                                              of protection. Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your

                                              well as over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate per $1,000 of the      
                                              discounted net amount at risk. As the net amount at risk increases, your cost        
                                              of insurance increases. Accumulated value also varies depending on the

                                                   First, we calculate the total net amount at risk for your policy in two steps: 
                                                                                                                                  
                                                   . Step 1: we divide the death benefit that would be payable at the beginning of

                                                   . Step 2: we subtract your policy's accumulated value at the beginning of the  
                                                     policy month from the amount we calculated in step 1.                        
                                                                                                                                  
                                                   Next, we allocate the net amount at risk in proportion to the face amount and  
                                                   each increase that's in force as of your monthly payment date.                 
                                                                                                                                  
                                                   We then multiply the amount of each allocated net amount at risk by the cost of
                                                   insurance rate for each coverage. The sum of these amounts is your cost of

                                          the required premium. Your policy will remain in force during the grace period.

                                          If we do not receive your payment within the grace period, your policy will     
                                          lapse with no value. This means we'll end your life insurance coverage.

is a premium payment. Otherwise,          
we'll treat it as a loan repayment.       If we receive your payment within the grace period, we'll allocate your net     
                                          premium to the investment options you've chosen and deduct the monthly charge

                                          If your policy is in danger of lapsing and you have an outstanding loan amount, 
                                          you may find that making the minimum payment would cause the total premiums     
                                          paid to exceed the maximum amount for your policy's face amount under tax laws. 
                                          In that situation, we will not accept the portion of your payment that would    
                                          exceed the maximum amount. To stop your policy from lapsing, you'll have to     
                                          repay a portion of your outstanding loan amount.

                                          death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary. We'll reduce the payment by any

                                         the day we approve the reinstatement. Once we reinstate your policy, its

                                         . If we reinstate your policy on the first monthly payment date that immediately   
                                           follows the lapse, we'll also reinstate the loan amount that was outstanding      
                                           the day your policy lapsed.                                                       
                                                                                                                           
                                         . If we reinstate your policy on any monthly payment date other than the monthly   
                                           payment date that immediately follows the lapse, we'll deduct the outstanding     
                                           loan amount from your policy's accumulated value. This means you will no longer   
                                           have an outstanding loan amount when your policy is reinstated.

                                                  We may show performance as a change in accumulated value over time or in terms  
                                                  of the average annual compounded rate of return on accumulated value. This      
                                                  would be based on allocating premium payments for a hypothetical policy to a

                                                  applies, by assuming the hypothetical policy is surrendered at the end of the   
                                                  particular period. At the same time, we may give other performance figures that

income and a 10% penalty tax.                 . After the policy has been assigned, your rights and the rights of your          
                                                beneficiary will be subject to the assignment. The entire policy, including any  
                                                income benefit, rider, benefit and endorsement, will also be subject to the

                                                acceptable to us before we'll consider it binding.

                                                to may exercise the rights under the policy, except the right to change the      
                                                policy owner or the beneficiary or the right to choose a monthly income

                                              The tax laws defining life insurance, however, do not cover all policy            
                                              features. Your policy may have features that could prevent it from qualifying     
                                              as life insurance. For example, the tax laws have yet to address many issues      
                                              concerning the treatment of substandard risk policies and policies with term

                                              policy if we believe the changes are needed to ensure that your policy            
                                              continues to qualify as a life insurance contract.                                
                                                                                                                                
                                              Tax regulations deal with allowable charges for mortality costs and other         
                                              expenses that are used in calculating whether a policy qualifies as life

                                              investor, rather than the insurance company, as the owner of the assets in a      
                                              separate account." The IRS treats a variable policy owner as the owner of

                                              and policy values, it is possible the IRS would treat you as the owner of your

                                              marketing needs or investment conditions. We'll decide on what basis we'll make      
                                              new accounts available to existing policy owners.                                    
                                                                                                                                   
                                              We can also eliminate any of our variable accounts if we believe marketing, tax      
                                              or investment conditions warrant it. We can terminate and liquidate any              
                                              variable account.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                   
                                              If we make any changes to variable accounts or substitution of securities, we        
                                              can make appropriate changes to this policy or any of our other policies, by         
                                              appropriate endorsement, to reflect the change or substitution.

                                              We may be charged for state and local taxes. Currently, we pay these taxes          
                                              because they are small amounts with respect to the policy. If these taxes

Voting rights                                 We're the legal owner of the shares of the Pacific Select Fund that are held by     
                                              the variable accounts. We may vote on any matter at shareholder meetings of the     
                                              fund. However, we are required by law to vote as you instruct on the shares         
                                              relating to your allocation in a variable investment option. This is called         
                                              your voting interest.                                                               
                                                                                                                                  
                                              Your voting interest is calculated as of a day set by the Board of Trustees of      
                                              the fund called the record date. Your voting interest equals the accumulated        
                                              value in a variable investment option divided by the net asset value of a share     
                                              of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares are included. If allowed by       
                                              law, we may change how we calculate your voting interest.                           
                                                                                                                                  
                                              We'll send you documents from the fund called proxy materials. They include         
                                              information about the items you'll be voting on and forms for you to give us        
                                              your instructions. We'll vote shares held in the separate account for which we      
                                              do not receive voting instructions in the same proportion as all other shares       
                                              in the portfolio held by that separate account for which we've received timely

                                              proportion as the total votes for all of our separate accounts, including this      
                                              separate account. We'll vote shares of any portfolio held by any of our non-

                                              portfolios held in the separate account.                                            
                                                                                                                                  
                                              When required by state insurance regulatory authorities, we may disregard

Preparing for the year 2000                   Pacific Life long ago recognized the challenges associated with the Year 2000        
                                              date change. This change involves the ability of computer systems to properly        
                                              recognize the Year 2000. The inability to do so could result in major failures       
                                              or miscalculations. We began prior to 1995 to assess and plan for the potential      
                                              impact of the Year 2000. More recently, Pacific Life has been executing a            
                                              company-wide plan adopted during 1998 which called for correction or                 
                                              replacement of remaining non-compliant systems by December 31, 1998.                 
                                                                                                                                   
