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.0 percent and 7.25 percent for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
assumed health care trend rate used was based on projected experience for 1998,
8.0 percent for 1999, gradually declining to 6.4 percent by the year 2003 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, 1998 and 1997 by $312 thousand and $242 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, 1998, the Company had future legal loan commitments and
stand-by financing agreements totaling $64.4 million to support the financing
needs of various real estate investments. To the extent these
78
<PAGE> 84
KEMPER INVESTORS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--OFF BALANCE-SHEET (CONTINUED)
arrangements are called upon, amounts loaned would be collateralized by assets
of the joint ventures, including first mortgage liens on the real estate. The
Company's criteria in making these arrangements are the same as for its mortgage
loans and other real estate investments. These commitments are included in the
Company's analysis of real estate-related reserves and write-downs. The fair
values of loan commitments and standby financing agreements are estimated in
conjunction with and using the same methodology as the fair value estimates of
mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments.
(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates are made at specific points in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument. A 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 1998 and 1997 to be 4.75 percent and 5.25 percent,
respectively, while the assumed average market crediting rate was 5.0 percent
and 6.0 percent in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
how to report information about operating segments. It also establishes
standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas
and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS No. 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, SFAS No. 131 requires comparative information for earlier years to be
restated, unless impracticable to do so.

(15) OPERATING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
In connection with the acquisition by Zurich, the Company, FKLA, ZLICA, and
Fidelity Life Association ("FLA"), a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, owned by its
policyholders, began to 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 SBU's to consolidated revenues, operating
results and certain balance sheet data pertaining thereto, are shown in the
following tables on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles.
Zurich Kemper Life's SBU's were formed in 1996, subsequent to the acquisition by
Zurich, however, financial information was not produced by SBU until 1997.
Therefore, Zurich Kemper Life has not provided segment information for 1996, as
it would be impracticable to do so.
Zurich Kemper Life is segregated into the Agency, Financial, Group
Retirement and Direct SBU's. The SBU's are not managed at the legal entity
level, but rather at the Zurich Kemper Life level. Zurich Kemper Life's SBU's
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 Group Retirement SBU's.
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 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 SBU's are as
follows:
AGENCY: The Agency SBU develops low cost term and universal life insurance,
as well as fixed annuities, to market through independent agencies and national
marketing organizations.
FINANCIAL: The Financial SBU focuses on a wide range of products that
provide for the accumulation, distribution and transfer of wealth and primarily
includes variable and fixed annuities, variable universal life and bank-owned
life insurance. These products are distributed to consumers through financial
intermediaries such as banks, brokerage firms and independent financial
planners.
GROUP RETIREMENT: The Group Retirement 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.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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.
REPRESENTATION AS TO FEES AND CHARGES
KILICO hereby represents that the fees and charges deducted under the
Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policies hereby registered by this
Registration Statement 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.
UNDERTAKING AS TO INDEMNIFICATION
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit 1-A(3)(a) to this
Registration Statement, KILICO and the Separate Account have agreed to indemnify
Investors Brokerage Services, Inc. ("IBS") against any claims, liabilities and
expenses which IBS may incur under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), 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
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant 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, the Registrant 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
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
