ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
($ in thousands)



1.   Basis of Presentation

          Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company") is wholly
     owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Parent") of Allstate Insurance Company
     ("Allstate"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the
     "Corporation").

          The statements of financial position as of March 31, 1996, the
     statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996
     and 1995, and the statements of cash flows for the three-month periods then
     ended are unaudited. The interim financial statements reflect all
     adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in
     the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the
     financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
     periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     financial statements and notes thereto included in the Allstate Life
     Insurance Company of New York Annual Report on Form 10K for 1995. The
     results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered
     indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

          To conform with the 1996 presentation, certain items in the prior
     year's financial statements have been reclassified.


2.   Accounting Change

          Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
     Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
     Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS No. 114
     defines impaired loans as loans in which it is probable that a creditor
     will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due under the terms of
     a loan agreement and requires that impaired loans be measured based on the
     present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
     effective interest rate, at the loan's observable market price, or at the
     fair value of the collateral. SFAS No. 118 amends SFAS No. 114 to allow a
     creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on
     impaired loans. The adoption of these statements did not have a material
     impact on net income or financial position.

     in the table above and at fair value in the statements of financial
     position.
(2)  Separate Accounts are included at fair value.

STATUTORY PREMIUMS AND DEPOSITS

    Statutory premiums, which include premiums and deposits for all products,
decreased $26.5 million or 37.1% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996
from $71.3 million for the same period in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due
to lower sales of structured settlement annuities, partially offset by an
increase in sales of variable annuities.

PREMIUM INCOME, CONTRACT CHARGES AND PROVISION FOR POLICY BENEFITS

    Premium income and contract charges under generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") decreased 44.2% for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  Under GAAP, revenues exclude
deposits on most annuities and premiums on universal life insurance policies.
The decrease in premium and contract charges in 1996 is primarily the result of
lower sales of structured settlement annuities with life contingencies.  Policy
benefits decreased $19.9 million, or 31.6% during the first quarter of 1996,
also reflecting the decrease in the level of sales of structured settlement
annuities with life contingencies, partially offset by higher mortality costs.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME

    Pre-tax net investment income increased 9.4% in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was related to the 10.9% or
$133.7 million increase in invested assets resulting primarily from growth in
new business, partially offset by surrenders and other benefits paid.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    Operating expenses decreased by $281 thousand, or 4.8%, in the first quarter
of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to reduced acquisition costs due to lower sales of structured
settlements.  First quarter 1995 operating expenses reflected a one-time $303
thousand benefit related to a reduced rate of amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs, due to favorable universal life insurance persistency.

NET OPERATING INCOME

    Net operating income decreased by 6.4% in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to higher
mortality losses, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses, in the
first quarter of 1996 and the nonrecurring benefit attributable to the
amortization of deferred acquisition costs in the first quarter of 1995.

REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES

     Realized capital losses after tax of $45 thousand during the first quarter
of 1996 were lower than realized capital losses after tax of $1.05 million
during the first quarter of 1995.  The lower losses were attributable to
commercial mortgage loans.

INVESTMENTS

FIXED INCOME SECURITIES

     The Company closely monitors its fixed income security portfolio for
declines in value that are other than temporary.  Securities are placed on non-
accrual status when they are in default or when the receipt of interest payments
is in doubt.

     The Company monitors the quality of its fixed income portfolio, in part, by
categorizing certain investments as problem, restructured or potential problem
investments.  Problem fixed income securities are those in default with respect
to principal and/or interest and/or securities issued by companies that went
into bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition of the security.  Restructured fixed
income securities have modified terms and conditions that were not at current
market rates or terms at the time of the restructuring.  Potential problem fixed
income securities are current with respect to contractual principal and/or
interest, but because of other facts and circumstances, management has serious
doubts regarding the borrower's ability to pay future interest and principal,
which causes management to believe these securities may be classified as problem
or restructured in the future.  At March 31, 1996, problem, restructed, and
potential problem fixed income investments were $3.9 million.  There were no
problem, restructured, and potential problem fixed income securities at December
31, 1995.

MORTGAGE LOANS

     The Company defines problem commercial mortgage loans as loans that are in
foreclosure, have a principal or interest payment over 60 days past due, or are
current but considered in-substance foreclosed. Restructured commercial mortgage
loans have modified terms and conditions that were not at prevailing market
rates or terms at the time of the restructuring. Potential problem commercial
mortgage loans are current or less than 60 days delinquent as to contractual
principal and interest payments, but because of other facts and circumstances,
management has serious doubts regarding the borrower's ability to pay future
interest and principal, which causes management to believe these loans may be
classified as problem or restructured in the future. At both March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 total problem, restructured and potential problem loans, net
of valuation allowances, were $9.6 million.

     The total pre-tax provision for loan losses was $52 thousand and $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
carrying value of impaired loans as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, was
$9.6 million in each period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal source of funds consists primarily of premiums and
annuity deposits and collections of principal and income from the investment
portfolio.  The Company generates substantial positive cash flows from operating
activities.  The major use of these funds are policyholder claims and benefits,
acquisition of investments, contract maturities, surrenders and other operating
costs.