                                              We have successfully executed this project plan to date. Virtually all affected      
                                              systems were remediated and tested in time for use during 1998 year-end              
                                              processing cycles. Although it is not possible to certify that any system will       
                                              be completely free of Year 2000 problems, we have performed extensive testing        
                                              to identify and deal with such potential problems. Additionally, most of the         
                                              company's critical systems were subject to an independent third-party review         
                                              process which used sophisticated automated tools to identify Year 2000 related       
                                              bugs. The results have been very positive and we feel the company's internal         
                                              systems are positioned well for the date change in the century.                      
                                                                                                                                   
                                              We plan to continue to test and re-test throughout 1999 and we will respond          
                                              promptly should any problems arise at any time thereafter.                           
                                                                                                                                   
                                              We are continuing to work on contingency plans for critical business processes.      
                                              When appropriate, alternative methods and procedures are being developed to          
                                              work around unanticipated problems.                                                  
                                                                                                                                   
                                              In addition to the above, we will continue to carefully evaluate responses from      
                                              vendors and significant business partners regarding the compliance of their          
                                              critical business processes and products. Although ultimately Pacific Life           
                                              cannot be responsible for the Year 2000 compliance efforts of these outside          
                                              entities, we will take appropriate steps wherever possible to develop                
                                              contingency plans to address vendors and partners deemed non-compliant.              
                                                                                                                                   
                                              Expenses to make our systems Year 2000 compliant are currently estimated to          
                                              range from $12 million to $15 million, which excludes the cost of our personnel      
                                              who support Year 2000 compliance efforts. We do not anticipate any other             
                                              material future costs associated with the Year 2000 compliance projects,             
                                              although there can be no assurance.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Pacific Life Insurance Company
 
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account (comprised of the Money Market, High Yield
Bond, Managed Bond, Government Securities, Growth, Aggressive Equity, Growth
LT, Equity Income, Multi-Strategy, Equity, Bond and Income, Equity Index,
International, Emerging Markets, Variable Account I, Variable Account II,
Variable Account III, and Variable Account IV Variable Accounts) as of December
31, 1998 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 (as to the Equity Variable Account and the Bond and Income Variable
Account, for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the period from
commencement of operations through December 31, 1997). 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 Exec Separate Account as of December 31, 1998 and
the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as to the
Equity Variable Account and the Bond and Income Variable Account, for the year
ended December 31, 1998 and for the period from commencement of operations
through December 31, 1997), in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The Pacific Select Exec 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 eighteen 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, the Emerging Markets Variable Account, and the Variable
Accounts I through IV. The assets in each of the first fourteen Variable
Accounts are invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of Pacific
Select Fund and the assets of the last four Variable Accounts are invested in
shares of the corresponding portfolios of M Fund, Inc. (collectively, the
"Funds"). Each Variable Account pursues different investment objectives and
policies. The financial statements of the Funds, including the schedules of
investments, are either included in Section B of this report or 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 B-58) on May 12, 1988 and commenced operations on
November 22, 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 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 Funds are valued at the reported net asset values
of the respective portfolios. Valuation of securities held by the Funds 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 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 Funds 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
 
 With respect to variable life insurance policies funded by the Separate
Account, Pacific Life makes certain deductions from premiums for sales load and
state premium taxes before amounts are allocated to the Separate Account.
Pacific Life also makes certain deductions from the net assets of each Variable
Account for the mortality and expense risks Pacific Life assumes,
administrative expenses, cost of insurance, charges for optional benefits and
any sales and underwriting surrender charges. 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.

5. SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S COST OF INVESTMENTS IN THE FUNDS SHARES
 
 The investment in the Funds shares are carried at identified cost, which
represents the amount available for investment (including reinvested
distributions of net investment income and realized gains). The cost and market
value of total Separate Account's investments in the Funds as of December 31,
1998 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
   Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries:
 
   We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
   condition of Pacific Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the
   "Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
   statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of
   the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
   all material respects, the financial position of Pacific Life Insurance
   Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
   of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
   period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   CONVERSION TO MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE
 
   Pursuant to consent received from the Insurance Department of the State of
   California, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Mutual")
   implemented a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure
   (the "Conversion") on September 1, 1997. The Conversion created Pacific
   LifeCorp, an intermediate stock holding company and Pacific Mutual Holding
   Company ("PMHC"), a mutual holding company. Pacific Mutual was converted to
   a stock life insurance company and renamed Pacific Life Insurance Company
   ("Pacific Life"). Under their respective charters, PMHC must always own at
   least 51% of the outstanding voting stock of Pacific LifeCorp, and Pacific
   LifeCorp must always own 100% of the voting stock of Pacific Life. Owners
   of Pacific Life's annuity contracts and life insurance policies have
   certain membership interests in PMHC, consisting principally of the right
   to vote on the election of the Board of Directors of PMHC and on other
   matters, and certain rights upon liquidation or dissolution of PMHC.
 
   As a result of the Conversion, $65 million of retained earnings was
   allocated for the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock with a par
   value totaling $30 million and $35 million to paid-in capital.
 
   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
   Pacific Life was established in 1868 and is organized under the laws of the
   State of California as a stock life insurance company. Pacific Life
   conducts business in every state except New York.
 
   Pacific Life and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business
   operations which consist of life insurance, annuities, pension and
   institutional products, group employee benefits, broker-dealer operations
   and investment management and advisory services. Pacific Life's primary
   business operations provide a broad range of life insurance, asset
   accumulation and investment products for individuals and businesses and
   offer a range of investment products to institutions and pension plans.
   Additionally, through its major subsidiaries and affiliates, Pacific Life
   provides a variety of group employee benefits, broker-dealer operations and
   investment management and advisory services.
 
   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Life
   Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
   include the accounts of Pacific Life and its wholly-owned insurance
   subsidiaries, PM Group Life Insurance Company ("PM Group") and World-Wide
   Holdings Limited, and its wholly-owned noninsurance subsidiaries, Pacific
   Asset Management LLC ("PAM"), Pacific Mutual Distributors, Inc. ("PMD"),
   Pacific Mutual Realty Finance, Inc. and Pacific Mezzanine Associates,
   L.L.C. (50% owned). All significant intercompany transactions and balances
   have been eliminated. Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial
   statements based on accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
   Insurance Department of the State of California. These consolidated
   financial statements differ from those followed in reports to regulatory
   authorities (Note 2).
 
