Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(unaudited)

March 31, 1996

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  unaudited condensed financial  statements  have  been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include  all  of
the  information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles  for  complete  financial  statements.   In  the  opinion  of
management,  all  adjustments (consisting of normal recurring  accruals)
considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.
Operating  results for the three month period ended March 31,  1996  are
not  necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for  the
year  ended  December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer  to  the
financial  statements  and  footnotes thereto  included  in  the  Golden
American Life Insurance Company annual report on form 10-K for the  year
ended December 31, 1995.

Item 2.   Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations

Net  income  for  the first three months of 1996 was $1.49  million,  an
increase of $1.64 million from the $.16 million loss for the first three
months  of  1995.   Premiums for the first three  months  of  1996  were
$120.60  million,  an  increase  of $93.63  million  or  347%  from  the
comparative period in 1995.

Life  and  annuity product fees and policy charges decreased from  $4.64
million  for  the  first three months of 1995 to $4.45 million  for  the
first  three  months  of 1996, a decrease of $.19 million  or  4%.   The
decrease is attributable to a $.27 million decline in surrender  charges
collected due to higher overall persistency in the first  quarter,  plus
a  decrease of $.34 million in the revenue recognition  of  distribution
fees  offset  by a $.42 million increase in the asset based fees  earned
from the increasing block of business.

In  fourth  quarter 1995, the service agreement between DSI  and  Golden
American was amended to provide for a management fee from DSI to  Golden
American  for  certain managerial and supervisory services  provided  by
Golden American.  This fee, calculated as a percentage of average assets
in  the variable separate accounts, was $.54 million for the first three
months of 1996.

Net  investment income was $1.37 million for the first three  months  of
1996,  an  increase  of  $.96 million or 37% over  the  comparable  1995
period.   The  increase  was primarily due to the additional  investment
income  earned  on  invested  assets held to  back  the  fixed  interest
divisions that were introduced in 1995.

Realized  losses increased from $.03 million for the first three  months
of  1995 to $.33 million for the comparative 1996 period, an increase of
962%.   The increase was attributable to changes in short term  interest
rates  that  led  to  losses  on  funds held  in  temporary  short  term
investment  vehicles prior to being reinvested in more suitable,  longer
term securities.

Operating  and administrative expenses were $4.25 million for the  first
three  months  of  1996,  an increase of $.30 million  or  8%  from  the
comparable  1995 period.  The  increase was due to an increase  of  $.92
million in interest credited to the fixed interest divisions, offset  by
a  reduction  in benefits expense of $.23 million, a  reduction  in  the
amortization of the unamortized costs assigned to insurance contracts in
force, and a reduction of other expenses of approximately $.20 million.

Amortization  of  deferred  policy acquisition  costs  (DPAC)  was  $.29
million  for the first three months of 1996, a decrease of $.93  million
or  76%  from  the  comparative prior year period.  The  DPAC  is  being
amortized  over  the lives of the policies in relation  to  the  present
value   of  estimated  future  gross  profits.   The  relatively  strong
performance of the funds in 1996 has slowed the amortization in 1996  as
compared to 1995.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

Golden  American,  as  an insurance company, is ordinarily  involved  in
litigation.   We do not believe that any current litigation is  material
and we do not expect to incur significant losses from such actions.

Item 5.   Other Information - Events Subsequent.

Equitable   of  Iowa  Companies  ("Equitable  of  Iowa")  and  Whitewood
Properties  Corp., a Subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company,  have  entered
into  a  definitive agreement providing for the acquisition by Equitable
of  Iowa  of  all  interest in BT Variable, Inc. BT Variable,  Inc.,  an
indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Company, is the corporate parent of
Golden  American  and DSI.  The acquisition, which  is  subject  to  the
approval of the appropriate regulators and satisfaction of certain other
customary  conditions set forth in the agreement, is expected  to  close
during the second half of 1996.  With assets of $10 billion as of  March
31,  1996,  Equitable of Iowa is the holding company for Equitable  Life
Insurance  Company of  Iowa, USG Annuity & Life  Company, Locust  Street
Securities, Inc., and Equitable Investment Services, Inc.
