FIDELITY INVESTMENTS VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT I
OF
FIDELITY INVESTMENTS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
1. ORGANIZATION.
Fidelity Investments Variable Life Account I (the "Account"), a unit
investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
as amended, was established by Fidelity Investments Life Insurance
Company (FILI) on July 22, 1987 and exists in accordance with the
regulations of the State of Utah Insurance Department. The Account is
a funding vehicle for individual variable life insurance contracts.
FILI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Investments are made in the portfolios of the subaccounts and are
valued at the reported net asset values of such portfolios.
Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Income from dividends is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on the
sales of investments are computed on the basis of the identified cost
of the investment sold.
The operations of the Account are included in the federal income tax
return of FILI, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
The preparation of the statement of assets and liabilities and the
statements of operations and changes in net assets in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the related amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
3. EXPENSES.
FILI deducts a daily charge from the net assets of the Account
(equivalent to an effective annual rate of .85%) for administrative
expenses and for the assumption of mortality risk and expense risk. In
addition, the cost of providing insurance protection is deducted
monthly. 
Under the current provisions of the Code, FILI does not expect to
incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the
extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this,
no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income
taxes. FILI will review periodically the status of such decision based
on changes in the tax law. Such a charge may be made in future years
for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the
contracts.
4. AFFILIATED COMPANY TRANSACTIONS.
The contracts are distributed through Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity Insurance Agency, Inc. (FIA), both of which
are affiliated with FMR Corp. FBSI and FIA are the distributors and
FBSI is the principal underwriter of the contracts. Fidelity
Management & Research Company, an affiliate of FMR Corp., acts as
investment advisor to each portfolio. Fidelity Investments
Institutional Operations Co., an affiliate of FMR Corp., is the
transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the portfolios.
5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
The following table shows aggregate cost of shares purchased and
proceeds from sales of each subaccount for the year ended December 31,
1997:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities
of Fidelity Investments Variable Life Account I (comprised of VIP -
Money Market, VIP - High Income, VIP - Equity-Income, VIP - Growth,
VIP - Overseas, VIP II - Investment Grade Bond, and VIP II - Asset
Manager) of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company as of December
31, 1997, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets for  the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 the
aforementioned subaccounts comprising Fidelity Investments Variable
Life Account I of Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company as of
December 31, 1997, and the results of their operations and the changes
in their net assets for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