   PAM was initially capitalized on December 31, 1997, when Pacific Life
   completed a subsidiary restructuring in which all the assets and
   liabilities of Pacific Financial Asset Management Corporation ("PFAMCo")
   were contributed into this newly formed limited liability company. PFAMCo
   was then merged into Pacific Life. On October 30, 1997, Pacific Corinthian
   Life Insurance Company ("PCL"-Note 4), a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary,
   was merged into Pacific Life, with Pacific Life as the surviving entity.
 
   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
   During 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," SFAS No. 131,
   "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," and
   SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
   Postretirement Benefits."
 
                                                                              79

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
   SFAS No. 130 established standards for the reporting and display of
   comprehensive income and its components in financial statements (Note 11).
   SFAS No. 131 established standards for the way information about operating
   segments is reported in financial statements. It also established standards
   for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and
   major customers (Note 13). SFAS No. 132 standardized disclosure
   requirements for employers' pensions and other retiree benefits (Note 14).
   Adoption of these accounting standards did not have a significant impact on
   the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
   Company.
 
   On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified
   Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3,
   "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related
   Assessments." SOP 97-3 provides guidance on when a liability should be
   recognized for guaranty fund and other assessments and how to measure the
   liability. Adoption of this accounting standard did not have a significant
   impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
   the Company.
 
   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
   "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
   133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS No.
   133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
   instruments and hedging activities. The Company currently plans to adopt
   SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2000. The impact on the consolidated financial
   position or results of operations of the Company due to the adoption of
   this statement has not yet been determined.
 
   In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of
   Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
   requires that certain costs incurred in developing internal use computer
   software be capitalized. The Company currently plans to adopt SOP 98-1 on
   January 1, 1999. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact
   on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
   Company.
 
   INVESTMENTS
 
   Available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities are reported at
   estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred
   income tax and adjustments related to deferred policy acquisition costs,
   included as a separate component of equity on the accompanying consolidated
   statements of financial condition. Trading securities, which are included
   in short-term investments, are reported at estimated fair value with
   unrealized gains and losses included in net realized capital gains on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
   For mortgage-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities, the
   Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on
   anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities.
   When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated
   to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. The net
   investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have
   existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of
   the securities. This adjustment is reflected in net investment income on
   the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
   Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a
   specific identification basis and are included in net realized capital
   gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
   Short-term investments are carried at estimated fair value and include all
   trading securities.
 
   Derivative financial instruments are carried at estimated fair value.
   Unrealized gains and losses of derivatives used to hedge securities
   classified as available for sale are reflected in a separate component of
   equity on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition,
   similar to the accounting of the underlying hedged assets. Realized gains
   and losses on derivatives used for hedging are deferred and amortized over
   the average life of the related hedged assets or insurance liabilities.
   Unrealized gains and losses of other derivatives are included in net
   realized capital gains on the accompanying consolidated statements of
   operations.
 
   Mortgage loans and policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 
   Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, or for real estate acquired in
   satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at
   the date of acquisition if lower than the related unpaid balance.
 
   On November 15, 1994, certain of the Company's investment management and
   advisory subsidiaries entered into an agreement and plan of consolidation
   with Thomson Advisory Group L.P., a Delaware limited partnership with
   publicly traded units, to merge into a newly capitalized partnership named
   PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors"). In December 1997, PIMCO Advisors
   completed a transaction in which it acquired the assets of Oppenheimer
   Capital, L.P., including its interest in Oppenheimer Capital, by issuing
   approximately 33 million PIMCO Advisors General and Limited Partner units.
   In connection with this transaction, the Company increased its investment
   in PIMCO Advisors to reflect the excess of the Company's pro rata share of
   PIMCO Advisors partners' capital subsequent to this transaction over the
   carrying value of the Company's investment in PIMCO Advisors. The net
   result of this transaction was to directly increase stockholder's equity by
   $85.1 million. The Company's beneficial ownership in PIMCO Advisors was
   approximately 42% prior to this transaction and 31% as of December 31,
   1997. During 1998, the Company increased its investment in PIMCO Advisors
   to reflect its pro rata share of the increase to PIMCO Advisors partners'
   capital due to the issuance of additional partnership units. For the year
   ended December 31, 1998, there was a direct increase to the Company's
   stockholder's equity of $6.1 million. During 1998, the Company also
   acquired the beneficial ownership of additional partnership units which
   increased its ownership to 33% as of December 31, 1998. Deferred taxes
   resulting from these transactions have been included in the accompanying
   consolidated financial statements. The Company's investment in PIMCO
   Advisors, which is included in other investments on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of financial condition, is accounted for using the
   equity method.
 
   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
   Cash and cash equivalents include all liquid debt instruments with an
   original maturity of three months or less.
 
   DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
 
   The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions,
   medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all of
   which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new
   business, have been deferred. For universal life, annuity and other
   investment contract products, such costs are generally amortized in
   proportion to the present value of expected gross profits using the assumed
   crediting rate. Adjustments are reflected in earnings or equity in the
   period the Company experiences deviations in gross profit assumptions.
   Adjustments directly affecting equity result from experience deviations due
   to changes in unrealized gains and losses in investments classified as
   available for sale. For life insurance products, such costs are being
   amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies in
   proportion to premium revenues recognized, using assumptions consistent
   with those used in computing policy reserves. For the years ended December
   31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, net amortization of deferred policy acquisition
   costs included in commission expenses amounted to $73.0 million,
   $50.2 million and $42.6 million, respectively, and included in operating
   expenses amounted to $33.5 million, $29.4 million and $27.4 million,
   respectively, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
   PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS
 
   In connection with the rehabilitation of First Capital Life Insurance
   Company ("FCL"-Note 4), an asset was established which represented the
   present value of estimated future profits of the acquired business. The
   future profits were discounted to provide an appropriate rate of return and
   were amortized over the rehabilitation plan period. Amortization for the
   years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 amounted to $16.1 million and
   $24.2 million, respectively, and is included in commission expenses on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 1996, the
   Company changed certain assumptions regarding the estimated life which
   resulted in an increase in amortization in 1996 of approximately $17.0
   million.
 
