Dear Pacific Select Policy Owner: 

  We are pleased to share with you the 1998 Annual Report of the Pacific Select
Separate Account ("Separate Account") of Pacific Life Insurance Company
("Pacific Life").

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

  The following indicates the Accumulated Values and Cash Surrender Values as of
December 31, 1998, assuming a hypothetical policy was purchased (1) on the date
each Variable Account began operations, and (2) on January 2, 1998, if later.
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 Life Insurance Company

     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Pacific Select Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market, High Yield Bond,
Managed Bond, Government Securities, Growth, Aggressive Equity, Growth LT,
Equity Income, Multi-Strategy, Equity, Equity Index, International and Emerging
Markets Variable Accounts) as of December 31, 1998 and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended (as to the Equity Variable Account, for the
period from commencement of operations through December 31, 1998) and statement
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as
to the Aggressive Equity Variable Account and the Emerging Markets Variable
Account, for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the period from
commencement of operations through December 31, 1997, and the Equity Variable
Account, for the period from commencement of operations through December 31,
1998). 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the respective Variable Accounts
constituting Pacific Select Separate Account as of December 31, 1998 and the
results of their operations for the year then ended (as to the Equity Variable
Account, for the period from commencement of operations through December 31,
1998) and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended (as to the Aggressive Equity Variable Account and the Emerging
Markets Variable Account, for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the
period from commencement of operations through December 31, 1997, and the Equity
Variable Account, for the period from commencement of operations through
December 31, 1998), in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        PACIFIC SELECT SEPARATE ACCOUNT
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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 1998 was comprised of fourteen 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 Variable Account, the Bond and Income Variable
Account, the Equity Index Variable Account, the International Variable Account,
and the Emerging Markets Variable Account. There was no operational activity in
the Bond and Income Variable Account through December 31, 1998. 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
schedules of investments, are provided separately and should be read in
conjunction with the Separate Account's financial statements.

    The Separate Account was established by Pacific Life Insurance Company
(formerly named Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company - see Note 1 to Financial
Statements of the Fund) 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 Life. The assets of the Separate Account will not be
charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by
Pacific Life, but the obligations of the Separate Account, including benefits
related to variable life insurance, are obligations of Pacific Life.

    The Separate Account held by Pacific Life represents funds from individual
flexible premium variable life insurance policies.  The assets of the Separate
Account 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 its 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 Life, 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 Life with respect to the
operations of the Separate Account.

2.  DIVIDENDS

    During 1998, the Fund declared dividends for each portfolio. The amounts
accrued by the Separate Account for its share of the dividends were reinvested
in additional full and fractional shares of the related portfolio.

3.  CHARGES AND EXPENSES

    Pacific Life 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 Life 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 Life.

4.  RELATED PARTY AGREEMENT

    Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific
Life, serves as principal underwriter of variable life insurance policies funded
by interests in the Separate Account, without remuneration from the Separate
Account.
