Notes to Condensed  Financial Statements (unaudited)

June 30, 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 six month period ended  June  30,
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 six months of 1996 was $2.50  million,  an
increase  of $.14 million or 125% from the first six months  of  1995.
Net  income  for  the  second quarter of 1996  was  $1.02  million,  a
decrease  of  $.25  million or 20% from the second  quarter  of  1995.
Premiums  for  the first six months of 1996 were $234.50  million,  an
increase  of  $173.5  million or 284% from the comparative  period  in
1995.

Life  and annuity product fees and policy charges increased from $9.08
million  for  the first six months of 1995 to  $9.57 million  for  the
first  six  months of 1995, an increase of $.48 million  or  5%.   The
increase is primarily attributable to a $.91 million increase  in  the
asset  based fees earned from the increasing block of business, offset
primarily  by  a $.43 million decrease in surrender charges  collected
due  to higher overall persistency in the first half of 1996.  Product
fees  and policy charges were $5.12 million for the second quarter  of
1996,  an  increase of $.68 million or 15% from the  comparative  1995
period.

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  $1.11  million
for  the  first  six months of 1996 and $.57 million  for  the  second
quarter of 1996.

Net  investment income was $3.61 million for the first six  months  of
1996,  an  increase of $2.49 million or 222% over the comparable  1995
period.   Second quarter 1996 investment income was $2.24 million,  an
increase  of  $1.52 million or 213% from the comparative 1995  period.
The  increases were 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 $.01 million for the first six  months
of 1995 to $.42 million for the comparative 1996 period.  The increase
was  attributable to changes in short term interest rates in the first
quarter  of  1996 that led to losses on funds held in temporary  short
term  investment vehicles prior to being reinvested in more  suitable,
longer  term  securities.  Realized losses for the second  quarter  of
1996  were  $.09 million versus a $.02 million gain in second  quarter
1995.

<PAGE>
Operating  and  administrative expenses were $10.07  million  for  the
first six months of 1996, an increase of $2.35 million or 13% from the
comparable 1995 period.  The increase was due to an increase of  $2.68
million  in interest credited to the fixed interest divisions,  offset
by  a  reduction in benefits expense of $.43 million.   Operating  and
administrative expenses were $5.82 million for the second  quarter  of
1996,  an increase of $2.05 million or 54% from the second quarter  of
1995.   The  increase was due to a $1.77 million increase in  interest
credited  to the fixed interest division, an increase of $.17  million
in  the  amortization of the unamortized costs assigned  to  insurance
contracts  in  force, an increase of other expenses of  $.20  million,
offset by a reduction in benefits expense of $.20 million.


Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) for the first
six  months of 1996 was $1.29 million, essentially unchanged from  the
$1.36  million for the first six months of 1995.  Second quarter  1996
DPAC  amortization was $1.00 million, an increase of $.86 million from
second  quarter 1995.  The DPAC is being amortized over the  lives  of
the  policies  in  relation to the present value of  estimated  future
gross profits.  The relative performance of the funds during reporting
periods  results  in the accelerating or slowing of  the  amortization
during that reporting period.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Golden  American, as an insurance company, is ordinarily  involved  in

and we do not expect to incur significant losses from such actions.