                                                                              81

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 
   UNIVERSAL LIFE, ANNUITY AND OTHER INVESTMENT CONTRACT DEPOSITS
 
   Universal life, annuity and other investment contract deposits are valued
   using the retrospective deposit method and consist principally of deposits
   received plus interest credited less accumulated assessments. Interest
   credited to these policies primarily ranged from 4.0% to 8.4% during 1998,
   1997 and 1996.
 
   FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
 
   Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method.
   Interest rate assumptions ranged from 4.5% to 9.3% for 1998, 1997 and 1996.
   Mortality, morbidity and withdrawal assumptions are generally based on the
   Company's experience, modified to provide for possible unfavorable
   deviations. Future dividends for participating business are provided for in
   the liability for future policy benefits. Dividends to policyholders are
   included in policy benefits paid or provided on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations.
 
   Dividends are accrued based on dividend formulas approved by the Board of
   Directors and reviewed for reasonableness and equitable treatment of
   policyholders by an independent consulting actuary. As of December 31, 1998
   and 1997, participating experience rated policies paying dividends
   represented approximately 1% of direct written life insurance in force.
 
   REVENUES AND EXPENSES
 
   Insurance premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and
   expenses, other than deferred policy acquisition costs, are recognized when
   incurred.
 
   Generally, receipts for universal life, annuities and other investment
   contracts are classified as deposits. Policy fees from these contracts
   include mortality charges, surrender charges and earned policy service
   fees. Expenses related to these products include interest credited to
   account balances and benefit amounts in excess of account balances.
 
   Commission revenue from Pacific Life's broker-dealer subsidiaries is
   generally recorded on the trade date.
 
   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
   Depreciation of investment real estate is computed on the straight-line
   method over the estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 30 years.
   Certain other assets are depreciated or amortized on the straight-line
   method over periods ranging from 3 to 40 years. Depreciation of investment
   real estate is included in net investment income on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation and amortization of
   other assets is included in operating expenses on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations.
 
   INCOME TAXES
 
   Pacific Life is taxed as a life insurance company for income tax purposes
   and is included in the consolidated income tax returns of PMHC. Prior to
   1998, Pacific Life was subject to an equity tax calculated by a prescribed
   formula that incorporated a differential earnings rate between stock and
   mutual life insurance companies. In December 1998, the Internal Revenue
   Service released Revenue Ruling 99-3 which exempts Pacific Life from this
   tax for taxable years beginning in 1998. Deferred income taxes are provided
   for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for
   financial reporting and income tax purposes.
 
   SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
 
   Separate account assets are recorded at market value and the related
   liabilities represent segregated contract owner funds maintained in
   accounts with individual investment objectives. The investment results of
   separate account assets generally pass through to separate account contract
   owners.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
   ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
   The estimated fair value of financial instruments disclosed in Notes 6 and
   7 has been determined using available market information and appropriate
   valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to
   interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
   the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts the Company
   could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market
   assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect
   on the estimated fair value amounts.
 
   BUSINESS RISKS
 
   The Company operates in a business environment that is subject to various
   risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
   limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, and legal and regulatory
   changes.
 
   Interest rate risk is the potential for interest rates to change, which can
   cause fluctuations in the value of investments. To the extent that
   fluctuations in interest rates cause the duration of assets and liabilities
   to differ, the Company may have to sell assets prior to their maturity and
   realize losses. The Company controls its exposure to this risk by, among
   other things, asset/liability matching techniques which attempt to match
   the duration of assets and liabilities and utilization of derivative
   instruments. Additionally, the Company includes contractual provisions
   limiting withdrawal rights for certain of its products. A substantial
   portion of the Company's liabilities are not subject to surrender or can be
   surrendered only after deduction of a surrender charge or a market value
   adjustment.
 
   Credit risk is the risk that issuers of investments owned by the Company
   may default or that other parties may not be able to pay amounts due to the
   Company. The Company manages its investments to limit credit risk by
   diversifying its portfolio among various security types and industry
   sectors. The credit risk of financial instruments is controlled through
   credit approval procedures, limits and ongoing monitoring. Real estate and
   mortgage loan investment risks are limited by diversification of geographic
   location and property type. Management does not believe that significant
   concentrations of credit risk exist.
 
   The Company is also exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
   by the counterparties to interest rate swap contracts and other derivative
   securities. The Company manages this risk through credit approvals and
   limits on exposure to any specific counterparty. However, the Company does
   not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
 
   The Company is subject to various state and Federal regulatory authorities.
   The potential exists for changes in regulatory initiatives that can result
   in additional, unanticipated expense to the Company. Existing Federal laws
   and regulations affect the taxation of life insurance or annuity products
   and insurance companies. There can be no assurance as to what, if any,
   cases might be decided or future legislation might be enacted, or if
   decided or enacted, whether such cases or legislation would contain
   provisions with possible negative effects on the Company's life insurance
   or annuity products.
 
   USE OF ESTIMATES
 
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting
   period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
   RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
   Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1998
   financial statement presentation.
 
                                                                              83

2. STATUTORY RESULTS (Continued)
 
   RISK-BASED CAPITAL
      
   Risk-based capital is a method developed by the National Association of
   Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") to measure the minimum amount of capital
   appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business
   operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formulas for
   determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting
   factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of
   activity based on the perceived degree of risk. The adequacy of a company's
   actual capital is measured by comparing it to the risk-based capital as
   determined by the formulas. Companies below minimum risk-based capital
   requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires
   specified corrective action. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, Pacific Life
   and PM Group exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements.     
 
   CODIFICATION
 
   In March 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting
   Principles ("Codification"). The Codification, which is intended to
   standardize regulatory accounting and reporting for the insurance industry,
   is proposed to be effective January 1, 2001. However, statutory accounting
   principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and
   permitted practices and it is uncertain when, or if, the states of
   California and Arizona will require adoption of Codification for the
   preparation of statutory financial statements. The Company has not
   finalized the quantification of the effects of Codification on its
   statutory financial statements.
 
   DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 
   Dividend payments by Pacific Life to its parent in any 12-month period
   cannot exceed the greater of 10% of statutory capital and surplus as of the
   preceding year-end or the statutory net gain from operations for the
   previous calendar year, without prior approval from the Insurance
   Department of the State of California. Based on this limitation and 1998
   statutory results, Pacific Life could pay approximately $240.9 million in
   dividends in 1999 without prior approval. No dividends were paid during
   1998.
 
   Extraordinary dividends to Pacific Life from PM Group are subject to
   regulatory restrictions and approvals by the Insurance Department of the
   State of Arizona, PM Group's state of domicile. The maximum amount of
   ordinary dividends that can be paid by PM Group without restriction cannot
   exceed the lesser of 10% of surplus as regards policyholders, or the
   statutory net gain from operations. PM Group received approval to pay
   dividends of $14 million and $25 million for the years ended December 31,
   1997 and 1996 of which $8 million and $18 million, respectively, were
   considered extraordinary. No dividends were paid during 1998.
 
   PERMITTED PRACTICE
 
   As discussed in Note 1, the Company beneficially owns approximately 33% of
   the outstanding General and Limited Partner units in PIMCO Advisors L.P. as
   of December 31, 1998. Net cash distributions received on these units are
   recorded as income as permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of
   California for statutory accounting purposes.
 
3. CLOSED BLOCK
 
   In connection with the Conversion, an arrangement known as a closed block
   (the "Closed Block"), was established, for dividend purposes only, for the
   exclusive benefit of certain individual life insurance policies that had an
   experience based dividend scale for 1997. The Closed Block was designed to
   give reasonable assurance to holders of Closed Block policies that policy
   dividends will not change solely as a result of the Conversion.
 
   Assets of Pacific Life have been allocated to the Closed Block in an amount
   that produces cash flows, which, together with anticipated revenues, are
   expected to be sufficient to support the policies. Pacific Life is not
 
                                                                              85

3. CLOSED BLOCK (Continued)
 
   required to support the payment of dividends on these policies from its
   general funds. The Closed Block will continue in effect until either the
   last policy is no longer in force, or the dissolution of the Closed Block.
   Total assets of $311.6 million and $316.2 million and total liabilities of
   $352.8 million and $356.0 million for the Closed Block are included in
   other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 1998 and
   1997, respectively. The contribution to income from the Closed Block of
   $5.1 million and $5.7 million, consisting of net revenues and expenses
   generated by the Closed Block, is included in other income on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended
   December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
 
4. REHABILITATION OF FIRST CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
 
   On September 30, 1997, PCL completed the rehabilitation of FCL pursuant to
   a five-year rehabilitation plan approved by the California Superior Court
   and the Insurance Department of the State of California (the
   "Rehabilitation Plan"). Under the terms of the Rehabilitation Plan, FCL's
   insurance policies in force, primarily individual annuities and universal
   life insurance, were restructured and assumed by PCL on December 31, 1992,
   pursuant to an assumption reinsurance agreement and asset purchase
   agreement. On October 30, 1997, PCL was merged into Pacific Life, with
   Pacific Life as the surviving entity.
 
5. ACQUISITION OF INSURANCE BLOCKS OF BUSINESS
      
   On June 1, 1997, Pacific Life acquired a block of corporate-owned life
   insurance ("COLI") policies from Confederation Life Insurance Company
   (U.S.) in Rehabilitation, which is currently under rehabilitation
   ("Confederation Life"), which consisted of approximately 38,000 policies
   having a face amount of insurance of $8.6 billion and reserves of
   approximately $1.7 billion. The assets received as part of this acquisition
   amounted to approximately $1.2 billion in cash and approximately $0.4
   billion in policy loans. This block is primarily non-leveraged COLI.     
 
   The remaining cost of acquiring this business, representing the amount
   equal to the excess of the estimated fair value of the reserves assumed
   over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, amounted to $36.5
   million and $43.4 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
   and is included in deferred policy acquisition costs on the accompanying
   consolidated statements of financial condition. Amortization of this asset
   for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $7.7 million and $0.9
   million, respectively, and is included in commission expenses on the
   accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
      
   In January 1999, Pacific Life signed a definitive agreement to acquire a
   payout annuity block of business from Confederation Life. This block of
   business consists of approximately 18,000 policies, having reserves
   amounting to approximately $2.0 billion. The transaction is subject to
   various regulatory and Court approvals and is anticipated to close during
   1999.

   The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair
   value of fixed maturity and equity securities are shown below. The
   estimated fair value of publicly traded securities is based on quoted
   market prices. For securities not actively traded, estimated fair values
   were provided by independent pricing services specializing in "matrix
   pricing" and modeling techniques. The Company also estimates certain fair
   values based on interest rates, credit quality and average maturity or from
   securities with comparable trading characteristics.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
   of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997:
 
   MORTGAGE LOANS
 
   The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is determined by
   discounting the estimated future cash flows, using a year-end market rate
   which is applicable to the yield, credit quality and average maturity of
   the composite portfolio.
 
   POLICY LOANS
 
   The carrying amounts of policy loans are a reasonable estimate of their
   fair values.
 
   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
   The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair
   values.
 
   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
   Derivatives are financial instruments whose value or cash flows are
   "derived" from another source, such as an underlying security. They can
   facilitate total return and, when used for hedging, they achieve the lowest
   cost and most efficient execution of positions. Derivatives can also be
   used to leverage by using very large notional amounts or by creating
   formulas that multiply changes in the underlying security. The Company's
   approach is to avoid highly leveraged or overly complex investments. The
   Company utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to diversify its
   business risk and to minimize its exposure to fluctuations in market
   prices, interest rates or basis risk as well as for facilitating total
   return. Risk is limited through modeling derivative performance in product
   portfolios for hedging and setting loss limits in total return portfolios.
 
   Derivatives used by the Company involve elements of credit risk and market
   risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated
   financial statements. The notional amounts of these instruments reflect the
   extent of involvement in the various types of financial instruments. The
   estimated fair values of these instruments are based on dealer quotations
   or internal price estimates believed to be comparable to dealer quotations.
   These amounts estimate what the Company would have to pay or receive if the
   contracts were terminated at that time. The Company determines, on an
   individual counterparty basis, the need for collateral or other security to
   support financial instruments with off-balance sheet counterparty risk.

