Dear Pacific Select Policy Owner:

  We are pleased to share with you the 1996 Annual Report of the Pacific Select
Separate Account ("Separate Account") of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
("Pacific Mutual").

  The Separate Account supports your Pacific Select Flexible Premium Variable
Universal Life Insurance Policy  ("the Policy") from Pacific Mutual.  The
Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, called Variable Accounts.  A fixed
option is also available.

  The following indicates the Accumulated Values and Cash Surrender Values as of
December 31, 1996, assuming a hypothetical Policy was purchased (1) on the date
each Variable Account began operations, and (2) on January 2, 1996.  Also
assumed is that 100% of the premium payment was allocated to such Variable
Account.  The Policy is based on an insured male, nonsmoker, age 55, single
premium payment of $50,000 (also Guideline Single Premium), and a Level and
Initial Death Benefit of $134,671:

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company



We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the
Pacific Select Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market, High Yield Bond,
Managed Bond, Government Securities, Growth, Growth LT, Equity Income, Multi-
Strategy, Equity Index, and International Variable Accounts) as of December 31,
1996 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and
statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate
Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective variable
accounts constituting the Pacific Select Separate Account as of December 31,
1996 and the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The Pacific Select Separate Account (the "Separate Account") is
   registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of
   1940, as amended, and during 1996 was comprised of twelve subaccounts called
   Variable Accounts: the Money Market Variable Account, the High Yield Bond
   Variable Account, the Managed Bond Variable Account, the Government
   Securities Variable Account, the Growth Variable Account, the Aggressive
   Equity Variable Account, the Growth LT Variable Account, the Equity Income
   Variable Account, the Multi-Strategy Variable Account, the Equity Index
   Variable Account, the International Variable Account, and the Emerging
   Markets Variable Account. The assets in each Variable Account are invested in
   shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific Select Fund (the "Fund"),
   each of which pursues different investment objectives and policies. The
   financial statements of the Fund, including the portfolios of investments,
   are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with
   the separate Account's financial statements.

        The Separate Account has organized and registered with the Securities
   and Exchange Commission two new Variable Accounts, the Aggressive Equity
   Variable Account and the Emerging Markets Variable Account, under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940. There was no operational activity through
   December 31, 1996 in both Variable Accounts.

        The Separate Account was established by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
   Company ("Pacific Mutual") on November 20, 1986 and commenced operations on
   January 7, 1988. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities
   of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the
   other assets and liabilities of Pacific Mutual. The assets of the Separate
   Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other
   business conducted by Pacific Mutual, but the obligations of the Separate
   Account, including benefits related to variable life insurance, are
   obligations of Pacific Mutual.

        The Separate Account held by Pacific Mutual represents funds from
   individual flexible premium variable life policies. The assets of these
   accounts are carried at market value.

        The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires
   management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
   of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
   reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
   results could differ from those estimates.

 A. Valuation of Investments

        Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset
    values of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the
    Fund is discussed in the notes to their financial statements.

 B. Security Transactions

        Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
    on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost.

 C. Federal Income Taxes

        The operations of the Separate Account will be reported on the Federal
    income tax return of Pacific Mutual, which is taxed as a life insurance
    company under the provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Under current
    tax law, no Federal income taxes are expected to be paid by Pacific Mutual
    with respect to the operations of the Separate Account.

2. DIVIDENDS

        During 1996, the Fund has declared dividends for each portfolio except
    for the Emerging Markets Portfolio. The amounts accrued by the Separate
    Account for its share of the dividends were reinvested in additional full
    and fractional shares of each related portfolio.

3. CHARGES AND EXPENSES

        Pacific Mutual charges the Separate Account daily for mortality and
   expense risks assumed with respect to variable life insurance policies funded
   by the Separate Account at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net
   assets of each Variable Account. Under the policies, Pacific Mutual makes
   certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable Account for sales
   load, administrative expenses, state premium taxes, cost of insurance and
   charges for optional benefits. The operating expenses of the Separate Account
   are paid by Pacific Mutual.

4. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

   Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific
Mutual, is the principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded
by interests in the Separate Account and is compensated by Pacific Mutual.