</TABLE>
 
   Interest Rate Floors, Caps, Options and Swaptions
 
 
   The Company uses interest rate floors, caps, options and swaptions to hedge
   against fluctuations in interest rates and to take positions in its total
   return portfolios. Interest rate floor agreements entitle the Company to
   receive the difference when the current rate of the underlying index is
   below the strike rate. Interest rate cap agreements entitle the Company to
   receive the difference when the current rate of the underlying index is
   above the strike rate. Options purchased involve the right, but not the
   obligation, to purchase the underlying securities at a specified price
   during a given time period. Swaptions are options to enter into a swap
   transaction at a specified price. The Company uses written covered call
   options on a limited basis. Gains and losses on covered calls are offset by
   gains and losses on the underlying position. Floors, caps and options are
   reported as assets and options written are reported as liabilities in the
   accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. Cash
   requirements for these instruments are generally limited to the premium
   paid by the Company at acquisition. The purchase premium of these
   instruments is amortized on a constant effective yield basis and included
   as a component of net investment income in the accompanying consolidated
   statements of operations over the term of the agreement. Interest rate
   floors and caps, options and swaptions mature during the years 1999 through
   2017.
 
   Interest Rate Swap Contracts
 
 
   The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and to
   take positions in its total return portfolios. The interest rate swap
   agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate
   interest payments or the exchange of floating to floating interest payments
   tied to different indexes. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the
   contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The amounts to
   be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are accrued and recognized
   through an adjustment to net investment income in the accompanying
   consolidated statements of operations over the life of the agreements. The
   interest rate swap contracts mature during the years 1999 through 2021.
 
                                                                              91

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
 
   Asset Swap Contracts
 
 
   The Company uses asset swap contracts to manage interest rate and equity
   risk to better match portfolio duration to liabilities. Asset swap
   contracts involve the exchange of upside equity potential for fixed income
   streams. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements
   are accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income
   in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of
   the agreements. The asset swap contracts mature during the years 2000
   through 2005.
 
   Credit Default and Total Return Swaps
 
 
   The Company uses credit default and total return swaps to take advantage of
   market opportunities. Credit default swaps involve the receipt of fixed
   rate payments in exchange for assuming potential credit exposure of an
   underlying security. Total return swaps involve the exchange of floating
   rate payments for the total return performance of a specified index or
   market. The amounts to be received or paid pursuant to these agreements are
   accrued and recognized through an adjustment to net investment income in
   the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the life of the
   agreements. Credit default and total return swaps mature during the years
   1999 through 2028.
 
   Financial Futures Contracts
 
 
   The Company uses exchange-traded financial futures contracts to hedge cash
   flow timing differences between assets and liabilities and overall
   portfolio duration. Assets and liabilities are rarely acquired or sold at
   the same time, which creates a need to hedge their change in value during
   the unmatched period. In addition, foreign currency futures may be used to
   hedge foreign currency risk on non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
   Financial futures contracts obligate the holder to buy or sell the
   underlying financial instrument at a specified future date for a set price
   and may be settled in cash or by delivery of the financial instrument.
   Price changes on futures are settled daily through the required margin cash
   flows. The notional amounts of the contracts do not represent future cash
   requirements, as the Company intends to close out open positions prior to
   expiration.
 
   Foreign Currency Derivatives
 
 
   The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps to
   hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency
   derivatives involve the exchange of foreign currency denominated payments
   for U.S. dollar denominated payments. Gains and losses on foreign exchange
   forward contracts offset losses and gains, respectively, on the related
   foreign currency denominated assets. The amounts to be received or paid
   under the foreign currency swaps are accrued and recognized through an
   adjustment to net investment income in the accompanying consolidated
   statements of operations over the life of the agreements. Foreign currency
   derivatives expire during the years 1999 through 2013.
 
   GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACTS AND DEPOSIT LIABILITIES
 
   The estimated fair value of fixed maturity guaranteed interest contracts is
   estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
   remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of deposit liabilities with
   no defined maturities is the amount payable on demand.
 
   ANNUITY LIABILITIES
 
   The estimated fair value of annuity liabilities approximates carrying value
   and primarily includes policyholder deposits and accumulated credited
   interest.

   SHORT-TERM DEBT
 
   The carrying amount of short-term debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair
   value because the interest rates are variable and based on current market
   values.
 
   SURPLUS NOTES
 
   The estimated fair value of surplus notes is based on market quotes.
 
   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
   Pacific Life has issued certain contracts to 401(k) plans totaling $1.6
   billion as of December 31, 1998, pursuant to the terms of which the 401(k)
   plan retains direct ownership and control of the assets related to these
   contracts. Pacific Life agrees to provide benefit responsiveness in the
   event that plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In return for this
   guarantee, Pacific Life receives a fee which varies by contract. Pacific
   Life sets the investment guidelines to provide for appropriate credit
   quality and cash flow matching.

9.  SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT
       
    Pacific Life borrows for short-term needs by issuing commercial paper.
    Principal of $234.9 million and interest payable of $0.6 million was
    outstanding as of December 31, 1998, bearing an average interest rate of
    5.22%, and was repaid in January 1999. There was no commercial paper debt
    outstanding as of December 31, 1997. Pacific Life has a revolving credit
    facility available of $350 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. There
    was no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December
    31, 1998 and 1997.     
    
    PAM had bank borrowings outstanding of $60 million and $104 million as of
    December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The interest rate averaged 5.8%,
    5.8% and 5.6% for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
    respectively. Outstanding debt is due and payable in 1999 and subject to
    renewal. The borrowing limit for PAM as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
    $200 million.
    
    Pacific Life has $150 million of long-term debt which consists of surplus
    notes outstanding at an interest rate of 7.9% maturing on December 30,
    2023. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30. The
    surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of Pacific Life or any
    holder of the surplus notes. The surplus notes are unsecured and
    subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness and policy
    claims of Pacific Life. Each payment of interest on and the payment of
    principal of the surplus notes may be made only with the prior approval of
    the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California. Interest expense
    amounted to $11.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1998,
    1997 and 1996 and is included in net investment income on the accompanying
    consolidated statements of operations.
 
10. INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The
    deferred tax consequences of changes in tax rates or laws must be computed
    on the amounts of temporary differences and carryforwards existing at the
    date a new tax law is enacted. Recording the effects of a change involves
    adjusting deferred tax liabilities and assets with a corresponding charge or
    credit recognized in the provision for income taxes. The objective is to
    measure a deferred tax liability or asset using the enacted tax rates and
    laws expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the
    deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized.
    
    The provision for income taxes is as follows:

12. REINSURANCE
 
    The Company has reinsurance agreements with other insurance companies for
    the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks or,
    in the case of a producer-owned reinsurance company, to diversify risk and
    retain top producing agents. Amounts receivable from reinsurers for
    reinsurance on future policy benefits, universal life deposits, and unpaid
    losses is reported as an asset and included in other assets on the
    accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. All assets
    associated with reinsured business remain with, and under the control of the
    Company. Approximate amounts recoverable (payable) from (to) reinsurers
    include the following amounts:

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    The Company's six operating segments are Individual Insurance, Institutional
    Products Group, Annuities, Group Employee Benefits, Broker-Dealers and
    Investment Management. These segments have been identified based on
    differences in products and services offered. All other activity is included
    in Corporate and Other.
 
    The Individual Insurance segment offers universal life, variable universal
    life and other life insurance products to individuals, small businesses and
    corporations through a network of distribution channels that include branch
    offices, marketing organizations, national accounts and a national producer
    group. The Institutional Products Group segment offers investment and
    annuity products to pension fund sponsors and other institutional investors
    primarily through its home office marketing team. The Annuities segment
    offers variable and fixed annuities to individuals, small businesses and
    qualified plans through financial institutions, National Association of
    Securities Dealers ("NASD") firms, and regional and national wirehouses.
 
    The Group Employee Benefits segment offers group life, health and dental
    insurance, and stop loss insurance products to corporate, government and
    labor-management-negotiated plans. The group life, health and dental
    insurance is distributed through a network of sales offices and the stop
    loss insurance is distributed through a network of third party
    administrators. The Broker-Dealers segment includes five NASD registered
    firms that provide securities and affiliated insurance brokerage services
    and investment advisory services through more than 3,100 registered
    representatives. The Investment Management segment is primarily comprised of
    the Company's investment in PIMCO Advisors (Note 1). PIMCO Advisors offers a
    diversified range of investment products through separately managed
    accounts, and institutional, retail and offshore funds.
 
    Corporate and Other primarily includes investment income, expenses and
    assets not attributable to the major segments and the operations of the
    Company's reinsurance subsidiary located in the United Kingdom. Corporate
    and Other also includes the elimination of intersegment revenues, expenses
    and assets.
 
    The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure
    segment income and assets as it uses to measure its consolidated net income
    and assets. Net investment income and capital gains are allocated based on
    invested assets purchased and held as is required for transacting the
    business of that segment. Overhead expenses are allocated based on services
    provided. Interest expense is allocated based on the short-term borrowing
    needs of the segment and is included in net investment income. The income
    tax provision is allocated based on each segment's actual tax liability.
 
    Intersegment revenues include commissions paid by the Individual Insurance
    segment and the Annuities segment for variable product sales to the Broker-
    Dealers segment. Investment Management segment assets have been reduced by
    an intersegment note payable of $110 million as of December 31, 1998. The
    related intersegment note receivable is included in Corporate and Other
    segment assets.
 
    The Company generates substantially all of its revenues and income from
    customers located in the United States. Additionally, substantially all of
    the Company's assets are located in the United States.
 
    Depreciation expense and capital expenditures are not material and have not
    been reported herein. The Company's significant non cash item is interest
    credited to universal life, annuity and other investment contract deposits
    and is disclosed herein.
 
                                                                              99

    PENSION PLANS
 
    Pacific Life has defined benefit pension plans which cover all eligible
    employees who have one year of continuous employment and have attained age
    21. The full-benefit vesting period for all participants is five years.
 
    Benefits for employees are based on years of service and the highest five
    consecutive years of compensation during the last ten years of employment.
    Pacific Life's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan
    sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
    Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional
    amounts as may be determined appropriate. Contributions are intended to
    provide not only for benefits attributed to employment to date but also for
    those expected to be earned in the future. All such contributions are made
    to a tax-exempt trust. Plan assets consist primarily of group annuity
    contracts issued by Pacific Life, as well as mutual funds managed by an
    affiliate of Pacific Life.
 
    Components of net periodic pension cost are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
   In determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
   obligation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the weighted average discount
   rate used was 6.5% and 7.0%, respectively, and the rate of increase in
   future compensation levels was 5.0% and 5.5%, respectively. The expected
   long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.5% in 1998 and 1997.
 
   In connection with the merger of PCL into Pacific Life as discussed in Note
   4, Pacific Life assumed sponsorship of PCL's defined benefit pension plan.
   This pension plan provides for retirement income benefits at age 65 with
   reduced benefits for early retirement. Effective December 31, 1997, PCL's
   defined benefit plan merged into Pacific Life's plan. All benefits
   associated with PCL's plan remain unchanged subsequent to the merger.
 
   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
   Pacific Life sponsors a defined benefit health care plan and a defined
   benefit life insurance plan (the "Plans") that provide postretirement
   benefits for all eligible retirees and their dependents. Generally,
   qualified employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach
   normal retirement age, have been covered under Pacific Life's policy as an
   active employee for a minimum continuous period prior to the date retired,
   and have an employment date before January 1, 1990. The Plans contain cost-
   sharing features such as deductibles and

    coinsurance, and require retirees to make contributions which can be
    adjusted annually. Pacific Life's commitment to qualified employees who
    retire after April 1, 1994 is limited to specific dollar amounts.
    Pacific Life reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any
    time. As in the past, the general policy is to fund these benefits on a
    pay-as-you-go basis.
 
    The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December
    31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 is $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $1.4 million,
    respectively. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the accumulated benefit
    obligation is $19.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The fair value
    of the plan assets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 is zero. The amount of
    accrued benefit cost included in other liabilities on the accompanying
    consolidated statements of financial condition is $25.3 million and $26.0
    million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
  
    The Plans include both indemnity and HMO coverage. The assumed health care
    cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated benefit obligation for
    indemnity coverage was 8% and 9% for 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is
    assumed to decrease gradually to 3.5% in 2003 and remain at that level
    thereafter. The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
    accumulated benefit obligation for HMO coverage was 7% and 8% for 1998 and
    1997, respectively, and is assumed to decrease gradually to 3% in 2003 and
    remain at that level thereafter.
  
    The amount reported is materially effected by the health care cost trend
    rate assumptions. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were
    increased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
    December 31, 1998 would be increased by 8.0%, and the aggregate of the
    service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost would
    increase by 7.5%. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were
    decreased by 1%, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
    December 31, 1998 would be decreased by 6.8%, and the aggregate of the
    service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost would
    decrease by 6.5%.
 
    The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
    benefit obligation is 6.5% and 7.0% for 1998 and 1997, respectively.
  
    OTHER PLANS
 
    Pacific Life provides a voluntary Retirement Incentive Savings Plan
    ("RISP") pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering
    all eligible employees of the Company. Effective October 1, 1997, Pacific
    Life's RISP changed the matching percentage of each employee's
    contributions from 50% to 75%, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible employee
    compensation and restricted the matched investment to an Employee Stock
    Ownership Plan ("ESOP") sponsored by Pacific LifeCorp. The ESOP was formed
    at the time of the Conversion and is currently only available to the
    participants of the RISP in the form of matching contributions.
  
    Pacific Life also has a deferred compensation plan which permits certain
    employees to defer portions of their compensation and earn a guaranteed
    interest rate on the deferred amounts. The interest rate is determined
    annually and is guaranteed for one year. The compensation which has been
    deferred has been accrued and the primary expense, other than compensation,
    related to this plan is interest on the deferred amounts.
  
    The Company also has performance based incentive compensation plans for its
    employees.
 
15. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    Pacific Life serves as the investment advisor for the Pacific Select Fund,
    the investment vehicle provided to the Company's variable life and variable
    annuity contractholders. Pacific Life charges fees based upon the net asset
    value of the portfolios of the Pacific Select Fund, which amounted to $42.1
    million, $27.5 million and $14.3 million for the years ended December 31,
    1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, Pacific Life provides
    certain support services to the Pacific Select Fund for an administration
    fee which is based on an

    allocation of actual costs. Such administration fees amounted to $232,000,
    $165,000 and $108,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
    respectively.
 
    PIMCO Advisors provides investment advisory services to the Company for
    which the fees amounted to $16.9 million, $11.4 million and $6.2 million
    for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    Included in equity securities on the accompanying consolidated statements
    of financial condition are investments in mutual funds and other
    investments managed by PIMCO Advisors which amounted to $40.3 million and
    $46.5 million as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
 
    Pacific Life provides certain support services to PIMCO Advisors. Charges
    for these services are based on an allocation of actual costs and amounted
    to $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December
    31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
  
16. TERMINATION AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS
 
    Effective November 15, 1994, in connection with the PIMCO Advisors
    transaction (Note 1), termination and non-competition agreements were
    entered into with certain former key employees of PAM's subsidiaries. These
    agreements provide terms and conditions for the allocation of future
    proceeds received from distributions and sales of certain PIMCO Advisors
    units and other noncompete payments. When the amount of future obligations
    to be made to a key employee is determinable, a liability for such amount
    is established.
 
    For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, approximately $49.4
    million, $85.8 million and $35.3 million, respectively, is included in
    operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of
    operations related to the termination and non-competition agreements. This
    includes payments of $43.1 million in 1997 to former key employees who
    elected to sell to PAM's subsidiaries their rights to the future proceeds
    from the PIMCO Advisors units.
  
17. COMMITMENTS
 
    The Company has outstanding commitments to make investments primarily in
    fixed maturities, mortgage loans, limited partnerships and other
    investments as follows (In Millions):

18. LITIGATION
 
    The Company was named in civil litigation proceedings similar to other
    litigation brought against many life insurers alleging misconduct in the
    sale of products, sometimes referred to as market conduct litigation. The
    class of plaintiffs included, with some exceptions, all persons who owned,
    as of December 31, 1997 (or as of the date of policy termination, if
    earlier), individual whole life, universal life or variable life insurance
    policies sold by the Company on or after January 1, 1982. The Company has
    settled this litigation pursuant to a finalsettlement agreement approved by
    the Court in November 1998. The settlement agreement is currently being
    implemented. The cost of the settlement has been included in the
    accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the three years
    ended December 31, 1998.
 
    Further, the Company is a respondent in a number of other legal proceedings,
    some of which involve allegations for extra-contractual damages. In the
    opinion of management, the outcome of the foregoing proceedings is not
    likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
    position or results of operations of the Company.

If the person insured by the policy is assigned a risk classification other
than standard, a factor is applied to the maximum surrender charge rate
according to the nonstandard table rating assigned to that person insured. If
the person insured is assigned a nonstandard rating reflected in the table
setting of nonstandard table factors at the bottom of Appendix A, the rate
above that applies to the person insured is multiplied by the applicable
nonstandard table factor that applies if Death Benefit Option A or C is
selected. We apply a factor of 1.00 to the maximum surrender charge for a
person insured assigned a risk classification other than standard who selects
Death Benefit Option B.

RE:  Pacific Select Exec II Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy

To whom it may concern:

In my capacity as Assistant Vice President of the Product Design Department of
Pacific Life Insurance Company, I have provided actuarial advice concerning:

The preparation of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-6 filed by Pacific Life Insurance Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect
to variable life insurance policies (the "Registration Statement") and the
preparation of the policy forms for the variable life insurance policies
described in the Registration Statement (the "Policies").

It is my professional opinion that:

The illustration of death benefits, cash values and accumulated premiums shown
in the Appendix to the prospectus, based on the assumptions stated in the
illustrations and on two pages immediately preceding the illustrations, are
consistent with the provisions of the Policies.  The rate structure of the
Policies has not been designed so as to make the relationship between premiums
and benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear to be correspondingly more
favorable to the prospective purchaser of the Policies at age 45 in the
underwriting classes illustrated than to prospective purchasers of Policies at
other ages or underwriting classes.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.


Sincerely,

/s/ LAWRENCE M. HERSH
